i have come to the decision that my english class insults my intelligence. the kids in my class are obviously taking it for reasons similar to mine, a requirement towards a loftier goal. in our way is one thing, professor ritchey. he mumbles and he talks to himself instead of lecturing to us. we strain during the entire 75 minutes to hear what he's saying because he only speaks at a volume that the person directly next to him can really hear. he goes off on tangents about his wife, plays, or his schooling for 10-15-20 minutes sometimes. totally bizarre. he also sits the entire class. if we were in a lecture hall, it wouldn't be so bad, but we aren't.

he is the human equivalent of a tortoise. he even resembles one.

**thank you, stacy, for pointing out my "here" instead of "hear" in one sentence. i obviously need to be in this class.

a day well spent

cap backwards.

yesterday was dreary and grey. normal people would get depressed over this, but not me. there are some sights that are best seen in this sort of weather. sights like the boardwalks, abandoned in the wintertime and completely desolate looking. i ended up shooting a bit at asbury park boardwalk, which is either completely torn down or close to it. eminent domain has taken over down by the water and blank spaces are everywhere. it is really sad. i googled asbury park to see if i could find pictures of what it used to be like - and it used to be glorious.

urban decay is so beautiful. i hate that the american way is to tear down the old and put new in. you forget your roots that way.

save our roots, people. they're all we've got.

Sometimes you just want to be anonymous.

there are a few pairs of jeans i am hanging onto i will never fit into again.

some that i don't want to. when i fit in them i wasn't eating and going through a really bad time.

others, well, happiness has brought back my appetite. :) time to hit the gym again.

either way, i am just uncomfortable in everything as of late.

a few things.

yes, i haven't blogged in awhile.

san fran was awesome. jen was a great host and i really enjoyed it there. i wouldn't mind living there, but we all know donut isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

school started this past monday. the kids are idiots. i didn't really expect much else. uggz and fur trimmed parkas galore. oh well.

tomorrow we are supposed to go to ellis island. i've never seen the statue before, so hopefully it will be nice out so i can get some good pictures.

more boring blog post ever.

nyc birthday party

technically, my birthday isn't until next Wednesday, but i had a party last night in NYC with friends.

a great party. pleasantly drunk, lots of laughs, and some dancing on the bar.

can't ask for any more than that, can you.

oprah and evil

is oprah really that evil? i mean, i really can't think of anyone or thing she has really hurt in her climb to fame and fortune. she is a totally rich black woman, which was unheard of, really, even 50 years ago.

i like her book club. i do not know if oprah is the sole book selector in the deal, but the books and authors chosen are often quite good. if anything, i see oprah as a way to get the public to read more. anything, in all honesty, that gets people to read more is totally supported by me. midamerican housewives are gullible and easily influenced, why not influence them into reading?

oprah brings to light a lot of authors that the public otherwise may not get to see or hear about.

so, i guess i don't see the bad part?

7 months

today, 7 months.

sometimes i wonder how i got this far without killing him and sometimes i wonder how i am still alive.

the road is rocky, but it is mostly rocky road.. if you know what i mean.
