does anyone know where i can purchase a thick layer of skin? c'mon. everything can be bought these days.

eh so blogger...turns out there are flaws. did you know that you can't delete your blogger account if you want to? they say that you can just delete all of your posts and change your personal information to false information but who really wants to do that? there are a few other aspects about it that i do not like too so we'll see.

i can't believe i'm actually contemplating this.

anyway, i met a friend through a friend who listens to The Weepies and she has Hideaway, and when I asked her to email me the CD, she said "yes", so now I have Hideaway. Every song is gold. The Weepies are a close second to Death Cab.

 

i woke up around 9am, feeling good because i had the best night's sleep in a couple of days. so as i sat in my bed, thinking about all of the things i have to do today, i randomly made the decision that i was going to go to the rec and swim laps. i haven't swum laps in years so i figured 'what the heck.' i'm glad i did because it ended up being an excellent workout. i got out tired, but it was a good tired. my plan now is to be in the pool at least 3 times a week until i die. we'll see how that goes.

my english professor showed this to us yesterday:



i mean, it's pretty sad to say the least. but we have to keep in mind that most people are better than this.
the 2008 election is a little over a week away. can you believe it?
