Big Life Decision!
As of this morning, March 20, 2007, I have decided to pack my bags and move to Bora Bora, an island of French Polynesia. If you want to come stay in my beach house, let me know, and I'll make another hammock in the next few days for you.

Princess.
My cat expects me to dote on her night and day. She is thus appropriately called "Princess." When I see her sitting by her empty dish, I say out loud: "Oh. Do I have to get "Princess" some food?" I don't know how she can control me, and make me wait upon her, but she is 14 so I will let it slide.
Anyway, it is Wednesday. Spring break is half over. I dread going back to school. I might just decide to not go back. There are plenty of jobs out there. I could even do illegal stuff, and make a lot of money. I could be an arms dealer. Not only is this a lucrative market, but it would be sort of exciting. I like excitement. I live for excitement. Yesterday I street luged down a large hill. Today I explored a crevice. Tomorrow I am going to BASE jump. If the police try to get me, I will run.

Sap for Romance
I am a sap for romance. Today I watched a movie on IFC called Lulu on the Bridge. It was a really good movie. Unlike all those other love stories out there, this one really captured what it is really like...the excitement, the initial awkwardness, the true nature of love. This is one of my favorite movies.
I watched this other movie called Dirty Pretty Things about a Nigerian man and a Muslim young woman trying to survive in London. They are illegal immigrants, and their employers know it, but do not say anything...cheap labor. Illegal immigrants often "donate" their kidneys in return for passports and new identies, but usually the surgeries are performed crudely, and the survival rate is low. The Muslim girl consents to having sex with the guy who produces passports for illegal immigrants. She loses her virginity. In the end, the Nigerian, who is a doctor, tricks the guy and ends up removing the guy's kidney, collects money from a man who "buys" the organs, and thus buys airline tickets for the Muslim woman and himself. The Muslim goes to New York; the Nigerian to see his seven year old daughter (he had to flee Nigeria years before because the government was trying to kill him). When the Muslim woman is getting onto the plane, she turns around and mouths "I love you" to the Nigerian. He mouths it back. I almost cried.
IFC movies are the greatest because they make things how they really are in life. They don't add all kinds of background music to enhance the mood...my emotions are stirred in deeper ways.
Other movies I have enjoyed recently are:
The Puffy Chair
Some people buy a chair on ebay and have to pick it up from Atlanta. I only saw a bit of this one, but it was crazy hilarious!
Tears of the Sun
This is a very touching movie. I think this says a lot about the SEALS and the US military. Just remember that we are fighting for so many reasons, and it is never right to dishonor our soldiers. This world is a crazy place, and I truely believe that it can be better...it will be better.
Man on Fire
Creasy values life, and gives his own for Pita. This is one of the most honorable things a human could do for another. I think I was touched by this movie because I, too, would give my life for something I believe in.

Spring Break
Spring break has started, and you ask "what, what are you going to do for spring break, Charles? Are you going to go to an exotic place and sit on the beach?" Then I say something like "no, no I am not planning on going to an exotic place because I lack the funds to do such fine things. Instead, I shall go back to my hometown and golf for five days straight on the 9-hole course."
"Nine hole?" you say. "Are you joking? That is not even real golf!"
"No, no it isn't," I respond, my emotions not excited. "But I am not a real golfer. I am a binge golfer. Others binge drink, and fuck themselves up, but I choose to stay clean, to improve on my golf game."
"What?" you say. "Are you some kind of pansy?"
And that's when my bud Tiger Woods comes out of nowhere and knocks you to the floor with his three wood. Tiger lets out a roar, something like: "yo man! You should listen to this Charles kid. That booze is a bad scene...it'll surely fuck you up." And then Michael Jordan will crawl out from the shrubs and say something like: "Damn straight! That booze will FUCK YOU UP!"
Michael Jordan is like a saint. You should follow in his footsteps this spring break, and stay clean. That is always best.

Today
Today was sort of busy. I can't really remember what happened, but it was busy.
Josip was a pretty sweet guy. He was pretty sweet.
Unfortunatley, I am a dumbass, and thought that the reading was at 19:30. So, I get there, a little late, like at 19:35, and then realize that it was at 19:00. Instead of being the fool to walk in late, I decided to turn around and walk back outside.
I just got done eating a lot of candy. Walgreens has these humungous boxes of candy for $1, so I bought 5: Raisenettes, Junior Mints, Red Vines, Boston Baked Beans, and these things called Jujubes. Then in the checkout line I decided I needed some peeps, so I got a box of those too. I ate almost the whole box of Raisenettes. I feel sort of sick. The Jujubes were like three years old, and very hard, so I only ate about five of those things. Don't get Jujubes. They will surely bring you to your downfall.
Also, this insomnia thing is over. Instead, I am just really tired all the time. I sleep like 9 or ten hours a night, and still I am tired in the day. Maybe I am dying. That would be most unfortunate. I don't think I am dying. No, I'm not.
Well, on this note, I am going to go to bed. The Raisenettes need time to settle. My brain needs time to clear. My body needs 11 hours of rest.

I am NOT Irish.
This is what my room looks like. It is disorganized. It is difficult to locate what you are looking for.
What my room represents is my mind. My mind is disorganized, and it is quite possible that I do not know what is going on more than 75% of the time.
You see that fishbowl, on top of the wardrobe? I like that fishbowl. A fish swims in it. Its name is Gypsum. You see that picture above the fishbowl? It is a picture of two white kittens in a wicker basket with a red linen. You see that hat on the left? It is a Norte Dame hat. I'm Irish, so naturally I would have a Norte Dame hat. See that torchier light? It sets a romantic mood. I like a romantic mood. See those curtains? Those curtains were made by my mom. I live in sort of a basement thing. The ground level starts at the bottom of the window. I guess you could say I live in a pit.
But it is an awesome pit. I love to live in this pit. I have a cat who also resides in the pit. Her name is Nacho. She is orange.
See that stuff hanging from the ceiling? It's like Christmas all the time in my room. Joy to the world!
