I love this quote, it's just plain awesome.....dude.....sweet.....totally......

Your awesomeness is magnified only by your ability to totally rule.
~Crush - "Finding Nemo"

Why do people always complain.....it seems like it has become a habit of today's society to just complain about everything and anything....why can't people be happy for a change....i mean we are fortunate that we don't live on the street, that we have food and are able to go to an awesome university....so people just remember "life is beautiful"....you just gotta believe it....remind yourself every day of the beauty that surrounds you even if it is a duststorm.....lol

An away message dedicated to me.......isn't that awesome.....Amy you rock!

I'm reading the book Integrating Chickens and Taking the Derivative of Water for Dummies
This away message is dedicated to A.A.A.! Isn't that great?!

Who wants to spend quality time with Snowflake Anni and Audrey the Awesome and will kindly escort us to their home where we can view the wonderful Disney Movie "Finding Nemo" together. (In other words pick us up so we can use your tv and dvd player)

So Audrey and I decided that for all the money Tech spent on the new Stadium they could install flatscreen TVs in everybody's dormroom. I mean seriously you live in your dorm for like 9 months and we only use the stadium like 6 times a year. 6 times!! Unbelievable.....for the price of the new stadium extension Tech could have bought 26,666 Gateway 42-inch ED Plasma TVs including DVD Players. Just think about that for a second.

Anyways, it's 7 o'clock and Audrey is in bed already. Strange, very strange...maybe this means that the world is gonna end tomorrow. Hopefully not cause I'm really enjoying life right now. Not much to do cause classes are over with, I had an awesome bday, the weather is nice and cold, I already got started on the Xmas shopping thing,I get to home to the land of the trees in a couple of days, Xmas parties with friends and Christmas is just around the corner, then maybe Houston Bowl and then New Years, then the next semester and I already know like 5 people in each of my classes. Awesome, Life is just sweet except for immature friends that give you a mouse and a fish for your bday if you didn't ask for them. Denis and Steven, just grow up please.

Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.

How Old is Your Inner Child?
brought to you by Quizilla

Just a couple more days til christmas break.......a well deserved christmas break. Then I get to drive home with Amy to Lake Jackson - Land of the Trees. Watch out Tahoe Ladies!!! Til then I still have a couple of finals - yuck- and my BDAY - yeah! All I honestly want for my Bday is snow. I miss snow. Snow rocks my socks off.....really. And we are not going on skiing vacation this year :( Personality test are fun if you are bored. Supposedly I'm all of the following.

Peaceful . . . Discreet . . . Non-Aggressive
You are easy-going yet discreet. You make friends effortlessly, yet
enjoy your privacy and independence. You like to get away from it
all and be alone from time to time to contemplate the meaning of life
and enjoy yourself. You need space, so you escape to beautiful
hideaways, but you are not a loner. You are at peace with yourself
and the world, and you appreciate life and what this world has to offer.

Analytical . . . Trustworthy . . . Self-Assured
Your momentary sensitivity represents that which is of high quality
and durable. Consequently, you like to surround yourself with little
"gems," which you discover wherever they are overlooked by others.
Thus, culture plays a special role in your life. You have found your
own personal style, which is elegant and exclusive, free from the
whims of fashion. Your ideal, upon which you base your life, is
cultured pleasure. You value a certain level of culture on the
part of the people with whom you associate.

You are Tweety.
You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that
no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and
seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are
witty, and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of back stabbers,
and you are worry-free.

You have selected pineapple.
You are quick to decide and even quicker to act. You are brave in making career changes; if that is what is to your advantage. You have exceptional organizing abilities and are undaunted by the size of the task at hand. You tend to be self reliant, sincere and honest in your dealings with others. Though you are not given to making friends very quickly, but once you do, it is for life. You rarely, if ever, make romantic overtures. Your partner is often impressed with your sterling qualities but disappointed in your ability to show affection.

Just a couple of quotes....

A hundred thousand words are flowers in the sky
a single mind and body is moonlight on the water
once the cunning ends and information stops
at that moment there is no place for thought.
~Han-shan Te-ch’ing

In other words, apart from the known and the unknown, what else is there?

When we attain reality, it is seen to be neither personal nor impersonal.
~The Song of Enlightment

The road uphill and the road downhill are one and the same.

Not to know certain things is a great part of wisdom.

Old River Mountain a slab of rock
that blue heaven’s swept to paint on
and written there an ancient poem
green letters worked in moss.

