11:34 pm	The Last Temptation of Agent Smecker So, kinda hard to pay off your debts and earn money over the summer when your two jobs are offering you a whopping twelve hours of combined work a week. I'd be happier about it if the pool were open at the country club, but for the time being my daily options are to go to the gym, write at my Dad's apartment, or sit on my ass at home. Time for the rant of the day: Seriously, why the fuck do people not understand that The Da Vinci Code is a FICTIONAL book? Half of Christendom right now is planning a boycott for blasphemy and the other half is up in arms with what the church has been keeping from them. Indiana Jones never got this kind of reaction and he threatened to blow up the Ark of the Covenant. And the blasphemy of the day is: If there is a church cover up, it's not that Jesus was married, but that he was gay. Yes you heard it here, there's a decent chance that our lord and savior was homosexual. Think about it, there's no mention of him ever getting married, and in those times being thirty and a bachelor was very uncommon. He hung around a bunch of guys all the time and was always telling men how he loved them. Mary Magdalene? Total fag-hag, seriously, if Jesus were gonna marry anybody, do you think it'd be a reformed whore? And that kiss with Judas, that was a little more than metro. Also, Jesus sandals: pretty gay. Namesake of said gay sandals: Jesus. 'Nuff said. I wonder if I'm the first person to posit this theory. That would be kinda cool. While I'm on the topic, isn't the entire right-wing hate of homosexuality based around the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? The whole thing there is that the people of Sodom are sex crazy, and try and talk Lot into letting them have sex with the Angels that visit him. So, first off, it could have been lady angels, sexy lady angels. Also, they were angels, not humans, so Sodomy is not in fact sex in the ass, but trans-species sex, and I think about 99% of us can agree that bestiality is pretty messed up. Also what did Gomorrah do to deserve its destruction anyway? Somewhere out there I bet there's a lost history of a once great city of Vegans. Did you know that's what started the whole Cain and Able thing? God liked Able better because he raised a herd instead of crops. See what happens when I have too much time on my hands? Guess I'll just sit back and wait for people to get my subject header. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

9:58 pm	Alrighty then, I'm back in Asheville for the summer and hopefully I'll remember to actually update this thing on a regular basis. Currently my room is a disaster area while all the things from my dorm room are waiting to find a place here. So right now I'm naturally distracting myself from getting any work done on the organizational front. The plan for the summer is to work as much as humanly possible and spend the rest of my time writing/reading/getting fighting fit for rugby. Distractions from said curriculum via visitations and libations are of course hardily welcome all summer long. FYI - Enter the Haggis is in town May 19th, and Blues Traveler will be at the Orange Peel on June 3rd. Bele Chere will be of ass-kicking proportions this year as Train will be headlining (Not to mention a certain Rugby sevens tournament). That's about it for now, back to the unpacking and whatnot.

6:29 pm	So my alarm was supposed to go off at 4 this morning so I could get up and knock out a rough draft for a story for boyer's class, instead it doesn't go off at all and I wake up at 7:30 with just enough time to get dressed for my first class. Fortunately, Boyer is the absolute slackest professor in the department and so when I got to class I found that only Bessie had actually gotten a story posted so far. I now have the whole weekend to get it done, which is good, because like a true Ashevillian I seemed to have developed Thomas Wolfe syndrome, and my stories are going on forever. I think novels are more likely gonna be my thing once I get out of school. Oh well, at least I'm not obsessing over the past in all of them. And now off to see my mother be a piece of mountain heritage Current Mood: lethargic (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:33 pm	Captain's Log, Stardate 020120062233 So......... I feel like I ought to write something really important/monumental for my first entry but really I'm just avoiding writing a story right now. Isn't that brilliant? I'm a writer that doesn't like to write, and I'll write to avoid writing. Don't get me wrong, I like coming up with themes and plots and whatnot, and I love having written a piece (cause that's when the kudos come and pat you on the back and tell you how awesome you are for being so creative and imaginative and original...mind you that's my experience, they might tell you that you suck, I don't know how you write. I'm hoping that keeping a journal online will work better than keeping one in an actual journal, because I'd always forget to take the damned thing with me and then when I had it on me I'd rather be watching movies... you get the idea. some people like to think about it as being lazy, but I look at it in the way that modern physical trainers are talking about working out, short bursts of intensity. When the pressure's on, I can get a shitload of stuff done, and it'll be fantastic work, but the rest of the time I spend in rest. I also like the concept of a journal that's so very public, as I'm a big fan of upfront honesty, despite being so repeatedly labeled as closed and mysterious (it's just that I like to take advantage of opportunities to shut up whenever I get them). so there you have it, this is my story and I hope to stick to it.
