Advent Euphoria

Growing Pains

2007-05-06T05:41:28Z

I realized tonight that I have a lot of growing up to do. I've spent this year trying my best to do just that. I've tried to make some of you proud; I've tried to make some of you believe I was adult enough to be your friend. I've let many of you down. For that I apologize.

I felt stagnant as a developing person for a long time. I realize why that was: I was pushing myself into acting a certain way that wasn't me yet. I was doing and saying things on some sort of autopilot. I typically don't do well with things unless I understand the theory behind it.

Like calculus. I'll continue to do poorly in calculus unless I understand where the formulas and tricks come from. I can't regurgitate anything for long; it's never worked for me. Eventually my brain breaks down and I'll stop doing whatever it was I was regurgitating. And it'll land me in trouble. Tonight, that happened.

Instead of growing up, I regurgitated a more "adult" action. Not knowing what I did differently and backed into an old corner, I regressed and let myself get carried away; I snapped. It hurt someone I love dearly.

So I guess I'm writing this as an admission. I'm writing this as a mile-marker on my road of development. This is hopefully one place in my life I'll never have to look forward to see again.

For those of you who cared to read, I've listed a few things I think I need to work on, in no particular order...

Temper. This has been a skeleton that just won't stay buried for me. Not to offload all the blame, but my parents were just about the worst teachers a kid could have.

Depression. I was in remission for the better part of last year. Jen has helped with that immensely. But every now and then, especially when I'm all alone, it creeps back in and it gets bad.

Attention. I have a hard time occasionally on focusing to one particular task. My mind runs a mile a minute for most of the time and slowing down enough to pay attention to any one thing gets hard.

Memory. This goes along with my pseudo-ADD. If I'm not focused I only remember about 20% of what I should. I want to do better, but I have issues. My goal: to remember a complete conversation, from start to finish, by the end of the summer.

6 - the Questioner

Thanks for taking the test !

you chose CY - your Enneagram type is SIX (aka "The Loyalist").

"I am affectionate and skeptical"

Questioners are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family,
friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved
and timid to outspoken and confrontative.

How to Get Along with Me

Be direct and clear.

Listen to me carefully.

Don't judge me for my anxiety.

Work things through with me.

Reassure me that everything is OK between us.

Laugh and make jokes with me.

Gently push me toward new experiences.

Try not to overreact to my overreacting.

What I Like About Being a Six

being committed and faithful to family and friends

being responsible and hardworking

being compassionate toward others

having intellect and wit

being a nonconformist

confronting danger bravely

being direct and assertive

What's Hard About Being a Six

the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind

procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidence
in myself

fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of

exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger

wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right

being too critical of myself when I haven't lived up to my expectations

Sixes as Children Often

are friendly, likable, and dependable, and/or sarcastic, bossy, and
stubborn

are anxious and hypervigilant; anticipate danger

form a team of "us against them" with a best friend or parent

look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authority
and rebel

are neglected or abused, come from unpredictable or alcoholic families,
and/or take on the fearfulness of an overly anxious parent

Sixes as Parents

are often loving, nurturing, and have a strong sense of duty

are sometimes reluctant to give their children independence

worry more than most that their children will get hurt

sometimes have trouble saying no and setting boundaries

When a game's not a game...

2007-03-21T15:38:42Z

I rolled my ankle today playing HvZ. Hardcore. Now, I'm gimped for the rest of the game, if not for much long after. So here's the plan: I'm a meatsack. I'm not going to try to attack/extraneously-defend myself anymore. School and my ability to transport my sorry buttocks between classes is much more important than this game. No more stupid paranoia or long-evasive-trips home.

WHO WANTS SOME?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. It's that time of year again. When men forgo all their other obligations to watch the greatest game on earth: American FOOTBALL! That tried-and-true knock-down-drag-out beat-'em-up that millions of people watch and billions of dollars exchange hands for.

This year it's the Indianapolis Colts vs the Chicago Bears. Who the hell would have thought?! Certainly Vegas was sick and tired of seeing the AFC regular Patriots back in the proverbial ring. Instead, Tony Dungee and his AFC all-stars face Lovie Smith (Kind of a gay name; don't you think?) and the best-of-the-rest NFC.

Super Tecmo Bowl has determined the winner to be none other than...

The CHICAGO BEARS!

Horrid. Absolutely horrid. The NFC has swiped the Lombardi Trophy and marred it's shimmerene surface.

I think it's time to watch some beer commercial re-runs now...(Oh, and don't let me forget to videotape this year's GoDaddy ad; ok?)

