Finished my bike project yesterday.
It started the day I got back for thanksgiving, and the bike was already in pretty good shape. The wheels were going out, as well as the tubes, and the handlebars were a little funky, but otherwise, all the components worked extremely well for being a 15+ year old bike.
The seat was one of the biggest problems, however. Someone had jammed a bike post that was...

that was incredible.
after a full night of friends and interesting car talks, it was incredible.
the shell of the car protected us from the dry coldness that threatened to force life back into us, to try and keep us from combined body heat, but instead, a moist dome was created inside, with the windows literally soaked.
the first breath of cold night air is always the best though. In a euphoric...

I had the most intense dream about buying the right dessert for thanksgiving last night.
It had something to do with crafting said desserts, and how much of each dessert there was left when I wanted to buy it.
The pumpkin pie was half gone by the time I wanted to get it, the cobbler was pretty much full, and some other pie had one piece taken from it.
And I was really frustrated about that,...

I’m home!
And things haven’t changed a bit.
And i’ve gotten right back into the grove.
And i like it.
I also started my bike today, ill post some pictures once we paint it.
We bought a nice black spray for the body, and some florescent blue for the rims and possibly some decals.
I can’t wait to finish it, it should be done by friday.
But tonight, I get to see my...

every now and then I like to go to my brother’s or friend’s reddit accounts and upvote everything they’ve posted.
with enough upvotes spread out like that, their karma goes up ever so slightly, and hopefully that makes their day.

Hedgehog's Dilemma →
bestofwikipedia:
The hedgehog’s dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an analogy about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one...

I feel like absolute shit.
No reasons why, nothing to blame it on,
just a really shitty day.
I guess you could blame it on the abscence of sleep, even with sleeping pills,
that was a weird feeling, being awake when the drug for those pills kicked in.
not pleasant, thats for sure.
it was sad to think that just the simple feel of you in my arms could have voided those feelings,
and yet a...

I shouldn’t have blamed it on you like that, I’m sorry.
I’m frustrated about that, about missing the touch of your skin.
It always gets the hardest right before I can see you again. Like a lapse in defense, almost, when the siege is almost finished.
But I’ll make it through to next weekend, and when I see you again,
I’ll make sure to make it up to you. ;)

my dafts folder is a scary place.
it’s like one big graveyard of unused posts.
the ones most recently created usually only stay there for a day or two,
but i have some posts from like two years ago in there.
usually it’s an idea that never came to fruitation,
or maybe feelings have since changed,
or maybe i simply forgot.
that seems to happen a lot.

I can always tell when I haven’t gotten enough sleep.
Actually, I can always tell when I’ve gotten enough.
There’s a certain luster to a day made by full sleep, one that is unattainable otherwise. It isn’t just the vibrance of colors, sounds, and feelings; it’s the creation of those objects in your mind. With sleep, they are optimistic, loving, beautiful things....

this whole internet censorship thing has been a long time running now.
its interesting that interest has peeked so much right now, when this was debated about a year ago, and was given hardly any attention.
im still all against it, however.
it’ll be interesting to see google’s take, seeing as they are a huge corporation, and apparently legislature listens to big corporations.

Take the gh in tough, making the f sound
the o in women, making the short i sound
and the ti in nation, making the sh sound,
that makes Ghoti,

i use that word too much.
it shouldnt be used as a space filler, and there is no way i can continue letting it be used as a closer.
yet my mouth feels empty without releasing it. like a negative space, full until i open it up to the world, where it is released and may never return.
but that kills meaning. repetition may be emphasis, but sometimes the contrast of three words against a whole lot...

that was an incredible weekend.
now we all trust bob, hell I lived with him for a year back in the dorm, but when the going gets tough and rain covers a darkened windy road to what seems like nowhere, you start to doubt.
but all paid off, thankfully. after what seemed like days on an endless black abyss, we finally found home, or at least a temporary one.
its funny how quick we can adjust to a...

there’s always a week or so in the month that just isn’t right
its funny because its like a period, just a week of offness, a week of unusual feelings.
that or i just happen to getting shitty sleep for a week of every month
everytime i want to right something here when im less than sober, or off, it ends up despicably passive aggressive.
not a good characteristic, if i do say so...
it seems that we are afraid of what we dont know.
obviously that makes sense, as seeing is believing and the gap of information of not knowing is just as evolutionary important as we deem it socially important.
i have to admit, its one of my least favorite as well.
the dark doesn’t scare me as much, i know that it was once light.
its a break from the pattern, a completely unexpected...

its nights like these that kill me.
its when the alcohol has finally meandered its way to my brain, taking care to make sure i know that i miss you, to take care to notice that that empty spot by my side is where you should be?
its sappy isnt it?
i could make it doubly so by stating that my bed tonight will be very cold.
i hope these bring a smile to your face, even a little laugh, knowing...
