hay you guyzzzzz what's goin on. nothin much here either. yea. i'd talk about classes n this semester and stuff at school but i really haven't been paying attention to that shit at all. i'm in modern art and abstraction, topics in medieval art, form of the city, and advanced conversation and composition for italian, but like i can't concentrate on anything because i've been having these fucking stupid panic attacks that like make me think about stupid shit that really just doens't even matter. like why are we here on earth n what's the point of me being alive if i don't even know why i'm alive like why should i live without knowing what i'm here to do. but then i've been trying to tell myself that i'm alive to experience life and to make a positive impact on the world. YAY. so maybe i should like volunteer more or something. because i have a good idea of what i want to do after i graduate, which is like eco friendly design or something along those lines, and maybe if i can figure out a way to have a positive impact on the world like pre job that'd be nice too. i've just been feeling so weird. but all the doctors tell me things are normal! yay normal. so i have all of those mental things and then i have like a shitload of homework that i haven't been able to do. readings are really hard to concentrate on when you think that you're going crazy or having a heart attack or like questioning whether you're making this whole life business up in your head in the first place. why should i bother readin the book obviously it's a figment of my imagination to begin with, i should already know the fuckin words on the fuckin pages. but enough about me. how are you guys.

So, here's how it works:

La principessa era molta entusiasta, e le e caduto la sua taza di cappuccino dalle finestra. La taza colpita il suo ragazzo in testa. La principessa e scenduta la scala sapere come il suo ragazzo, me lui e gia morto. Perche la principessa era molto angosciata, ha prometteta di non bere i cappuccini mai piu.

Subject:here's my italian fairy tale i like a lot. i can't write italian, so it's in english.
Time:11:21 am.
Hundreds of years ago there was a princess who lived in a tower in the mountains. Every morning, the princess would wake up, take a shower, brush her beautiful hair, and sit at her window on the third floor. From her window, the princess could see the town in the valley, where her lover lived. The princess spent five years sitting at the window, drinking cappuccinos in the morning, reading romance novels, listening to music, and petting her cat, waiting for her lover to come and visit her. One morning, while the princess was drinking a very nice cappuccino by the window, she heard someone approach the house. She was so excited she accidentally dropped her cappuccino out the window. The cappuccino landed on the head of her lover, and he fell. The princess ran down the stairs to see how he was, but he was already dead. Distraught, the princess vowed never to drink a cappuccino again. Two years later, the princess moved out of the tower to an apartment in Philadelphia. Her apartment was very beautiful, but she was not content. Every morning the princess would wake up, take a shower, brush her beautiful hair, and sit at her window facing the streets of Philadelphia. She had nothing for which to wait, and nothing good to drink—for she hadn’t had a cappuccino in two years. Now, when the princess was thirsty, she would drink glasses of whiskey with ice, smoking a cigarette and looking through beauty magazines. She was not happy. One day, a Starbucks opened across the street from her apartment. From her window, the princess watched happy couples drink cappuccinos slowly all morning long. Some even drank the cappuccinos later in the day. The princess longed for a cappuccino, let alone a lover with whom she could drink the cappuccino. Unfortunately, she never had either. The end.

Subject:hey you guys guess what
Time:3:48 pm.
Your voice, your eyes, our silences, our words...Light that goes, light that returns. One single smile between us both. From needing to know, I watched the night create the day. O, Beloved of one alone...In silence your mouth promised to be happy...Further and further, hate says, nearer and nearer...The heart has but a single mouth. Everything by chance. Everything said without thinking. Sentiments drift away...One need only advance to live, to go straightfoward towards all that you love. I was going toward you, I was perpetually moving toward the light.

Now she is asleep in the sun. He knows that in this world to which he has just returned for a while, only to be sent back to her, she is dead. She wakes up. He speaks again. Of a truth too fantastic to be believed he retains the essential: an unreachable country, a long way to go. She listens. She doesn't laugh.

this weekend ben came over and maria didn't get to sleep in the room.

it was a good weekend.

today at the train station we saw this woman with like a three year old kid like smoking all up around him and he kept sitting next to us while we were smoking and i felt bad. then i decided that when i have kids i'm not going to smoke, at least not until they start smoking, and then ben said that if they want to smoke while they're at home they'll have to provide us with cigarettes. the same with drugs and alcohol. and then somehow we got on the topic of how we could just keep our kids on morphine their entire lives and how great they'll feel all of the time and then something about how they could be stoners from birth and how we'd blow pot smoke into their faces to get them to go to sleep at night. then i said i wouldn't have enough breast milk to start them on pot at such a young age. ben thought that was funny. he left all his shit in my fucking room and now i have an extra phone charger, two new shirts, and some boxers. i got a whole bunch of shit this weekend. a whole bunch of all kinds of shit. surprise shit and new shit and used shit and lavender shit and other kinds of like free people shit. and now i'm going to go read for csem and eat some eminems and drink some sprite and sleep and soothe my ripped anal tissues.

Don't say it's over
Cause that's the worst news I could hear I swear that I will
Do my best to be here just the way you like it
Even though its hard to hide
Push my feelings all aside
I will rearrange my plans and change for you

If I could go back
That's the first thing I would do I swear that I would
Do my best to folow through
Come up with a master plan
A homerun hit, a winning stand
A gaurantee and not a promise
That I'll never let your love slip from my hands

If it's the beaches
If it's the beaches' sands you want
Then you will have them
If it's the mountains' bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it's the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever what you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when we forget why we left here

PORTUGUESE BEAN STEW (FEIJAO A PORTUGUESA)

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 10 hr

1 lb dried navy or Great Northern beans, picked over
1 lb sliced bacon
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 to 5 cups water
1 (6-oz) can tomato paste
1 lb Portuguese chouri‧o or Spanish chorizo (cured spicy pork sausage), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tablespoon paprika

Soak beans in cold water to cover by 2 inches 8 hours.
Cook bacon in a 4- to 6-quart heavy pot until crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Spoon off (and discard) all but about 3 tablespoons fat in pot. Cook onion in reserved fat over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to turn golden.

Drain beans and add to onion mixture with remaining ingredients (except bacon). Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. (Older beans will take longer to cook and require more water during cooking.) Crumble bacon into beans and season with salt and pepper before serving.



Makes 6 servings.

According to an Aegean legend and praised in song by the poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, the first artichoke was a lovely young girl who lived on the island of Zinari. The god, Zeus was visiting his brother Poseidon one day when, as he emerged from the sea, he spied a beautiful young mortal woman. She did not seem frightened by the presence of a god, and Zeus seized the opportunity to seduce her. He was so pleased with the girl, who's name was Cynara, that he decided to make her a goddess, so that she could be nearer to his home on Olympia. Cynara agreed to the promotion, and Zeus anticipated the trysts to come, whenever his wife Hera was away. However, Cynara soon missed her mother and grew homesick. She snuck back to the world of mortals for a brief visit. After she returned, Zeus discovered this un-goddess-like behavior. Enraged, he hurled her back to earth and transformed her into the plant we know as the artichoke.

The yolk contains less water and more protein than the white, some fat, and most of the vitamins and minerals of the egg. These include iron, vitamin A, vitamin D, phosphorus, calcium, thiamine, and riboflavin. The yolk is also a source of lecithin, an effective emulsifier. Yolk color ranges from just a hint of yellow to a magnificent deep orange, according to the feed and breed of the hen.
