i had intended to say something profound
but i'm all drained of inspiration...
i'm at work and wondering...
wandering
flundering
blundering
i'm playing they rhyme game from the princess bride a lot latelly...and reading lotsa graphic novels too, tho i don't have to buy them cuz i just order them through the library...
i think i ordered v for vendetta, but i can never tell...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
oh dear o h de a ar
what a waaaa a st tte of space
spaaaaaaaccssssssseeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiioooooouuuuuuuuuuu
wow, i'm bored to tears with my life
yet it's rather overwhelming
i have to decide whether to go to um over teh summer for language learning, tho i haven't any funding....so it's looking less and less possible...plus i can work for money if i stay in bton over the usmmer
which almost outweighs the ick that is indiana in the summer time
ugh
and i have to figure out what my thesis committee/topicc are....and other things
but i realized i can't let it get me down
...
okay, here's something i realized:
everyone is trying to impress how very dire the situation is, how much i need to commit to their field, to this to that to marriage to kids to lame to dumb to being irritating
because they ahve already committed themsleves
and not only do i hold the power of potentiality, i also demonstrate a disagreemtn and implicit critcism of their lifechoices/style by choosing to do something else
when they know i'm intellignt, and cooler than them
hm
they know i'm cool so they hate me
therein is logic
and junk
tho it sounds ruther vain
somtimes i wish i was british or irish so i speak in an accent to myself an dunder my breath....
Bienvenue
The moon shines down upon an open field, while you walk on the bare, crumbling cement of the path. The trees are welcoming but dark, and the night feels no place to wander.

Hey man! Howzit goin'? Way to fix the comments part :)
It'll be alright. I know you'll choose the right thing ebcause it would be hard for you to choose the wrong thing.
You've got an odd sort of cleverness so that whatever you choose will be exactly like you.
Like if you choose to make a thesis on somehting completely random and get your doctret in accounting? That would be really weird, but there's no stopping that you'd still wear cool patterned shirts and read comics and be cooler than the other accountants.
And imagine how very interesting and hard working your kids would be if you raised them to care and make a difference!
But you won't do these things, becuase you're YOU and that means that you'll choose something else and do THAT in the way that you do.
I say don't worry.
Make yourself happy, make a difference in the world. Tell people how many people they kill in other countries with the kids that they have. It'll be cool.
You may not make eeryone care as much as you, but you'll make them think about it for a few seconds, and you'll make them a little bit better no matter what.
You'll be alright! Get motivated!
actually, not having kids is just going to, well not kill, but do some shifting of the racial/cultural landscape here...

I also think you might want to question the merely superficial irony that accompanies your use of the term 'cool' and the implications thereof --
And, you know, it's nice to have things to do, especially if they promise to lead to other things, and so on. Which can be a bit of work to arrange, but it does tend to help with the existential dilemmas.
V for Vendetta...hmmmmmm...this upcoming movie is highly suspect to me. But the comic is quite good!
