Stretch Yourself More

What Eliza said is ringing to me over and over again. It is an advice that her financial counselor of sorts had given her when Eliza and Ian were trying to buy a house. I can only imagine the weight of the committment.

I admire them, because they seem to be moving forward, just fine. They are facing their tough challenges in life, and truking forward, so good for them.

I've been thinking a lot, lately about when I used to be a teenager. High school was an isolating and lonely existance. My best friend, My Linh and I would talk a lot on the phone, much like right now. My mother prohibited me from going out at night, and even to go see movies or goto the mall, or even to have a job. It really was a grim existance. Just me and my homework. It's not like it was bad. It's not like I knew anything else, any other way of being.

That's why college was a lot of fun. Doing everything that I wouldn't have done before. Stretcing beyond my elements. After college was definately my funnest time.

Right now, it's not the funnest time of my life.

Just go forward.

Man, last night's show was shocking.... Shockingly bad. I'm sorry Sila, but you were cute 3 years ago, and you're just a bit sad now. His songs were sad. I never thought Afro beat could be depressing.

It was a site of a man who was too tired. Who couldn't put in any more effort. When the will is lost, it seems like that's what happens. I wish I could just slap him into cognition, it seemed like he wanted help. So endearing.

One good thing about the show was this guy who was dancing in the front. A man who can dance is a good site. The moves that he had were really inspiring. He was definately a drummer. His body moved with every beat instead of swaying with the rhythm. It's really too bad that he's into waspy girls. Seeing him, makes me wish I was a man. I bet I can do what he can, with a lot of fun.

But oh well... I guess I'm a woman. A thick woman.
