Hello again, all. Once more, I am making a quick update. In about a half an hour we have to leave for my family reunion, where we'll pass some time and eat some good family food. This past Thursday was Warped Tour, as I'm sure most of you reading this know. Maybe I'll elaborate on the following statement in my next entry, but let it suffice to say for the moment that it rocked. It brought to my attention the whole juggalo vs. punk tension, a subject upon which I also plan to expound in my next entry.
As the last month of summer is coming in, I feel more or less satisfied in my social accomplishments for the summer. There are still people to see and things to do--such as Cedar Point (!!!), but I'm satisfied with where I am now.
I think the forces that control the universe want me to look more deeply into various meditative practices. There were these guys all over warped tour handing out books on the subject; I found out when I talked to one of them that they are monk guys who live in some monastery around Wheeling. Also, in my exchanges with Dr. Sanford, the topic came up, and he recommended a number of readings to me. So yeah...whenever I get around to looking into that, I have a number of choices about where to start.
Tomorrow, I swear to God I am going to try and move my rooma round. I have said this about thirty seven times, but every time it hasn't worked out for one reason or another; alternative plans have come up, I have squandered too much time wondering exactly how to go about it and not actually doing anything, etc. etc. But this time I'm determined. I have wanted to do this since before summer even fucking began, and here we are at July 29.
This is the longest entry I've made in a while. Hopefully, more are to come. For now, though, I am out. Thanks for reading.
