what a geezer i am
is it bad that i can never give someone a correct answer when someone asks me how old i am? i dont do it on purpose. i told someone today, with confidence i might add, that i was 21. WRONG. maybe i'll start telling everyone i spent last summer hunting wolverines in alaska with my uncle while i'm at it. freakin 12 gauge, what dya think
my little cousin Jackson had his 4th birthday party today at the local skating rink. Yes, that's right kids, I have officially gone against my word that i would never return to that terrible place. Things have changed since 1989 apparently, but then again, some things havent changed. most of the same arcade games are still there, and it still smells kind of weird. On a bright note, i defeated my dad in a hard fought best of 3 series in air hockey. then i fraternized with my hill-billy roots and played the Deer Hunter game. you know the one i'm talking about, with the bright orange pump-action shot gun and the 8 bit graphics. Sigh...fun times. I cant wait for that episode of Wifeswap to come on that features our wonderful little corner of civilization. Go us!!!
my 7th grade social studies teacher was there. i miss those days when i made good grades. the computer at MSMS couldnt register how high my grade was in her class, cut me off at 108 when i really got a 112. Now i'm lucky if i can get a 112 on a 175 point exam :(
I did take a moment to figure up some of my grades today. Right now i have 2 As and 2 Cs. Looks like if the CoP wants to kick me out again, they aren't going to have bad grades as an option. Take that, "the man" !
The days seem to last longer down here in muhlenberg i've noticed. Can lexington kentucky actually be fast paced living, or does my wonderful home here in greenville defy the laws of time? I took a nap today. I miss naps. It's also the first time in a good long time i've gotten a chance to cuddle with a lovely lady. my cat turns 14 this upcoming christmas. i wish i could take her back to Lex with me
I counseled my mom on some of the medications she's taking to beat this bug she's fought over the last week or so. UK makes patient counseling out to be this LIFE-ALTERING MIND-BLOWING service to the community. It's important yes, but it shouldnt be ballooned into such a big deal. Tell the people what to expect, what to look out for, ask for any questions they might have, and out the door they go.
it's funny that the length of my journal entries when i'm in greenville significantly exceed the length of those when i'm at my apartment
i've switched back into more of a philosopher's approach to relationships lately. (i.e. not having any flicker of hope for starting a relationship in the distant future, circa B.A.) My class at pharmacy school is absolutely ridiculous when it comes to beautiful women. day in day out i guess it can spoil a guy. then there's one of my friends in the computer science field (not you nick, hope things are going well with your little lady these days), who has 6 girls in his field. period
that got the ball rolling for me anyway. is it better to be surrounded by beautiful women that you have no chance of going out with, or to not have any at all?
coming from my side, i say it's like being a diabetic in the middle of a candy shop. while it certainly is pleasant having such great friendships with these women, at the end of the day, it's still just me being envious of whoever they're going out with. From the other guy's standpoint, he says "well at least you get to talk with them". In that light, i see what he means. but i'm hesitant to agree. Back in high school and at MSU, i didnt really put myself out there in the dating field. Even though i would be lonely, i could quell my sadness by saying "well, there's just not that many options on the board right now" and go on to fight another day. Nowadays, i'm in a big city, have good friends with good single friends (i guess. not that i've met any of them), but still lonely (and whiney, but only on LJ i swear. No comments from the peanut gallery please)
i guess what i'm trying to say is: WHATS A GUY GOTTA DO TO GET A GIRL TO DROP OUT OF THE SKY AROUND HERE??
its just a joke
It does bring me to man's cruelest irony though. Everyone says it happens to you when you expect it the least. I know this to be true. Amanda came knocking on my door when i was at the pinnacle of being a single guy. Even living in a fraternity house for crying out loud. is it possible to feign not caring so that new lady will pop into my life, and was that statement blasphemous since i believe the Man Upstairs knows all and plans all?
who needs dating. i wish i could just skip to the "talk on the phone for hours about nothing" stage. that's my favorite part anyway. Spooning has to be a photo-finish 2nd though
on to bed. whoever thought church at 8:45 was a good idea. i'd rather "come alive" around 12. or maybe 3:30
toodles,

jackson has a girlfriend named madison. was there like a 5 year stretch when everybody was naming their kid madison or mackenzie or what? just like america, trying so hard to be different that everyone ends up the same
