On my way into work today I was in the right lane, driving about 60 in a 55, maybe two lengths behind a green compact. There are three reasons I wasn’t passing the green compact: I had to exit in a few hundred yards. This is the spot I was pulled over for speeding last […] I am just so pissed off at the state of education in this country. You’re expected to spend four years in school – if you’re lucky – and spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for an education that focuses almost entirely on rote memorization. What’s worse, frequently it isn’t even memorization of […] A public service announcement to women everywhere: my Y chromosome has rendered me immune to conversational subtlety. If you’ve spent three hours telling me how much you don’t like your boyfriend/fiancé/husband, I will conclude that you do not, in fact, like him and are telling me as much to indicate that the way is clear […] I could have gotten laid tonight. But did I? Of course not. And why? Because she’s engaged, and I’m a nice guy, and nice guys really do finish last. If you’re 12 years old and you’re reading this, you give that shit up right now. Women are not your friends. They don’t even particularly like […] I really am going to try to post stuff regularly from now on. Anyway, last weekend I went to visit Yuri at Chapel Hill, which is amazing. If they had an engineering program it would be paradise. I’m hoping that’s why I’ve been so tired all week. I can barely drag myself out of bed […] I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith yesterday, and figured I’d share my pain. ANAKIN: Hello, I am Hayden… I mean, Anakin Skywalker. I’m sorry that your boyfriend dragged you to this movie, but look how pretty my hair is. In about an hour there will be some awkward romantic dialogue, so […] It’s been too long since I’ve written anything down. I don’t really know that you’ll find this one interesting, but it’s more of a therapeutic entry anyway; I’ve been keeping way too many thoughts inside my head for way too long. I guess the biggest thing that’s going on with me right now is the […] I don’t know what’s wrong with people these days. I think maybe it’s that people aren’t supposed to know what they’re missing. Two hundred years ago you worked on your farm. If you were lucky you could buy into some fallacy that there were people in a city you’d never see who were smarter than […] As I was leaving work today I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said “Virginia is for Lovers”. But I misread it and, well, you get the idea. Speaking of bumper stickers, I think I’ve found the one to christen my car: http://www.osamasticker.com/ And the perfect music to which to listen while I’m […] Well, I think I’ve waxed sufficiently philosophic for now. I’ve been in Oak Ridge for almost two weeks now, long enough to have formed some impressions but not long enough to have them bitch-slapped out of my head by the cold, hard hand of reality. Impression the First: When I visited New Orleans, I was […] |
