About Me

I'm a sophomore at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, majoring in Anthropology. I'm in the Honors college, so I rarely have time these days...for anything. I generally neglect my myspace profile now, but I still check in every once in a while. If you know or knew me, feel free to drop me a message sometime; I'll reply within a few days at least. Till then.

What sort of world leader would you be?
You would make a great PRESIDENT.
You like the idea of having the population controlling its government. You feel you are here to serve the people and have their best interests and the country's at heart. However, corruption is rife - and so is discontent. You are getting sick and fed up of protesters rallying around you - pelting you with eggs. You have become the butt of jokes on national TV and those grey hairs are starting to show. Perhaps you should rule a little more firmly?

Which Seinfeld character are you? (from 5)
Kramer
You are Cosmo Kramer, Jerry's neighbour. You are usually unemployed, but you still tend to have a great deal of money. You are constantly popping over to Jerry's place uninvited, usually to take food. You borrow things from Jerry but never return them, and you use his phone and watch his TV with no second thoughts. You are quite intelligent, but don't put your intelligence to good use. You are very odd, but everyone loves you anyway.

My Blog

The Disillusioned

I've been thinking about posting another blog for a long time now.  Coincidentally enough, I looked at the date of the last blog, and I've apparently been thinking on it for exactly one year now....

The Sober Philosopher

Every blog up till now I've felt like I had to justify writing, since I thought the whole process was ridiculous anyway.  So instead of beginning in this traditional fashion, I think I'm just goi...

The Workaholic

Since I haven't posted anything in about five months, I thought I'd elaborate as to why.  If I had my way, I would just write for a living, but there's the whole problem of school first, car...

The familiar face of a stranger

Yeah, since I haven't posted anything in two months, I thought I'd end the drought by sharing something.  I've noticed a very odd fact since I've been on UA campus.  Every person I pass...

About that Time

Since many of my friends will be leaving by the end of the week, I figured it was about that time to start saying some sort of reflective goodbye.  Grant it, I won't be leaving until the 19t...

Concussion

For those of you that have known me for at least a few years, you are probably familiar with the fact that I have some sort of annual injury. Well, this time, I'm actually somewhat glad that it happe...

Where is everybody?

Something has been on my mind for the past few weeks, and it is that one simple question in the headline. Grant it I have seen several of my friends over the summer, and a few of them I've seen on a ...

Test Run

I suppose it is about time for me to post, so here it goes:  Since school has been out, I haven't really felt like me.  I guess graduating has it's own individual effects on everyone.  ...
