| Yesterday was like Melatonin day around here. Everywhere I went people were sleeping or on their way to bed. Called Mags, she was asleep. Went by later, Amber was asleep on the couch. Jordan and I skipped our last classes to take naps, Peter missed work. Lethargy. I haven't had much homework this week and I'm in a good mood after chatting with my Logic TA today and finding out that I'm not actually making a D but rather a B. Hah. That was a load off. I've just been downloading music and chilling. My computer's finally out of the living room. Feng Shui is back in Casa Blown. Thanksgiving weekend is going to be so relentlessly busy that I'm almost inclined to stay in Austin. Not really. But it is gonna be a pain. My sister's bringing several people home from UNC and relatives will prolly come in and I've made plans to hang out with a million people. But the food. Waxahachie's becoming fucked up for entirely new reasons, some of which might stem from this thing I've heard tell of.. You'll hear cooky, outlandish tales of the government smuggling coke and smack into the US while cutting off drugs that aren't, y'know, harmful before they can get in. Well Hachie's dry as a bone as far as pot goes and very few people anywhere can get mushrooms but those who used to just buy and smoke bud are now fucking cokeheads. Cokeheads! Jesus Christ. God forbid they should have access to drugs that would actually benefit them at the expense of a few brain cells. Still no quotes. I'm only half sorry, because saying crazy, quotable things is also your job. Hop to it. I think I'll set a reasonable goal of updating twice a week. That'd be better than three times a month. I don't even know if you read this anyway. Music: Queens of the Stone Age - God Is In the Radio Rap-Brand Nubian - Don't Let it Go to Your Head (Neptunes Remix) The Beta Band - Squares DJ Krush - Dig This Vibe The weekend was definitely interesting. Friday was pretty standard, not much was going on so a bunch of people just came over here. Saturday the 21st st co-op had like 21 kegs so we went for the spectacle, fought for beer for two hours, then went to a party (Sach's) with good beer that we could actually get to. It was a good time for both the spectacle and general partiness. I'm gonna diddle around now. |

| I and people around me seem to be experiening similar behavioral trends lately. Lots of people are having apparently life-altering revelations resulting from absolutely nothing spectacular. Someone's sipping coffee at 3 on a Wednesday and suddenly they're having ephiphanies and reevaluating their life. I've noticed other confusing things lately for the first time, the most superficial of which is that greeks put "Go ChiSomething" on their shirts. I can understand "Go Mascot" or something similar, but what do greek organizations accomplish? What encouragement do they need to give themselves? Maybe I'll be a writer. It seems to be something I enjoy and am good at. I'm certainly not going to be an accomplished programmer, haha. I was really only interested in programming because of the prospect of making games, and the game development market is small and their staffs are also, so I'd have been a program monkey for Cisco or something. I've neither the patience nor gastronomical fortitude for that. So no typical jobs. I wouldn't be able to just be a writer. I'd never be able to just write a novel about spies with a few plot twists, or a historical account of the helicopter. I'd have to do something of significance. I don't do typical bullshit. That's a waste of time. No quotes, sorry. This week wasn't too bad. I did horribly on my Logic test, but that's to be expected since I don't give two shits about it anymore. It's logic for cs majors, and I'm no longer a cs major. Where's my motivation supposed to come from now? Drugs? Yeah. Last weekend was kind of insane, especially Saturday. We hosted the Celebracion tournament here but my foot was hurt and I couldn't play so I didn't make it to the IM fields until like 3. Jordan was no help either. Maggie got hit in the eyeball with a frisbee and I was bored and hurt and chivalrous so we went to get her prescription and eat. Aside from her corneal abrasian and my bruised foot, the day was pretty great. It was a day of festivities and at about 2am I left Peter's place and a half hour later found my self literally surrounded by people from Hachie, and discussing and talking to people I hadn't thought about in years. It's funny when you meet people you used to hate but realize you no longer can because they're no longer hatable. People actually can improve. Lets you release a big sigh of relief that you decided against the shooting spree plans. Ha! Kidding... ::cough:: I finished Dune again. Frank Herbert. Whoa shit man. Now I'm onto the first of about a dozen books I want to read. I'm planning on cutting back on TV so significantly that I'll only watch CNN, South Park and The Sopranoes. Because