blah. The hardest fucking thing in the world is making an 88×31 button, like the ones found here. I’ll offer sexual favours to anyone who makes me a pretty button… errr… strike that. Lemme try it once or twice myself before i start selling my body in exchange for services rendered.

I’ve composed so many blogs in my head this week that have been drowned under hours of work, meetings, and practice. Blah. Illegal Op was shut down last nite by Nerv, its main moderator. I’m pretty despondent about the event, but happily i’m hosting four former I-O staff members here at Uprush.org. I’ll state again that anyone with a current site that might appeal to me is welcome to apply for hosting. Especially if your site is snazzy but doesn’t take up much space.

blargh. life crept up and smacked me today, since we’re headed into midterm week. in slightly better news, i had my massive madonna review published in the triangle this week. in slightly worse news, last night i played an open mic where i thoroughly slaughtered the main staples of my cache of favourite songs. in order: “inadequacy song” (aborted), “under my skin,” “deadweight,” lucky star,” “never say goodbye,” a short break, “gravel,” “punk,” & “a long time since.” all can be found in the trio archive. “never say goodbye” and “punk” went over especially well.

My life is a set of neverendingly opened parentheses. For example, i’m currently reading articles on Shafted rather than blogging. However, blogging would only be an excuse not to work on my website. However, one might note that, in general, working on my website is a way for me to avoid actually creating new content for my website. And, typically creating new content for my website is a way for me to avoid doing something else that i should do, like working on new songs. But, really, new songs are just an excuse for avoiding actual social interaction, which i shun whenever possible. Especially dating; i’ll have none of that. Of course, even i were writing songs, i ought to be practicing instead. However, i only ever practice what i want to practice on guitar, not anything that will actually help me to better my playing. Anyhow, even if i was bettering my playing, my guitar is simply an excuse not to do schoolwork. So, really i should be doing schoolwork. However, none of the classes i have right now really pertain to my major, so really i should be in 18 credits worth of different classes. Even if i was in other classes, i’d still be a Journalism major, which is really a bit of a cop-out, considering my skills in other more quantative subjects. Or, at least i should be in a more rigourous curriculum of Journalism, but instead i’m at Drexel. I’m at Drexel because i dragged my feet too much when i was supposed to be looking at various Liberal Arts schools. I was only looking at those schools because i hadn’t decided on a major, and also because i had stopped truly applying myself in school years earlier. And, why had i stopped applying myself? Mostly because i was too busy on the internet and playing guitar.
There, does that make you feel any better about yourself?

What a gray day it is. On days like these i like to put on a sweatshirt, eat something chocolate, put on an album with an equally gray cover, and curl up with a book. Of course, having six more consecutive hours of class could force me to slightly alter that plan. >sigh
