this is one of my all time favorite songs. the packing is going horrible. way overwhelming. i didn't realize the amount of clothes i have. i must have at least 40 plain black t shirts. i have over 200 books in my bedroom that i need to move. plus my bed, desk and other stuff. other than that i'm pretty happy right now.

hard to believe, but i'm completely finished with the semester. right now i'm packing all of my stuff up to put in storage in the morning. by noon me and my friend will be driving down to la for the holidays. i'm starting to get a little teary eyed about moving away from my roommate.

today's postsecret was really good.
shit, i wish some girl would write a book full of love poems about me. that's not a random statement, but a reference to something on the postsecret thing. i mean, i'm not sitting here thinking that arbitrarily.
i thought up a really good joke in the shower this morning. it has to do with 2pac, my grandma, and a box of whitman's samplers. i find that my best stuff comes out of nowhere. trying to sit down and write something works, but it often sounds scripted and overly complex.

today my friend ernie and i were walking from his apartment to some cafe so we could sit and finish some work when we happen to walk past a sizzler. so, he asks me if i'm hungry and i say why not. we go in and order a couple of burgers which includes the salad bar. i don't know why i wrote any of that since it has nothing to do with the point of the story. so yeah, burgers and salad. the place was filled with really well dressed folks and by overhearing the some of the conversation, i figured out that they were all part of the same church congregation. everyone was eating together and laughing except for one older lady who was at a table eating by herself. i felt bad for her. i think the other church people should have invited her over to eat with them.
just some random thoughts.

i don't know if this bit is funny but....
"if you ever want to feel like shit about being single, head on over to an IKEA on a sunday afternoon; nothing but wall to wall smiling couples holding hands and picking out really nice bedroom sets. because that's where that whole sex thing that i've heard so much about happens. and then there's me... 33 years old... i'm checking out a futon sale with my mom. "wow, this one looks nice, 30% off of failure!"
eh... i don't know about that one.

i was on the train to the airport the other night and someone was sitting behind me having a phone conversation; "hey, how you doing! no, it's nothing but good news! i'll talk to you as soon as i get there." that's me paraphrasing, but that was the conversation in a nutshell. anyhow, that made me happy. i like it when good things happen to people. i wonder what the news was in reference to.
i watched 500 days of summer last night. booooo.

yay, back to southern california tomorrow night for thanksgiving with the folks. gonna stay there until saturday morning and then i have to catch an early flight back. it's dawned on me that i should start packing my shit now so i can easily move out in december.
i was thinking that if got a second job, such as bartending or something else flexible, that i could use the extra income to get a pretty nice one bedroom in the city. all i would need to make is an extra 300 bucks a month. my friend ernie wants me to move in to his place, but his brother mike is way too moody for me. plus, three guys under one roof is not an ideal living situation.

interesting day of events in berkeley.
a friend of mine took part in the wheeler hall incident and has been arrested. he's a grad student in the rhetoric department, so i'm not sure how this is going to turn out for him since he's under contract.
i feel horrible that i wasn't on campus today to show support.
update:
those occupying the building, including my friend, have all been released with trespassing citations. a peaceful end for all.

i just recieved a message through my school email:
Approximately 200 protestors are continuing to demonstrate on the south side of
campus in the area around Wheeler Hall. Wheeler Hall is occupied by protestors and
the building remains locked.
All classes at Wheeler are suspended until further notice and employees who work in
Wheeler Hall are advised that they should plan on not being able to enter the
building for the remainder of the work day. Employees should confirm alternative
work arrangements with their supervisor, as possible. Instructors who teach in
Wheeler Hall are being contacted by e-mail.
Fire alarms have been intentionally set off in several buildings including Barrows,
Dwinelle, and Sproul Hall. The fire department is verifying that these are false
alarms and will allow people to reenter buildings when it is safe to do so.
this is in response to the 32% fee hike set across the u.c. system on wednesday. it is a pretty bad situation. with this fee increase public education in california is becoming nearly unaffordable for students from working class backgrounds. i know a lot of students who won't be coming back next semester because of the increased fees.

i can hear the couple who live next door to me arguing in their backyard.
Women: Let's stop fucking around and try to get this job done!
Man: What do you think I've been trying to do for the past half hour!!!
i'd love to stick my head out my bedroom window and shout down at the guy "hey asshole, stop fucking around and get the GOD DAMNED job done!!!"
ha!

phone off, messenger off, everything off. i'm taking a break from everyone for at least a couple of days. except for my sister of course who i can't go a day without calling. it's gonna be nice. cook some good food, write, and just maybe i'll go to a movie by myself tonight.
pork is almost enough proof for me that there's a god.
i need to find a new place to live. i was thinking of moving to san francisco, but the i don't know if i could handle the commute to the east bay every day. the train fare alone would cost roughly around fifty bucks a week and i'm not sure if i'll have the wallet for that. i'm moving out at the end of next month after which i'm going to sublet a friend's apartment down south before coming back up here. damn, i hate doing stuff.
