¿por qué te vas?

good question, also good song by maná.

so, this last week i was talking to a friend who reminded me of an interesting topic or occurrence about which i ought to blog/write a note. i agreed that i should, and decided that, at my earliest convenience, i would do so. so, here i am, at my earliest convenience, realizing that i can't remember what it was. i don't know if it's due to an acute lack of sleep, or just having been preoccupied with a variety of other concerns as of late. however, i still felt like writing a little something (which may turn into a lot of somethings) and figured that maybe i'd wander into the predetermined and forgotten topic along the way.

so, it's the end of the semester. not that i'm in school, but since i'm still living in student housing in a college town, it's still a time of transition for my surroundings. my apartment, roommates, friends, and jamba. yep, we're switching back to our extended summer hours. 7am-11pm, m-f. only 6.5 hours per week longer, but can i tell you that for the opening manager that little .5 of lost sleep feels like a lot more! so, if you love me, can you pretend that we aren't open then? thanks.

also, many people have been asking me how my dad feels about my recent purchase of a honda. yep. i've become a traitor to my city and my family. well, not really. i like it, and so do my sisters, and my dad is glad that i'm happy. but, i do not plan on driving it home. possibly ever. i'm really not as reckless as i seem.

first time taking it on the freeway was to go to a concert in salt lake, which was awesome! and it was at this place called the venue. i was standing outside in line, and it reminded me of this club i used to go to with my old roommates, and when i got inside i realized that it was! the bricks. (kalena! that one's for you :) the disco balls were still on the ceiling. but i've gotta say, the concert was way better than the techno stuff they used to play there. also less smoky. also full of little high schoolers. but still had tons of fun.

i went to the "alternative commencement" this last thursday. very interesting, and very motivating. like that feeling you get after a great workout, like after i run a couple miles and i'm freaking tired, but then suddenly i feel great and want to go do a couple more. (usually don't, but it's a great feeling:) some have lovingly described me as a "dirty socialist", and it's kind of true. however, i generally try to form opinions on issues not candidates, but i've gotta say, ralph nader is way cooler than i thought. not that i thought badly of him, just that i didn't think much at all, but wow! dude's got a lot of cool ideas. maybe just because they're the same as mine, but whatev! i'm glad that i went, and sad that more people weren't there.

anyway, those are enough somethings for now i guess...
