Six Months Later,

At the brink of dissatisfaction, I ask myself, "What did you learn?"

1. My sister dismantled the UCR Student Government, which wasted chunks of money, with the school newspaper, which she is editor for. She frustrated them so much that the president sent her sorority to steal the school newspaper, ultimately resulting in her firing.
2. Invest in beards. They often give full return.
3. J Church. Awesome.
4. Slight rips will become open gashes.
5. Numbers, letters; too much of either becomes tedious.
6. Build something with your hands.
7. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." When in public parks, do as the minorities do.
8. I can be a whore.
9. Most people are, anyway.
10. I'm 1/5 dead as of 2 months, if I'm lucky.
11. Jack Daniels is a desperation choice.
12. I've been evaluated as cocky; a surprise to me. (Which makes it all the more likely that I'm arrogant, as well.)
13. Either Bukowski was crazy, or I'm crazy. The times only dictate so much to the cause of sanity, and one of us aren't quite right. I hope it's me.
14. "The shortest answer is doing the thing."
15. Buick Regals won't exist in the future, to the loss of mankind.
16. Potential, whether acted on or not, seems more and more to be what is strived for.
17. Swing for the fences.
18. Confidence, feigned or not, can only lose if checkmated. Chess is a long game.
19. Final judgement on Radiohead: Boring.
20. Predictions say that this year will be the crucial one. If nobody respects the predictions of qualified weathermen, I can't hope for much.
