This is me signing off for the next few weeks. I am about to enter the belly of the beast. You see, I've decided to "better myself" with a little thing we call higher education. Bullshit. How is this bettering myself? If only you guys could see me right now. I'm malnourished, sleep deprived, dehydrated, dirty, and slightly delirious. Does that sound like self betterment? I think not. Self betterment would be me, on some beach sleeping in a hammock, with something alcoholic resting next to me.
The problem is... It isn't in my genes; the whole "smart" thing. I come from a long line of hard workers. We aren't learners we're workers! Self-Made Men! So it takes me quite a bit more to get these mass amounts of information into my head. I'm not saying I'm stupid. Oh no, I'm becoming quite the little genius these days, but I have to work my ass off for it. I rewrite notes, make flashcards, go to all my lectures, go to study groups, read the text books, read the supplement textbooks....And on and on and on... Basically I'm beating my brain into submission. And in the process everything else goes to pot. Enough bitching I'm done bitching, because guess who's seeing Bob f-ing Dylan on Friday night? The malnourished, chapped lipped, twitching freak, that's right ME.
But in all honestly prayers would be appreciated. I actually caught myself begging God today for clarity in my head for all these exams. Specifically if you could pray on Thursday the 13th.
I'll catch you all on the flipside.

rose, good words friend. but i say screw the beach. i know that in letting your lips chap and mal-nourishing yourself (drinking only diet coke instead of say... food) you have been concerned with greater things. that is beautiful, and that is passion. there is nothing wrong with vacations and we both know that professional sports obsessions are no different than masturbation. you are the least lazy person i know. my prayers are with you friend.
rose pose, you are more then welcome to vacation on the beaches of ventura any time you want. i dont know of any hammocks laying around though. all your hard work is going to pay off and when you come out this way i will most definately feed you. i love you-nads
p.s. b complex will give you extra energy.
keep on truckin'
because life is what happens when you're making plans. because chapped lips mean that it's windy outside. and dry. reading is fun.
out.
