Bad Girls

written by owen, published 2012-Dec-14, comment

Sometimes I wonder what life would like without car troubles. I bet the earth would be overrun by bicycles and monkeys. Monkeys that wear shoes. Live fast die young.

There is this new experience that I have had recently which involves sitting in a dark bus when someone pulls out a ipad. Its like someone is shining a flashlight into the corner of my eye at very close range. They flip through some old books that they want to read, bring up a random game before closing it when they release that they have seen it all before.

The difference between the things you have and the things in front of you is often a matter of taste and not necessarily a fact based in reality.

If I Wanted Someone

written by owen, published 2012-Dec-02, comment

I did not do anything last weekend. I spent it re-playing a single stage in a video game and washing clothes that I should have washed 3 weeks ago. Diminishing returns. My usual grind would be to hammer away at a complicated problem in a side project that I have been working on for six months or more.

There is always a way. I will figure it out eventually or I will stop as soon as I start.
There are moments in my life just between the moment I wake up and the point I go to sleep; where everything that is happening has absolutely nothing to do with me. These are perfect moments. You won't achieve everything you set out to do. Sometimes there is too much static.

It is interesting how when I meet old classmates they ask me if I still have "owensoft". It is almost as if I got pregnant in high school and I became THAT GIRL with the belly. I am running out of clever answers. Maybe it is my fault. Maybe I should have participated in more club activities. Eat my eggs in one basket. Been a little bit taller - I could have been a baller.

Volcano

written by owen, published 2012-Nov-20, comment

Its almost christmas like its almost summer if the world doesn't come to a fiery end. Everything gets a chance to be almost. There is a limited amount of time and space and effort. You can't be in 2 places at once. You can't drive 2 cars at once. Its against the laws of physics.

Real time is the only way to live. Things are happening right now all over the world at the exact same time. What ever you are waiting for isn't going to happen anytime soon and probably never will. Like a monkey waiting for winter in the african desert. Chasing pavements.

Its not hard to find myself annoyed. I get annoyed when people use the word "bunch" to refer to anything but bananas. I would rather you use the world "set" or "a couple". Bunch should be strickly reserved for bananas and maybe plantains.

The Top

written by owen, published 2012-Oct-26, comment

I have or feel like I have been hanging out at the local cheap fast food restaurant for the past 3 weeks. Eating under cooked fries while watching people go about their business and trying to guess what flavours they will mix at the soda machine. That dude is clearly a pineapple + grape man. That woman is only eating here because this is the closest food place in walking distance. Mek sure better than cock sure.

In life you either do or you don't. The only guarantee is that you will survive the things that don't kill you instantly. The rest will just keep killing you slowly. Nothing stops. Everything is rolling toward entropy. Life is about opportunity and patience and other things which you will understand when you are older.

There is nothing like a loaded gun or a monkey. Sometimes I get so annoyed at seeing faces I know ( but can't remember) while walking around a large supermarket. At which point I will wear sun glasses in-doors. The ability to see the bright side of a situation is something most people have an inability to envision. My brain is was simply not designed to remember anything but my current projects and boobs.

Good Vibrations

written by owen, published 2012-Oct-03, comment

There is nothing like working on a project, putting in the time and effort to make sure everything turns out good. But at some point something can happen that will totally destroy your good vibes. I am seriously annoyed. Like the worst thing that could possibly happen. I feel like one of a million little baby sea turtles that have just cracked out of a shell and started to run across the beach to the ocean only to get eaten by hungry birds.

I am sitting in the dark, its totally ok if you want to come with me and feel my bones. Sometimes I walk up the street to the nearest fast food shop, not because I have to but because I like to feel the sun on my face. I think you get vitamin D from it or so they say. Monkeys.

I seem to have forgotten how to make a picture black and white. I always get hung up on deleting pictures from my camera. Especially now that they have these big memory cards that have infinite space. I would sync the files to my computer but I am unable to delete them because I have to find the time to go through them and mark the best ones as favourites. Because there is nothing worst than when someone wants to look at you cool camera and you have nothing on it but bad pictures of your feet.
