    FUCK
    Proportion:

    In the picture taken with the pinhole camera there is a person that is almost six feet tall, and around four feet tall from the waist up. In the print of the picture the person appears to be one and three quarter inches tall from the waist up. With the drawing we can clearly see that the light from the top of the person traveled through the pinhole and onto the photo paper, creating an image. The light traveled the same way from the bottom of the image.

    I HATE LIFE
    The “GO Bowling Green Transit” began in November of 1994. It was started as a small service for the residents of Bowling Green to travel if they could not provide for themselves; the shuttle was also open to the public for a small feel. The Community Action of Southern Kentucky was given a grant from the Federal Transit Association, which provided enough to establish two routes. Although there were two routes, there was only one van. This caused the routes to be every other hour. This also made it difficult to provide transportation to people that were off the the routes and despertly needed transportation.

    Over time, by earning money and through grants and other donations, the transit expanded into four seperate routes. having shuttles for people to take that worked at the same business, this was like “car pooling.” Just recently, about four months ago, the “GO Bowling Green Transit” expanded into providing for the whole community of Bowling Green.

    Yesterday was awesome. My mom tought me how to dive. Everyone was over at my parents last night. It feels great to know that I have such wonderful friends. Leah even stopped by for a while. Matt stayed in the pool for a long time. Pat and his girlfriend. Ryan swam circles. The SKY was blue, yet clear, with mixtures of cranberry red, and orange at time.

    So Krista said the best thing to me yesterday. She said that she was going through some Doug withdrawls. That was so sweet!!! I miss her too.

    GUY
    I’m so nervous. Ohhhh… man I’m so fucking nervous. Fuck!! Why? I haven’t felt this before. This sucks! Yet it’s comforting. I want this I know I do.

    (Guy is pacing back and forth in the room in which his friend works.)

    GUY’S FRIEND
    So do it then. What the fuck are you waiting for? Do it!

    GUY
    I know, I know. I’m going. – (pause) – Wait…Maybe I should wait a wile, just a day or so, to make sure she really likes me.

    GUY’S FRIEND
    What?!? Are you fucking kidding me? Go!! Right now. Go! The longer you wait the worse it’s going to get. You know she likes you, we all do. We’ve seen the way she looks at you. She smiles then giggles, because –

    (Guy stops pacing and stands still, dead still and looks at his friend.)

    GUY
    Wait…you and who? Who have you been talking to about this? I thought I told you that…. Who did you tell?

    GUY’S FRIEND
    Ohhhh… No one really, just Jerry and Lisa – (Pause) - … and maybe Stacy too.

    GUY
    What?... Why?

    GUY’S FRIEND
    I don’t know. It was just on my mind. Why do you care so much anyway?

    GUY
    I don’t know. It just doesn’t sound so good with everyone talking about this. Everyone will be talking about me and looking at me now. It just doesn’t feel right.

    GUY’S FRIEND
    Who cares if people talk about you? It just means they like you. Jesse, don’t get so fucking critical, I just thought it was nice to show others how happy you were.

    GIRL
    What do you want for breakfast?

    GUY
    Wo, that’s a little fast. I don’t want to get out of bed just yet. I want to enjoy you being in my arms for a wile longer.

    (The girl smiles at him and moves even closer to the guy. She squeezes him and he smiles, and then squeezes her back.)

    GUY
    Remember when we met?

    GIRL

    GUY
    I was so nervous to ask you out.

    I'm having fun watching "Punch Drunk Love" and writing while i'm drunk.
    12:28 am
    I drink too much sometimes. I'm finally starting my own company, i've got to develop a better name. Paul Thomas Anderson smokes cigarettes and drinks tons of coffee, maybe wine and spaghetti should be the title.
    12:24 am
    I've never seen someone take such an interest in my life. Krista peeked around every conner desperately attempting to suck up every pixel of the pictures hanging in my room, ever so interested. I could catch her, out of the side of my eyes, so eager to see my life. It was amazing.
