Moralless
Well,
More or less.

Week One

That makes as much sense as a sugar-free pixie stick,
Or blowing a rape whistle at a rave party.

Religion of Islam is my favorite class so far. I don't have any science classes, hmm.

College has been, ultimate and ultimate frisbee, and going to Flandrau observatory of cloudy monsoon nights to talk to the operators about their lives and to look at Jupiter and M13 and M57 and Albireo.

I went to Himmel park and had a Reese's peanut-butter cup waffle cone and I was sitting on the side of a small hill and I could see the Tucson mountains and they had clouds and rain drifting in front of them with lightning strikes illuminating my eyes and ears.

Every night since I got here I've been going out to The Mall at night looking for ultimate frisbee and every night I've found it. Are strips of grassland usually called The Mall? There was one night that it was still raining and wet and windy from the monsoons that it was almost impossible to play any credible game of ultimate.

I've been showering without a towel because I didn't want to check any bags so I just use my hands to wipe off the water and then shake my hands dry and repeat until all of me isn't soaking, then I go outside and let the air suck all the moisture from me. I brought clothes and a little paperwork; my roommate brought a microwave, an xbox 360, and a 40in plasma.

I willingly went outside into the thunder and lighting and the streets were seriously flowing with water and I went and got a good humor bar which is the only thing that I have bought since being here and it was 79 cents without the income tax and I ate it while galloping through Rio 2nd street. Oregon doesn't have a sales tax.

Jaybird is really cool but she's not the reason that I am here, none of them are my purpose. Whitney DeVos is the best English teacher I've ever had.

I'm going to volunteer at the Flandrau observatory and operate the telescope, shit's so cash.

I've never been so regular in my hydration, I stop at the drinking fountain right outside my dorm room and suck it dry whenever I pass it.

"So what kind of music do you listen to?" Well, I listen to whatever is good, no particular genre. No country, though. Can't do country. "What's like, you're favorite band?" Oh, well I don't really have a favorite band either, kind of. I'd have to say that up towards the top of my list are The Arcade Fire, The Doors, Sigur Ros, Massive Attack, Radiohead and I'm finally getting into the Pixies after watching Fight Club, and other stuff. "Yeah, Disturbed is my favorite band." Cool.

I don't know...
