so there was an earthquake this morning at 4:42 am. It was pretty rough but luckily it was short and I didn't feel any aftershocks after the big one. It was a 4.2 magnitude quake which isn't very big but considering its origin was only 3 and something miles below the surface it was pretty strong. Luckily for me nothing got damaged or fell over, except for a dry erase marker outside of the office door. Apparently the safeway on shattuck had 4 windows that shattered and landed right beneath which was where their registers were. Good thing it was early in the morning because just imagine if that safeway was open. It would have been chaos.

In other news i just thought of that chips ahoy commercial where the cookie wakes up from his bed with uplifting music and goes "Today is the first day of the rest of my life!" and right as he's ending his line someone yanks him. It's murder!

So I guess this was a few days ago but i found out that one of my cousins passed away. Even though I wasn't too close to him and haven't seen him for a few years it hit me pretty hard. I mean, this dude used to baby sit me and live with my family! It just sucks and whats crazier is that we found out that he had died 3 days before someone discovered him. We dont yet know the exact cause but it just sucks. It really made me think... I dont know if it was too wise to think but I kept thinking of how isolated one must live in order to not have anyone know that you're gone. I'm glad I found the love of my life and hopefully I wont die alone. My greatest fear is to be alone and for now I'm no where near that but I definitely feel it at times. Not for any real reason but I just sometimes feel myself thinking about depressing things.

Other than that life is going great. Jobs are good, life is pretty chill in general and I'll be starting school soon. We'll see what happens next......
