Sinewy humanity against NATURE

What a fight! It's gone on for decades. We poison little by little, while "she" kills buckets-full at a time. But, for strict analytical purposes, I narrowed this war into two poems by Coleridge for comparison.

So...that's where you can get my title. Oh, speaking of titles. The last title is also the title of an awesome song by "Oasis."

"...Little by little,
I gave you everything you ever dreamed of. "

and the rest of the lyrics is good too.

But yeah....There have been lots to do recently. I have two big research project/papers to finish soon. I also have an English paper due next week. It really isn't that bad. But - I was kinda freaking out a bit....All in due time, things will be done.

I had Relay for Life this last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who donated money. From our dorm team of 11 people. We raised over $2k. And compositely covered over 200 miles over 24 hours. There were so many punk bands that performed! And they all looked the same - haha - all going for the same look. They mostly seemed like really sincere kids. I got to talk to some. I guess it's kinda like living on the verge of a threshold when you're a young band. So Relay for Life - It was harsh though. But, for the most part, I had fun. I wish I got more sleep. Then, I wouldn't have felt so sick at the end. I had a 6am walk shift and I was counting the minutes until the hour was over. My head and feet were pounding simultaneously. And the loud movie only added to the pain. But, otherwise, I enjoyed everything. I did wish that it was more publicized. Not very many people were there. And only a few actually committed to the 24 hour thing. So I end with - my tent was really mildewy.

I went to the Big Dance last friday. It was big and had lots of live bands playing. It was enjoyable. I wished Olivia wasn't in Sacramento for a competition. I think it would have been more fun with a forced partner. (joke...followed by forced laughter) But, yep, it was very nicely done. I heard Vienna Tang for the first time - also live. She was good.

The weekend before:
Fri - something I forgot....
Sat - Went to an Artspan event to see kids that didn't have an arts program at their school perform. Helped out with Nick M. Then went with him to the Stanford POW-WOW. Was mildly disapointed. Got some fried bread. That was okay. Visited the "Angel of Grief" and the Cactus Garden on campus. Feet hurt. Saw Stanford Taiko perform that night - missed meeting with friend because over-napped. Went home and watched movie. I saw "Far from Heaven" and "Farewell my Concubine." They were good.
Sun - worked on stuff, saw Stanford Talisman acapella group. Long, but good.

And know I must get to some working.

Thanks to the previous comments. I appreciate them. You can even tell me who you are, previous anonymous.

I think I'm ready to end my Frosh college experience.
