Change His Stars

Heath Ledger passed away today at the young age of 28. Different people are going to remember him different ways. He's always going to be William Thatcher from A Knight's Tale to me. May he rest in peace.

John McCain Update

Well, McCain lost in Michigan to Mitt Romney, but that's ok. There's still South Carolina. Here's a link to tell you more about it.

Be Back Soon

I return to school today so the posts will be slowing down. I'll still keep you updated, just not as much.

A Rundown

A lot has happened in the past few days. I found out just how uncomfortable my parents, my father in particularly, are about the prospect of me moving to Boston. It looks like I'm going to have to put the breaks on my plan. I'm not giving up moving into the city all together, in fact I'm giving up at all. Instead I came back with a counter offer of Chicago. It's in the midwest, it's closer than Boston, and it's cheaper because it's not on the East Coast. My dad didn't have a "meltdown" so that's looking like more of a possibility. I'm still going to live in Boston, and I assured my mom that I wasn't settling for something I didn't want. Although Boston in undoubtedly my favorite city do to it's history along with a few other things, Chicago has always been in the back of my mind. It's a city far enough away to where I doubt I'll know anyone, but it's close enough so if something happens my parents can get to me. It's strange how things work out, but I just can't move to a city so expensive and so far away, not with the way it makes my parents feel. I've never been that selfish. So I'm going to file the dream of living in Boston away, and it will happen when it's meant to. I know where I'm supposed to be and I'll get there one day, just not right now. So until then there's another great city, Chicago. I'm going to explore the possibilities with that.

I Need An Easy Button

I go back to school on Sunday, my long winter break will finally be over. On Monday I start my new classes, and I will call Boston because their break ends then too. I can't help but be nervous that it won't work out. I really, really want it to and I hope everyday that it's not just some hopeless pipe dream that I have. I want bigger, not necessarily better, things that I can't get where I'm at. I know where I belong and I never imagined that it would be so hard just getting there. All I want to to is move to another state, not the moon, it shouldn't be this difficult. I can honestly say that I don't want for a lot, but this, in spite of my Three Wishes post, is something I want more than anything else. I just want to live in Boston, I don't think that's a lot to ask for but evidently I'm very wrong. I'm just flat sick of imagining what it will be like to live there. I just worry all the time, even though I KNOW that's where I'm supposed to be. I wish I had a Staples easy button.

John McCain Update

Ok, I'm going to try not to get too excited but, John McCain has won the New Hampshire primary for the GOP with 37%. Also in a shocking comeback Hilary Clinton beat out Barack Obama for the Democrats. Here's a link to tell you all about it.

Three Wishes

If you were out walking in the woods one day and tripped over a lamp to find that a genie called it home, what would you wish for when it popped out and said it would grant you the three things you desire the most? Would you wish for material things? Physical perfection? True love? Or even the stereotypical "world peace"? Would you know immediately what to ask for or would you have to think about it for a few days? After you wished for it do you think you regret it? Do you think that you would anger the genie by wishing for the only wish that is off limits, more wishes? I suppose that seems like a lot of questions to answer, but in reality it's just one; if you had three wishes what would you wish for? I often mull this over in my mind. If I had the opportunity to wish for anything I wanted three times I really have no idea what I would wish for. Every time I think I do I weigh the pros and cons and think of what could go wrong. Genies are always portrayed as tricksters that take wishes literally instead of what they know you really mean. Like the episode of The X-Files that I saw where Mulder wished for, you guessed it, world peace and the Gen got rid of every human on the planet except for him because that is the only way it would be possible. The wish that I always go back to is bringing my grandma back to life. Having her back is the thing that I want the most, but I wonder what would happen if I tinkered with fate like that. I wonder if she would even want to come back to earth after being in a place like heaven. I don't know if I could be so selfish as to take her out of paradise because I miss her so much I can't stand it sometimes. There are also times where I think I'll wish to be successful, to be the best FBI agent or writer that ever existed, then I realize that defeats the purpose of living. If you already know you're going to be the best what is the point of even trying? The third and final thing that I think I'd wish for is love. The kind of love you see fictionalized and get mad at because you don't think it's real, that it's really false advertising. That's no good either. Love isn't something to wish for, it's something that happens on it's own that no one has the ability to control, except maybe Aphrodite but I don't think she's very good at it either. Love is a spontaneous emotion that just is and therefore can't be wished because then it's pointless, and you'll have to wonder your entire life, "If it wasn't for the wish would this person still love me?" I guess what I'm trying to say is that if I ever just so happened to come across a Genie (or Gen) I wouldn't wish for anything. I think that's their purpose, to teach people that they shouldn't want for anything. That life is about not knowing and having to work for what we want the most, and that sometimes the things we covet are the things we're not supposed to have. If you already know the lesson then you're going to save yourself a lot of agony. Then again, maybe I'm wrong, who knows? I guess we'll all just have to wait for someone to find themselves a Genie.

John McCain Update

He is leading the GOP polls and the only thing in his way is Obama. I'm praying harder than I've ever prayed in my life that the people in New Hampshire know true presidential material when they see it. Here is a video on the poll results as of now. I'm working hard to spread the word in my corner of the world Senator, good luck!
