This time of year I get worst case of spring fever ever. It's like I'm going through Pon Farr. I can't stop thinking about sex and cuddling and romance and cuddly romantic sex. Suddenly, the idea of falling in love doesn't seem so naive to me any more. I think I need to find a girl that also has spring fever.

The other day I just barely missed talking to one of the guys from Bright Eyes at the guitar shop in Benson. I was hoping to talk my way into free tickets, oh well. John is friends with Connor so I may get to meet him someday. I think his music is ok, but I mostly think some connections to some moderately famous musicians would...

I need to go to bed and stuff. Goodbye SG.

Do people ever act in a way that really bothers you even though it shouldn't? Anyway I was talking to a cashier at the wretched world-dominating empire I used to work at. I explained to her how I am kinda-sorta related to Connor Oberst and I complemented the dye job on her hair. When she was done checking me out she was like "O.K., talk...

I just drank a bottle of Fat Tire and it was delicious. This is the first time I have ever enjoyed beer. I must just be too sophisticated for Miller and Budweiser!

Yesterday I tuned my first piano for pay and I got a check for 50 bucks. I'll eventually charge 75 like everyone else in town after I get more experience. I think I did a decent job for a beginner. It took me about four hours so I really need to work on speeding up.

In other news, I food an old Jimi Hendrix cassette...

I accomplished a lot today for once. I got a hair cut, fixed the turn signal on my car and did some grocery shopping. Then, I totally cleaned my apartment. Not just clean, but sparkling, Felix Unger from the Odd Couple clean. Finally, I finished a chapter in my piano technician correspondence course. What's funny is that I am a chronic procrastinator, I often spend...

I don't understand. To find out about DBM's friend Patrick, and then Benni just hurts, even though I know neither of them personally. It reminds me of when my mom told me that dad had died when I was twelve. It was like a lead weight was dropped into my stomach. And I felt that same feeling, that fateful day in homeroom when I found...

nevermind.

Today in my digital syntheses class, my professor said the composition I made for my midterm was slightly boring. It really sort of upset me. But, another student, Erica, said it sounded like the music for Legend of Zelda. I think that's a compliment!

Solomon once said that all is in vain, like chasing the wind. But, not only is everything meaningless, it is also absurd. It's absurd that genocide is being committed in sudan and it's also absurd that a tsunami can kill millions of people. I exist now, but someday I will not, and this boggles my mind. Yet, it is in the absurd that people find...

The weather was so nice today. I went on a bike ride and it felt so good and so free, like flying. I hope it stays this way so I can go fishing with my friend Jacob. It was also the first day of my spring audio class. I'm excited about it but it will probably be a lot of stuff I already know.
