I’ve just completed my second day of retail work and my soul has already been crushed, I thought it would take longer.

“They are by nature the most humble, patient, and peaceable, holding no grudges, free from embroilments, neither excitable nor quarrelsome. These people are the most devoid of rancors, hatreds, or desire for vengance of any people in the world. And because they are so weak and complaisant, they are less able to endure heavy labor and soon die of no matter what malady.”

Sad Day
I missed an entire day on Tumblr because of College and I’m too lazy/tired to go back and read the thousands of posts I’ve missed. Hopefully this will never happen again.

I am in conflict. There is a certain female attraction of mine that I am getting to know. However, she has daily obligations (high school marching band) that keeps her busy every single day until late. So, our contact is limited. I see her every once and a while, but it doesn’t feel like enough. I don’t know what to do to talk to her more than 30 minutes (in text messages) a day....
Death Valley
I just did some calculations for fun and figured that if we covered every single inch of Death Valley with solar panels, it would generate 4.3% of the electricity the U.S. consumes in one year (3.82 x 10^15 W/h (roughly)).

I've been lied to
For the first time in my life last week, I ate Oreos without dipping them in milk first, and they were so much better. They’ve always been OK, but I’m not a big cookie guy, so I never really bothered. I ate an entire pack in two days, and just bought another.

I haven’t seen any Bones love on Tumblr. Oh well.

My Brain and I
Brain: Hey Jacob, you know that slight pain you've been feeling in your stomach for the past two evenings?
Jacob: No.
Brain: Yeah, well it turns out it wasn't hunger afterall, it was constipation.
Jacob: Oh really?
Brain: Yes, but it's gone now.
Jacob: OK

Deathrace
I didn’t tumbl this earlier but yesterday I could have easily died in a car wreck. It’s been raining here in San Antonio, and it’s a scientifically proven fact that when it rains here the death rate goes up like 8000%. Anyway. I was driving and came to a complete stop for a red light on a street that’s very twisty. My car was completely motionless when all of a sudden it...
Riveting
I saw a battle of giants last night. A battle of strength, wit, and morals, which lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. I saw a man’s dream crushed —crushed as if it were nothing more than a leaf on a sidewalk in autumn.
Of course I’m talking about Olympic PingPong. A Nigerian beat our only American male player last night in the preliminaries, sending him home. The game...
I kinda like it
I’m pretty sure that for the first time in my life, I’m listening to my expansive collection of Bob Dylan on shuffle. Usually I listen in some kind of order, either by album, decade, or song version.

tumbl-me:
Really good.
You weren’t at Huebner Oaks at 7:20 were you? ‘Cause I just saw it too… and I agree.
Nope. Silverado. But that wouldn’t be the AMC Huebner Oaks would it? I got kicked out of there once, haven’t been back since.
Saw Henry Poole Is Here today
Really good.

I remember when I was young and people would ask me what I wanted to be once I grew up. I would usually say psychologist or fashion designer. I guess I was a weird kid. I still haven’t gotten out of that. Its weird to me that in two years I will be off to university to study to become a counselor. Its surreal. I am signing up for the ACT and whatnot. I know that living on my own is...

Currently listening to The Doors, eating a Big Mac and browsing Who Killed Tumblr’s archive. A perfect Sunday night.
Oh snap! My man Who Killed? got a namedrop but no link. Must correct this wrong.

I want more people to follow on FF, do any of you know anybody good? I started looking through my whole following list but then I got lazy and also none of the ones I checked had a link to it.
Modesty
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it before but about once every two weeks a friend of mine and I get together and have lunch somewhere close to his work. During this time, since we don’t talk much in real life, I break out into ultimate story telling mode. I tell the classics, and the new stuff, it’s great. There isn’t a second where one of us isn’t doubled over...
