A Moment of Silence
| Salute For ole Blue. She took me to Montreal. She took me to 2 Krockathons. She took me to Toronto. She took care of me for 3 and a half years. I'll be sure to have one tonight, for you, in that big scrapyard in the sky. |

I Hate Technology
| I'm due two newspaper stories by the end of the weekend. I have one almost done. At least I thought I did. I saved it as I exited and I went to open it up last night... entire second page of the story has just disappeared. Not only that but I find out I have another speech to do before the term is over with. I have another paper due for my sociology class. I have to do a powerpoint presentation with a group before the semester's over, I've only been in contact with one of my group members because the rest are slackers. I have a style and a grammar test before the semester's over. Yes all this in a mere week. At least we're ordering pizza for next Tuesday's night class. |

8 things....
| but wasn't the movie called 10 things i hate about you?? oh well, i'll just omit two!! 1) I love 90s music and the fact that all their music videos have the band walking to random places. 2) I once went to school without wearing any pants or shorts (just boxers) and got away with it. 3) If my life was a little bit different I think I could've been a professional hitman. 4) For the first time in my life I feel like no matter what bad happens, I'm still going to be okay. I'm not sure if that's finally from positive re-inforcement on the home-front or maybe it's just the fact that after you fall on your face so many times you make sure you can land on your hands the next time and just push yourself back up. 5) I got a B on my speech talking about why they should lower minimum wage. He's a tough grader so a B is extremely good and I'm happy with it. 6) I have this little red dot in the center of my chest... I can't remember how or when it got there... I don't know what it is, but I know it's not a sniper. 7) My incision scar from having my appendix removed still hurts sometimes and it sucks because if it's cold out it hurts worse (hello winter!). 8) I have a severe phobia. I could tell you what it is... but I'd rather not. |

90's Revolution
| Oh christ, went to the mall, on black friday... you'd think I'd learn. But nah. Went, saw the 1993 jailbait... saw how desolate and bleek the future of the world is. Went to FYE. Bought Collective Soul's Greatest Hits... I've had this problem with getting songs stuck in my head lately, and most from the radio happen to be from them. So $8... I'll do it. My friend Jay makes a good find and picks up Temple of the Dog. Ultimate 90's band. So naturally, we went to Best Buy and I picked a copy up for myself, $6 cheaper no less. So yeah, Sunshine... those comments with "Mom" on them... yeah those are me... stupid Mom and her laptop. |

Interscope
| I see all these people I used to care about putting themselves in bad positions. Positions to not be successful and setting themselves up for hurt. But I know the helplessness of making that mistake and there's still nothing you can say to any of them to make them wiser. It's just a growing process of learning not to put all your eggs in one basket. Can't believe that in hindsight... it seems like stupidity. But it's just that enthralling to be helplessly attracted to someone that everything else in life doesn't matter and instead, your personal goals, take a backseat to everything you can ever want out of life. Ah well... live and learn. |

Eww
| I'm just peeling out of bed. I feel like someone's sucked all the energy out of me. Might be because of that massive loss of blood last night... yeah it's probably that. |

Good Ideas
| I'm doing my speech on the ramifications of doing nothing but raising the minimum wage for the nation and the exponentially unproportionate increasing costs in every major consumer market. Not to mention our growing necessity for these items in our everyday lives and the way that companies are exploiting this fact. And let's not forget the ever increasing corporate profits that we have been able to do nothing about because all our politicians are in deep pockets and are too busy voting themselves pay wages and diverting money needed to stabilize a fluctuating economy but instead giving it to a war with no clear end in sight. Way to fold Democrats, you didn't even make the GOP put a timetable on the withdrawal from Iraq, and it passed anyway. |

One Day Too Late
| Maybe I'm too much like him... and she's too much like her... and maybe it's just doomed to never work... |

I'm Unsure
| About what comes next. I've been in this position once in my life. Now twice. I know I don't have the lifeline to cut this time though. I can't throw it away just because I feel so low. I know I can't blame myself the way I did last time. I know I put everything I could into this one; and she refused to let it work. I hope she knows how much I worry for her. How much I hope she lives up to everything I know she can be. I hope for her, I prayed for her tonight. I went to church for mass for the first time in over 6 years tonight. Just to feel that I could close my eyes, say it under my breath and try to believe someone higher than me was listening. I don't know where her life is going to take her. But I hope that you're happy. I really do. It's all I ever wanted. I hope you don't fall into the entrapments that life is going to set for you, I hope you're better than that. I never got to find out. Don't ever say you're sorry. Do what you think is right, make the best decisions you can, live them out and know that your life turned out the best way you thought it could. |

Inexorably Stupid
| So I'm studying for my test tomorrow... outlining pointless chapter after chapter... CNN has decided to do a panel about racism, using the N word, African American history, the whole noose on the door thing.... and I'm watching... and I'm thinking... How stupid are these fucking morons? Seriously, here's what the panel consists of: 2 black guys and a white woman. Really? Come on I thought common sense went further than that. Look at it, who's the racist bastards still ruining the world... white men. Seriously now, what would a white racist man care about what 2 black guys and a white woman have to say about our society and cultural discrimination? Earth to CNN, if you'd like your programming to be taken seriously make sure you cover all your bases because I'm pretty sure the problem of discrimination is not black on black crime!! |
