The last day of my internship was today. I stapled a bunch of packets, wrapped up my semester long research project and left the Texas Freedom Network with a profound respect for everyone that dedicates their lives to a cause. I think thats special, and not very common...

Speaking of people who are special, and a breed unlike most; my friends are nuts. Today, i was at the fine dining establishment of Tony's Southern Cookin' on East 6th Street, with Gabe, Travis and Nikolas. The conversation ranged from tittie bars, to the audacity of hope and back to tittie bars. And of course, the conversation had to be loud, and had to take place beside a table of elderly folks. I tend to hate being rude, and loud in restaurants, and prefer to stick to social norms and mores in public. But i think i am developing a love/hate relationship with social awkwardness. Like today, I felt as if at any moment we were going to get kicked out, but thought that was awesome, perhaps this is pointing to a paradigm shift of my social behavior away from the conservative and always calculated approach i have always taken... whatever

All things considered, i played golf and pissed off a bunch of gezzers today: and it was glorious.

I decided today that i want to work for NPR when i go to Washington... thats all
