(no subject)
And so I have this urge to just air my thoughts about all these people from high school...but I will resist.
I haven't updated in a while. Ironically, however, I've been thinking about updating more than I did when I updated regularly. I guess since I have so much on my mind, and such crazy things going on, that I have resisted trying to define my position. I've avoided really considering where I am and what I'm trying to accomplish. I've avoided facing a reality that is both the truth and daunting.
I've seen no one from East this summer. Which is somewhat disappointing, but you know, that's how it goes. I've been busy with other people...
Some people are full of shit though.
My summer has been one of the best ever though. I've done alot of interesting, awesome things. I went to the Chautauqua Institute to see Al Gore with Melissa. That was awesome. We were both on the news. And she amazes me sometimes. We went to dinner at this awesome restaurant on the water. A man told us something really sweet. And that was the second time. I knew.
I had this awesome seafood salad. It was good. And seafoody.
The Chautauqua Institute is like a Utopia...it's pretty awesome. It's a very intellectual village. The lake is beautiful there. So is everything else. It was too liberal for me though...I want to raise my kids in some place like that...only less liberal.
I went to see the Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows...and MR.KNAB!!!! He was awesome, I was laughing the whole time he was on stage. Counting Crows were the band I really wanted to see, and they were awesome. Their singer is unbelievable. The Goos were ok...Johnny's voice is going, he had to change the melody to like 3 songs because it was too high for him. Oh well...
My first white concert was a success.
I am very pleased with the recent rulings of the New York and Washington State Supreme Courts. It's the right decision, it's a logical decision, and it does not compare to Brown v. Board. The decision by the usually liberal New York court supports that.
The midterms are coming up...I think the Democrats have been making strides towards an actually coherent, cooperative campaign message. However, there is great disagreement between the DCCC and the DNC...and they need to get their heads out of their asses before we have a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and still 2 Republican Senators from Tennessee. I believe Harold Ford's race in Tenn. is getting more important by the day, and if he could win...it would truly be a victory for America. It would symbolize the defeat of rampant racism in the South...and it would symbolize a public is not blinded by rhetoric.
And you see
Love is not decided in a day
No
Love would not allow itself to be degraded so
To be relegated to a period of time
No
It is only in a moment
That truth seperates itself from falsehoods
And lust is no longer an option
And it is in that moment
That time extends itself
For as long as destiny deems it worthy
So...I guess now is the time to get to what is really on my mind.
I'm scared.
Not for college necessarily...but here's the deal...I decided to go to GW, despite the amount of debt I'd be putting myself into. However, the pressure on me to succeed is now immense. I need to get good enough grades to get into a top law school so I could have the earning power to pay off the debt accumulated in school.
I have an interview August 9th for a potentially life-altering internship which I am nervous as hell about.
My first friday at GW, I have my first performance related audition since December/January, for an amazing position that I would kill to have.
And I am nervous about the transition...I won't lie. I'm worried I'm not smart enough. I'm worried I'll be stuck in mediocrity at GW. I'm worried about money. I'm worried about a lot of things.
One amazing thing is that I'm not worried about the people back home that I care about...I'm not worried they'll not care for me after I'm gone...that's an amazing thing.
A month to go...and I'll be in D.C.
I think that's it...
I hope everyone is doing well
