Inspiration

My friends often inspire me to do things. A friend of mine was responsible for this journal, and now another friend of mine has inspired me to keep track of each and every site that I go to that I find interesting and/or useful. So, I have added a lot to my links page. If there are any sites that you do not wish to be placed in public view, cough Sharon cough then please let me know. I will be happy to remove them from my links page.

The best kinds of crushes I’ve had are the ones where I pick up some good habits off of spending way too much time with that particular person. One particular crush made me realize how wasteful it is to get bags after making purchases for, say, a single bottle of water, which I would immediately consume. Another has inspired me to brush my teeth regularly. There are, of course, many other people who do all these little things for me, make me want to be a better person. There’s this one girl who was in my AMS 301 class who always dressed very well. I don’t know how they do it, but some people can always look presentable. I wonder if they always purchase clothing in sets.

Rage Against the Machine has taught me to be more aware of those less fortunate around me, Sharon and Irene have taught me much about aesthetics, Eric and Ellen have made me more aware of how I fling money, Wendy has taught me that I should be more sensitive to others’ feelings, Christina has taught me that it’s okay to be a nut 24/7. Linda has taught me how to keep a friendship through time and space. Nikki showed me how to be down-to-earth. Greg has taught me that there’s nothing wrong with homosexuals. K.F.C. has taught me more than I ever realized when I was in her class about oppression, racism, sexism, and just about every -ism you can think of. Cindy showed me that it’s possible to be the coolest person in the world and yet still kick ass in school. My brother has made me realize all the mistakes that I have made when I was his age, my dad has inspired me to never gamble, my mom has inspired me to work my ass off.

Thank you, everybody. And forgive me if I left anyone out.
