Last week I did a tandem skydive with the Golden Knights, the US Army elite parachute team. If you haven't heard of them, imagine if the Blue Angels were skydivers instead of jet pilots. The accuracy competitions they engage in involve placing a pinhead-sized sensor on a bullseye which is only 3 cm in diameter. You could hardly pick a better group of jumpers in...

Remorse
1: moral anguish arising from repentance for past misdeeds; bitter regret
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French remors, from Medieval Latin remorsus, from Late Latin remordere (to bite again).
Funny story:
A friend of mine was at a bar in Germany recently. Several patrons, seeing that he was a newcomer, pointed out a certain individual to him. They warned him not to...

hahaha, weird and funny at the same time!! 
Hi there.
This girl just totally crushed me, but that's beside the point. Don't bother sympathizing--if anything, ridicule me and make me feel like a total jackass for even bringing it up. Heap your abuse on my head. Flay my foolish skin with your rapier wit and let my heart shrivel and twist in the searing flame of your merciless scorn.
Boo fucking hoo.
But...

Are you serious?!! It was that huge fucking party next door; I had a lapse and wrote 201 when I meant 203. You should have just walked in; Flux and i were hanging about and it wouldn't have been that long before you found us. That does suck though.
Man, it's been a long time since I was here.
It'll probably be awhile until I return as well.
I've been so fucking busy lately. My project is really time-consuming lately. Not only do I have to make sense out of all my contigs(DNA sequence assemblies), but I also have to teach a bunch of shit to this new guy, Dr. Jang. He's from Korea,...

Hey man, I'll be in Athens on the 7th for my friend's birthday. If you feel like getting away from all that biology nonsense and drinking with a bunch of undergrads, let me know.
deckwreck:
Yeah, turns out I'm not gonna be up there tomorrow after all... I have to be in Atlanta at 9am Saturday. But, I will be up there next thursday, so I'll hit you up.
If you don't like the FCC, here's a place where you can sign a petition that will probably achieve little. But sign the motherfucker anyways.
STOP THE FCC
I'm about to run to the Science Library (and probably the Main Library too) to do some hard-core research and xeroxing.
Later!

It was good to meet you and optimistress at the Fantomas / Melt-Banana show here in Athens; even if it was brief
I'd like to talk to you about kung fu while I'm sober (heh...) sometime.

What have you done with Jinny?
Please tell her I say hi and the two of you had better come hang out in a month when I get back.

Last week I:
--rearrayed, replicated, and qualitatively scored 960 bacterial clones
--practiced almost every single kata that I have ever learned
--got over a bout of "drummer's block"
--put the smackdown on several fools
--watched people (hang from/pull at) hooks in their flesh
--dug up some good ideas for a tattoo design
--decided to be completely honest with some people and thereby resolved much conflict...

Massive...amounts of data...clogging my brain...
When I close my eyes, I can see Excel spreadsheets scrolling by, thousands of rows of numbers and formulas and codes streaming behind my tired lids.
Must...finish...thesis...
Yep, it's a knock-down, drag-out fight to the finish--me versus a billion or so bacterial cells. Sometimes I wish I could just shrink myself down to their size and fucking tear them...

Dude! As always, your posts have me giggling away like a deranged hyena. 
Change is forcing me to metamorphose as well, and I'm trying to not fight it tooth and nail. (change scares stari girls . . .
) Yes, I am a dork!
Good luck taking down those pesky non-cooperative cells. (Damn them! ) And even more luck with the thesis. Let me know when you defend, so I can send you the good good stari vibage.

I have a ticket to see the great and mighty Fantomas at the 40 Watt on April 2nd.
The Japanese group Melt Banana will be the openers.
This promises to be an extremely brutal show.
The weather is so nice and warm right now; you'd never guess that it snowed last week. Today is going to be a fantastic day.

Tendonitis is a bitch.
I have overexerted the tendon which binds one of my hip flexor muscles to the medial iliac region of my pelvis. Specifically, it's attached to the rectus femoris muscle, usually the strongest muscle in the body.
People will tell you that the tounge is the strongest muscle, which is true in relative terms. But in terms of absolute strength, the rectus...
