For the most part, I love humans.
Here are some people that bug me:
-Ryan Seacrest
...
That's all I can think of right now.

I am not lazy.
My favorite professor convinced me that there are no lazy kids. The "slackers" just don't value what you want them to. For example, one of my favorite students values defying authority and staying up until 5:00 AM playing video games.
I'm putting off an essay that I don't value. I like the topic - why private schools are dumb and harmful and make puppies cry - but do I need to put that into writing? No. Let's just have a conversation about it, please.
After I publish this post, I am off to the dining room table to highlight long sections from an article that I can quote in my essay to take up space. Then I will watch Iron Chef America. During the commercials, I might highlight more. After the show, I will return to this rolly chair, write another blog post, walk to the kitchen for some Mighty Mango, think about how my feet hurt, look at myself in the mirror, put some shoes in my shoe rack, sit back down at the computer, make a Scrabulous move, write four more pages of the essay, put a note on the bottom that says I will be happy to redo the paper after some comments because I struggled writing it, set my alarms, and go to sleep.
Three weeks until summer!

Traffic, crime, global climate change - these things won't get me down.
See unicycle locked to a bike rack - check.Have a student tell me that I gave him confidence in himself and his abilities - check.
Find lots of precious text messages on my phone when I get home - check.
Eat Muesli - check.
Take a picture of a giant sundial - check.
Ride my scooter around Seattle, just because - check.
Get ready to go to enjoy some quality live music - check.
Today was a good day.

101 Life Goals - the first 10
My senior year of high school, I wrote 101 life goals for a school assignment. I'll share them with you, 10ish at a time. Feel free to say, "Hey! I want to do [certain goal] with you!" or "Hey! I want to pay the fee for [certain goal] for you!" I would appreciate either of those.
These are listed in no particular order. Bold means I have completed it. Parentheses tell you when.
-Skydive (done, summer 2003)
-Bungee jump
-Go on a 3+ night white water rafting trip
-Go on a 5+ night bicycling trip
-Hot air balloon
-Go to a soccer game some place where it's big
-Live outside the United States for at least 1 year
-Sing in a karaoke bar (about a million times in 2006)
-Visit the Vatican
-Get married barefoot
Yes, that's really me in the picture. Kumari and/or Marc and/or my Ma have impressive photography skills.

Who needs an attention span where there is all this fun stuff to read?
If I would have known that I could name a robot "McSleepy", I would have gone into the medical-robot-creation field.In other Discovery Channel News... news, "baleen whales fly through the water like steely torpedos." Oh, the simile! Oh, the decision to use "torpedos" instead of "torpedoes!" Oh, the information about whales!
Today, Discovery is my favorite.
