Oh My Freaking Hell! I am having the best day that I've had in a fuckin LONG time. Such excitement prompted me to frantically blog asap. I must warn my readers, for there are some intense moments of nerdiness that exist in the next paragraph. You've been warned.
Firstly, there was an earthquake. A magnitude 4.3 to be exact, at around 10.40 this morning. Being the second earthquake that I've actually felt in my lifetime, and the very first Ive felt since deciding to become a Geologist, I 'fell' out of bed. And by that, i mean i rushed to my computer and began casting 'Lvl 12 Rapid Turbo Push' on my F5 key when i logged onto the United States Geological Survey website, eager to get the results of the quake. It was at this moment that a figurative and literal lightbulb went off in my life. My roommate turned on the hallway light, not only blinind me when i walked out, but also allowing me to 'see the light' about the future that i want for myself. I'm going to be a Seismologist. And no, i wont define it. That's what Google is for, however, its not a terribly complex definition. Therefore, load your IE or Firefox and look it up if you feel so inclined. On another note, if you've been paying even a slight amount of attention to this paragraph, you'll realize exactly what it is.
Next, I went to Philosophy class, with is quite humorously taught by Jesus. Unfortunately, its pronounced 'hey-sus', but its funner to say 'Jee-zus' teaches my Philosophy class. If he was aware of this, he might be really funny and offer snack in class, like Jeez-its or something. [That one's for my Dane Cook/Hoover people] He handed back our Midterms [High B, sha-wing!] and our Philosophological Comparison papers, which contained nothing but comments regarding my 'brilliant and descriptive writing'. And apparently I 'supplied excellent concrete details and a positive, well-reinforced counter argument'. I guess he liked it or something, cause i think my score looks very similar to a 97%.
And then I went to Geology/Paleontology. Learned about all kinds of brachiopods, including the six types of Articulate species... oh i wont bore you with them. Be advised, however, they were fascinating, and unique with terrible complex names that sound like someone sneezing in Latin. [Yeah, thats pretty much covers it]
And with no class tomorrow, I'm gonna play Resident Evil 5 [Xbox360] and Pokemon Platinum [Nintendo DS] till i pass out. PEACE!

Zombies, Games and Vampire Weekend
So I've realized that Ive had a weekend that was kinda, pretty much the most incredible weekend I've had in a long time. It was comprised of: friends, the epic madness of killing zombies in video games with friends, zombies, friends dressed as zombies, considerable amounts of fake blood and fantastically shoddy acting, fake British accents, overcrowded car trips to Dennys and mediocre Grand Slamwhiches at said Dennys, as well as a small handful of scattered 'F' words and copious amounts of over exaggerated, dramatic situations that would otherwise be considered mundane and typical.
The days before break were filled with mini-papers and midterms. Thats all I'll say about that.
As far as the actual break goes, its almost over, but its been nice and relaxing. I plan to head back to SJSU tomorrow, Wednesday, because there are several things that i must give my attention to. As for tonight, I plan to massacre the living hell out of zombies in Resident Evil 5 [[ exbawks 360, I'm no Sony fanboy ]] and watch Shaun of the Dead with the 'rents tonight. Because other than the amazing, life changing short film that i took part in, my parents know nothing of SotD. And this ghastly circumstance must be ratified on a big screen tv later tonight after dinner.
Other than that, things are good in life. I recently got around to downloading more Vampire Weekend. Good music there, its upbeat lyrics and catchy tunes are enough to keep me listening, aside from the great band name. You should check them out.

Clearly, I'm a melting pot of random thoughts.
Life is a curious thing.
On an unrelated note, today is Tuesday, the day before Wednesday which coincidentally just happens to be the day before the Resident Evil 5 Zombie March/Midnight Launch. So I’m excited about that. Other Zombie festivities are taking place on campus, such as the incredible remake of Shaun of the Dead and they also have me pretty stoked.
As far as school and the world of academia, things are fine. I feel like I have most of my stuff organized and all that jazz. So what if I don’t go to ever single class meeting. Isn’t the final grade/end result the only thing we all care about anyways? Sigh, I’m trying, what do you want from me?
I still feel as if there’s something missing, and I can’t even clearly type them now, so don’t ask me to explain. It’s like an untouchable, invisible ‘something’ and I can’t quite pinpoint it. But I feel as if it’s something that which I desire more than anything, something that I desperately need to have yet it is always out of my reach.
Perhaps I’m simply restless, and bored of waiting for the next big thing to happen in my life. Or perhaps my zombie fascination has allowed my mind to subconsciously wish for a post-apocalyptic lifestyle. Whatever it may be, it haunts me. And there is nothing that confuses and frustrates me more than an unknown, yet very present item that is always out of my reach and accompanied by the lack of means to get it. I don’t know…. I feel happy now, I guess. Or maybe I’m not happy at all. Regardless of my status, that ‘item’ still eludes me. I unrealistically wish that I had more control over my life or more specifically, time, so I could possibly obtain this mystery item. Maybe just fast forward a year or two and take a peek into what my life holds for me in the future. That would be nice, because the simple fact of not knowing what is coming next is enough to drive me insane.
So I’ll keep the keep the melodic trance and the hardcore gaming going till I can find that which I require to be satisfied and whole. And as far as discussions regarding said mystery item... dont expect anything other than vague messages and ramblings. You dont know any more about the future than me. If you did, then we could talk.
