It all comes down to tomorrow, er… today

By Justin | October 21, 2007

The Red Sox kicked Cleveland’s ass. It was phenomenal. Once again I ate too much (so full!). I took a nice long shower, have become fully nocturnal again, and earlier tonight I watched a box theatre performance. Despite my otherwise good weekend, I feel myself slipping into another generalized malaise. I don’t like these times. [...]

An increasingly attractive option

By Justin | October 15, 2007

Wow. For once, the thought of joining the military after college is actually sounding plausible to me. Not as a soldier or anything; there’s a lot to do that doesn’t involve killing people—at least, not directly. And there’s a guaranteed career. And lots of possibilities for advancement. I wonder if it’s all those Army commercials [...]

Update without a cause

By Justin | October 11, 2007

I don’t have much to blog about. Well, I mean, I do; but I’m far too tired to do it. I just wanted to post something here so people knew I’m not dead, or something. … Actually, that’s a pretty stupid reason to post. You all know I’m not dead; there are other ways of [...]

“We’d stay afloat and make the most of everything…”

By Justin | October 5, 2007

Dropping AMST209 gave me such a morale boost today. For the first time all year, I biked to Foss on the way home from class, took my shirt off, and just lay on the hill in the fading beams of sunlight. I got in touch with some people from home, and felt good about that. [...]

On goals, focus, and personal improvement

By Justin | October 4, 2007

When given a tangible goal, I work relentlessly to achieve it. Running a better time in cross country; pulling out all the stops to get hired by Apple. These are all things that result in an immediate, visible goal: winning the race, or getting the job. These are the easy goals to focus on—the ones [...]

“From the burning building where I lay…”

By Justin | September 30, 2007

Before I go to bed, I do want to say that there definitely is something essential, or some combination of essential things, that I feel are currently missing from my life. I can’t put my finger on what it is or what they are, but life hasn’t been as wholly fulfilling as it was last [...]

It’s becoming light outside as I write this

By Justin | September 30, 2007

Today was a pretty good day, as evidenced by the fact that I’m still awake at 5:43 AM and blogging. It wasn’t as productive as I’d hoped in terms of schoolwork, but I still got a lot done. The bathroom is spic-and-span after I cleaned it for about an hour. Mirrors, sink, countertop, toilet (eww), [...]

An addendum to the day’s negativity

By Justin | September 26, 2007

It’s 67º outside in the middle of a late-September night. The crickets are out. And it’s going to be 90º today. Weird, but delightful. And I think my mood is progressing toward that same state, as well. Slowly, but surely, it’ll be delightful again. Interesting phone conversation tonight with Erica and her housemate Renee, by [...]

Falling deeper into a hole

By Justin | September 25, 2007

This cold is only getting worse; today a more phlegmy cough developed, and the fatigue seems to be getting worse. I finished most of my reading for today’s classes, but upon waking up decided I was in no shape to attend class and emailed both professors the news. Ruddiman was really nice and sent an [...]

An attempt to compose a meaningful entry

By Justin | September 13, 2007

Life is always such a treat. Even when it throws me the busiest, most hectic schedule of my life, it still finds ways to make me smile all day long. Or maybe it’s me that’s finding ways to make life make me smile all day long. Life isn’t capable of finding ways to do things, [...]
