Good morning...

Well here it is. I always knew this day would arrive, but now that it's here it seems so sudden... And for some reason a little bit insignificant in the grand scheme of things. There's no uncertainty for the future like there seems to be with so many recent graduates. I might not even be completely done with school... but this is the ( Read more... )

I don't do this enough... however, I thought this particular experience warranted its own post... Enjoy!

Today I finished all the work left for the rest of the school year. All that's left standing in between me and graduation are 3 exams... one of which is oddly on graduation day, 4 hours before I have to walk across that stage. No matter.

Thought this was amazingly interesting and awesome. It's a 224 word palindrome written by comedian Demetri Martin.

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.

Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I ( Read more... )

Happy leap year day everyone! Just wanted to share an awesome update I got today ( Read more... )

Another Valentines Day, another single day. Eh who cares? The single life is great! I'll be celebrating by not buying flowers and chocolate, not giving a worthless card with an insincere note inside, then not taking someone out to an expensive dinner at an overrated restaurant. Instead, I'll work out, then enjoy a slight break from my diet - ( Read more... )
