Weeble and wobble, the occasional squabble...
I sit here now, on my bed, trying to take a break in the midst of of a very rough week. And I must say, my head is filled with too much crap. Now, as I dim the lights and softly play Sigur Ros, I can clear my head of all things. Ah where to begin...
Where I am at right now with my life.
Ah! Yes, what a wonderful topic. Me. Haha, just kidding. No, seriously. School this semester pretty much sucks. The only class that I really connected with was my Celtic and Nordic mythology course. Well, thats fine. At least I have come to the realization that I don't know what the fuck I want to do with my life. I mean, there are only four prerequisites:
1. It's helping people.
2. It involves both science and politics.
3. It involves me working outside of the US.
4. It isn't about money.
There you have it folks. If you have any suggestions, please, feel free to let me know. Right now, I am thinking energy policy. It is a fascinating topic to me and I think I could do a bang up job. Just send my to Kazakhstan or something. Yay school.
And AIESEC. So guess what. I'm president (although I hear the in word these days is "Community Leader"). Woohoo! I am both excited and scared. Having 60 people to manage is going to be fun and challenging. BUT I HAVE THE POWER BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. Man, it's like those crappy movies we used to watch about doing what's right in 6th grade health. All that shit is starting to surface again. Does anyone remember what I am talking about? Those crappy movies about kids doing what is right. They're like on stage or something... Agh... One episode was about choosing between going to Disneyland or staying home and doing a project this chick (she was dressed as a bird or something) had to do with a classmate and she starts singing "stuck between a rock and a hard place." Fuck, I want to go to Disneyland. AGH WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SHOW. Anyways, where was I... ANNUAL DINNER KICKED BOOTY.
GO GO AIESEC MICHIGAN 2005
Outgoing presidente! Li'er COME BACK I LOVE YOU!
Cool People
Me giving a speech? ZOMG.
Life gets to be so interesting at times. Right now I am contemplating the world, trying to forget about my 8 page term paper. There's just so much that must be done and so little time. It makes me hungry. Hungry to change the world! And actually hungry too.
Let me go grab some eats.
OK. Eats obtained.
Speaking of eats, I was at Leonardo's the other day, trying to stuff my face with food for the weekend and I overheard a couple of freshman talking about string theory. I would have chimed in, but honestly I was more concerned with Smashing Pumpkins 1979 coming over the headphones.
It's not that I dont care about those things anymore; I just decide to think about these things in the dark hours of the night, and focus my energy into the task at hand. At my task at hand was stuffing pizza in my mouth and tuning out on Pink Floyd. Ah, bliss.
Anyways I really don't know what I am talking about anymore and I am starting to enter a state of delerium. So I suppose that's cue to leave.
Oh, I wanted to say, I will update this once a week from now on. Promise. I SAID I PROMISE DAMMIT.

You know what I hear really calms things down? Salvia....mixed with some absinthe....and then pop a corona for kicks. Also, why does nick doray look like he's giving the 'hail hitler' wave in the picture? Not very aiesec....
