On Travel

(Wrote this one on the plane yesterday. Looking back, I was extremely irritable right then.) It’s interesting how just about everything seems worse when on a plane.For those of you who haven’t been, you’re not missing anything. Trust me; you do not miss the seats that make your butt hurt, the wonderful odors of your […]

Stuff

Because I know some of you are extremely curious, I got deferred from Harvard. So I’m wondering why more kids aren’t scarred young. Think about it.1) Parents tell their kids that Santa exists and brings presents.2) Santa’s elves make all of the toys.3) Santa brings toys, like Legos, video games, whatever is cool in Barbies, […]

Priorities

Humans are incredibly short-sighted creatures.For example, Region Band Auditions are Saturday. I’m extremely set on doing extremely well. Yet, instead of taking the time to walk over to my backpack and pull out my mouthpiece to at least buzz along with the recording, I’ve spent the past hour doing, effectively, nothing of note.

Sorry for the Delay

I actually really don’t have an excuse. Thanks for giving me a break though.(haha?)I’m not really sure what to write about. Which is why I’ve probably been delayed. Welcome to a medley of thoughts.

Homecoming ‘0Senior

Yesterday was quite a long day, and even so, ~8 hours of sleep were sufficient. It’s kinda funny. I remember two years ago, when coming off the field from the area marching contest, I was feeling pumped. And then we got dumped, and I felt sad. But after coming off the field, I was about […]

Great Expectations

I was writing one of my college essays when I started thinking about how we live our lives. It always seems like we’re waiting for something to happen, looking forward to the next big event. During marching rehearsal, I’m looking forward to it being over, and while typing up college apps, I’m dying to get […]

Gold, you say?

“Don’t worry about any of the proper formalities. The Emperor is a very pleasant man, and understands that your culture embraces matters like this differently,” Tiberius whispered into Jenkins’s ear. They stood in the waiting room of the apparent Capitol building, where, within, the Emperor reigned over the city-state.Presently, the guards gestured the party inside. […]

Nothing to write about

So I’ve realized that in general, I don’t throw a lot into these blogs. I have all these artificial restrictions on myself, and in the end, there’s not much.I try not to write too much about my personal life. I know there are ppl who probably would prefer not to appear in my blog, so […]
