pk growed up
Category: memories
My ex-boyfriend's little brother just found me on myspace. He and I were great buds. I used to 'babysit' him a lot and we'd get pizza and play video games until 5am. When he got a little older we'd go surfing and get lunch. I taught him how to snowboard too. Anyhow, he posted this photo of us from when I visited California last Christmas. I thought it was so sweet and it made me smile ear to ear. Now that he finally turned 21 I can't wait to get back out to Cali so we can go dancing! Ciao.

First of all I'm glad you enjoy Myspace.com . On a second note it is cool that somepeople use it to find people who they used to know, that is awesome.

beautiful cleavage
Category: party
I went to a theme party the other night titled 'Red or Dead'. I thought it was clever. You had to dress in red or dress as a person who is dead. I would have gone all out, as I love costumes, but I did not have much notice. I opted to bust out my handy medieval dress, renaissance boots, and a sword and go as Joan of Arc.

As I approached the food table I heard, 'Timika you have very beautiful cleavage'. In many instances, I would be so turned off by a comment like that. Yet, it was said with such sincerity that I was quite flattered. How often does a girl hear that from a guy that does not want to get in her pants? Anyhow, here are a few shots of the evening. Ciao.

The comment is true, but that being said I have no idea how anyone could say it in a classy way, i guess that is the least crude way of saying it, nice pics.
salvatore - 12/20/05 13:36
Awww, you're so cute!
theecarey - 12/19/05 23:00

snow party follies
Category: party
I had a lovely time at the Snow Party. I had the opportunity to meet some new peeps, including (e:Jessbob), (e:Beast), (e:Imk2), and (e:Enknot). It took me a moment when I woke up this morning to remember why I had writing on one of my breasts. Without further delay....

image
sarah started spanking mike with his belt

image
then she tried to pull his pants down and he chased her into the kitchen

image
more crack

image
back in the living room, mike got pantsed

image
he retaliated but failed to pants sarah

image
jessica comforted him

image
then mike decided he was famous and sarah and i were his groupies.....

image
.....so he autographed our breasts

image
but the real star of the show is basra

thank you and good night

Great Patry pics. Not sure what was wrong with me I didn't try to take any boob or depanting pics. Having to use the rest room a few times didn't help. I was hopping to talk to You (e:theecarey) (cary) and (e:beast) but I wasn't verry talkative. On a sidenote I think Mike and sara where definatly the life of the party, I could hear the belt two rooms away. If I could only find a lady who would use my own belt on me, but then I would never post. Glad you had fun and thanks for posting the pics.
alicia - 12/19/05 11:43
damn we're a couple of hot momma's ;) except i have an olive pit in my mouth tehe
mike - 12/18/05 18:17
hmm and I thought I survived a party without any embarassing pictures cuz I was not too drunk...eh maybe next time

scrape, scrape, scrape dat ice
Category: christmas
I had my work party tonight. Sorry to say I have no exciting stories like (e:Mike)'s Eckerd story, but what do you expect from a private Franciscan institution? They had free beer and wine, so I was stoked. Apparently, they do not believe in any type of de-icing agent here at Hilbert. I skated all the way across campus on this lovely sheet of ice. Thankfully (e:frogedelic) gave me a ride back to my building.

This was funny. One of our fellow GA's was walking us out the doors when he reaches into his coat pocket and says "what is this"...then pulling out a little Santa figurine. How random.

I was getting my hair cut today, and chatting with the stylist, Lauren. There was a girl in the chair next to me. Lauren had just put foils in her hair. I mentioned doing your hair, and that you posted pics with the president of Hilbert and i was pleased to see the pink was still quite vibrant in your hair. Well, guess what school the girl who was getting highlights goes to and saw some girl with pink hair? Yes! You guessed it! You must be college educated or something!!! :O)
salvatore - 12/16/05 14:05
O, I'm having a hard time dealing with you being so nice and cute. Thank you for getting the Coldplay reference on my blog! Stay in touch!

I am so glad you got that ice pic. I tried to get one. But I forgot and then I had no car.

because i'm fascinated by mystery
Category: mystery
Warning: This is a bit wordy.

THE NAZCA LINES
The Nazca people of Peru left no trace cities, but did leave the marvel of the Nazca Lines. Geogliphs. Built for extraterrestrials? Runways? They are figures only visible from the air, when modern flight was hundreds of years away. Some lines run 10 miles long. Birds, monkey, spider, whale, human like figure, there are thousands of figures. What was their purpose?

