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.
"of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: It might have been!"
John Greenleaf Whittier
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.
I want...

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.

I read your account of the party. It sounds like you had a good time. I'm glad.
Keep an eye oh the canary.
Back in the day, miners would carry a caged bird down into the tunnels with them. If they happened to hit a pocket of poison gas, the bird would be affected first. If the bird suddenly died, they knew there was a problem.
I'm noticed something lately that caught my attention. My libido has crashed. Normally, I have the...

well, if you know what's wrong, you can start there.
if not, i guess figuring out what's wrong is next.
at any rate, i hope you feel better soon. perhaps there is a confrontation soon? internally or externally, this is the time of year for it.

i'm addressing the external factors that fuck with my emotions. that part is relatively easy. it's the internal regulation of my emotions that is a bit more difficult.
i wonder if there is a pill that can give me seletive autism . . . you know, for holidays and times like this. i'll call pfizer.
