Basically Stolen...

So I know that I said yesterday that I was going to post something real today. And I menat it.

At the time.

But so far today has just been fully draining. So I was sitting here in my room crying out towards the heavens racking my mind for something to write about. So I did what I always do when I get stuck writing.

I checked Facebook.

And, as it turns out, one of my friends from the way back ib days (not that I really talk to any of them anymore--I think I got out before the bonding-of-war portion of our educations, or that I just missed the last 3 years of it) posted something called "Ways I Know I'm Getting Old," and, since it was rather entertaining, I decided that I'm just going to steal and redact it down to the ones with which I particularly identify. (and I added commentary in brackets [like this])

4) All my friends are getting married and/or having kids. [or getting divorced. But mostly the first two]
6) Drinking is not exciting. [how true]
7) I listen to the light rock radio station and they're all songs I know. From when I was in high school. ["I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep..."]
8) I can't find anything and I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind. []
10) I'm not worried about what classes I'm going to take next semester and I haven't had to worry about waitlists for a while.
16) I enjoyed watching Prince play at the Superbowl Half Time Show. [He's so freaking talented!]
17) I'm beginning to regret all the things I didn't do yet and am worried I'll never get a chance to do them after I leave college.
18) I drive the speed limit.
20) My favorite band broke up 3 years ago. [This is only kinda true; but my favorite musician and stand-up comedian are both dead (Elliott Smith d. 2003 and Mitch Hedberg d. 2005, respectively)]
21) I resist changes in technology. [I don't even have a camera phone.]
22) New athletes in professional sports are younger than me. [I'm 2.5 years older than Andrew Bynum, who plays center for the Lakers. Oh yeah, and he's halfway through his second year in the league.]
24) My hopes of becoming an olympic gymnast are over. [too random to remove]
25) I buy my textbooks.
26) I read them.
27) If I don't I can't pass the class. [so true, so true]

I hope everything is well with you. Hopefully, school will eventually settle a little, so I can just ramble on meaninglessly like the good old days. In the meantime,

Peace, love, and joy to you all.
