She pretends
that maybe...
he thinks of her
as often
as she thinks
of him
she'd like to ask
...but...
she prefers illusion
to despair
bittersweet dreams
to reality
so she sleeps
in order to find
comfort
"Some of us prefer illusion to despair." -Nelson Muntz (the simpsons)
i went through old entries here and decided to repost this as i had nothing better to do
For some reason, train tickets are more expensive, like $100 more expensive. And at one point it said we'd be on a train for 35 hours.
So I guess we're going to fly after all, but I'm kind of bummed out about not being able to check out the trains. I never been. And I want. The scenery might be cool or something.
Does your community hand out retard sandwiches? That's the only reasoning I can come up with.
In other news,
I like how BP has gone from British Petroleum to Beyond Petroleum. I want to know how much they have vested in all this new advances in energy saving. Like, I want to know what businesses they bought out and stuff like that.
I love the Discovery Channel though. Building the Future is on and they do a lot of cool things.
My roommate's friend said the funniest thing yesterday. He claims that Norman Burlaug, the man who invented the whole genetically engineered thing, was a millionaire. First, the man set out on his mission to feed millions of people in poor countries - this was the initial aim of the Green Revolution - but he somehow places blame on this poor 80-90 year old man for the bureaucratic way our country is ran (both by the private sector and lawyers abound).
I just hate it when people try to draw a distinct line between one side and the next. NO SIDE is perfect, they all have faults. I don't know.
Looks like no matter what we do we'll be surrounded by retards, eh Dani?
Yeah, that's pretty effed up man. You hanging around 200 lb guys? They ever put any moves on you? I mean, because... 200 lb guys?
I'm joshing you. You can be 200 pounds and not be fat. I personally weigh 140 lbs and I have no idea why - well, I do, I have a lot of thigh muscle because I used to run and play soccer a lot. I ain't got an ass though :/
What an unusual conversation...
But camping is fun. Hopefully it will be nice this weekend then. The train ride takes roughly 7 hours. Give or take, and we'd be stopping in Chicago and probably one other place I think - but I hope we get to go over the Mississippi or something. Probably some great scenery... of the plains in Middle America? What's out there really? Gotta be some nice landscapes.
We might be taking a train to Vegas now to save on cash - but I really like the idea because we'd get to see some great scenery. I've been on planes before, but never on a train...
