I apologize for not updating last week. I have been busy with the summer reading. There’s a story behind that, too. Way back in May, when the lists were distributed, I must’ve been absent from school. When I returned, I asked my instructor if there was anything I missed. His response, “No man, you’re cool.” (He’s Italian and funnier than crap, so it was cool for him to talk like that.) Anyway, on orientation 8/12, I asked some girl if there was summer reading, and there was! So I had to read four books last week. All this, and it’s just an explanation of why Nothing in General was not updated. Today, we were watching a movie in one of my classes. I hear this faint scratching sound of a pen coloring something in a notebook. I look over to the girl next to me, trying to ogle her masterpiece. I was expecting to see butterflies and pansies (which I was doodling at the time), but no, I see the name “Freud” scrawled out. Strange, to say the least.

Take a Proustian journey through my life vis-à-vis the words I have published to the Internet over the last four decades.
Dear Jane,
We’ve had some good times, haven’t we? From the day we first met at the truck stop, I’ve loved you. Remember when you got off work at Hooters early and we went to the English Patient? Granted, neither of us likes those “indie” films, but it was still wonderful just being there with you. I do not know how to tell you this, but we must break off our relationship. I am sure you are wondering why these tragic events must occur, so I will indulge you.

Yesterday, I went whitewater rafting for the first time. It was a lot of fun, but now I face a dilemma; I would like to do it more, but I don’t like having to spend the money. Maybe I can find someone with the equipment…

The other day I saw a guy driving with his gas compartment door open (I am not exactly sure what to call that). Also, his gas cap was sitting right there in the rack. I didn’t know what I should do. I was on the highway. All I could do was hope that he realized that something was awry when he was losing gas at an astounding rate. I am proud to say that I have never left my gas cap off or my lights on. I have one time locked my keys in the car. That sucked.

My brother is turning 24 today. I am not giving him anything for his birthday. I am too poor. I hope he doesn’t take it personally.
