My MBTA arch nemesis is the E HEATH STREET.
You can kiss my ass you worthless cheat of a green line.
So here’s why…
At 10:30pm after psych lecture, when I’m beleaguered from an Arabic man talking at an usual volume (they always seem to yell no matter the conversation) about dendritic cells, I’m pretty eager to get home. Anyhoot, I’ve made a game of guessing (hoping) which train is coming by the time they’re parked at Arlington since you can see it if you look down the tunnel. I can easily make out the C and D trains because they have one line of text in the display…but then there’s that filthy fucking E train that gets me every time I think my smelly chariot is arriving to whisk me home.
HEATH STREET
BOSTON COLLEGE
yes? no? whatever they look same to me at a distance.
Call me crazy, whatever, but it’s horrendous! Standing in stinky ass copley square station that late having to people watch the most hideous grab bag of scags and waitstaff/valets going home from their sad existences that late.
Moving on – ON THE SAME NIGHT I was nearly run over by a drunk guy on a bike on the BU bridge, the fucking guy clips me with his tire before swerving into oncoming traffic. I can only assume he was an MIT student as he wasn’t wearing a helmet and I’m pretty sure he planned on driving into Magazine Park for the purposes of drowning himself in the Charles.
Loves it.
Aside my neuroses things remain pretty typical, I might take up excercising again (might) and I quit smoking next Monday or at least stop buying cigarettes. Also, I’m not going to write what you’re all wanting me to write about because I have things to figure out.
SO!

I finally took December off my wall last night, sweet jesus. Half-month lag? It was a crazy few weeks I suppose, I’m definitely looking forward to more low key events until spring.
I experimented by going to Nashua last weekend to see how weekends up there go, I wouldn’t mind spending more time up there as I got plenty of sleep and wasn’t overdrawn by Monday. Brian, Jennfo, Richard, Shayne and I had a pretty wild AFC Championship party and good times were had by all. I’m thinking it would be a good spot for the Super Bowl if Brian feels like hosting…love that heddy HDTV.
This week has been unexpectedly unforgiving. Work got busy out of no where and I have back to back days of class with a test and some bullshit outline due. Thursday should bring a nice feeling of relief, and then try to take it easy until Saturday for Nik’s 25th birthday shitshow.
I think things are slowly but surely falling into a more structured groove than before. The full classload routine has helped me appreciate quiet time at home more, and other social developments have made me appreciate quiet time other people more.
We’ll see how long it lasts ;)
Huckabee: Amend Constitution to be in ‘God’s standards’

The United States Constitution never uses the word “God” or makes mention of any religion, drawing its sole authority from “We the People.” However, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks it’s time to put an end to that.
“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
When Willie Geist reported Huckabee’s opinion on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host Mika Brzezinski was almost speechless, and even Joe Scarborough couldn’t immediately find much to say beyond calling it “interesting,”
Scarborough finally suggested that while he believes “evangelicals should be able to talk politics … some might find that statement very troubling, that we’re going to change the Constitution to be in line with the Bible. And that’s all I’m going to say.”
Geist further noted of Huckabee that if “someone without his charm,” said that, “he’d be dismissed as a crackpot, but he’s Mike Huckabee and he’s bascially the front-runner.”
Ahem, so…
Not for nothing, but my lame ass had a dream about Scotty last night – we won’t get into it.
I’m still grappling with this motivation thing, I feel kind of useless at
work not wanting to do anything. I mean, I don’t just sit here but I could be far more pro-active with things and just choose to waste time on espn or perez…oi. As odd as it seems I think being back in the swing of a full class load might help me pull my shit together, and obviously taming down my weekends… (hah!)
[Blah!]
I’m thinking about going to Nashua this weekend to get away from the city and watch the Championship on Brian’s rediculously large television, plus he could use the company. It’s a long weekend so I can compromise by staying on Friday night or coming home for Sunday and have a balanced weekend that won’t kill my bank account…I wonder if I can get any of the boys to come up for some NH shenanigans.
Probably not.
Spose I shouldn’t have written this entry at work if I really cared about being motivated, hah! Off I go…
Hmph.
Ugh I’m upset with myself…I have no motivation to do anything. I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing all day. It pains me to get up for work in the morning and don’t even talk about school…I’m having a serious mental block with caring about my responsibilities.
is this what being black is like?
sigh.
I’ll try to elaborate more tomorrow, but I don’t give a shit right now.

I’m seriously lacking with this update business!
Up until the middle of December I was still anticipating quite a shitty holiday season, and how wrong was I?
I think having the boys home had a lot to do with it, but also time off from school, work, and mixed with an unusual availability of time between all of the BWPC created this crazy storm of ridiculousness. Today is my first day of rest in nearly a week, by the time Brian and I woke up yesterday my body had fucking had it…I plan on getting as much sleep and drinking as much water as possible in the next few days.
Everything has been really good interpersonally, I’ve managed to not harbor any bitchy feelings over the holidays and kind of fix things for myself with Brian and start a new friendship with Niko’s Brian…who it turns out is a sweet kid with good intentions. I’ve been able to spend a good amount of time with Thomas which has had a lot to do with booting my mood and patience levels with everything.
I have the rest of this week off to rest before another crazy weekend (I’m sure) with the boys. Next week begins the new semester and the boys will pack up and head back to their schools, I’m not sad though…this time spent with them has (if nothing else) re-assured our love for each other and the strength of our bond. State borders haven’t done much in the way of hurting that. I’ll have a full class load when I go back on Monday which I’m not really stoked about but will get through it because there’s only 3 more months of bitter cold left before I can look forward to sleeping with my windows open at night and smelling spring in the morning again.
I think I’m gonna walk to Whole Foods and grab some vanilla cheesecake…I’ve got a craving like Paul and bad decisions.
