Drama abounds here. Mariah has decided to drop out of school, to not go here to Dartmouth anymore. Which makes sense to me, she really doesn't get anything out of this school except the people, and most of her special people are graduating now anyway. At any rate, she had already bought her plane ticket back to school in the fall. Actually, it ( Read more... )

how are two near-empty containers of nacho cheese dip like two lost souls?

the answer will be in an upcoming post...∞

It reaches a point where not an hour goes by in which I don't glance up at Mariah, then fix my gaze and wonder to myself what in the world the future--even the near future--will bring. As we got into bed last night, I said to her, "It gets better every d ay, doesn't it?" "Yeah, it's fucked up that way, huh ( Read more... )

I DJ now. I am a perfectionist, and have constructed a brilliant set of old school R&B/funk. Every transition calculated, every beat-match setting frozen in my mind. I'm bound to wreck your body as I turn the party out with a set that will have you dancing to songs you may never have heard ( Read more... )

and realizing that I was at my best last spring, when I was teaching fellow Dartmouthites about education, the "other", and life in general, when I was updating my journal many times daily, even if only to write about playing basketball, enjoying pain, tr ying to score with four different girls (but i would have stopped at one--i'm not a monster ( Read more... )

you're a senior in college. you go back to school in the first week of january, knowing you only have 20 weeks of classes left, two quarters. the day after you get back, The Tabard (the co-ed 'fraternity' of which you are a part) throws a little party. you drink, and you laugh, and you dance--though you don't normally dance; today is different ( Read more... )

I haven't been to any of my classes since October 12th. That was 19 days ago. I've got problems, I think. Oh well, just need to graduate and not get fired from my job ( Read more... )

The entire right side of my body is damaged. I've been playing some hard-core basketball lately, Allen Iverson-style, taking everything to the basket and getting pounded in the process, diving for loose balls and getting floor burn on my chest and stomach. It's quite satisfying ( Read more... )

i feel like listening to jazz (particularly Miles and Coltrane) the past seven or so years has helped me in my approach to day-to-day life. Instead of expecting things to happen, or forcing things to happen, you merely let things happen. Then, if you are paying attention as things unfold, you will find your place in it. You have a place in it, ( Read more... )

I'm training myself to become a DJ. I picked up a new turntable this week because one of my other ones was no good for scratching, and I ordered 21 12" singles from online. So I'm almost ready. Every night when I go to sleep, I'm a better DJ than I was the night before. I've got people that are willing to hire me to do shows once I decide I'm ( Read more... )
