It Was Beautifully Dark, Cold, And Wet When I Went Outside Today

It remind­ed me of home, when I would walk back from Ashley’s house on the shin­ing pave­ment.

I got 14 hours of sleep today, and I still feel a lit­tle drowsy. My exhaus­tion must be catch­ing up to me.

I fig­ured out that I have four mid-terms and three assign­ments due next week. I real­ly should be work­ing hard­er. I got today off both work and school, since it’s a school hol­i­day, and I made up my work hours on Tuesday. I was only able to fin­ish one assign­ment today, since I gen­er­al­ly just felt lack­adaisi­cal.

It’s amaz­ing to find out what peo­ple blame for their mis­for­tunes. The lat­est sniper killings have the Washington Post going on about how the deaths are com­put­er game relat­ed, the con­nec­tion between “I am god” to “god mode” in games. I wish peo­ple would under­stand that any­thing can cause some­one to mur­der, and that it’s not pop­u­lar cul­ture that sim­ply leads some­one to take a life, it’s most like­ly a men­tal heatlh issue that devel­ops with­out rela­tion to a game. Popular cul­ture may pro­vide an idea for a method of mur­der, but the idea that a game can spark some­ones will­ing­ness to kill seems com­plete­ly ridicu­lous to me.
