Day 4

God: I'm beginning to wonder if there is a direct relationship between owning a pet and somehow getting closer to God. Ever since I've started this fish project, I've struggled less and less with God, more willing to accept his teachings. I suppose taking care of others distracts me from my troubles and questions I have for God.

Writing: Skipped yesterday's writing session because of the orientation and because of Lost Season 2. I need to write every day for the next week to finish, but it's so hard because of all the distractions. I also submitted something for the Honolulu Advertiser. Hopefully they print it. That would be nice.

Magic: Had a nice two hour session of magic last night. Taught the guy some of my routines. I just hope that he doesn't copy what I do exactly. Already I can see that whatever I shared before has been copied to my specifications by others. I guess that's what happens when you share.

Fish: Yellow and Red seem to be doing okay. I only fed them once yesterday. Oreo, the black moor goldfish, ate some food, but I realized that he is near blind. I knew they were a hard of seeing, but that guy is clueless. Also, I think the pellet food is too big for him because he couldn't eat anything. I had to crush it and basically plop the pieces in the water right in front of him. The other fish, KitKat, is doing okay. He seems to be more active, feeding on the ungrowing bulbs of plant life that I have. I went out and bought some Stability, which should help my tank cycle faster. We'll see.
