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.

WAG - Evaluating the Current Condition


Initial analysis: I'm still here. I'm still running.

Listing details:

Life has stayed crazy, but what else is new.

I now have the Indiana Jones box collection, a key chain that reads "Got Ink," and a gallon of milk. One has been perused, one has been sampled, and one has been attached to my billfold. I’ll leave it up to you all to determine what happened to which.

My inflatable T-Rex has stayed propped up in the corner without having to be re-inflated since Saturday, which is a new personal record. No comment on the inflatable Scooby Doo however.

I have 4 tests over the course of the next week. Yes I am studying for all of them.

I have two football games to play at this weekend: MU's homecoming match up and a halftime show for the Kansas City Chiefs (7-0!).

The local snack bar has added Strawberry Passion to its selection of Minute Maid juices (and I have added Strawberry Passion to my selection in my refrigerator).

My watch brand broke - an anomaly for the clock mechanism usually breaks (due to exposure to water or inadvertent contact with hard surfaces at high velocities) before the band wears down.

I finished the novel "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr after belated starting it 3 weeks ago after purchasing it during Spring Break March 2003.

I bloodied my knees in band practice during a traditional stacking (“dog piling,” “pile-up,” whatever) of a birthday boy (or girl) at the end of band practice. I was the first person to jump the trumpet professor; making me second in a stack of roughly a dozen people. And there are some BIG trumpets. While washing up with peroxide, I calmed my nerves by singing along to "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger.

I finally got to watch my Gilmore Girls after only an 18-hour delay.

I think I figured out another birthday gift for Jessie (her birthday is at the start of December, but it’s never too early to start looking for presents – especially for members of the Y-chromosome bunch like me).

I’ve almost worked my way through the top, neon pink layer of my 5-color post-it note block and am soon to enter the yellow phase.

I bought 3 new gel pins but have yet to create any temporary tattoos.

Enjoying a meal of Lipton’s Chicken Parmesan Rice – as cooked and prepared by yourself – and reading back entries of the Wall Street Journal Op-Ed page is definitely an experience to be savored (both the opinions and the entrée).

I can still write a post about nothing, but still take up a respectable amount of space.

Final Conclusion: Life is nuts… and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
