I'm beginning to like you
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
I'm walkin' away from you
It probably don't make much sense to you
But I'm trying to save you
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do

I'll probably do

I could stay a while
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might share a kiss
But I feel like a can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do
Is to leave you alone

Leave you alone, now

You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
And I'm beginning to like you
What a shame it's a lame way to live
But what can I do?
I hope you appreciate what I do

I'm a martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you, now
A martyr for my love for you
A martyr for my love for you


I've always felt it's better to be friends forever than to risk it all for romance... and i've ...

i have some awesome friends, but i've probably missed out on a lot of other things.
it's difficult to make me upset, and i dont often regret things... but when i heard this song it was like watching my life flash before my eyes, and several other people's lives, and a hundred futures, and a thousand moments that never happened, and the thousands that had...

I really like statistics. More and more, we're able to see usage trends, counts, and more as people start categorizing empirical data rather than just throwing it out.

A few weeks back I decided to see what I could gather about my phone use (I actually started writing this post then), because I'm looking to uprgade again, probably to one of these:I thought, hey, this says a lot about me, and might be interesting to others (in the spirit of not throwing out collected data). So I decided to start a new blog tag trend related to mobile stats. Some phones (like Sony Ericsson's) make it really easy to get your statistics if you know where to look.

Model: Sony Ericsson w810i
Date activated: Dec 18 2006, I think
Days in use: about 210

*that's about 20 text messages sent a day.. every day, wow that actually surprises me.
*this has to be wrong, since I upload pics and video frequently, perhaps this is the count that I get charged for when not using a data connection (which I understand is the primary means for my picture and video uploads on Cingular/AT&T).
*I don't really use this option much, but I probably should to communitcate with my European friends easier.
*I use the applications on my phone more than any other feature, primarilly Google Maps and Opera Mini Dimension.


And so, since I said this was a tag-style entry, I'm interested to see what Espen, Leila, Jon, Anton, Dustin, Ian, Joe, and Chris do with thier phones.

Send me an angel.

Falling Irony

, , ,

This was a blog I wrote a little over 2 years ago. I found it just now, and decided to share this delightful story with you, unedited, as it originally existed, except that I have added a picture of the "Blue Cross Building"


March 2005

So this morning, walking up Market street to my building was the windiest day so far, practically tore my pants off. and as im walking i have my head tucked down, like every other poor sap with the exception tthat mine wasnt hovering over some form of hot grandemochatallgarbachino latte. so with no hot cup of caffeine warming my face there was nothing encouraging me to walk face down like everyone else. i lifted my head at times to make sure i wasnt going to get hit by a car and to make sure i wasnt the ass who was preventing people from wwalking as fast as they needed to to get where they were going. so this one time as i was letting the furious march wind uppercut my chin and travel down my collar, freezing me from the inside out i saw this thing. it was huge. from what i could tell, as it was falling off of the blue cross building, it was a sheet of ice no smaller than an old volkswagon beetle. as it made its way down the fifty some floors like a guilitine blade, or an old beetle driving down the side of a building. ill be honest i got really scared, to the point where i actually thought this sentence in my head: "You have to save these people!" as if i could. it was coming so fast i realized it was already too late and i had to save myself and jsut as i parted my lips to yell out "ICE!!" the sheet was thrown furiously awway from the building (still about 5 floors up) caught in the wind, and came down at a 45 degree angle and exploded itself just before hitting the building across the street effectively cascading about a hundred smaller ice shurikens against the side of the building and to the sidwalk below. i closed my mouth after the whisper trickled out: "...ice.."

i was standing there, as people passed me on both sides and in both directions by still nose down in thier suicidechinos completely oblivious to what just could have, and wwhat jsut did happen. im not trying to say anything bad about these people for not knowing, but it would have been nice (for survivals sake) if a few of them were in my shoes, also ready to warn others. i looked around for a few seconds to see if there was even a few who had noticed the last part at least. nothing.

i decided to get on my way when i realizzed that by standing there i was the ass who was preventing people from walking as fast as they needed to to get where they were going.
yay extreme irony..

I'm reluctant to even post anything on this topic... the topic I'm thinking about, but it's effects would otherwise be noticed without explanation and might stir confusion.
Come to think of it, I can't say anything yet, but...
guh... should I even post this?
