  • General Xanga Reflection Page

    I used this xanga from October 2008-March 2009. I have enjoyed having a xanga but there were some dissapointments for it which made me decide to leave. I also wanted to try out other websites. Xanga is definitely better than blogger. Im going to try out MindSay and if MindSay sucks too, then Livejournal, and if not livejournal Xanga again.

    I enjoyed getting to observe other people's thoughts, and writing styles. I liked seeing people reach out to each other. I reached out to others and met a lot of people on xanaga, but it seems like Ill maintain longer connections with just one person. I am dissapointed by that and how others dont seem to care. Maybe it was my url "Unknown_cellars" or having no default picture of a while, or  random layout. Anyways, I still got to engage enough with others.

    I used this website as a way to keep track of my days because living is more satisfying when you are keeping track whats going on. I wanted it to organize my mind and take the most out of each day and learn that skill and it has served its purpose.

    I still didnt reread all of my xanga entries, and will get to do that in about a week. I do know my writing evolved. For writing, I want to be less scattered, not be too rhetorical or show hype for what might happen next and then turn out to not happen. I also sometimes wrote too hastily.I did have good writing. I think I have much more originality and substance than many others who have xanga. I experimented a lot with xanga. I am better now at recalling events and reflecting on each day. This was good practice for writing. It made me feel more whole. It helped me have less clutter in life. I know my tastes and preferences more. My memory drive is stronger. It saved my life during a vicious time. I have a better idea for what I should use my writing for.

    People need to try to communicate effectively more often and actually use their brains. I will not let myself be brought down by losers who dont know how to life and be with others, and the more and more people who live knowing what the world and society needs, the better.

  • The matter of the Universe

    Desireta

    " Go placidly amid the noise and haste

    and remember what peace there may be in silence

    As far as possible without surrender

    be on good terms with all persons

    Speak your truth quietly and clearly

    and listen to others

    even the dull and the ignorant

    they too have their story.

     

    Avoid loud and agressive persons

    they are vexations to the spirit

    If you compare yourself with others

    you may become vain and bitter

    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself

    Enjoy your acheivements as well as your plans

     

    Keeep interested in your own career, however humble;

    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time

    Exercise caution in your business affairs;

    for the world is full of trickery

    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is

    many persons strive for high ideals :

    and everywhere life is full of heroism

     

    Be yourself

    Especially to not feign affection

    Neither by cynical about love:

    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment

    it is as perennial as the grass

     

    Take kindly to the counsel of the years

    gracefully surrendering the things of youth

    Nurture strength in spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune

     

    But to not distress yourself with dark imaginings

    Many fears are born of fatique and loneliness

    Beyond a wholesome for discipline

    be gentle with yourself

     

    You are the child of the universe

    no less than the trees and the stars

    you have a right to be here

    And whether or not it is clear to you

    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

     

    Therefore be at peace with God

    whetever you conceive God to be

    and whatever your labors and aspirations,

    in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul

     

    With all its shame, drudgery, and broken dreams

    it is still a beautiful world

    Be cheerful

    Strive to be happy "

  • The Anticipation

    At this point, I just want to be here for another month. I want to finish at least 40 things on my huge to do list, which mostly can be done being at home or at an internet cafe.  I cant believe how messed up things got here but the only thing to do is to move on and in some ways this bump in my life has been good because I know what direction I want to take. There is a lot that has improved.

    I want to go to an independent living program, preferrably away from the city. within a month. I hope I can geographically pick the location. I have to get ready for going to one of those places. Ill, probably be there for at least 4 months. I never want to show myself around these parts again and be reminded of the undesirable aspects of my past. This has been a good time to remember everything good about my past but not be in the srrroundings of my past ever again. Things wouldnt have gotten this complicated if I moved as recently as October.

