Quality slacks and other haberdasheries.
Just a few things here. I am busy beyond control. You see, I have been working on my graduate thesis for quite a while now and my educational day of reckoning is close at hand. My paper is all but done, which is a great relief, but I have that damn defense presentation weighing on my mind, and heavily at that. I am just afraid that they are going to ask questions and, in all my hard work, I won’t be able to answer a single one. I will stumble over my words, start sweating (more than my usual hefty amount), and collapse in an unintelligent heap on the floor. Admittedly, things probably won’t play out like that, but the thought still lingers. I know I am prepared, but I am just a little scared I guess. I have worked nearly 3 years on this research and I want it to come off smooth as dolphin skin. Lets hope it does. When I have hard tasks coming up like this one, or like big exams in the past, I try and think of how good its going to feel, how relaxed I’m going to feel, after its over. There is nothing quite like that feeling of weightlessness after you accomplish a task you have been dreading, like when you’re on a road trip and you have to pee, and there’s no gas station in sight, and you really don’t want to stop on the road, and then you find a gas station, and relief. Kinda like that.
In other news, SJs Keynote today at WWDC. iPhone v2? Yes please.
Hey there, I'm guy who likes to write about stuff from time to time. Feel free to take a look around the joint. Details about me you say? Well, I was born and raised in West Texas, did a bit of growing up in Tennessee and then went to school in Mississippi. I have a job and I like to take pictures. I love my wife, my beagle, and my family. I think that's pretty much it. Oh, and I love cheese. No no, good cheese. Thats right, you know what I'm talking about.

Wow, I am absolutely not jealous of you. We have to write an undergraduate “thesis” in order to graduate, and that alone makes me want to nix graduate school.
