Ask my to tell you a story, take a seat and I shall tell you a tale.
I go about my day looking for that tale, and other days, and more so this than not, that story comes to find me. I like that. I like that a lot.
Pieces of me say I should do something with this bit of enjoyment...

Spinning Circles
Glad to be back on the bicycle again!! That and the warm weather most certinly add perk to my days. Yesterday I managed to need to go across Boston, in shirt and tie, in the down pouring rain, with rain pants and a nice jacket, that was the least bit of a problem, got there and manged to stay completely dry, yay me!
My only complaint for the whole healh insurance thing that bugs me right now, is the new tax they are putting on it.. here is how it goes...
So I have X insurance from Home Depot. The policy covers me for $8,000.00. My parents have health insurance for the family that covers them for about $2,000. Obama taxes me on that amount, How much the insurace is worth, my private, I can afford it, I work for it, I pay for it out of my pay check, by 44% and that amout goes to the goverments health insuracnce,... so that means at the end of the year I have to pay $3520.00, and my parents pay $880, to pay for Other Peoples Healh Insurance,.... So then for me, why would I want to support myself by giving myself a higher insurance plan,... thank god I don't want to give the best I can to the family that I don't have.....

Public Transportation
Public Transportation, Like it? Sometimes, Hate it? Sometimes....
This Morning, I like to tend to grab a coffee from Dunkin Donuts in the morning prior to heading to class. Luckily for me where I exit my apartment, is in the middle of two bus stops, and at the mid point, is a friendly Dunkin Donuts. Unfortunately, as I poped out this morning there was a bus already at stop 1, leaving me enough time to get to stop #2. Granted I have a full load to carry today, backpack loaded, and my doctors bag, so I am not that fast. None the less I catch the bus, with being .10 cents short (my Monthly pass for some reason did not go through yet, ..hmm..) I now have to add $$$ to my card as I do not want another .50 cent vocher to take to DTCrossing to get my two quaters.
Lesson to belearned: Aproch a mobile termanal (bus, trolley, Push the WHITE BUTTON in the upper right corner, tap your pass, insert amount of money you want to add, push WHITE BUTTON again, and then TAP pass. You have now added funds to your CharlieCard on a bus or trolley. Now you can tap again to pay for your trip.
So I did just that.
The bus was quite full this morning, people kept getting on, and no one got off. I am practially sitting on the dashboard of the bus, we approch Coolidge Corner where as mass of people are standing, waiting to get on... and they will try, try to hard they well... As we aproch, I decided to open my mouth "I think we're gona need a bigger bus"
Bus driver replies, "nice! Jaws"... and floors it past the stop, haha! (side note, no one pushed the stop request button, so no one could argue that they wanted to get off there)
So that was a pleasant relief, But the next stop came across, someone wanted to get off, and there was someone there to get on. So we made the exchange. Two people get on, two of my "favorite characters"
The first one a young girl, around my age, a little older, dressed up for work. Dress, show-y leggings, heals that made her awkwardly tall (and quite unstable to add to my humor) red jacket (burbury, ughhh show-off), and YELLING one HER CELL PHONE! High Pitch, High Speed, High Volume= alot of pissed morning commuters, none the less, she was to ignorant and self absorbed, she didn't notice the vibe of hated aimed in her direction.
My second character, how can I say this politely and in a manner that is politicially correct,... the one that must sit down between between two stops, in an overly crowded bus, because she is entitled to. Ontop of that, she reminded eevveerryyoonnee oonn tthhee bbuuss ttoo cchhaannggee tthheeiirr cclloocckkss aass iitt iiss ttiimmee ttoo sspprriinngg aahheeaadd. wow
I got off at the next stop, to go to physics. Its always an event to go from point A to point B. :-) I like it though, always a story to tell...

