google = omnipotent?

So apparently Google already owns me.  There is a micro blogging service called Jaiku (pronounced correctly) which Google acquired.  Yes, I had to check to make sure they got the pronunciation correct; it's jA-koo.  Creepy.  I finished the beta version of the level editor for my game.  I hope to post a tutorial / feature brag in the "near future."  ETA: sometime.  Life keeps on moving forward.  Half way through the quarter...so what's that, an eighth?  Meh.  Constant tiredness degrades my mental state, but don't worry it's not depression just lack of sleep.  Finally talked to an advisor...and constantly considering a double major...though not really motivated enough to take on all that extra work.  Software Engineering is treating me well enough.  An internship or study-abroad in Germany is really tempting though...and as long as it doesn't cost a couple limbs I might actually do it next summer.  Or I could apply for an internship with Google...since they already own me.  Done.

pb = reeses

I have sitting on my desk right now a moderately sized jar of creamy Reese's peanut butter.  It serves as great programming fuel (necessary for long stretches of homework).  Talked to my sister today (on the phone).  Always good to catch up with family...I am never good about keeping in contact with everyone.  People need to call me more often because I just forgot.  Da well.  This morning smelled like Christmas.  Yayz.  Still need to figure out when I will be available to visit P-town.  It's on my TODO list.  Homework is tying me down on the weekends, but I somehow seem to be staving off my inevitable drowning in work.  Done.

mind = drifting

As the music streams into my head my mind sets off drifting.  Nowhere to go but refusing to stand still it settles deeper into the mire of my subconscious.  My body so tired, so worn that it no longer knows how to move just gives in to the rapid pulse of neurons.  I subside.

Confusion: Repeat

Sometimes all things fade
When you finally forget
Alone I can't be.

Dreams are to be held
Not higher, but beneath Him;
We are but nothing.

All water flows down,
But pure it will return hence;
All to flow again.

Where, to be what is;
Answers for questions unasked,
Ponder everything.

Can I find myself,
Where I found myself before…
Never truly lost.

~haikus from "A Drifter Mind" by mersayochan.  Done.
