Higher Consciousness Exists

Higher consciousness exists
Every time I use my lips
To express my love for you
It's Creator speaking through
Me; Im just a telephone
Even when I make you moan
It is His voice in your throat
In every word I ever wrote

We are channels for THE source
Like a river runs its course
There is no denying light
Stars still burn in frozen night
For the ones who aren't aware
Open desert may look bare
Underneath you see the life
Meaning for the harshest strife

I just submitted my grad school application...

Here is a sketch describing the process:
Now I just need to remember how to work... hmmm..

Prop 8: The Musical

Yeah! Think of all the money! Gay marriage will save the economy! This short vid is pretty entertaining. See Jack Black as Jesus. You know you want to.

The Muse

The Muse

Foolishly I gave away your title
To someone who could never bear it’s weight
Sculpted her into a golden idol
Misused the stars to help create false fate
Illusion can seem real through eager eyes
With second glance the image disappears
The truth so bleak that I preferred the lies
Composing music ears would never hear
I held her close and told her she was God
Ignoring that your presence dwells in all
My righteousness was only a façade
Its writ that pride will come before a fall

The inspiration I could never choose
It’s Consciousness itself that is the muse

Econmy woes hit close to home

So remember when you were young and you thought that you were invincible. Well, I'm sure plenty of us figure with the economy tanking that we wont be affected. I know I did. It turns out I was wrong. There's a chance that come February I wont have a job and from now to then I have to take a significant pay cut (everyone at my work is) =P

Why am I sharing this with you guys? While my boss was talking to the company he started asking how many of us have friends that have been affected by the economy woes...sure, one guy knows a guy and so does another, but none of us had really heard anything significant. He said feel free to share because people talking about these things help make change.

So there you go. First I thought to myself, "things are bad if Washington Mutual gets hit..." then I thought "man, if my job gets hit..."

There's a chance we'll be able to stay open if we can find an investor, but unfortunately with the economic climate the way it is, people are not exactly lining up.

Sorry I've been out of the loop. Internet was down, had to work while in LA. Thanksgiving madness, party madness...sigh. The party was a blast though, I'm just sad no one from the cup could be there, but that's how it goes eh =)

Anyways, I have faith, I know things will work out fine and well. I've already chatted with my family circle, Evelyn, my mom and Belen. Evelyn is still moving up, she'll just be chief accountant for casa de flores because I've always been bad with my money.

So hey what do you know! You all now officially know someone who has been hit by the recession, which ironically enough was just announced yesterday when I got the news.

Oh yeah, and sorry Ron, looks like this will be my last month at the YMCA for now...so let's make it good eh?

Bay Turkey Roundup

What's up people? The cup has been rather quiet from all our traveling, holidays, birthdays and such. Hopefully it'll pick up again this week. For now I'll give you all the bay update. We're back in Berkeley after our trip to Sebastopol. Sydny and her Dad were able to build my concept for a doorway thing for the top of the stairs, so Edward will be back at our place sooner than we expected, which is cool.

I beat both Half Life 2 and HL2 Ep1 this past week and I'm a little bit into HL2 Ep2. I really liked the part where you get to control the giant crane and can drop shipping containers on the bad guys. Overall the games were pretty enjoyable, but there were a couple parts that were extremely frustrating/annoying and the plot was lacking. Both games end with explosions and leave you having no idea wtf is going on. That's pretty poor storytelling if you ask me. Still good stuff though.

Hit up some cool weekend deals from amazon via cheapassgamer. Me and Syd picked up copies of the new WoW expansion since it was so damn cheap ($26 from regular price of $40). We also picked up copies of Warhammer Online to check it out ($11 from regular price of $50). The WoW expansion price is still the same today if anyone wants to pick it up, but Warhammer is $20 today though. There's some other cool deals too, like Guild Wars for $10. Dan what did you pick up?

Syd's parents picked us up a tv converter box and I am pretty impressed. We got a buttload of channels now and they all come in crystal clear. I'm curious how long the digital signal has been available. Anyone have any idea? As some of the channels claimed hd programing the idea of hi-speed internet over white spaces seems much closer to reality.

Hope everyone had a great time this holiday weekend. Anyone down for some WoW tonight?
