The body is a prison
a trap of blood and bones
it keeps you wrapped inside
and will never let you go
It doesn't matter how much you plead
or beg to 'God' above
your 'prayers' simply go unanswered
I guess that's how He Show's His Love
As your family and friends around you
get to watch you whither away
your mind it fades inside you
you can't remember anyway
This is how it feels to get old
and ever so gray
I don't want to do it
I don't want to stay
I want to be young forever
in my prison body cast
I want to keep my memories
I want to make them last
I want to turn back the hands of time
and relive happier days
But alas this cannot happen
Something stands in our way
The Body As A Prison
It isn't up to you
Anyway

Summer 09
Yo. I'm back. I'm not going to say 'better than ever' or any of that crap, but I'm back. Back in Illinois that is, living with my folks. I'm tired of whining about living with them, I don't like it, and I know I have the power to change it... what I need now, is the willpower. If anyone hears of a full time job in the technical writing field.. please send a message my way. I'm willing to relocate if necessary. Thanks. ;)
I just got back from an amazing 2 week trip in Hawaii. It rocked. :D I saw the most beautiful beaches, mountains, oceans, and volcanos! Can you believe it? I stood right on top of a live volcano... it was amazing. There are fotos in my Hawaii album as well. My friend Ashley and I went snorkeling, clubbing, drinking, 'getting lit', and taking care of her cute lil puppies... Dawn and Buffy. Adorable!
I must say Hawaii is another country unto itself at times. It has noticable Asian themes in the cuisine as well as in the language itself. I tried a 'manapua' and a 'malasada' for the first time. A manapua is a tasty doughlike dish with any filling you desire inside. I think meats are the main ingredient for that. The dough can be yellow or pink sometimes due to food coloring. It's pretty fun. The malasada was this wonderful sugary doughlike dish, covered in sugar and stuffed with cremes from Bavarian, to chocolate, to vanilla, to whatever one's heart desired. It certainly spiked my blood sugar! Tasty, tasty, foods.
The weather there was pretty lovely. It has an even temperature for a good part of the day, and if it rains, it rains for a few minutes.. and then abruptly stops. Ashley informed me they are called 'sun showers'. After said showers rainbows form. And, let me tell you... I have never seen a brighter, fuller, rainbow in all my life. No wonder why the license plates have rainbows on them! :D
I consider Hawaii paradise. And, I would love to go back again. Guess I better start saving up, huh?
Did I mention we got tattoos! My first wrist tat! I've always wanted one, and now I want one on the other wrist. It's a blue cherry blossom flower. I love it. Ashley got a brown and pink musical note with a peace sign in the middle of the note part. It feels good to be rebellious sometimes.
Here is a list of the wonderful things I did there.... I don't feel like going into deep detail right now because I'm lazy... so here goes.
1. Snorkeled in Haunauma Bay, and Shark's Cove
2. swam around in the Halona Blowhole... gorgeous!
3. went on a day trip to the 'Big Island' aka Hawaii, where we saw the greenest mountains and smoke filled volcanos, waterfalls, and volcanic tubes.
4. went to a small hip hop themed nightclub (that night definitely got interesting) hehe
5. I took care of her lil puppies... and although they are high maintenence, I still want a pet when I'm out of my parent's place
Overall... I say... go to Hawaii people... you shan't regret it. :D
I plan on traveling more this summer. So, I'm gonna work at Potbelly's save up that cash, and continue on my search for a 'real' big girl job. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up with that anytime soon, but hell.. it can't hurt to attempt positive thinking... right?
As this summer continues... if anything of great interest occurs.... I shall blog it.
Until then, have a great summer everyone. Keep in touch.
