but i really want to be a good person

i have cut my hours at work and it has drastically altered my opinion on life sucking. currently i have almost the whole weekend to do homework. granted this is a one time deal. but i am spending most of my saturday in the library and i am actually enjoying it. I can't wait to do my reading for my novel class and i may even have time to read something i want to read or go and visit michelle at work. i don't even know what to do without my timetable to things to do...

ever since i read Revolutionary Road i have been thinking a lot about pretension. i would say im a pretty pretentious person on all accounts and i recognize that this is recognizable. over the last month i have been trying to eliminate this pretension, but its odd how it is ingrained in not only my own little world, but everything.

EX from today:
the internet is fucking pretentious. it used to be that having a myspace was pretentious but now deleting ones myspace has an aire of pretension. i am not saying those deleting are pretenious..i am aware of all of the other reasons. hell im a pretty inactive interneter overall. but in me saying THAT am i not also creating an air of pretension? its crazy.

but my point....i want to invoke the spirit of David Holst and Michelle. everyone has something to give. if you ride a bike faster than me, if i can write a better paper than you, if i can name more bands that you dont know it doesnt mean anything.

and i'm gonna be pretentious and say that this is really fucking hard.
