It's been a few days... okay, I know. It's been practically 9 years since I last wrote on my blog. Why? Well, I've been struggling with some personal problems, among them is a huge amount of laziness and lack of creativity. Despite this, I'll have you know that I swept and mopped my floor yesterday for the first time in (can it be) basically a month. Don't tell my mom. She'll make me move home so she can take care of my hygienic habits (or lack of).
I just wanted to share this with you. It's one of those really old, classic, been-around-the-block things that everyone's already seen, but I watched again this morning and basically laughed my pants off.
Enjoy. (Oh, and it's much funnier if you know Spanish.)

Eesma lashes
I woke up from my nap just now, and check this out!
Yes, my eyebrows need some work. But this is about something completely different! I slept on my eyelashes funny and they're all bent and twisted towards my nose! Wow. I look like Eesma gone wrong.

Hippie Town
Boulder Colorado
Population: 91,685
Elevation: 5,430 ft
Liberal capital of the United States
Qualifications for residency: Caucasian. Very wealthy and/or hippie. Own really expensive shoes and spend 80% of your time participating in/talking about rock climbing, mountain biking, running or kayaking.
Yes, my true love and I trekked the 8 hours through Fruita, Colorado (home of Mike the headless chicken), through the beautiful mountains
and the not-so-beautiful wasteland
and arrived in Boulder for Memorial Day weekend. Purpose? To run the infamous Bolder Boulder. One of the craziest 10k races that I know of.
We spent the weekend watching street performers, walking/people watching in pearl street mall, driving up the canyon, bike riding, drinking soy milk and eating purely organic foods, and watching drunk people dance like it was 1999. (I'm pretty sad that we forgot the camera for that part.)
During the actual race, you'll always find crazy costumes, Elvis impersonators, belly dancers (2 groups this year), and thousands of spectators added to the already 50,000+/- runners. Here's a bit of evidence.
If you can't read his sign, it says, "Tuggie my Snuggie." And yes. He ran the whole 6 miles in a snuggie. Why didn't I think of that?
The race was fun with spectators handing out cups of beer, bacon, tater tots and spraying us down with water guns to keep us all entertained.
And now we come to the after race bag they give out to the runners.
Contents: Organic chocolate silk, Powerbar brand energy blasts, Rice and Adzuki bean snack chips (made with all natural ingredients and natural salt flavor), apricot and mango soy bar, rice crispy treat (finally something I recognize!!), "Bear Naked" organic, all natural granola, and an orange. And don't worry. The bag reminds us that the athletes were powered by 100% renewable energy.
I've never felt so organic in my life.

Sonnet 18
I just found this poem that I wrote during my last final's week of my college career. I thought it was too good not to share.
Shall I compare thee to my geography book?
Thou art more strong and more intelligent
Rough exams to try the patience and the will,
And schools' lease hath all too long a date.
Sometimes too complicated the text's rambling seems
And soon is the shiny newness dimmed;
And every theory and current event out dates
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal wisdom shall not fail
Nor lose that witty charm thou possess'st
Nor shall the passing of time change thy truth
When gray hairs invade thy precious scalp.
So long as men shall reason, or dreamers dream,
Thy words more interesting than my text shall seem.

56th post
Yeah. This is it. I've finally reached my 56th post! I know you all are as excited as I am to see what I have to say on this momentous occasion.
Our printer is out of black ink
My OTL* gets super vision today
I made a yummy gooey chocolate cake last night and when I woke up this morning, it had fallen over
We're going to Boulder, Colorado next weekend for the Bolder Boulder! I love the Elvis impersonators and the belly dancers. Boulder is truly where my heart lies. :)
I love the sunshine.
Hope you're all having a happy day!
*Only true love. My dad's invention I'm pretty sure.
