Cody: Long over-due Update

Unfortunately, this blogs gets a lot less attention from me than it deserves and I'm hoping I'll be able to change that soon.
Updates on my life:
1.Quit McDonalds in favor of detailing cars (Fuck YEAH!)
2.Schools almost done (this semester = epic phailure)
3.My car dropped about 2.5 inches in height :)
4.I've decided to change my major from English to Computers.
5.I got cock-blocked by God.

I want to extrapolate on that last one there ^^
There's this absolutely gorgeous girl who works at my bank and every time I go in there and see her, massive flirting and joking around ensues. I'd been working up the courage to ask her out for a few weeks (yes, she's just that hot) and finally on Thursday last week I did. Here's how the conversation pretty much went:
Me: Last time you helped me, my cash came out in all one-dollar bills.
Her: (Flirty) Oh, Did I do that? (twirling hair in finger)
Me: Yeah, not cool.
Her: Were you mad at me?
Me: I'm not gonna lie, a little bit haha
Her: (FLIRTY) Will you forgive me?
Me: I'll forgive you if you let me buy you a cup of coffee...
Her: I can't
Me: Why not?
Her: I'll get in trouble with my school...
Me: Where do you go, Nazi Germany? lol
Her: I'm not allowed to be off-campus with a guy, I go to West Coast Baptist College.
Me: Oh damn. See ya later then.

The moment those words rolled off her tongue, my heart just dropped. West Coast Baptist College is a Bible College attached to one of the biggest and richest Baptist Churches in California. It's about a sneeze and a fart away from a cult.
Women should wear ankle-length dresses and walk behind their men, not next to them - that sort of thing. Psychos. So in essence, God himself extended his mighty invisible hand to make my actions and temporary courage completely and utterly futile. Stupid God, always messing things up.

The Early November

Great band. Enjoy.

A much needed update

As this blog has been all but ignored for quite a long time, I'll do my best to catch up. School is the same crap day in and day out with the exception of my philosophy class and my short fiction class. When you leave a 3-hour class feeling totally invigorated, you know it was a good class. As for work, McDonald's continues to be the cesspool of Capitalist undertones that plagues my week. This may seem melodramatic but if you ever get a job there, you'll totally understand where I'm coming from.
As for the romantic life, I'm finding that there's not as much to it as I once thought. There are few things a determined individual can actively accomplish in this area of one's life. It's seemingly much more effective to let whatever sort of fate exists to just take it's course.
Where friend's are concerned, I'm apparently good at driving them away, save a few. Either this is the case, or I need to come up with a more effective method of determining the character of a person as soon as possible.
Where reading is concerned, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" is a wonderful read. I'm almost done with it and I'm surprised I'm getting as much out of it as I am.
I've been wallowing in a little too much philosophical struggle recently and I think it would be better for my mental and physical health for me relax a little more. I think way too much about things that I don't think I can change. I realize this sounds very ethereal and you may not really care. But what if I CAN change these things? Then it becomes relevant.
I'll try to shoot another post up here soon, and overall in a more regular manner.
Cheers.

C'eSt La Vie

I met a girl. She seemed to like me a lot so I stuck around, even if my feelings weren't as strong as they should've been. I may have lead her on, I may have not. There could be a plethora of factors that haven't even been weighed in. Oh well, I settled it. This blog deserves some love and shall get some more of it soon. Cheers.

Wanton eyes

The freezing wind
through which I stare
breaks down trees
to make them bare;
and blows through me
much like your eyes,
the playful gods
to my wanton flies.
How can I escape,
how is prey set free?
It proves trying
when merely eyes can capture me.

-Note: "Wanton Flies" is a shakespeare reference, not a chinese food reference lol

Root canals

There's this girl in my British Literature and Philosophy class. She constantly feels the need to use large words but she uses them incorrectly. She speaks over other students when they are called on. She "answers" questions with totally irrelevant information 99% of the time she is called on; keep in mind she raises her hand to respond every time there is an opportunity to do so. She even responds to questions regarding text she hasn't read from the book she has yet to purchase. I've been trying to describe how annoying this person is to several friends but I can never quite describe it sufficiently until today. As I climbed out of the chair after getting a root canal this afternoon, it hit me. Annoying girl = Root Canal. Both are equally as annoying and unpleasant. Now thats saying something.

School tomorrow.

I don't have much to say other than I am excited and slightly nervous for school to start. I can't explain the nervous feeling, but it feels like something good and/or significant is going to happen. I don't really know how to describe it, but I'm just going to wait and see how things pan out, wish me luck! Cheers.
