at first sight

Why is that I always seem to love at first sight, but those that I love are oblivious to my heart pounding wildly? Do girls not love at first sight? I suppose that society teaches a girl to be passive in her feelings. I am blessed (or cursed) to throw my heart on the table, with the table of contents as plain as can be. I must be patient; for the reader will take her time,

Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

It lies not in our power to love or hate, For will in us is overruled by fate. When two are stripped, long ere the course begin, We wish that one should love, the other win; And one especially do we affect Of two gold ingots, like in each respect: The reason no man knows, let it suffice, What we behold is censured by our eyes. Where both deliberate, the love is slight:

waking up is hard to do...

i don’t know what it is, but all of a sudden i’m undisciplined in my wakeups. this morning i woke up about 5 (bathroom) and moved my alarm forward from 6 to 7. then i woke up at 7 and moved it forward to 9. i ended up getting up about 8, but all those breaks don’t leave me with good sleep. i also missed working out this morning. i know working out as something to do with it, because it makes the process of waking up seem so much more expensive (or uncomfortable).

dead battery

I think the Miata’s battery might be ready for replacement. I don’t know how old it is; I haven’t replaced it so it could be the original (and 7 yrs old). It has been dead twice in the last two weeks, so I have it in the kitchen on the charger. Maybe I can get a little more life out of it. It looks like I’m in good shape as far as homework is concerned.
