I was looking through my notes for this one apparently terribly boring class I had in 2010. I hate that I don't remember anything from the class, yet had the time to write "VOMIT" in all caps, draw people vomiting, draw the twins, swans, elephants, mice, frogs, stars, spirals, write little notes like "Ahh I wish this class would end omg only 30 mins left I'm gonna dieee," and write "Bill Kaulitz" in cursive over and over and over.
I also found this charming poem I wrote, because I had time to devise poems but not to remember anything from the lectures 3 years later.
LOCKER
Metal walls guarding one's possessions
Slots in the door. Why?
Airholes for trapped children
Bullied and enjailed in those 4 metal walls
Rows of steel jails lining school halls
Stifled cries echoing deafeningly from within
Ear-splitting bangs
Morse code for S.O.S
WTF, me?

Today was a fun day. I discovered Taeyang has a personal youtube account. He uploaded a Beyonce cover that's quite nice, but what made me laugh so hard was his username: THETEYDADDY. Appropriate graphic is appropriate, and not mine. X)

.......He's gonna be singing "I Need A Girl" for the rest of his life. So, I clicked from Taeyang's channel to this very bizarre, amazing video.... And my life changed forever.
( Taeyang doesn't need a girl--he just needs ice cream! )

This is some seriously cool stuff. One is just a exaggerated skeletal frame suspended over a body, and another where it's prisms crowding over each other like an angular mob. There's another that looks really futuristic in shape, but natural and earthy because it's made of bamboo or some other natural fiber. There's another that makes the model look like a moth, framing thin plastic strips (like what comes out of a tape cassette) into wings, and a mask made of black feathers that have little antennae.
So basically, visual candy. These are really intricate; pieces of art.

This is WEIRD.
There was a baby born with big muscles! They're studying him in hopes of finding some ways to help muscular distrophy.
There are blind people who use echolocation! That's neat.
There's a guy who can eat metal, and digest it and everything!
There's another guy who is above pain.
Rubberboy.
And then an AS savant, who knows five languages and learned Icelandic in one week. Wow!

Be positive, always. I can't believe you can't ever say anything bad about any customer. Ever. Wow. Not even an asshole customer. That would be a challenge. I know-- one time I tried not to complain for 21 days and it was HARD.
