no i did not shave my beard
no i do not have a moustache and sideburns only.
i don't know what you're talking about...
but yes, yes i did go to circle k and get 40s last night.
but, alas, they do not carry the king cobra.
i had to settle for colt 45.
"settle".
i drank them while watching discovery channel.
i know, cable is killing me.
god damn.
but they had a sweet set of programs about savants.
crazy things this brain of ours can do.
i didn't do anything particularly interesting this weekend.
i got a fair bit of work done, which is nice.
always good.
that and soccer made up my weekend.
mellow, i guess.
oh, and at soccer, i got eaten up by mosquitoes.
...
...
let that sink in.
...
it's the middle of october.
mosquitoes.
what?!?!??!
i finally put up the blue lights in my room.
i'm kind surprised at myself for taking so long, but it's nice.
they're on now.
mood setting in deed.
but what mood?
i appear to be writing in relatively short sentences tonight.
weird.
this girl just left my house.
one of my roomates and she are in the courting stage.
i guess that's what you call it.
it's weird, i kinda miss that stage.
with all its awesome awkwardnesses.
and super important 'firsts'.
but i think it's very likely that i won't ever be in that stage again.
and i'm totally fine with that.
but it is nice to think back to last september...
man, i miss things.
i can't wait to go to urbana.
18 days and i will be there.
anybody gonna wanna hang out?
i'm looking forward to that more and more these days.
when i think of how nice it would be to have rob and my friends here.
and, ya know, i'm only gonna be here for another ~10-11 months.
so, is there a good reason for me to develop really good friendships?
wow, so i just remembered back to monday.
that was a crazy day, no doubt.
i had a great, great conversation with a potential grad advisor at uc santa barbara.
it went way better than i thought it might, and i got a really good response from him.
[side note, i need to get cracking on apps]
so yeah, i was riding high for the rest of the day.
until...
monday night football.
that was...
ridiculous?
i about died for 45 minutes, then had hope for another 10, then all hell broke loose.
god damn, that was the craziest game of football i've ever watched.
i do miss playing sports.
i mean, i play soccer, but not seriously.
i'm not very good at it, either.
i'm getting better, but still.
it's not the same.
i was wearing a wrestling shirt from high school last week.
and i got to thinking.
that was from 7 years ago.
that's kinda crazy, no?
7 years is a long time, it's just under 1/3 my life.
a much shorter, but still significant, time is 2.5 years.
that's how long it's been since i've exposed my chin to the light of the sun.
but tomorrow, things will be different.
and a streak will end.
all binges must be balanced my a purge.
and that time has come.
the time has also come for me to switch back to the mode of living which i adopted last year.
less sleep.
more caffeine.
i've got grad school apps.
a collaboration paper.
class.
work.
things need to get done.
and i would like to have some free time.
to, ya know, read and write and other things.
things i don't do enough of as of now.
although i am already plowing through you shall know our velocity.
and, come to think of it, i think i'm gonna go read some more now.
or do work...
aye.
i don't know what you're talking about...
but yes, yes i did go to circle k and get 40s last night.
but, alas, they do not carry the king cobra.
