No dragging required

The beauty of this simple shortcut is that it works in more than just InDesign. Try it in your email, text editor, or word processor too. You probably already know how to click your way through the selection of a word or paragraph but let's review:

* Click once to place the cursor in the text.
* Click twice to select (highlight) the whole word.
or,
* Click three times to select (highlight) the entire paragraph.

"Drugs are not my Cup of tea" - Good Quote for a T-shirt that I thought of Junior year, but never took the initiative to create a T-shirt out of it. Right now I'm posting to my blog using an iMac in Ms. Evanson's room.

This year I might become proficient with Macs, but until that time, I shouldn't judge them too harshly, because they crash less and offer a less intimidating user interface for people who are new to computers.

Doña Abby might be a good PC client since I've helped her in the past and she sees me as a tech-savvy person.

If only I could be "Mac Savvy". . . . . .


Right now I just wish that Macs had a right mouse button. . . .control + Click

Book: 501 Spanish Verbs


That would be freakin' sweet to write an entire short story or manuscript on a Blog. . . just imagine. . although you'd be chained to a computer to do the writing. . .and spontaneous writing might not be produced as well.

I need to Stop cracking my nuckles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish Kacie Liked me as more than just a friend. . .or Tiffany. . or Destin. . but today in the hall, dejavu like last year. .
I was gazing at Alex M. as she walked down the hall and she sorta gazed back. . I love it. .

Tristan showed Danielle, Mr. Beland, and Kacie how to scan negatives and make 5 second adjustments that would take 10 or 15 minutes to finish in the darkroom. To top it all off, Danny and Kacie likek seeing the features and convenience of Shutterfly.

Dad had 3 internet orders yesterday, and a faxed order, making 4. That's sweet. . If his website ever really took off, then he would probably have anywhere from 2 orders a day to 10. Although If he started getting that many, he would have to hire more employees and we'd definitly have enough money to move into town.

Thank God for Weblogs. . thank you God for technology!!!!!!!

Right now I need to finish the site that has Jump Menus and reminded me to use layers!!!!

It's kinda sad that my generation has become so engrossed and desensitized to trashy music, it can honestly be stated that it takes much more talent to compose a symphony than to scream a heavy metal song. . .Hopefully people will change their attitudes about music soon. Well, this period and school are about over so i have to wrap it up.. .

Sunshine, on my shoulders makes me happy. . .

Today, while riding in Hal's car I came to a realization. That while Destin may be attracted to him, she has an issue with the type of music he listens to, and for that reason, she may never truly understand him.

I, myself, would find it difficult to love and enjoy the company of someone who listens to spiritually, physically, and emotionally damaging music.

I also came to another conclusion, that people who listen to jagged forms of music usually have had emotional problems, or have had to deal with stress, and they try to deal with the stress by listening to that kind of music.

Although, truly good music is not produced with anger, aggression, fear, or pain.
It's like the force in Star Wars. Yoda advises: "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate, leads to suffering". You have to let the force flow through you. . . .
You can't let the dark side have dominion over you!!!!!!!! Take control of your life today!

Fraction Quote:
"Fractions are beautiful, they have a top and a bottom"
- Mr. Gannon

Today I did the 2nd session of Carmine's Senior photos, close by a tree at mayor's landing. I didn't enjoy the session as much as the first, but some good photos did come out of it.

The library computer's Internet Speed is approx. 984k. . .holy crap!!!! The download speed for that should be about 123k per second!!

The actual download speed was 83k per second!!

I need to appreciate and take advantage the cool books I have collecting dust in my room. . .Guitar for Dummies, The Ukulele song books, Lost years of Jesus, Calvin and Hobbes--the days are just packed, and all the other great books that I have yet to read.

Do you have space?
for my things
my emotions

Do you have space
for a new friend
for extra laughs
for conversation

Do you have space
for ideas and inspiration
for motivation

Do you have space
for spontaneuos action
and possible satisfaction

I can only hope that you can spare some space.



"Love is the True nature of who we are."

An eternal vigilance
an eternal voice
guides my path
but does not tamper
with free will
for we all face choices
that involve good and evil
some are led astray
and others have left behind
their conscience
leaving their decisions
to be made by the human mind
and not the inner spirit.

"My shield of love and Spirit"

Your hateful words
bounce off me
like Ping-Pong balls
for I am the open door
which no man can shut
I love you
despite your arrogant words
Come out of your pain!
And open your heart and mind
to the peace, the calm, the light
of Spirit.
Breathe in the new day!

"To be and not to be"

I can't pretend
to know what you've been through
or how you sleep restless nights
I am not trying to judge you
but only show you the possibility
of a new you
You are not your pain.
You are the love and friendship
of many fulfilling days
You are not your worries
You are here. You are NOW.

Ode to Kacie Q.

my spirit's always dancing
in your company
and my heart keeps wanting to see
what ideas you have
about me
your smile makes me tingle inside
in time
maybe we'll share our feelings


8:19pm

Society divides
organized religion divides
government can divide
where is the unity?
the greatest strength
we posses as a people....


Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy. . .

Tao of time
Tao of Rhyme
Tao of prime
Tao of response time
Tao of sublime
Tao of spare time
Tao of one at a time
Tao of in due time
Tao of present time


Dreamlike state
but readily alert
restful state
but agile thought
a great way to relax

Poetry from an early school morning. . .random thoughts still flowing from my head.

I found out yesterday that one of my friends--stephi A. is an insomniac.

Hal told me the reason he has insomnia is because he is constantly thinking about things and has tons of ideas swirling around in his mind.

About a close friend. . . .possibly what he goes through

It's hard to sleep
when my thoughts won't disapate
and laying in bed
so many ideas
swiriling in my head
A decent night's sleep
has not come to me in months
and even exahaustion
doesn't close my mental processes
tomorrow's worries
an undetermined future
haunt my today
