Tokyo Megaplex

I don't know man. It's easy to sit here and sleep through class. And watch Tango and Cash and think about where I'm going. My brother's going to have a kid. Could be a dude, could be a chick. I want babies. 2 is too few. 4 is too many. 3? Whaterver. I want a son. More than anything. I used to say I wanted to be married more than anything. But I want a little boy to take care of and live through vicariously. No time soon. Not soon enough.

Get mad. That's the advice I have now. Whoa whoa whoa, pizza. Food distractions. I need to run more.

It's bed time. Maybe I'll make it tomorrow.

Chicago Bears: 3-0
Tonight's game against the Packers was very exciting. The Bears might not have been the greatest, but at least they didn't give up 152 yards worth of penalties. Heh, Packers suck. Not really, they're pretty good. I hate em. And the Yankees, and the Red Wings, and the Lakers. They're all pretty good. Sports: it gives me something to get excited about. 

No time for that for the next few days. I've reached the point in the semester where I realize that the amount of work I've been doing (or not been doing) is not enough, and as usual I've created a structured schedule for myself. These things never hold together, but maybe this one will hold together. Time seems so much more available when it is listed on paper. I just need to stop wasting it.

Wake Up: 7:30 AM
Go To Sleep: 11:30 PM

Hours of sleep: 8
Hours on campus (including transit): 7-9
Hours Free: 7-9

It really shouldn't be as difficult as it will be. I should not be awake right now. Tomorrow I won't be.

Goodnight everybody.

Georgia Dawwwwggggs lost. Borderlands had a terrible ending.

I'm out of it. It's getting later and later and I slept on a lawn for a little bit. My face is burne-ded. There's nothing to say. Terrified of the future. Oh yeah? You and everyone else.

I notice problems in others. And it drives me crazy. What can you do? Drink a 4lokokokoko. Thanks Michael. Catch a blue voltorb. I wish I catch a blue voltorb.

Work work work. The worst thing about everything is that once it happens it's happened forever. How can you know if you ever did anything right? Or really wrong? Give me a score. Alex "3/10" Johnson. I hate bloggers.

Wake up Jimmy, It's shootin people time.

My roommates sleep a lot. I sleep a lot. We all scream for ice cream. I don't really have much to do today. I played a lot of poker, played some Borderlands, and ate some cheez-it. I recently signed up for the Blockbuster online delivery rental service and you can rent video games which is cool. I don't ever finish games that I buy anymore, but this encourages me to hurry up and beat them so I can get a new one. It's actually pretty neat. I'll probably cancel once they make me pay. Bankrupt.

And fly toward the sun

College Living 4.0

One week done. Several more to go. I'm not sure how successful I'll be at fighting my way through this one.

I don't know if you've ever seen that episode of Hey Arnold with the Pigeon Man, but you should. What the heck I'll put it right here.

"Lonely for what? For people? No."

If only. In 6th grade my teacher asked my class what were the things that were necessary to succeed in school. Most of the students in my class responded with "friends." I disputed this fervently, saying that you are more likely to succeed without anyone holding you back. This would be true if you could manage to live your life without these "others."

"This is awful. Who did this?"
"People, Arnold."

I've taken a few psychology classes in hopes of understanding the minds of others. I can understand how their circumstances affect their mindset and cause them to perform the actions that they do, whether good or bad. This is textbook, it's just how it is. What doesn't make sense is how they can be so blind to how their actions affect other people. Others that have millions of thoughts, emotions, and beliefs of their own. As it turns out, everyone else is real too. This isn't just your story. It's an odd thing to wrap your head around (at least my head, I can't really speak for anyone else), but almost every movement you make affects others in some way or another. Think about that the next time. You do anything.

I know I'm not saying anything new. There's nothing substantial or scintillating here. It's just what I'm thinking at 4:43 AM on a Friday night/Saturday morning. Both my roommates are asleep. Or in their rooms with their lights off. Doesn't really make a difference to me, but it probably does to them. 

Remember Arnold, always wash your berries before you eat them.

Intermission

I get up in the evening. And I ain't got nothing to say. I come home in the morning. I go to bed feeling the same way. I ain't nothing but tired. Man I'm just tired and bored with myself.

I don't really like when people quote songs. I wasn't going to but I started typing when Bruce started playing, and he kept saying things that were true. He knows what it's all about. And there isn't enough of that.

I've started drinking sweet tea since coming home. My brother and dad have been spending a lot of time together, which is awesome. And I drink tea. And I think about things.
