It begins...

today i start my blog forrealz!

i am 22 years old, from new jersey, and i love the NBA. i am a senior graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in history. don't know what that means, but i think it gives me some perspective. maybe i see things in a different context from an engineer, or an english major. okay enough -

there is a girl in my english class that i can't stop staring at. she's not attractive (though not completely unattractive) and i certainly have no sexual desires for her. she's got that devastating-car-crash magnetism, and i though i find myself disgusted (and disgusted with myself), i have to watch how she behaves. it is my first english class at northwestern, so maybe she's tame for pretentious-kid-in-class. but when she's flopping around in fascination and interest in the juxtaposition of the children in photograph, i just want to crack jokes with the person beside me. any joke i'd make here of course, wouldn't be that funny, but in the moment maybe it would be gold.

WOAH WOAH WOAH - is this the tone i will set for my first blog? i guess? is this how people get in trouble by writing blogs?

better stick to news. yes. news is good. "have you seen the politics?" <-- please read this - http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2007/03/26/070326sh_shouts_rich - it's awfully hilarious.

today obama announced how much he raised and its pretty killer - 25 million dollars! that's like one year of a-rod's contract. that used to be 100 million pieces of bazooka gum (do they still sell bazooka gum?). so if 1 out of every 3 americans was chewing bazooka today, that's what that money looks like.

1 out of every 3 americans... thats the same support that bush has right now. FREAKONOMICS! that crazy rap music!

work is over today - i hope we keep going!
