Thoughts of the Day
I feel strangely at peace when I see two gray-haired old friends talk as they walk down the street or sit in a coffee shop. I like to imagine what they're talking about- golf? grandkids? killing fascists in the War?
Like many guys in their 20s, I don't really care to live to a ripe old age- but if I do, shooting the breeze with other fellow jeriatrics would be good times indeed.

When babies cry (and when I say cry, I mean the wailing and screaming kind), I'm reminded of slasher films. If you're an adult and you sound like a distraught toddler, squealing as loud as stuck pig, chances are you're in the midst of a horrible, horrible death.

How I know we're heading for a recession - I was riding the bus through Huntington Beach, and at every stop, there were groups of blonde, tanned, OC girls boarding public transportation with their designer bags and sunglasses. $5 dollar a gallon gas coming soon to a station near you.
---
Speaking of gas, I think high prices at the pump are actually a blessing in disguise- it forces businesses to pursue new, innovative ways of utilizing alternative energy sources, which would undoubtedly create new jobs for both blue and white collar workers.
After all, American ingenuity in science and technology is how we got to be el primero en el mundo in the first place.

It's easy to make excuses for yourself if you don't have legitimate answers. For instance, whenever people asked me why I wasn't dating (especially in high school), I would respond, "I don't have any money!" or "I want to keep my money!"
For one, I was full of it, and people "in the know" knew it right away. On top of that, my answer is sort of self-defeating; if I was that concerned about money, I don't deserve to be in a relationship in the first place.
Now when people ask me this question, I simply reply,
"I'm a college student in LA- why would I want to be in a relationship?"

And lastly,
Boston sucks.
