Black Wenesday; Birthdays; In Sickness and In Health; Ice Cream Socials
No, I don't have schizophrenia, at least, not yet. I just felt that in this to-be-epic update, I should jumble down a lot of topics to serve as topics to which I will textually orate on.
First and foremost, while writing this post, I just received a call, The empty bedroom in our 4 bedroom apartment is getting filled by a girl named Sierra. She should be moving in today or tomorrow. This will no doubt be interesting. We always felt that they wouldn't put a loner in with 3 people who've known each other for 2-3 years now. Let's just hope it doesn't disrupt the dynamic the three of us have going.
Speaking of home front news, my roommate Ken got a kitten. Its something like 2-3 months. Its tiny as all get up. And skittish to boot. I'll probably post some pictures of the little guy later.
Another birthday approaches. In 9 days I'm going to officially be one year older. Pushing 30 much? This "late twenties" phase feels like a "twilight" of the early to mid 20s. Not much has changed. People haven't changed. The world isn't getting any brighter or kinder. More and more people just seem to want to retreat to the comfort of their bubble.
I guess I just feel adrift. I'm wondering what I'm supposed to learn about myself next in order to become the person I'm supposed to be.
Worse than being set adrift, is the abysmal plummet that is the stock market. Its a sad tale about how we got into this mess, and its going to be an even sadder one before we get out. I think we need to adopt the kind of regulation that Scott Adams' has purposed in the past: If you can't explain how you're making money to a six year and make him understand, what you're doing is probably illegal. That pretty much covers the financial sector. I'm tempted to track down my ex-girlfriend from my sophomore year of college and see how she's doing now that Wall St. is in complete meltdown.
Considering international banks around the world cut interests rates today in order to stave off an international bank panic that could've led to a global financial collapse, today might be the day where you order the fiddle you're going to play while the rest of the world burns.
God Bless the dip-shit short sightedness, reckless optimism, and compulsive greed of Reaganomics, right? *Cues the team america theme song.*
These past few weeks of September, having dropped a course that taught me that slave-labor for professors isn't at all enjoyable, I've actually had enough time to work out. I've started swimming 1 kilometer 3 days a week, lifting weights, and playing raquetball. I easily lost 5 lbs.
Then I got sick. My head is stuffed up like nobody's business. A sore throat like you wouldn't believe. So I've been sitting on my ass, watching HBO, drinking Gatorade and eating chicken soup, and probably gaining 5 lbs. It sucks. I was really getting back into the swing of things.
The fact that I totally pigged out on an ice cream social at work today didn't help either.
Ah well. Enough for now. More later.
