Late night

This is a short message, written at quarter to 3 in the morning. Just writing to say update some things in my world. Sunday was the first night of the rest of the semester and I'm living it that way. Chi-town is a pretty sweet place, which is where I spent the weekend. I came back renewed, refreshed, and rejuvinated, all actually meaning the same thing. Tomorrow, though, I'll be tired. No food to help celebrate Ramadan and not a lot of sleep to celebrate 8:30am classes. Goodnight.

This day and age

Does anyone ever wonder that they may not really be saying sayings correctly? I almost wrote 'this day in age'. That's what I say, but no one notices my mess-up. Oh well, I digress before I even begin.

School is tough stuff. Senior year isn't as easy as it was in my fantasies. The time is quickly approaching where all decisions for the next 5 years of my life must be made. And before I can make those dicissions, I have to survive the semester. I am not too sad about how things have gone so far, but I am trying desperately not too get too much more behind than I am. I have learned a lot this year. I have learned that you cannot feel comfortable with anyone until you settle down in the literal sense. Let me clear that up with the instance that I learned it. When I came to the STL in August I got a kind of uneasy feeling about how Monica and I were doing because there didn't seem to be too many happy times in the first few days. Turns out it had nothing to do with Monica or me, but rather it was that I was only in town for less that 18 hours at a time for those days and when I was finally here for good and could take a breath and Monica could actually spend quality time with me, things got great again. Again, the lesson is that I have to be able to be in the moment to enjoy the moment. I also learned that most everything people can say has a logical problem in it (thanks LSAT). I learned that retarded people and kids cannot be executed. I learned that Kant was a really boring man for most of his life, and then he became a beast philosopher. I learned that the city of St Louis has a very very sketchy political system. I learned that even if you don't talk to someone most of the time, the times you do talk can be wonderful. I learned that hip hop dancing is hard and really fast. I learned that I can never do the worm. Working out is good. Columbia will never match up to Colombia. Halloween is for whores. I'm whore-hay.

The list goes one. I'm going to include a picture now cause I want to. Pictures are nice. We are great. God is great. We are done.
