Someday I will be a Fearless Warrior

change is a coming and for once i feel i can handle it, whatever it may be. my anxiety of starting college vanished today, because i, on my own, conquered it (after all i, on my own, created it). today, i was determined to be a fearless warrior. i was going to go down to uic by myself and get done what i needed to get done and i was not going to be ashamed of being a lost freshman not knowing exactly what i was doing. and that was what i did, except what i really needed to get done (financial aid, u-pass...ect.) can't get done until next week. but i do know where stevenson hall is and that it takes a good hour on the red line to get to and from campus (both are highly valuable pieces of information, let me tell you).

for the first time i feel that i am where i need to/should be. it all feels right.

that, is one good feeling.

---------------
i can feel it in my bones
i can feel in it my feet
these are the steps i'm here to take
this is the air i'm here to breathe

this is my soul speaking clear to me
this is the place i'm suppose to be

On a Jones Soda (brought at a P*nea) Near You ...maybe

i submitted a whole bunch o' pictures of amia for the jones sodas that are sold at p*nea (the pictures on these particular jones sodas are taken by the people that work at p*nea). two of the pictures just happened to get the "STAFF PICK!" badge and will be sent to the final judges who will choose which pictures will be put on the bottles. and if you want to see them drop me a comment and i'll e-mail you to them.

i've been feeling rather lucky beyond lucky when i found this out and so when i checked the last minute availability of tickets for the oprah show i was very confident that i would be able to charm my way into getting tickets. the question this time was/is... is september 8th, 1986 a significant date to you? i pondered the question a bit and then i wrote to the oprah.com staff the following:

September 8th, 1986 was my nine month birthday. Significant? I. think. so.
