pills

Pills are these tiny, magic beans that have these massive effects. I'm terrified my boy will get into them when he's older. I don't care if he smokes, drinks, or does certain drugs, but pills and fentanyl scare the daylights out of me. I always wondered, growing up, how the medicine knew which part of your body to help. I didn't understand it just went through your entire body, and there could be side effects.

Doing this is much harder than I thought - watching the EURO games and trying to think of something to write with this word. Carmel Pathways. That was the name of the homework organizer in HS, but now I'm thinking that was Carmel Connections, and Pathways was the name of it in Jr. High. Weird what info we remember, yeah?

sharks. the only thing humans fear more than rising gas prices. Nobody knows anybody that knows anybody that's ever seen one outside an aquarium, but bring up any policy that will help with shark protection or prevention, and there's nobody that will vote "NO" on the funding. It's actually pretty easy to not die of a shark attack, but I bet it's still among the top animal or death-related fears.

tutoring always makes me think of the old Ball State tutoring office, which was one of the best jobs on campus, and were thus impossible to get. I didn't try very hard to get an on campus job, and I really wish I had. It would've been a lot easier, and would've made the work/ study balance much easier.

My vision is blurry in the morning if I don't eat breakfast, and my patterns have been off since our engagement ended. I sleep much later, and working from home only feeds into that pattern. I've been skipping meals to the point that my body doesn't always remember that it's hungry. I need more regular sleep, and to eat as soon as I wake up.

prank

I've never done a really great prank. The closest I've come is rickrolling my friends into going to meatspin.com (do not go there). I used to send things like, "hey our school just recruited the #3 QB in the country" and send a link that looked like ESPN, only to have them get meatspun. It's been years since I've gotten my buddy with that. I might try again soon.

This should really be two words, like "neck tie". I always pronounce this in my head as a word that rhymes with "bounty". My buddy Matt's fantasy football team name is always the Cincinnati Bowties, which I guess is an actual thing. Do not look this up if you're at work.

The collar makes or breaks the shirt. If you wash it too many times, it starts flaring out and you look like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. You can avoid this by getting the ones with the tiny buttons there, but that can look kinda cheesy, and less baller. The ideal mix is a brand new shirt, but you're only a few washes away from the aforementioned anti-gravity collar. Ladies, it ain't always easy being a dude.....just most of the time.

laughter is such a powerful thing. Most girls want somebody funny, and I've done a lot better with certain chicks than I ever deserved just because I can crack jokes. Candy, flowers, compliments on her shoes - none of these will get you laid like being funny.

I love how the orchestra kids always treated it like a sport. It was certainly nothing to be ashamed of, but to walk around and say "we won state back in HS" always seemed weird. Also, the whole 'getting offended when i suggest you're in band' thing was a little old. It's all playing music, for chrissakes

“to me, abstract was always an excuse for somebody without talent. "that guy is a painter". -"oh yeah? kinda looks like he drank paint and yakked on a canvas". "oh, well, it's abstract". …”
