Five Things for Monday Night.
1. Chicago thunderstorms are made of awesome. Not that I don't love other thunderstorms! But, dude, I totally have a balcony now, and can sit on it and watch the sky turn into an enormous strobe light.
1a. Orange skies, man. When did I get used to so much reflected light?
1b. If I have a religion, I'm pretty sure it's thunderstorms.
2. Why do I insist in majoring in something that hurts me so much?
2a. More specifically, syntax. Why does syntax have to exist? Why does it have to cause me so much pain? Why do I have to do homework on it?
2b. Most importantly, why is syntax so much like math?
2c. The hell of it, of course, is that it wouldn't be nearly so satisfying if it didn't BURN LIKE FURY to do in the first place. And I actually liked math! back when, you know, I could still do it.
3. I fail at bodies. Or possibly my body fails at me.
4. I believe two things.
4a. There is truth out there. I don't care if we know it - I don't even care if we ever know it. It's enough, for me, to believe that on some level, this all makes sense.
4b. Improvement is always possible. Improvement is, in fact, inevitable. People are basically good.
4c. People are also basically shitheads. Life's funny like that.
4d. Aw, fuck. I'm an optimist.
5. I'm totally going to bed before midnight. I WIN. Goodnight, all: I love you. No, really. Enjoy it while it lasts.
