. to the bottom of things .

* I watched The Rescuers Down Under ..
* I watched Spider-Man ..
* I read the Spider-Man comic book
from the newspaper ..
* I watched The Mask ..

This one made me think ..

Nobody's watching YouTube ..

Six degrees ..

The Heroes commercials are getting to be
almost as annoying as Head-On ..

Think about it .

Think about it .

Think about it .

Is 23 open ?

Oh yeah, Saturday was Carter's half-birthday ..
Wow . Time flies . He's getting old ..

New Danimals Wigglers ..
What makes yours wiggle ?

~~
I don't want to be at the top of the world;
I just want to get to the bottom of things .

The grass is always
greener
on the other side ..

Don Jose' doesn't have Mr. Pibb anymore ..

Carter's favorite color is green .
I can tell already .

When you get those little boxes of crayons,
they always contain
red, yellow, blue, and green .
~
They give you green
even though it is a secondary color !
~
It's just that important .

For washing cars,
and the drama that follows ..

I present to you
a spontaneous poem :

" I Apologize "
( for the Confusion )

by Siesta Lingo

I realize
I haven't been the best friend to you.
I realize
I haven't always been there for you.
But we can't all be perfect,
so why expect me to?

Is it something I said?
Is it something I lack?
Is it something I did to you
behind your back?

I don't quite understand your connotation.
I wish I could say I know what you're thinking.
I wish I knew what is going on.
But I don't.

I can't even find the words to talk to you.
I can't find a reason to smile.
I am filling my head with false hopes.

What do you want from me?

.....

" Did it possibly occur to you
that you said something stupid
and now she is pissed at you ? "

Damnn ..

an oddly familiar knack for numbers

It's the twenty-third again ..

Happy (belated) Talk Like a Pirate Day !

or visit the official website

Guess what !
I got # 26 in P.E ...
but yeah .
I switched to 17

The dance was $ 17 ..

rad(2x-3) - rad(x+2) = 2

237 ..
I'm sorry,
but I find all the numbers oddly familiar

My stomach hurts
and I don't feel like doing anything ..

especially not that, Shane .
Just wait till Monday ..
the deal is still on

..
It must feel really bad to have everything you ever wanted,
knowing that your life can't get any better ..

..
Car washes have a knack for changing my mind ..

not everything is possible .

" What is love, anyway ?
Maybe it's supposed to break all the rules ...
Life is short .
When two people love each other,
what should stand in their way ? "
~ Steve Carrell (sp) ~
( The Office premiere <3 )

I've been thinking about what I said before ..
And I considered the statement "anything is possible"
( Allow me to provide a situation : )
..
If anything were possible,
it would be possible to have a man that never talks ..
..
But if anything were possible,
it would in turn be possible for that man to talk ..
..
Soo logically, the statement "anything is possible"
in itself is a contradiction ..
Allowing us to conclude that not everything is possible .

I feel proud of myself ! XP
In a way ..

Shane didn't do his job very well ..

an alternative to thinking

[ A Search For an ALternative to Thinking
( Asfalt ) : The Research ]

Soo I've been thinking a lot .
as usual ..

And I got a headache .
And I HAT33 headachees ..

So I started to think,
there must be an alternative to thinking ..

After all,
anything is possible
and nothing puzzles God ..

So I ran up a Google search,
and was surprised to see 48,700 results ..

This is just some of what I found
(paraphrased a little,
I hope you don't mind) :

I'm willing to try (almost) all of them .
What a mission !!
I'd be famous !!

I'd put it on my goals list,

I'll at least get plenty of insight on life ..

Time flies, I guess ....

Over the past few days :

I watched Robin Hood ..
the Disney one .
Good movie .
Good quotes .
" Absence makes the heart grow fonder "
" Faint hearts never won fair lady "

I watched The Mummy

I watched Miracle Dogs Too ..
At first I thought it would be really dumb,
but it actually turned out pretty good ..
Good quotes .

never trust anyone who says ' Trust me ' "

I need new clothes ..
They are starting to get boringg

One of my wrists is smaller than the other ..

Discretionary is nothing more
than a high-res dictionary ..

Nothing like a good Spicy Chicken Sandwich
from Carl's Jr ...
and our order numbers
were 34 and 43 ..

Del Taco cooks 23 million
French fries each year ..

The lost causes are the ones
that are really worth fighting for ..

Will I ever stop ?
No .

Where does a pyromaniac go
if he dies with sins on his soul ?

What is the plural of Cup Noodles ?

For September eleventh,
and what happened that night ..

