i was watching a discovery channel show about tattoos, and this guy was commenting that people today feel lost, and that they're looking for a feeling of coherence. they used to go to church and they used to have family units that didn't dissolve. "you've got to believe in something," he said. "even if it's something as trivial as tattoos."  ...

I was looking for a picture of Bobby Knight to post about the game tommorow, but on the front page of the lubbockonline.com i found this. A girl i knew fairly well from church, shot in the head and killed in Fort Worth. Life seems to take some of the strangest turns.  ...

sometimes i feel like i have so little control on the things happening around me, that i should just sit in a box. remember when we were kids? boxes were bad ass and had so much life. you could do anything and they could be anything. now, it's just a piece of cardboard shaped like a box. simply, a box. where did the imagination go?  ...

The pictures from Houston are up and ready for your enjoyment. Schmurgen  ...

the pictures are awesome. i'll post them tommorow. it's good to be home. self-discovery baby. self-discovery.  ...

Off to houston. Tyler says "our goal is to break as many hearts as possible", whatever that means!  ...

When I got to the hospital Sunday morning, no one else was there with him in the Neuro ICU, just me standing at the foot of his bed. His body laid almost completely motionless while he slept, with tubes coming out of every possible place, connected to monitoring devices nearby. My thoughts ran to a couple days before when I read a few emails he sent me, and responded to his instant messages. Friday afternoon, I got a package he mailed me the day before. All that was lively just...

Excuses. She never talked to me at school, so I couldn't tell her how I felt. She never asked me to hang out again, so I couldn't prove I was more than a friend. She never came online, so I couldn't just put it into words. She never called me, so I couldn't let her hear the truth. She never gave me a chance to love her, so I couldn't make one for myself. (via girls-suck)  ...

Coming Soon!! somewherequiet.org will be hosting the first annual "Rose Bowl Challenge" which will be the first of it's kind in our circle of friends! Sort of like a bet, sort of like free dinner, but definitely winners and losers. More information to come!  ...

Counting Crows: Walkaways 'I gotta rush away,' she said, 'I been to Boston before. And anyways this change I been feeling Doesn't make the rain fall' No big differences these days Just the same old walkaways And someday I'm gonna stay But not today  ...

the entire conversation between Dickie V and Coach Knight can be had here here's my favorite though: Knight: But the atmosphere has changed and the personnel around Bob has changed. ... This is a great place to live. I hate to say that on national television, because we'll have an influx of people wanting to come here, but it's really wonderful. We're sitting here on the first of December and it was 65 degrees today -- the sun shines 330 days a year, the people are great, great places...

I just wanted to say to all who i've been shitty to the past few weeks, I'm sorry. I'm working on getting better.... one step at a time....  ...

NERD ALERT: check out this screenshot of the amazon.com page for the new human transport thingy called "segway". it's not the product that makes me laugh, it's the similar items right under it. that is the part where it reccomends things based on other people's preferences. which leads me to believe that the only people who want a segway are lonely and nerdy and look at alot of porn. hey wait...  ...

i love the simpsons, the one where barney thinks it's alcoholics anonymous and lisa tells him, "mr gumbel, this is a girl scout meeting!" and then barney says, "is it? or is it that you girls can't admit you have a problem?"  ...

If I were a work of art, I would be Piet Mondrian's Composition A.I am rigidly organised and regimented, although my cold and unapproachable exterior hides a clever way of thinking and a rebellious and innovative nature. A lot of people don't understand me, but I can still affect them on an emotional level.Which work of art would you be? The Art Test  ...

your attention please, all passengers with confusion and comfort we devout our lies but your reality has consequence escape in front or behind me down the center we score your slide won't someone tell me why the hell we try to cover it up oh god, there's got to be another way some kind of system to help me get close to my soul when out of darkness came a light from inside you it's inside me they tell you who you are and who you want to be...

from this smile on my face, you'd have no idea how much this hurts. i feel like a complete outsider to you. asking mundane questions, getting mundane answers. i'm a damn intrusion anymore, it feels like. oh, as much as i lie to myself, it won't ever be the same. it won't ever be as good. it might be good, in some way, someday, but never as good. was i dreaming all last year? maybe i projected some fantasy backwards on the whole thing. maybe we weren't that close,...

i had heard about this bomb on television but never believed it to be so big. it's called a daisy-cutter and is used more for it's pyschological effect than for it's physical damage. personally, if someone was dropping this bad boy on me, i'd also be running in tears.  ...
