Let's find a motto you'll like for the rest of your life.

This weekend, KarWai helped me make my decision to buy an 8gb RED ipod nano.

This should be easy enough right?

Nope!

Turns out, if you purchase your ipod online, they allow you a free two line engraving. At first I thought, great! I get to write something on my ipod for free! I have a million song lyrics I love to engrave on there.

Problem? I have a million song lyrics I love to engrave on there!

I needed to find something:
1. Not by a lame artist whose words I will be ashamed to have engraved on my ipod.
2. Related to music since it is my ipod.
3. A song I will continue to like in the years to come.

After much brainstorming and consulting with (not really very helpful) friends, I've decided on the following engraving:

'well all i got's: oo-oo-ooh'
[ jasy's ipod ]

Before you tell me how that makes no sense, let me explain!

The quote is taken from John Mayer's song Clarity. The song talks about living in the moment, being worried about over analyzing things, and at the end of the day only being able to really think of music-- all which are pretty relevant to me. Artist I like, song I like. Check. Check.

Basically it's saying "all I can think of is music". Which is true! I thought about it for so long but all I got was this song or that song. Plus, I always have a song in my head. Which is related to music and hence the ipod.

Now all there is to do is shell out the $200 bucks and be ipod-less no longer.

change my heart oh God:
make it ever true.

change my heart oh God:
may I be like you.

you are the potter
I am the clay--

mold me and make me; this is what I pray.

Invisibility cloak.... or not.

This seriously happened. No tall tales, no exaggerations.

So I'm watching the Wine Kone on youtube and reach a funny part, so I run to the next room to tell my sister to come watch it.

My parents' room is down a short hallway so that our doors kind of face each other, but aren't directly in front of each other.

For some reason I turn around briefly, and out of the corner of my eye see something in the open crack of their door. So I do a double take and there's my mother with one eye pressed against the edges of the tiny opening of the doorway.

I stare. And she does nothing.

So I burst out laughing and I'm like "WHAT are you doing???!"

"Jong gun lay loh." (Spying on you.)

10 minutes doubled over in laughter later, I tell this story.

Stoic

Take time to realize that I am on your side-- didn't I, didn't I tell you?

No I can't spell it out for you.
No it's never going to be that simple.
No I can't spell it out for you.

This Year's Starting Trends : Part 1

Games.

So generally, I don't really enjoy games.
I'm just not a very competitive person and I end up feeling tension whether I win or lose.

There's enough tension in life as it is-- why add to it by playing dorky games when there are about a million other things to do to better entertain myself?

Unfortunately, 2008 is continuing 2007's track record of seeking out every opportunity to spite me:

I have not only been playing games (finding 3 I actually enjoy), but I have also actually purchased two for myself!

I am officially a happy loser addicted to Apples to Apples, Whoonu, and Hoopla (although I didn't purchase this last one).

Hey, at least I'm becoming more... open-minded? *shrug*

Hello 2008

blog at least once a week
clean and redecorate my room before march
attend church on sundays
reaquaint myself with my sketchbook and paints
start an online comic

The list isn't finished yet.

So, it's 2008 and my cow is safely back with me. That's a good start at least.

Seriously. 2008 had better kick 2007's butt.

But it's my heart thats breaking down this long distance line tonight.

(My first "I can't get enough of it" song of '08 is Missing You by Tyler Hilton -- the video is Tyler Hilton with Taylor Swift but the original is really good too.)



And I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone... away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say

There's a message in the wires
And I'm sending you a signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight

But it's my heart that's breaking, down this long dusty road of mine

And I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone... away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say

And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
If I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartache overload
