rain means something to me

the rain... has been falling for at least a day and at least eight hours from when i woke up this morning. so i woke today at 6 and i got ready with a shower and dressed and i went to st callistus catholic church. i went to the funeral of my friend. whilst i was extremely close to her i did know her and consider her a friend. there is no doubt in my mind all attendees cared for her because some maniacs had the audacity to say that several young attendees came merely to miss school. no one in their right mind is going to leave school to stand two hours in the freezing cold rain, they went to say goodbye to their dear friend. i just had to make a point, its absurd what some jerks will say to make themselves feel better no? anyways it was unique for me, ive never witnessed mass aside from tv from notre dame college and then we went to wesmtinster, it was very cold i will spare the details as it was an intimate experience for me and all attendees, somehting i feel i shouldnt be explicitly publicizing. it rained all day from about 11 last night all straight thru 3pm the coming day, that is so extremely long almost... 15 hours, thats amazing! i love the rain, i feel like its a wonderful process and... id wish itd happen more often. people get sick from the rain more than sun though i guess, at least in less modern communities. i came home and napped till about 7 , i missed family guy and the simpsons *sad* so in math today joanna said to me, to add paragraphs to my blog, i know i write alot and have horrible grammatical errors when writing this but ... well i think paragraphs take away from the uniqueness of my blog right? i need to go to lacoste or ax soon which is funny cos i lost my lacoste card and i found it, it scared the crap outta me! i just watched a film on chimps used by the government on tv which really downed my mood... ugh damn us gov, why do you have so many flaws and yet at the same time be slightly amazing?!?!? thats probably the most patriotic thing ive said in forever, in reality i love you america and yet i hate you, lets make a romance film? :] ive really been wanting to vlog which my interest was resparked by a friend of mine. i hope it rains tomorrow, it will make me happy but ... if no one wants it then i take that back, all in all this is a rather short entry as compared to others but thanks for reading fellas and gals
OH! WAITTT! i have a story from temple! we were talking about why music was necessary for buddhism cos it seemed kinda materialistic, but our teacher nun said... that buddhist music is like eyebrows on a face, without the music doing normal buddhist worship seems a little off just like how weird a face looks without eyebrows, geez i love ven. hsing peng, yea now im done

love you and dance in the rain :0

twenty

uhm so its been twenty hours since my last post and wow, doesnt twenty hours sound so short? but in reality thats like twenty eps of houses or almost an amazing season of project runway or top chef *PADMAS SO HOT* so i woke after my hard sleep, hard as im i was so out i couldve passed the county coroner. so today i got asked to go to the la americna apparel holiday sale, i did but frankly i went last year and it was a load of ... work. cos i came and i stood in line for almost 5 hours, got a sunburn on my never before sunburned face and got a cpl good things but nothing that fits like a retailed item *yes i am all about quality over quantity* so you may ask or may not ask why im writing one for saturday again , its becaus elast night wasnt really saturday but friday pulled over. so im writing this so as to not be lagged in future entries. so today saturday cartoons eat whatever till about four. then i remeber the dining hall in my temple and the writing on the wall said "the five contemplations before eating". which really interested me, as you may or not know im a buddhist and ergo id like to learn more. so yesterday was my bestfriends birthday party and everoyne said grace and god stuff and i wa slike ... for one ew and for two i feel left out. how wrong of me to improperly represent my sangha right? so i was reading about the five contemplations before eating i found out how to pray befor ei eat! :D which made me happy but also i hope people dont think im weird, ahah ill only doit at dinners or something cos i feel... like i want to represent my religion whilst other people are asking mary or god thanks for their meal. i will thank the universe for making mine and pray for the hungry and suffering that they too will have enough to eat. not a bad idea right? it strikes me this makes me sound religiosly intolerant slightly but honestly, comon im extremely liberal you guys. so the way my contemplation goes is : contemplation one, i will count there merit in this food and praise the source of it. contemplation two, i will assess my virtues and see if i am perfect or deficient enough to recive the honor of eating me food. contemplation three, this food is to help me fight against my faults, namely the beast known as greed. contemplation three, i recive that food only to accomplish spiritual perfection. and lastly , i recive this food as and only as medicine for my weakening body. then i say the nianfo three times and im done!. it was huge for me cos it was firs ttime i learned it. i know some of you guys must be rolling your eyes and think im crazed out. so tomorrow is sallys surprise birthday isnt that great? yea im excited and i hope itll be fun. i am also going to a viewing of a passed friend and i hope she is resting in the pure land. on a brighter note, it is almost break and i am extremely excited, i notice my entries seem to be two to three times longer than most, good for me! i was also listening to man li today which i love that song! i aimed someone i like but they didnt answer which made me worry but my firned reassured me that they were gone. what a calming thing to hear. thanks friend *wink* im so ready for tomorrow, im also nervous but luck to me yea? love you guys and sleep early! i feel like kinda good but then bad too, oh well im sure more good than bad, OH! and i ate sweet potatoes and banans around dinnertime :]

Then we hung out in sallys room and tiffany tuahg tme how to dance and i forced her to wear a fake hijab but she showed me a pic of her in one and i couldnt stop lauihging cos she looked so freakin cute. and i didnt doit to make fun of muslims cos i love muslims ppl *thats you nida* my tolerance will disturnb you. Aftrer that we went early and all this nice stuff and i met a girl named bk she was sweet and a girl name dsarah which was bubbly and gorgeous :] and we went early and got great places to stand in i got to sit on a wall for 3 hrs! *not really excitement* and we listened to ... poet vs poet, the morning of, danger radio and my american heart. everyone was fantastic and played extremely weel i loved it thnx bands. however the morning of deserves a secondary merit :] i saw the morning after and they wer enice especially a nice player that dressed great and looked indiany which also created some other feelings, but i went home ang looked him up and found out that like... hes muslim* btw im totally tolerant and love muslims like crazy *thats yuyou nida* and had a gf whicyh cuased emotion and was shocking the only reason why i assumed he was indian was because after he played hard and long he went over to this sweet looking indian woman in indian "attire" and hugged her i assume it was his momsy, and like she was sitting behind me the whole time during the concer ttoo and i was liek WHAA?!?!? why are you here?!?!? cos shes a nice sweet indian lady listeninging to rock music? doesnt fit eh? but yea gorgeous guy. after that we got all these nice sigs and sally met andrew from danger radio and i met lotsa nice people and we went home and marians mom picked us up and like her dad drove and i said driections kinda weird and he veered on and off the road and like i prolly made him look like a drunk driver form abnother cars view after that i went home and like... heard a loud ringing in my ear due to the loud music im sure things will be fine, aside form that that was mainly my day! and i did ssome fun things at school, ill put anything i missed in tomorrows entry AND! once i came home and started talking i found out the person i had my eye on got taken...ugh poop. what will i do now to entertain myself?hopefully that person will turn over :] all in all that was my day im deaf in my right ear or like it it wont stop ringing *hopefully it will open back up tomorrow* i got great pics vids of the concert poster shirt cd and a sticker! which makes me happy :] tomorrow i will rest and relax and sulk slightly resulting in me most likely making sweets. so goodnight my readers
