And then you fall... and that's embarassing.
At least it will be heartfelt, my roommate says. He's talking, of course, about Metroid Prime 2 for the Gamecube. There is this energy tank thingy on a balcony that he needs to get for the best ending, and he'd been trying to get at it for about fifteen minutes. Sometimes he would get real close, but he'd just fall back down and have to do it all over again. But when he got it, boy was it heartfelt.
What the crap am I talking about? I hope most of you didn't bother reading that and skipped immediately to here, because here's where it gets good.
I should find out this week where I'll be this summer, which could be a good or a bad thing. It will only be bad if I don't get a job at either of the two places I applied. In that case I'd be back in Hibbing. And Hibbing's never a place that you want to be "going to." "Coming from," but not "going to."
But I'm not totally anti-the Iron Range. I mean, our great Governor Pawlenty called us a "microcosm." Which is good for him, because if we're our own "little world," he doesn't have to do crap for us. And we now serve as the setting for a movie, based on a book my mom has read, starring Sissy Spacek...
What else could we want?
I think he's past that jumpy part now. Now he's shooting some stuff.
What else could we want?

Boyumus,
F MINUS MINUS on never seeing each other for like 10 years. Now I've got a job offer doing translation for a Virginian Realter. . .
You get an F PLUS for inventing the term "moop," but that's only because I'm feeling really generous. Glad you liked my blog: I liked yours about the jumpy thing--you get an imperfectly manicured thumb up.

Unlike Franklin I will not be so generous Boyum. Bad comment on Governor Pawlenty. He is a good man. He is fiscally minded unlike Hibbing' governor . . . the only man stupid enough to stand toe to toe with Reagan. Seriously Boyum . . . while it is good to see you post; make the next one worth reading.
Boy, I see the picking continues even to Boyum's virtual self.
Anyway, you'll be glad to know that I did skip right to the second paragraph.
I always do that, which can be troublesome when I read posts consisting of single blocks of text (*cough Franklin *cough).
Way to revive your blog.
Hey you guys!
I'm not here to throw piston-punches at any of your respective blogs. Although, I could totally dodge said punches if they were thrown at me because I don't even have a blog. Besides, Piston Honda is a pushover. But, I digress. . . . . . . . . . That's what I do!

Did anyone else realize that that comment had no point. I didn't even say anything. Well, I realized that after I published it, and well, there's a leson to be learned from all this. You see, everybody wants to be the star trombonist in a swingin' jazz ensemble. The fact is, nobody is everybody, and all arthropods have exoskeletons.
