That Dang Smell...

So,

I was walking around campus yesterday...

And this familiar, pungent, odor kept following me around.


It was my body odor.


And, though It won't help meet any girls, It gave me a nostalgic feeling of rememberance. Of when I've lived in the bush, or had any real outdoor adventure. That smell is something that I relish.

It is the smell of sweat, heath, and adventure.

It is the smell of freedom.

The smell of nature.

The smell of mosquitoes.

The smell of campfire.

The smell of hiking.

The smell of a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Its MY smell.

The Ships

I've seen so many ships sailing
just to head back out again
and go off sinking

Modest Mouse.

Science Saved My Soul. A video.

An intelligent, thoughtful, and extremely engaging video, discussing God, the universe, and Atheism.

No, I'm not an Athiest, but this video rings true for me none-the-less.

Creature Fear - Interpretation vs. Reality

My ridiculous interpretation (By when I just listen to it and type) of the song "Creature Fear" By Bon Iver

Interpretation:

Seminary Souls
I was fold by your car
I was lost by your food
was a lonely visbly wrong
say you are the wrong

So many foriegn laws
so ready to be found
so ready for us
so ready for us

A creature fear

I was teased by your blouse
spit out by your mouth
I was loud by your lone
Seminary Soul

Tear on
Tear on
Take all lll llllll
Soft blood and nose

Seminary floor

So many territories
ready to reform
dont let it form us
dont let it form us
a creature fear

So many Foriegn flaws
so many tourists

a creature fear


Reality:

I was full by your count
I was lost but your fool
Was a long visit wrong?
Say you are the only

So many foreign worlds
(So relatively fucked)
So ready for us
So ready for us,
The creature fear

Teased by your blouse
Spit out by your mouth
I was loud by your lowered
Seminary sold

Tear on tail on
Take all on the wind on
The soft bloody nose
Sign another floor...

The so many territories
Ready to reform
Don't let it form us
Don't let it form us
The creature fear

So did he foil is 'own?
Is he ready to reform?
So many torahs
So many for us
The creature fear       

Blah Blah blAH?

Why do I have to SPEND?

So,

I bought a computer this week. Or should I say, I built a computer, with a bunch of parts I bought, amounting to around 900$.

Intell i5 2500k - 3.3Ghz stock, Unlocked, and overclockable to over 4Ghz
MSI P65 motherboard - with every bell and whistle on the market. Intense overclocking ability
Thermaltake Tower - a solid desktop tower, with lots of room for equipment and cooling capabilities
Nividia 8800gs - My old video card, still a very capable mule - Im going to overclock it as well before I sell
New CD rom
New Harddrive
New power supply - 500w
Windows 7 Professional

Now that I have it...

I don't know,

Im just not satisfied.

I mean, It was fun to build up, and I did have some extra money for which to spend; if I chose. But, Im disappointed in myself now.

So, off to Craigslist.ca it goes. I will try to get as much for it back as I can.


Once you've hit rock bottom financially, which I did before, I've become more worried and careful with spending money. Not that it helped me here.

A old man told me once, "Money in the bank is your friend, with it, you can do anything" But, once you spend it, you lose that friend.

I have lost that friend.

It was just a good aquaintance, and Im sure I'll me able to earn that friend back...

Its hard to understand what it is that makes me so desperate to buy. As soon as I had realised that I was doing well, and had extra cash to burn, a squad of female Amazon warriors couldn't stop me from spending it.

I feel a little better now, that I've decided to try to mop up the damage, and sell the beast.

And, I think that if I play my cards right, I could come out without much of a hit.
