sactown livin'

it is now sunday and that means Claire officially left yesterday and Sarah leaves today. a lot of others have gone and the rest will be leaving soon. but not i. i will be remaining here, in Sacramento, for this spring semester. i've spent a few days over break hanging out with some of my Sacramento companions (who still live here) and have been taking notes on what i will be doing while i live here in my new state (as a college student, i guess).

so far i've observed that the majority of my time outside of school and work (at the job i still don't have but am working on getting) will be spent drinking coffee, thrifting, eating moderately priced food, sitting at home on the internet/reading (yay!), and going to random places with random people whom i hope will stop being so random and start becoming people i can comfortably call my friends. when it comes down to it, i may be from Sacramento but really have no idea what i'm doing here. but i have hope for this new year at a new school with my new hair and glasses.

the average american male

i just finished a novel called "The Average American Male" by Chad Kultgen. did i love it? yea. do i recommend it to anyone? not really.

it is a ton of vulgar nonsense from the brain of an average american male who goes through relationship bullshit and just the over all bullshit of life. i suppose if you enjoyed Tucker Max then you might enjoy this one. the enthralling thing about Tucker Max is that it is a compilation of ridiculous, but "true" stories. this one is fictional, but accurate, and mostly just funny as shit. nothing special but i'll keep it on my shelf in the section of vulgar books i won't want my future children to accidentally find and read.

twenty-ten

WOOHOO!! for another year. 2009 started out on an upswing from the end of 2008 but at a certain point it began descending. i'm hoping that now that i have to write new numbers on everything that my luck will make a turn for the better. based on the fun time i had with Nick, Johnathan, Jonathan, Becca, and Albert last night, i have a pretty good feeling about Twenty-Ten.

things i predict will be "like so hott this year" just off of feeling:
1)White Boys with Beards on Bikes: usually i prefer my boys with smooth faces but recently i've been seeing more and more beards that i like. of course i'll have to burn all of these boys the Natalie Portman's Shaved Head CD so they can learn how to properly manage their facial hair.
2)Low Maintenance Hair: i love having really intricate hair that everyone loves, but i'm tired. i want to wake up and just let it be.
3)Out of State Schools: however much i love my beautiful California, we are fucking broke which does not go well with trying to get into a state college. i'll be attempting to do my research for a sweet deal in a nearby state.
4)Abstract Painting: i've always tried to have my own personal take on my paintings, omitting and adding elements as i wish, but because art college recently killed all of my creativity and has left me dry and yearning for inspiration i feel that maybe if i just attempt to put paint on the canvas without a specific vision i will come up with something.
5)NBA Basketball: as if my NFL enthusiasm wasn't enough, the new, young Sacramento Kings have inspired me to possibly take an interest in basketball again. it could be fun to have yet another team to be excited about.

here's to a great year (and decade! so exciting!) ahead! ya'll go nurse those hangovers now.
