I just came across this incredily funny webcomic site! There's a lot of nerdy math jokes, but I think for the most part they're very straight forward:
Here's 3 random links to different comics I found funny:

http://xkcd.com/242/
http://xkcd.com/166/
I just keep pressing random, and more funny ones keep popping up! Haha, I realize its probably a pretty unique taste in humor. At least there's that for the crazies like me out there!
Enjoy :)

What do I owe you?
So, anyone who knows me knows I hate disappointing people. I'd rather sacrifice anything I'm doing to help someone I care about. But lately, that means sacrificing a lot of my happiness... and I realized there's just one question:
What do I owe people?
The real answer is nothing. I could live my life in solitude and do nothing for anyone. Simple right? Maybe for some people, but socializing is high on my pyramide of needs. Sometimes even thinking makes me lonely. So I do nice things for people I like and care about so that I get to socialize and have lots of friends. I thrive on this - I love doing nice things for people I love.
But what do I owe people I don't want to socialize with? Currently I do nice things for them anyway, even if I don't think I care about them, because 1) its easier to keep the peace and 2) I hate disappointing anyone. But man... it's starting to wear on me.
If I have the ability to help someone, is it my responsibility to do so? I'm getting tired and annoyed helping people that just don't appreciate it...
What about people I'm tied to in life, but don't want to associate myself with? Do I owe these people anything because of our ties?

Storm
I just heard this poem this morning, and it reminded me a lot of converstations I sometimes find myself in. I can't stand when people pretend to know what they're talking about! This one is a humorous debate between medicine and the natural, specifically science vs. god. I hope you enjoy! Tell me what you think!

Today is beautiful.
The sun is shining, and the birds are singing. I can hear the snow and ice melting from my window, in which I can now leave open since the weather is fit. I had a good cup of coffee this morning. I had an interesting chat about math and music, even though my friend didn't agree with my opinion.
I met some good people this past weekend. I danced, I sang, and I just layed low. Sure, lots of other great things could have happened, but I appreciated my time to melt. I'm ready now, for a productive week.
I love this sun. I hope it sticks around to keep me energized for the week.

Expectations?
I've really wanted to write on this blog for a long time, but I think I've been overcomplicating things. Everytime I go to write something, I feel like its not interesting enough. I think I'm really forgetting the main point to this blog-thing. Most times, I just need to clear my head. I guess I don't have to come up with some new idea or discuss a philosophical concept. I'm just too picky, I guess.
So this entry will not be extremely interesting.
I woke up this morning, had a coffee, did my morning puzzles, and went to class. Then I worked. Now I'm here. I was hung over because I went out last night. I went to open mic at Baba's, and sang new songs. It felt good. People complimented me, that felt good too.
I've been in a rotte these past few days, and I'd love to know how to get out. I think a lot of people are. This winter has been far too long and cold. I need a change.
I'm mad that my boss last year sold Cafe Diem to Murphy's. Very mad... but EXTREMELY disappointed. This probably means I'm out of a job, or at least need to go and get my servers course. Which wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't so damn lazy.
I'm frustrated that people keep asking me what I'm going to do next year. I don't know, cool? I hate that I won't be in school. I hate not knowing what's next. I hate that I can't even plan anything until I find out about Japan. I hate that this math degree won't do jack-all for finding a decent job if I don't go to Japan. I hate that my life is going to change significantly, and ~50% of the people I care about won't be in it. I hate that its already started to happen. But what I would hate even more is festering on this island, not experiencing other things. I'll miss the people, but I won't miss the suffocation.
I'm sad, even though things are going pretty well in my life, and I really have nothing of significance to complain about. I'm lonely, even though I'm surrounded by great people. I'm constantly irritated and annoyed by everything, for no reason.
Maybe next week will be more interesting... but this week I'm too exhausted to come up with anything else.
