about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

  • "Moral of the story: Do not look at the gap. The gap is the mind-killer. Remember how Wile E. Coyote never fell down until he saw the chasm? It’s just like that." --Taylor "Tei" Lindstrom, Rogue Ink

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

I’ve Fallen, The Next Generation

November 17, 2004

The curse has crossed the generation gap.

My boys had a half day of school today. Since I have school on Wednesdays, this meant my dad had to be here to get them earlier than usual. My parents are in the process of remodeling their house, and the new floors were being installed today. My dad wanted to take the boys back to his house, but my mom was completely against the idea. She never likes having the boys there because she has this idea that they’ll always get into trouble. Everytime they’ve been there, she’s reported that, on a scale of 1-10, they were 20s. So, they’ve never been trouble, and there was no reason to believe they would be trouble today.

When I talked to my dad this morning, he asked me again if it would be okay to take the boys back to his house. I didn’t have a problem with it. My exact words were, “They’re not puppies, they’re people. If you tell them not to run around, they won’t run around.” If you’ve been following along for the past couple of days, you know what happened today.

At 4:00, I got a call from my dad. Jacob was running around the kitchen where he slid and cut his knee open on a nail. My dad was taking him to urgent care just to be on the safe side. At 5:30, I got a call from him again, asking if I preferred him to have stitches or a butterfly bandage which would require 7-10 days of careful attention. Jacob got three stitches.

My mom always says things like this happen in threes. We’ll see.

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
