Now I'm no fan of monarchy, but

oftentimes they aren't to blame. The aristocracy exaggerates their extravagances to instigate peasant rebellion. "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die." - Jean-Paul Sartre

Today Was My Last Day at AMC

The first movie I ever saw there was Borat with Alex back in 2006. The last movie I saw was How to Train Your Dragon by myself in 2010. I had a lot of good memories there.

Regal better be a good place to work or I will be upset.

And unemployed.

Talking to this one girl at work today

and she was a grump. It made me think. Don't let the limitations of your environment offer the constraints of your hospitality and imagination. Only you can set those.

Then I told a coworker my new mission was to make her smile. "At least once."

"Good luck," he said, to which I replied "HEY! WE PUT A MAN ON THE MOON."

Dream big, or get the fuck out of America.

"I really think you'll like the house."

Mom wants to move to the north side of Indianapolis, and is trying to convince me to like the idea because she believes that I'll "like the house." Listen: I'm going to live in this house for maybe three more years and only on breaks. I don't care about the building, I care about the company that lives inside of it and visits it. If you steal me away from my friends in our last years together, I don't think a floor plan is sufficient pay.

Man. If we move away from everything I've ever known, could it at least be to some place more interesting than Indianapolis?

I don't really like candy corn, but this is for AMERICA!

I'm so glad they came out with these. Now I don't feel like a pig when I'm chowing down on candy corn colored like Halloween in July. Thanks America, you make my obesity bearable!

Darn Hoosiers

Somebody in the IndyStar was complaining that Hoosiers are wrong for thinking basketball was more exciting than hockey to which I reply, "When was the last time a hockey brawl was brought to the fans?" Pacers like to involve the crowd, just like in Detroit. That's just family entertainment.

This Cat. Adorable.

Kiki crossed the dining table, sat in my lap, and, with the back of his head towards my face, he stretched up so that his nose touched my nose. People who say cats aren't lovable just haven't met the right cats.

Midnight Adventures

On Sunday I ended up on a group trip to Duck Island at ND, followed by a session of just staring at the dome and talking. This trip helped cement my feelings of belonging at ND, and became if not my first, then at least my second favorite night of my first year of studies.

Sophomore year, I'm coming for you.

Going through old posts

I'm shortening them into their core argument and making them funny. You know, like I should have done in the first place.

A Lot of Great Partying and a lot of other stuff has happened, and I'll get to that later,

right now I'm looking for something else, though.
