Where the main character ignores everything he has learned so far

I realized a little bit ago that I should probably stop planning out my life so far in advance. Who knows what city I will end up in, what job I'll have, or when I'll find Ms. Right? My love for structure and control have tended to leave me at the corner of confused and apathetic.

With that in mind, I'm going to make a decision that I think I will have control over. I want to have a pet. I don't know what type of pet. While I would like to have a baby panda that I grow into an adult and make into my personal bodyguard, I do realize the impracticality of that idea. I'll probably end up with a small, manageable dog.

I can dream, right? The important part of being a dreamer is admitting that you have a problem. I'll update you if I ever figure out how to fix that. For right now, all I've got is that you have to acknowledge the infeasibility of your more ideal ideas. That was actually unintentional alliteration.

Weekend Recap: Lab work on 2 hrs of sleep. Playing BSG with noobs. Dinner where I actually had to answer the "what do you do?" question. Drinking games to a great movie (Easy A) for a friend's bday. Starting a bachelor party at 2 am. Endless Mimosas. Saw a ball game. The earliest, messiest end to a night that I've ever had. Overanalyzed the pacing of the Hunger Games movie.

Lana Del Ray: Summertime Sadness
"Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got my red dress on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big beauty queen style
High heels off, I'm feeling alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore"

  1. Getting a dog just seems like a surer proposition than trying to find Ms. Right. I'd get a dog if I didn't live where I live and if my landlord/roommate wouldn't veto the idea (and also if I had more time).

    "Who knows what city I will end up in, what job I'll have, or when I'll find Ms. Right?"
    I do think that no matter what happens, I need to do a better job of keeping old friendships not just alive, but thriving.
