"all is full of love."

first and foremost...check out bjork. her song/video is crazy good.

driving to victor valley community hospital
was not as bad as i thought it would be.
with good driving conditions...
i can get there in an hour or so as proven by today's trip.
it's around 60 miles one-way
and the hospital is in the
middle of old town victorville...
which is nothing like old town pasadena.
we're way into the desert so it's freakin' hot.
apart from all this...the day was quite chill.
the first day on the units will be monday...
so aside from being in victorville by 6:50am,
i'm going to be excited.
but then again...i'll be going to victorville
on tuesday and wednesday too.
ouch.

tonight...i bought kanye west's new book.
entitled "thank you and you're welcome,"
it features his perspectives, quotes, and lessons
laced with humor and irony.
this purchase led me to remembering
that he's performing at nike's human race
at the end of august in la.
that being said...
i have just registered to join the race.
i'll be running to support the
united nations' refugee agency.
it's a 10k race which is something
i've never done before.
simply said...
i'll be pushing my body
harder than ever before
for a good cause with a good show at the finish line.
i'll be making a race profile in the near future
so people can support me by donating
to the refugee agency.

for now...visit http://www.ninemillion.org/ and http://www.nikeplus.nike.com/
for more information on donating and the human race.

i just found out pat and christian are
planning to try out for american idol in san francisco
and there's a bay area trip planned for it as well.
is good as this all sounds...i can't go because
i would be missing schoool for a week
which is the equivalent of academic suicide.
what a bust...a bay area trip
is on the cusp of being actualized
and i won't be a part of it.

moving on to more positive things...

i was able to finally eat at the panera bread
at the shoppes today with betty,
which is also something i was able
to finally do since i've never really
chilled one-on-one with her.
we also went to barnes and noble where i bought her
the kite runner in hopes to encourage
her to read more fiction and she bought me cunt to
expand my knowledge in women's studies.
i think the transaction worked out beautifully.

tonight was myrna velasco's viewing.
i wanted to go since i couldn't attend the funeral
due to school obligations.
she was a truly remarkable woman that
is a great example of faith, hope, love, and passion to us all.
i didn't know her as well as most did...
but she inspired me as much as everyone else.
my moments with her were unique and special.
please pray for her soul and for her family.

that's all for now.
have a great and safe
fourth of july weekend.
