I'm nursing my 3rd crown and coke for the evening in an attempt to even out before Ronnie calls me. Its not that I'm not happy to see him. Soon, hes going away to boot camp, so when he called and said he'd be in my area, of course I wanted him to stop by for a visit. What I'm not so thrilled about is the fact that he will be accompanied by Shandi, ( Read more... )

The details are slipping fast, partly because the first time I wrote this journal entry, I did so in a SECOND dream I had accidentally slipped into, mistaking it for reality...My time, concentration and energy were put to waste on a journal entry that does not exist, so now here's the Cliff Notes version ( Read more... )

The Supersize Me screening was only moderately enjoyable, partly due to the tall guyin front of me, whose head blocked 40% of the screen. Morgan Spurlock gave us a lot of time and delivered a comical and informative speech about the film, then opened the floor up for questions. He fielded many, and he handled them in such a friendly way that I ( Read more... )

The sun has just set and a calm storm is brewing, which is gonna serve as a nice backdrop while I spent the evening studying, reading and drinking coffee. I'm going to try to be productive and avoid the television tonight, unless of course this week's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher is replayed. I somehow missed it twice already. Now that Six ( Read more... )

In spite of.... 1) my headcold that hasn't gone away 2) the polls showing that Bush is way ahead of Kerry and 3) the fact that Misty intends to make a t-shirt that reads "Easley Rejected", regarding the soap operatic ordeal that has played out between her and Brian ever since our vacation in New York...I'm still having an alright day ( Read more... )

Normally, when I bump into an old friend on campus (sometimes "old friend" could be someone I had a class with only one semester ago), we exchange pleasantries and make vague plans to get together. It never usually happens. Often, this is because hanging out with old friends requires that I get out of my shell and go through the awkward stages of ( Read more... )

A moderate thunderstorm is in the works, so I should sleep pretty well tonight. Its Friday night, but its not your ordinary Friday night - Outside, things are absolutely calm. Misty and I stepped outside to enjoy the rain and talk, but our conversation seemed too loud. Normally, there are a few parties going on, gangsta rap shit blaring from ( Read more... )

Its the first day back to school, but I'm not dealing with the same sort of stress a lot of students deal with because I'm only taking two classes: Hispanic Cinema and History of Ancient Philosophy. The Ancient Phil class is being taught by the same professor I had for Ethics a couple of years ago. He is probably unaware that his course inspired me ( Read more... )

* The filmmakers behind both The Family Man (starring Nicholas Cage) and Sweet Home Alabama (starring Reese Witherspoon) are guilty of the same trespass. While these movies might be passed off as light-hearted, romantic fare, they both offer the same ridiculous notion. Low-income, modest, family lives are the way to go and any person who favors ( Read more... )
