Maybe the best quote I've heard in a while...

"Golf is a good walk spoiled." - Mark Twain

Seriously, though...golf f**king blows.

my Debian box is fried due to my violation of one of life's simplest rules: if it ain't broke, don't fix it

see, i was using the old LILO boot loader and it was taking about two minutes for my system to boot. so i decided to update to the new version of GRUB, which would have made my system boot in the f**king blink of an eye. i unpackaged the file and it installed perfectly fine.

then i restarted. turns out my desktop was so old and shitty that it couldn't actually run GRUB. it shut itself down. no boot loader means no boot.

no boot means no way to uninstall GRUB.

good thing my laptop is better than that piece of sh*t could ever be.

being in this transition phase between the psychology and philosophy departments kind of blows. i am, however, completing my credits for a psychology minor. things will work out.

no updates, but i've been sick. once i shake this cold i'll be back on track.

love it, pimpin'

I came up with a goal for this winter...I need to start creating again. I'm going to pick up some new brushes and some canvas, write some stuff, and plan some jam sessions for over the break (perhaps get a band together. who knows?). I'm also planning to come up with a new comic idea. Buddy List was and is one of my longest-running projects but I need something fresh...

Why do I feel better when I destroy something I've made?

Finals week. Holiday bullshit coming up. Mingling...

No worthwhile updates. No new comics. No creative words. Completely worn down.

Thought cancer. Inspiration-deficiency virus. Mnemonic plague.

In all essences, a horrible pilot error has occurred and this particular flight is going down.

Signing off for now.

So the semester is almost over. Winter break is just two weeks away. Half of me is excited for vacation, and half of me is freaking out. This semester has kicked my ass, so to speak. I slacked off a little in the beginning, but I've had more work to do this semester than I think I ever have in college so far. In the past couple weeks I've had five papers to work on. Brutal analytic philosophy and boring research shit. I've been feeling a crash coming on, but believe me, I'm trying as hard as I can to fight it. All I can say is that my final grades for Fall 2009 are not going to be great, especially compared to the past few semesters. I think I might need some time off. Not sure to what degree. The winter break will be good, though. I just really want things to work out. Next semester I need to buckle down and work. I want to finish off my junior year with a much higher GPA than I started with, and that's going to take time and dedication, which I have.
So many important things are going on right now that I want to either maintain or improve.
Work is going alright. It's paying the 'bills' so to speak.
In other news, Munz got charged with a DUI last week. I'm not exactly sure what the school can/will do about it, but there's a chance that I'll have to find a new mentor. It's not just that; his health seems to have declined significantly. He's really the only professor here that I have any kind of rapport with. I've learned more from him than I did in four years of high school. He's also the head of the ever-shrinking Philosophy Department. If he is let go or retires, I'll only have Dr. Aronson, who only knows that I exist because she wrongfully accused me of plagiarism once.

Maybe winter break is all I need.