I present to you
a spontaneous poem :

" Feelings "
( When Everything was Simple )
by Siesta Lingo

When we were very young,
When we didn’t know any better,
We would make rude comments
And They would just laugh.
We would ask simple questions,
And They would answer,
And we would feel like we knew so much,
And They would just laugh.

When we were very young,
When we didn’t know any better,
We would ask Them to play with us,
And They would just laugh.
We would open our few presents on Christmas morning,
And we would be overjoyed,
And we would not even bother to say thank you,
But They would just laugh.

When we were very young,
When we didn’t know any better,
We would play on our little plastic instruments,
Or at least bang on the pots and pans,
And They would cover their ears,
Then They would just laugh.
We would accid3ntally dial 911,
And the Policeman would come to the door,
And He would look at us funny,
And if we were lucky,
They would just laugh.

When we were very young,
When we didn’t know any better,
We were familiar with only a few songs,
And we would hum them or sing them all the time,
Extremely off-key,
And They would no doubt become very annoyed,
But They would just laugh.

As we grew up,
As we began to know better,
We would learn to be polite.
We would learn our manners.
We would find so many more questions
That had yet to be answered.
We would learn that They had work to do.
We would learn not to interrupt Them.
We would find so many more ways
That we could spend our time.

And we would find out the hard way,
That there were some things They didn’t like,
And that if we did these things,
We would get into Trouble.
And we would find that we did not like Trouble.

We would try to avoid Trouble.
But we could not escape It.
And we would always want to get out of Trouble once we were in.
And this new Feeling would emerge inside of us,
And we would not understand what It was,
But we would find that It was powerful.
And It would overcome us.
And we would yell
And shout
And kick
And scream,
And maybe They would just try to ignore us,
Or maybe They would come into where we sat,
Into Trouble,
And we would see that Feeling in Their eyes,
And we would still not even begin to understand It,
But we would see its power.

And They would come to us,
And we would not know why,
But we would become Afraid.
And we would wince,
And our tears would well up in our eyes,
And we would Cry.
And It would overcome Them.
And They would yell
And shout
And hit
And scream,
And we would just Cry.
And we would not understand what It was,
But we would find that It was powerful.

And over time we would discover more and more Feelings,
Each one different from the last,
But all of them powerful.
And we would try to understand Them,
But we could never succeed.
And we would just find that
There were many types of Anger,
Many types of Fear,
Many types of Sorrow.
And They would overwhelm us.

So we would need something good to help us get through
The Bad.
And we would remember Music.
And we would remember that Music is good.
And we would just listen.

And eventually we would learn that
There was a whole world of Music out there,
A whole world of Feelings,
A whole world of questions,
Some of them answered, but not many.
We would discover a whole new world.

And we would explore this new world,
And we would grow up.
And We would, for the most part, like Our world.
But there would of course be Parts of it that We didn’t like.
And We would remember Before,
When everything was Simple.
When we were very young,
And we didn’t know any better.

And We would still ask questions,
And if they knew how
They would answer.
And We would feel like We knew so much.
And somewhere someone very young,
Who didn’t know any better,
Would also ask questions.
And We would answer simply,
And they would feel like they knew so much,
And We would just laugh.

Wapparoatomm didn't do what I wanted it to ..

But my blog has seemed to work ..

I find myself a much better writer now,

and for that matter a whole lot wiser .

~~~
DIECAR !!!

I .. I'm not sure I'm at liberty to discuss ..

Maybe I just shouldn't even go ..

~~~
What ever happened to my triplets ..

LOL

It's all singlets now .

I feel .. detached

And I am turning to 1337 again ..

~~~
What are you laughing at !

~~~
Uhmm ..
why do I say " under God "
in the Pledge of Allegiance ?

I'm really not suree ..

~~~
Why do I read SOO sloww !?

~~~
I think I am overusing the tildes ..

~~~
Oh well .
Anyway ..

Wishing I had a digital camera,
so I could take some decent pictures,
this is Colllin . Xb..

.. the fear and anger of losing love

. Hoy te amo .

~~~

Went to Park Avenue
for the first time
on Sunday night ..
and since it was a Sunday night,
apparently the menu was
completely different than normal ..
But I liked it .

~~~

Wow . How convenient ..
How-to of the Day is
' How to Handle Jealousy '
..
" Jealousy is not the same thing as love.
Sometimes, people think that
by feeling jealous about someone,
they are loving them.
..
" Jealousy is not love,
it's the fear and anger of losing love.
Jealousy disappears when
you are truly loving yourself and others
for whatever experience you're having. "

~~~

I'm blue ..
I'm in need of a grrl ..
Funny tho .

