That idiot boy in the corner is speaking deviated truths

Yes, I'm back to capping posts with enigmatic lyrics. Can anyone name the artist and title? Anyone? Yeah, I thought so.


This bit is going to irritate some people, but here it is. This morning, after I got out of work early, I walked down in warm San Diego weather to the local coffee shop, but I got sidetracked by one of the used bookstores between my apartment and the cafe. I stopped in, bought a $2 Borges paperback, and then kept walking, where I got my mocha and sat down and read for a bit, since Arcade Fire's Funeral was on the cafe speakers.

Yeah my life is OK. How's yours? insufferable

I read a bit more into my Sunshine/Noir book, because I have literally a very old habit of reading textbooks before class starts. Seriously, I started doing that in 1st grade. What I'm finding is that there is not very much creative writing inside. The fiction is all South-Of-The-Border surrealism, and the rest of it is mediocre poetry and gringoes whining about how much San Diego has lost it's soul...because of all the rich white people. I don't know if this is an intentional ironic selection by the editor, but I doubt it; and I imagine that when I point this out in class it won't be fun for me. Ah well. Why can't people just write good short fiction and we can read that? No, the beast of story must be laden with the basket of being Commentary.

I'm finally back to normal hours tomorrow, which means that I get the weekend off! First day off in 2 weeks...I have plans, oh yes I do. Poker night on Friday!

I have been collating tuition information on colleges...going to the places I'm interested in, checking out the academic programs, and how much it costs. Best deal so far? Austin Peay University in Clarksville, TN...also University of Florida in Gainesville. both have Journalism programs...hmm.

Oh, and I took this test and found out that I'm an ENTP, or Inventor in Jungian archetypes. Here's what it had to say:
risk taker, easy going, outgoing, social, open, rule breaker, thrill seeker, life of the party, comfortable in unfamiliar situations, appreciates strangeness, disorganized, adventurous, talented at presentation, aggressive, attention seeking, experience junky, insensitive, adaptable, not easily offended, messy, carefree, dangerous, fearless, careless, emotionally stable, spontaneous, improviser, always joking

We are only 3.9% of the population...and for desired professions, the first thing that popped up was "dictator".

So vote for Aaron. England prevails!


Er.





... you had text books in 1st grade?

Maybe the book will be a reference of what not to do. :9

Nick Cave... Wonderful Life... The man is god... Better late than never Xx
