Yeah, its been awhile

I know, I know, its been a long time since my last post. Under normal circumstances that'd mean a long fucking post with lots of recounting. I'll give you the short recap:

Rush...it happened and it worked. Jeremy Brook and Adam Cohen helped the chapter rock out with its cock out. We pounded the pavement, knocked on doors, and got the bids. After 2 solid weeks of not having any life of my own, I accomplished part of my goal. I'm still missing the two bids from last semester, but fuck if I know what to do about that situation. There might be a mid-semester Rush, but I don't really know yet. Its now out of my hands and in the hands of Brian Palay. Ahh a new semester: rushes become bids become pledges become brothers.

Washington DC...the trip was interesting in oh so many ways. Seeing the kids of Temple Israel again made me wish I didn't have to resign. I got to do the one thing I loved about being a youth advisor for a whole weekend. The kids were great in all ways. They lobbied well, they spoke eloquently, and made their voices heard. I was so proud of them. On my own personal front, I didn't get to see Bonnie, Leah, or Lindsey, which was kind of disappointing to me. I wasn't so much disappointed in them as the situation. I'm not sure when I will be able to see them again.

So know I'm trying to put my life back together. Hopefully I'll be able to dig myself out of the hole of schoolwork I seem to have before me.

That's all for now...another post to follow tomorrow.

Silence

Today someone reminded me that I often look like I have something to say but remain silent.

I should have known when she didn't want to see me when she got back. Should have known from her tone. Should have said right away how bad I'd fucked up. But as she reminded me I look like I might say it, but I don't.

I'm not quite sure when it happened, but I seem to have no one to talk to right now. Seems as if silence is my friend. For those of you who want to know, its a shitty friend.

Here we go again

Its 2:07 am on January 17th. I should be fast asleep right now, and yet I cannot seem to find slumber. My mind drifts and wanders from thought to thought, confusing me and stealing the sleep from my eyes. I cannot seem to find solace in anything.

Why do I sit awake at night? What do I ponder during these long and seemingly endless hours?

I'm not entirely sure of the answers to these questions. I know that of all the people in the world I should know my own thoughts best, but I do not. Life seems to be rushing forward and I'm not sure where I fit into it all.

Maybe one day I'll be able to fall asleep when I want to, but apparently that day is not today.

Been a long time

So its been awhile since I posted so here goes.

Over the last few weeks I've done very little of actual consequence. Josh and I have been hanging out a lot. I've been to shabbos dinner at the Greenberg house 2 times in a row. Good food, good times, and good shabbos.

I'm excited for school to start up again tomorrow. I've got a pretty good schedule for this semester. No classes before 10:00 am and all my classes are either in Nichelson or Folwell. That means never more than a 5 minute walk.

So not a whole lot going on, but hopefully more interesting posts will follow.

New Years and More

Well its been a few days so its time to post and update.

New Year's Eve was a great time. I hung out with Jessica and a few of her friends. We hit a few parties ending with midnight at Claver's. While normally Claver's parties are wild and crazy, this one was a bit more subdued. Things get a bit hazy after midnight, but ehh I had a great deal to drink.

After I rang in 2006 with a whole lot of Jim Beam, I've been pretty lazy. My two goals of break are finding out about point reduction on my speeding ticket, and buying/reading my books for next semester. So far the Milwaukee County Court House is a big old pain in my ass. Also the Jewish Studies professors don't seem to like posting their class reading lists. So it seems I'm going to be a bit bored for the next few days.

My apartment is shaping up very well. I am in need of some new furniture, but right now the cash flow situation is less than ideal. No more paychecks will be coming in for awhile because for the last 3 days I am unemployed. I'm perfectly ok with that situation. I'm cooking a lot to help keep the cost of living down. So if you're reading this in the Minneapolis area and want a good home cooked meal give me a call, I always like cooking for others.

I'd love to be passing the time playing C&C Generals: Zero Hour, but I seem to have misplaced my disk. I belive that Claver has it, but I'm not sure. More about that in future updates.
