My hair is getting obscenely long

 

[image on old website]

"So when we go to Iraq, we'll use this new thing that we'll call, let's say, a 'laser'. Now with this 'laser,' we can zap anything from anywhere in space."

 

Things, no matter how bad they get, can always be put into perspective. I had a trainwreck of a day, between a long, long, slightly sick day at school, worrying probably too much about a personal pseudo-crisis, blowing out a speaker in my car, and getting this really not-cute-looking injury in ju-jitsu. So I come home and find out that the husband of one of my mom's people broke all but one of his ribs.

So this leaves me with two choices tomorrow:
-Go to school, miss class to go see a play with the senior class, come home and have so much work to do that I can't see any of my friends or tend to my little crisis.
-Stay home, sleep in, have a good breakfast, work at my own pace, and not be allowed to go out, but stay in and talk to said friends.

My mind's been made up. Perhaps I'll get the chance to fix my problemos with people if the gods smile upon me. So I'm spending tomorrow alone and going to watch a tournament this weekend, where I'll see many of my very favorite Austinites.

Maybe all of this will give me a little perspective.

Bill Hicks is the funniest man alive. Go download his stuff from your fileshare network of choice, but only get the full albums because all the jokes go in sequence and so it's not half as funny if you listen out of order. Search for:

-Rant in E Minor
-Relentless
-Arizona Bay

But, don't download any of this if you are Catholic or like Rush Limbaugh. Just don't.

You probably haven't been playing too long, probably are just starting trick level, but you love the game, your future home pad is in the mail, and social life is dwindling rapidly as the Dance Dance conquers yet another victim.

So I found a song that's probably overplayed, about to get horribly old, but has very meaningful lyrics. I present John Mayer's "No Such Thing" for your consideration:


I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for


That's my theory on life. I officially like John Mayer. Good work, John; you're a good man.

So I wander into Tina's house tonight and see Aroon relaxed on the couch with a very shiny laptop, surfing the web. It takes a few seconds for me to compute that he's sitting on the first functional wireless network I've ever seen - and it's owned by Tina, of all people? She's a computer hater yet she has a very shiny laptop with blue LED's everywhere and a leet-as-hell wireless network. So here I am, typing useless stuff while Eminem cranks over the radio intercom.

Things are never, never, never as they seem.

So I keep getting mail from UT. The day after I apply for housing, I get a letter from them, inviting me to apply, since I had gone to the Honors Colloquium. The Early Decision deadline is November 1st, and I'm still sitting here contemplating actually doing it. Here are some sample responses to the idea:

Mom: "No."
Dr. Kilman: "If it's what you really want to do, yes; if it's not, no."

It is what I really want to do.

Every day I'm finding more people going to Austin. I've seen my wonderful old clanmates (hellos to Josh and Jason and Cary, and even you, Ford) up here a few times and it's made me really decide that I love the kids. Then Kris moves down there - I can look forward to many days of making music and watching really funny TV. Then my good local friend Chr1s (hisir!) IM's me the other day telling me that he's ditching his gf to move to Austin next year (same time I'd be going). And I've even found out lately that my current teammates are moving to Austin.

It's where I really want to be. It's the people I really want to be with. It's the classes I really want to be in. I love what I could become and what my environment could become.

It is what I really want to do.
