I feel so good
being alive is amazing
learning and changing and growing and becoming different is amazing
challenging yourself to try to get out of ingrained thought-patterns or habits is amazing
talking to people is amazing
being at my desk in my office writing letters for all my best students, and then a guy from the lit department pops by and we talk intensely about Shakespeare for 20 minutes and then I go back to my letters...is amazing
drinking coffee is amazing
drinking wine with a lovely dinner is amazing
having amazing friends is amazing. I feel so lucky that I know you guys and have known lots of you for basically my whole adult life. Chosen family you guys! So beautiful to know people in the world who know you and get you and love you and even when you annoy them they still love you. Is amazing.
Having a dog is amazing. Seeing him encounter the world each day is amazing.
Cooking food is amazing. Eating food is amazing.
Listening to music is amazing. Writing about music is amazing.
TEACHING IS AMAZING, I am so lucky to be able to do something I love so much for money.
We are lucky, so lucky
We are among the most privileged tiny fraction of humans who have ever lived
it's not fair
we didn't ask for it
but I won't shit in its face by not appreciating it with my whole heart, and enjoying it while I am alive

You're amazing!
I feel slightly less amazing now as I was not as productive as I wanted to be. But still pretty amazing.
I got to post a link to the term "superstructure". Amazing!
Such a great thing. Feels good.
I love movie
sand on the highway
these awesome sweat pants and exercise shorts my mom bought for me at the macy's she's been buying me clothes at for 20+ years
going with my mom to costco to buy really cheap fancy steak
go walk on the John Steinbeck beach in those new sweat pants Alan
Wish I was digging on some awesome sweat pants
My mom's been buying me underwear at Wal Mart for 20+ years, even though she hates Wal Mart and is always afraid someone's going to see her in there
She brings her own bag so no one will know she went
great underwear though
sometimes I think I would never get new underwear if my mom didn't force it on me
i love mom
i love underwear
i love whispering pines
I just made blueberry cupcakes but I fucked up the frosting so now they are just muffins
pretty amazing
Every xmas my mom buys me socks, plain white Hanes ts, and boxer briefs from Target.
That's all I need in life, really.
I always used to have this joke that I would only start to exercise when I turned thirty. The reasoning is, I could "get by" on youthful looks for a time, then when they begin to mature into my mature good looks, I will begin to develop a Body, thereby bringing my overall looks into a general improvement over the years before, thereby putting my vanities at bay for another good length of time. Health? Pah! Vanity motivates me.
Well guess what.... that day is on Saturday
Hopefully you got an invitation to my 5 pm private karaoke party from Wanda. If she somehow overlooked you, and yet we are known to have a friendly relation, I do hope that you can make it to help me celebrate. I plan to spend some time telling you about myself during my "banter" and perhaps between other people's songs.
When this leg is healed (knock on wood) we should have some mellow UHX yoga meetings, like in my yard
Also, I have a book for you YT, which I can give to you if you come to the karaoke party on Saturday.
Can't wait to see you sing a song and give me a book
What a cool birthday girl
Let you entertain me
A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE NATHAN
I can only imagine what it would be like with LT.
I sing Karaoke in up to four languages (two of them poorly).
Happy birthday!
sincerely,
Juice.
Finding the right words.
Having an impression stand still long enough to tack a bit of it down.
Amazing.

So happy for you dude!
you'll have a heart attack!
or at least faint.
but also, that would be a pretty sweet way to go out!
Stop fainting, Alex. Eat beans. They are amazing!
I used to faint, but it has been a long time. Dr. said drink water. So I do.
And it feels great!
I knew that I would
: - (
Including me
Also, I sometimes spasm as I am trying to stay up and not faint. Apparently, it looks like I am doing a weird dance. This has led to much laughter on the part of my mean friends.
Here is my fainting advice: SIT. DOWN. FAST.
Very prone to fainting at the sight of blood.
If it's an emergency I will man up and do whatever I can and once all is taken care of and the adrenaline goes down I faint.
Much like Zuck, it happens less now because I know when to sit down and put my head between my legs.
But some a-wads think it's funny to show me their bleeding areas and shove them right into my face. I hope you bleed to death, a-wads.
(not really)
(but still)
until my arm wound, when, after the initial adrenaline of sprinting to the ER wore off, I did feel a bit faint/sick, for like a couple minutes I thought "maybe I will barf?" but then it passed. I was careful not to look at the wound during this time. Once the feeling had passed I looked to my heart's content, and saw into the inside of my body
I feel great today because I almost finished my syllabus, and, somewhat to my own surprise, wrote or otherwise compiled the discussion questions and/or class notes for almost every single one of my 40 class days in the fall! I have really done myself a solid and am very pleased--I wasn't even intending to do it, it just happened. This will help me very much in the coming 3 months.
I also wrote all my writing prompts, and got 4 out of my 5 writing workshops at least somewhat planned.
Hooray!
The semester is starting, things are ramping up! I'm getting so many emails a day from various departments on campus. Filling up my day planner and trying not to forget anything. Still need to finalize syllabus and some other stuff, but more importantly need to get all my ducks in a row re: office, paperwork, readings on the course website, advising info I suddenly need to know, and now I've just been asked to present on the Bible at a school-wide talk and I don't know what to do.
TELL ME HOW TO FEEL GOOD
