Here's a tidbit for you: I lack the ability/survival skill of swimming. People have told me it's just a psychological issue that's the problem. I tend to differ. I go through the motions like everyone else, and it just doesn't work. Maybe I just haven't had enough practice, and it's merely a time matter that's keeping me from my goal. Perhaps it's like riding a bicycle; I'll always remember when I learned to ride a bike. the previous day I'd been trying--practicing--on the pavement in front of our house, and when I tried the next day, I just got it. It clicked. I don't know why or how it happened, because the previous day I could scarcely go short distances. Maybe swimming is the same way, and you don't know how you're doing it, but you just are. It's instinct, and was there to begin with? I suppose that goes back to the psychological issue.



It'd be so easy to kill me though. A mobster wouldn't even have to cement my feet to have me "swimming with the fishies." All he'd have to do is just plop me down in the water. I suck at this concept so much, that, even after I'd drowned, I still wouldn't be able to float. Let's pray that I don't ever get mixed up with the mob.

I took this picture of my chihuaua a while back. It's even been in my pix folder a while too, but I just want to get opinions on it. What does everyone think? Any improvements/suggestions/changes? There's a color version in my pix folder as well, but the background is a bit boring in it, and I think the B&W version is better.

In other news, it doesn't look like I'll be able to receive a Pell grant this year for school either. Still going, though, thankfully. I caught this little problem this time in time to apply for a couple of other AR-related state grants and things. Hopefully that'll ease the financial burden that school so easily becomes. Sometimes, though, I wonder if it's even possible for me to ever catch a break. Something always happens to ruin my plans, for one reason or another. Not this time, however, but it still sucks nonetheless.

Has anyone seen Hellsing? I just watched the first three episodes recently, and I'm hooked, and how. I never knew horror anime could be so intriguing. I have to get on the other three volumes quick.
