ok... so I actually have to keep up with schoolwork this year... that's fine, I love doing useless work that's only meant to keep me in practice, love it so much that 20 sketches a week and 2 separate 1-page journal entries aren't going to be an issue, and the 3 posts a week on the class forum as well as the non-weekly asignments and my other classes should make this year just like heaven!

I took 4 classes to raise my GPA... now they're swamping me in friggen busy work... joy. x.X

In other news, the coven isn't arguing my choice to step back and look at what I want out of my spirituality and my girlfriend and I are fighting as often as not... I hate fuming at her, but she annoys the hell out of me sometimes... Lots of change this year. Either I'll come out better for it or I'll come out scarred again, I'm pushing for better.

One more semester...

Four classes this time, and most of them are throw aways, grades should be better if I can force myself to do the work and quit playing around for once.

Time will tell, wish me luck and strength, I might need it.

Another day passes

It's the ninth year on the millenium, the number of physical completion, but for me it's just another turn of the wheel.

New Years day has come and gone marked only by a 'spoonful' of those vile black-eyed peas and the passing of time. I watch the clock roll through numbers each day and the days roll on like an endless parade... just another notch in a belt.

Nothing about the world seems to matter and I find myself growing bored with myself and my life... it's always just another day.

I wonder if this madness of mine will ever end.

I think it might be good to live my own life... to finally be terrified again. Perhaps I should have forgone the peas all together... maybe could use a bit of misfortune this time around.

deity quiz thingy says... ok then

Your Score: Coyote

Indeed, you are 75% erudite, 70% sensual, 58% martial, and 75% saturnine.

Coyote was an important being to several Native American tribes. He was one of those tricksters that are found in several world mythologies, in fact very close in temperament and deed to Loki of the Norse pantheon.

Eternally scavenging for food, he represents the most basic instincts, but in other narratives, he is also the father of the Indian people and a potent conductor of spiritual forces in the form of sacred dreams. In the �Myth of the Stars and the Moon� he is shown as a wise counsellor even.

There are more stories about him than stars in the sky. For example, did you hear the one about the �Spying Moon�? It seems that someone had pinched the moon, and Coyote offered to stand in as replacement. Everyone agreed that he made a fine moon, but from his elevated position Coyote could see everything that was going on. Being of an irritating disposition, he couldn't resist blowing the whistle on friends and enemies alike. "Hey, look what Badger is doing behind his tepee!"

Pretty soon everyone was sick of his snooping and voted him out of the sky. But nothing can keep Coyote down for long. Being an old show-off, he loves to impress the girls by juggling his eyeballs. One day he threw one so high it got stuck in the sky and became the star Arcturus. So even now he's keeping an eye on us all.

Now...

I left my house today to find, not a flock of birds, but a world full to overflowing with the sound of feathers and flux. Now is the time of Autumn and the falling of dry leaves, now is the time of the seasonal migrations, now is the time of the darkening of Father Sky, of sleep, of Morpheus and dreams, of great winds and cool nights. Now is the time of feasting, of thanksgiving, of the year's wealth, now is the time of celebration. Now is the time to start my tale, may I seize this day, season, year, may I grasp hold of this time with both hands and yield not, My time is NOW. Now is the time of communication, of the mind, now is the time of AIR!

Xenophobia- Why?

2007-02-12T19:48:24Z

I spent lunch with a group of friends today, and every last one of them was Christian. It's occurred to me that people seek out others who are like to them, but I've never understood why everyone must be so similar. I've heard a good many say that God loves diversity, but why is mankind so opposed to it?

I love seeing something new and wonderful, love finding friends among the masses and would love to be able to walk as I am instead of how I wish to be seen. People won't allow it however. To walk in the nude violates decency laws, to walk in the clothing that suits me best would label me as odd and to be avoided. I walk into an establishment and the owner thinks "eccentric", "whimsical", "silly", "stupid". Why am I not simply myself? Why can we not simply have faith that others have their own lives to live and their own troubles to solve?

But no... racism and holy-wars run rampant, hate crimes are discussed at length by great thinkers and common citizens, sometimes both at once. What makes the unknown so frightening? Why is what goes bump in the dark any more dangerous than what lays within the skull of our neighbor? How can we trust those around us and not see the intelligence and virtue in those we hate? Why do we refuse to learn? THIS more than anything else is what angers me about this human race. THIS is why I feel the need to hide from the world. THIS is why I have a need for filters. Please, prove me wrong.
