I just watched The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it is such an amazing film. I have seen it before and thought it was marvelous then and it kind of seems that it is the type of movie you can only watch once but it held up very well on this second viewing.
It has inspired me. The company Lacuna that erases peoples minds has a van they use to transport all of it equipment and it has the the "c" erased from the word Lacuna so it says La una. La una means the one in spanish which seems to be what the movie is advocating. That there is one person out there for that is the right person. I think that is what I would like to believe but it seems impossible. Though what I liked about the movie is that even having their memories erased the people in love with oneanonther fell in love again.

WOW
The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?"
Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming through the earth and going back and forth in it."
Over the past few weeks I have been doing and not doing a lot of things. I felt like I was on a mission to make my life better, but then I decided to travel into a strange and horrible land of unporductivity. I litterally gambled away my life savings. Then I wrecked my car while I have no money. I procastinated on school work so much I may fail 3 classes. It has been a scarey journey, though in super slow motion. The whole time I felt like I could get it back under control I would just wait a little bit longer to do it.
I feel like I made a turn around this morning. I prayed. I evaluted the situation in order to figure out how to make it right. I studied. I have worked out. I am hoping these new events will recure often over a long time.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the American Dream (Part 1)
Oh America, you nation of dreams. I have been affected by the nation’s economic crisis for quite some time now. I have been unemployed for nearly a year now, and my last job was in wholesale sales so really early we were hit by the economic apocalypse that world is facing right now.
For months my only solace during the bitter economics times was that the news kept saying it is not my fault but I was participating in the nations suffering. It felt as if I was doing my duty as an economic citizen. Me being unemployed wasn't my fualt and I was enduring the economic hardship so the economy could get better.
Then in February the times began too seem too troubling. I was suffering and so were the mass of my friends. One of my buddies worked three hours a week just so he could have a job, other friends lousing jobs completely. Everywhere people were being evicted or nearly evicted from their homes. Myself, I was only able to rely on the all power God and his manna of unemployment checks. Everywhere there was a since of woe. It felt like those that had jobs began to have contempt for those that did not, similar to that felt by a man with a brain does for zombies.
While logically a person could think that the zombie is a victim of circumstance and someone could feel bad for the zombie; all a person can think about is how they don’t want it to happen to them. Plus the employed feel like those who don’t have jobs are living of those who do.
So it is within this apocalyptic world that I a zombie began to despair for my fellow man: seeing the economic time as bleak, thinking that the American dream has come to an end, wanting to flee to a nation with a cure.

Year End Review - Gave Hope and a Brand New Day
I am on the in Charles' room getting ready for tonights party, eating dinner and rocking out to Andrew WK , thinking about the craziness of this last year.
A mere 12 months ago I was in the same room but hundreds of miles away from Charles.The last year has been amazing, it has been a great journey. I have delved into nothingness. I have have been showered with torrential pain and bathed in the resulting puddles of joy. Conflict and loneliness have refined my friendships. My eyes have been forced open by tears to the true world. My minds eye has been forced open by visions thoughts to beautiful to pass by.
Now and tonight the worlds finest are once again going to go out on the town.
As the the Ting Tings come on I look forward to all that will happen in 2009.
What went down from this fooling around.
Gave hope and a brand new day.

Imagine all the girls,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.
