I'm currently downloading some music to my iPod/computer: John Coltrane - A Love Supreme and Mahler's Symphony #10. These are two albums Blevins bought me for occassions (birthday and graduation, I believe). Anyhow, I listened to them both only a few times, but I've finally realized their value just recently with all of the music being introduced ( Read more... )

I'd like to first get the shitty shit out of the way that is my semester. Ugh.

Monday night class is my Teaching Creative Writing (II) course, which entails more work than any human being should be able to produce in a 15 week period. Basically we have to create a course. In this course, which should be more of an introductory course for undergrads ( Read more... )

I shuffled my iTunes playlist and using the top 5 songs, I'm going to explain (lyrically) why I like the song... and how I feel at the moment. mmm. I'm in a word-mood today.

1.
A house of fire, a wall of stone
a door that once was open-
an empty face and empty bones
Who ate your heart? You're cold inside.
You're not the one I hoped for...

I hate to say that 2007 was a bad year, because overall, I've achieved much more this past year than any previous. I have things to be proud of: getting published a few times, losing weight, graduating college, getting accepted into graduate school, and being independent. Still, there was the stress of all those good things and the added stress of ( Read more... )

That's it! I'm cutting out my ovaries and growing a mustache...

I'm mostly drunk, but I wanted to comment on a few things that have recently happened:

-received a bill for $785.00 from my ER visit (this is after my shitty insurance coverage)
-received the copy of Nerve Cowboy that I was accepted into
-started working on my submission for Nerve Cowboy's chapbook competition
-realized that I want to go caroling ( Read more... )

I got my grades for the semester. I think the minus and plus system needs to go, unless every school is going to do that. It bites. So I have a 3.89, since one of my A's was an A-. Blows.

Blevins came in tonight. The older I get the more I appreciate him. He is a super-genius, man. I initially liked him for being clever and having the ability to ( Read more... )

Today was completely awful. Not only did I get a total of three hours of sleep, due to some issues and drama, but a lady at work screamed at me so loudly that everyone in the store could hear her. Ugh. Sometimes I want to slap myself silly for working in retail. Oh HAI I have a degree and I'm not stupid. Alas, this is what she called me... "stupid ( Read more... )

So, every year at this time I begin thinking about what it is that I want to accomplish for the new year ahead. 2008! Jesus Christ, I feel like I've been hiding under a rock for the last few years - in fact, the other day I went to write the date on some Giant Eagle shit and started writing 19... Are you kidding me?

In the past, it's been to diet, ( Read more... )
