Cut Your Teeth on Revolution!




I'm currently digging tunnels, making plans, and talking constantly in order to ward off fear. Fear of what you say? Fear of dying/living/failing/succeeding/etc. That is the answer. Hopefully I make sense to someone. Here's the news in the format I am most comfortable writing in.

-I finally got my bike and it is awesome. I named it Big Blue. Original, I know. The tires are kevlar. Kevlar man! That means, if someone shot at me, and it hit my tire I would be safe. More about the bike later.
-Freedom isn't free. Everyone should know that. I've been trying to define freedom/success for myself recently and it is VERY difficult. I get tired of making plans. Perhaps I will just start going with the flow. Why am I in such a rush to succeed anyway? Hmmmm...
-School is boring. I'm sorry but it is true. Everyone expects something from you. Did they expect something from Han Solo? Yes, and look where that got him. Don't you wish he still was out smuggling shit with Chewie. Drama and relationships are overrated. I like books. They never talk back.
-Pain in the ass customers are only lintballs in the pocket of my life. I will survive.
-Alvis Dunn is a cool professor. But he wants too many papers. Doesn't he know I have a blog to barely keep up with.
- I want to start saying that everything is "crispy." It's gonna be cooler that "cool." I mean crispier that "cool."
-I am taking another class with Eric Mortensen. AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!
-Foreign films are always depressing. Why can't they make something happy? Oh wait, Miyizaki saves the day again! Hurray for Kiki's Delivery Service! Booo for everything else!
-Kevin Bacon in the movie Quicksilver changed my life. I believe Kevin, I believe.
-Coffee is good. Starbucks coffee is good to drink. Major corporations are bad. All small businesses aspire to be big business. Thus all business bad. Starbucks bad. Coffee still good. We okay.
-Don't buy the Cloudbook. Never take technology advice from me. Always ask Emily, as she knows everything before everyone else.
-I'm going to Seattle. Is it sad that I'm excited because that's where Dark Angel is set?
-I still haven't finished watching Dark Angel. There are two episodes left, and after that the show is over. If I never watch them then it never ends. My imagination is great, though decidedly lewd when it comes to a superhuman Jessica Alba who goes into heat 3 times a year. Sigh.
-Spanish class is fun. I want to learn Spanish so bad, but a foreign language is so intimidating.
-Reese's has an Elvis inspired candy. It is delicious, although definitely from the King's later years. Mmmmm...
-Warm weather=pretty girls in summer clothes, thus warm weather and pretty girls in summer clothes are > π (I mean pie!).
-go to here because i said so (also, it's crispy)
-Technology blurs time and place of all memories.
-The signs of progress are urban and technological, as opposed to land and liberty. And that ain't right. Read Cory Doctorow and any other ribofunk you can find. It's the future you know. Viva Zapata.
-Life is life, everyone always lives, no matter what happens (unless you die, unfortunately). There is always that aspect to look forward to. You will always be living. Until you're dead. In which case it probably won't matter that much to you anyway.
-I quit smoking. The best comment I received was from Jed's Mama, "I am so proud and happy for you that you have quit smoking! Congratulations!
Keep on "Huffing" as you pedal your new bike, but no more "Puffing" on that nasty old weed,
Smokeless Sue" It's amazing.
-Do you put the fence around the cow or around the garden? Think carefully before you respond, but please do so in the comment box.
-I dreamed about Precious.

Emily looks so pretty in her helmet. Sometimes I dream about Precious too, it makes me happy and sad at the same time. I like reading your blog.

I agree with Annie--Emily looks "special" in her helmet.

But, for that matter, so do I.

So does everyone.

Is Drain Bramage really that bad?

You put the fence around the cow. If you just fenced the garden, the cow would get out and you could lose her.

I love your blog. You gotta put The 4 Hour Workweek on your recommended list. Trust me!

just wondering, is the trip to Seattle a pilgrimage for the mother load of Starbucks coffee? Named your bike huh? Already forming an emotional attachment. I bet Hans never had to write a 10 page paper (12 pt. font, double-spaced)on intergalactic foreign policy during the 1st millennium.
