throw away the radio. suitcase keeps you awake. hide the telephone, the telephone, telephone in case you realise that sometimes you're just not okay. you level off, level off, level off, but it's not alright now. you need to understand there's nothing stange about this. you need to know your friends. you need to know that i'll be waving my hand, watching you drown, watching you screem, quiet or loud. maybe you sould sleep. and maybe you just need a friend. as clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing. you'll be safe in here. throw away this very old shoelace, that tripped you again. try and shrug it off, shrug it off, it's only skin. now you need to understand there's nothing fake about this. you need to let me in, i'm watching you.

'champu' is spanish for 'shampoo' which is 'senpatsu' in japanese, I'm not sure why I know this exactly but- wait, now I remeber, joel told me... thanks joel :P

Well, I got up early this morning to do the physics homework that is always due on Tuesdays, and as I have just past the deadline here at 8am and I decided to stop working, something dawned on me. And that is, I could really give two shits about most of this homework. I took a moment to look at my track record of online homework assignments in this class, and my average falls around 80% right now, mostly due to things being submitted late and/or missing parts of assignments and what not. and I saw this and I was saying to myself, geez, I had better buck up on this if I know what's good for me... but then something else dawned on me, I have almost 100% averages in all tests, quizzes, and labs sections, who really cares what the hell my homework grade is, I mean really. As long as I make some form of attempt at using the homework to familiarize myself with the material, then I think it has served it's purpuse. This is almost as bad as my econ situation

Speaking of econ, I finished my (now looking back on it) rather retarded econ paper. I don't mean to say that it wasn't well written, nor was the material covered incorrect or anything like that. But that doesn't mean my whole topic and conclusion wasn't blatently obvious to anyone with an IQ of more then 7. Hopefully my econ professor will manage. The first period leading up into the first test, Hans and I dragged each other to class every Monday and Wednesday morning (I did most of the dragging) to sit through his convoluted lectures when we could have been spending our time more productively throwing burt-out lightbulbs down the elevator shaft, lighting twinkees on fire, or racing slot cars against a parrot. And on the test the only questions we got right were those that sense of the common variety led us to the answer (we both got 'B's). So we took up an entirely new strategy for the second test, and that was to completely and utterly blow off the class all together and read the chapters the test was on the afternoon before the test. And low and behold, we both got 'A's this time. Hans even aced the test. Read that last sentence again to make sure you fully understand it's meaning.

At some point or another I got a cold yet again. I must have some form of like viral resort in my sinuses or something. "Kids Eat Free" or something along those lines, but whatever it is, I'm really tired of going to sleep happy and waking up miserable. I think I just need to set up a couple more alters to the DayQuil gods and see if that gets me anywhere, one can only hope right?

SSX snowboarding still rules

I got kinda a late night call last night regarding a computer problem that my sister's boyfriend was having with his video card. It turned out the card wasn't quite seated in it's slot all the way, and it needed new drivers. okay so that story looked like a much better idea when I had it on my little list of things to cover for today but maybe now that I look at it it wasn't all that interesting. Please ignore this paragraph

Have you ever had someone ask you how you were doing, or how things were going, and you feel like your days/weeks can best be summed up with an ellipsis? Yeah...
