I must be on crack. after i wrote my last entry, I ended up talking to Lauren on the phone, actually about an hour after I finished writing. we had a lovely convo as usual — it was really nice to talk to her on the phone again, since we hadn’t done so for a bit, and I missed her gorgeous voice. the phone is a wonderful thing — sometimes I end up not being all that talkative on the net cos i get distracted, but on the phone, i am completely focused and serene usually. we talked for what seemed like hours (at least 2 or so?), and sadly (but absolutely adorably) she fell asleep while talking to me. of course it’s 3hrs ahead there, so it was like almost 6am when she fell asleep on there, so I don’t blame her. hell, I’m surprised I started writing this at almost 7am this morning. fuck. so yeah… I said “sweetie? sweetheart? you there?” and she didn’t answer, so i said “ok, you have a wonderful night ok? youre asleep and all, so i will talk to you tomorrow…” and I hung up. i felt kinda bad about it though.

i have a lot of shit to write, because a lot has happened over the last day or so. so let’s start from the beginning. i like to go chronologically, because that’s the best way to chronicle, chronologically. yep. i’m rather tired; exhausted. worried about Monday, brooding because I have to give a presentation for Aristophanes — and I’ve not even started preparing. worried about preparing something to talk about the lines of Lysistrata I’ve selected, which actually don’t seem all that rich for writing a paper on, but I think they’re interesting nonetheless. other than that, I’m sublime (but as you know, it is not just a ‘sometimes’ thing, hehe). Oregon’s winning the Civil War game 56-14 (last time I checked), and so that’s a good thing — I can’t remember the last time they won it. word. a lot of thought is going into this entry, i hope — it will be just as circumspect and detailed as other entries.

i worry sometimes i may unintentionally wear myself thin. trying to be too many things for too many people, doing this and that, just stressing myself unnecessarily too. i am not stressed, im rather happy, and im probably overanalysing things… i just worry occasionally. i am always honest and sincere with people; at least, that is the ideal i aspire to — i aim to be as sincere as possible, circumspect, and thoughtful in my dealings with other people. i am not a sycophant. i do not say things simply to please other people, or fawn over them with imaginary fervor. if i say something kind or compliment someone, I do it honestly and benignly, not with any ulterior motives. as i’ve said so many times before (perhaps you all haven’t heard?), “if someone’s beautiful, i’ma tell ‘em.” shite like that. it’s true — i simply give credit where due.

some fucker hacked my website today.
i dunno if you all saw, but some asshole fucked with my shit today. the surprising thing is that they only changed the index.php file — the file that allows the blog main page to be displayed. no password changes (although password changes would be useless, since I control FTP accounts from my account management console), just putting up a new index.php file. They didn’t delete anything either, strangely. This leads me to think that this may have been a pseudo-”public service” to me — i.e. letting me know that my password was insecure enough to get hacked. so i changed it straightway, and restored my blog to its former splendour — the one you see now in front of you. thank God they didn’t do anything to my files. I guess I should be thankful in a way. (more…)

i awoke today around 17.00 for the final time. initially around noon, then once every hour it seemed, not wanting to wake up for anything. sadly, the package office closes at 17.00, and my DVDs are locked in their cardboard prison for another day. agh. i had a number of strange dreams last night too, and I can’t remember half of them, but they were apotheotic in nature I’m sure. i think in one dream, i dreamt i was drunk as fucking hell. i cant remember the rest. it’s been a wonderful week thus far though, strangely enough. usually weeks don’t start out too well, since mondays are usually catastrophic. let’s rewind to monday morning then.

alright, I’m going to make this very, very quick, since I’ve got much more studying to do tonight. it’s 5am, and I’ve just finished my funeral oration that I wrote for my Attic Oratory class. It has to do with honouring the dead of the Revolutionary War; I am not a fervent patriot by any means (some would say that I’m not a patriot at all!), but I conjured up a lot of words to respect those who fell for the sake of founding our country (even if it was forged in blood like Rome, vid. inf.), and I dunno, it was kinda fun to write. Note that I don’t believe all of this stuff — i.e. I don’t think that bloodshed always ought to bring about freedom, and things such as that, but a lot of the statements I’ve made do hold true.
Oh, and you also know that I love the British. not for the whole Revolutionary War and all, but just cos Britain is fucking cool (don’t you remember my British flag hanging in my room back home so long? if you’ve known me for awhile, you know a number of my pictures prominently featured the flag on my wall). In any case, this is written as if a general or orator was giving this speech before a number of Revolutionary War soldiers and their families after the end of the war. I tried to make it like Thucydides wrote Perikles’ funeral oration, or also based on Plato’s Menexenos, but we’ll see how it all turns out. anyways, enjoy.. I hope you like the speech.
