Did you ever “french roll” their pants when you were a kid?
I just thought of that and I’m laughing hysterically.
I'm pretty much freaking out as to where I'm going to live after summer is over. Should I rent a room and save some cash, or should I get a studio? I'm not big on living with people, but the cheaper the place, the less I'll have to work, and the more I can concentrate on more important things.
The writing is at a standstill. Mostly because I recently acquired Acid Pro 5, Fruity Loops, and various other music production software that's been sucking my time away like whoa. Music can actually be fun when you don't have all the human factors involved, aka lazy band mates that don't do shit! …

struck by a thought while in bed
A simple Google search for the terms "defense spending" (in quotes) returns 477,000 results.
On the other hand, a Google search for the terms "offense spending" returns a measly 161 results.
Man, they've really got those fucking terms switched around.

fresh ink
I'm finally doing it. I'm attempting to write again, and not just in a rambling, psuedo-poetic sense either. This time I actually have a plan, a general storyline, and I'm in the process of creating character sketches and doing geographical research. There is still much work to be done, but once these hurdles are out of the way, the actual writing will be a snap, and fun! It may be slow going when fall begins, but this should give me something creative to focus my energy on in the downtime. I'm thinking about calling it Ink&Watercolors, but this is only tentative, as I'll never know …
getting drunk on a monday tuesday. weird. we were supposed to take the boat out on the lake today but when we got it into the water, the damn battery had died and we couldn't get it started, so we just left. all day fiasco getting it water ready and now this!? ah well. maybe a bonfire tonight, so if anyone wants to partake, give me a jingle. laid back.
i want some netflix friends. if you've got it, let me know.
i would really like to hang out with someone today. maybe go to a park if it's nice out. swings! ahahaha. i'm not spending any money (or very little) so it will have to be free (or cheap).

everything in its right place
four hundred pages into crime and punishment in two days. it's been sitting in my library for about 4 years and it has just now felt right to read it. i remember the exact day i bought it, too. from one of those creepy booksellers at the flea market 4 summers ago on my way to lansing. he was absolutely mad. i offered him $100 dollars for the whole box (they were collector's books, but none were in great shape), all classics. i did some quick calculating and presented my offer to him, though he turned me down. i took 3 of them and told him that he of all people should know that he wasn't …

journal of an american psycho, part 2
been a while, old friend. clean slate? tell that to the ghosts. they've been knocking around in this old head of mine...conspiring through the walls where they've been captured..err...were captured. i should probably leave that analogy dead in its tracks. but the fact is they're here, really here, and i'm not bottling them, and hiding them in places any longer.
mystic thought would have me forgetting my ego, transcending myself so to speak; and believe me, i've tried on a daily basis for years. when i really concentrate i can get it, …

crisp grace notes like a flowing falsehood flavored to taste after brazen attempts to pare film on the firmament, light broken apart and bent aberrancy for the sake of itself, or if for some other thing, I did not see it cross sections of old films and well-functioning defense mechanisms healed better, not so pretty “I feel” kissing you made me sick-frozen from fright of bite troubled is as troubled does scapegoats fancied like play lists played as bedtime stories for empty people with excuses between the bed sheets shrills to a march, whose heart is not there to solidify a fog into all-out …

Today I volunteered my services (and my truck) to a girl that was moving and hadn’t a way to do so. That means this week Derek and I don’t have to volunteer at the soup kitchen to balance out our karma.
Be sure to watch the Detroit Pistons win a basketball game tonight!
After last night's disappointing SNL, I decided to make a cigarette run. I pulled out from the fill station and drove around Lansing because I didn't feel like sitting around the hotel any longer. I drove down Cedar, and headed downtown to check out the skyline for a minute, and then headed in the general direction of the airport just to get my head straight. I saw some wierd lights in the sky but they were pretty faint because of the light pollution. I drove out to the country and saw an amazing episode of Aurora Borealis. Light was flying all over the sky in waves and the electrical …

Finals week is always a blessing. I'm apparently the reigning champion of procrastinators. My work load isn't all that bad, considering I quit Japanese sometime in the middle of the semester, but I did manage to save three papers for my other classes till the last minute. I ended up writing through the night, first for American Studies and then a reflective piece in the morning on Rumi. I ended up e-mailing it and I got a little bit of much welcomed praise. Things like this make my day:

My brother is coming home on leave from Iraq in a couple of days. It's going to be nice to see him. Have a few drinks and play some cards. It's always funny when he comes home because they aren't allowed alcohol in Iraq, and he always gets really shitty and funny drunk when he comes home. Last time he ordered some of this bunk-ass absinthe and sent it home so it'd be waiting for him when he returned. Notwithstanding the bunkness of the absinthe itself, the alcohol content was way up there, and little to say we polished it. Us Robb's are pretty funny drunks. We it's fun rambling about …
It’s so cold in this house. This weekend is supposed to be nice. Exams will be over. Sunny and in the seventies. I really can’t wait.
I shaved off my head like a monk today. Liberating.
So I have been reading Bluebeard; thank you for that. I'm taking it in chunks because I like to read K.V. slowly and taste it. I didn't think I would, but you were right. I like it that you underlined parts in it because I can almost tell what you were thinking when I read those chunks, but I don't like "Potato BARN" written in places because I'm afraid you're going to give away the ending, if you haven't already. I didn't talk to you today because I didn't want to talk to ANYone today, and getting all those calls made me even more reclusive.
I started writing something after a …
