Red Dragon

I may think too much. While that may seem like a good thing(and to me it usually is), it comes with a serious set of drawbacks. I end up thinking about things that are touchy for some(Does organized religion make it easier for people to just accept philosophies), to the depressing(How much potential do we lose every year of our existence?), to the demoralizing(Is our purpose to ensure that our children live in a better world, or just that they have more opportunity than we did?).

This causes me to dwell on things I should have moved on with years ago(or at least months). Its just so hard to tell which things have more to it than I have figured.

I also end up giving everything some credit. There is no undefendable assertion in my mind. This becomes a problem because whenever someone dismisses something, I feel the need to defend it.

Well at least I got some stuff going for me. A sweet lab job, amusing roommates, a great view, and 21st birthdays all the time.

P.S. The title comes from a How I Met Your Mother episode where the main character realizes he has the same problem so he does shots to kill his brain. This solution will be investigated further.

"I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket to come
I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I’m waiting for my rocket y'all"

Random Story of The Day:
When playing video games, we get out of control sometimes. One of my roomates swears, while I end up getting scared that Hunters are going to spring on me if I don't check rooms before I enter. When playing a competitive game, I once told my roomie, "suck it". His response: "I'd rather not"

Note to Future Self: Make sure my wife does not let our kids play hockey.

Best Day Evar!

Today was an interesting day. It started off with my last ever Friday sleep in until 10 am. I had coffee with a couple people which was pretty fun, but then I had to do a simulation thing for my business class. Because I over analyzed the problem we were given, I ended up with a 60% rather than a 100% that I should have gotten. I guess I'm like Ted in that way(This brain can not be stopped!).

I went to a team meeting where I realized that I was the only one with skills necessary to do multiple parts of the project. This means that I have a ridiculous amount of responsibility. Never mind this is a team where I was told that I needed to let other people take control.

My boss also decided that we need 7 am group meetings. This was fine with me until he told me he needed a 7 am individual meeting with each of us.

Finally, I went to a friend's for her b-day. We hung out for a while, which was great fun since I haven't seen a bunch of them in a while. They decided to go to the bars, which I decided to tag along for since I hadn't ever gone. Not only was I told I couldn't go in, I was also told that even if I got my ID there would be a $10 for guys. *begin rant* The next time a girl talks about not getting equal pay, I need to point out that we do not live in a gender equal society. *end rant*

And to top it all off, I've decided to forget about giving up something this Lent. Apparently I'm too opinionated for my own good. Especially since I feel people in steady relationships would hang out on a Friday night...

Lyric of the Day:
"Please understand
This isn't just goodbye
This is I can't stand you
This is where the road crashed into the ocean"

Today my friend told me she was having a get together at her place. I had made a cake yesterday so I brought it over so that we could snack on it. The only people who had cake were my roommate and his gf. FML.

(Those two and one of her awesome friends who has similar tastes as me in terms of candy :D)

Note to Future Self: At 37, single women will want to settle down and have families. Too bad they'll still be crazy control freaks. Thank you Baby Momma.
