Well my friends, here I am tired, hungover, and a bit cold. I have survived a night/morning of imbibing alcohol and have come out the champ. More importantly, I have ended this semester with a good score card. Its been a great journey. I am ready to pack my bags into my car and traverse into the great road that is I-70 and head back to Kansas City. To those who are staying in Columbia, have fun, to those traversing greater distances than I, I wish you good luck plus a fun break.
I plan to read 5 books this break, it shouldn't be that hard, since all I plan to do is work. I'll have plenty of time to relax and read.
my book list
1) tripmaster monkey, by maxine hong kingston
2)a confederacy of dunces, john kennedy o'toole
3) a larger memory, ron takaki
4) slaughterhouse five, kurt vonnegut
5)lake wobegon days, garrison kellor

hopefully this will provide me hours of literary enjoyment, and a temporary escape from this often strange cruel world.

to all those having parties, remember bulk liquor is cheaper, go to Costco or sams, and always save some good shit for yourself.

funny moment #1 : Jim James and I were at blockbuster, my friend saw a movie called "Trois" you know. like menage a trois but he pronounced it "troyce" funny shit,
and
funny moment #2: my attempt at humor and social commentary turned awry when we were browsing the parental advisory movies. since columbia is a very backwards racist town, I made the comment that probably every movie with a black person had parental guidance.. unluckily, my humor did not get noticed and i surely made a fool of myself in front of the little black girl behind me.. i apologize little girl, i wasn't attacking you.
don't drive home drunk, no matter how good you think you feel... its not right, i feel extremely stupid and guilty for every time I have done it
allright folks, my hands getting tired, and so is my mind
i leave you a quote about girls from a catcher in the rye
''I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That's the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are. ''
think about it, thats me, and it might be you... doing that is not necessarily a bad thing, just kind of funny.. there are a lot of loveable girls out there, just find me one that loves me back.. hahhahah
take care all
