Earlier today I was in a teacher's meeting in an airy conference room when the campus clock struck noon. I heard the bells of Old Main ringing and echoing throughout the arboreteum among the rustling leaves. I immediately thought about how sad i was that I couldnt come to conciousness to the gong of church bells and birds chirping right outside of my room window on a mexico city morning.

So I guess I was just wishing i were somewhere else, and daydreaming about not being in my TA meeting that made me late to meet my friends for lunch. DAMN.

our nation is going to crap.

so im sitting here in studio right now talking to my girlfriend and im just about ready to get the crap out of here. I was just thinking how much the world has gone to crap lately... it is quite scary if you think about it. Everyday I get on cnn.com and theres a suicide bomber in Iraq, new countries wanting to go nuclear, and new Al Qaeda members being captured. I feel politically naiive in saying this but am I the only one confused about all the things that are simultaneously happening around the world. I hope that there is some order to it and I hope that the leaders of our country recognize that order if it exists.... well im just going to go home and lay in bed and forget about everything that has happened today so maybe I can wake up not being so insensitive about the news I am presented with tommorow...
