No.

No.

YES.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this tomorrow:

I want to be a teacher so bad. One of these days it'll happen.

Midterms?

I love the feeling of being almost done with a rough week. For a minute there I started to doubt myself. Silly.

In other news, me and this guy

are doin so well. So so well.

Love.

Try to say goodbye and I choke

One of these days he's not going to be here for two years. That's really gonna hurt, you know?

BIEBER FEVER

LADIES AND GENTS THE BIEBER LETTER IS HERE.

I finally scanned it.

 

Click on the thumbnails to see it in all it's glory. 

In case you have trouble with the images loading or you can't read the handwriting, this marvelous piece of thing was written by one of my younger brothers, Sean Raines. He was 9 years old at the time, handed the letter to me in an envelope solely marked "Justin Bieber", asked me to send it to him, and walked away.

The world thanks you, Sho-Seanny.

It reads (as best as I can transcribe):
"Dear, Justen,

My sister is a big fan of your songs, I like them too, my favorite is "Baby" of corse I'm like the Ultamint fan of *pop* songs. I spell bad.

Get reddy here is alote of quistions, how old are you? What other talants do you have? Hi I'm Sean, do you like ice cream? I like the color green, I'm good at drawing.
Sinceraly, Sean Raines

Also

I can hit some high notes, by the way my brother haits you. I'm 9 years old.

Your teeth are shiney!
My sister is avalible for dating, she's pritty. She is Natalie Dayle Raines.
Can you give me singing lessons?

Now I'm done

As much as I love you, U.S. history, you're wreckin' my vibe. I hope you feel bad.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"They live for the immediate reality, for the present, and thereby subordinate all of their activity to the egoism of personal and collective well-being." -José Enrique Rodó

The swing hasn't had it

I'm thinking too much about things much too big for me to understand. It turns out that vast ambiguity has the capability to hush any will to move around. All I really want to do is watch the snow fall and it's only 53 degrees. I guess the rain will do for now.

There's always something

A little bit of complaining is a good thing sometimes, you know? Grievances are what bring problems to the table so something can be done about them. At the same time, too much whining just makes us pessimists. I'm just not sure where the line is yet.

sometimes I just want to dress up.

Por fin!
