even though this year's kinda sucks, I think new years in general is my favorite holiday.probably because its one that I don't feel like I'm missing out on a vital aspect (the religious one, for those of you who don't know me.) sure, it can be religious if you want it to be, and I'm glad it can be, as it means that everyone can enjoy it. as for me, its a time tocelebrate progress, wich I think is one of the most deserving of things to celebrate. I love to look back and see who I've become. its really kinda cool. nothing post, as always.
happy new years guys.
peace

Jealousy is indeed a poor medium to secure love, but it is a secure medium to destroy one's self-respect.
This is the quote that I most need to take to heart, I think. I hate my jealousy.

Why the change in name?
I've been wanting to change the URL and name o' the blog for a long time, but could never find anything that I liked. why did I wanna change?
well, my cup isn't empty anymore (pause for laughs, that's-what-she-saids, and lewd cracks about how small my penis is). okay. you done? thanks.
anyhow, I think when I started this, I wasn't really aware that I was growing up, but now, I think i've grown alot as a person over the past year, and as such "filled up my cup" a bit. I mean, I'm obviously not exactly brimming with wisdom yet, but I've grown, and my person is a little fuller and uniquely me now as the year comes to a close.
and I've got you guys to thank. all of you that read this have played a pretty fair part in that process, and continue to contribute, some more or less than others, but all important. so there you have it. no longer an empty cup, but a body of ideas, a cacophony of voices. an immense anatomy of sound, to be cultivated and shaped into me.
I'm ready for the new year.
peace

The verdict
Disclaimer: I do not base Christmas happiness on material possessions garnered from under the tree. this is merely my list and thoughts on what I got.
1.)Snowboard!
-very awesome, I don't have to rent anymore! excellent. hair, we're goin up the mountain soon, kay? I wanna go so bad now. it's weird, cuz my dad bought it an hour before I brought Kimberly in to big 5 to see it. its funny.
2.)Magnetic poetry board
really cool, thats what kickstarted the poem I just posted on the SKWB. its a bunch of magnetic words and a black metal board. it's so cool.
3.)Lego set(droid gunship)
awesome :] I havn't gotten legos in like four years :O
4.)Brisingr[book(inheritance no.3)]
the first two were good( eragon, eldest) but I've forgoton to much of them to read this. have to read those again first.
5.)a new journal
it 's like my little black book, only leather colored. vusing it as my poetry book, seeing how my old one is lost or something.
6.)Risk
exellent game
7.)an RCA mp3 player that refuses to work with iTunes. figures. oh well, I'm sure I'll find some use for it.
8.) a set of speakers in a water resistant sunglasses case
odd, I know, but kinda cool at the same time. haven't got a chance to try them out yet, so go figure.
9.) A SPECIAL EDITION COPY OF "DUNE"!
it's so pretty. origional art from the first publication, gold leaf pages, engreaved cover, leather cover. that bitch looks like a bible. it's awesome
most special of all( if you have a weak stomach, turn away now) :...
10.)My Kimberly Anne's micky mouse clock
wich she gave to me for safe keeping :]
awesome christmas.

ummm...
So I think the little letters you have to type in to confirm you aren't a robot are trying to communicate. it's scaring me a little. a week ago I was getting things like "kasjdfhi" and "jkjufo", but now I'm getting "tumbs" and "deacak". if things keep progressing this way, by next week i'll be getting things like "saveme" and in a month or so "diiieeee,hummmaannn!". yeesh. technology is fucking scary

damn
I hate being home alone. I can't do anything, can't go anywhere, and can't seem to enjoy anything I usually would. I could never live alone. I also hate not being able to help. not being able fix things, or just erase them out of history. I would give anything to fix things. to make things better.

Birth, The Faint
In a deep mouth of flesh,
And the crest I traveled,
On a wave of virile mess.
Through a tunnel of mucus,
And on toward a vault,
With tourists and traffic,
I just paced myself.
Not I as my whole self,
Just the half that I had,
Before greeting the rest,
Of my better half.
A connection was made,
Through a shared love of science,
And vows were taken,
A seed was hired.
A cavern of fluid,
Brought shape to my hide,
In the months that remained,
Till the time of my life.
I thrashed for the reason,
Of spilling from the crack,
To the palms of a doctor,
To a towel full of scraps.
My brains wouldn't fit,
Through her organ of sex,
An incision was made,
With a scalpel and mask.
I should have noticed the beauty,
And not how it hurt,
Wet like a cherry,
In the bloodbath of birth
coolest song ever. its really kind of fascinatings, its the journey of a baby. I dunno why, but it just is a really cool idea for a song in my opinion

"People see themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to them." Pilgrim, Peace
So, in accordance with the new title, I want you all from here on out to send me stuff. anything. pictures, videos, quotes, topics, headlines, you name it. if you send it to me, it will end up on my blog. you can even send requests as to whatI should do with it. kay? so anything that you come across, be it on the web, in a book, or IRL, gimme. If I own the center of the universe, I better start gettin more universal, neh?
thanks guys,
Management
P.S.
by send it to me, I mean email me. I'll have a seperate inbox made for this in just a sec so I can post it on a blog and not worry about getting flooded with "male enhancement" shit in my home mailbox.
P.P.S.
The address is "thehub@mac.hush.com". its in the text box right under the blog description at the top (the box that says "as a matter of fact, the universe does revolve around me")

well, it appears tommorow is finals day, and as such plans can be moved. still pissed that my kimberly anne has to stay home alone all day,though. I really hate snow.
Posted by Benjamin at 6:59 AM 0 comments
goddamn.
and we couldn't have a snowday some other time, why?
theres frost on the ground. fucking FROST! and they close school? so all my perfect attendance was for naught, and I have to sit at home fucking all day, alone. thats my reward? plans are fucked, my day is fucked. I hate snow. and don't bother with the "life's not fair" posts. I know. I'm sulking. go away. I'm going back to bed. not that I'll be able to sleep.

People Are Different
I know this may not come as a surprise to many of you, but they really are. I never ever realized this. Everyone is. When we're sad, different things cheer us up, when we're angry, different things calm us down. It's amazing,t he complexity of people, that everyone is completely and utterly different.
And nothing is more satisfying than learning someone else. learning everything about them, and knowing them as well as you know yourself. I love the feeling after helping someone get through something.
lame post, I know. I don't think straight. I hate it.