And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

I don't really like pink but that's ok

See what Care Bear you are.

Winter!!

So I got out my winter jacket and my snowflake hat and my scarf today because it was only 2 degrees (Celsius that is...) outside. I officially declared winter today. Yeah, I love winter. I just want some snow. Anyways, back to chillin, eating a dozen Krispy Kremes and watching TV.

Freezerburn is not doing any better :/ I hope he doesn't just die on me. I'm kinda really attached to him. Anyways, I hate immature people that call in the middle of the night screaming "Aaauuuudrey" on the answering machine and then try to apologize by adding a "Sorry Anika" at the end. Just for your info Steven, Audrey never wakes up but I do and I hate you. So anyway, nothing really interesting is going on except homework and tests of course. I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving. My mom just received tons of boxes of old toys we still had in storage in Germany. (This kinda means we are most definitely staying here) I'm sooo excited to go through my old toys and see what I can find, like pink carebears. Plus I finally get to sleep in our new house, which I helped to renovated over the summer but I left for Tech before we moved in. But most importantly I get to see my family. I really do miss them a whole lot. My lil crazy skater bro, who wears a beanie to an UIL Orchestra competition. My preppie sis, who spends 2 hours in the bathroom each morning getting ready. My mom, who throws welfare parties and sends me German chocolate. And of course my dad, who is just another crazy German Engineer like I am. : ( I really wanna go home now. But I guess I gotta go to physics lab first.

Just a couple of cool quotes.....

When Governor Lu was about to return to his office, he came to say goodbye to Nan-ch’uan. The Master asked him: “Governor, you are going back to the capital. How will you govern the people?”
The Governor replied: “I will govern them through wisdom.”
The Master remarked: “If this is true, the people will suffer
for it.”

Only that which does not teach, which does not cry out, which does not condescend, which does not explain, is irresistible.

There is no solution, for there is no problem.

Once a monk asked Master Yun-men, “When not one thought arises, is there any error?”
Yun-men said: “Mount Sumeru!”

So Freezerburn finally seems to be getting healthy again. Yeah, I love my fish. I hate Audrey Answering Machine though. Listening to people is fun and interesting, unless people call at 4 o'clock at night wanting to go to Krispy Kream!!!!! Denis! Steven! I hate y'all, and none of y'all apologies are accepted. Anyways, I gotta go to class, I get to listen to a survivor of the Holocaust tell her story. It's probably gonna get to me again, but I feel it's really important that I learn as much about the Holocaust as I possibly can.

I go;
thou stayest:
two autumns

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

Profile too small....grr

So since my profile is too small to put my quotes on there, I'll just put them here...

Study the Way and never grow old
distrust emotions; truth will emerge
sweep away your worries
set even your body aside

autumn drives off the yellow leaves
yet spring renews every green bud
quietly contemplate the pattern of things
nothing here to make us sad

Germany won the World Cup!!!

Just in case I haven't told you yet....Germany beat Sweden 2:1 and won the World Cup. Needless to say I was excited. Audrey probably still thinks I'm crazy for jumping up and down in the room when we won. : ) Anyway, the game was awesome and I gotta give the Swedish a lot of credit. They almost beat us. But you know when you play high class soccer and you get like 25 cornerkicks the ball gotta go in eventually. Germany just has an awesome offense. I mean a total of 25 goals and most of them were not off cornerkicks or freekicks. That's just awesome. I decided that I'm gonna declare Maren Meinert my hero. She is just sooo cool. Oh well, I gotta go and go to yet another meeting. Pretty insane when you have barely been in your room at all for like 2 days straight. But it's fun, I enjoy college life so much. I enjoy life in general. Oh btw Freezerburn turned into a pirana.

Yes!

It's finally over. And it wasn't too bad either. I really like my physics class, but I dreaded taking that test. Why do tests exit in the first place? Anyways, Freezerburn is digging his head in the ground, which is made up of rocks. It's official, he is nuts. I think his tumor his getting into his head. That reminds me....let me find a cup so I can put him in the microwave. :) JK. He might not be that crazy afterall, cause he is happily blowing bubble nests. Oh well, I think I'm gonna go climb. Last time I almost did most of the traverse. I was soooo proud of myself. Go Me! Oh and I did the Alien head too. I still haven't done the cliffhanger thing though. Anyway, Germany beat the United States 3-0 in the semifinals this weekend. Once again our goalkeeper was awesome. But the US was good too, it was 1-0 til like the 90th minute and then our awesome Maren Meinert and Birgit Prinz scored 2 extra goals. I felt really bad for the US team though, they played a good game, good game........ *sadly shaking head* So naturally Germany is gonna dismantle Sweden this Sunday. *grinning from ear to ear* And I'm gonna be one happy camper. Ok, study time for my German class.

