There are two ways to swim. Saturday, Apr 21 2007 

It seems that life is too difficult to get through all by yourself. I got up really early this morning because I was thinking about a lot of random stuff. I thought about the Virginia Tech incident the most. The man that murdered everybody, he said he did it out of vengeance and hatred. I think he did it because he was lonely. I do detest the fact that he murdered 32 innocent lives, but I can’t help but pity him. There’s lonely and there’s being alone. This guy is lonely. So lonely that he began to develop crazy thoughts and dumb actions. That goes back to my point. When does loneliness takes over you? When does it drives you to the edge? When does it begins to cloud your judgment? Good rule of thumb: like a tumor, when it gets old enough to talk, get rid of it. Crazy people always use the excuse “Someone else is talking to me in my head.” That’s probably you, no duh. So learn a lesson here today. Go out and make friends. Don’t be lonely. Keep a cheerful attitude, and by all means don’t go out and massacre 32 random people just because you got a grudge against the world.

Eye rearlee nee 2 lurn hao too spelllll. Tuesday, Apr 17 2007 

Last night I, for some reason, listened to (get this) Enya for about an hour. I never know how soothing her music was but it was also very…… odd. I warn you, do not listen to Enya for several hours, you will wake up finding yourself flying in the sky while dodging (get this) airplanes and ducks. I really forgot how good some songs are. I try to remember the songs that I sang when I was little but I just can’t remember them. Music is a wonderful tool, you can use it for almost anything. I remember in 1oth grade, when I was taking my mid-term I kept singing Bubba Sparxxx’s “Ms. New Booty” in my head. There was one line “Get it right, get it right, get it tight!” and that line alone motivated me so much to “get it right.” I ended up passing that mid-term with flying colors. I believe music has the power of healing also. When my friend was ill, I remember sitting next to her bed and quite literally lifting her out of her pain with a ballad of romantic break-up songs. I remember starting out with “You Are Not Alone”, followed up with “Complicated Heart”, continued with “My Heart Will Go On”, added Diana Ross’s most needy song “Touch Me In The Morning”, and finally ended with an inspiration by the Bee Gees to help my friend keep “Staying Alive.” She threw hot soup at me. But nonetheless, the power of music prevailed and always. Save the music, don’t let it die, and whatever you do, never sing “The Mistake of Love” at a wedding.
