Writer's Strike: Tough Break

I can't believe I just stumbled upon a show I like, even though I used to rip on it 24/7. Damn.. treated. Good accident. But time for some deep thoughts..




It's been minutes, hours, days, weeks, months..
After all, time seems to fly by fast these days.
I reminisce and it's picture perfect.
Waking up in the morning,
Enjoying a good breakfast with you.
Kicking back with fun and games,
Bursting in laughter.
Looking at you and being reminded,
How slow time can really be sometimes.
What's to say about all of those messages?
Some were good; some were bad.
Overall, there were many memories.
Having to part takes its toll.
There's a crack.
Something seems to be missing.
When times are hard,
the rules can be bent.









But it's time to move on to the next one..







Goodbye,






my two year old phone! It's been good times.










I can't wait to get my next one. First smartphone and finally getting to see first hand what it's like to have one. I don't think it's going to be anything special, but I can't wait to finally see through messages. Next up, finding a new iPod.







It could happen

Post-Production

I've been meaning to update this right after my birthday, but I encountered days of hangovers and days of sickness. Finally after 6 days, I've recovered at last!



It's pretty much October with election season in full swing. I just hope people vote based on important issues. The past 20 years, since the Reagan administration, we've encountered many faux-issues like gun control, abortion, and stem cell research. To add in other issues like medical marijuana and gay rights, it's just going back and forth with nothing really ever getting done. For once, can we focus on issues that really matter? Most Americans believe we're still in a recession, even though the recession was claimed to be over last year. What's with this country?!



To end the discussion, let's look back on what the original Founders thought. These white slave owners intended to free the country from the "tyranny" of King George III. All they wanted to do was drink some tea!



I don't think most tea party people even know what or who they're supporting, but they should really look into it.



In other news, the Bears are 3-0 to start the 2010 season. Our terrible offensive linemen are holding up just long enough so Forte can cut through holes and Cutler can throw quick passes. But after watching the Packers game, I was impressed with the improvement they made after week 1 with our mighty first round pick Chris Williams. Oh wait, I guess not. We have a good chance to go 9-7, even 10-6 is possible. But let's wait and see.



The Cubs keep on winning! Mike Quade isn't a bad choice at all. I hope it comes down to him and Sandberg for manager next year. Inching closer to that World Series. Now, about those players...



D-Rose! This year is going to be exciting. Can't wait.

The song below "You Always Make Me Smile" by Kyle Andrews is pretty catchy. I saw it on a Holiday Inn commercial. It reminds me of something from somewhere but can't remember. Oh well, enjoy!



Being surrounded by cornfields for years finally got to me. I want to travel and explore! No more cornfields! No more cornfields!











The future awaits!

Pre-Production

I'm in the midst of possible my hardest non-finals week of college. The irony is that I never had an easier schedule. The concepts are easier to grasp after learning the basic fundamental ideas of physics and chemistry COMBINED as well as being a cultured American. For every good day in life, there comes a bad day. Working endless hours on a lab report only to fumble and lose the flash with all its hard work has made every fun day of college seem like a waste. As my life sits in a ditch, I take joy in the little things to distract myself from the big things.

Music. The aspect about human beings is the harmony, melody, and grace that comes from our culture. From the caveman's clanging of tools to Mozart's symphonies, music has inspired generations. Listening to music has been the drug of choice for the past hour (or few long nights).

Movies. Where would we be without the invention of the light bulb? I admire Edison's knack for being a giant asshole because he pioneered the way for movies to exist decades later. Movies today come in all sorts. Good. Bad. Terrible. Hell.

(Insert picture of any free movie on On Demand.)

Blogging was a pastime I enjoyed while being bored at work or home. I've been living life to the fullest. Doing work ahead of time and spending the rest of the day hanging out with friends. Living in the now while balancing the future. But I lost sight of what really matters - the future. Everything that exists is an investment. It's just a matter of putting time and effort into it. College is one expensive investment. Time to make the most of what I have left.

After this week, I promise to return with better updates about food, movies, sports, music, and politics. On a side note, what are the odds of getting pierced by a broken bat? Next year's Cubbies look promising. Under Quade, we've been above .500! So what's that say about Lou?

Has it really been 21 years? Nope. About to be 22 in several hours. I am not looking forward to it. The same old routine, year after year, has lost its meaning. It only marks the years that have past and not the experiences gained. Is that what growing up is about? I miss the days where I could wind down with an episode of The Rugrats and play with my Transformer toys. Eating ice cream on a hot summer day after playing with Nerf guns and running in circles. Pogs, Pokemon, and Warheads were the "in". Girls had cooties. I could have been a doctor, a lawyer, a fireman, or even a superhero. Stepping a foot of snow and being sucked up to my hip in white fluff. Eating strawberry cake and wearing conical hats with my family. Fearlessly roaming the streets of Chicago on foot. Being amazed by the simplest things.

I miss it all.

One year later, my regrets have not changed. Why do I keep doing chemistry?!?!?! Time to go back to studying.