Germany rocks!!!

Russia 1
Germany 7

Do I have to say anymore?? I mean Germany just plain dominated Russia. 20 goals so far. That's an average of 5 goals a game. And people say German soccer is too defensive. Who wants a piece of this team. The girls just absolutely rock. Birgit Prinz has a total of 6 goals. Isn't that great. :) We are so gonna dominate the USA on Sunday at 6:30 on ESPN2. And if not then there is gonna be a lot of dead people on Monday. Just Kidding, cause we are gonna win. Soccer is just so awesome and especially German soccer. Only on of those goals was a corner shot and the remaining six were all scored differently. So who is talking about German soccer being to defensive, that offense is just plain awesome. We dismantled the Russians. Mia Hamm better watches out. I mean we have Maren Meinert, Renate Lingor, Bettina Wiegmann and Birgit Prinz. I think that is all I have to say.

Freezerburn is lopsided!

So Freezerburn's tumor has been growing and now he is kind lopsided. Everytime he stops swimming, he will tilt to one side. It is really sad. But on the positive side - his tailrot is gone. Anyways, I'm gonna be the first out of our physics class to win the Nobel prize in physics. My teleporter is gonna be awesome. Freezerburn has to lean against his tankwall now so he doesn't fall over. :( My poor fishy........ I hope he doesn't die. So that's it for today, I gotta take my eco test tomorrow about equivalent uniform annual worth and capital recovery and such.

Life.....

Life is beautiful! You just gotta believe it. : )

FIFA Women's World Cup

So I was watching TV the other day and discovered that the Women's Soccer World Cup is going on right now. So of course I'm gonna be watching it. Germany already made it to the Quarterfinals, and the game I'm watching right now, Russia against China, is gonna determine who we play in the Quarters. And then it is on to the Semifinal against the United States, if the don't get eliminated by Norway. :) I'm so excited. I didn't realize how much I missed watching Soccer. I still suck at playing it, but soccer is still the best sport. Anyways, weekend was awesome, I didn't do a thing. Isn't that great?! Anyways, gotta go second half just started. Oh yeah, Freezerburn still has tailrot. I think he is getting old.

Exhausted!!!

Exhausted and burned out. That's all I have to say. I'm ready for a weekend of doing nothing. Oh yeah, Freezerburn still has not recovered from his tail rot. Stupid Fish. AAM also has not provide me we any good data lately. Except that people still state the time. Anyways, I went climbing yesterday and I managed to get a bleeding toenail. Now that's what I call true rock climber feet. I was rather proud of myself. : ) And yes I know I'm crazy. But they don't call me crazy German for nothing. Ok, study time for cal 3. I'm beginning to get this feeling that I'm gonna hate that class more than cal 2. Oh well.........Life is hard and then you die.

Freezerburn and his sicknesses!

So after discovering that Freezerburn has cancer, I also discovered that he had tail and fin rot. I went and got him some medication and he seemed to recover from it. Now that guy has a swimbladder problem. I honestly wonder what the next thing is gonna be. Well, maybe he is getting old. I only had him for half a year, but I don't now how old he was when I got him. So I hope he recovers, cause I really do like him, although I'm not a big animal person. He has really grown on me, heck I even talk to that fish. Lol, AAM went off again, and of course the time of the call was stated again just in Denver time. People never learn. On the other hand that person probably doesn't read my blog. I'll sent him a copy of my thesis about the AAM when I'm done. So this weekend was rather disappointing concerning the AAM, almost nobody called. :( So y'all better call Audrey when she is not there and leave an interesting message for my enjoyment. :) So that was Freezerburn, the AAM and oh yeah me. Nothing really interesting about my life. Cause remember I'm an engineer and I have no life and I can prove that mathematically. But anyways, climbing was fun yesterday, I managed to climb a 5.10+ which was pretty awesome. And after that I think I hit my first low for the semester. Hmw, Swe, Hmw, Swe, Tests, more hmw and more swe. That's all I have to say. BTW Eric, I like your AAM messages. They are rather creative. Anyways, gotta do some more SWE Stuff.
