you know how when it's about 3 weeks before your birthday you start telling people you're already that year older.....
why can't that apply to graduation.

i'm so sad... they used to say that staring at a screen would turn your brain to oatmeal mush- now if you stare at the right screen apparently you get smarter.......... i have so much more to do.

Happy Birthday March

2008-03-04T08:20:45Z

in 2 weeks from today, i'll be 22
so young, but so much time has passed.

i've never really realized in myself before that the things i like i usually grow to like and then i like them forever- from sunglasses and shoes to ideas and places.
that's interesting.
it makes it really sad when i lose my sunglasses.

March is bittersweet. the first two-3 weeks are no good. but the last part is gonna be so good and then next quarter i have "resolutions". but basically i'm stoked. woo.

yes.

2008-02-24T00:27:13Z

this has been such an unproductive day.
really all i want to do is cuddle up in my bed and watch the rain water the earth. appreciate it for the colors and adventures it will bring, come spring.
there are adventures to be had in the rain too.
but i have so much else to do. (even my procrastination is unproductive! ha!)
but my mind is in lalaland, not intellectual space.
I want to be creative, but this scholastic pressure is pressin and i just want to frolic in the rain, drink cocoa, get high and look out my window.

my birthday begins spring break... i won't mind 22 because then i get a break.... it's almost over, i need to enjoy.

it's 2:30 am.... and i can't sleep due to anger

2008-02-13T10:50:19Z

i want to help or contribute to the preservation of this world
the life we live today wouldn't exist
if it weren't for every past generation of great minds and innovators
of course that is to say in the privileged world.... at least

but i can't feel helpless and small in this world that's run by old idiots.
so many americans- the high ones with the big salaries that they worked really hard to get the right to exploit others to make their money... maintain their power
they should be put on trial for crimes against humanity.
they are raping the planet.... it's like rape not being for the sexual pleasure of sex, but for the kind of power one feels when they have the power, the ability to get what they want- and no matter how much the other fights back, sanctions, "structural adjustment", and military presence will weaken the soul of people in the world so that we succumb to U.S. hegemony.
all empires fall
the question is when and how... we know where and why.

of course i have privilege..... how should i use it is the question.... it's everyone's our question.

i'm angry... but i don't want to be that victim, yet i am a human and i empathize with the human struggle....
i feel like these idiots are ruining the privileged life i was given.... how can i be so selfish to want it for myself.... then where am i different.... many ways i'm sure.... but still i don't know if there's a real good way to deal with my beliefs....
where's the median, where's the peaceful way? how do i find real peace? how does the world continue to exist AND get better for future generations?
That thing Yoda said about hate and fear and anger and something leading to the darkside ( i don't remember the order, but we all get the gist)... I don't want that, I don't want to hate neocons so much (but it's SOOOO HARD) that i become something sad and ugly
But their presence in our policies is apparent and affects my life, the world, and our future... and yours too.... how can you blame me if i want revenge... if i hate
HELP ME YODA! HA

can how i embrace a future that i'm told is so bleak, yet still have hope to achieve something and not destroy my soul?
i'd like to major in that concept; i'd pay $60,000 for that degree.

i don't know if i feel better. i do know one thing...
all you need is love, the love you make is equal to the love you take
and
say the word and you'll be free... the word is love.

i love a lot, but some very real things are impossible to love.... what to do with those...

blah, i need sleep.

i do it every year.... most answers the same

Dear Members of U.S. Congress,
Why should I feel like I have no freedom of speech? Why should the debate of free speech ring louder than the reason why someone chose to say what they feel?
This "ism" war needs to stop. We need to stop repeating history- fighting fascism we locked up an entire race of people many of whom were US citizens (I know you know this, but why does it seem like our government doesn't remember?!). When we fought communism we blacklisted and arrested anyone that might speak out against some "american value" then we killed our own youth, Koreans, Vietnamese, and thousands of others that we aided with weapons and training in order to serve American interests in other parts of the globe- we live on planet Earth not plant USA. Now that we're fighting terrorism we're killing our own youth again as well as thousands of Middle Eastern people- who are not all evil- why don't we recognize any of our own acts as evil? Why do we have to fit neatly into binaries of for or against? Where has the logic and rationality in government gone? (or has it ever even been there?)The money we spend on this failed "war" could have been spent to promote peace and to help Katrina efforts- this drought in California- or college scholarships, medical benefits, ANYTHING to affirm life (not as an abortion issue- which shouldn't be an issue at all even) rather than kill those who have a different ideal or those who follow blindly- EDUCATION NOT WAR PLEASE!
If we live in a democracy then I hope you listen (read)this with compassion and hope. I do not feel like a vote on a ballot is a voice- I need my voice to be heard and my beliefs/opinions/facts to be taken seriously by those who "represent" me. Please knock some sense in congress, we have to be responsible if we're going to be the superpower on the globe- that doesn't mean being imperialistic.
Thank you for your time,
Hilary Graham (please don't black list me)