Dinner for One
It never really botherd me to do dinner alone, even the movies I find enjoyable going alone. Currently in a little fancyish sandwich soup shop, one of those ones people flock to for the Wi-fi, and organic Tea, not going to lie,.. I am enjoying both right now. I think it is nice, and good to do for ones self, to treat ones self, in the company of justs ones self. We all need the thinking time, I know I do. I enjoy those moments, as much as I love my friends and persons I hold closely to me. Chris time is needed two, and why not in style! Its been a long week, or you have a lot ahead, splurge, you earned it. Go ahead and do dessert! bathe in good acoustic music! Breath in smells of good wholesome fresh food. Surround yourself in the conversation of other peoples good times and success, and join in your head. Dress up, dress down :-)
Always smile, People like to see that :-)

Pencils and Pens
Im a writer, by a construd and odd means. In that I would by a long push, prefer to write something down then type most things. I find certin digital medias cumbersom and less useful than a good old piece of paper. My calandar, is one of my biggest, must be paper devices, I have two paper calandars, a phone and a Google calandar, and of the four my paper conuter parts see me on a day to day, almost hour by hour by hour basis, while my google version, see me once a week, and my phone, which is a organ of my body, sees me the least. I find more pleasure in being able to actually write something down, I can put it exactly as I wishm in my own format and handwriting. To had humor, with my own handwriting, an imbeded code of confusion with my handwriting is added, as you should try to read what I write for only my eyes some time, as it can be quite puzzling.
What I write with though, is where I find my greatest joy. When it come to the world of inks, I like heavy bold dark and wet. My best pens for that a time and time again, the Pilot Precise V5, they come in an array of colorts plenty, and sold in all black and blue. Their tips are fine and needle like, and ink flow is heavy, but not flooding. My only grip, is that their constructions is oddly gasketed, and will tend to leak, almost garenteed to leak if exposed to intense temps. and most certinly if put through a wash. If you visit some of my shirt pockets, evidence lies there. Their look to is something I have a bit of pride for as well, simple. no curves, no guey grips all 90* angles, and they have componets that can be taken apart, to aid in idle times.
Pencils, I really do enjoy more often then I get the chance to use. Both mechanical and standard yellow. Mechanicals, are slightly less favored, only for that, the are to have a supply of rods, Ive yet to find a handle that I find sitting to my hand, and more often then not, they break in some manner. But their convience of not requireing a sharpener, proves to be a amazing thing time and time again.
I find a good old pencil a good thing to have in my book. I remember in high school, more so than right now (I'm in a pen mode lately for college, more so than pencil) there would be pencils out there, that were of a character of themself, some for instance would never sharpen, you could but you would always come out of the perfect sharp, for it to have broken the graphite as soon as you go to write, it would come out a broken piece. While others seemed to go through being shap too soon, and you seem odd going to the pencil sharpener by the door every too often. Here and there, was a good pencil, never purchased, and always found, and you would hold on to it intently.... ahh, a bit of joy in the day.

Happy Birthday Sarah
Happy Birthday to you Sarah!!
Happy 21!!
How is it thus far?
I had a most relaxing and enjoyable weekend this past weekend, as I was up in New Hampshire for Sarahs Birthday. I got my train tickets earlier in the week, and almost contimplated skipping my remander of classes for the week, and leaving at that vert instant. Thankfully for selfcontol, I was able to hold back abit and wait untill Friday afternoon. Fridays seemingly enough was open, in its entirety, allowing me to run a few errands before heading to catch my train, even though, I some how still managed to,... as I usually do now, be running on the platform of the train, catching it at the last moment.
The train, as it always is, was an utterly enjoyable experince best 1.4 hours of my week.
I arive, to the dining hall we swiftly mose too.
The rest of the weekend fallows as it does, lots of snacking, poking around on the computer, more eating, going to bed too early and staying in bed way too late.
A dinner at flatbreats,... if you ever get the change to be in portsmouth, or anytown that has such of that restaraunt, go there. Esp if you are one of those granola crunchy, eco-friendly, overly organic kinda of fun people, you'll like what they do, and it surely tastes swell...
Board games, and staying up past our bed times. Watching and making fun of the litthe niches of people we pass as we travel about here and there.
My favorite part of my weekend?
The Hugs

Research
Hey, heres something I have always thought was kinda cool, though, its not entirely what I am seeking in life as far as energy transmission goes, but induction charging is kinda quite cool, and not too too far from wireless powering. My first taste of it was when I bought my first electric tooth brush many years ago, and it charged simply by placing the brush on its little stand. There were no exposed electrical terminals.. but it somehow got electricty into it, wicked cool I thought. So now, more and more so, companys are using that same method for out common everyday electronics. imagine just having a pad on your desk, the size of a mouse pad with just one cord running to it, and you come home at night and simply place your iPod, Palm Pilot, Blackberry, your cellphone, your Mp3 player all on this place on your desk, and they begin to charge,... no plugging anything in.... well its here... and wicked cool!