TV fucking sucks. While on the topic, I was thinking I should be in advertising, because hey, have you seen commercials lately? Jeebus Christ. You have to realize that these abominations went through a long and well-paid chain of command and were given the go ahead at virtually every link. These people went to college for fuck's sake! I could make a fortune. Cliche: people are stupid. Fact: most people are stupid. I watched Bowling for Columbine today and it was just what I needed. It's nice to be reminded that everything doesn't function as beautifully as in the vicinity of a major university. Our little bubble here is great, but with all the warm fuzzy and happy joy joy it's easy to forget about the real world. Not to say I'd forgotten it (far from it, in fact), but it's easy to forget that not everybody is this happy. Being well-adjusted and having fun all the time makes you think more about philosophy than poverty. I want to write about a college-educated guy who has ridiculous and stupid opinions disguised as reasonable ideas. You know this guy because he's every other person you see. Rascist, homophobic, selfish, egotistical, shallow. And everything horrible he does is justified superficially. And at the end the guy fucking dies, because me and Jay kill him. And I keep having discussions where people whom I thought were intelligent and open to new ideas reject solid concepts out of hand because they're relatively outlandish. 9/11 conspiracies offer the most poignant example. I'm told, "I just can't believe they would just allow that to happen," which is a ridiculous statement for dozens of reasons, or "They have no proof; we've no reason to believe them" which I find personally insulting because if there were no proof, they must consider me stupid and easily swayed by an unfounded conspiracy theory. Someone even said Alex Jones uses the same propaganda tactics as the Nazis. That's like calling Ralph Nader a Stalinist. Give me a fucking break. So it's late and I'm tired and hungry.

| I know, I'm overdue. I've had a lot to do. Last weekend was the Harvest Moon tournament in Arkansas and the only reason we considered it fun is because we've managed to largely block Saturday from our memories. It was 42 and rainy all day long. And it fucking blew. The partying and what not was fun Saturday night, especially since we took over the most central room in the house, danced for an hour and a half then left. On Sunday the Ultimate was a lot better cos the weather didn't suck and we won both our games. Taking 9 hours is pretty fun, but I can't discuss these things in front of friends like Mags who's flipping shit over schoolwork. I read Dune all afternoon today - I'm reading the first one again - meanwhile half my friends are having nervous breakdowns and the other half have like 9 hours and no homework ever. I've been alternating between really busy and fucking bored playing Counter-Strike. Free time is cool cos I get to listen to music and drink beer and shit but I've conditioned myself to feel guilty for sitting around not doing homework for more than 90 minutes. That makes it bittersweet but I'm scared to fall out of the habit. Update: Quotes - A few One of the funniest things on this earth is the Asian equivalent of a modern Lawrence Welke show that comes on public access. I simply cannot convey the hilarity of Asian people dancing and singing to salsa and weird ass pseudo-big band music on stage in front of a packed house. The funniest part is prolly the ghetto kids dancing hip-hop style behind this one hot singer when the music is just.... oh man. You just have to see it. It is unparalelled. Registering went pretty smoove. Shockingly enough, I got into a Jazz Appreciation class which is supposedly impossible to get into. I'm doing a weird variety of classes like another leg of upper-level math, political philosophy, philosophy, sociology, and history. It should be interesting. So the Republicans rule the goddamn world now and I'm fucking terrified. Alex Jones makes so much more sense at times like this. Makes you wanna fucking scream. Holy shit. April got to go to the inaugural ball and meet lots of famous politicians and shit cos she works for the Republican party, which is cool I guess, but fuck, I'd rather the country weren't even more in the hands of those who are seriously fucking it all up. What are our pressing issues? Increased border security, economic recovery and stability, elimination of Al Qaeda. And now that they've accomplished none of these things America thought it'd be good to put more of their kind in office. What the FUCK? South Park is absolutely brilliant. So are Chuck Palahniuk and Frank Herbert. Oh yeah, you should always be bathed and reasonably dressed for the sole reason of the slim possibility of running into your ex-girlfriend. Hehe, people are having babies. Oh my Christness. I've got more to say but I'm losing interest. By all odds, I'll update soon. Yeah.
