committed

i did it.

i booked $1300 worth of steel, petroleum and peanuts.

yes, i am bound for _____ in january, nation.

now, how much do vaccinations for malaria and yellow fever cost? should i just risk it? how easy it is to get? haha yeah right, watch one episode of "monsters inside me" and you'd get vaccinated even if you weren't going anywhere tropical.

so i had a conversation about friendship and how there are people you just click with without any reasonable explanation but that it happens completely naturally. i think of them as kindred spirits and that one is only allotted a certain amount in life and i've managed to stumble upon a few! lucky me:) we're definitely souls with bodies and not bodies with souls. mine just manages to be one that loooves to eat... is it true what they say about the body losing 21 grams after death, which is supposed to be the weight of your soul? if so, mines is more like 21 pounds to be sure.

i keep re-evaluating my reality. i like to think of 2012 as the death of the current consciousness of the world as it is, that we will evolve to (hopefully) be something better after that. so as 12/21/2012 presses on, i hope i will BE and DO everything i mean and dream of doing. (we won't get into that unless we're friends though.)

observations of the day:

.the weather is so unpredictable that i should always carry around a coat as well as booty shorts in case of atmospherical changes

.the marina is populated with females with the name "lauren" or some variation of it. and everyone likes to wear clothes that lead us to think that they don't do anything but exercise

.i know wear all my junk is coming from. eating food from work for half of the week means i'm consuming excess amounts of butter, cheese, and bread. in other words, everything i love. i'm cursed with the most delicious job ever.

needless to say, i will be taking donations for my trip to _____.

as the hobos here say, spare change?
