111208 - I don't have a left big toe nail

for the second time in my life, I don't have a whole big toe nail on my left foot. It feels weird to walk, and I'm afraid to take off the band aid because I see the purple. I don't want to know what it really looks like.

tonight is the FACES hosted veg out in gallagher. I made the fried rice and I had some last night and it was good. hopefully it's as good today as it was this morning haha.

111208 - Jesus was a good looking man

[this particular blog post is subject to change] As part of an ongoing effort to prove that Jesus was hot. I haven't done any research .. this is purely me vomiting my thoughts onto my blog.



Most of the time, I see the world the way I want to see it. When the world as I see it turns out to be a world completely different, I wonder why. Jesus' physical appearance, his human form, was never something I thought about until the other day. I conclude that he was a good looking being. Very good looking. These, collectively, are reasons for why Jesus HAD to be good looking fellow:

1. He said crazy things. Jesus had some insane ideas about reforming the Jewish religion. Here he was, standing in his robe, on a mound: "I'm Jesus and everything you knew about yourself, everything you've been doing, everything your family has known for centuries, is, well, wrong. Hey, here's an idea! Let's try something new and different." People took their traditions to heart, let alone their religious traditions. If they're going to change something, there better be a damn good reason for change. Reform was difficult. They knew what they knew and they weren't going to complicate things just to appease one man. If he were good looking, people would be a little more sympathetic to his cause. There was probably the general feeling that: "He's crazy, but God didn't make him too ugly for us to look at while he preached this so said crazy." If Jesus was ugly and said crazy things, he'd just be another ugly guy, preaching crazy things.

2. He hung out with ugly people. Jesus was always talking with the untouchables, the down-trodden, the sad and lowly. If he was not good looking, Jesus would just be another ugly person in the sea of ugly people. Visually, it would be ineffective for him to stand out to the crowds.

3. He was curing the sickly. Jesus was going around doing miracles here and there, curing people, the usual. If you were the mother of a dying child, and you heard of this crazy ugly person going around touching little children would you let him come touch your child? If Jesus had a nice smile and looked inviting and not out of the ordinary, that would better help his cause of curing the sick. If he were good looking, smelled nice and had the friendliest smile ever, you would invite him into your home with less reservation. If Jesus were ugly, the public may have thought: "If God sent this man to cure the sickly, why is this man deformed, ugly, uninviting? He can't cure himself?" It is less believable if someone who does not seem healthy himself, can bring those sickly to health. If Jesus were good looking, the public may have thought: "God sent us someone who says he can cure the sick and he himself looks very clean and healthy! Let us welcome this good looking man into our home to cure our sick children."

4. He was touching our food. I guess this argument has more to do with Jesus' cleanliness than anything and probably is more relevant to present time. They probably did not care back then who touched their food, but today, I know I would not want someone who doesn't wash their hands at all to make my food and serve it to me.

This is not meant to come across as shallow. I just simply believe that for Jesus to spread God's word as swiftly and effectively as he did, he would have had to be good looking. People needed to be drawn to him, rich and poor, ugly and pretty people alike.

110608 - road to X

here is my 500 character bio that is on RoadtoXavier for the prospective students:

I read somewhere that the average person laughs 13 times a day. I am so above average, it is almost not funny. I like food, a lot. I do not like wet socks or sharing my toothbrush. I will, however, share my hairbrush & calculator (for complex calculus problems only). I text pretty fast & I talk even faster but I definitely do NOT run fast. I love singing & dancing, both separately & simultaneously. I also like taking pictures & tagging people on facebook. 500 characters?! You're killing me here.


I mean, I tried to be funny. Perhaps I failed, perhaps not.

Either way, I have a new theory: Jesus was a good looking man. More deets on this lates (read as: more details on this later).

110508 - Harder than I thought

last night was interesting. Obama won the 2008 Presidential election. I want to rally behind the man, but I don't know. Easier blogged, than done.

I did say a little prayer for him last night. He will do what he believes is best. Not that the president really has that much of say in anything really.

Ah, fuck it. I said in my last blog that I didn't care who won anymore. Evidently, I actually do care. I think they were brought on by the people I surrounded myself with .. everyone was just so angry and I realized I was angry too. Angry and disappointed.

I also got to call my best friend, Thao, last night. We talked about the usual haha. Which always seems the be the same even when we haven't talked to each other in months.

110408 - Election Day, it's a big one

I cannot believe that the day to finally vote is here. I'm so sick of all this political talk and blah blah that I'm bursting at the seams; really just want to know who the next president is going to be. I don't even care at this point anymore.

I wore my "I think, therefore I vote Republican" shirt earlier today. Our political system divides people. Some of my friends and I were discussing earlier how the bipartisan system just tears people apart; friends turn into enemies blah blah. Politics gets so personal sometimes.

But I am ready for thanksgiving. Bring on the turkey and apple cider!

110308 - caved, bought it, read it

BLOG CONTAINS MOVIE SPOILERS.


so Halloween went spook-tacularly! haha, play on words, intended. everyone in the house dressed up as the cast of Peter Pan! it was fabulous, glitter in the hair, face paint, and all!

Saturday night, Molly Laws and I went to Target (where I purchased Twilight that book I was talking about earlier) and Walmart (where I purchased four movies: Hard Candy, Wicker Park, Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter, and Friday the 13th: VII The new Blood ..). Then we went to Hollywood Video and rented 30 Days of Night, Pathology and The Happening.

You should probably have guessed that Saturday night was scary movie marathon night.

We started with the Happening: actors were horrible .. or were they good? Knowing M. Night Shaymalan's work, he probably told them to be awkward characters that no one can really take seriously. Such a shame for the movie, I guess. I didn't care if they died or not. An interesting concept though; the theory that plants will rise and attack us with the toxins they release into the air. I mean, if that were the case, we'd all be .. in the butt.

Pathology was. 3 stars out of 5. The good guy, was not really a good guy. Horrible boyfriend even though he avenged his fiance's death .. blah blah blah, what a whore, Milo Ventimiglia! Plot was the only thing supporting this movie - human life, ahh, so easily (and creatively) taken away. Smart and sexy.

30 Days of Night. molly and I still don't understand how Jill and Kevin could fall asleep during this. I almost pooped in my pants. Almost.

Then it was 3:00 AM and we were so scared we had to watch Baby Mama. Funny funny funny.

Then we gained an hour courtesy of daylight savings time.

Sunday I read Twilight, and finished it. A book with no literary value. It's a young adult romance .. what did I expect!

oh, and I saw Obama.
