I really could use one in the “W” column. You know, just to boost morale.

Having a ton of stuff to do is a much more daunting task when sick. Normally I love feeling like I have too much on my plate, but right now I just want to fall asleep on my plate and stay there until my sinuses stop feeling like death.

Nate Ruess talked about how he wanted a song on Some Nights to sound like Graceland by Paul Simon and Power by Kanye West.
The fella just gets it.
I realized recently that I lost interest in school more and more the less my studies were based around political science. That’s a weird realization.
… makes a guy think.
Ten things I appreciate today.
A good cup of coffee
Playing guitar
Skipping classes
The Radick brothers.
Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography
My co-worker’s
LOST
Bike riding weather
Advances in science which have lead to preventing infections in wounds with relative ease
House shows
The sad thing is that I want to share these things with certain people in person, but I don’t have the opportunity.
I’m moving on from this. But that’s never been an easy thing. I’ve just relapsed recently. Really bad.
I kissed a girl goodnight on Monday, early Tuesday morning she said she’d changed her mind about Thursday, Tuesday night she changed it back, and...
For years I’ve thought of giving up and giving in as things I would not allow myself to do.
I’ve changed my mind recently. Or. My mind has been changed recently, at least.
So, I’m giving up on people I swore I’d never give up on, because they’re bad for me. Maybe they’re more good for me, and maybe I’ll regret it. I’m taking a chance. When I say...
Super Bowl Sunday has been one of the weirdest, most reflective days of my year every year for the past ten. That’s a decade. That’s crazy to think about.
When I was 14 on Super Bowl Sunday, I was alone with a girl I was dating when she tried to kill herself. Part of me thinks “this seems like too public of a place to talk about this”, but then I realize I tell this story...
I wish I knew what it took to truly convince yourself to completely cut someone out of your life. I’ve never been able to learn that.
I get bummed out sometimes. It just happens. So I want to take a minute to recount some things I’m thankful for in my life. - My band. This is seriously the only thing in my life that is always worth the stress. It’s so much work. It’s terrifying to pour myself into. But this is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever been involved in. - Dogs & cats. I wish I had one. But....

Sometimes it’s about winning the small battles with yourself. And not giving in to the easy way, and making sure that you’re living life the way you want to.
Oh, and mostly it’s about loving your life. And the past two days have reminded me that I do. And more and more the people who make an attempt to have me around remind me of why I’m able to even begin to define who I...
Sometimes I wonder how different my life would be if I believed in fate or God. I imagine I’d sleep better and worry less. To be able to believe deep down that every action had a purpose… I can’t imagine it. It makes sense with the way we treat the world, though. It’s so easy to set up binaries and let them define things for you. The easy way just doesn’t look much...
I’ve grown too used to being pretty good at stuff. So now when I’m not good at something, it feels shittier. For example : French. I’m currently enrolled in French 1010, and feel like an idiot. It’s so frustrating to be able to keep up without any issue in masters level classes in multiple fields and then go into a first year class and feel like I can’t keep up....

The more I care about a person, the more critical I am of them. I think that’s probably normal. I hope so. I think.
2011 saw the farewell of a lot of good Michigan music. I wonder which Michigan bands are going to call it quits this year. I kinda think I know a couple. Hm.
I don’t know much, but a crutch is a crutch if it’s holding you from moving on.
It sucks to be in love with a fictional character.
Beautiful, beautiful Ann.
