i'm always lost in thought as i walk a block to my favorite neon sign
so i really need to tell you this: your brother is the most amazing person i have ever met.
i'm sure you've heard this so many times tonight [i think you're the sixth person to say this] but i love your brother.
i just want to make sure that you're aware [oh trust me, i know].
in response to the plethora of kerry/edwards signs, including those that say 'hope is on the way' -- "the end of the world is coming soon too, but we're not putting signs up in our yards about it"
"some advice from your big brother, because i don't have anything else to offer you as a model, 'don't drink vodka. if you're going to drink hard alcohol, drink whiskey. jack daniels, jim bean. anything that's someone's name is good.'"
have you ever read noam chomsky? the noam chomsky reader, that's what you need to get. it's all of his older scientific stuff. i've been trying to get your brother to read his older stuff in addition to his new stuff. so what do you want to do with your life? [save the world.] you need to give me more than that, that's what everyone says. [well that's what i want to do, i just haven't figured out how yet.] well what do you like to do? what's your passion? [well what's yours?] i'm going to teach physics. that's going to be my way of saving the world.
if three is all you need [four, four and i'm golden] ok, four. still, that's great.
hey, thanks for coming, sasch. don't worry about making it out for graduation, it's going to be boring anyway. bring a book if you do come. but come back out this summer. then i won't have any classes or anything and we can have some fun.
take care
