Old school is the best school

Waking from a brief coma in the Engineering building I was confused and completely disoriented. See I had intended on taking my nap in the BioScience and Engineering building (BSE) or as the cool kids refer to it: The Mad Cow Building. There are very comfortable chairs there but alas it seems other people know about these virtual recliners complete with a swiveling desk component. (Short Scrubs-like dream sequence of entire lecture halls filled with nothing but these upholstered bliss-makers and the pure inefficiency that would inevitably ensue) Sometimes I truly believe that the world would be a much better place without all those other confounded people, this may stem from my seemingly frequent choice of service oriented professions.
During my quest for comfort (which could be entitled: A Boy without a Seat) I somehow managed to wander into the Engineering building (somehow would involved a door the outside and another door) which is a nice enough place (save for the fact all outsiders summarily receive looks of scorn, I’m still puzzled how the Engineering Majors can smell my nonengineeringness) and found an exponentially less comfortable clime.
Upon awaking I found that every single part of my body had fallen into a deep slumber. Consciousness alone failed to rouse my incapacitated body I was forced to heave myself sideways in the chair. None of the busily working students paid me any notice, this continued until finally enough of me was able to move that I propelled myself out of the chair and down the hall in an attempt to find coffee.
This is about when I discovered that I was inside the Engineering building. This conclusion was reached when the door was no where near where it should have been. UTSA is not a particularly confusing campus, yet for the first time in 5 years I actually felt lost (this feeling was compounded by most of my torso still being parayalized).

“When it occured to me that the animals are swimming around in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic” ~Modest Mouse
I write that mostly to get it off my desk, which happens to be littered with dozens of other needless objects. School can get to be very swamping at times (this semester seems to be especial) especially when Spring Break lurks around the corner. Apparently a Biology degree entails a certain amount of work, work I could perform.
Ahh the ides will soon be upon us.
Then another hot lazy summer stretches out towards brief winter.

I’ve spoken before about resurrections. How I think they are oft nothing more than empty promises. How silly the old Phoenix really might be.
Perhaps it’s the only way to survive in this world.
Seriously died a long time ago now. Unp0ssible was supposed to fill the void it left, it hasn’t even touched close yet. Being creative isn’t supposed to be a chore its intended to be a release (think sex).
Promises to write more often. Promises of funny to come. Promises to do more.
Empty or fulfillable?

It’s like stretching a condom on a baseball bat. There should be enough latex to cover the pine phallus, but who’s to say. Factory testing can only account for so many variables.
Other circumstances may occur, but nothing can ever account for all the outliers.
For example the sicko putting prophylactics on America’s Favorite Past Time.

Me: Oh so the book is all objective even though it’s from the Catholic
perspective?
Adri: Yeah, exactly.
Me: Ah, cool, because we read this one book that was all –
Adri: One-sided?
Me: –On the dick. All on the Catholic dick.
Lots happening right about now. There’s fiesta going on and Cinco de Mayo (with the whole immigration issue looming over us). The Spurs are beginning their long playoff journey. And I finally know officially that I am going to graduate.
So, it’s been kinda crazy the last few weeks with me trying to barely make it to the point where I could graduate. I never thought I would actually have to try at St. Mary’s, but I got buried under an inhuman amount of course work. To tell you the truth, I really don’t know how I pulled it off. It was kinda maybe humbling…about as humbling as anything at StMU can be. So, maybe not.
I have no idea where I’ll go from here. I’ve learned from my mistake of going to StMU so I’m not afraid to set my sights kinda high. I’m thinking about grad school in Fall ’07. Until then, I really have no idea what I’ll be doing. I think the plan for now is to go back to working at H-E-B while I look for an internship or real job.
But enough about all that. Last night I stayed up until 3am watching House Party for the first time.
Muthafuckas could grow them some hair.
I had no idea Mar-in and Gina were in this movie. Martin Lawrence needs to stick to playing dragon-breathed DJs and put that undercover cop business to rest.
Also, next time I end up in prison and a bunch of big black men are going to anal rape me, I know just to start freestyle flowin’. Thanks, House Party!

Short and sweet tonight eh
Last week I wrote an entry about Fiesta and selling merchandise on the streets, too bad my computer froze and keep me from telling y’all about it. School is almost finished for me, this semester I mean. I have like 10 dozen semesters more staring at me in the face. Much to come this summer and in the near future.

Well, hopefully, t@p will join us because I’m serious about doing this. Awesome that the first sentence of Seriously Revival has the word “serious” in it. And, now, the second sentence has…nevermind.
So, we lost our site. When the whole Diary-x situation began, it was very surreal for me because I always feared something like that happening. For some reason, even though I’m affiliated with a few different sites, I always had that fear particularly about Seriously. I’m really not sure why. For this reason, t@p and I did a very half-assed physical back-up by printing out our entries. I think the only reason we actually did that much was because I needed it for a project for my creative writing class. So…we haven’t exactly lost everything like most Diary-x’ers did. We have from the beginning until about 2004, I think. Still, it really leaves a hole in my heart (and I’m sure t@p would agree) that wasn’t entirely perceptible when this first happened.
I think when it first became official that Diary-x was dead, t@p and I tried not to let it hit us hard. We sorta rationalized that we really hadn’t been posting much during those two years that we lost. The thing is…every single one of those posts meant something.
I’ll find myself remembering something that’s happened in the last two years, and then remembering how I had written about it, and said some pretty funny things about the memory. Then, I’ll remember I’ve lost it. It’s a terrible feeling, let me tell ya.
Anyway, it’s happened, and there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s time to move on, and get back to writing, and, hopefully, we might entertain some of you in the process.
Seriously is back.

Seriously.
I can’t describe what exactly it meant. I’ve never had the self-discipline to keep a journal more than intermittently before in my life.
Seriously.
Provided a place for me to look back upon previous deeds and remember more than just the moments I tried to explode. I remember the rest of that day.
Seriously.
I had slacked off to doing nothing. I don’t know when exactly I got complacent. But I did.
Seriously.
Might just be the Phoenix I’ve been needing.

Hey, everyone. I think most of the people who visit this site are at least semi-aware that this place is sort of a spin-off from FW’s and my Diary-x days. And if not, now you are.
So before the time of Unp0ssible, there was FW’s Friday Night Lover’s Something Something. And there was Seriously. T@P and I ran it together as part of the blogging boom about four years ago until recently when Diary-x died.
Well, he and I have decided that until we can rebuild Seriously, we’re going to be posting here on Fridays in the classic Seriously format. That means we’ll be posting together on the same post.
Many have made the comment that he and I are just not the same when separate. So, hopefully, we still have the magic when we’re together. Do you still love me t@p?
