The Book Club, Newsletter, & I Wanna Be A Poem
Yet again, another long day. Complete. Finished. As soon as this blog is over and done. I finally got through with my reading, for tonight, with The Picture of Dorian Gray and White Teeth for my Gothic and Contemporary British Literature classes, respectively. Both have been enjoyable reads so far. But, I don’t want to [...]
I Used To Be Funny
Well…I’m up much later than I need to be. I could’ve gotten in bed at 11:00. But, Nooo; I had to stay up and diddle-daddle around. Now, I’m stuck with a good 40 pages to read from Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes for my Advanced Composition class. One thing I’ve been thinking about lately is my writing [...]

Serenity
I definitely have a reason to write tonight. I just got through watching one of the most amazing movies I’ve ever seen in the theater: SERENITY. Joss Whedon pulls off a masterpiece in this follow-up to his short-lived series Firefly. From every syllable uttered to every camera angle, the crew behind this movie put their [...]
A Little Post For September
It’s been a long few weeks. And let me emphasize LONG. Two weeks ago I had 2 papers and a presentation. (Although the presentation wasn’t graded) The next week I had 2 more papers due. And now, just Wednesday, I had a wisdom tooth cut out (stitches are to be taken out next Wednesday) and [...]

An August Post
Yes, I’ve been a bit lazy about posting lately, but with some justification. School has left me tired and delirious most of the time. I haven’t had much time for anything else. A lot has been going on. But, mostly my days consist of: school, work, study (with an added episode of television on DVD [...]
Days 9 & 10 – Lazy & Tired
I had a slight problem with the internet last night. It wasn’t working! So, I couldn’t write on my progress, and I had a lot to say. Unfortunately, I just about forgot it all. Day 9 Basically, it was a lazy day. I only gave, roughly, 60% – 70%. I finished up my 6 intervals [...]
Day 8 – The Bad Day Rule
Day eight. Such a magical day. Well, it should be. But, it was one of the toughest days yet. After putting in 5 grueling hours of yardwork and about a gallon-and-a-half of water, I headed home. I ate a peach and 2 pieces of string cheese. Then I headed off to Wal-Mart to buy myself [...]
Einstein, Yardwork, & ALLTEL
I came upon a nice little set of quotes on a website that I came across today. “If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.” “A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, [...]
