Who's this guy?

It's the story about the steriotypical struggle of a slightly dense yet dashing, young college student and the day by day trials that come with being a slightly dense yet dashing college student. Full of excitment, drama, and a hobo named Ernie. Each day new surprises that only such a tale can bring, tune in for new updates every week, or month....or whenever. So why am I now entering the wonderful world of blogging? I don't really have much to say. Im not overly opinionated, political minded or preachy. I'm just a big advocate for journal writing and keeping good memories in a place you can find them. Unfortunatly I'm also very lazy so I need to do it in a way that keeps my attention. I figure that telling my thoughts and experiences to the world every once in a while might just do the trick. That's all you need to know so don't expect too much from me, just enough.

Bunch of Bums


I'm a bad planner. If I can get out of having to tie myself down to a step by step process that sacrifices my flexibility I will get out of it. I like freedom when it comes to my free time. Things can't not go 'according to plan' when there is no plan, makes it easy to avoid disappointment. This is either because I need time to be lazy or because I'm tired of my time being dependant on someone or something else who then proceed to waste it for me in inconvenient ways. The lack of motivation by others and myself is blatant so I find it intriguing to observe what can cause us bums to find overpowering amounts of motivation that would otherwise be seemingly impossible. Some incentive is waved in front of our face and suddenly our mind is geared to planning our day down to the second. Every minute put to accomplishing work, school and chores is accounted for and carefully crafted into an elaborate plan to optimize your schedule. The lives of my roommates for the past two days have been tailored to the extreme for the release of Battlefield 3. Not a moment was wasted, no sacrifice was too great.
           The places we find motivation are interesting and I can see why people roll their eyes at each other.  Why is it so hard to get motivated about edifying things? It would be nice to get as excited to succeed in school as we do to get a new video game, go to some party, watch a movie marathon or catch a season premiere. Changing priorities is difficult especially to the degree when our week revolves around it and our happiness depends upon it. Having time to kill is nice but desperately working to utilizing your time to get what you want is so much nicer when you are successful. It would be wonderful if I could siphon their excitement and use it for midterms this week. [A motivation siphon, someone start working on that.] They are just as happy to miss out on a good night sleep to play battlefield as I am to get one because right now I’d rather pass out than finish my thought. I’m half asleep as it is which explains why it isn’t much of a thought anyway. Moral of the story: Battlefield 3 rocks hard and midterms depress me to no end.
