Homelessness... causes and solutions.

great movie lines, Elizabeth Taylor, "you seem so strange, so deep and far away, as though you were holding something back" "i am"... from "a place in the sun"

the sentiment is exquisitely painful.

I should be reading

I'm so excited about the possibilities of this blog!!
NEWS FLASH: I just signed up over at Imeem.com s I can start work on my playlist. My true playlist that is....awesome!

I have so many post ideas...i just have to find time and energy.

I've got to quit goofing off and do my classwork. ug, after 4 years, any subject is stale, and any student would rather become a roofer.

till next time :)

Smart guy

That has been my label since...well, I suppose since the first time I went to summer camp. I'm not entirely sure why. Certainly we didn't take any intelligence tests there. I will admit that I was decades more mature than 90% of the kids there. I was just never into playing in the mud competing for !!10,000 points!!. Everything at camp was about points. Whoever could chug 6 glasses of milk got points, the cabin that ran the fastest to throw out the trash...ad absurdum.

Smart guy, well, yeah, I'm smart. I can do anything I put my mind to. But there are others that can do that as well, but they aren't labeled smart. Did I get this persona because nobody knew how else to label me? I'm not buff, and I don't like sports, so jock isn't an option.

And again, I don't hate the label, but I wonder how I got it since I don't consider myself genius material. I just have a firm belief that anything is possible.

I feel like i could keep posting all day today, but I have stuff to do. I will keep note of things I want to post about though.

To my readership, Thanks for looking, I'll see you in the funny pages.

First post and Warning

Every so often I get the urge to tell people who I really am. Deep down inside. But I've always held back because I fear being vulnerable. In this space I'm going to see if I can handle being vulnerable to my readership of zero. If I can't handle that I'm in trouble.

If you're reading this via the "next blog" button you may be disappointed that my life is as dull as it is. I won't have any stories about drugs or sex or anything really exciting, because I've never done drugs, or had sex, or done anything really edgy. I don't think of that as a bad thing, in fact I'm terribly proud of being this dull. Granted there are times I wish I was more energetic and "cool". But overall I've made conscious decisions about what to do and what not to do. In this blog I'll get into my reasoning behind some of these decisions, as well as stating my opinion on various subjects.

I'll put one caveat here that will apply to all future posts...Just because I can't explain "it" (my opinion etc) to your satisfaction does not mean it is wrong. you may have a huge IQ or have wrestled with the subject longer than I have. I'm writing these on the spur of the moment, so if you stump me, i suggest you find a smarter guy to argue with.
