~i found this from one of my friends on myspace...

If the World was a Village of 100 People
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following.

There would be:

57 Asians

21 Europeans

14 from the Western Hemisphere, both North and South America

8 Africans

52 would be female

48 would be male

70 would be non-white

30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian

30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual

11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth;
all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing

70 would be unable to read

50 would suffer from malnutrition

1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education

1 would own a computer
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness – all foes to real understanding. Likewise, tolerance or broad, wholesome charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in our little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” - Mark Twain

i am thinking it's a sign
that the freckles in our eyes
are mirror images
and when we kiss
they're perfectly aligned

"Life doesn't get resolved. Resistance, interruptions, and fear are as valid as understanding, flow, and joy. There isn't any difference. It is all a continuum."~Jennifer Louden

take your time. take it slow. when you get overwhelmed, stop.

Life interrupts. Life is supposed to interrupt. don't expect it to be any different.

amazing that the summer has come to an end. it was crazy, tiring, alive all mixed up in one. i have never spent so much time with nik as i did this summer and i blessed to have done so. when we are together chicago is hit by surprise....so many memories in such a small amount of time. the city never looked so beautiful as it did with you sitting beside me....until next time. sam...geez...as absent as u were this summer...and i blame no one but paul for that, you came and destroyed chicago on your 21st. there are things we are always discovering about one another, such as you being a lesbian (j/k), and we will continue to learn. one month till the big test day...i'm glad we got an early start..hehe ;) one thing did make me sad and it was that we all didn't spend enough time together. we couldn't even remember when we were all together before may...and we are all busy but this is our last year and we have to live it up. love you guys...and sorry for getting a bit sentimental...kisses.

So i'm reading this really good book. you should check it out. it's called the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by mark haddon. the main character christopher rules. he detests the collor yellow. here are some quotes from his detective story that he is compiling...

~Christopher does not like to 'chat' because 'chatting' is "where people say things to eachother which aren't questions and answers and aren't connected."
~Christopher doesn't let the past affect him because he "would be feeling sad about something that isn't real and doesn't exist. And that would be stupid."
~When thinking about the murder of the dog on his street he recalls a quote...

"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem."

which is latin and it means

"No more things should be presumed to exist than are absolutely necessary"

Christopher then concludes that "a murder victim is usually killed by someone known to them and fairies are made out of paper and you can't talk to someone who is dead."
*****
Christopher is an enjoyable/loveable character, even with all of his quirks(ie;not liking to be touched, not likeing yellow or brown things and refusing to touch yellow or brown things, refusing to use his toothbrush if anyone else has touched it, not eating food if different sorts of food are touching eachother, hating france, and getting cross when someone has rearranged the furniture.)

check this book out.

our senior year is right around the corner fashion plates...

"Live large my friends. Do everything with gusto and pizzazz, from sleeping to partying, to resting to working, from eating great food to moving your body. But when it comes to Laughing, Loving, Playing and partying, pull out all the stops and do it too much, too loud and too long. Have too much fun. Try to actually die laughing. Your physical body listens and reacts to your emotional dialogue. STOP playing dead. START playing ALIVE"

damn...here i am with one week to go at this incredible non-profit org...which made me realize more than ever that my path for the future will take me into the field of law. as linette, my fellow intern, and i relentlessly attempt to find some sort of entertainment during our down time, i of course find myself reflecting on today and the year to come. as i stare at the daily herald sitting on my desk with my roomate and good friend's article on the front cover, i can't help but think how life at times seems so perfect. yea even from this drab office sitting before a sad looking bullentin board, things are perfect. because i am confident we are all where we need to be. according to durkheim the catholics believe every being has a "calling" or a duty to fullfill in their lifetime. they believe that there is a force that pulls us in the direction of what our duty should be. as subtle as it may seem we are all being pulled...whether or not we hold on and stay put or go along for the ride is completely up to us. at times we get little signs that let us know that we are in the right place...everything does happen for a reason and today be assured you are where you are supposed to be.
