When I was about three, my paternal grandfather died. I still have some memories of him, random pictures, mostly. I remember one in particular of him smiling while I was sitting in his lap. I've tied these stored snapshots with memories of being happy to be around him.
Sometimes I'll hear older family members tell stories about him. Growing up, these stories would confuse me...

After a few days visiting family, I'm now back in Augusta. It's bittersweet, but I have no other options, so I might as well make the best of it.
Last week I learned how to
1- make a lot of money as an intermediate in the exciting field of Caribbean drug smuggling.
2- write my name in Hebrew.
You can pick up the damnedest things...

It's been an interesting seven weeks, but it's time for me to go now. Don't worry. I'm not going far, and I'll be back to visit soon.

i'd like to see you again, too. don't worry about hijacking me. considering i did most of the talking when we met, feel free to tell me as many stories as you want.
The good news is that the canary is very much alive. The bad news is that I'm still coughing.
Hunter S. Thompson is dead. We weren't that close, but it was nice knowing that crazy son of a bitch was out there.

I was dumbstruck when I first stumbled across this line. I had, until then, never heard this idea expressed so perfectly. Success isn't guaranteed. However, in failure you can console yourself with the knowledge that you tried. But what if you succeed? What if you do...

"...it never was..."
My comfort comes from the fact that I tried. If you don't try, you can't complain. If you didn't try, and it happens, that's serendipity. If you try, and it happens, then that's success. If you try, and it doesn't happen, it wasn't meant to be. That's comfort.

Glad you liked my present 
First off, happy whatever-the-Hell-you-want-to-call-today and thanks to those who wished me something similar.
So yes, I stayed in Augusta a bit longer than expected. Unfortunately, I was not distracted by sex and espionage. I was sick. The little hitchhiker went gangbusters on me. By Friday morning, I was a feverish, unkempt and unwashed mess. If you throw in a bottle of absinthe, I would have...

I absolutely love your entries! 
And I especially love the fact that you'll mess with peoples minds. It's like my favorite pasttime.
Here's my reply to your email, which didn't come with a return address: "My dog also took my SAT! You're welcome"
I'll send it through your SG profile...but for some reason it never ends up in the persons inbox. So let me know if you get it at your email!

i think you can just reply to the original SG email. that's all i do. i think that works, but don't bet anything important on my word. i don't know why my email didn't have a return address.
I'm back in Atlanta and only a few days late. There was illness and adventure. i'll write about it later. I gotta get to class now.

Randomness . . .
Some god-damned evolutionary hitchhiker is attempting to colonize my chest.
Every time I study psychiatry, I'm reminded of the facts:
1- I know a lot of fucked up people
2- Knowing how someone is fucked up doesn't mean you can understand them any better
3- Humans hate what they don't understand
Nutrasweet tastes like ass. Splenda isn't much better.

Today we learned about suicide, and I couldn't help but think of cute chicks with tattoos.
And now my car is fucked. Not uber-fucked, but just fucked enough to prevent me from going to Athens. Sometimes I wish inanimate objects could feel pain.
