Let me start off with a colon: 

 

Okay, now that I got that out of the way. Time to updatest thou upon mine extravagances as of late.

 

Important News: I drew a cartoon of the sperm that later became Nolan May. Due to the pg-ish nature of this column, I won’t show it (Actually, it’s due to the scanner being on a different computer in the other room).

 

Other important information: I got a Blackberry Curve 2 days ago. I just turned it off for the first time. It’s so much nicer than my other phone (which recently started shitting-out on me). Christine got one, also. It’s actually kind of nice. I feel like I understand what my sister and brother-in-law feel like. They both have an iPhone 3G and they both seem to love it. I like having somebody to share this with. It’s kind of a nice way to see how the same phones can become so different with usage and all that. It has a mobile Pandora application. I think it will be the most used (I can now listen to about any song I want, plug that into my car via the FM Broadcaster dealy and I have Pandora on the road J) If you are getting a phone. Don’t get Windows Mobile. It’s dreadful. I’ve seen now firsthand Android’s G1, The iPhone and its OS, and now a Blackberry. All three of these operating systems blow Windows out of the water in terms of usability and user-friendliness. Honestly, if the data plans were more affordable, I think EVERYONE would benefit from having one of these devices (and I do mean everyone).

 

I applied at Wal-Mart. Today they had me take a drug test. I realized it was the first time I had ever peed in a cup because I had to, and not just because I wanted to see how much I actually peed. I think when I get my computer engineering degree I will start by inventing some sort of toilet addition that keeps track of the amount “disposed”. It would then give a read-out of how much you went and put your place on the high-score board… which of course would then go to your Twitter account.

 

The sad part is, I actually think that is a good idea… and you do too.

 

My 4^th set of finals are starting in 2 days. I’m getting the hardest one out of the way first. Calculus 2. The subject of which I am currently studying.

 

I’d better get back to that.

“ I’m going to buy a videogame and beat it… and then play the videogame. "
         - Myself, when Christine asked what I was going to do while she was in North Carolina -

“ What are those guys looking at? "
                         - Christine, about two foreign looking guys who kept turning around to gawk –

“ They are looking at me. "
                        - Me, in response -

 “ Oh yeah, sometimes I forget you are really tall "

In the beginning…

 

I like to learn a new word/phrase and then quickly use it in a sentence when having a social interaction to sound smart. I admit this, of course, sans-guilt… mostly because I’m sure everybody else does the same thing. Today, it was the prefix “Sans” to mean “without” –Note: “prefix” might not be the right term there.

 

I worked out today. I’ve been doing that whole “work out thing” recently with Josh and it’s been nice. Today, I lifted for an hour and a half straight. I also got a good burn going on my abs- which is something I haven’t done in FOREVER. It was basically awesome.

 

I have an interview with Wal-Mart this Thursday. Hopefully I’ll be working there in addition to my job at the theater this summer. Giving my previous experience with the theater, this will be the first time I have repeated a job in my (relatively short) career. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’m excited to work with the people I’ve made friends with again. I liked everybody I worked with there. Much more than any other place I’ve ever worked. I guess you could say I’m excited.

 

Mostly excited to get the finals over with.

 

My phone has been acting dumb-tarded lately. When I text- it will insert random characters, send prematurely, or just plain old exit the texting screen. Sometimes my calls will misfire. When I try to call anybody, it will sometimes call the number “4” instead. Which is not Grumpy from Snow White’s phone number. It’s nobody’s phone number. I’ve done everything I know how to do so far (including reset it to factory-shipped settings)… so I’m going to have to talk to Alltel this weekend to see what’s up.

Alright, Let’s Do This: 

 

So it’s been a long time since I wrote a column. A very long time… I think I just needed a break to straighten my curvy areas and curve my straightened areas. Turn my arcs into bows and my circles into a geometric figure which is made up of all the points a certain distance away from a point in two-dimensions. Basically, things had become too drab, too dull, and too repetitive to write again. Each time I sat down, the same thoughts kept popping into my head, and if there’s one thing I hate doing- it’s redoing something I’ve already done. For example- today I drew a cartoon on the board before calculus started. I decided I liked it and I wanted it stored someplace more permanent. Instead of copying it, I had to mix it up. To change it.

 

I read 577 comics in 2 nights. If you are an aspiring nerd, you may enjoy them as well (or if you just enjoy funny comics, you can skip the nerdy sounding ones). They are part of the reason I wanted to keep writing columns (as for a time I considered never writing one again). I wanted a place to express the weird shit I think of just like whoever runs that website. Here are some of the doodles that website inspired in me. One: Two: Three:

 

Beyond that- I saw Jeff Dunham in Topeka the other day. It was hilarious. I’m not going to ruin any of the funniness by trying to recreate it. You should say “Taste of China” really quick in a Chinese accent a few times. If you don’t get why it’s funny, then I’m not going to explain it.

 

I’m supposed to be studying calculus 2. I have 9 days until the final. 10 days. 10 days until the final.

 

I’m not going to make this longer than it needs to be; and it needs to be just this long.
