2nd and 5th

I just had the longest nap ever and I feel like nothing but pure energy; the thing about the campus being dead till monday is that I have nothing to do but either play xbox,walk around, hang out in my room or go to freshman parties (which suck btw) I chose to do all three plus hang out in the dorms with the few friends I have that already here. The only thing I miss about the dorms is being able to walk up a flight of stairs to my room instead of across campus and through the woods (to grandmothers house we go!) So being back in Mass has been pretty good I'm ready to get started though and know I know one class in particular is going to be super tough since I won't be able to write papers in NORMAL english but instead the needlessly complicated scientist paper. I've always wondered why an institution that claims to be so creative so ground breaking only lets folks show that the know /learned something be doing a research paper.


What happens if I understand the concepts and suck at research papers?


In the world I happen to live in there's about a billion different ways to reach your end game. I wonder if I would be a good teacher, maybe maybe not since I would not stress the minute details pointless things that either do not work in the REAL WORLD or pointless to know in the beginning. One would think that college would arm us/you/me only with tools that would help us be better at whatever we choose to do in our lives, sadly I don't think that's the case.


*climbs off soapbox*

I have to say that I really did miss walking around campus back home, it's such an easy thing to take for granted while your here but when I was back in the city and underground in the subway I missed the hell out of the open skylines and fresh air. It's funny that I said something like that though because in a few weeks i'm going to miss the NY Minute way of things and get annoyed by the MASS Minute.

In other news I kind of have an idea what's going on with something I was a little worried about but it's all cleared up now so I'm happy( I'll be waiting. take as long as you want, although your dundie is in jeopardy,joking)

Alrighty I'm done for the night

1st an 15

Damn has it really been forever since I've last shared the myself with the world? If it isn't it sure feels that way
A lot can change when were not looking and well you've been sleep for a long time so let me fill you in.
The biggest change to happen while you were asleep was that I fell in love with a wonderful woman named Michelle. I honestly do not believe I have ever felt so deeply about another person (unless that feeling was HATE) Michelle is just Michelle and it's great, I know that may seem like a copout but she is just so many things that to describe her anyway else would be an insult. We both consider ourselves lucky to have found one another for the simple fact of how we did it.

One day last winter I was bored and surfing craigslist for miscellaneous swag and I ended up in the personals. As any craigslister of merit knows personals are generally ruled by le porn bots. So I skipped those and I ended up looking through the just friends forum ( that's not what it's called but I forget the name) Since your's truly is a native New Yorker I didn't (still don't ) no much about the geography of Massachusetts so I ignored the location of the post I decided to look at and decided to email anyway. The post was friendly and funny so it was an automatic "HEY you should send an email" an the rest is history. We would spend alot of time just joking around about various things/people/plants/countries/celebrities and before we knew it it would be three in the morning.


I could easily spend the next hour talking about Michelle and I know she would definetly like me talking about how awesome she is and how beautiful I think she is but why would I spend an hour telling you guys that when I can tell her that directly but just in you happen to be reading this I LOVE YOU BABE and I can't wait to see you.

So that was the biggest thing you missed while you were sleep, but not the only thing.

My Summer was full of all kinds of challenges both professional and private, I think I have grown a lot both as a man and as a professional in the sense that I am starting to see the bigger picture. When I was younger it was easier to say HEY FUCK YOU, I DON'T NEED ANYBODY BUT MYSELF. But when I was going different places and experiencing different things it dawned on me that NO MAN can get through life entirely on his own.
I think the seed of being part of a community really hit me when I was down in the dakota's and was immersed in the culture of the Lakota people. If I want to be happy both professionally and privately I cannot just ignore everybody else's problems because then their problems become my problems and well everybody needs somebody sometime.

I spent most of my summer in midtown manhattan honestly their was only one thing(person) that could have pulled me out of midtown before I was done that person also happens to have the key to my heart and i think it very unwise to not answer a summons when the person with the key to your heart is the one doing the summoning. Hmm I'm getting hungry I'll finish this later