" I remember when the game of life had just one rule
You didn't have to think to figure out just what to do
One time I rolled the dice and they showed a double two
And four spaces ahead was you "

She needs her own song ..

Btw, I don't think I can sing it to you anymore ..

~~~

I liked Mrs. Hale's bag metaphor ..
That game was pretty fun too ..

And yes, 17 is still my favorite number .

W . A . C .
Twice !
And thrice !

I got 17 wrong ..

I got 17 right ..

And later, bus 17 ..

I'm going to be straightforward with you ..
I don't know how long I have been waiting for those words

" Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough "

'N SYNC is stuck in my head now !!

Grrrr ..

a moment to reflect .. but the truth remains

Well .
It's September 11th again .
So I suppose I should probably do something special,
like a memoriam or something ..

Or I could just say a
Happy Birthday to my Uncle Johnny !
Although no one celebrates it anymore ..

I said hello to Mr. Hauge after school today ..
He is so cool .

" I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains "
~ sorry, Shane ~

~ Seksy Love <3 ~

DIECAR !!!

D .. I need a date for the BtS Dance

And now, let's take a moment to reflect
on our day, our work, our life, and our future ..

at least a little racist ..

Ohkay, so I was mistaken ..
I didn't post yesterday after all,
I'm sorry ..

Score of the Day :
I scored 4666 points
on Jumpagon ..
[ Soo close to the Hall of Fame ..
but anyway, ]
can you beat me ??

~~~

And now, to catch up on the holidays :

Happy belated Labor Day !
Although I still say it has no point ....

Wednesday was my Grampa's birthday ..
He and his "wife" came to visit today ....

Yesterday was Shannon and Greg's five-year anniversary,
I think .. Yes, if my math is correct,
they got married two days before 9/11 ..

Today is Grandparents' Day ..
Uhm . Hurray !

~~~

We are all at least a little racist ..

I know I am .

Not that I like white people ..
In fact, I generally despise white people .

I think they are unattractive, annoying, disgraceful,
and they have set a bad reputation for themselves ..
but that's a different story .

[ Keyword generally .. no offense to the white people, ]
but like I said .. I know I am .

All I can say is,
I've only invited five people so far to my prrivate blog,
and three of them are Flip ..

LOL

Tryna learn to dance fr'reals,
and not doing too well,
this is Colllin . Xb..

while I was gone ..

* Guess who's back,
back again ..
Colllin's back,
tell a friend .. *

.. wait, did I say that already ?

I feel like Eminem today ..
I just wana rap .
Angry rap ....

While I was gone :

I watched at least a movie a day ..

The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio
Aladdin
Just My Luck
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
The Return of Jafar
Lady and the Tramp

Carter spit up on me ..

We made ice cream at home ..

The basic economic problem ..
the BEP !! AHAH

Hmm .. I wonder,
could the economic decision-making process be used for ..
romantical decisions ??

Welcome to the new year, folks .
Let's hope it's a good one ..

Here's to procrastination,
and getting a big zit right in the middle of your nose
the night before the first day of school ..

Cheers, darlin'
.. wait, did I say that already ?

Panic's stuck in my head again
.. wait, did I say that already ?

Everything's repeating itself ..
Mfg.

I don't like my schedule ..

Something's missing
.. wait, did I say that already ?

More coming up tomorrow,
don't worry ....

I break for homework

My parents are stalking me,
and I'm sick of it ..

So as soon as school starts,
I'm making my blog private ..

If you want to be allowed,
post a comment .

Until then,
I'm taking a break ..

.....

Mfg .
I lost my homework ..

While looking for it,
I found so many old memories ..

I remember
Dandy Stran
and Bobo ..

Ze totally bit my idea,
and just doubled it ..

The only real difference between you and me
is that she loves you back ..

You should consider yourself lucky .
I don't know why,
but why not ?

While you're waiting,
a penny for your thoughts ..

whose line IS it, anyway ??

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

Hello and welcome to
" Who Do You Like, Anyway ? "
the blog where everything goes wrong
and the comments don't matter ..

I'm torn ..

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

One of my ears is lower than the other ..

I have a strange rash on my neck,
and I have no idea how it got there ..

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

My butt fell asleep ..

I got yet another quote wrong ..

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

Something's missing ..

My dreams are so serene ..
If only real life were like that

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

Labor Day is a pretty pointless holiday ..

And they want to make September eleventh
a national holiday ..
Why would you want to celebrate something
you don't want to remember ??

Head on -- apply directly to the forehead

Ohkay, so I didn't finish Wapparoatomm in time
. Oops .
Oh, well ..
