Alright so my Geography 200 professor is a pretty interesting fellow I may have mentioned him before. Anyway he looks exactly like Professor Snape from the harry potter movies just with.. brown hair and with a bit more color in his complexion. But yeah, my suspicions that he is a huge pothead were confirmed today when he showed us a slideshow on western europe that was actually all just pictures of amsterdam. by pictures of amsterdam I mean all the various 420 friendly spots in amsterdam such as cannabis college, the inside of some random cafes, marijuana menus etc etc

it was a pretty entertaining lecture

but yeah I have 3 long term assignments that I have to do now for 3 different classes and the clubhouse reopens tomorrow so I'm not gonna be able to just sit on my ass all day and do nothing anymore. I am sad. oh well.

well today, my band wasnt able to jam so I did my entry for the GW Iron Chef competition. I'm pretty happy with the way everything turned out. Mad props to my faggot brother for not only taking pictures but reminding me of my initial plating plan that I had forgotten about (and that lettuces was expensive christ) but yeah it was a lot of fun and all that.

btw adeline thanks a bunch for that mike patton album, we listen to it all the time when I hang out with the guys in my band, and I've never been able to find it on the intarwebs. <3 john zorn. you're the man

I said John, John he's long gone
Gone to Indiana, ain't never coming home.
Sitting in a sycamore in St. John's Wood
Soaking' day old bread in kerosene
He was blue as a robin's egg brown as a hog
Stayin' out of circulation till the dogs get tire
Stayin' out of circulation till the dogs get tired

watched hidalgo tonight with rachel. the movie wasnt as good the second time around. I think the difference between being 15 and being 18 is you can tell when acting is extremely heavy handed and when directors really suck. takes quite a bit away from what was a good movie in my memory.. sigh

So, senior year is halfway over. This presents a dilemma to me. On one hand I can't wait for high school to be over, and on the other I cant wait for high school to be over. But there is this girl. She is way more into me than I've ever been into anyone else, only issue is shes a junior. I want to be able to leave high school behind when it is over, but this girl is trying her best to make that next to fucking impossible. Keep in mind this is not the same girl as Wednesday. And man was that sweet sweet fulfillment of like an 8 year long crush.

anyway yeah so I'm really starting to get down to it as far as what language I am going to do next year, I know that I am going to double major in anthropology and linguistics but I just.. I dont know what language to take. I am pretty proficient in German having spoken it most of my life and taken 6 years of formal grammar and literature class in school, so I should continue on with that, but I feel like I should do something else. I had a pretty promising idea last spring, the pastor at my church offered to let me borrow some of his new testament greek material, college textbooks/practice cds/interactive disks that he used to teach Koine greek in his seminary class when he was a professor. It was pretty sweet. And then the Methodist church decided that he needed to go somewhere else and I had to give him his stuff back. So yeah, I've been scrounging since then to find good Greek texts, but yeah no one wants to fucking learn greek so even BN doesnt have teach yourself greek/greek textbooks. This is all compounded by the fact that there are like 9 different kinds of greek that you can learn, ancient greek, koine greek, scholastic greek, medieval greek, erasmusian greek and modern greek and fuckin hell if most of the texts I have found online dont even tell you what one they're talking about (and they're all different ffs)

my other option is do do parsi, chinese or hindi (something thats.. actually useful) but I would have to learn another alphabet to do those (I've already got the greek down thats why I've kinda tried to commit to it) and not to mention that mandarin is a bitch, and most people in india speak english already. OSU has a great persian language program so I may look into that as well, though my friend mark who is a persian language/islamic studies major says its really fucking hard but absolutely worth it in the end.  oh well

but yeah once I get that dilemma sorted out I'll be straight and life will be good. just gotta figure out what to do about this girl.

man, I remember how last year in my hazy fucking stupor all I wanted was to date this one girl. it didnt work out in the end (and we're actually better friends now than we were before) but yeah in may I actually found myself with a girlfriend. she was pretty good looking but man she turned out to be fucking dumb and I couldnt stand being around her after a while.

now I have a girlfriend thats really smart and funny and way more fun to be around but isnt quite the looker that the last one was. shes way better though, I'd take her over the old one any day sweet jesus.

