If you are less than eleven hours away from the beach, 
I envy you because I am eleven hours away from the beach 
and I would do anything to get just a bit closer.  I want 
that air and that heat-- so, yeah, a hot beach please.

death to parents Okay so my parents filed divorce papers a month ago. I guess it could be final soon. I wonder what the point of family is? I guess it's whatever I want it to be. I took my fourteen-year-old sister to the California with me. She's a riot. I don't see a point in ever losing her.

She used to draw these little comics. One where a guy is wearing sunglasses in a limo and he calls his wife and tells her these stories about how he's going to go start a church in Florida. The wife is totally crying and going crazy the whole time. You can tell the guy's just having fun and he's not going to start a church or anything. It's funny too how every time she gives me a comic I laugh loudly but then she just looks down and says, "Nah they're stupid." So I don't ever want to lose her.

I really want to move out of web programming and get back into software. There's something that's more fulfilling about app development. Maybe it's memory management. I think it's just a preferance for C (and a growing appreciation for C++) above Java and server-side scripting languages. Maybe it's just a "grass is greener.." kind of thing.

Oh, who cares? Blah blah. I'll cheer up in a couple months and post some really darling entries about unicorns and stuff. If you want to talk: _why on irc.openprojects.net.
