I am constantly amazed and appalled at the slowness of the system. Things that should theoretically be dealt with and gone in minutes linger for days, even weeks. I returned an overdue book, which was the reason for the hold on my class registration for spring semester, to the college library tonight. Thanks to several factors; the misunderstandings between myself and a library worker who can hardly speak or understand English, the who-knows-how-many computers and checks that book has to go through, I am not going to be able to register for classes until at least tomorrow, maybe Friday. Hmph. All I want is one friggin PE class and they won't let me register because of one overdue book? What is this world coming to? ;P

...knowing when to give a shit and when to let it go... *sigh*

What the fuck am I doing here?

So what if the progression of inner peace and enlightenment sometimes need a little boost from unorthodox methods?! Isn't that what we're here to do? To stretch our beliefs and ideas. To stray, even if ever so slightly, from what the world expects of us to find out who we are as individuals. To find out how where we've been and what we've seen has affected us, what we've learned, what we want, and most of all, where we are headed. (And maybe have a little fun in the process? ;o)

As little as I actually care about money and finances, it's horrible being completely broke all of the time - scrounging for gas money just to go the few miles to visit my sweetheart, eating ramen and milk much more often than I'd like, basically just not being able to go run out and do something fun that costs a little money once in a while. And Christmas is coming. I am hoping to make most of the gifts I give this year, but even those supplies cost money. Bleh. I miss going to play pool at 1:00am when there's nothing else to do. I miss seeing movies on opening night rather than months later when they make it to the dollar theatre. I don't think it's greed. It's just longing for not having to worry all the time. Things are looking slightly up again. I have interviewed for one new job, and heard back from many more about my resume. I hope to have a new job within a week or two. I need to have a job within a week or two.

Finally, a redesign that I'm somewhat happy with for the time being! It's simple, colorful, and easy to maintain. I am going to be adding some of my writing including essays, music and movie reviews, and perhaps some of my crappy prose/poetry. Watch out!

The Rose Center for Earth and Space looks so incredible! New York has been bumped up a notch on my places-to-go-eventually list.

I worry too much.

hehe

so sheltered protected repressed so wasted - transformation accepting myself coming out of this rock hard shell .

Oooooh dear! (a must-see for anyone as sick of this election as I am...) ;P

What a nerve wracking night last night - keeping a close eye on the electoral votes until I couldn't stay awake any longer and going to sleep knowing that it all hinged on those last few states and could really go either way from there. I awoke to find it still down to the wire, but I think it's safe to say that we will have a second George Bush in position in two months. At this point, anything to get Clinton out of there.

"<[Duke]> yea.. I was so sick of gore and bush that I Ralphed. :)"

I did the same, but for different reasons. I followed my conscience. I refused to vote for the lesser of two evils and decided to vote for someone that I had faith in and respected. Whether he would win or not was beside the point.

So beautiful. This too.

Welp, I recently missed my rare opportunity to see this in Minneapolis, but someday. Yes, someday. It's like "Up With People," only better.

Gratuitous link to a great musician. ;o)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... okay, maybe just winter. Happy election day and first snow of the season!

Ego-centrism pisses me off.

So what is it with this Arbys commercial that three very different people at two different times in the last couple of days have stated strong dislike for? I have yet to hear it all the way through because someone goes off on a rant about it, but I can't imagine who they think they're marketing to if these very different people all hate it....

Please, please, please go vote tomorrow. If not, remember that you have given up the right to bitch about the state of the country. Found a handy dandy little poll finder script for those in Minnesota.

More from everyone's favorite writer/director, Kevin Smith. This column revolving around the making of the final installment of his "Jersey Trilogy." :(

"...but the city's not a part of it. You go there at your own risk." (Uh. What a great way to deal with the problem.)

Give me a break..."Maybe he deserves to be a casualty..." Whether Norman is referring to drugs or not, maybe she needs to look at how her kids were raised to interact with music, icons, and drugs, before placing the blame on free speech.
