things we have learned from today

don’t go blabbing confidential information, even when you think you are anonymous over the internet. just not a safe thing to do. i won’t say exactly what happened, because i would be making the exact same mistake, but lets just say i said something today in a public forum that should not have been said, and it came back and bit me in the butt. suck.

i haven’t started studying for my finals yet. pretty idiotic of me. whatever. instead a couple of us got take out chinese and watched pirates of the caribbean.

today, i switched internet browsers to camino from safari. so far, i really like it. because it is open source, it is much more customizable. it runs off of the gecko engine, so i get all of the rendering ability of firefox, but it was written in native mac os cocoa, so it is very mac-ish and well integrated. some set backs: no built in rss reader like safari, but i started using a news aggregator called netnewswire, and i am rather happy with that also, so no real loss there. but, for some reason, i still can’t load the kronos system webpage (used for clocking in and out of work), even when i am in firefox emulation mode, so i guess i will have to keep firefox around still.

the weather sucked today. a total joke. snow and slush.

my favorite song for today was “be my escape” by relient k.

i really should start (trying to) playing guitar again. why am i getting so many views on my blog?

are people actually reading these? i have a feeling they are just hits from bots, because i got a ton of fake friend requests after i posted my girl musings. weird.

things i don’t like today:

  • cold showers in the morning
  • utah spring weather not being able to figure out if it wants to be hot or cold
  • the vending machine where i can buy brownies being out of order
  • dorks who don’t like my dancing at the divine comedy show. high school is over, douche bags.

and i guess i will be positive and say what is good:

  • no homework for the rest of the semester
  • for most of my finals, i only need around a 60% to get an A
  • my ingenious use of a newspaper to cover up the freezing cold air vents in our office continues to be a hit, and my boss is considering putting the product out for general consumption

i’m a song writer!

yeah, we had to translate a japanese song called ue wo muite into english for one of my classes.. here is what i wrote:

I Look Above Me

Translated by Ryan Johnson

I look above me,
so no one else can see,
The tears that fall as I walk down this street,
I think of the day,
you left me in spring,
Another night of solitude

I look above me,
its hard for me to see,
The stars in the sky through these tear filled eyes,
I remember when you,
left me in summer,
Another night of solitude

Maybe there will be happiness up there,
Somewhere in the clouds and the sky above

I look above me,
so no one else can see,
The tears that fall as I walk down this street,
The tears wont stop,
because I know,
Another night of solitude

(Whistling)

I know this fall,
you will just leave,
Another night of solitude

This sadness comes down to me from above,
Its in my shadow cast by the moon

I look above me,
so no one else can see,
The tears that fall as I walk down this street,
The tears wont stop,
because I know,
Another night of solitude

Another night of solitude

(Whistling)

haha!
