| I haven't had a good week so far. I have:
1. Crashed my car.
2. Am subsequently a little low on money.
3. Am riding a bike(bicycle) everywhere.
4. Am to unimaginative to think up a list from 1-10
b. I must not be very intelligent. I decided it would be a good idea to go out to the store at 10:30 to get food. No lights. Motorcycle gear. :) It made me feel safe anyways to have a textile jacket and helmet anyways. I ignored the odd looks I got while pulling up on a Schwinn.
It must have been something like this.
They see me rollin, they hatin.
Anyways I'll be in contact.

| Finally relief is in sight. I have three more days until I'm off for Spring Break, which will make for a nice reprieve. Except for the test that I forgot about on Friday. Whoops. I really should be studying for it now, but honestly, I can't muster the determination to do it when it still a few days away. I'm too lazy. Character flaw I guess.
I sort of want to go somewhere for spring break, but I'm not into partying, and can't afford to go on a snowboarding trip, so I guess I'm stuck here in College Station. I'm just going to make a drink with ice in it and call it as good as I'm going to get.
SV650 is in the future.  I'm hoping to have it in my possession by the summer, and actually plan on taking a nice month or so of alone time with it. I'm planning on traveling up to Colorado to see my brother for a day or two, then its off to God-knows where. I guess I'll go north and finally end up somewhere around Montana or something, and see Yellowstone National Park. It won't be too expensive if I bring stuff with which to camp out in, and don't act like too much of a hooligan. So if you don't hear from me for a period after that, I'm probably lost in the middle of Idaho or something. I guess I can always dazzle the inhabitants by constructing potato powered lights to get gas money and lodging.
So, so, so. What else is new in the life of James? Oh, I'll be in the Abilene/Denton(I'm not yet sure which) area in the end of April. Just there for a day or so with a couple friends, but if I bring my car, I may swing into Arlington and see whats going on with you guys.
Ummm, I'm currently inspired by Tengen Teppa Gurren Laggann as stupid as it sounds.

"Throw away your logic and kick reason to the curb!" Pretty damn manly isn't it? I'm properly inspired to strive for greatness and tear asunder the heavens. Or something. I don't know what he was trying to say there, but it sounds cool.
Current mood: Optimistic , (and weird) | | |
| I can't see this improving relations at all between us.

Certainly no case of friendly fire. Unfriendly perhaps, at the cost of my being ridiculously obvious.
Firstly. He got taken alive how? All I know is that if a supposed ally took advantage of an enemy attack to mow down two of my comrades, I'd be ensuring he didn't make it out alive. Frankly I'm surprised that the rest of the US patrol didn't give the Iraqi an on the spot ballistic retirement.
Now get this. He claims he shot because the servicemen were beating a pregnant woman. While on patrol. In a VEHICLE. I'm hardly an expert in the field of beating women, but I myself find it damn hard to do it while driving around. Perhaps my pimp hand is simply not strong enough.
Now its not unheard of.It has happened before, on numerous occasions. The last time it happened that I can recall hearing about, was in Afghanistan, where an Afghan trainee shot and killed his American instructor: The rest of the trainees made sure that the first never made it off the line alive.
Oddly enough, only Iraqi and other Arabic media are currently running the beating story which appears to have come via a local third party organisation.

| Kill me. Seriously. I'm not ready to take these finals. I have them all over 2 days, and have 6 papers to write before them as well.
So it looks something like this:
Thursday: Write 5 Psychology Essays
Friday: Finish 8 page English essay
Saturday: Study for cumulative Geography Final
Sunday: Psychology and PoliSci studying
Monday: Curl into fetal ball; stay there the whole day
...Curently the only thing thats keeping me gonig s listening to power metal. Somehow the chaos of Dragnofroce keeps me focused. Go figure.
I got registered for my new courses, and they aren't o interesting, but I did at least get a good schedule again.

| Yeah it has been. Let me recap:
Went over to a friend's house, chilled, worked on a project for about 4 hours. Nothing too good, and I have a test tomorrow. On the way home, I'm speeding, and thinking about how quaint it would be to get pulled over since I have stuff I shouldn't in the back seat. Not ten seconds after that though, I go past a cop car doing maybe 12-13 mph over the limit. He turns out, I use my ub3r l337 4 cylinder power to get away. Evade him for about 10 minutes. Yay, no ticket.Chalk one up for being a ninja.
I broke my key off in the lock today. So I can't really get the door locked now.
I just got home a little while ago. Talk to one of my room/housemates. She just got out of the shower. Ask her to make a new key, she says fine, but needs to find it as she's quite sloshed. Makes a comment in passing about her ex driving her home. Uh-oh. Whatever. I walk my dog, same as normal. Go back, take a smoke. I hear something that for some reason really disturbs me more than it should. The sound of crying. I don't know what it is about a woman crying that bothers me. Something about wearing your emotions so openly, its kind of alien to me. Sure, I laugh whatever. But I do try to internalize anything deep(Yeah like that happens alot). So anyways, I'm off to go try and be nice in a way that doesn't make me(or her) feel like i'm taking advantage of vulnerabilities. And she's hot... Just how I wanted to end my night.
