| What's the difference between APR and interest rate. The sallie mae website says that they are different and that one can be higher than the other. I checked the other day, July 1, and my interest rate decreased! Woot Woot! But Sallie Mae says that they cut out their consolidation program. What's with that?

| No matter how much I'd like not to think about, I have to come to grips that I'm not that talented musically. I've had to work really hard at it. I think that's the way it is with most people. Some people have it come naturally, probably from genetics, but for me and the rest, we've got to go through the problems, pain, or the problems of pain.
There's so much to music that I still don't even know, but I already know this much: most of the time when I play a song, I can draw inspiration from that song. It's different from reading a book. When I'm reading, I'm usually reading in my head, silently, with a monotone voice, or at least I think it's monotone, but when I play music, my voice, however horrible, off-key, off-rhythm, off-w/e, well, it comes alive. I like how music inspires me, drives me, motivates me, and even frustrates me. It's a good frustration though because I know I'm on the right track. Sometimes I'll have frustration and I won't get past it, but with music, I've found ways to overcome my frustration and that motivates me to work harder. I've gone through many bad days until I pick up that guitar and start playing.
oh and my wisdom tooth is hurting =/
A co-worker once told me about getting pieces of food stuck in the hole where the wisdom teeth had been pulled out. It started to smell because it was rotting so it became hard not to notice. Cool story!

| I really appreciate when people give me criticisms. They have some observation about me that I can't make about myself. Of course I don't appreciate the criticisms that are done out of anger, but if they're meant to help improve me, hey, then that's good for me. It's then a blessing. Someone once told me, "hey man, you have this attitude, like you don't give a [care]." Basically, it was that I didn't care about anything. And I started to think at that time, I really didn't care that I didn't care.
It's been 8 years since that happened, and to some extent, i still have this complacency that I just can't shake off. But at least I've discovered a purpose in life to live for God and to show God's love to others. I do care. And I'm not just saying that to justify anything. I prioritize people over things for instance (like suze orman). Sure, I don't keep in touch with people as much as I want, but I'm glad I've kept in contact with the people I've kept in contact with. Certain people just don't want to keep in contact and there's nothing I can do to change that. So i was just thinking about this recently because I was doing some processing. I try to think about how I've changed for the better. And then I try to set some goals. And I try to see if I've reached certain goals. And as I see how I've grown, I can't stop seeing the child in me.

| We've had square root day (03/03/09) and Pi day (3/14) recently. So it's not too hard to think about the fact that today, April 1, 2009, April fools day, is also squares day. 04/01/09 (2^2/1^2/3^2). So does that mean a fool is also a square. Maybe I'm thinking too deeply. I do that sometimes.
