November 9th

So I decided to try out this blogging thing to get my thoughts down.  Today was started like any Sunday before; in a depressing manner.  For some reason I hate Sundays with such a passion, even more so than Mondays.  Sundays strip you of hope because all you have to look forward to are Mondays, another day we all cringe when we think about it.  

Basically I woke up, played Stephen (my brother) in Madden and was beating him 28-7 when he decided to quit in the 3rd quarter.  Then later on I went to the mall with Jason.  We basically just circled around the mall, he applied at Hot Topic and Spencer's, and then we went to the book store.  I looked at Al Gore's "The War On Reason" and found it interesting considering we all saw this war on intellectualism during the past election and in our culture.  

Intellectualism has somehow gained this negative connotation and is "uncool" to people.  We see it through our society's icons (Paris Hilton) and even through our national leader (George Bush).  I am happy to say that maybe our society is moving towards a new dimension where intellectualism is considered an important asset rather than something negative.  Even if it took a national crisis to get him into office, Barack Obama represents the triumph of intellectual reason over fear mongering and scare tactics.  Obama's victory marks the American People's victory over the manipulation of paranoia and fear brought about by Karl Rove's (aka Bush) administration.

After the mall, we went to Wendy's, ate, and then went to my house for a little bit.  I watched the Giants game, and tried to brainstorm with Jason different artists and songs that should be downloaded.  We left and went to Mario's, picked him up, and then went to Mcm's.  Mcm had a test to study for and apparently could not go out tonight, but we decided to just go into his house and corner him.  This of course, was effective.  We then went to Taco Bell and reminisced about the past.  We spoke about certain creepy individuals and comical times in high school.  We spoke about Enzo, and his anal obsession with Nicole Pavich.  It was a good time, and it made me really miss the past.  Everything was so much simpler back then, and even though it sounds trite, the responsibilities we have now are so stressful.  Between wrestling, school, homework, and sleeping, Its been so much on my plate.  I feel like I'm drowning, and the water level keeps rising and rising.  I'm trying to swim to the surface and catch my breathe but its to no avail.  

Even though I had a lot of homework to do, Taco Bell with the boys was a nice distraction to the  responsibilities that awaits me.  Alright so I'm heading to bed, I'll post sooner this week.
