like i've never seen the sky before

Yeah, I got up early today. Chester came by to pick me up, but he overshot my house so he had to back up a little, haha. First stop: Target. I picked up a coaxial cable, (which I later found out I didn't need) and redeemed a free soda cap I won a while back. Went to Best Buy to look at some car audio stuff, and saw Ben Butler there buying a head unit. Bounced from there to Fry's to look at some more car audio stuff. Chester got his line-out converter there, which is like half the price of every other place that sells one. Go pick up Tracy from cvhs, then head back out to Best Buy, but end up not buying anything. Chester says he's gonna go back to Fry's at a later date. Hang out for the rest of the day, and that was that.

Well it looks like watching tv and recording something else on my tv set is not a possibility. Boo. On the bright side, today in Dublin I saw a Suburban with Sprewell rims, haha. You know, the rims that keep on spinning after you stop.

Watched the Gilmore Girls, Smallville, and The Real World. For the second time, Trishelle and Stephen have decided not to sleep together anymore because Stephen isn't returning the feelings that Trishelle feels for him. How sad. Oh man Smallville was intense. Basically, Lana trusts Clark now and is sorry that she always questioned him. However, now I think their chances of hooking up has declined bigtime. She tells him stuff like "you've been the one good constant thign in my life" and "i've doubted you yet you're still here." I dunno about you, but that sounds like buddy-buddy pals good-friends talking.

"Now that the quarterback has returned, you're back at your own one yard line with Lana."
Hahaha, that's a pretty good one.

Looks like LAP grades came back for those high school kids. Apparently Ken got a perfect score. Anyways here are his 10 out of 10 introduction and concluding paragraphs that I wrote:

"Love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it." If we truly love someone, time and place wouldn't matter. True love is difficult to find and when we do, we're likely to get lost. Though the loves in our life are not always physically with us, you know it's love when you love someone without seeing them. Even if the love we find doesn't seem possible at first, if the love is true then eventually everything will come into place. Heartfelt love can surpass obstacles that appear before it. Through the interlacing love connections in his novel, The English Patient, Michael Ondaatje establishes that place and time themselves are extraneous to human connection.

In the relationships between Hana and the English patient, Hana and Kip, Almasy and Katherine, and Almasy with Herodotus we are able to see that time and place are irrelevant to human connection. In the stressful time of war, coupled with the fact that the characters lived in a war-torn villa, the last thing the characters would think about was love. Almasy desperately tries to keep his love connection with Katherine even though he can't reach her in the cave, or even after she dies. Thirteen years later, after Kip left the villa he still wonders about Hana half-way across the world. This heart-felt love surpasses even death, as the characters grasp onto their emotions even past the grave. These love relationships signify that place and time themselves are irrelevant to human connection. Long-distance relationships and lost loved ones, these connections, if truly heartfelt, have the ability transcend place and time. It is only the truth in our hearts that we are able to have such human connections that we hold dear to us, it does not matter if it's here or there, or now or then.

Oh boy, what beauty.
