You are all welcome as guests, no matter who you are. It's in the basement of Friley. I will give you a random item that has been blessed by a certified Reverend of the Universal Life Church for stopping by.
I've been noticing little things and the way they affect my life a lot lately. Little coincidences, seeing people, things I happen to have in my pockets at just the right time, shit like that. I like them, because they give me a sense of some sort of underlying order, even if it is meaningless. I remember driving home from Christmas last year and visualizing a web connecting me to all the people I was in some way related to in the small towns and cars on the highway as they passed by, and it's sort of like that on a much larger, more complex scale.
I became a vegetarian after a series of bizarre encounters with animals that seemed determined to die in front of me and subsequent meditations on death.
Summer's treating me well; I'm sure it will treat all you high schoolers well too. I've been doing a lot of exploring and climbing trees and walks in the forest and in general a lot of stuff. Whenever I'm not working, it seems like I'm going on an adventure, and I really can't think of many better ways to spend my summer. It's a relief to constantly be interested in what I am doing, and the feeling of being intent on anything, even if it is finding cool new bridges or climbing trees.
Oh yeah graduation that was cool I guess. My graduation party was decent, other people's graduation parties were alright if a little weird, in that awkward way gatherings are when they include people thrown together by some circumstance that is beyond their control. Commencement was fine, I was happy to see people graduate and shit. A sense of closure is always good, especially when it is too a period as controlling to your life as high school is. Although I would've been fine just getting the fuck out of Ames, but I guess a meaningless ceremony was aight too.
We should hang out. It's always nice to chill with people you don't usually talk to, don't you think? It doesn't have to be meaningful, we could just go out for coffee and chat for awhile. It's just healthy to get different people's perspectives in your head, and I don't talk to most of you nearly enough.
P.S. mandatory comment on shit other that my head: what the fuck is with Iraq? The sound you hear is the Republican waterhead hegemony on world politics crumbling, and I love it. The time I am in college is going to be a watershed era for global politics; what an invigorating time to be alive and changing the world. I can't fucking waitttt.
PPS I have a cool welt on my upper thigh from paintball, you should see it sometime.
