yayyy my uncle!! hahah. i didnt know he was that accomplished until i read this. well, i knew he was a really good coach, but i didnt know he did all that for SDSU and such. pretty cool. i just keep running into amazing things that people do. people that i thought i knew a lot about. it kind of sucks how accomplishments fade away so quickly, only to be brought up again by someone who has done their research or knows you all too well. its like when you do lots of amazing things and sometimes don't even realize how amazing you are until you're writing your resume and all of the sudden you see what you have made of yourself and its just ridiculously wonderful. you can see everything you've been working for and how far you've come. sometimes you see what you're lacking. all in all, its good to just remember to look at the big picture sometimes. we get so caught up in our goals, the future, sometimes getting stuck in the past, but never really seeing it all together. thats why a lot of things seem transitory, because we just look at it from close up, from the present. things change, nothing stays the same, we think. but then if you look at everything taken together, you see there are some continuities, some common denominators. and you realize how amazing you are and how much you've accomplished. :)

what dreams may come
so i had a dream last night.
i just wanted to record it here because i thought it was really cool and worth remembering. so it started out at some kind of baseball game or something... big venue, sunny. i was there with friends, though i dont remember who. my parents were also there, screaming and having fun in the next section over. there werent that many other people there besides me and my family. now, my mom and dad were both wearing big wigs. my uncles and aunts were also there. uncle don was wearing a pink wig that was kinda punk-rockish and uncle rick was wearing a HUGE wig like marge from the simpsons. except it was light brown in color. they were all laughing at each other and yelling and such. it was fun. now, it seems that my grandmas house was actually connected to this venue. i went inside and people kept coming in and out from the other venue. my grandmas house seemed like a sort of "ramen museum" type place with no other customers but us. so this little old lady comes by selling ice cream cones with that clear gel goop stuff they sell in japan. and she can only speak japanese. my dad asks her how much they are in english of course and she doesnt really respond. so my dad says "free?!" and he just takes one. a couple other uncles follow suit and take some as well. i go over and ask how much they are in japanese and since no one else knows whats going on, i have to pay her. luckily i had my bag of yen on me?? and so i pull it out and the lady pulls out 4 coins that have my initials on them and say well you can just pay with this... so i said, oh ok great. but i still owe like 10 yen. so i shuffle through my bag and pull out a lot of different coins, none of which are 10 yen. eventually though i end up giving her a combination of 5 and 1's, though it took me a while to find the 1s. so then she asks me if i want my fortune to be read. i say sure. she takes a little more of my money and then says if i pay her a little bit more, i have to wait less. so i did. she puts it in her brown decorated box and kind of just waits for something to happen. nothing happens, so i leave. i come back and shes ready to tell me my fortune. she brings out a mirror from a velvet bag. its a heavy mirror that kind of reminds me of beauty and the beast or snow white. she tells me to look in the mirror. this scares me, but i do it anyway. i look in it and see myself. i look uglier than usual in the mirror, but nothing too out of the ordinary. then i see a flash of gray hair and turn the mirror a bit and see my aunt aiko standing there. now, i know for a fact she isnt in the house at the time, so it kinda freaks me out. i tell my grandma to look in the mirror but she says no. then, aiko walks in. i try to make her look in the mirror, but she doesnt want to either. she ends up doing it, but i never find out what she sees. at this point, my alarm goes off.
...now what the heck is that supposed to mean....???

i call this my "finals belt". when i sit down for a really long time (like when finals are going on) i get this huge red line that goes all the way across my stomach. its quite funny. when i look in the mirror and see this, it means: "go outside. stand up more often. be less lazy." haha. cant help it when finals come though. permanent belt for a week or so :)

glass slipper??
have you ever thought about cinderella's famous glass slipper and the practicalities of it.... its actually not.... very practical that is... i mean, for one its probably kind of heavy and uncomfortable. its hard, no padding. and my god, if it breaks... your foot is too. glass everywhere, and located underneath and all around your precious feet? wtf man. not cool at all. i mean it makes sense with the story cuz glass isnt really flexible so to wear a glass slipper, it does kind of have to fit perfectly.. but still.... very impractical in my opinion.
