a quart of randomness

jimbo wrote another beautiful entry. i wonder what's going on in the mind of such a genius. to be honest, i think at least every 2 out of 3 entries that he writes leave me speechless.

currently reading RAMANA MAHARSHI AND THE PATH TO SELF-KNOWLEDGE. no no. not for fun. hell no. it's for that philosophy class that will end 2 weeks from now. quite interesting, but too much to read. so i started reading one piece again, the early chapters. i got up to volume 4 and i realized that the drawing style oda started out with was so different from the one he uses now. compare chapter 28 with chapter 330. details, shades, sfx, wrinkles on the shirt, everything is much more detail in the new chapters. i think the changes start after the arlong arc. drum arc was quite detail but not as much as it is now. either way, oda proves that he's getting better. what a crazy mofo.

had quite a nice conversation last night with irene, something i haven't had in a while. a long while. my friends have been wondering how the hell i can put up with such a relationship. we've been together for over 2 months, but we haven't seen each other in 2 years. if all goes well i'll get to see her in february, but if not, god knows when i'm gonna ever see her. to be honest, i have no idea how the hell i can put up with it either. i think i'd be lying if i said not being able to talk to her because of various stupid reasons is not tormenting. sometimes when i call her she's either out with her friends, out with her parents, asleep, or doing some other things. it's probably a lot easier to get a hold of the president. i'm quite uncertain right now about how i will be able to get through this, but i know for sure that i want this relationship to work, so i guess if the torment is one-sided then i'll just have to come up with something.

be stoic like aeneas. heh. i've come to realize that reading books actually teaches you something new. ha ha.
