About

I want to be a great teacher of primary school children. I am on my way but still far. I want my friends to know that they are loved and that they are special. I hope I am on my way but know I am still far. I want to be loved and know that I am special.

It came full circle, ugliness

We are all hopeless, it cannot be escaped. My heart is still beating but I feel as though my soul has stopped beating with it a long time ago. My soul is not a living thing but in a state of dying, like it has achieved its peak and is gradually fading away into a …

Inspiration

There are times when you simply lack motivation or ideas and you just cannot bring yourself to write, right now is one of those times. So, in an effort for inspiration I sometimes use a dictionary to find a random word, which then gives me an opportunity to write on a …

I am a perfectionist

I have a lot of conversation with a lot of different people but it always seems to revolve around one thing: the vacuity of my generation and my consequent isolation from it. I love my generation, I love how we are opposed to everything, how we are cynical and how we …

People not profit, Jun 5, 2007:

conlict of interest? not really. maybe you should start an organization called Profits not people. we'll be PNP I and you can be PNP II. we'd be like sister organizations, but antithetically. in the end, we'd cancel each other out and it'd be like neither one of us ever existed....maybe that is a conflict of interest.

Watching Scrubs at Mez's sounds nice.

I used to watch Boosh with Ely May. I have the 2nd season on DVD, but i don't want to watch it without her. Weird huh?

Sorry about your assignment. Stop feeling sad about it and just start working on it man. Better now then at 1am the day it is due. You can spend time on here at 1am the day it is due if you really want to. Or you could go to sleep. If you get your assignment done, at least you will have that option.

I'm sorry. I am just rambling now. I guess it is a cry for attention.

That's because you are white.

White people never have arses.

(I have NO plans for tonight. It's hard when you don't have a GF anymore. I have to get used to organising stuff again. What are you up to?)

Lukey B, May 9, 2007:

I wrote some stuff about myself.

It's late. I should to go to Bed.

But the demons are out in force tonight.
