In one of THOSE moods....

I can't help it. If I happen to be in a good mood something happens and I switch back to my natural angry self. I think my neutral face is a scowl. I don't like that. I don't want my first impression on people to be dislike. It's something else for me to work on.

I get to work a double on the 4th of July. This is my favorite holiday, yet this is the second year in a row that I am working on it. No overtime or anything like that. Maybe cold cuts.

I like Independence Day more than Christmas. I don't have to deal with family stuff on the 4th and I always associate it with a brisk July evening. Even though it will probably be around 98 degrees in the shade.

The Tin Drum is a fantastic book so far. The only problem is I haven't had too much inspiration on writing stories lately. I told myself I would get a resevoir of stories before the fall semester. Hopefully I will be able to think up some good stuf before then.

Hasta luego!

Social Damage

I won $10 playing poker Friday. Overall I made $70 for the night. It will be swallowed by my school bill like a whale eating kelp.

I always have ideas about what to write. The problem is I never write them down because I am so confident in my ability to retain the specks of inspiration. I am such an ass.

I once took a test to see if I had any psychological abnormalities. Everything came back normal except I exhibited heightened narcassistic traits. That wasn't really a suprise.

I wish I had more friends. However, the ones I do have are amazing and patient. Patience is probably a neccessary quality if you want to be my friend. Otherwise, I'll just blow up in your face.

That's tough.

Anyway, I am amazed at how long I have kep this thing going. We'll see how it goes from here.

Later.

Post Spanish Synopsis

I am taking Spanish this summer. I will be taking it all summer. I think that is significant enough to give this summer its title: My Spanish Summer.

I think there are a lot of things I need to do but I can't really think of them off hand.

I need to start writing again but there are too many distractions and I need a more structured or threatening environment to be inspired.

20 days until I'm 21!

I wish you, reader (notice the singular), a very happy Spanish summer.

another Saturday afternoon

I know I am boring and I probably won't get any hits because I can't exactly figure this bolg thing out perfectly.
Don't I need tags or something? I don't know.

Anyhow, I am writing thank you letters to various parties for the scholarships I have received for the upcoming semester. I am going to write one good letter and one form letter. The good letter will go to the scholarship that gave me $600 and the form letter will go to the 3 smaller scholarships. I am not writing a unique letter for $35. Cheap skates.

Hopefully the Cards game will be on free TV later.

I am reading The World According to Garp. I am about halfway through. It ain't not bad.

The countdown to my birthday is 24 days.

That is all.

I told you I was exciting.

I'll probably forget this

I have ten minutesbefore I have to work.

I am Brian.

I am a writer or so I think.

I am easily distracted and might forget about this blog thing.

I write stories about interesting persons in pressing situations.

I have a story about a warden who is faced with his prison flooding.

Also I have a story about a punk going to his grandmother's funeral.

I am liberal.

I like Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Spoon River Anthology by Edgar Lee Masters, and Philip Larkin.

I like punk music: Kid Dynamite, Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake, The Toasters, and The Briggs.

That is enough for today. I will provide a better format and writing later. Enjoy and if you are one of the lucky who trip over this blog, feel free to give a suggestion or any other comment.

Have a nice day.
