every once in awhile, these posts will feel like dejavu. too weird. its almost like a warped version of the movie groundhogs day.

(go bill murray!)

guilt builds

woe, sounds almost like kill bill if i had a speech impediment.

man, im really an asshole of a friend to some people. somebody needs to slap me (figuratively speaking....and physically wouldnt be bad). my priorities arent set straight and i just havent been my oldself. i take everything that happens and just let it organize itself. honestly i thought i could keep things up for awhile until they caved in, but instead im the one caving in.

i need to stop taking things for granite.

...and so when average variable cost crosses the line of marginal cost...

the education system in america, although providing a fascade of faultfulness, actually kind of works. after enduring a grueling and most stressful open book, open note, advanced addition midterm, my stomach instant messaged me with a growl. i could have just warned it by punching myself in the gut but i dont want to be blocked because hey, you cant live without your stomach. anyway immediately after class i headed over to murder burger to feast on their relatively inexpensive mini corn dog meal. i noticed the big bold letters of 2.99 on the poster had been replaced with a piece of binder paper with 3.29 written in ball point pen. in fact, roughly half of the items had been replaced in the same fashion with price increases between 50 cents and 2 bucks. automatically my mind began reasoning as to how and why these price hikes ocurred. i even drew the friggin supply and demand graphs in my head and shifted them appropriately. how sad is that?

aphio keeps me pretty occupied... kinda like the bathroom at a chinese buffet. ohhhhhh-lame. sometimes i think to myself that theres going to be just one little requirement thatll prevent me from "crossing over". the entire pledging process seems fun. ironically, the one requirement that i fear not being able to satisfy is service. placing strict limits on the number of volunteers per project and having roughly only 6 projects per month with 100 pledges makes things very difficult.

and some people need to take a break and just chill. seriously, breaks work.
