The business of history repeating itself is all fine and dandy, except that my own personal history seems to repeat itself exactly twice, annually. That’s not to say that all of it does, but certain issues, specifically, the yet-to-be-published epic that is my higher education. I’ve invested every penny to my name in this semester - this semester ( Read more... )

Last Thursday I was extremely late in arriving at the airport and so I ended up scoring points with a lesser-known Pittsburgh Pirate who desperately needed the flight by giving him my seat [secretly so that I wouldn’t have to rush through security only to find out that I missed the shit anyway, see, he’s an athlete, he can run across airports, ( Read more... )

Nonetheless, that was the case yesterday and so my weekend has been consumed with visiting my poor little Ashtyn; Ashtyn who has hour long seizures on Fridays in July. The funny thing was that my sister had to ( Read more... )

Where the f is everyone? All I want out of life is to take a quick vacation before I die of boredom, but no, everyone is too busy with their jobs and shit to be bothered with me and a free vacation offer. Bitches. Well, regardless of the statuses of my so-called friends, I still need to go. Are you all so willing to let me go to Vegas by myself? I’ ( Read more... )
