Insomnia
It’s true, that line from Fight Club:
With insomnia, nothing is real.
Everything is far away.
Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
I haven’t been able to sleep with any regularity for the past month. The days I do get to sleep are either when I don’t have to work and I’m up until [...]

Respiration
Some days I take the bus home, just to touch home… — Common
Two years ago this week my apartment burned down, depriving me of property and leaving me homeless for three weeks. One year ago this week I started a hunger strike which found me sleeping in a campus building and drinking nothing but [...]

They’ll let just about anyone into these things.
A few days ago, Bill brought the Midwest Republican Leadership Conference occurring in Indianapolis to the attention of us radical youths. A few of us pile into the car (with the necessary supplies, of course: banners, spray paint, and a respectable-looking suit) and make a b-line to [...]

Common – Finding Forever
I would write an exhaustive review of this album if I had some time to, but I just wanted to say that although “The Game” is promoted as one of the singles on this album, it sounds nothing like the rest of the tracks on Finding Forever. The album itself is light-hearted and whimsical, [...]

(Almost) End of Summer
What has been done? Um, well, I’ve gotten through my classes in a decent manner, and as of now, I’m a mere two classes, one quiz, and one final from having a BS in Mathematics. Yay to that. But let me tell you, summer classes are bullshit, and trying to keep up [...]

Theme Change!

Hope you like the change as much as I do.

Stomp and Clap
Last night at Downtown Records, there was a hip-hop show. I was there with all the CS “gangsters” in support of my man MC Plus+, a Purdue CS grad student who is keeping it real for all the CS majors in the struggle. Not to show Plus+ any disrespect, but the best act [...]

Nuance
This weekend, The Goek and I are going on a road trip to visit McNally Music School in the Twin Cities. It’s going to be a hell of a time going up north and seeing everything to be seen. I need that travel like I need food, man. I think it’s a [...]
