Untitled (for the moment)

“Breathe in, breathe out,” she said. This pulse is an easy thing.
What we have here is simple coordination, a rhythm designed by a beat.
And we keep the time with our feet as we walk on unstable ground.
This is the collision of tension and grace, of chaos and sound.

With the planet spinning in an unnoticeable and steady motion,
We sleep-walk through it unaware of the reason behind the commotion.
And as gravity works its magic and our bodies cling to the surface,
She understands why he hates this, and why it makes him nervous.

There’s something uneasy about traveling without any answers,
Without anything real to hold on to, we might as well be dying of cancer.
In the distance they hear a calling and they crave a way to react,
But what is it that stops them? And why is it holding them back?

Scattered posts and cloudy text

Ok so Winter has always been my favorite season. I love the snow, I love the cold.

But now... LET IT BE OVER ALREADY! I don't know what it is, but I feel like this winter season is never going to end. I want my warm weather. I don't even care at this point if it means running away from bugs. I just want warm weather... even just to be able to see the sun more than twice a month. And now I'm hearing we're supposed to be hit with a blizzard on Friday.

AAAAAAAAAA! Go away snow! just go away! Shoo!

So. In other news.

I've been become famous around the office for being obsessed with someday going to Fiji. I dunno why, I just suddenly decided like a year ago that more than anything, I wanted to go to Fiji. Well that has changed. The new of love of my life (Next to Shane) is Dubai. I want to go to Dubai. That's right, I have high standards. Standards so high even Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates would be complaining the hotel rooms are too expensive. But I want to go. I don't know how and I don't know when (maybe in my sleep while I'm dreaming) But I am getting there someday and I am sleeping in that under-water hotel!

And for those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, it's ok. I am used to this.

And in even more other news...

Check out http://www.wolffdental.com/ and look in the Our Dental Team section and you'll find a bio about meeeeeeeee. What's also kind of cool is that everyone else's bios were written by me. You think I should get some kind of credit for that?

Ok I'm off to run errands... in this cloudy stupid weather.

"I don't want to keep sleep walking...

Through endless days I've had enough of...
Going nowhere, God I want to...
Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP!!!!!!!"

You ever just feel like you're sleep-walking through life and you're waiting for God to reach out and pinch you into being awake? I've had that feeling lately. Well honestly, some part of me always constantly has that feeling but it's been even more powerful than usual. Everything is such a cloudy blurry animated mess. I think it's feeling very strong emotion that creates this affect. It's like you just can't handle it so the brain goes into this mode where you hardly realize what's going on, and you don't really care that you don't.

So here I am, awaiting my pinch. Or even just a poke will do. I could really use one. Actually, hugs are nice too.

Cloverfield...

As if J.J. Abrams could possibly own me any more than he already does.

Well before I start about Cloverfield, I'd like to say a big huge fat CONGRATS to Andy and Christina Clark! 2 awesome friends who just got married over the past weekend and could not be more perfect for each other. Their love inspires me. Seeing them together is like watching Moulin Rouge... which I enjoy every minute of. I can't wait to see photos from the big day... Andy looked so smooth and handsome and Christina was absolutely unbelievably gorgeous.

Their wedding day was fun. First of course there was the ceremony... there I sat with 5 people... Shane, Jim, Dan, Nick, and Andrew. Then it was over and we had FOUR hours until the reception. So with the same 5 people, I went to Steak and Shake... then someone found a theatre playing Cloverfield nearby so with the SAME 5 people I went to see the movie. When that was over, with the same 5 people I went to the wedding... I was attached at the hips with these SAME 5 people ALL NIGHT LONG!

Not that I didn't enjoy everyone's company. I didn't know them that well but they were all uber nice... but I just think it's funny that all day we were together traveling in a pack everywhere we went.

But okay back on track here... the point is, we saw Cloverfield.

It was probably the best movie I'd seen in theatres since the last Lord of the Rings film. It blew my mind, it rocked my world, it made me dizzy. (if you couldn't handle the wobbly cameras in the Bourne movies, do not bother seeing Cloverfield) But despite the dizzyness... it was so awesome.

Though I think one of the reasons I was so impressed was because of the fact I had zero interest in this movie. It looked stupid in the commercials and then when I found out there was a huge monster in the movie... I was even more sure it was going to be the most lamest thing ever in the history of all time.

I.

Was.

WROOOOOOONG.

... Okay well I just had a whole big thing written out about why this movie was so awesome and somehow it got deleted and then Blogger saved the deleted version of my post. Way to go Blogger. You suck.

Well just know the movie is amazing. I've lost all inspiration to explain why... my thoughts have been taken over by aggrivation. Maybe I'll make another post later.

*folds arms, pouts, and walks away, giving Blogger the silent treatment*

Yay. Hawks won tonight in a shootout! Go team go!



So that pic was from a different night, but it's still awesome.

If you haven't seen hockey live, you haven't lived!

Work, friendship, and cranky people

So work was awesome on Monday night. It had been cloudy and dark all day long... I could smell the rain before it hit, it was obvious a storm was brewing. And when it did... all fun broke loose. We usually get done with work at about 8 or 8:30 but at around 6 O'clock, all the power went out due to the crazy storm outside. Thankfully, there were only two patients left... one was just getting a cleaning and the other was having a consultation... which Doctor did in the dark. The patients ended up leaving at about 6:30 or so and the rest of us stayed behind in case Doctor needed anything. He was freaking out and calling a ton of people about first getting oxygen to his fish tank... and second making sure that all of our equipment wasn't going to turn on in the middle of the night and be running all day... as well as causing problems with our security system. It became clear after a while that he didn't need any of us there, but we all stayed for an extra hour anyway, just talking and having fun. When all the lights go out and you're with people you enjoy spending time with... it's just wicked coolness. I hope the lights go out more often.

In other news... new friendship is just plain sweet. Lately I've been growing closer to my work friend Kristen. We spent like 3 hours at Taco Bell on saturday just talking about work and everything else under the sun. It was good times. I've also been growing closer to a friend Brian who lives in California. I first met him through Shane about a year ago and we didn't talk much. Now we talk a ton and it's so much fun. He's so awesome! I love new friends!!!!!!!!

But I do not like cranky patients. I had to work on a man today who was incredibly mean. It put me in a really bad mood. Today I was training a new assistant at work and it was not easy trying to explain things with this guy picking on me constantly and trying to make a complete fool of me. Every time Doctor left the room, this dude became evil and just plain cruel. The other assistant agreed... he was horrible. I just hope I never have to deal with him again. I don't understand people like that.

Planet Earth

The show everyone is talking about... and with good reason. Watch it if you haven't, it's breath-taking... God and his work... breath-taking.

Hello

Ok so I got tired of people not being able to leave comments for me on my xanga just because they don't have a xanga account. Sooo I decided to make a blog here where people can actually respond.

And in other news, I have not much to say. But Happy New Year! 2008 already. That's nuts.
