I dressed for my PE class today and did 3 stretches and left. So it was very fulfilling. Speaking of fulfilling...Well yeah.

I have another big Art History test today, very exciting. I am studied out, so that's why I ain't studying now. I wish I could go to the AWV show tonight, but I have to go listen to Paul Copernoperirgototpo speak.

SPRITE REMIXXX!

Yesterday was a busy day. IWU played Spalding University in soccer and the FC Reds were out in full force. IWU one in golden goal fashion, scoring the winning goal with 3 mins left in overtime. We had some really good cheers, even though there were more people who could have cheered. They were there for the girls game afterwards. Shea and I agree that they only cheer for the girls because they want to get some "tail". (They are all guys).

I also did about 7 test prints for my first printmaking project. I did printer's proofs on Japanese newsprint, pages from atlas', phonebook paper, etc. I did one on regular paper too, which I will turn in Monday.

This weekend I am going home to see Amanda and go to a Columbus Crew game. Andrew will be there and this guy is playing:
(Freddie Adu). I am going to make a poster which reads "Much ADU about nothing!" It's nerdy, so what.

Let's try to remember what friends are for instead of what friendships can do for me.

Last night I got my first ever IM from an anonymous blog reader. I think her name was Chokerose or something. I felt like a celebrity.

I had the opprotunity to go sit outside and read my American Government HW. It was really interesting to read in depth on how our Constitution was formed and organized. I would probably have been an Antifederalist. They were the ones who wanted a bill of rights. So thanks to them, we can't be pushed around by those who govern us. Well, for the most part.

It was so nice out, I considered taking a nap in the grass. I didn't though, I drank a Wild Cherry Pepsi instead. I hate regular Pepsi, but Cherry Coke is too acidic. That's right, I said it. It's too acidic.

Who has the better life? The bum, the brat, the esteemed? The one with the credit or the one who deserves the credit? Can someone really make a difference? Or does someone choose to be impacted.

If you get a car for free, or if you have a big house, or if you are the CEO of a big business, or if you pray in church, or if you burn a church...We all ultimately have an end to our lives. It doesn't matter, because it all ends.

The free rides, the business luncheons, and the lonely nights asleep on a park bench.

They all end.

Can I come in? Because I don't want to leave you. Is it the twinkle in your eye or the pause inbetween your breaths? Can I come in? This night is too long to go without seeing you pulse.

Eventually.

No matter what happens in my life, one lyric always stands the test of time with me.

"Can we return, to the golden age?"

I wonder if I will go on through life and always think this, or maybe I can change and realize right here and right now is where I should be.

RIP Johnny Ramone.

Everyone has their problems, and it's up to them how they react. Most people have guidelines, or social folkways and moraes to instruct them on how to act. People have patterns to how they react to heartache, depression, sorrow, etc.

People also have these same patterns for joy and happiness. Each person has a set way of reaction they have learned through the years. It is possible to predict these patterns accordingly. This can cause people to be manupulative.

Based on the fact that these set patterns to joy and sadness can be predicted from person to person, one can choose whether or not to be manipulative. So does this mean people actually choose whether or not they are manipulated? Just by the way they might react to joy/sadness? Possibly yes. Possibly no.

All and all, it's never anyone's fault. After all, we are only human.

So almost a week.

I was thinking today as I walked outside how it already smelled like "fall". Or "Autumn" for you purists. Fall is my favorite season. It used to be winter, but has since changed to fall. Fall is very adaptive weather. Summer and Winter are too extreme, and Spring is too rainy.

Fall makes me romatic. The visuals of the leaves, the smells, the warm clothes.

I went outside today to read underneath my favorite tree. I fear these relaxing visits will be few and far between being that the semester is underway.

Day 2 is over.

I am at school now and done with my first day of classes.

I am going to barf with anticipation:

"If you are listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you are a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons." - Alice Cooper

I cannot

and I stress cannot believe I am up this early. I just could not sleep. I should be getting to some laundry now.

Yesterday I did a little school shopping. Some tea and some jeans and a shirt were bought. Too much tea was bought. So if you like tea, feel free to stop by my house for a cup. You supply the mug, I will supply the bag and water.
