“If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity.” -Bill Vaughn

"Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they don't like him." -Marlene Dietrich
Dang I'm geting worse and worse at this. Alright triple post time for days 6-8.
Day 6 Talk about a recent experience that has effected you greatly and how.
A recent experience that affected my greatly is actually a personal one so I'm not gonna say what it is however rest assured I'll try not to do anymore weak posts like this one will be.
Day 7 Think of the last person you hugged. What would you do if they vanished completely?
The last person I hugged would actually be David Lin since I ran into him and Caitlin at the mall. I would actually be pretty devastated if he disappeared just because he's a great role model to look up to who is around my age...ish. I really respect him and it'd be a shame to not have a person like that to look up to.
Day 8 Write about the first moment that comes to your head when you read the words “childhood memory”
There was a similar post to this question before so you can just look at that =)

"Music is what feelings sound like."
Day 5 Pick a song that projects the same mood as your day or week and explain.
Hmm, I'd have to say Price Tag ft. B.o.B. by Jessie J just because I love the message of the song and I've been listening to it almost nonstop this week. Two lines in particular in the song I love. First one is Jessie J singing "Can we all slow down and enjoy right now/ Guarantee we'll be feelin/ All right" and B.o.B.'s line going "We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice every night" Such a great song, I definitely recommend taking a listen to it.

"Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness." -Yousuf Karsh
Well since yesterday I didn't quite get to a post since I was at the DEM holiday party, I'm just gonna do a double post since it is my birthday. Yay!
3. Where have you been spending your time lately? Three/Five/Ten years ago would you have expected to be there?
Well that depends when really. During school I spend all my time either in class or in the Baltimore Room in Stamp. At home, I'm either in my room doing work or relaxing by doing something I enjoy like taking pictures, reading a book for fun, or taking a leisurely drive. Three/Five/Ten years ago I definitely would not have expected myself to be there. I wouldn't have expected to get interested in photography and going out to DC or parks to take pictures. It's a pleasant surprise though.
4. What do you think it means to be in love?
Meh I feel like I've talked about love too much on here so I'm making the decision to just skip this one =)

"He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened." -Lao Tzu
Day 2 Who are you in comparison to who you used to be. What made you change?
I am me. I am always changing even when I'm sitting around doing nothing or when I'm doing something like this. One of the major changes I'd say would be my priorities in life. Instead of just focusing on my current needs or desires, I look ahead to the future. I focusing on bettering myself as a person and individual not for others, but for myself. Why? Because I enjoy it.

"What we think, we become." -Buddha
So it's winter break. What better to do than another 30 day challenge, but this time I will try harder to actually do one post everyday and not fall behind. Not hard considering it's break and I'm bored to death 99.99% of the time, right? Well you'd be wrong, but here goes nothing.
The list.
1. What happened today? If it was the last day of your life, how satisfied would you be with your final hours?
2. Who are you? In comparison to who you used to be. What made you change?
3. Where have you been spending your time lately? Three/Five/Ten years ago would you have expected to be there?
4. What do you think it means to be in love?
5. Pick a song that projects the same mood as your day or week and explain.
6. Talk about a recent experience that has effected you greatly and how.
7. Think of the last person you hugged. What would you do if they vanished completely?
8. Write about the first moment that comes to your head when you read the words “childhood memory”
9. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
10. Did you have a good day or a bad day? Where do you think that defining line was?
11. Do you feel protective over someone?
12. If you could trade places with anyone for one week, who would it be and why?
13. Where do you see your best friend in 10 years?
14. When you are stressed, what can you use as an outlet? Why do you think it helps you?
15. What do you believe in? And not just God or atheism.
16. What are you passionate about?
17. Who was the last person you kissed? (If you are still with them now, pick the person before them.) What would they say if they saw you now?
18. Talk about your extended family. Why do you think they are the way they are?
19. If you could be anywhere in the world, but you had to be there for a certain cause, where would you be and why?
20. Again, pick a song that projects the mood of your week or day.
21. Look back. Why did you choose this challenge? Do you think it says anything about you?
22. How do you think people see you? Be a little negative and a little positive.
23. Explain your life plan for the next month, then the next year, then three years, then five years.
24. Are you more social or independent? Why do you think that is?
25. What do you think it means to be a good parent?
26. Talk about a moment where you were truly happy. What was happening? Who were you with?
27. Is there a friend you are worried about? Why do they have you concerned? Do you think they’ll be okay?
28. Would you rather someone tell you the truth up front but gently, or be lied to to spare your feelings?
29. If you could be doing the same things you do now, only in your own way, how would a normal day in your life go?
30. Look back on this last month and talk about it.
Day 1 What happened today? If it was the last day of your life, how satisfied would you be with your final hours?

