Phu Son Nguyen's Journal and Portfolio: The calm before the storm!

March 11, 2005

The calm before the storm!

After sitting in my room remembering the past and pondering about my future for the past 5 hours without much distraction from anything else particularly, I think I've gone crazy! Naw...not yet, I think tonight was more or less one of those peaceful nights that I'm going to last see before the coming hectic weeks wind up. I've actually sit down and turned on some opera music and opened up the windows to let the cool breeze fills up my somber room for the first time in a long time. The smell of the outside fog and coldness plus the music are making me feel so nostalgic about old times. I was chatting with Darren earlier tonight and I was telling him how times like this remind me so much of our careless, fun freshmen year in college living in the dormitory. It was a better period of my life that I did not see nor appreciate until now.

Anyways, part of the reason why tonight was a slower night than usual is because of the server on WoW abrubtedly crashed and forced Blizzard's having to migrate it to a new server rack for better stability and less lagginess in the future. Oh well, time to get back to reading my dry thick book for my class. I'm so lost in this class. The more I read, the more I realize that this is not for me and that I can't help but let my mind wander elsewhere every other 10 seconds. The more I read, the more I feel lost and hopeless. Man! The final is going to be pretty crazy and difficult for me...

The title for tonight's entry says it all, the calm before the storm, so I'll be back after the storm. I will have some cool stuff to post up here. You will see. In the meantime, have a good week my friend.

Also, one last note, thanks Pete for helping me with some spammer problems. I'm glad I can be your Guinea pig for your P.I. escapade. :smile:

Derek, thanks! yeah I think it was a nice night to say the least. Good luck on your finals and we'll kick it later!

Pete, yeah the shoutbox looks like it's safe from the spammer punks!

Hey Son! I think everyone has these moments, and I think we have them because we half-enjoy them. It's like reminiscing, it sucks because you're thinking of times gone by but you can't experience them again. Maybe this is like future-reminiscing - you're thinking of the future and are afraid you won't ever get to experience it.

Anyhow, I think it's good that we have these moments once in a while... gives us some perspective to say the least.

Maybe take some of the best advice I ever received when I went to a friend with a problem -

Me: "I have this issue blah blah blah"
Her: "Deal with it."
Me: "But..."
Her: "I don't wanna hear it. Deal with it."

Some of the best advice I ever received!

Son - March 16, 2005 03:26 AM

David, yeah I do agree with you, it's like a bitter sweet moment I think. Anyhow talk to you later buddy.

Forum Troll! OMGS! Let's not troll Son's blog too! Maybe that's the bestest advice I've heard yet!
