что делать?

I don't have anything exciting to say, but I feel like writing all the same.
And as few read this blog, that makes this a perfectly fine forum for such an endeavor.

Perhaps I should do something more productive than this. I do graduate after this semester. Perhaps homework is in order. I'm just feeling mopey.

There are people that I miss, that I wish I didn't. People I want to see, but I know I can't/won't. Things I want to do, that I'm not doing. And on top of this, I'm signing myself up for a semester which is just too many credits, in all likelihood at least.

All of the hard classes, any of which could be beneficial for my sanity to drop. I don't want to drop them. I like them all. And all of the boring stuff, I can't afford to drop if I want to graduate. What to do - что делать?

Might go see some Toasters this weekend. THat could be neat. Just need to pull myself out of this mini funk I've fallen into.
          This is self indulgent writing here.

• I tend to be poetic and fill notebooks with my scrawl 
• But lately, lately it feels good not to do that. It feels good just to be for a while... not to break everything down, reanalyze, reinvision, reinvent
• What will they say? Will it be past tense? Or past subjunctive? The difference in the way they speak, may not speak loud, but it speaks volumes.

Eh. TIme to try to go work my way out of this.

32 Rules of Thanksgiving Football

Amusing article with the aforementioned title here.
It is pretty funny and makes me wish that my family still did this sort of thing. It happened when I was a kid, but not really anymore. It would be fun.
My favorite: 14. But if you are old enough to have grandchildren, and you sack the quarterback, and do an elaborate sack dance, you will be worshiped forever.


This is no real update. I just liked this article. And on the off chance that someone bumps into this. I felt compelled to share. Thanksgiving is going to be overwhelming. Wow.

I am having 3 thanksgivings in one day.
I. Am. Going to die.

Soundtrack of the moment: Brian Eno - 'There is Nobody'

I could be doing Spanish HW....but

Instead I'm posting on a blog that I'm fairly sure I've alienated a good portion of the readership away from. No pity party here though! Fear not!

Found this picture recently:
An attempt at ejecting demons with a pen. Not exactly building something, more like exorcising something. I'm sure I offended someone in the process...I was angry and if they found it, they weren't meant to. Fairly certain I'm sorry for that.

In any event, as with so many things...the scrap of paper is long gone, but the documentation of it remains. No reason why.

It's been ages/A kind donation

It's been ages since I've last been on here and threw a post up. But I was inspired to share this article today...and I've kind of abandoned the old facebook account..and hopefully I'll be back to writing on here more often.

I am always pleased to see when millionaire athletes and people of the same sort. Those who have had a good lot in life. (Obviously with talent, but still paid far more than solid athleticism generally affords someone)

Edwards Keeps Pledge to pay for students college tuition

In short here. NY Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards made a promise to 100 kids in Cleveland years ago to help them pay for college. Many believed after he left Cleveland for NY many believed (apparently) that he wouldn't keep his word. But he is now donating a bit above 1 million dollars for the tuition of the 100 students in the "Advance 100" program, a program that he established.

Color me impressed. Anyway. Thats all for the moment.
