wowzers.

i just took a five hour nap. oO;; that's a good night's sleep for a lot of people. in that time i should have been doing a crapload of things. in fact i should still do those things. but instead i am blogging. i had a feeling this would consume my life. :[

so right now i am having an interesting conversation with someone via Youtube comments. They made a video of John Legend's song "If you're out there". Problem: they used 'your' instead of 'you're'. so i commented that he should change the spelling. if you want to see the whole conversation it's on http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=8PEVRGwxt9Q the last comments on the page. i was trying to be educated without sounding like a pompous asshole. i hope i dont come off as the second thing. :[

i am now going to go watch an episode of heroes and postpone math further. specifically to this weekend. and the lab. i refuse to do the lab right now. stupid bio can kiss my posterior. otherwise i finished all the other stuffs i have to do. hopefully no reading quiz tomorrow on Macbeth Act III... gotta say... i did NOT remember litotes. that word looks like 'lit notes' squished together. heeeheee.

john said that i am the source of his happiness. and sayo's image of me being a fountain of happiness inside the room inside of his chest made me laugh. =] it was great.

Four Noble Truths of Buddhism:


1. The Nature of Suffering (Dukkha):"This is the noble truth of suffering: birth is suffering, aging is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and despair are suffering; union with what is displeasing is suffering; separation from what is pleasing is suffering; not to get what one wants is suffering; in brief, the five aggregates subject to clinging are suffering."
2. Suffering's Origin (Samudaya):"This is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination."
3. Suffering's Cessation (Nirodha):"This is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it."
4. The Way (Mārga) Leading to the Cessation of Suffering:"This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration."

...just thinking about true religion jeans. I don't think i agree with the whole... desire = suffering... because sometimes you get what you desire. especially if you work hard...
