Today is January 30th - The day of the Big Beak Bird

hey guys, I'm not sure how much new stuff I'll have today since sometimes I like to make stuff up from the cuff but I'll start with a quote i found in my old xanga

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars

--Edwin Hubbel Chapin


i think it was back when I realized that I have many scars on my skin and I thought its only ugly to some, but to others its a sign that you know what life is b/c you know sacrifice or pain....iono


here's a haiku from Dec. 3rd, 2004

I think at that point I was cynical of many pre-meds that wanted to get into the medical business for the wrong reasons.....iono maybe I was too black and white and sarcastic back then?

what truly matters?
a heart is irrelevant
only skin matters



alright some new stuff now

I don't like to talk
words are so cheap, I want more
Communication

tragic is silence
for the lack of expression
is pregnant with death



Life constantly grinds
the perpetual machine,
when will i find rest?



If I only have
to remember all the bad
then let me forget




Anachronism
That is what I am, here, now.
Temporally lost


there is no histr'y
if there is no future too
who would tell the tale?




Life is plaid pattern'd
we are separate threads weaved
tightly together.

today is january 28th - the day of the vanilla cone

hey guys, i've decided to migrate my haiku's from my old xanga here, so i guess i'll be mixing old and new for a while but then hopefully will start writing them on a regular basis

Special thanks to my lab buddies Lani, Gilbert and Rafa, they got me an awesome origami calendar, like one of those tear away ones, but each day you learn something new and use yesterday's paper as a sacrifice for the art of the day.

fold up yesterday
forget its trials instead
make something of it


here's some i wrote in class while learning about behavioral ecology (barf)

what is life's purpose?
is it just to pass genes on?
or is there more here?



what is destiny?
is it correct when forwards?
or when its backwards?



extinguish this fire
it burns without prejudice
destroying the good




here's one from the extreme past, the very first in fact from November 29, 2004



Silence screams loudly
sound mutes truth to nothingness
cover your ears, hear
