I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.

Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.

But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine.

Pablo Neruda


Still the best poem ever. And I'm in a very romantic mood, lol :]

A long time ago I saw this site where you list 43 of your goals. After listing your goals you blog about your progress on each one, and people can give you cheers (which I would guess is an equivalent to eprops on xanga) to comment on your blogs and progress on such goals. The site was aptly named 43things.com. You should check it out, it's actually pretty swank. Anyway, since I'm a Xanga bitch I have decided to do the same thing here. I will list out a few my major goals and blog about my progress on each one (if any such progress does occur >.>).

I think it's a pretty good idea to write down your goals so you can see them in black and white. It helps you remind yourself what your goals are because in such a busy world as ours people tend to forget their goals in the muddle of everyday life.

Writing out 43 goals is a bit much for me, so I think I'll boil that down to twenty. Five short-term goals, ten mid-term goals, five long-term goals: so twenty goals in total. So here's at it:

Short-term
1. Get new glasses, and not those thick rimmed emo ones. Those are really gay.
2. Get a new camera. Last one was dropped in a lake. :[
3. Find an environmentally friendly way to get rid of old computers, and then... well, get rid of mine. lol
4. Install CFW.
5. Buy my books.

Mid-term
6. Get straight A's. (neverending)
7. Find a job (at UNLV).
8. Get a laptop.
9. Apply for more scholarships. (always ongoing)
10. Learn and memorize 30 new songs on the guitar.
11. Get better at basketball.
12. Reclaim your five-minute mile.
13. Finishing Learning (inside thing, most people won't get it).
14. Get your own Wii!
15. Learn and memorize 10 new songs on the piano.

Long-term
16. Get a new car.
17. Get into medical school.
18. Get an Alaskan Husky and Siamese. I can't do this until I'm an adult with my own house. :[ So long-term it will be.
19. Go to a Superbowl.
20. Get married.

Well I'm off to accomplish my goals! (not. I'm going to eat then I'm watching more football.)

Have a good one :]


and here's a beautiful song; a gift for you, for Christmas.
