When I was to tired to go to classes (and sometimes even when I wasn't) I used to just sleep in and say "fuck it, it's not like I'm missing something as important as sleep". Probably not such a great idea in hindsight.

At least when you complain about being worn out, you stretch your senses and make a lot of people enjoy what you have to say!!!

You can never just complain about being worn out like a normal person can you? You always have to make it fancy don't you?

When I was in college we had neighbors who would have screaming fights in Russian. Well, at least I think it was Russian.

But, nothing will beat the big fight I witnessed in front of my ex's apartment where at 5:00 AM two extremely drunk couples got to arguing. One of the guys decided to break up with his obnoxious wailing gf and she called the police and chased after him when he ran away all the while her friend popped a squat and peed on a tree. I listened to her crying, and the police officer for two hours.

2009-02-06T17:35:00.000-08:00

Whoa, you had me cracking up and got me thinking just a bit. Me and you are a lot alike in the aspect of "thinking". We are always told not to question just to have "faith". That could be in the almighty Church or from our local, state and all the way up big guys that run the show. I REFUSE to say "ok". "Whatever". I think a lot of people our age are beginning to have a sense of that. Which is freakin outstanding. I hate to say it but a lot of the old way of doing things is going out the door as they die. Sad but true but good. :)

We will always have the buddy system where people get ahead because they know someone and churches will always have billions of blind followers; we always have and always will. BUT, people like me and my view on the life, I'm going to shake up shit and NOT be quiet when a subject comes up that makes my family and friends uneasy. The world is FUCKED up and people take advantage and people die. If I can change ONE mind to action and to keep their surroundings in check, then by God I did something I can be proud of.

To many people live in a blind world and inside their own bubble. Hang around me for to long and I'm going to pop it. It will be good for ya. :)

BTW nice blog. Love your writing style.
Cheers, Brad

Found you from 20SB. I love what you wrote. I don't agree with all of it, but a lot is spot on. I'm an Australian transplant living in L.A and the people here are the hardest thing to deal with. I hope you're enjoying being out of this city.

Awesome. I wonder what the reason for the difference is. Thanks for the link, but for now I think that it'll have to go on a wish list. I have too much other stuff I have to be spending my money on. =/ I was hoping to find it in the library but no luck, which is not really all that surprising, since I can't even find the English version there.

2009-01-27T11:25:00.000-08:00

It's interesting that the translation you were given includes the word "Spake." In addition to that not being a word (that I know of) the proper translation is "spoke." I want to read that book in German, though... if only I could FIND it somewhere.

2009-01-26T23:20:00.000-08:00

interesting point about virtue; the Thomas Paine quote in Obama's speech has had me thinking about it and how philosophers/thinkers define it. Machiavelli is full of virtu and for the I Ching it is an essential element to the success/survival/completion of anything, but now I am wondering differently it is viewed for different cultures.

2009-01-26T21:15:00.000-08:00

I don't think you're cynical; I think in some ways, you're a realist. Shit is going to happen. That's just the way life is. And you're going to be better prepared if you expect it to happen. Hope for the best, expect the worst?

I think you've found very good niche for yourself with communication and political science.

I came across your blog via flickr. I don't know anything about you, but I hope you are pursuing a career as a writer of some sort. I think you are hilarious and brilliant(and a little crazy, but in a mostly good way).

Your writing, at least the style, carries a slight resemblance to Chuck Palahniuk, who happens to be one of my favorite authors.

Scientists use frogs as a window into the health of the environment because they breathe through their skin and are affected by the world in dramatic fashion. If you are the frog that has absorbed all of humanities emotional pollution, then I fear for the health of our species.

This makes me ache to write for myself.

What kind of reaction did he think he was going to get anyway? Was he looking for a date? From your description, a laugh would have been more suitable that a disgusted look.
