Wisdom from a Country Song no.1 – If You’re Going Through Hell

July 1st, 2009 · 2 Comments

If you’re going through hell, keep on going,
don’t slow down
If you’re scared, don’t show it
You might get out
Before the devil even knows you’re there

Remind Me…

June 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Remind me again why I’m trying so hard, because I think I’ve forgotten

all this effort, and seeming futility

…it’s breaking my spirit

Presento Mis Zapatos Nuevos

June 15th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I very infrequently buy/get new shoes, so I think it’s worth taking the time to introduce my new shoes to the world.  They’re very special for two reasons:

  1. Mary bought them for me
  2. See if you can figure out the second reason :)

They kinda messed up on the colors inside the shield… Mary noticed immediately :)

miscommunication

CASUAL CONVERSATION IN OUR LIVING ROOM

me: …even if the things I like to do are so nerdy, having textbooks open infront of the computer…

Mary: What??? (looks shocked!)

me: what? It’s what I like to do, you know that

Mary: On the sofa?

me: Huh?

Mary: you do that on the sofa?

me: Do what?

Mary: You just said “…even if the things I like to do are so naughty, having sex on the sofa in front of the computer…”

me: WHAT?

Seriously?

….

And in other news, this was not a good weekend.

Everything has changed, and yet nothing has changed.  What an absolute mind f%ck!

Resistance is Futile

May 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment

The system has prevailed.

Status quo has been maintained to date.

No updates.

Nothing new on that front.

Summer classes have started – a completely unnecessary and yet vital expense

Perhaps the key is not to resist, but to let the wind carry me where it will…
