short post

i've been having alot of fun over the last two weeks of school. it's good to be back, but it's a little hectic. although my classes aren't hard, there are 5 of them. I've learned over this short period that while i was gone DU has decided that they want to become a legit school (one that makes their students work harder...er, longer hours). kinda lame. stuff that would usually take less time has now been lengthened so studying is less strenuous but daily activities and classwork/homework is more tedious. tonight, i have, because of a few possibly uncontrollable circumstances, alot to do that has not been started yet. 3 of my 4 classes have stuff due. I'm not thrilled about this because in 2 of those 3 the work is long and terribly pointless to life. i kinda like the grad-school mentality of 1 or 2 tests and a project better than homework due every class. it seems like i'm back in highschool after a repose of 3 years. bummed.

regardless, i've experimented with the downtown scene a little bit more thanks to my friends from the fixed gear community namely jason. if i haven't told you about my awesome weekend a while back, get me to tell you about it. it involved getting a bunch of free stuff and having a great time doing it.

last night i went to the highlands tavern for a few beers and then went to the shag lounge and the ginn mill (all downtown). i saw mfm at the shag lounge and said whats up to him. super cool. he has some of the best style and i believe he has pushed snowboarding towards a more expressive and skate-influenced state over his career. he's a business man that has pulled himself out the city and potentially gang-filled lifestyle toward which he was headed. bref: cool ass dude.

i've also never had a fight with a girl until now. it was brought about by the reverse of anything i have been involved with in the past. she likes me more than i like her, simple. i didn't/still don't know how to deal with this and i'm having to learn as i go. not that i really want to to be honest. me not wanting to burn a bridge has led to a few long nights that culminated in friday where i had the first verbal fight that i've ever had with someone. i know the remedy but i don't want to take the pill. lame.

anyway, i have a bunch of music that i want to post but as i am slammed with work i don't have time to put it up. so i'll throw a song up that mellowed me out and gave me butterflies tonight while starting my econ. it led me to want to post this and so i think you should hear it.

Lake Heartbeat - Mystery


so i hope you enjoy that one as much as i do and i hope it makes you feel as uncomfortable as it makes me feel.

i've had great conversations as of late with a variety of people leading to more knowledge and more ability to comprehend others' situations. i like it.
good night.
