Always thinking. Always dreaming.

  1. So what if I’ve Never Seen the Matrix

    Sarah Friedlander: we’re watching the matrix
    Sarah Friedlander: cuz umm
    Sarah Friedlander: i’ve never seen it
    Sarah Friedlander: dont make fun of me!
    Mike Sassman: I am temporarily stripping you of your nerd-dom
    Mike Sassman: you are now geekless
    Mike Sassman: Sarah Friedlander: noooo

  2. Work and Life Update

    Tonight was a lot better than last night. I got most of my homework done and did some work for powerpage.org. This weekend I’ll be in Delhi with for my sister’s Open House. Thursday night I want to watch a movie …. (matrix, y tu mama tambien, abre los ojos or something that i havent seen that you all thing i NEED to watch because i’m so film-deprived)…. we will see. time to go curl up with my pillows. night.

  3. Homework Obsession

    Maybe Brock is right. Maybe I need to stop concentrating on just homework. I need to stop stressing. What is really important in life? I don’t even know how to go about describing the events of the weekend. A lot made me think this weekend. I want to spend more time with the people that I care about. But seriously … all I want right now is a hug.

  4. Pain

    So today I was getting in my car to drive home from the honors banquet. I was kinda off in a daze and managed as I opened my car door to bang my lip and upper gum into the door. Major bleeding and a big puffy fat lip. I was distracted driving home because of all the blood. This has so not been my week. Hopefully my meeting w/ my boss tomorrow will cheer me up. That and a lot of homework. Night.

  5. Overworked

    I woke up at 4:30 AM this morning after I had a nightmare about a homework assignment. Who ever has nightmares about homework? So I’m back to work. I got an image for persuasion class. I did my imaging science paper. I did my imaging science lab. I’m working on my persuasion logos essay paper. i need an outlet, something to relax. I want someone to talk to that won’t make fun of me for the stress I put on myself but will understand and embrace it. Maybe in the process I’ll chill out a bit. Back to work. ::sigh::

  6. Wow

     

    Wow. I love this weather. Its the first day of fall yet it is gorgeous outside.

    Classes are going well. I think I’m getting the hang of everything. I have an awesome Professional Technical Writing Formal Report topic. My history class is awesome (we might be going for Ethopian food — kICK ASS!). As for Imaging Science and Persuasion some hard work tonight will pay off and I’ll get on top of those assignments.

    Oh… did I mention how much I LOVE my job? I work with some of the most amazing people. Its the little things that matter.

    Hahaa. I’m sooo random today. Before my history class and I went to Crossroads and I got a Mocha Coffee smoothie with an energy booster in it. It made me jittery all day and its the best feeling ever.

    I’m excited to work on my homework. This is good, healthy. Plunging into work sometimes solves all problems. At least for the time being.

    So yeah. There’s my update.

    and here’s a quote. I love this poem/piece of writing. It is entitled “What Will Matter”. Especially in today’s society we get so caught up in the materialistic things. Here’s a section clipped for your enjoyment and thought.


    What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone. What will matter is not your memories but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn’t’ happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters."

    And with that said: "You must choose to live in a better world. Don’t be content to merely survive." Reach out, touch and embrace each other. Materialistic goods mean nothing. But those hugs, those kisses and those amazing friendships and relationships that have fostered with people over the years count.

     

    God bless.

  7. What Week Are We In?

    Sarah: i’ll feel better when i am doing well academically
    Brock: we’re only a week and a half in
    Brock: cut yourself some slack
    Sarah: umm
    Sarah: we’re in week 3 hun
    Brock: you sure?
    Sarah: yeah
    Sarah: positive
    Brock: oh shit

  8. Update

    I had these words stuck in my head all day “fall into me as I fall into you”. I swear it was part of a song once… but I can’t place it. Despite that, its still lovely words. Our language is such a beautiful thing. Painting a beautiful portrait is possible with sometimes the simplest words. Its wonderful.

    So anyways … this week sucks and is great at the same time. Lots of work to do but I think I have it under control. I bought a day planner at the bookstore today which I am going to start using. Friends always tell me “you’re into computers, get a Palm”. I’ve SOLD my Palm Pilots … there is something so wonderful about using penmanship and writing it down by hand. I love it.

    I can’t wait for the weekend and the week just started! I need to focus on the good parts of the week. I need to become a good liberal arts student this quarter. Yet all I want to do is fall in love with InDesign again.

    Work is going well. I love working with Cassandra on projects. I think our NL is coming together quite nicely. I need to meet with some professors about some of my Apple sctuff. Hopefully they can help me pull it together a bit more.

    Besides all this school work and work work stuff .. life is wonderful. I don’t think I’ve been this happy in a long time. I love my roommates, I love my friends and I love that amazing feeling of finding someone to share even more with. I love random drives to Geneseo and chocolate chip pancakes and talking about everything and anything.

     

  9. Great Weekend

    It’s only Saturday but this weekend has been wonderful. Thank you.

  10. Update

    What is there to say? I treat LiveJournal like a diary and a couple times each day think that I need to sit down and write out all of my emotions and feeling and just in general what is up. Then I sit down at my computer and my mind goes blank. Its a horrible feeling. I guess I havent updated in awhile so I’ll try my hand at some updates.

    So here’s an update on my life:

    Job: Back to 15 hours a week. I love working full time instead of this part time deal. Stuff is going well and I’m kinda behind on a lot of e-mail. I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow so hopefully that will help even out some goals for the next 8 weeks or so.

    Academics: Ugh. I hate not taking a class within my major. This quarter I am taking Honors History: Internet America, Professional & Technical Writing, Persuasion and Imaging Science Fundamentals. History is awesome. Professional & Technical Writing can put me to sleep. And Persuasion and Imaging Science Fundamentals are just plain hard. I need to apply myself more. I need to study more. Blah. I need 72 hour days.

    Social: Social is amazing. I’ve met some really cool people this year. Its nice to expand and get to know another group of individuals. Things may finally be going right in this area.

    Geek Rave: New Computer! This summer I sold my 15-inch PowerBook G4, my Dual 1Ghz PowerMac and my 17-inch Studio Display. I am now the proud owner of the new Apple 23-inch Cinema Display and a 2.5Ghz Power Mac G5. The G5 now has 360 GBs attached, 1.5 Gigs of RAM, SuperDrive, nice video card and just awesomeness. My setup rocks. I am a happy geek!

    Other: I’m happy. Stressed, but happy. So much stuff to do. This weekend I aim to complete:

    - MUG Stuff

    - PPage Reviews

    - Academics

    - Apple NL and E-mails

    - Social?

    On other exciting news, Oliver just told me he’s flying to New York on the 26th of December. I’ve known this kid for like 6 or 7 years and we finally get to chill. Its gonna rock.

     

  11. Beautiful

    I wish to give, to take, to make, to check, I wanna see it happen
    I want to see, to be, the one that plays the game without no fears and regrets
    I want to know you, better than I know myself
    I want to feel the end, and enjoy the consequence

    I’m playing the game
    the one that will take me to my end
    I’m waiting for the rain
    to wash who I am

    I want to move, to loose, to take the grooves, and to give it all back
    I want to take the time rewind, and to kick it right from the start
    to be unknown and all alone, lose the kind that are behind
    to start a new play by myself and to give the best I have

    I’m playing the game
    the one that will take me to my end
    I’m waiting for the rain
    to wash who I am

  12. Learning What <3 Means

    Sarah Friedlander: what does <3 mean?
    Brock: welcome to the intarweb
