did it, didn't

i've undergone the only difficulties that i will have with bicycles for the forseeable future.
i got one from home, and the tires consequently turned out to be flat.
that bike was replaced (mostly in my absence) and that bike evidently came without any of the extremeties fastened on. (the seat and handlebars came loose within hours, give or take)

so i'm just gonna stick with good ole reliable WALKING

yeah.

cuz i start summer classes tomorrow and i will not put up with a lemon bicycle. a thing which i didn't even know existed.

fm > streaming. sometimes.

so, it seems to me like i tend to update when i'm at school, and not at home.
maybe it's just my imagination though. i should check.
anyway, i'm back here, eagerly anticipating just what the decision will be from the manager of this small restaurant in town, on whether or not they hire me.
which small restaurant?
this one.
please join with me in acknowledging how hilarious it would be if i were to work at such a place.
but i'm oddly optimistic about it, cuz i feel like i've already built up some rapport with the manager, who's young and busy and whatnot. so, like i said, i'm waiting, hoping that when she calls, she says "psh, yeah, of course you're hired."
but you can't guarantee any of that.
so here i am. being patient, faithful, trusting, and so forth.

and soon i'll do the other normal things that i do when i'm here and not taking classes.
(WHICH by the way, start right after memorial day)

discovery

a title which, fortunately, makes sense on multiple levels.

yeah, i'm sure i've written about this somewhere before, or at least talked about this to over a hundred dozen people, but, going through music that you heard in short order, distant in the past, is awesome. That is, when you've suddenly grown and matured and whatnot, and you listen to MORE of that particular music, and in a different way.

I do this with Jars of Clay ALL THE TIME

but i just recently acquired the full album of Commencement by Deadsy, which i'm sure isn't something that a lot of readers here would be into, but i personally think it's quite crazy. in a good way.

I also kinda have this happen with Dvorak every now and then, too. or maybe that's Tchaikovsky, i dunno. point being, it's a common phenomenon with me.

is everyone aware of everyone else's knowledge here?

occasionally, i like life.
then i have no classes and i LOVE it.
then something else happens and i feel worse than i did to begin with.
you maybe wondering "what are you even talking about?"
or just thinking "wow, and i thought I was messed up."
precisely.

... whatever the cost, thou hast taught me to say it is well, it is well with my soul ...
