Who's back?
I've been mentally napping for a few months, and it's high time that I start writing again. Ms. Leone, my 11th grade English teacher, used to say, "Your mind is a muscle. If you dont exercise it constantly it'll become weak." Since one of my resolutions is to write more, Im going to start online and work my way up to physically writing on paper.
I've made many memories over these last couple of weeks, most notably with Angela and David Kaspyrzk. My lithe and lovely lady, who is slumbering as I type, becomes more precious to me every day. It's hard to relay how I feel about her since there isnt an aspect of my life that she is not a part of. She is entrenced in my mind, wedged in between my hypothalamus and my limbic system, or somewhere in that general viscinity. It makes me jump for joy knowing that I get to see her for a minute; it makes my skin tingle and goosebump when I think of laying in her arms.
David is my Sagittarian brother-seperated-at-birth, and together we wreak havoc on the world. By havoc i mean we drum on the side of a busy street during a full moon, play DDR until we're drenched in sweat, do capoeira and gymnastics together, go to the beach at dawn and jump in fully clothed, and eat at exotic asian restaurants, all within the span of the 3 days he in town from California. Once he moves back to Miami and I'm done with school, we shall once again form the David-&-Mikel tag team, setting out to destroy the walls of conformity and enlighten ourselves and others with love and hot drum beats.
School is great. UF is everything that Miami-Dade College isnt and then some. The teachers are knowledgable and approachable, the campus actually has COLOR, and the transportation there is free. Things started off rocky, and after realizing how hard REAL college is, I busted my buns to stay ahead of the game. I somehow managed to ace all my classes, even Organic Chemistry. Im looking forward to going back to school in a few days, even the late night studying and coffee induced consciousness, because I dont have to live with my folks. Thank the Lord.
I have been bitten by a writing bug. I want to write books. 2 books, in fact. One will be a children's book and the other will be a book on relationships. Once you're done laughing, you'll realize I'm being serious. I know what you're thinking: "Mikel? Giving relationship advice? HE CRAZY!" But alas, I am not crazy. I've learned enough from my own relationships that whenever I've been talking to close friends, it scares me how much I can deduce about their personal relationship habits from simple clues or signs. However, my intuitive sense isnt 100%. It isnt even 90%. There's a lot I have yet to learn, so I will be taking classes in social psychology and psychology of sexual behavior, as well as talking to professors in those fields. Talking to teachers and researchers has given me even more motivation to do so. So if i can fit in this research along with the regular strenious workload i already have, then i may have just enough time to take a breath. Once I've finished my research, I'll start writing the book, which will deal with how to pick up a date/number, keep a girlfriend/boyfriend, how to detect crazy people, and other topics. For now, Im styling it after the 'Worst Case Scenario' books, but that will probably change.
As for the children's book, I look doodling and writing for kids. I've made 2 kids books and am looking forward to the 3rd. It will include animal characters, and i'll use paints or watercolors. Keep reading for book updates
