Struggle

I'm really not doing too well right now.

...Can I help you with something?

I love my dogs, but I sometimes wonder what they think of me. I don't know why, but I occasionally feel the need to just grab my dog's face. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone randomly came up to me on multiple occasions and grabbed my face, but honestly it doesn't seem to phase my dog. Maybe he thinks, "well maybe I'll get a treat after this." I'm actually pretty sure those are his thoughts on a lot of things. It would be so easy to be one of my dogs.

I think it's interesting that dogs look you in the eye.

McRib vs. Turkey: Round 1

Happy Thanksgiving!

I woke up to the "Thanksgiving Feast" today. We had turkey, dressing (i always thought this was a strange term for that weird stuff that goes with turkey), grapes, pineapple, rice o roni, and some nasty spiced peaches. I don't really eat much, and I also don't really care all that much about food, so Thanksgiving isn't really that great of a holiday for me**. In fact, I don't see why food is that big of a deal. Maybe it's due to the fact that I grew up solely on cereal and never had any home-cooked meals, but honestly a good meal just doesn't have the same affect on me as it does other people. I personally hate spending lots of money on food. I think it's wasteful. I can't stand going to nice restaurants because I never want to spend that much money on something that I won't get that much joy out of. I know it's unhealthy, but I have no problem getting a $2 meal from a fast food place or staying home and eating a $0.33 pack of ramen. Cereal still dominates though. I wonder how many bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch I've had in my life. Probably 2 billion.

Speaking of food, I had a McRib today. Yes, I had a McRib on Thanksgiving. No, I didn't drive to McDonald's, I already had it in my fridge. We had plenty of left over "real" food, but I just wanted some boneless pig. Unfortunately, it got the better of me. I don't think I'll be eating much more of those any time soon.

I put up my Christmas tree today. It'll take a while before all the ornaments are on it, but it still makes me happy.

Drought (noun):

It's Thanksgiving break now, and I just watched Ocean's 13 with Papa. I went to Madison for the first time in a while today. I didn't really see many people I knew.

Going back there really made me think about all the people that have just sort of disappeared since college started. I used to see them everyday, now I don't even talk to many of them. Obviously you're going to miss some people more than others, but I really expected to stay more in touch with some people. There are the one's that really stand out too. I miss them. You think, well maybe people just change, but I think I may have changed a lot too. I wonder how many people will just vanish from my life after college. Or even after this year. I don't think I would have any interaction with people if I didn't live on campus.

I don't have any real close friends. There's no one that I'm completely comfortable with. I used to have friends like that. It's strange hanging out with people that I don't really see myself having much in common with. It's frustrating too. I feel so different sometimes. Maybe that's why it's so hard for me to keep in touch with people. Maybe I'm the one not worth keeping in touch with. That's a depressing thought, but I'm not a real exciting person.

I'm a little bit bored. This is going to be the first Thanksgiving of my life that I spend only with my parents. I miss the rest of my family.

Ramen and Spork

Yeah...I don't really have much to write. I just am sitting here... eating noodles... with a taco bell spork...

The Logic of American Politics

I am putting off writing a Political Science term paper right now. It's kind of important, 20% of my grade. I don't enjoy writing papers. I'm not convinced they really make me smarter either.

Once again, I am playing poker. I think it's safe to say that I have been dominating the $3.40 Turbo Sit and Gos on PokerStars. I've placed in 6 out of my last 7 with 4 1sts, 1 2nd, and 1 3rd. If only I could put this effort into my school work. I'd have at least all Bs. Of course, everytime you think you're actually getting good at poker you start losing. Which is what seems to be going on right now. I've lost 2 tournaments since I started writing this. And It's not like I wasn't paying attention. Things are just going the wrong way. Maybe this is God's way of telling me to write my friggen paper.

goombas?

So, I just used the pencil sharpener that's in the bathroom of my dorm. That pencil sharpener made my day when I discovered it. I want to take a picture of it, but I'd feel strange since I would half to bring my laptop into the bathroom because it's the only "camera" I own.

I don't like noise

I do not feel well. I'm very tired and I've been irritable lately. I think I need a break from school. I'm not really the kind of person that gets mad often, but I am really starting to get tired of some people. I hate feeling like this, but I can't help it. I've started playing poker again just because I'm so bored and it lets me avoid interaction. I can't get a good hand. It's probably not a good idea to be writing this while I'm playing. A5s to 109s. I lose. Awesome. Oh well. I want to play Mario.

Letting the days go by.

I guess this picture should have gone with my previous post, but meh. I don't actually own a camera.

This might turn out to be the least productive year of my life. I'm taking 3 classes, and not doing well in any of them. That's pathetic, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I dread going to each class, and I never leave thinking that I've really accomplished something. Nothing interests me. Time has been flying.

On a different note, I just won $3.30 playing a $1 single table poker tournament. I rule.

Thirty-Six Cans of Mountain Dew

The idea of a blog seems pretty foolish. Well, maybe not for everyone. I can see why someone would read a famous person's blog... or even maybe one of their close friends' blogs. But seriously, what can I possibly say that someone will really care about? Chances are, if YOU are reading this, YOU are possibly more bored than I am right now. And for that, I am sorry.

Bored...I don't think that's the right word. I have plenty I could be doing, plenty I should be doing. Naw, this is more fun.

My iPod is broken. It was bound to happen, one night it did. It sucks because the only CD I have on my computer is the soundtrack to Across the Universe. Yeah, songs by The Beatles that aren't as good as the originals. I really liked the movie though. I rarely go see movies while they are still in theatres, but this one I happened to see twice.

I'm sick of school. I'm going to lose HOPE. I just want this semester to be over. I can't wait for Christmas. I love Christmas. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Can you imagine Christmas at Disney World? The most wonderful time at the happiest place on Earth. What a combo. I want to put up a Christmas Tree in the lobby of my dorm.
