“I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine.”
–
It takes place in an impalpable greyness, with nothing underfoot, with nothing around, without spectators, without glory, without the great desire of victory, without the great fear of defeat, in a sickly atmosphere of tepid scepticism, without much belief in your own right, and still less in that...

I’m eating lunch at Target right now, and looking out the window, a boy just jumped on one of the big concrete Target balls that they have by the parking lot, and did an Atlas pose.
And for a split second, there was an image of the earth holding up a man instead of the other way around.
And for a split second, everything was right.

Adjunct
Time and again the best professors I’ve ever had are the assistant/adjunct, or part-time. In my head this has something to do with not being taught by a fanatic of a subject, but by someone who is merely very good at whatever it is being taught.
Tortugaisland.net
Since The Pirate Bay is dead in the water, I have this dream of making what will become the newest go-to spot for torrents called Tortuga, after the island famous for its piracy.
But I won’t because I’m lazy.

Math
Me: Assume that a vampire's tolerance to sunlight decreases as it ages. If a 144 year old vampire dies after 240 seconds of exposure to the sun, and a 2100 year old vampire dies after 30 seconds of exposure to the sun, how old is a vampire that dies after only 5 seconds to the sun?

Blu
So it turns out all of my morals and values can be undone by a movie on Blu-ray. It doesn’t even matter what the movie is.
I could go from “NO! I will not allow you to harm an innocent!” to “OK, do whatever you want” if someone gave me a Blu-ray.

Wake
This morning for the second time in my life I woke up late and missed class. I’m not sure how it happened, because I double checked my alarm setting before I went to bed. I purposely keep my alarm clock on the other side of my room and inside a bookshelf with a breakable ceramic plate next to it so that I will have to think to disable it. During my first year of college I literally set a...
Contemporary
For the past couple of days I’ve been thinking about how young I look. I’ve always known I look young, and before I was just like “oh, well”. But as I venture more and more years from high school and I meet people at stores that I went to HS, middle or elementary school with, they see me in my high-waisted spongebob squarepants, with my “regular boys haircut”...
