procrastination at its max!

countdown: 2 papers (one is overdue =P), and 4 finals to go til year 2 term 1 is over!
oh! cant forget the 3 more santa claus parades, and 1 recording session!

fast eh? yup.

going back to a few posts (beginning of summer), i wrote how i blog when i procrastinate. well, here i am now. stupid papers. i dont wanna write this 8-10 page paper on the great wall of china for my asian history028 class. ughhh... i'll get to it... eventually. haha...

so where to begin with my thoughts lately? there's quite a few categories. lets start with music!

MUSIC (www.last.fm/user/shnickyfan)
so ever since msn came out with "show what you're listening to", ppl have made quite a few comments on the songs im listening to. like, do ppl AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME im 'relating' to that song's lyrics just cus im listening to it? just cus i enjoy a certain genre of music, and that genre usually has lyrics about the same thing, it doesnt mean i relate to the music. for example... i like listening to slow jams. westlife. boybands. cheese in general. why? cus i think it sounds good. its amazing background music. and its generally about love. but that doesnt mean im thinking about love. its just great music i enjoy in the background. most of the time, im in my room doing a puzzle, playing a game, etc. you can ask me to recall the lyrics of a song. i can maybe tell you some selective words, but do i know what they mean? no. like... this is something i've trained myself to do from the beginning. for secular music, i tune out the lyrics. i listen to secular songs for the beat or melody or whatever else but the lyrics. since i also listen to hiphop for the awesome beats, those songs are generally about sex or something related to it. also, often containing swearing. so i tune out the lyrics. which is in a way bad, cus sometimes i tune out the lyrics for worship songs too. haha.. but i dont tune em out during worship. cus the lyrics are right in front of your face on a screen. but ANYWAYS, the point is, here is my explaination of the music i listen to. just cus i feel like listening to a song, does not mean i relate to the lyrics and want to listen. i honestly just like the melody or need music of that genre in the background playing. next topic!

HEALTH
so ive been not too healthy lately. been so busy with school work, i actually havent been to A&P in like 2 weeks. im NOT LYING. so what have i been eating? clearing out what i have in the kitchen, and eating on campus i guess. ive only set foot in mcdonalds ONCE and i only bought ONE chicken snack wrap. so that means im either eating unhealthily, or starving. well, ive been eating my box of cereal too. what else do i have in the kitchen? frozen stuff, canned stuff, and more frozen stuff. and frozen stuff = dumplings, chinese dishes (like... "soong".) + cook rice, and white ppl frozen stuff. hmm... i guess once this overdue history paper is over and done with, i need to hit up A&P and buy some proper food and fruits and veggies. and it doesnt help that im parading my drum around southern ontario for a good 4 weeks. lol... i need to keep my health up and not get sick. weather's getting colder. but at least i get my sleep. good that i sleep and rest up. bad that sleep cuts into academics time. but hey, i get my sleep! haha...

SPIRITUAL LIFE
so for a good while now (and by that, i mean since grade 8), i have NOT done daily devos. but rather, i do devos when i feel like i want to learn. i realized that when i forced myself to do daily devos, i didnt look forward to it, and i did it "just because' and of course, i did NOT get anything out of it. lately, i havent read the Bible much. but rather, everytime im deep in thought (which is in the shower, before i go to sleep, when i wake up, walking to bus stop, walking back, walking from class to class / around campus, basically anytime im alone), i spend all those times talking to God. thast pretty much prayer right? but instead of the typically 'bow your heads, put your hands together, close your eyes' dealio, its more of a 'convo with God' time. i guess its not so much im searching for God, but rather sitting back, talk to Him, and let Him reveal what He wants me to see / know. and as mentioned in my previous post, im still in touch with my high school friends. often in our sharing emails, there will be a passage or two. so i'll look those up and see what i can get out of those passages. =) guess im taking a new spin on ways to keep that spiritual life up. learning everyday!

FACEBOOK
its not so much stalking, but keeping in touch. i realized i only have like.. 4 ppl from band on my msn list. and they're all from the drumline. haha... so facebook is the way to go i guess! refer to http://dynequilibrium.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html i posted this last year. and guess what? now i have found 3 ppl from c4c in band! and one of them is in the drumline with me. =) persistence in prayer, and God provides. its always so hard when you're alone and the only Christian (or thats how i felt last year in band). not to mention the only asian. but its changed this year with new additions. and im glad to say my attendance in band has been perfect since... early october? =) yay band! cant wait to see whats gunna happen!

OTHER RANDOM MUMBLE JUMBLE
i dont know what else... well, there are things on my mind. but not stuff i would like to share about on blogger. haha... see... my mind is always overloaded with things OTHER THAN academics. lol! ok... enough procrastinating. back to my paper. haha...
