"I Just Can't Imagine That It's My Time Yet..."
It's been a while since I've written anything of consequence... in fact, it's been about a week. That's a pretty decent spell for me these days.

2x4s and Alleyways
Have you ever gotten the feeling that your mind is simply trying to self-destruct? Nothing, and I mean nothing has gone terribly wrong this week. Still, mentally I feel like I've been beaten with a 2x4 and left for dead in a piss-and-puke-soaked alley. The weather hasn't even been crappy, and I've even gotten a lot of shit done.
Student Orientation
I've really had a terrible week of mental health. Weird thing is, nothing set it off or anything. I'm not mad or depressed or otherwise upset about anything or anyone in particular, it's just my general state of mind right now. I hate it when I get like this.

C-
The trip to Muncie proved to be generally successful, I guess. I really didn't get to help a lot because Tim and his friends kept ditching us. My parents and I would go to a meeting place for work and wait for them to show up. Half of the time, they didn't show so a lot of time was wasted by waiting.

A Symbolic Gesture
I'm going to Indiana here in a few minutes. I don't want to go. I'd really rather stay in Ohio and enjoy my weekend with Amy. I'm going to help my parents move. They haven't moved since July of 1985.

My Somewhat Rude Introduction to Sociology
So because of the teaching gig down at Tuscarawas, I had to rearrange my schedule. That class, which is during Summer III, conflicted with an Intro to Sociology class that I had scheduled during that session as a prerequisite for my cognate. That means I had to take Sociology during Summer I, which was already a week over once I figured this out. A week in summer school is the equivalent of four weeks in a regular semester.

Post No. 300
I had an interesting thought. I just considered converting my mail to a GMail account, since it seems to be what everybody is doing. I've heard that GMail is so much better in so many ways than every other email provider ever to exist that it's like 100 spontaneous orgasms to receive an email on their set-up. Or something. Then I realized a couple of things:

Toes
I haven't written in a few days. It's not because I'm terribly busy (I'm not) and it's not because anything exciting is happening (it's not).

An Awful Textbook
I'm beginning to think that taking the Geography of the Middle East was a mistake. Don't get me wrong, I think the prof is a cool guy and he knows his stuff. He's a visiting professor import from Palestine (or the West Bank as the Western media calls it). But a combination of his soft-spoken manner, a touch of Arabic accent (certainly something I'm not used to), my hearing loss, his unintelligible PowerPoint slides and the fact that they're building something loudly right outside the classroom... that's all made it hard to deal with. That, and the fact that it's two hours a day, every day.

Supergrover > Superman
Has there ever been a lamer superhero than Superman? I mean, he really is lame. He flies. He's strong. He has x-ray vision. All of these things would be nice additions to my pathetic arsenal of crime-fighting weapons, but it's really just terribly uninventive.
Bart Simpson, Gotham City, Taylor University, and Amy's $4,000 Speeding Ticket
I think what I'll miss most about my laziness is my lazy mornings. See, Amy always wakes me up to let me know she's going to work. After that, I doze for an hour or so before I stir and get on with my worthless day. Though, come to think of it, I'll still be able to do that to some extent....

Dicks
I may receive excellent financial news in the next few days. I won't disclose anything about it until I hear more, because otherwise I will get my hopes up. That's always been a problem with me, in regards to music, girls, sports, etc. I always get my hopes up and have them crashed. Makes the roller coaster ride that much more fun. Or it makes me emo.

Random Thoughts, Volume 10
Wow. The 10th volume of my collections of random thoughts. This deserves a beer or something.

Jealousy
I really want to go on a roadtrip. An old friend, Stephanie Ross, whom I knew from music camp, stopped by a couple days ago and spent the night here with her friends. They were on the way from Albuquerque to Boston, as she is moving up there. I was insanely jealous of their road trip.

iTunes Survey (Why Not?)
Amy's trying to sleep and I'm bored. Today wasn't much to talk about. Mom's chemo is going well, according to an e-mail I got from her. That makes me happy. Otherwise, today was boring. Pleasant, but generally boring. So, you're getting a cheesy-assed survey.

$11.10
I put together the syllabus and course materials for my summer class today. It's going to be weird because instead of three 50-minute periods per week for 15 weeks, it'll be two 2.5 hour periods per week for eight. Luckily, it's still the Intro to Geography class, so the materials will be the same, just the class organization will be different.
