Hello everyone....so I am faced with a dilemma? I like two guys and don't know which one to chose! Both are great guys for different reasons, and it's so hard! I can't really complain tho cuz it means I'm spending time with two good individuals.

The long lapses continue....it's been a while since I've written in here and there's been so much drama. Uggh. I'm not going to post it because the person I'm beefing with reads this shit and somehow it just seems childish to repeat what I've already said. My best friend is coming to visit for a week....soooo excited. She's the best and I can't wait for her arrival. I just took my Psych and the Law Midterm, so i'll be living in fear of the grade for the next few days. I have to get a better job that pays better. Other than that all is good....wow why is life so boring when it's good?

Two people in my life are going through some serious stuff and I cannot be there for them.

On the one hand, I am ready to give my support and love, and on the other, I feel strangely distanced from the situations at hand. Perhaps, I do not know how to react and handle problems my own problems, and thus, do not know how to handle the emotions of others. 

One of them, who has rapidly become a good friend, has recently learned that her mother has been hospitalized for a stroke. While, I have tried to be there for her, I am away in LA and cannot be there in person to give my support. But of the times that she has called me for support, I have not been able to lend it because I have been going about my life here. For this reason, I feel selfish and useless. She has told me that I have not been there for her and that me saying that I want to be there for her, does her no good. What am I to do? Do I give this person space, or do I not allow her to push me away? I know she needs someone there, and while she has others to lean on, she has on many occassions chosen me to be there for her. My other friend, has recently suffered a loss in her family. Similarly, I cannot physically be there for her. She is handling this a lot better than my other friend though. In some respects I think she is stronger.

There is only hurt.

Hey everyone. I hope everyone had a great week and is ready to start an even better weekend. I had fun this weekend; I was able to spend a few days with my best friend down at her apt. We went to an art show, had a few beers, hung out, tanned, went shopping and had lunch/dinner/breakfast. Mmm. . . had the best coconut-carrot muffin and the best zinc juice! The sun felt great and so did the ocean breeze. The beaches on the east coast are no match compared to those in Cali- Malibu, Laguna etc.-simply the best. Yes, Cali is home, so, I'm a little biased but so what? haha.

Ahh...so summer's coming to an end and I am dreading the return of classes, work and just overall stress. There's nothing like the lazy, care-free days of summer. I was, however, a little dissapointed that this summer wasn't marked by great movies. Summer movies just aren't the same anymore. Some of it is probably due to the evolution of special effects.  I mean, when I was younger, T2 was a good movie with cool effects, for its time, but now I watch movies like Lord of the Rings (though not a summer movie) and I'm blown away. But effects don't always determine a movie's quality: The Hulk, while it had some cool effects, it was the worst comic book movie ever made. . .wait. . Howard the Duck was bad too. Anyways, I thought list some of my fav. summer movies:

Summer Movie of 1989: BatmanSummer

Movie of 1991: Terminator 2 ... the new and improved Terminator, was insane....and Linda Hamilton was ripped!

Summer Movie of 1993: Jurassic Park. . . wtf? What kind of idiots go to an island full of dinosaurs...hmm because that doesn't spell danger...hello?!?!!

Summer Movie of 1994: Forrest Gump...haha no major effects, except for editing in major figures in U.S. history....but you know, it was still a good film. Jenny!

Summer Movie of 1995: Golden Eye...Oh man, Pierce Brosnan as James Bond...ahhh hot!  I have to say this is my favorite out of the Brosnan series. I meet Famke Jensen at work once, the bond girl/Jean Grey in X-Men...she's hot.

Summer Movie of 1996:  Independence Day...this was Will Smith's launching pad to bigger movies; the movie was a little cheesy but the idea of aliens landing on earth was big...admit it.

Summer Movie 1999: The Matrix ....Hats off to the Wachowski Brothers; their sophomore movie was not a complete take off, but the buzz soon followed and in retrospect, it was the "it" movie of that year.

So, yah I guess that's it.

Question : If you all had to recall your favorite summer movie, what would it be? And while you're at it, what about your favorite song of the summer?
