Life is fragile. If you were to die today, would you be satisfied? I mean, would you be comfortable with death knowing that you've done everything you've wanted to do? Said everything you've wanted to say? For the most part, I'd say yes. I try to live my life in such a way that would yield no regrets. There are obviously things that I wish I could change or fix, but am powerless to do so, so what's the use in fretting, right?

Seize the day! Carpe Diem!

I think that if you love somebody, you should tell them. Almost a year ago now, I told her how I felt. It obviously hasn't worked out, but I don't regret stepping up to the plate. I knew the consequences of my actions if she didn't feel the same way, and I was prepared for that. Although it stings, I can respect myself knowing I've done everything I could do.

For all you guys (because I think guys should initiate on this): Tell her. Even if you have to write it down and read it aloud to her through a trembling voice, tell her. Even if she doesn't feel the same way, sucks to be her. You had all this love to give, and she threw it away. Save your heart for somebody better. If she was really that amazing, then she would have at least given you a chance. And if she does accept...
Wow. That's all I have to say.

Call me crazy, call me an idealist, call me a romantic. I don't know when or where, but I still believe that someday I'll meet a lady who will like me for my strengths, and love me for my weaknesses.

One day...

I'm gonna read aloud familiar words
And listen for the truth that I never have heard
I'm gonna open up to possibilities
I won't be afraid of where they are leading me...

It's not just the end
Or where we begin
It is in the in betweens
Slowing down
Learning how
To find the life in moments like these

I saw the Academy Awards tonight. The awards given I'd say were pretty much as expected. I especially enjoyed Lily Tomlin's and Meryl Streep's award giveaway act/speech thing. Quite entertaining. Crash won best picture for its social commentary on racial discrimination. This event has inspired me to revive my old comic that I had started years ago. It first started as a joke, but deep down I realize the need for this comic in this day and age with its need for tolerance. I first submitted it to the Toban, a student-run newspaper at my school. They subsequently rejected it and I heard nothing from them even with the countless emails I sent inquiring about the status of my submission. I eventually gave up. I wasn't really hurt at all, but it amused me very much since the Toban loves to run with controversial articles. What's more, they pride themselves on free speech and giving the students at our school a voice. Part of the reason why I started the comic was because all the comics they published sucked monkey balls. And they had the balls (pun intended) to nix my comic? C'est la vie I suppose.

Anyway, I've started drawing again, and as you can see, I'm quite talented when it comes to drawing. In the words of Ferris Bueller, I "never had one lesson." I don't know why I never thought of this before. I'll be posting a new comic hopefully once a week or bi-weekly or monthly or bi-monthly or semi-annually...