Astronomy theory relates to the positions to the moon, stars, solstices etc. The lines can point out horizons and figures relate to constellations. Is it just a map of the sky to mark the seasons? Astronomy theory doesn't fully explain it. It can only match up with 30% of the lines. Random at best.

Water theory suggests the figures coincide with aquifers that lie under the desert surface. They spiraled wells to tap into the aquifers. These 2,000 year old aqueducts are still in use today, fantastically preserved. Yet, only 30% match up with the lines. Random at best.

Ritual theory suggests they made huge images so that the gods in the heavens would be able to see them. They performed ritual dances but evidence of brutal rituals has never been found. Weak at best.

ATLANTIS
Could it be the island of Santurini in Greece? The island has many geological similarities to Plato's writings. The hot and cold springs, the red, white and black rock, the fact that it is an active volcano and could have been the cause of extinction. Atlantis supposedly sank into the sea. How does this compare to the city of Pompeii that was buried under a hundred feet of ash? The concentric circles described by Plato, do they offer evidence of advanced life? Yet there is no mention of a volcanic geological event. It is possible that they simply had no concept of what they were witnessing, if the piroplastic plume was obscuring the view, but it was a most violent explosion of priroplastic bombs. Scholars suggest that violent earthquakes and floods occurred over one day and night, sinking the city of Atlantis and making all the area impassible as mud. Such an eruption would do just that..

Was Plato writing entire fiction, entire fact, or fact based fiction? Was he simply the Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code) of the day? Was his writing merely a tale of mortality? Why are we so intrigued by Atlantis over the factual history we know of? Is there some psychic connection to the human mind collective that Atlantis has something to do with our future?

Aquitiri is a city that was unearthed much like Pompeii. An old city, supposedly of high functioning individuals. However, unlike Pompeii, no bodies were ever recovered.

THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
The Bermuda Triangle is a triangular region in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida Keys, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. An average of five planes goes missing every year and more than 50 ships have gone missing in the last century. However, is this phenomenal for an area consisting of 1.5 million sq miles of ocean? Surely, there are logical scientific explanations: gas bubbles, electromagnetic interference, violent seas. The geography of Bermuda is amazing. It is a coral reef perched on an extinct volcano 1 mile down at the bottom of the ocean. Its precarious environment is at the mercy of this vast deep ocean with easy changing weather.

Water spouts, essentially tornados on the water, form easily in the Atlantic and can be very deadly in open water. Many times, they are invisible to ships on the water. Methane gas bubbles releasing from the ocean floor in a localized concentration can cause a drastic density difference in the water, easily sinking an object. Random rips can suddenly turn 3ft waves into 6ft waves, and if the wind is blowing the opposite direction, it can make it worse. Microbursts produced by thunderstorms could tip an object.

When flying over water and a long way from land, spatial disorientation can occur. In other words, in flight Vertigo, the loss of sense of up and down, left and right. We fly by horizon, without it, the mind cannot compensate.

Have you ever been in the water in total darkness? While snorkeling a beautiful underground river in Cozumel I experienced this madness. I was face down, enjoying the beauty of the floor some 30 ft below when darkness swallowed me. Almost instantly, I had no idea where I was. I literally had no sense of direction.

I was far from the caves walls so I thought I might try to swim slowly with an outstretched hand and eventually reach a wall. I would then follow the wall and either head back to the light from which I came, or emerge on the other side of the blackness. My friend and I were calling out to each other but within the acoustics of an underground river, our primitive echo location was useless. I didn't panic, but I will admit I wasn't loving it. Slow and cautious, I swam in what I hoped wasn't a circle, trying to reach a wall. I ended up cracking my head on a razor sharp rock. Blood running down my forehead, the salt water burning my cut; it was fanfuckingtastic. Anyhow, that is my small version testament to spatial disorientation. Human beings like to feel centered; having no sense of where you are in space is disturbing.

Back to the triangle, there are many natural scientific explanations for probable causes of these tragedies, but why is no trace found of the majority of these missing modes of transportation? We were able to find the Titanic with no accurate coordinates, and she lies 2.5 miles below the surface.

I guess I shared these thoughts because I have always had a passion for archeology, both land and marine. Secrets of our future buried in our past, that sort of thing. Ciao.

What is up with alien landing sites? If you can travel accross the universe to visit a bunch of spear chucking humans then do you really need some petroglyphs to land your saucer?

please put all trays and probing devices in an upright position.
jenks - 12/17/05 21:10
cool.
I love that shit.
P.s. aren't you adorable in that hilbert pic.
