Things I Do Know
 


Juggling

• Wednesday, September 27th, 2006 • No Comments

I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed. It’s kinda silly.

This is just an entry to complain how “swamped” I feel, which mostly serves to remind myself that my “load” is not that great. Sometimes I feel like I’m about to “bust”. Ha. Ha. Get it? “Bust” my “load”. C’mon, that’s good.

The whole Timothy in the [...]


Still Institutionalized

• Monday, September 25th, 2006 • No Comments

I spent a bit of time this weekend visiting Tim in the mental hospital again. I saw her both on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was initially depressing because she was making herself out to be a lost cause. She flip-flops a lot between, “I wanna get out so I can get spun!!” and “I wanna [...]


Selected Passages from The New Brad Root Bible

• Sunday, September 24th, 2006 • 1 Comment

I don’t really think this needs an explanation. All selected verses are from Matthew, chapters and verses are noted.

This is mostly for fun, and I will disclaim that this is not meant to convey additional meaning into what the Bible already alludes to, but the new “translations” of each verse are true to what the [...]


Bible Study, Day Two

• Thursday, September 21st, 2006 • No Comments

Today was the second day of Bible Study.

I realized something: really strongly religious people, younger people, my age, seem to miss the point completely. I can read the chapter in this lousy book and look at the questions and see where they’re going and the point they’re trying to make and understand it. Is this [...]


Institutionalized

• Thursday, September 21st, 2006 • No Comments

I visited Tim today. In a mental institution, asylum, or whatever they’re called. That was interesting. I’d never stepped a foot into an actual institution before and my experience with them begins and ends with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and I have to say that real ones, even today, are not that dissimilar.

This [...]


Bad Night

• Sunday, September 17th, 2006 • 1 Comment

Last night was bad for me, but I’m going to talk about some parts of it in a tone that make it seem good. OK, Go!

I was trying to put some sort of moves on this one girl. I met her before briefly and some of my friends and I decided that she’d be good [...]


Trouble

• Friday, September 15th, 2006 • 1 Comment

Sometimes I wish this little journal of mine wasn’t quite so public. It can get me into trouble. Luckily I can rely on people’s general laziness, so I can write about them well before it comes time for them to become aware of my situation here and be reasonably guaranteed that they’ll never look through [...]
