I have a craving for a tobacco cigarette for the first time in months. I have had a lot of stress lately, so thanks for piling on, past addiction. I do not wish to buy what you have to sell.

I don't mind a disagreement about the meaning of literature, and I believe that people can have correct and opposite views. I do dislike it when I disagree with the entire class. I think that the view of those who expressed it lacked nuance, sophistication, and maturity.

Nothing bad happens to the characters in The Storm, by Kate Chopin.

I think I'd like to study how to make effective regulations. I kind of dread taking political science classes, though. I can only hope the balance tilts away from politics and toward science.

I survived the first day of classes. It looks like I will have a group project in every class. Hmm.

Finished Summer with a 4.0, and I kind of dread actually attending classes at the campus next week. If I sit near the front of the room, though, I can more easily ignore the other students.

Still coming correct with my Summer shit. I can wave goodbye to American History and Government after this semester, maybe with a 4.0, even, for the classes I've taken this time.

History and Government fill me with rage and despair. I'm still making "A"s, though.

The WSJ just exhumed Bill Bennett to rehash the same old lies in an opinion piece. FTW.

I can just argue with the voices in my head, if I think they're wrong. Why the hell would I think they know more than I do?

Back to college. Third time's the charm!

Shallow and happy?
Sad and sincere?
Offensively yappin' or drowning in tears?

Still fallow, composty,
Corrupted yet dear
I choke on my smoke and submerge in my beer.

Tommorow, I may see
through madness of fear
and find something happening in reach, right here.

I heard Ricky Gervais say: "Just because you're offended, it doesn't mean you're right." Beautiful.