    I still feel a bit ambivalent about this decsion. I would have had 3 concerts to go to (Bloc Party, Mogwai, and the Faint) I would have Feng Shui classes to take and all of these places below to go to:

     Caffe Notte

    Muddy Cup in Staten Island

    The Coffee Pot

    Irving Place Coffee and Tea Bar
    Cafe Wha
    Bagel Zone
    Sympathy for the Kettle
    Cafe PickmeUp
    Cake Shop
    Esperanto Cafe
    Grey Dogs Cafe
    Gorrilla Cofee Ink
    Joe the Art of Coffee all 4 locations in Manhatten, Staten Island, and Queens
    Cocoa butter
    Max Brenner
    Lucky Cat
    Tillie's of Brooklyn in Clinton Hill
    Ozzie's Cafe III
     
    Neighborhood/areas
    Brooklyn Heights
    Battery Park City
    Roosevelt Island
    Hoboken
    Extreme eastern parts of Upper East Side and extreme Western part of Upper West Side
    Greenpoint
    Williamsburg
     
    I also have 120 gym hours to complete if I want to graduate in June. I would have been able to take Tai Chi classes,  Kayak, and/or play Hockey. I got so messed up here without it being my fault that I just dont care if I put some aspects of life on hold and dont do some of the things above I could have done by staying here longer. I dont even mind if I graduate a bit later.

    1 Part of Soul Meets Body by Death Cab for Cutie

    "I want to live where soul meets body
    And let the sun wrap its arms around me
    And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
    And feel, feel what it's like to be new

    Because in my head there's a Greyhound station
    Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations
    So they may have a chance of finding a place
    Where they're far more suited than here

    I cannot guess what we'll discover
    When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
    But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
    And not one speck will remain"
     
    2 Part of Linkin Park Crawling
     
    "Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
    It's haunting how I can't seem
    To find myself again
    My walls are closing in
    Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
    there's just too much pressure to take "

     
    3 Part of The World at Large by Modest Mouse
     
    "My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth."
     
    4 Part of Pioneers by Bloc Party
     
    "If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be touched then it can be turned"
     
    5 Part of S.O.S by Rihanna
     
    "It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
    Y.O.U. are making this hard,
    I can't take it, see it don't feel right
    S.O.S. please someone help me
    It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
    Y.O.U. are making this hard
    You got me tossin' and turnin' and can't sleep at night"
     
    6 Part of Faint by Linkin Park
     
    "I can't feel the way I did before
    Don't turn your back on me
    I won't be ignored
    Time won't heal this damage anymore"
     
    7 Part of Pulse in the Way by me

    "My premonition will guide me

    Pulses that don't need to be explained but followed without questioning

    For now, its a pulse in the way

    I still know what Im getting myself into

    All the risks and preoccupations

    The thrill is satisfying"

     

    (I cant seem to upload any recent pictures of me onto my profile pictures>.<)

    Peace, Everyone (For once saying peace does not sound cliche or tacky)

  • "And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains"

    "If you say there ain't no way that i could know
    If you say i aim too high from down below
    Well, say you're not 'cause when i'm gone
    You'll be callin' but i won't be at the phone

    And i'm hanging around 'till it's all done
    You can't keep me back once i had some
    No wasting time to get it right
    And you will see what i'm about"

  • Sandstorm

    Where are the sounds to match?

    The cannon to send me going

    I want to get rid of this debris

    Where can I put the debris to never see it again?

    It’s piling up

    Slowly increasing in toxic substance

     

    Visually more unpleasing

    I am fumbling with my personality

    Wanting to reach out but my speech is blocked

    Too many changes too quickly to adjust

    Need to find new doors to walk in

    A new place to test myself  

    Too many triggers here to even bother

     

    I don’t know who I am anymore

    Who I represent

    Falling behind and getting blinded by the smallest of particles

    A sandstorm of worries

    I’ll wait until it dissipates

    Does it mean I have to stand here until then?

     

    The stagnancy is making me worn out

    I traded high stamina for low stamina

    Accessibility to empowerment is crumbling

    The guilt is an avalanche

    Calculating how much the avalanche will take away

    Foundations and safety net swept away

     

    I’m holding onto anything I can

    Will this floor be sturdy enough?

    I already have plunged before and can’t risk myself for more falls

     The light bulb is burning out and there needs to be a new replacement

    Conserving my sanity even if that means laying low for a while from a lot of activity

    Patiently holding out for the stash of rewards

    Deserting the small and petty but it seems like nobody else is
