Live Paradox

A journeyman’s ramblings: He is no everyman, but one who turns a carefully focused eye on the events of the madcap world around him. He aims to point out what others miss and draw attention to the patterns that exist amongst the chaos.

3:00 PM -

WAG - Geez life is weird. My three hour weekly desk shift invariably leeds me to the same conclusion everyweek. Shifting through my stack of papers (The Columbia Missourian, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and The Maneater [the campus student papers for you non-Columbians]) and my list of online news sites (CNN, Reuters, Rushlimbaugh, Doonesbury, just to name a few) always causes me to believe the world is going mad and I should spend my time at the desk doing something more productive.

Of course, this realization comes with approximately 45-35 minutes to go (almost like clockwork), and that usually isn't enough time to do much of anything before I head off to band at 4:00. So I usually go through online comics or return to the cursed news pages to see what updates I'd missed in the last 30 minutes...sigh...

I sit before this computer screen a tired, strung-out news junkie. There, I feel better.

My pledge to go till Thanksgiving without any new influx in funds is in jeopardy. I currently have 9 bucks, plus a few random coins in my wallet. I've even raided the coin purse I have when it was time to do laundry this weekend. I had $11 before lunch, but Mo Rocca, a quasi-pundit for Comedy Central's The Daily Show is coming to Mizzou Thursday night, and the tickets were just $2 for students. I'm sure those of you with competent math skills can guess what I did in a moment of weakness.

Nine bucks and Harry Potter II opens this weekend.

Did I mention the canned-food pledge drive that's going on the dorm?

I'm not in any danger of overdrawing my bank account, but it's the principle of the thing that has me upset right now... especially when I know what the final result will be...

Curse you Daniel Radcliffe*!

*But only after the rest of the movies are made, of course.

Oh the sufferings a pop-culture fanatic must go through.

All this, and I've been asked to join the Mizzou chapter of The Dan Yankees Athletic Club. For you Sullivan people out there, I'll let you ponder the gravity of this situation...

Yep!

My life is nothing, if not always interesting.

Cool!
