Several events of my life lately have led me to conclude that people's selfishness is overwhelming. No wonder the world is so fucked up. I'm not claiming never to be selfish. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I do like to think I'm a decent human being. There isn't a whole lot of decency going around, I guess. The ultimate irony is that I've been...

My grandparents celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary yesterday. When someone asked my grandmother what the secret to her successful marriage was, she responded, "Oh, I never argue with him [my grandpa]. I just know I'm right."
My grandfather later suggested that naked wrestling in Mazola oil may have kept the love alive.

Naked wrestling is a good way to throw out a hip.
Long live Stellamarie.

I've never seen a Taco Bell here. although I do believe someone had the stupid idea of setting one up, needless to say, it went to hell faster than you can say "it's a glargabullgashmanick!"
I'm going away this weekend in order to attend my cousin's wedding. I'm not looking forward to the part of this "vacation" that involves spending five hours in a car with my parents. I mean, we might have to talk. Not cool.
Not to mention, weddings make me feel bad. I've just arrived at that age when friends and colleagues and whatnot are getting...

Sorry, I... wanted to lighten things up by acting Giles-y but I don't suppose that it helped much.

Yah, I know how you feel...but you have to realize, you're doing something amazingly meaningful with your life, and if others don't get it...well, so be it.
You may be at this point some day, but for now, be luck you have you and the unique goodness that comes with it.

I'll never understand how people can eat cheese and french fries. It will always baffle me how everyone loves that stuff. Ick!
And that picture is great! The unflaterring ones are always the ones that age the best. Like in five years that's going to be the best picture EVA!
Oh yeah, congrats with all the cool stuff going on with your band. I'm all excited for you guys.

When I'm at a low point, I'm very difficult to deal with. I know this. Those who are close to me want to help and don't know what to do. There's nothing they can do. I sometimes worry that eventually everyone will drop out of my life because no one can handle my depression. It always pushes people away. It really sucks. Sometimes I wish...

when i'm at a low point, i tend to hide...in books, in music, in work, in random things...i'll remove myself from all things social and dive into anything to take up all my time so i'm not thinking about why i'm at a low point, what i'm gonna do about getting out of it, or how the people i call friends are going to react to it/ treat me because of it...it's worked for me for as long as i can remember...i feel bad exposing my bad mood, or my sadness to anyone, especially people i like...so i turn hermit.
the diseases and disorders uncovered - and medicated - in the last 10 years have been astounding, not to mention a bit frightening...people who would have claimed to be healthy, can now identify through broadcasted symptoms the disorder that affects them and be treated accordingly...i don't belive that "healthy" equals "illness free", i think we just haven't come up with a name and somewhat specific definition for their illness, yet...that's probably bad to say.
fuck it. let's dance.

I just finished the last of my Ph.D. coursework. Do you know how fucking good that feels? Now all I have to do is take my oral exams next Spring and then write that pesky dissertation...

As a matter of fact... no I don't but I'll feel excited vicariously through you, if that's ok?

you said, "oral."
I spent today in the studio with the rest of Buffalo Bison recording our demo EP, The Leaving Kind. It's gonna be really good. When we were playing some of the tracks back, I suddenly realized: we sound great. And I laid down some vocals, on one track, that are gonna make you crap your pants. Guaranteed. Expect the EP some time in June.

Expect it as in you will release it and I can buy a copy of it?
Please do say yes.

I'm trying to listen to music, but every song I hear makes me want to cry. Seriously: every song and any song. What's a good "cheer up" song?

How about "School's Out". It's a happy theme and a catchy tune. Or you could try with Outkast's "Hey ya"
I don't want you to be sad, that's all, so if you feel like talking... I'm in.

I've done it. I've lost my mind. My apartment is a mess, my final papers are nowhere near finished, and I bought the cat a rhinestone and pink patent leather collar.

Losing one's mind can be liberating.
It's time for a change. I kind of want to dye my hair blonde, but I know that would take serious maintenance. And I'm not sure I'm in the state of mind in which I should be making these kinds of important decisions. Maybe I'll just get a haircut. But what kind of haircut could I get that will make me feel like I've done...

Maybe it's best if you wait a little bit. Just to make sure you won't regret it and go "why did I do this I want my long hair back!!"
On the other hand, some risks are well worth taking. I got ink, which can't be undone, but hair, it'll just grow back.

heres what i do now, cause im a jumper without a thinker. i sit on something for a few days. and by a few days i mean a week or so. if i still want it after that, i do it. none of my highs or lows last a full week. i figure at some point in that week, i should be rational enough to make a decision.
so wait, youre graduating this month? what school cause i want to find you on the graduation program.
