Ummm. Tumblr update. ;-)
An update on Bram Stoker’s Dracula: I’m on chapter 20.
I watched Zombieland tonight after work. I don’t generally get into the whole blood-and-guts thing, but I sort of enjoyed the movie. There were a couple spots where I looked away from the screen because I knew something that would make me jump was about to happen, and I don’t like being frightened. That’s how I roll, I guess.
I’m coming to this sort of realization that I’ve been fighting for months, because I didn’t want it to be true, even though I’ve kind of known that it was this whole time. And part of it, for me, is that I never thought I’d turn into this. I feel lonely, and for some reason that’s deeply embarrassing to me. I have Rebecca, and she’s wonderful. I have my brothers when they’re not living their own lives, and I have ephemeral acquaintances at work, but I don’t really have a group of people—or even a person—that I do friend things with. It’s definitely my fault. I’m not good at initiating friendships, at trusting people, or even being available for befriending. And I’m not in Warrensburg anymore. No longer am I staying up until 1:30 AM watching short films and talking about life with Micah. I’m not making or enjoying music with the guys I lived with, or with Aubrey. I’m not sitting at a Country Kitchen of a weeknight sharing life with a group of dudes who, like me, are just trying to get by.
One of the people I work with asked me what I was doing this evening, and I came up blank, and I guess that’s what sort of triggered this for me. I’m never doing something of an evening. I’ve become that guy who sits at home until he falls asleep to a movie, or Hulu, or a downloaded television show because he needs something to break the silence after 11:00 PM when everyone else in the house is asleep; that guy who rambles at 2:00 AM on Tumblr about his sad life. And the weirdest part? Of all of the people I bump into during the course of a week in my classes, at work and at church, there are probably only a handful of people that I connect with well enough to consider spending time with outside of the context in which I know them. I guess it’s not so weird—I’ve never been great at connecting with people—but it’s disheartening to think that I’m really this bad at it.
I work in the morning. I’m going to queue up “Community” on Hulu—it comes highly recommended.
I still don’t think a day goes by that I don’t hear your name somehow. ( I think somehow should be two words ) You are loved and missed in this town.
Dear Patrick Wilson
I don’t think you realize how much you are missed in this ridiculous town called Warrensburg. I can honestly say you have come up in conversation every day in some fashion since i’ve been back, of someone else saying how much they miss you being here in our daily lives.
Just saying.

I miss you all a whole heap. I can’t even, like, I don’t even… okay? Rebecca and I are working on a way to visit sometime this semester. You’ll know when I know!
Well, I’m just gonna throw this out there, but we’re looking for another roommate.
Seriously, I think you may be the most missed person by the Warrensburg community. I feel like we should give you a medal or something.
For real, even I miss Patrick living in Warrensburg. It was nice when you were less than an hour away. Plus, I kinda miss your friends down there.
Hey, you can always travel on up here and hang out with us, friend. There’s not a whole lot to do, but we like company.
patrick? we do miss you, alot.
Or we could just road trip down to STL. But seriously, we do need another roomie. I think it is your Christian duty to move back in with us. At least that’s what God told me and John Calvin. ;-)

HAHAHA Kanye you’ve become epic!!! It’s what you’ve always wanted.
I literally laughed out loud. amazing.
The swine flu’s comin’ back
like a viral attack
It’s like ‘76, you gotta cover ya back
But not with a vaccine don’t give in to that
Because those medical quacks
are makin money off that
They wanna inject you, infect you with the vaccine
They say they protect but they reject your immunity
And if you protest they arrest you and they lock you down
Can’t have people like that walkin’ around
Contagious
The truth is outrageous
Don’t you know the drug companies made this flu
And if you’re thinkin’ you wanna evade this
Then you gotta say this
Don’t inject me
Don’t infect me
Don’t stick that needle in my arm and chemically wreck me
Don’t inject me
Don’t infect me
Don’t stick that needle in my veins and medically wreck me
Don’t use me
Don’t abuse me
Don’t push your medical lies and try to confuse me
Don’t trick me
Don’t you dick me
With that needle in ya hand don’t you dare try to prick me
Don’t you know the swine flu is made by man
Pharmaceutical scam
It’s all part of the Big Brother population plan
But the thing I don’t understand
is why they in Mexico City
in an unmarked military van
They don’t want you to see the remedies
you can stop influenza with vitamin D for free
Herbal medicine is all that you need
But they can’t charge a fifty dollar fee
Unless
They inject you
They infect you
They stick that needle in your arm
and chemically wreck you
They use you
They abuse you
They say they’re saving your life while they really confuse you
All you parents grab your kids
And shoot ‘em up just like guinea pigs
Inject your teens and your babies in the crib
And when they get paralyzed
That’s when you realize
There’s no way to undo what you did
The big drug companies are makin’ a killing
Collectin’ the billions and gettin’ away like a James Bond villain
cause they’re willin’ to do almost anything
Just to make money with the flu vaccine

Quote-y bits from Micah's rant
“I mean, she was all bubbles and shit”
“I just wanted to shove my high heel up her ass!”
“I would never send my child to her school!”
“after I said that, she seemed a bit perturbed”
“I know I’m just a twinge sexist, BUT…”
“I didn’t sign up to hear your f-ing opinions!”
This was hilarious.
