Mary's Pad

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

~ Rodney Atkins ~

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

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

I’m going to walk all over you

Makes me homesick

No you can’t have them. They’re mine.

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!

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…
