_Last weekend we went to Purdue. It was super, super fun. It was great to see all the Purdue people and we even had the original 241 Sheetz 14 group there. We're super sexy.
That's Ben, me, Nick and Jon. It doesn't get much better than that folks. If your computer asplodes from all the rampant sexiness I'm sorry. It's Jon's awesome fist pump pose that did it. Damn. Meryn you are so lucky.I put this in here because of how surreal my Sunday was. I woke up at Purdue (with a very unhappy back and neck) and then drove to Columbus, then I drove home to IU. It was weird to get up at a place that feels so much like home to me and have to drive away from it to go home...twice in the same day.
_Bloomington people cannot drive for shit, and the roads suck here. If not for Todd's super amazing back way to get to the stadium lot, I'd probably go insane.
_Yes there are lots of hot girls here. And they dress it. Especially going out. They all wear those super short colored dresses. Walking around a bar is like walking through a veritable rainbow of sluts. I felt very under dressed the one time out at the bars. And I really don't like those dresses...I suppose they wear them because they are trendy and they think they look good in them and guys will talk to them. But they just, for some reason, make them seem that much more unapproachable. I don't know why. I mean, I don't talk to girls anyway, but when they are wearing those dresses it's even more so. Wear jeans or something. Then maybe I'll look at you without thinking that you're a slut.
_I have yet to get lost.
_I've spent a lot of money I feel. Stupid moving is expensive. And I keep telling myself that a lot of these things are just one-time purchases, but, like someone pretty told me, a hundred one-time purchases is still a lot of money.
_I have one class with 10 people in it, so much for the whole 'big university, big classes' argument. Oh and I'm the only dude. And it's a math class so, logically, I'm the only one who is good at math (because girls cannot, or will not, do math). This means they'll all be asking me for help. I suppose it's better than nothing.
I'm not sure that IU is 'better' for me but I think I will be happier here than at Purdue. Again I think I've just changed a lot. The dudes in the picture above can tell you all about how I used to be. I'm much different now. I'm much better now. It's amazing to have a second chance to go to college again.
And before I go I just wanted to say that the rule for this journal is that you (as in the reader) must never assume that I am talking about you. Even right now, when I am addressing you the reader, I am still talking about someone else. Don't ask me how this is possible, I just know that rules can never be broken. Especially by me. If I wanted to talk about you, I would use your name. And if I have a problem with you (again, not you) I will talk to you about it, not mention it in some obscure blog. I hope this clears up any confusion.
That's it. I'm a Hoosier. And one day I'll be very proud of that fact. Right now I just want to get through this alive.

This song has become a daily event in my musical habits. It makes me...believe, even more than I already do, that anything is possible.
"Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And I headed straight..into the shining sun"
-Pink Floyd, 'Coming Back to Life'
