The kind of afternoon when the sun can quite make it through the left over rain clouds. I can smell the wet ground outside and I have a feeling that mosquitos will be hovering around my front door when I leave for the movies. I love the glare the parking lot makes in the evening after a light rain as the lights reflect of the glassy pools collected on the pavement. <br /><br />Ok I am just joking about the whole mosquito thing. I hope you keep up the writing. My blog is: themoneymancan.blogspot.com. Check it out.W.

Winter semester, 1999. it started out as a bunch of roommates (some from UVSC) getting together with boxing gloves, but it soon gained a following. No one knew the location beforehand, but the night of a fight, a few hours before, the phones started ringing to the people with the most underground connections. I wrote for the Student Review, which automatically put me in the loop. I went with a friend of mine, a guy who made puppets. not the fighting type. We gathered the first time at Kiwanas Park, on the bleachers to watch. it was stupid, but I went again the next time. Who wouldn't, when you get an excited call from a friend at 10 pm about a fight? I went the next time, which was more official, with more people in a warehouse. This time it was stupid, but also scary and the air was electric. I could feel the mob mentality growing. My friend the puppeteer said he that even he wanted to fight, which was odd because he's a lover, not a fighter. I don't remember if anyone got hurt, but i do remember that once the administration heard about it, it got shut down pretty quickly and there were talks about secret combinations and such.suvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324711927133880025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142644256298403792.post-60336070941971188412009-05-09T10:54:00.000-07:002009-05-09T10:54:00.000-07:00aaron. this one made a little lump in my throat.

The football comes out of nowhere and totally realigns our thinking. And then Odysseus coming back is so fast. Almost too fast. And Telemachus has to readjust to the reality of this warrior father and it's interesting.<br /><br />The last paragraph is a great idea but it's a little outside of the voice of the piece. Some edits but the idea is very interesting. I love that we don't need to know the story of Oddyseus either.

I could use a few Vicodin myself on occasion (and of course Cameron—just kidding, mostly). <BR/><BR/>By the way, I’ve been thinking about the last question you asked me. My answer was “Not yet,” but I wanted to make clear that “Not yet” is not at all the same thing as “No.” No means you can’t—that you don’t have the chops of something. Not yet simply means that it—and you—both have sufficient potential but that the introduction would need further development (contextualization, etc.)dkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800156270296672889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8142644256298403792.post-73738207478699480922008-07-12T06:52:00.000-07:002008-07-12T06:52:00.000-07:00ah aaron noooooo!
