midway mark: some unofficial reflections

after reading a very thorough personal statement by Patton Oswalt and watching another interview with Norton, I've discovered my views on the latter straying a little back into "eh, not really getting it entirely" territory. still, the dude's set pretty much embodied (largely) Oswalt's ideal of "tackling a heavy subject in a safe way" about 80% of the time, and of that last 20%, only about 5% was straight-up objectionable. still, speaking as a white man, i've got less credence judging such things for what they're really worth. so meh i guess. I STILL REALLY REALLY LIKED THE ROUTINE ABOUT THE OLD DUDE IN THE LOCKER ROOM.

just discovered a wordpress blog that I had intended to revitalize my faith in creative writing from 2 years ago. needless to say, it failed at its job.

i also started a physical diary! so balls to this semi-public monstrosity from now on! except for the year-end things, those are kind of fun traditions i guess?

about that, though, I can already feel a dearth of memory coming on about January through April. maybe i might start to put it all together better once i step away from the manic heydey of May 2013 (CAN I GET A "HOO HAH TWO TIMES TUESDAY???" and somewhere, in a dominoes across the nation, a packers fan with tight black curls mumbles "hoo-hah") but here's the I Can't Remember Shit Already reflection for the first few months of the year

January: What did I do where was I even
February: I guess I was back at school
March: did I write a paper? or something
April: showers bring may flowers

TO BE CONTINUED???