additionally- why is it that when Clinton tries to get a blow job the American public tries to impeach him- where as Bush has put death sentences of many poor Americans, Iraqis, Afghanis, +++ and lies about wmds to the American public to get support for this "war" and we still let him get away with it?

When Swedes come to the U.S. I'm sure they're thinkin' "where's the good falafel places"?
White people are horrible at food.

I'm so looking forward to

sushi
mexican food
fruit juice
hummus
oatmeal cookies
peaches
salsa
cheddar cheese
beer other than Heinekin and Carlsberg + at a price I can afford!!!
+hills, people i know, diversity

I'm going to miss

downloading whatever I want risk free (from the law)
the lack of traffic
pretty and old buildings (why does the U.S. feel the need to renovate everything every 10 years?)
everything being green
the sky
tha falafel too
my orange easy street mustang cruiser
Lalea
sourdough bread

So far:

best quote: In Copenhagen, some middle eastern guy at a falafel place with rastafarian accent- "Where you guys from?" us-"California." him-"OHHH AFFFRica" us-"uh no california." him-" ohhh you know Michael Jackson macaroni macaroni Michael Jackson macaroni macaroni."

best city: Stockholm

best chocolate: belgium (thats not how you spell it is it?)-not switzerland

best castle: Fredriksborg- Hillerod, Danmark

best bar: Delirium- (2000 different kinds of beer) Brussles

people say there's a purpose in life.
but history really hasn't shown much of a purpose.
sure, we have "progressed"....
but we have moved forward with material and security things
we have the "luxiory" to commute to a job that has security so we can own that home.
while we commute to work we can listen to music and talk to someone far away
some people think they can even pick their nose... but you are not invisible inside your car.

anyways, the thing, the purpose for life, the message of all religions.... is love, compassion, being good and fair
have we progressed in these ways?
sure Swedish and Danish kings haven't fought over diamonds for 200 years,
but African nations remain at war,
they are at war because we commute,
they are at war because diamonds are a girls best friend,
because we've found valuable resource in their land, and can brush aside humanity for money ?
They war because they want their freedom- from u.s.
from the world bank, and TNCs.
Africans in bondage again under white masters. Fudalism went corporate.

Middle Eastern countries are still at war.
Refugees flood Scandinavia.
They war because we commute to our job.
They war because God wants them to.
We shout "We must fight for democracy abroad so we can have democracy at home!"
We must have democracy at home so we can have democracy abroad!

Fighting for Democracy in Iraq
Frighting against democracy in Africa.
What other atrocities are ignored by our culture?
why do we have a selective and skewed notion of "reality"
Why are we only given one version of life?
God is dead.
we haven't figured out how the world works,
after this long looking for a purpose
don't you think God would help us out a little?
All we are, and all we have been is
one religious and zealous despot after the other claiming his truth over anothers
truth he is willing to kill and die for.

everyone I know had a bad week/end
it was beautiful out
I met a monk today... he was uplifting
forgiveness seems like a horribly difficult thing to truly be able to do

in less than 2 weeks I'll be 21.
in less than 2 weeks I'll be done with this quarter.
in less than 1 month I'll be in Manhatten

last march my dog died
last march it rained for the entire month
last march I was sad and confused

I had a very productive day... two essays and interview research all done today.

