Yes, it's finally here.
The great party weekend came & went. I didn't quite make it past Friday night/Saturday morning, but nobody's perfect. I can honestly say I put quite the dent in the keg in which I dranketh from.....all night long.
Quick impression of me Saturday.
Hey, at least I left with my shoes on unlike some folks I happen to be acquainted with. Needless to say the encore presentation of my beloved costume did not happen. There are pictures floating about of the great costume of 2005, and I will desperately attempt to acquire a few to post here. The great costume was
.....a hermaphrodite flasher. Think about it.....I'll give you some time.
I will admit that running around fairly inebriated with a prosthetic penis attached to my waist was good, clean fun. The question is how does one outdo oneself after that? It will happen, my friends. Keep the faith.
So I'm trying to get my shiznit together & head back into the classroom right? Now one would think peers, co-workers & so on would be supportive of this or at least have some words of encouragement. Mind you, finishing an undergraduate degree program when you're a real person that has to work & pay bills is hard enough. It's 10x as frustrating when the universities (public) in the metro area have nothing other than nursing & business programs to choose from. If you're going to pay out the @ss for a college degree, I assume one would want to choose a degree program to his/her liking. So I have been searching for a basic psychology program (B.S. - no, not bullsh!t) offered in the evenings.
Since I made the announcement that I wish to return to school & finish what I started say 10 years ago, the support has been a little dismal....primarily because of the degree program I selected (Psychology). Firstly, I have no desire to be a shrink/therapist/mindf*cker in any way, shape, or form. It will be used for self-therapy more than anything I suspect. Secondly, I do not wish to use this degree in any way to obtain a career within the field of psychology or counseling. Thirdly, I'm doing this for me and only me because this is one of the goals set by myself in which I have yet to complete. Why psychology, you ask? It's quite fascinating to me. It interests me. I will actually have a desire to attend class & pay attention rather than slice my wrists. If any of you have had the misfortune of taking an economics class, then you understand. Hell, I might even be inclined to take on the master's program, but let's not go crazy just yet. Go crazy...get it? So a little support would be stellar. I'm at my last alternative, which is a private university....and unfortunately these are pricey places to attend.

I've managed to acquire two Associate degrees & a buttload of credits over this 10+ year span. Perhaps I can sell them to needy students on the black market. But enough about me. That is my rant for the day.
I was recently informed that my dear, sweet mother has been following this particular blog, which was albeit shocking at first. However, it's all good, Hollywood. So...
On the flip-flop, yo.....