5 Things You Didn't Know About Me:

I strongly dislike the color combination of turquoise/orange. Oddly (and disappointingly) enough, those are my high school graduating class colors; thank you, Shane Finnin.
I have a distaste for roller coasters, bungee jumping, and hang-gliding but would love to go sky diving; and I don't know why.
I have well over $1000 in Lego's at home. And I have built my most recent model over this Christmas break; it comprises around 50-75 pieces and took over 28 hours to design and build.
I believe the swallows really do return to Capistrano, someday Sylvester will catch Tweety, Wylie will catch the Road Runner, and we will all be thankful to Jack Bauer when Armageddon comes because he will kill the son of the devil, have sex with Lady Liberty, then have a cigarette and blow smoke in Jesus' face.
I am Kaiser Soze.

A Little bit of Life

2007-01-01T22:48:18Z

Wow, Pitt campus is dead when school's not in session. It's a wonder this place doesn't turn into a ghost town! Anyway, as you might expect, I'm back at Pitt awaiting the glorious (I do mean glorious) return! (B.t.w.: Caribou Coffee has good coffee & free wifi. You should check it out.)

Break wasn't bad, except that I didn't have internet the whole time. Talk about withdrawal syndrome, I was going nuts! On top of that, the home comp. is again infected with some really nasty mofo virus. Ugh! I can't keep fixing the dang thing every time I come home. Oh well, whatever. I'm going to do it for the rest of my life if I do IT work, so I better get used to it. (However, I'll get paid to do it when it's my job!)

I got the grades back: B, B, B-, C. Not the greatest, but definitely better than I thought I was gonna get in CS1550 & CS1501. I could have done better if I'd have taken them separately, and/or didn't have any other classes, but I'm not going to complain! I don't have to even think about those classes again!

So Wednesday begins the work-week, and I'll have more time since I'm not doing two programming courses at once. I'm so friggin' thankful for that. Now all I have to get through is CalcII (again) and Stat1000 (again). Eh, I'll make it. I can't do any worse than Constantine Zelatore & that witch from Stat. Wish me luck!

Happy new year, and take care,
Zack

Thoughts at 3am.

2007-01-01T22:24:06Z

What amazing revelations you can have at 2am! Ok, so I might be a little apnea-induced drunk, but take what you can get. I decided my mental exercises needed to be carried out in conversation, even if one-sided; so, here goes.

Women hold words over guys' heads. This isn't to say they literally shame us males that they're better with speaking; rather, it is to say that they have a higher capacity for manipulation of language. And, they use it. It's not for one-upmanship, that's too low for civilized people. It's just a fact, I think. I think men all too often resort to violence when they can't get their way because it is a means to an end; albeit not the greatest or most civilized one, it works. Because we know we can overpower women in at leat one arena, we prefer to challenge them there. Women, in civilized society, have had the advantage of language, and the protection of chivalry. This is to say 'civilized' men will not stand for extreme, unprompted abuse of the female kind; in fact, men found culturally guilty of domestic abuse are held in less high a regard as another man who has not trespassed this politically correct boundary. This, I insist, is a necessary requirement of civilized men and should be held sacred.

I step back and consider what it is to be 'civilized' in this moment. (Feel free to skip ahead.) Says Word 2003: "Enlighten, educate, advance, develop." Society is not civilized because we are more advanced; nor are we civilized because we are more developed. We are no more 'enlightened' than Copernicus was in his time. There have been no Great Revelations, no theophanies. Instead, what we can attribute our civilization (as verb) on is our education. We recognize that gender results from a flaw in the genetic makeup. Two X’s mean a girl, one Y for a guy. The male genetic chromosome collects more genetic flaws, and consequently will therefore incur the End of Man (and the Rise of Lesbians?).

We men have been so educated that women are our equal, in rights to own property, vote, and drink and be merry. This learning has yet since been left untied to how we look at the one last grotesquery of male attitude: savagery in dispute.

The task then becomes how to overcome this, and there are several solutions. There is the ostrich principle, and we can forget our worries and our strife; or, we can insist to take another hundred or so years to develop the attitude for change in our attitudes; or, finally, we can take action now and recognize what chivalry once brought us: civility (as in “to advance”).

I collect these thoughts at 3:17AM on Wednesday, the 20th of December. I consider my thought experiment only opened, possibly ready for discussion, and definitely nowhere near the end of my contemplation. I hope to dwell more on this at a later time, but aching eyes and promises need to be kept before slumbering.

Ok, so here's the obligatory post-finals survey...

