if you know me. you know this is a very stupid question. especially since i told you that nothing matters to me if you have an aj mclean voice.


i get to be random again because this survey is lame.
aj mclean's voice is probably as hot as "rouge coquet". or vice versa.

haha im gonna think about that a while

air (feel good)

May 14, 2006?

Yeah... I think that's the date

Dear Johnny,

Hmm, today my mom opened my window.
Wow. It feels so good. Wow... the power of fresh air. No, I'm not kidding. It does make me feel that good.

In all honesty, I think that a lot of how I am so enjoying this fresh air, softly billowing into my room right now, has a lot to do with how I'm in my room. Sure, I appreciate and enjoy the great outdoors, all in its natural splendor, boundless grounds and plentiful fresh air. But that's the thing... it's "the great outdoors," where everything is so abundant and available that its easy to forget every smaller figment of what is there; like, air.

So now, that I sit here, in my room surrounded by all the wonders of 21st century electronica and other wonders of the ever-flourishing concrete jungle, when that strong-but-still-ethereal gentleness of that wind, in all its purity and humility, drifts in . . . that's when I've finally noticed it. That's when I finally feel air and see, that it really is something to think about.


Thank God for windows.


Thanks for listening

the view from my bed

im going to make this much more brief than i expected because it is 2 am in the morning. =)


on saturday morning i woke up, and, the way i sleep, my feet face my closet doors, which are mirrors, which reflect the back wall of my room which have a nice window on it/in it what have you. so i wake up and lift my head and i realize that my window is really pretty. and the whole ambience of being somewhere nice and comfortable and full of light, every day, when i wake up. (my room really is full of light every morning because its in the direction the sun comes up, which is really nice. especially on weekends when i actually get to be in bed when it starts flooding my room with warm yellow light! ugh its so nice. someone should come here and enjoy it with me. except i have a twin size bed. and a knack for the single life. hahaha. ok im ramblinggg). and then i thought about how, all that is going from me in two months or less. im not exactly sad, but, shrug. im going to miss my room. and my bed, and the nice reflection of the wall on my mirror doors. and a whole lot of other stuff but as i said, its 2 am. and plus ive talked about this stuff before in my other blogs that i wrote when iw as actually awake.

so in that mood, (we're back to saturday morning), i decided to just take a bunch of pictures so i can maybe blow them up into wallpaper size posters to cover my dorm walls with. hahaha. joke.

anyway

here are a bunch (like really, a bunch) of pretty random pictures i took of my room while i was lying down in my bed. yup. these are all the view through the lcd screen from my bed.

yeah. i used the lcd screen not the eyehole thing. sorry i cant think of what its called at the moment. and for that reason a lot of my pictures probably suffer from the dreaded parallax effect. but oh well.


ok

samiah's room in the morning.