I want to snuggle... it would be easier to sleep.

all i want is to ingest inspiration and crap creativity. flourescent lights don't do anything, neither do walls, they blind me from realizing possibilities and contain me in a frame. i'm fighting on both sides of reality, i can keep doing what i'm doing and let the academic financial world live my life for me, or take time to do what makes me feel good and face consequences and regret later. i find little inspiration from things learned inside walls, academic walls, institution walls, and therefore creativity is hardly possible. i want to practice my balance, i want to learn art technique, how to make the process faster and closer resemble the picture in my mind, and if i can't play guitar well then i at least want to make a ukulele sound pretty. i'm killing myself to remain alive, if we don't live forever then life's gotta be worth something to each person, everyone can value "worthy" things differently, why is it that after we're born we're told what things are worthy and what are not, and why do we listen... only because we've been threatened. I'm waiting to sail the seas but in the meantime, i'll lighten up.

i guess only for tradition

My work gave out the christmas bonus today, gift cards to my own fucking store, how fucking pointless, I steal everything I want from there anyway, I wonder if I can sell it on eBay? They used to give certificates to the grocery store next door that would give you cash back after you bought it, but now this is what we get, bullshit. I just finished a 10 hour shift, I got off at 11pm, that hasn't happened since the movie theater, but at least I'll get overtime. Just sucks cuz I have to be there again tomorrow at 1. I'm kinda tired of this, I wasted my summer working, now I'm wasting my winter break working.... Spring break, I'm gonna ask for it off, I mean I'll turn 21 during my spring break anyway fuck it. Everyone is out of town that I know, except work people and I just spent 10 hours with them and they gotta be there at 6 in the morning. There's a lot I know I need to do, but I'm forgetting right now. I may be rich, but it's lonely. My body aches. My hands are all fucked up from folding so many damn boxes, seriously so many little paper cuts and knicks, and they're dry and dirty. I'm excited for my week off though, and New Years... I won't be around, I'm so excited to get out and relax. This winter break blows so far. Well I guess I don't have much more to complain about. oh well maybe I could go on about how fucking cold my house is, but I'll save that for later, i'm sure you get the picture.

life is good
jitterbug perfume, ween ring tones, silver dollar, caish in california, lots of colors, anticipating (that can be both good and bad)

first time ever in reno, didn't know what to expect but i definitely didn't expect much. it turned out to be one of the best gigs of the summer--i think reno is my new favorite awful place. we've spent too much time sitting around the mandalay bay hotel in vegas the past 6 years and i think the experience has left us scarred. the reno hilton was a lot less family oriented and the whole thing was more fun, and sleazier in an old school way. the stage in the auditorium is the largest in the world (i think it's in the guinness book), they actually have an out of service boeing jet backstage and a basketball court, for no apparent reason. there was virtually no security present in the backstage area and they basically gave us free reign to wander around and do what we pleased. they styled us out with a gorgeous dressing room and one of the best spreads of food and drink on the whole tour. the show was a total blast, all over the place dynamically. for awhile we embraced the whole casino vibe and played some lounge music. afterwards we hit the casino floor and bars and had a good time hanging out with some fans. there was just a really good vibe about the whole show, can't really tell you why, but it was just a fun night. how many times do you get to walk offstage and sit on the stairway of a boeing jet with no security around?

word.

I wonder if President Bush and all those other BIG men make love, I wonder if they watch TV shows that aren't the "news", I wonder if they really do have secret MySpace accounts and waste their time browsing YouTube and Wikipedia, I wonder if they cry, I wonder if they notice birds, and squirles, and butterflies outside of their office windows, I wonder if they loook at the stars or if they can even see stars where they are from, I wonder if they love their children, I wonder if they know they even have children, I wonder if they even believed the truth if they would even care, I wonder if they go to bars, I wonder if they dance, do they sing, I wonder if they have an ounce of sweetness to them or an ounce of "average joe complex" to them, or do they all just suffer from short man syndrome- they don't need the big truck, they have big bombs and big checkbooks.

make love, not war

well hello, it's been a while, but i've been busy living...
Schools started again, and I'm thinking and hoping that this quarter despite it being super busy (classes + work+ radio volunteer + abroad applications) it will be inspiring, my classes and professors are awesome, i'm ready for that inspiration, working all summer definitely dulled me and i'm glad to have a shift in routine.
so notes to public and self: go to Oregon, go to Portland... it will make you realize that a city CAN work, it's a beautiful and amazingly planned out city (there's not traffic anywhere at any time, CA can you ever imagine?, and you can park within 3 blocks of your destination).....

on a lower note.... moving sucks, especially when you have to move things up and down stair cases...
my room here is sweet though

august brought yosemite and the chili peppers, september has been culturing, and i'm happy to be in love.

pictures don't seem to want to get on here yet, part ii on the way