It's so empty living behind these castle walls
Tuesday, December 14, 2010

1:52 PM
Instead of a quote I leave you with an entire song, which also is where I got the title of this entry from. Castle wallsby T.I. ft. Christina Aguilera. Such a great song plus Christina Aguilera sounds great singing on the track. I really like these hip hop ballads type songs.
I've noticed that some of the things that have really made an impact in my life are from unexpected or sometimes miniscule sources. Now I'm not a very religious person at all and for the most part those people who walk around trying to force their idea of religion onto me annoy me and make me not want to listen to what they have to say. However, this one guy, while still annoying because he wouldn't leave me alone, actually has come up to me twice this semester while I was waiting around in Stamp. He came up to me to talk to me about God and everything. I humored him because I was waiting anyway and I would've felt bad about just telling him I don't really care. Anyways, so he started asking me about my current religious practices and whatnot and then proceeded to tell me about why I should follow God. That's not what stuck with me though, what stuck with me is when he said, "It's one of those things where no matter what you do, you can't just close your eyes and make it go away. It will happen whether you want it to or not and it's up to me to be prepared." While he said this in context of being judged before God, I apply it to everything else. Whenever I think to myself I really don't want to take this test or go do something I don't want to do, I then tell myself that there's nothing I can do. I will have to take that test no matter what. All I can do is make sure I'm prepared to the best of my abilities. One, I never would've thought that such a simple statement would change my take on the things I have to do and two, I never would've thought that it would come from a religious source.

Baby, it's cold outside (Day 25-30)
Wednesday, December 1, 2010
at
3:52 AM
Wow giant fail by me. I sorta forgot about this since I was so busy with school stuff, but I'm taking a quick break from studying physics and so I'll write days 25-30 really quickly. Sorry for no quote or picture this post either.
Day 25: Someone who fascinates me and why
To me, girls are fascinating. I know it's not technically "someone", but it still works. I think that innate curiosity into the opposite sex has been one of the reasons why I enjoy hanging out around girls. Girls are great company and are entertaining. Being in my dialogue about men and women just helped my increase that interest. Learning more helps my understanding and improving that area of my life would be nice.
Day 26: What kind of person attracts me
Hmm. I honestly don't really have this image of my "perfect" woman. There are certain traits that if a girl has them, I'll take notice of that and then I'll be like damn, I like that part of her. However, those things aren't a certainty in if I'm attracted to a girl or not. When I look at a girl to see if I'm attracted to her, it is partly does she have this trait or that, but also is she not like this or that. A girl could have all the perfect traits that I enjoy, but if she also has a bunch of things about her that I can't stand, it just wouldn't work.
Day 27: A problem that I have had
This is pretty general. The first thing that comes to mind at the moment is school since I'm studying right now. I've always had a problem taking tests. For some reason my brain hates retaining important information like notes and loves retaining useless information. Really I've always struggled with doing well on them, but in high school and such I've been able to still do well. In college, however, it's really starting to show it's ugly head whenever I have an exam just because everything's a lot harder now.
Day 28: Something that I miss
I miss being close to people. I definitely feel like I've drifted apart from some of my closest friends and haven't been able to fix that or replace that gap in my life yet.
Day 29: Goals for the next 30 days
Well my friend actually followed through with his deal with himself that he'd make a move on this girl before the end of the semester. So I think it'd be a nice idea for me to add it to my goals, but since I'm not really interested in any girls I know right now it's a long shot. My next goal is to start kicking school's ass. I just need to try harder and harder each semester and soon enough I'll be back on track. Also, figure out my future. I don't know what I want to do. Medical school? Graduate school? I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up still since there are so many options.
Day 30: My highs and lows of this month
High: It's sad that nothing comes to mind.
Lows: Also sad that a lot more lows come to mind than highs. Current low though, going back to studying now and pulling an all nighter.
Day 25: Someone who fascinates me and why
