Daniel Sexsmith: Maker of Sex

Thursday, November 13, 2003

Due to the overwhelming response in the comments section of my last post I have concluded that you guys love it when I post an hour by hour account of my day. So here it is again! WOOHOO!

8:00-9:00 A.M: MATH AGAIN! Oh how I love math. But what I love more is that this is my last math class ever. The only time I'll be using math from now on is to get proportions right. THE CANNON!
9:30-10:30 A.M: MATH midterm. Went pretty well. I probably got a B, possibly a low A. HURRAH!
10:30-11:00 A.M: Stopped by my room really quickly, picked up some crap, ate some lunch (HURRAY FOR HAM SANDWICHES!) Then it was off to class!
11:00-2:00 P.M: More classes, first was existentialism discussion. We discussed Kafka's The Metamorphosis. It's a very strange book but I like it, it's the third time I've read it so I had a lot to offer and I kicked everyones ass with my philosophigizing (yes I know that's not a word.) And then I had computer science. Boring.
2:00-5:00 P.M: WORK! Not as fun as usual. Of course it's not expected to be fun, it IS work afterall. But Emi wasn't there and Katie wasn't there either! Toni wasn't even there because she got FIRED, so now I'm doing her job. I was pretty busy. It wasn't that bad though.
5:00-present P.M: I was supposed to go to dinner with Jen but plans got changed. Oh well, we'll meet up another time. She really wants to see me and I really want to see her so we'll find a way to get together. All I've really done tonight is read The Stranger for tomorrow, did my computer science lab write-up, did my math homework AND started my physics. I'm such a good boy. Aside from that I played games and talked to friends! HURRAY! Life is good. A+ for coolness.

I will post my schedule of classes tomorrow. SO LOOK FORWARD TO IT. Oh yeah, don't expect these lame ass, self-centered posts to continue much longer. I just feel like typing and I don't really have anything to say right now :-)

Ah man today was fun. Let me give a minute by minute, detailed description of my life today because I know you ALL so want to hear it.

Okay, so it won't be so minute to minute and it won't be so descriptive, but I'll still tell you what's going on. Hmm, I just decided it'd be an hour by hour account of my day because I am really bored.

8:00-9:00 A.M: Freaking math discussion. I almost fell asleep. Learned nothing. Boring
9:00-12:00 P.M: Work. Answered phones, checked out my soon to be registered schedule and made sure it's what I wanted. Sat around a lot. Talked to Katie and Emi! Katie mostly, Emi came in just as I was leaving.
12:00-2:00 P.M: Computer Science class was cancelled. Ate lunch and talked with people online! Listened to awesome music. Good times.
2:00 - 5:00 P.M: Work. It was quite fun actually. Emi and I had super fun time just making fun of eachother and talking about whatever random crap. Two co-workers had a big fight and one of them is most likely going to be fired. OH WELL! Emi made me walk her to the tram stop. Stupid demanding women.
5:00 - 9:00 P.M: Heather came over (second time seeing her all year!!!) and we had fun times. We went out to dinner and pretended like everyone else there was on a date and we started to fill in their conversations. Funny stuff. Dinner was delicious too, ah, the glories of all you can eat. I got a cool neato drawing on my door (characature of me) and Heather and I made up a new term for rape (ask me if you want the story). It's weird, but I never really realized how much I missed her until I saw her. People always say you miss something when it's gone, but I think that maybe you don't miss that thing that is gone until you get a taste of it again. Maybe... ;-)
9:00 - 12:00 P.M: Crapped around on the internet, did some homework, worked on my schedule for next semester again, chatted with friends.
12:00 - 2:00 A.M: Sun and I decided to watch the first Matrix. Still and awesome movie and even (seemingly) more deep than we originally thought after seeing the conclusion.

Now I'm here typing this pointless post that will entertain no one but myself. I still have to fine tune my schedule because some of my classes are close to filling and I need a back-up schedule just in case they fill!

That is all. BAM!

You try too hard
For the perfect beginning
You're so let down
When the beauty starts fading
Once beaming with confidence
Now brooding with doubt
Pack those pictures away
And
Black out


I bought a CD (Black Out by The Good Life that has Tim Kasher of Cursive doing vocals) and it arrived yesterday. It is GREAT! I <3 it. It's like one long story and all the songs blend into the next. It starts out with a black out and a man is stumbling along a beaten and familiar path. He comes upon a bar, apparently he took the fifth day off of work in a row and he got fired. He stays at the bar a while, blacks out again, wakes up an hour later and begins to drink more. Last call comes so he has to leave. He wakes up the next morning, his bed is empty and he has no love in his life. He stumbles "off the beaten path" this new day but it still ends with him blacking out. That's just a general outline of the story, the songs are mostly about the thoughts that this man has throughout his actions... It's really much more... artistic and abstract than I'm making it sound but I just can't put it into words. Anyway, it's really quite great!

You think too much
Such terrible endings
You drink so much
To start the forgetting
And you're so mad at yourself
But you forget what about
When it gets too blue
Black out

"An Ode to Rosebuds"

Wonderful rosebud,
center of beauty.
I want to pluck your petals.
Those rays of light,
oh, how they steal your splendor.

Quivering finger,
approaches so carefully.
I don't want to ruin the majesty.

A slip, a falter, a big mistake.
Finger into fist.
Slips into the sun.
Too hot, retract.

But I must touch the beauty again.

My fist slips into the sun.



Thoughts? Oh yeah, it's by me.
