Sweet Jesus

Freedom is mine!!!

And so is a Master's degree as of 5/21.

mi madre

while i appreciate the sentiment behind posting photos of your mom on facebook, i don't think my mom would care much for it. my aunts and cousins would surely tell her i put a picture up of her on facebook. however, she doesn't know about my blog! so this one goes out to my momma, even though she can't see it. she's pretty much the best.


I cropped little Carl out of the picture because he sucks. Or because he's super cute and thus a distraction.

7:17 am, no sleep, still writing.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

super important updates

• i forgot how awesome black eyeliner is. i know! stupid me! i've been on a chocolate liner kick lately, but busted out ol' faithful for nostalgia's sake. uh... i remember why it's been an addiction for most of my adult life--shit's awesome, yo.
• so this is officially the last night i will be working on my Master's Report because, well, i don't actually have a choice. it's do or die, man. it's about 35 pgs of sheer fucking genius. okay, okay, it's about 35 pgs of mediocre academic writing. fun! excitement!
• while on the subject of my MA Report, can I just be a total nerd for a moment--shut up, i know you're thinking i'm a nerd all the moments--but, dude, footnotes are the best. look, i have to get my kicks where i can and, whilst writing the MA Report, footnotes are seriously about as good as it gets. sad, i know.
• i just realized i haven't slept since the night before last. seriously, i just realized this. i thought, "damn, why am i so tired?" and then i thought, "dude, you haven't slept in ages." ages, man, ages. what is this sleep of which you speak?
• yeah, my life sucks right now, but as of monday, may 9th, it's all over. then UT gives me money to spend my summer drinking beer and reading books poolside. mmm... beer... oh how i wish i could drink one right now.

Back to work! No sympathy for the devil!
