And it builds from there, it will be forgotten off and on to himself and think that this means it may not even exist anymore but it does which is queer, is thought tangible? It gets stuck in his throat later and here he's at liberty to dislodge it - take it out on these poor cunts behind a grill and wearing a cap indoors, they serve a purpose for this world, their worst nightmare the inadequate man. He's yelling at passing cars, he's actually throwing his head into the air and screaming, now this is anguish it should almost be filmed, this is real life and it feels strange. Now it's uncalled for this bloke's a good bloke in the maxi wonders if maybe he's so cranky for good reason, had the indian special in the past?

I went to seminar today and we had a 30-45 minute roundtable discussion about Trump at the beginning of class. I outed myself as the only (very ambivalent) Trump presidency supporter, and rambled autistically on too much caffeine while staring at the floor. The other people were vehemently anti-Trump, and a girl left the room crying at one point.

Went well though, I think. By the end, had rapprochement with everyone, including the girl and her friends assuring me I hadn't caused it. I really hope not. Everyone said they were OK with my (leftist) defense of "anyone but another plutocrat." Maybe begrudgingly or facetiously, but still.

Felt weird. Never meant to make anyone upset. I'm just autistic and like talkin' about sterile abstractions while making jittery "look at me, I'm being theoretical" hand gestures.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

I graduated from Highschool, certain I would be an English teacher. I mean, I knew I couldn't write like Stephen King or Michael Chricton could, but I was still proud of my writing. Besides that and lifting, those were the only two things going for me.

Now I'm almost 21 years old and I haven't written a single thing in those past 3 years. I haven't lifted a single weight, written a single thesis. I haven't done anything with my life. I can't even do multiplication anymore!

I'm fat, lazy, and I lost my steam. Back when I was in Highschool, if I told someone "pffft, I could write a better book than that", I believed it, and I MEANT it. I can't say those same words anymore. When I realized I could no longer write, I told myself I hated English. How could I be an English teacher if just the thought of writing English pissed me off so much?

I need to write a book. I need to read literature. I can't let myself die like this. I need to relearn everything, back to formula. I need to practice my essays like I'm studying for the SATs, I need to listen to old people talking on the radio, I need to dance to poetry and write myself unsent love letters.

And I can't neglect my body anymore.

No more junk food. No more cutting corners. I have to get back on those weights. I have to push myself. I can't die here, not like this. I used to be a /fit/izen. Sure, it sounds silly, but there was a great sense of pride in being able to call myself a /fit/izen. Where has that man gone? I used to be smart. I used to be witty. Teachers used to love me. Once.

I can't die like this. I can't die here. Where did all my fight go? I need to survive. I can't die like this. I can't die like this. I can't disappoint my momma. I can't die like this.

idk man, he's just so similar to me and it isn't as if he's really ugly or anything, he just isn't 'in shape' and a gun fanatic which is actually kind of cute, he's into all the same subjects i am and we even play the same sort of video games it's just....i'm not INTO him and i really wish i were but it's that sort of desperation that keeps me coming back and that isn't fair to him but maybe it'll click soon and i won't leave again

then again adam's adorable and we have so much fun at work spraying whip cream on each other's noses and tying timers to each other's aprons but

and then there's LOGAN who i don't even think likes me but there's something uneasy between us that i can't place

i've got to do right by him, by him, he deserves it, and ive got to realize life's going to end soon enough

I want to live in a small town in another country and all I have here is my family and a few friends but I don't want to leave them.

I feel conflicted about Trump winning. On the one hand his tax policy will benefit me and my family greatly and my stock portfolio (stuffed with domestic oil and whatnot) will likely rise exponentially...but on the other there will be environmental devastation, state lands may be privatized and sold to unscrupulous corporate interests and the poor brutalized by an unfair conservative tax system that benefits the wealthy (i.e. me and people like me).

I'm not panicked by the thought of Trump becoming POTUS, like so many other left leaning people, but it's definitely going to be a step backwards...even if it has a decent chance of benefiting me economically.
