life on mars

Is there really a way to be completely impartial to all decisions/opinions?

Blegh, don't talk to me about marriage! I already know people from high school who have made that crazy leap, even popped out 2 kids by now. Gross!

What to think about today... the strings of fate. Coincidence, free will. Just how much of what we do is dependent upon our own choices?

Conflicts of interest. I allowed my present friends, i.e., one of my lab mates, intermingle with one of my past friends, i.e., Dr. Fondles. Painting different perceptions of me, different standards to uphold.

I woke up around noon, and haven't done anything today- shower, brush teeth, get dressed. I should probably do that right about now.

Adieu. Guess it's better to stock up my fridge first before stuffing my closet with socks.

Doing it again- watching entire seasons of shows in a day. Waking up at 3 PM. Staying inside my domicile.

So out of touch with the world. Didn't know about anything going on until my flight was delayed at the airport yesterday, and I was stuck watching CNN at DFW. Something about a trial of the century with this Casey Anthony character? And then John Travolta's son dying? And an even larger bailout package?

Season 3 of Arrested Development. Finally got to watch MRF Rita, but I had always imagined her saying,"Let's have sexual relations," in the same manner that Clare had always quoted the show. I should remember that Clare's portrayal of any women will always be in that high shrilly voice.

Another mistake I made was eating some spaghetti I had left over from before I left the City. Yeah, stomach didn't take that very well.

I guess since there's not much to do now, I'll go spend some of my xmas money at the mall tomorrow? Get some new pairs of socks, I suppose.

There were ants in my trash can, ants in the bathroom, ants in the kitchen! My mom continues to haunt me across 2 time zones.

Confession: found myself responsible for spreading gossip. Although, is it gossip if you're spreading news from someone else who talked directly to the source? Doesn't gossip usually just involve talking about the person without the person knowing?

New Year's Resolutions...

Try to keep up with the ones I made last year.

Started reading 2 books while on the plane during my flight back from Texas: The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Aesop's Fables.

Aesop started becoming redundant after a while, and there were a lot of homosexual undertones even in the first 20 pages of Oscar Wilde's book. If there were less sex/feelings in that book, it would have been so much better. Good social commentary otherwise.

Some good quotes from the novel:
"...the more insincere the man is, the more purely intellectual will the idea be, as in that case it will not be colored by either his wants, his desires, or his prejudices."

"It is only the intellectually lost who ever argue."

"...the great events of the world take place in the brain."
