From May to now; a new year.
I feel like I’ve had a whirlwind of emotions for the past…oh, 6 months that I haven’t even figured out how to express. I feel like I haven’t reflected on myself or my life or my emotions in about that long. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not in school and I don’t really feel mentally stimulated very often, or if I just haven’t really had...

“Everything I have loved has turned to stone.”
sad.
I feel like I’ve never had more reason to be completely happy with my life. But sometimes, I just feel so sad.
I miss my friends.
I miss not having to work to have friends.
I miss having a real life outside of work.
I miss not working full time.
I miss not having to do paperwork for 80% of my life.
I miss the Toast.
I miss not having student loans to pay. And health insurance. And car...

GLASS FIXED GEAR →
Our beloved Ben Orcutt! :]
p.s. good job, Andrew.
apquinn:
This is a short documentary I made about Ben Orcutt and his glass fixed gear.
Highlights
Today’s highlights:
-I dropped my phone in the toilet…after I peed in it. -I proceeded to throw my phone against the wall for 10-15 minutes in an attempt to get the battery out of my phone. It worked. -Going inside my clients’ home, unable to find the refugees but very able to find Fergie playing loudly in the house. -Watching an angsty high schooler make calls for me:

Ahhhh! Occupy Cincinnati!
The following statement was written by members of Occupy Cincinnati, a group of protesters who have been occupying Piatt Park Downtown, and was submitted to The Enquirer Thursday afternoon by Erik Crew, a spokesman for the group.
We are the members of Occupy Cincinnati, and we have been occupying this city’s public spaces for eight days as of Thursday. Why? Financial power has far too...
WatchI am officially obsessed with this movement.
This...is beautiful.
“Declaration of the Occupation of New York City”
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice, we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires...

Occupy Wall Street
Excerpt from one of the first “Occupy Wall Street” talks…
“The most exciting candidate that we’ve heard so far is one that gets at the core of why the American political establishment is currently unworthy of being called a democracy: we demand that Barack Obama ordain a Presidential Commission tasked with ending the influence money has over our representatives in...

We can add to my strange bodily ailments that I got bit by a dog this week, developed a yeast infection, and spilled my clients urine all over myself.
Oh, and a mom peed in my car 1 1/2 times this week.

One of the most terrifying storms I have ever... →
So, I went for a jog in the early evening last night. (I’ve been jogging mostly out of pure boredom and from feeling so lazy.) It had been sprinkling on and off all day, so I thought, no big deeeal. OH WAIT, YES, IT WAS A BIG DEAL. I was running in Central Park, about to start my run home, and lightning literally struck down next to me. I screamed for dear life and took off sprinting, and...
lists.
Boy, there’s a lot to say.
Things I like about my apartment/living alone:
-No roommates (haha) -Walking around in my underwear whenever I want -Eating meals in my underwear -Underwear -I can turn my record player up as loud as I want -It’s so close that I come home and make lunch every day instead of packing it -I park in the same spot for home and work -There’s a ledge outside...

AU
Okay, so my pastor’s daughter (who is like a little sister to me) is coming to AU as a freshman this year. She asked for as much advice as possible and this is what I came up with: ”Know that the friends that you have first semester are going to seem totally weird and random to you by the time you graduate. And know that your friend group will be changing/growing and that each year...

grapes.
I just have to make note of this: I put a bowl of grapes by my bed to snack on and forgot about them, so when I just got up to go to the bathroom, I stepped directly in the bowl and grapes went everywhere. I laughed and cried (mostly because I’m already lonely and emotional and Micah pissed me off tonight for the first time in a long time). But I could still see that it was really funny and...
Simon and Garfunkel - "Homeward Bound"
I’ve been relating to this song a lot lately… I’m sittin’ in the railway station Got a ticket for my destination On a tour of one night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home, where my thought’s escaping Home, where my music’s playing Home,...
eated it.
I’ve been re-thinking if I want to continue being vegetarian or not, which I’ll probably go more in depth about at a later time. BUT. Today, Micah and I made potatoes, green beans, and chicken teriyaki….and WE EATED IT.
