So the funk is over...
Basically, I was confused...
I could no longer tell why I was being social...
Did I want to, or was I just doing it to appease others...
After the time alone, I know...
I do enjoy being social...

I'M BACK BABY!
The explanation of whitewater...
I've realized when I drink at a whitewater party, I just get depressed. Don't get me wrong, I met a bunch of cool people, but overall, it just makes me feel illa t ease with myself. At the time, I felt like I needed to leave. I don't regret the choice, but I do feel extremely guilty about not spending time with people I miss and care about up in whitewater...especially when I'm sober. To you people, I appologize with all my heart.
So, somewhat of a half-assed excuse, but it's the truth. also, I've decided that I need some me time. to that effect, I will become a social hermit. I'm going to stay home when I'm not working or going to school. I'm also going to ask that, if you have the means or availability, please don't come over. I really do need this time alone. I'm not sure how long this will last. It might be a day, a wekk, or a month...I just don't know. Thank you in advance for everyone's understanding, and I will make it quite well known when I've decided this 'funk' is over.
There are a few things I want to post about, lots of things running through my head.
First, my dumb ass speech teacher. She really is. She mis-uses words all the time. Example: We were doing a class activity, where your group had to decide if a certain trait was one only associated with women, men, or no difference. Well, the same activity was done as a survey at oxford. She kept calling this a "placebo" group. really? this group was..."A substance containing no medication and prescribed or given to reinforce a patient's expectation to get well." or "An inactive substance or preparation used as a control in an experiment or test to determine the effectiveness of a medicinal drug."(
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=placebo) maybe she meant a control group. The worst part is, she thinks she is right. She is one of those people who uses fancy words and has no idea what they mean...argh.
Also, she is a crappy teacher. We have our midterm coming up next week. Yesterday, we were going over the study guide. Part of it is the 5 parts of rhetoric, according to Cicero. The terms are in latin, and I'm fine with having to learn them. We have to also memorize the definitions she gave us. Example:One of the definitions is "treasurehouse of ideas" which she explained to us is brainstorming. We will be marked wrong if we put "brainstorming" because apparently, it is more important to know a metephore written by an ancient roman, than to understand what it means. So in other words...she isn't trying to teach us content, she wants us to spew facts. That is a true educator...
After that, I don't feel like continuing with my other part, and it'll be a later post. Til then sports fans...
Wow-a post that was completely unprovoked.
A few humorous things have happened in my life recently. The first one to talk about is the fact that I've gotten not one, but
TWO checks from cingular, for 19 cents each. Thats right, not only did they send two checks, the checks were for less than the postage to send me the checks. Since I have direct deposit, and never have to go to my bank, I think it would be less cost effective for me to use the gas, put wear and tare on my car, etc and go to the bank, than it would be for me to throw the checks away. Damn thats humorous.
The second thing is something you will only really understand if you've ever been in a college class that you went to for a reason other than attendance counts(i.e. wanting to learn or understand the material). On monday nights I have a three hour class that is Logic(philosophy-wise) The way the class works is, we have a quiz on the stuff we learned from the lecture last week, we get a break, then we have a lecture. For the first lecture, I didn't quite understand the material, so I obviously had questions, which I asked. Well, the next week rolls around, and before the prof gets there, this bitchy girl, who is taking the class with two other of her friends(read:group of girls who don't care what goes on in the class as long as they pass) says, outload, in front of most of the class, "Hey, do you think you could
not ask any questions this class?" Now, I don't have a problem with people thinking that, because I have done so on occasion. This is even more acceptable if the questions are totally off topic or redundant. Mine were not. What I do have a problem with, is assuming that every person just wants to get out of the class ASAP and merely pass. Anyway, Prof gets there, and we take the quiz. After the break, he asks if we had any questions about the quiz, since it was our first. 'Bitch' raises her hand and says(I shit you not) "Um, your quiz was harder than the examples we did in class, and thats not fair." I actually chuckled out loud. Maybe if she made sure that she understood the material during the lecture, she wouldn't have a problem with simple quiz. I don't know for sure if this is irony, but it makes me smile.
Anywho, Life is a bit crazy right now. Work is going well. I've made a few friends there, but there is still alot of silly middle school bullshit between the staff. Luckily, I am not apart of it at all, so I look from the outside in. School is going well, nothing to really report. Social life is non-existant for the most part, because it seems i get super sick every weekend. I got an ear infection. 22 and I get an ear infection, the fuck is that? Okeedokee.
Love life is on life support right now, I really don't have opportunity to meet any women. The women at school who are my age are all in serious relationships.
Oh well, at least I'm money
see...I'm money
OK, so I'm posting under threat. So let's see. I have been working and going to school...I hang out with Steve and Megan, other Steve when he comes home, and Dawn not often enough. I am leading a very boring existence right now. I'm lame.
Songs that remind me of people:
Pour some sugar on me:Dawn, 'cause I did it to her one time when she was singing the song
"Wish you were here:Phil, 'cause him and I played it on guitars
Moondance:Pett, cause he played it loud while i was sleeping
any Cars song:Mistarz, cause he totally hooked that connection up
Wonderboy:P-nuts, cause of D-Day and he is a wonder boy
Blue Man group:Fish
Cowboy Bebop theme:Tommy
Best Friends girl:Lindsay
Thats it for now...eat me
*late additions, as they come to me*
Don't ya(wish you girlfriend...):Heather S, cause thats her song
I believe this says it all
