I changed the name of my blog....


but its not like it matters. The last time I wrote anything on here the only thing you could find on tv was presidential campaign rhetoric and low-budget, poorly produced commercials for the local races. I'm glad thats all over. Now I can get back to Sportscenter and Discovery Health specials.

It's a horrible feeling when the pulse from your head resonates off your pillow under your ear like a screaming alarm clock. My heart feels like it's on fire today. Yesterday I wasted 1 whole day reading (Animal Farm), watching dogs play (slobber/sniff butts/face-hump-dominate each other), watching football(FL/AL; OK/MS), eating (oatmeal, mccalisters club, artichoke/spinach dip and a box combo from cane's) and drinking (3 beers and a shot at walk-ons and half a dozen beers at Sarah's). The healthiest part of my day was Michelob Ultra, but since I drank 2 shares past moderation, that probaly shouldn't count(even moderation should be adhered to moderately). Henceforth(!), my body is still removing toxins and my blood feels like gasoline as it passes through my two-cylinder engine. The back of my throat feels like my sink when my dishwasher is running (not sure that one will land).

I am taking a break from studying for my physics final, which is next SATURDAY night. I keep telling myself that if I can get an A in the class it will sign my vet school acceptance letter. This is, of course, wishful thinking to keep me motivated. (Above photo: http://www.slightlywarped.com/crapfactory/curiosities/onemanstrash.htm)

Indelible wisdom:
I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never — "

"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

-Stephen Maria Crane, 1895

Sarah Palin is a flibbertigibbet.


Vonnegut was right, you'd have to be crazy to want to be president. I watched the veep candidates debate the other night and really wasn't impressed. Who do you believe? They both responded to questions (not answered) by saying how the opposing team had it wrong or was to blame. They pointed fingers at each other like siblings blaming each other for breaking mom's vase. What are we supposed to get from these things? All one can do is judge who was quicker on their feet, wittier, or smarter. Based on that criteria I have to say I was not impressed with Sarah Palin, though most stations gave her credit for doing well. Every time she spoke it was like hearing a line from a McCain ad talking about Mavericks and the surge. What a hack! Give me some intelligent information on how you are going to protect me from getting screwed and not just relieve ol' g-dubya with the same old white man politics.

AND THAT VOICE! That voice of hers is enough to cut ties with all our allies. Reminds me of Bobby's mom on Bobby's World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5eDlwcm95I). After watching that video I think it might actually be her! On that note, is it just me or does Joe Biden have a weird looking head? Theres something off there. Not sure if its his fair skin and very big mouth and teeth or his funky hair. From the front it looks like a full head of hair, but from the side he looks nearly completely bald. hmm.

I hate Physics, but love to complain about it.


I want to become a better writer and stop starting sentences with 'I.'
The only writing in my life these days are pretentious personal statements or informal emails.
Most of the grammar I learned in grammar school is forgotten.
So I started writing on here. I'm no Perez Hilton (Avery loves that guy), but I think I'm getting there.

I listened to old songs by AFI tonight. What happened to them? ...What happened to me? If bands change their sound and take flack because of it, the same should probably be said for the listener as well. Five years ago it was Rancid, Poison the Well, Sick of it All... now its Iron & Wine, Death Cab, Belle and Sebastian, Tegan and Sara. Then again, five years ago it was drink a whole case in one night, take lots of adderall and see how late you can stay up, play the punch your friends in the nuts game. Things change.
