My standards

Did you know that the Electron Transport Chain after the Citrus Cycle in the Christae of the Mitochondria produces 34 ATP?

No? Yeah, me neither.

I have found an amazing phenomenon in my life. If I set my standards at a less than adequate position, they are incredibly easier to meet. Now, this makes me sound like a complete transient but I have discovered a great tool in helping me become what I perceive as successful.

Example:

I had a Biology test yesterday that yielded a numbing sense of distress that wasn't strong enough to study for it. My goal is to just pass this class and in order to do that I was aiming for a gentleman's "C" on the exam. I arrived at the testing center of my school and sat down and gave a feeble attempt at focusing.

I needed a Dr. Pepper...sweet nectar of the gods.

After the ensemble of sensory prickling that the Dr. Pepper provided, I opened my book. Wow, that's a lot of words. Crap. Okay, focus Jacob. I take another sip.

Screw it, I walk up to the desk that will provide me with my imminent doom and pray for an undeserving miracle.

Blah Blah Blah I take the test and get a "C".

I am overjoyed.

How pathetic is that? I am a graphic design major which automatically plants a "perfectionist" stereotype which fits like a snug turtleneck. Since when have I diminished my standards? Were they ever high to start off with? Am I really bothered by this? No, not really. Well great, this brings up a whole other concourse of problems.

Oh well, it's not that bad. I need to go volunteer at a soup kitchen.

Chuck Klosterman

I want to be interviewed by Chuck Klosterman.

I want my life to be interesting enough for that to happen.

I'm writing.

I'm writing a song in my head. I should really write it down. I keep forgetting parts of it.

It helps to write music. Trust me.

It helps to write anything for that matter.

She has filled me with music...

"The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."

--From The Merchant of Venice (V, i, 83-85)

Some things I've been working on

So I was working on this for a school project...




and then I got bored and made this.

One day....

... I'll be this good.

I love finding things like this.

Sometimes I think I'm this creative. Then there are times when I do not.

Haha it's funny cause it's true!

I love this comic. Check him out here.

The Curse of the Stagnant Blog

So I haven't had internet connection in my house for almost a month now.

And it hurts my soul. When did I develop such a dependency on it?

Oh the weak boy that I am.

However, the 10th is when it is getting installed.

Prepare yourself.
