Time Says Aloha
The day I have been dreaming about ever since July 2000 has finally arrived! Today is the first work day since I quit my job.
Today: (1) Work out. [Check] (2) Buy groceries. [Check] (3) Clean dishes in sink. [Check] (4) Continue to digitize CD collection. [In progress] (5) Fold clothes and do laundry. [In progress] (6) Cook dinner. (7) Relax.
On a sadder note, the quick passage of time means that I'll soon have to say ciao to my friends here in the Bay Area.
Most likely the brainchild of school administrators sick of teenage deliquency, students in my junior high had to keep a journal. Teachers would read those journals weekly, comment on the entries, and keep track of any warning signs. I once wrote, "Time goes by so quickly that before I know it, I will be on my death bed." My teacher commented, "Next thing you know, you'll probably be getting married and having children. Don't worry about death yet."
Whenever I feel bad about time slipping away, I think back to my journal. I think of how I haven't even gotten married yet, and then I feel better.

Hmm, I am getting married next year. Ah the time, it flies, it flies, maybe I should start picking out a casket now. Maybe I could be on the next MTV show, pimp my casket. Oh I hope I get the one with the onboard lcd screen so I can watch all the best movies, oh wait I will be dead. I guess i will change that request to an anti-death smell mechanisim.
Maybe if you start praying more they'll save you a lcd tv in heaven. Or whatever tv-equivalent is all-the-rage by the time we die.
Or you can remain religion-less but adopt Chinese culture. We burn paper things to spirit them to the other side for their dead ancestors/friends to use. For example, we burn paper money, paper boats, why not paper televisions?
But more importantly, congratulations on that wedding thing.
