Have a definiteness of purpose.
Remove distractions or move right through them.

Irresponsibility
Just cranked out an end of semester paper with five minutes to spare.
Still got it in me!
Now if I could just drink tequila like I did in college.

Went to breakfast this morning with Danny and Amanda.
When the waiter came with the bill, I told him to put it all on my card. Then out of this horrible habit I have when I do something nice for someone, I turned around and said “Happy Birthday!” to Danny and Amanda.

Slow slow lover
Rub you down
We don’t want no one hurting

Oh livin’ is a journey
Waking believing running
For shelter now

I am wired, inspired and not very interested in sleep.
let’s do this
Came to the fine arts library for the privacy of the stacked cubbies and their book reserves.
What have I actually done? Watch summer heights high in the senior studio projector and help Stephen spray glue his project together on the side of 13th St.
I think Ja’mie’s mouth was about the size of my head. SO RAHNDUM.
I've been really tryin', baby
Last night during the exec board meeting, the intro to Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye suddenly started playing super loud.
Little Mikey in his white button down turned bright red and stopped typing on his little laptop to reach into his pocket and turn off his cell phone.
We all knew it was his girlfriend and couldn’t stop laughing for about five minutes.

There is something really comforting about the Latin American Collection stacks after an inhumanely long week. More than certain that this notion originated in my genes.
