working hard at nothing

Wednesday, April 28th, 2004

romania 1-5 germany. a printing error, according to beckenbauer. but really, germany just got thrashed.

san marino 1-0 liechtenstein. first victory EVER for san marino. think about the feeling. here’s to more of that feeling. for everyone. it doesn’t have to come about from winning.

i should be in class right now but i think i should finish my essay before i show my face again. but today, for the first time in weeks, i felt a tinge of real motivation. i sat down in the library and worked my ass off.

everybody wants a piece of you, right? i hope not. i heard a really interesting thing today–friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. i hope that isn’t totally true. actually, i think the person i heard it from didn’t really believe it, because he proceeded to talk about a friend he had known for years from kyoto.

vince is jealous of our smashing.

this is the hardest game ever. we love you, roberto baggio. even though you missed horribly in a world cup final. UPDATE: it’s not as hard as it looks. scored twelve goals playing intermittently for two hours. the first time i played, it took me two hours just to score once. (maybe i should take this to heart in other matters. can’t be going around giving up so easily.)

i can’t take care of stuff. except people and other living things i hope. i just need to sit my arse down. i’m a bloody bitter bugger about myself at times.

put two people in the same situation and they will react totally differently. they will grow differently from it too. it’s rather beautiful too, the way flowers are, in more ways than one.

argh i bought a pair of pants today. at least they were cheap.

i could get trashed but i’d rather not. there will be plenty of time for that next weekend, and the weekend after that, and the weekend after that . . . then it’s time to go home! what the hell.

i’m one of those people who would ask “when will it start raining so i can go out and play?” this is in spite of the fact that rain is not required at all for playing.
