Defense is something to be abhorred? →

We are half hearted creatures fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday by the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

Reading and schooling
It’s been so long since I took a class outside of the business school and I have been spoiled. I forgot what it was like to have to read inherently wordy texts and descriptions of seemingly useless information.
I’m having to reteach myself how to skim and filter again. I’m used to writers doing it for me, with the idea that no one will read or care about what you have to say if...

Seizure Heart
nelzz:
Every time I see this girl in class my heart seizes up in a fit of pain. I want to tell her of my strong feelings but I am very afraid to do so. She is everything I’m looking for in a girl ..
Don’t be a puss. Talk to her.
Bored at Ethos.
I’m at a meeting for this magazine (Ethos) I’m going to work for. They are having a big meeting, but most of it has been about stories, so I’m bored.
Though I was offered the job of Advertising Director back in December, they pulled back from that and now are looking for people who were previously on staff. Meh, no big. Either way, I’ll be awesome at my job. As far as...

Portland vs Veneta
samsonite69:
I’m trying to convince myself of this. It’s quite difficult.
Portland
Public transportation
Bev Elo And Spence
More Job opportunities
Shit to do at night
Living with my parents again would kinda hurt dating
I don’t run into too many people I know
Veneta
Tyler Byron Nelsoon and Kass
My Brother
My Mom and Dad
No Rent
Easier to focus on work with so little to do
Any ideas...

Finished up
It’s official! I’m done with Fall 2009 at the University of Oregon. I’m pretty sure I did okay on my last final. I’m probably looking at B’s with maybe one A depending on how I did on the final I just took. Looking at a straight 3.5 going into next year, which I don’t feel too shabby about.
I also finished what I’ve heard is one of the hardest, if not the...

it was funny, today Daniel Owen posts this video of Jarrett Jack tying his shoes in the middle of an NBA game, and he was saying that it was pathetic that he could do that and not have the defense go after him…
I set him straight telling him that they were holding for the last shot and he was wasting that time off anyway and wouldn’t attack until about 5 seconds…and then I educated him...

I'm so fucking bored

hxctoiletbrush:
I heard the terms “merger,” acquisition” and “interlocking directorates” and just about crapped my pants, since I was going to pass out from wanting to choke myself.
And I also just realized that I forgot my cell phone in the computer lab. Fuck that shit. I need a sandwich so badly it hurts.

Well, that was pleasant
I just had the busiest week of school I’ve experienced in a long time. Two midterms and a presentation that was the culmination of 7 weeks of work. Too much all at once if you ask me. I got the high score on one of my midterms, and a B on the other, which was nice. I find out how well my group members and I did on our project and presentation next Tuesday…
S.A.D.
I don’t know if Seasonal Affective Depression hits anyone else like a ton of bricks, but it’s hit me… well you get the idea. I find even the smallest things require motivation to achieve, which is so frustrating. Everything I’m doing in school has an odd double-sided effect that doesn’t make sense to me: a) I’m bored all the time and b) I’m stressed and...
Oh sweet mother.
I feel sick to my stomach, extremely overworked and extremely under-appreciated. I have midterm peer evaluations today, of which I’m working on for my assigned person in my group. I feel like I deserve a decent amount of the credit for my groups work so far, as I have been a CHAMPION in presentations and work outside of class. Yet…
I feel like everyone in my group secretly despises...

I hate my life sometimes
tjdragt:
The NBA is involved with gambling scams since the early 2000’s, my favorite team has the shittiest TV contract in the history of sports (excluding 3 counties, including Veneta) my favorite team drafted an absolute motherfuckin bust in Greg Oden. My favorite team is too much fucking talent that they don’t know how to distribute it… My favorite team is involved in a game with 90 foul...

I did this for me and me alone so fuck you if you have something bad to say.
I HAVE ONLY POSITIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS. If you want to arrange a private screening… well, you get the idea. :D
Ugh.
The flu really sucks. I can’t stand this. I’m getting better, but this ridiculousness needs to end. I didn’t have it for very long, but I can’t stand feeling like some poor sick boy.
Also, 2 midterms and a presentation due this week. Awful.
