Take Five

I'm not sure what's wrong with me. After the most exhausting week ever, plus a fantastic dance party, I was only able to sleep for six hours. It's like I can't shut off my brain, which makes sense with everything going on right now. As nice as it is to be excited to wake up in the morning, it makes it hard to get a full night's rest.

By the way, Dj Lukas Suveg/Lambda Chi/Lukie Loo/whatever you go by was awesome last night.

My shower has decided to stop draining, at least quickly. This forces me to turn the water off halfway through so that it doesn't overflow. I will almost certainly not get this fixed before I leave.

As ready as I am for school to be over, I'm definitely not ready to go home. I have to finish my portfolio and write an ethics essay. One of these assignments I care deeply about; the other I'd just as soon not do.

But it's just like, hey, do you ever get the feeling everything is working out ok?

Mail Call part deux

Dear friends,

We're getting older. Lukas will be 21 soon. Some of you need to think seriously about marriage. And fast, because weddings are fun and one of y'all needs to have one.

Just sayin',

Dear research class,

Sorry, my heart just isn't into it, so I'm pretty much mailing in this project for tomorrow. Just so you're not surprised.

Love,

Mike

Why are you like this?

I think "Grace Cathedral Park" is one of my favorite songs of all time. This morning I was listening to Pavement and it was good because it felt like everything was right in the world. And in a way everything still is, but I'm unsure. It's strange that the year is almost over; stranger still to think of the things we do to ourselves and to each other, and to step back and watch all these forces acting on us, and to watch the things we set in motion. I'm not sure what direction things are going. Last night reminded me how much I need these people around me.

I have no motivation to do things anymore and I've become very cynical, at least in regards to certain parts of my life. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that sometimes I think things simply exist without being good or bad; it is only by the absence of other things that we form judgments. Is anything missing?

Mail Call

Dear Jon Stewart,

I know it's really funny to make fun of conservatives for the fact that they don't really know what "teabagging" means, but if you could just keep quiet, maybe they'll keep doing it even longer. Really, it's funny enough just to watch; don't risk them realizing their mistake.

Love,

Mike