I cant wait til this school year is over goddamn

man yesterday was a long, confusing action packed day. I got so much shit done as far as like reading and what was left of my schoolwork (actually I only did my studying for ITK) but I also squandered a lot of the day too, watching soccer on tv and playing soccer video games

but we jammed for like 2 hours yesterday and figured out a setlist for friday which is good. We're playing all originals this time, and I dont know if the other guys appreciate that as much as I do but god I hated playing those incubus songs without vocals for the people there. hopefully on friday our friends and schoolmates will be there this time instead of just parents and family last time damn that sucked

and then I... well. bluntly. ended up with a girlfriend last night. (thank you jeff for helping me get my head on straight)

I made 81 fucking dollars today. the country club threw a party of gatsby like proportions, and I was in charge of a considerable amount of the food preparation and cooking today which was unusual. Usually I wash dishes, but since the other assistant dude was there I was moved over to cook on the line while the sous chef carved meat and the head chef schmoozed the members (a necessary part of his job, actually, but yeah its cool) fun stuff

well anyway I've got a week of winter vacation left, my band is playing a show on friday which I am hyped for

but my free time is severly reduced as compared to what I was expecting in that I work on wednesday saturday and sunday and we gotta reherse for the show and I have schoolwork and shit

fun times eh

I really do not want to go back to school. I always said I would never get senioritis. I also had previously assumed that less than 75% of my classes senior year would suck. This is compounded with the fact that now that I finally have another job I'm gonna have to start working weekends again, which means less soccer watching and less book reading for me. That is no fun. Then again.. not having money is no fun as well. I really should stop thinking about my debt that doesnt fucking matter at this point and focus on positives. Man would a girl help with that.. but they cost a lot of money to keep around ffs

Man oh man did I get a kick out of Colbert's picture at the beginning of the chapter about homosexuals. He looked just like Geraldo Rivera

anyway yeah it was a good weekend, got to see mark quite a bit, helped homich clean his bong. Thursday we got crunk and watched fox news till 4 am and then I worked 11:30 to 5 at Panera and 6:30 to 9:30 at the Clubhouse.. then I worked 7-2 on saturday and baked with homich and had mark pick me up on his way to hang out with old ITK buddies. I left my car in homich's driveway and his mom almost couldnt get out to get to work. God damnit I was so embarrased. She probably hates me already anyway, I always fuck up like that other there. anyway yeah then we played trivial pursuit for like 6 hours. what a nerdathon (I love it though)

today has been such a great lazy day. if only I hadnt had to get up for church. that would have been great.

Blackburn finally fucking won today even if it was over derby county lol

so I got cockblocked by my extended family on sunday and again by my mom this morning. and then work was unbelievably busy and super awesome. But yeah the rest of my day was good, dinner before 9 oclock (at japanese steakhouse none the less)

yeah

I realized today while at work how you can be middle class and unhappy. Many people I have come across dont understand why I am in general an unhappy person, I live in a nice house, in a nice area (read: a very white area) I go to a good school and I dont have any real hardships.

yeah thats all fine and fucking dandy but I still end up feeling like the underground man because there is nothing for me to accomplish. there are no hardships to overcome, nothing to give me a sense of self-worth. my life is literally just me going through the motions except for one vital aspect.. possibly the one thing that keeps me sane: books.

fuckin if I didn't have literature and history/science/anthro/atlas books at my disposal I'd lose it. I am in limbo between the person I am and the person I want to be.. and I'm kinda stuck here bound by time because I have to graduate high school before I can do anything with my life that I want to do. I just feel like my place is in academia learning real things from real teachers not getting up at 6 am every day to drag myself through a quagmire of ugliness, deformity and fucking horrendously bad educators l;jkasdf3w4r rawr angry

anyway what as I was saying being middle class may be easy financially and in all other matters tangible.. but upstairs man does it suck unless you have a fulfilling job and your own house

I dont even know where I am sometimes. I'm so far in debt right now, but between two jobs I can only seem to get 5-10 hours a week and that is really not helping me out at all. I'm hoping after the new year I can get shit straightened out with my managers and get some regular hours goin down or things are going to be really ugly. Thank god my dad doesnt charge me interest, because I have been like this for almost 2 months now.

on the other hand, I have time off like I havent had since last May so its pretty great, but I feel super guilty about it. somehow sitting around reading, practicing rudiments, banging on my djembe and drumset and playing soccer video games are just not nearly as fulfilling as making money even if I hate working at panera so fucking much and when I'm there all I want to do is come home and do the aforementioned things... but when I'm home doing them I feel like I'm completely wasting my time.

I also can not focus on one thing for more than 30-40 minutes at a time.. its to the point where its actually becoming a problem I think. Boy do I have a lot of good shit for the doctor next year when I go in for one of my last checkups on my parent's health care plan (chest pains, racing heart, poor short term memory, lack of energy, inability to focus... oh wait I just need to stop smoking pot for a while probably)