2006-12-16T23:22:33Z

CS1550: C
CS1501: C/-
Myth Symbol Ritual: B+
Russian Fairy Tales: A/-/B+
Philosophy: B+

So it's the end of Semester the Fifth, and the scores are being tallied. I'm ready to be done with both CS1501 and CS1550 for the rest of my life if I can help it. Needless to say if I get a C or above I'm NOT going to retake either of the damn classes.

Mom's coming tomorrow, 10:30 AM, so I gotta stay sober; otherwise I might just be piss-drunk off my rocker at this moment.

Otherwise, I'm ready for the two-weeks' break; I'll get to see family and not have to be distracted worrying about all kinds of schoolwork and projects and programs (other than ones I'll want to write) every other minute I have.

So I'll catch you all later, and I just might catch you while I'm at HOME!

Thorns of the Heart

I see you standing,
Rain in your hair.
I wonder why you're staring,
Off in the midnight air.

No one to hold,
No one to care.
No one to see,
The pain we share.

He cuts you so deep,
Then you bleed on me.
You run to my bed, my arms,
For the lovin' you need.

But it's the same old story.
You'll want him again.
But soon his wound will be
To deep for me to mend.

(c) 2005

To all the guys out there: tell your girl, this very moment, that you love her. Dry her tears, kiss her cheek, and bandage her wounds. Everyone needs to hear they're loved, that they're needed. Every little thorn you leave in your woman's heart will fester when unattended to. Love them softly.

To all the girls out there: tell your man you need him. You hide your wounds so well; we give you such great practice. But now is the time to do us a favor: speak up. Tell us where it hurts. Tell us the places we need to 'kiss and make better.' We love you so much we can't begin to say.

Bleed

Nothing is simple anymore
I've made it all so damn hard
I thought you could be the one
You thought that I'd come undone.
Now all I wanted was you,
Just for you to see me.
I thought we'd give it a try.
You thought that I should just die.

(Chorus)
Why won't you give us a try?
You won't even look at me!
You turn away when I cry,
You'd turn away if I bleed. (on verse 1: if I bleed X2)

So now I'm lying awake
Waiting for that phone to ring
It seems I'm only myself
When there's no reason to sing.

(Bridge)
Pick up the phone, because

Chorus

And I bleed, and I bleed, and I bleed!
You don't know, you don't care.
But I bleed, yes I bleed, yes I bleed!

Short of Breath

I think of how it used to be;
I'd cry and complain about everything.
Now it seems so long ago, oh so long,
And it stops me short of breath.

(Chorus)
When will I breathe again?
When will I get out of this hole I'm in?
Why'd you go and leave me so far behind?
No answers to the million questions in my mind.
So I just keep dreaming, I keep repeating, I just keep thinking...

All these images play inside my head.
They keep going around and around again.
It makes everything so hard, so damn hard,
And it stops me short of breath.

Chorus

Now I'm sittin on the edge, on the cliff of sanity,
Wondering why I'm here and you can't be.
I wanna shout so loud it breaks the sky!
Just tell me why... It stops me short of breath

Chorus X2, fade

Untitled (For a Friend)
Dear Friend, I've found a wondrous wonder
to keep your heart from pain 'n' plunder;
this thing be borne of my own blunders.

A mantra, this, of mine creation;
a chant of love - and salvation;
to be continued in every nation;

"Love thyself, my farrowed friend;
loving another before, I contend,
is destined towards a bitter end."

This poem, verse, a mystery shrouds,
like sun's rays behind rain clouds.
I cannot preach, nor do announce

a higher status myself achieved,
no, rather, just surely now I see
that me, before two years or three,

I had been. And now I am
grown up, they say, but, really, can
I repeat them and truly stand

up as He Who Would be Stable,
worth his salt and truly able
to carry out this modern fable?

A distance of great and vast dimension
separates my new from old intentions;
a space my hope insists is never mended.

Seventh Inning Stretch

This is the seventh inning stretch of vacation: Saturday night. It's the last chance to party before the reality of school once again lurks around and haunts your dreams. Tonight it's become real just how close X-Mas break is, and how close we are to the end of this semester. It's crazyfast!

Just think, in three weeks we will be back home. Snow will be on the ground. You will be once again subject to the tendency of overeating. And school will be a distant memory for a mere seven days.

But we're not there yet, and vacation is still on. Including tonight, which includes a whole lot of nothing. Facebook and Slashdot can only entertain so long. So now it's all about wasting time until that trip to Pittsburgh...and Philly(!).
