(Un)certainty →
That is, I think doubt is essential to faith. If you take a leap of faith, it really is a leap, a leap into the unknown. But if you’re absolutely certain about it, if you are convinced you are in possession of The Truth — the kind that inevitably comes with that capital “T” — then there’s no…

The Car.
Walked out to my car this weekend and was welcomed by a puddle of oil! The pan cracked again. My car is a lemon and would really like it if someone could take it away please. On the plus side every time it breaks my knowledge of cars increases every time this happens! And I have finally found a mechanic that is awesome and honest. I met him working at the Clara, he is a campus security officer by...

Katie: It's all the same laying down.
Large Words are NOT ALLOWED at Victoria Secret!
So my roommate got “yelled at” for saying the word utilitarian. BECAUSE it was to large of a word and people would not understand it. Here are my thoughts on it.
1. Are they gonna make a list of vocab words that are OK to use. Or put a three syllable limit on it?
2. Second, if you don’t know what that word means and english is not your second language and over the age of...

Whoops....I can't help it
I love my life sometimes, things just happen that everyone else would be mortified by but since its a daily event for me, I really don’t notice or don’t care one or the other. Defiantly was sitting in the quite harry potter room at the library tonight listening to music and typing the paper from hell, WHEN I farted, apparently really loud because after I broke my staring contest with...
Mambo photos!
Basically I was the only one in the photo lab today so I decided to have some fun! I was singing and dancing in the lab and have a awesome time. Till I turned around and saw someone staring at me. I asked if he wanted to dance, but I just got a stare down and he walked out. Apparently he doesn’t like the mambo, oh well his lose. Needless I toned it down a little as in… stopped...
Thief Steals Potato Chips...but left the Matza
It is always a glorious surprise to walk outside your apartment, walk to your car to discover that it has been broken into again. The papers were everywhere, every compartment open, basically it looks like a hot mess. I mean honestly it was pretty messy prior to this event, but its 10x’s worse!
Oh and it gets better, the only thing stolen was a BAG OF POTATO CHIPS. I guess I really did...
Beauty in Darkness
There is a shimmer of light at night
A harmony that darkness brings out,
A sense of fear, followed by peace,
Hurt conquered with laughter, warmth replacing cold.
Feeling unknown, but realizations of truth.
Tears which expose love. Memories.
A clear melody, yet undecided direction.
A new life opened by death.
Faith in surrendering, hope in the future.
Goodness overtakes the music of the...

Dwelling on the Past...
How many times have you actually had a conversation and the past was not mentioned once?
It makes sense that we discuss our past and share it with those around us; but, when that become the majority of our conversations it is a issue. When we focus on what has been instead of what will be or what is happening we lose something so precious - th now. “Live in the moment” is a over used...

One day I was attempting to get our of my drive way… it was proving to be very difficult but i eventually managed after almost hitting Jonny’s care and a tree multiple times. I kept thinking ‘this car is a piece of shit, it can’t even handle a bit of ice! Damn Lemon!’ Well, it preceded to get gradually worse. Soon, I was pumping by breaks thinking there may have been...

Work this morning
Me: Good morning
Night Monitor: no response
Me thinking 'seriously I was only a minute late and you won't talk to me'
Me: How was your night?
Night Monitor: Oh, your talking to me? Ah...it was...ok, BUT I didn't get a break so I'm tired.
Serious you work at Santa Clara midnights, you can read a book, watch a movie, go online, listen to music the ENTIRE THING IS A BREAK. AKA the easiest job ever so get over it there are worse things in life and your life is not that bad! Sorry if this sounds mean but these night people are awful, if your like 30 seconds late they are so PISSED OFF and don't talk to you! But if your like 2 minutes late they'll call you in! Really, is it necessary to be rude? becasue apparently you hate your life or me - one or the other. Concidering I am a pretty legit person my guess is that you that you are unhappy with your life choices. If thats the cause they have eight hours each night to figure it out or study or find a new job or take online classes, but don't take your frustration out on me please...I am a realitively happy person at 6am and don't appreciate people ingnoring me, depressing me or bringing my moral own!
