Chapter 3

I'm trying to stay motivated to write in this. I never understood when people had toys they didn't play with, or records they didn't listen to. I don't have anything cool or observational to use to build up to an anti-climax. No one died, I guess. Today is a journal day.

I'm listening to a lot of music lately. My girlfriend is still out of the country, if only technically at this point. I've been making up for that by doing a ton of sit-ups, and focusing more on listening to good music. I listened to Crack the Skye, this time with more intent, as per a good friend of mine's request. There totally is some merit in an entire Prog-metal album about Rasputin followers in space and time travel. The newest Darkest Hour came out recently. It's called The Eternal Return, and I had high hopes for it. Sadly, it chose to go work at the mall and thwarted all my hopes for it going to an Ivy League school. I supposed the die-hard fan base will appreciate it. I still have Deliver us.

I've also gone back to drawing to fill time. I used to draw things that meant something, but that began feeling contrived. I just do portraits now. But I don't have models. So I just draw people's facebook pictures. I've already drawn my friend Ryan, and my friend Ben. I don't know who else to draw, really. I'll keep looking. Maybe I'll draw Rasputin --- if he has a Facebook.

Right now, I'm waiting on Brian to wake up so we can go to the gym. I'm always waiting on someone; or at least that's what my grandma says. Apparently, most of my life is spent waiting on people. I don't mind it I guess.

I'm very excited about something. There's a new person in my life --- and its a girl. Don't worry. Its not what you're thinking, I promise. I've got this girlfriend, see? I don't rightly know where she's at right now, but she's definately somewhere. This new person though... Man am I ever excited to see her. I'm trying not to jinx it though.
