Is it weird that all I want for Christmas is a hammock?

Got a baller new job. I’ll finally be able to pay off my debt. All I want to do this weekend is hit up a couple Exchanges and thrift stores, then buy some good beer and have a bonfire in my backyard. Any takers?
Also, I need some pumpkins.
MIGHT have to take you up on that. we were going to go to the lake but it’s gonna be quite cold.
Don’t go to the lake. Come over here. We can cook out or something too. Plus, my birthday’s this weekend.

i just realized how much the guy from failures’ union reminds me of the guy from benton falls. interesting.

fall is here, more or less. my favorite season and it excites me to no end. really, it does. even if all my friends bum out at the last moment on every adventure we plan, the fact that its fall makes up for it.
i need to make cider, get the weakerthans ‘left and leaving’ on vinyl, set up my puch frame with its new wheelset and crank, prepare my light jackets, turn off the tv, open (even) more books, and dust off the porch swing.
I didn’t bum out. I had no way of getting to akron and everyone either went without me or ignored my texts.
“We want to stand upon our own feet and look fair and square at the world — its good facts, its bad facts, its beauties, and its ugliness; see the world as it is and be not afraid of it. Conquer the world by intelligence and not merely by being slavishly subdued by the terror that comes from it. The whole conception of God is a conception derived from the ancient Oriental despotisms. It is a conception quite unworthy of free men. When you hear people in church debasing themselves and saying that they are miserable sinners, and all the rest of it, it seems contemptible and not worthy of self-respecting human beings. We ought to stand up and look the world frankly in the face. We ought to make the best we can of the world, and if it is not so good as we wish, after all it will still be better than what these others have made of it in all these ages. A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men. It needs a fearless outlook and a free intelligence. It needs hope for the future, not looking back all the time toward a past that is dead, which we trust will be far surpassed by the future that our intelligence can create.”
Sorry Scotty. I’ve been reading your book you left at my house.
