first day of class...

Taking two classes this semester...

One called: Theories on Democracy. --which lacks a description but seem self explanatory...

And one on the philosopher: Epicurus

I still have to put up my notes... and three youtubes from last semester. And will work to put up notes from this semester as well.

Now i'm off to class

is this thing on??

[tap tap tap... man hits mic gets slight feedback]
"is this thing on"
[echo of an empty room... from the back of the bar a voice yells out]
"Bar closed three hours ago man! Your too late!"
[man at mic, sighs a long sigh... might have been his only shot... he turns and walks off stage]

so I've been wanting to post on a ton of stuff and I just haven't had time--got home from GA State at 12:25 last night. Up by 1:45. I could tell you where from the core of me I'm pulling this out... but you would have had too have been there. One of those subjective: you had to have seen what I saw, everything--the smells, the sounds, the people lost in this haze of hollowness.

Come to a interesting concession on the Fair Tax I want to talk about. McCain talking points. INteresting experience at board of elections on Tuesday night.

WIll catch up soon I promise! Till now go read the NYT's and email a synopsis of a story I haven't had time to read--that would be lovely.

6 hours left and counting

Taking a quick break from my two day paper writing marathon.

Its due by 11:59 tonight and its 6:42 now. I'm through the first two sections and have 3 sections left. I'm taking a moment of pause to catch my breath, rest my eyes, and call my lovely fiance to say hello.

Thats all...

I'll post both of these papers tomorrow. I'm not really happy with either of them. It's that old addage about the amount of time and effort you put into something will show in the results you produce. You can say that one again! Sigh... you do what you can, you do what you must, and you always try your hardest. Above and beyond that its merely useless stress worries and lack of perspective of your place and capabilities as a human.

p.s. anyone know why I can't link to my own page in my signature? I guess they don't want me inflating my google rank? Sigh...

Had a nice lecture on Sartre in the afternoon. Came home for quick dinner and trip to buy food for our camping trip this weekend. Then headed to henry county NAACP meeting, followed that by hitting Henry County Young Democrats meeting. Then to buy last minute camping supplies. COme home to pack for the trip--pack weigh in at 64 lbs. Bed by 11:30... alarm off and 1:30 and drag myself up by 1:46am. Now I'm off to go throw 60 lbs boxes on trucks.

Can't help but think of what henry rollins sang: "get some, get some, get some, get some--go again"

I love this life... and I'm serious as a heartbeat... its an unbelievable privilege--and amazingly beautiful and fun to boot!
