reading in my backyard

So I'm sitting in my backyard.
The grass is wet on my bare feet, and the book in my hand is begging me to read it.
I start reading and suddenly I lose interest in the ink on the pages and my eyes drift up to the clouds sitting above my imagination.
The expanse of sky is almost unbearable without any shoes on; it's hard to ground yourself against the weight of the sky.
The farther into the clouds I looked, the smaller I felt, and the more contempt I had for the wandering wisps of reddening white.
To be a person in a town full of people that doesn't really matter in an area full of towns that don't really matter in a state full of cities in a country full of states on a planet full of countries that don't REALLY matter can make you feel pretty light.
So the trick is to balance the weight of the sky with the lightness of your insignificance. If you can get that, you're ok.

AVC Fall 2008

The beginning of a semester is always filled with enthusiasm, but its how long that enthusiasm lasts that really matters.
It's impossible to tell how long it will last for this semester because it's far too early, but I do have a good feeling it will last for longer than usual.
English 230: One of my favorite teachers, brilliant girl sitting next to me, gorgeous girl sitting behind me.
Art 101: Easy. Period.
French 102: not too interesting and not too easy, but at least I can use the same book as 101.
English 245: Judgment pending.

Amoeba

What's the cure for Sunday afternoon boredom in Lancaster?
A trip down to Amoeba Music in Hollywood.
Good call C-$.

So I could spend days and days in that store and still have more to look for.
What an amazing place, and the standard women there seems to be bumped up a notch or two. There might have been a sign I miss, "You must be at least this physically attractive to enter."
Maybe not.
Anyways.
Great place.

Also getting lost on the freeway is awesome, not really, but it's still better than being bored at home.

Definitely BBQ next time. Overall a great plan and an almost flawless execution.
Success.

Can't wait for school to start tomorrow.

New Semester, New Start

I'm a fan of fresh starts, and fresh opportunities to recreate and reshape things in my life that I either didn't like or have been lagging. The start of a brand new semester presents such an opportunity.
So just for the hell of it, I made a new blog and stuck a stake in the heart of my last one. So hope you enjoyed it, but I wouldn't be offended if you didn't even read it. I didn't. So yeah.
New semester.
Cheers.
