I scan the street again as I ease my weapon back into its still-warm bed under the back of my jacket. The smell of gunpowder is still fresh in my nostrils, a scent that always perks me up and makes me smile just a little inside.

I ponder my surroundings for variables that might enter into the cleaning-up of this situation. I'm downtown, surrounded by...

Another late night at work, but they always were. I down my last scotch and catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror behind the bar. My face is expresionless and ragged, barely containing my eyes which resemble shattered marbles held together with red paste.

I watch my boss through the mirror. He's slowly making his way from his usual corner booth with tonight's playthings,...

Now here he was, mere moments away from the capitol with nothing but bad intentions, and no radar detection warnings, no missle locks, nothing. He was just out for an afternoon stroll at a brisk 500-plus mile per hour pace, his walking stick in his right hand and an armed missle tucked under his left arm, ready to smile a great big toothy smile at...

By now his brethren had caused enough havoc on the east coast to buy him time for at least one clean shot. Fighters were scrambled after the first impact to prevent further incident, but there was going to be one more.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Sorry I've been away, just wrapped up the semester and moved over the past few weeks, and I'm still trying to get everything sorted out.

Well, I missed my chance with the girl I wrote about previously since she's seeing someone now. I suppose that's a stupid thing to say. Had she been interested in me in the same way this wouldn't have happened.

Anyhow, at least she got me involved in some things at school before we drifted in different directions. The short story I submitted for the school's...

Something I've mulled over for quite some time, but could never quite make the change and jump into with both feet, is vegeterianism. Well, thanks to my Animals and Ethics class this semester, I didn't jump in feet first, I went in head first. The major factor in my sudden change of heart is enlightenment.

Until doing some reading and research for class, I had...

Although I'm agnostic, fate is something I still believe in. Not so much in that there's 'someone' up there pulling strings and controlling our destinies, but moreso as a label for the way things go in life. Ponder sometime about how every little thing you do in life can have an effect on so many others. Something so seemingly insignificant to you can ebb throughout...

Is it better to be a king among boys, or a peasant among men?

So school starts back up on Monday, which means ganja break!

Yeah, weekends at most for a while. Not a bad thing really, just a thing I guess. Business before stupidity.

Speaking of school, I'm anxious to get rolling again. I'll have my requirements for my BA in History done this summer, and my BA in Philosophy next May ... then it's on to TAP...
