tv_educator: it's dean venture, protagonist of the venture bros (dean)
yeah so here's the breakdown
0-14: not really a trifled motherfucker
14-17: trans/nb in theory, cis in execution
18-20: just comfortable with being a cis guy, don't fix what ain't broken
20: oh shiiiiiiiiiit

that's right. round two. it's time to Become Transgender. harder than you'd think, buddy, with your 6 feet two inches of hairy beary goodness and general malaise and honest-to-goodness girlfriend who you're pretty sure is a one-in-a-million snag. maybe only one-in-a-hundred, but you'd really rather not go through another hundred. i'm not like, disgusted with being a guy. if anything, it's working out pretty well for me. it's just that what-if nagging at the back of my mind; "what if this is the reason you can't get motivated to improve your body". alternatively, there's its foe, " what if you transition and it doesn't fix anything, and you go from an overweight-yet-handsome guy to an overweight-and-ugly girl". "what if you blow up your life on a misled hunch, excusing for inherent problems by prescribing them to a recognizable name". i could be making a mistake by going through with this; i could be making a mistake every day i put it off.

i dont really know what to post but i think pessimism suxxxorz and we should all just get along. im cursed with a pessimistic outlook and ive learned to disregard it almost entirely, for better and for worse. sure all relationships end and deaths spectre looms eternal but hey sometimes your teacher cancels classes and sometimes you find 20 bucks on the ground

my local caffeine dispensary panera breaaad just moved their caffeine dispensers behind the counter because some kid "died" or whatever. now its much harder to get caffeine for free. this is easily the worst thing thats happened ever. worse than 9/11 definitely

writing this post on the birthday of my favorite album of all time. ive been creatively stagnant and academically malignant but somehow i think my luck is about to turn around, sooner or later i will shine on in the wild kindness. let the record show im about to fall headfirst into what scientists call a romantic relationship with a beautiful woman. the haters thought i couldnt do it. they said i was a dickless danny but in actuality i am bursting with panera bread rizz and coolkid mystique

to use the parlance of rocketeers, there is t minus one week until my return to college town. in this week i will:
- get my biannual haircut
- reunite with old allies
- put all my belongings into the trunk of a car
all under the oppressive summer heat. the haircut is certainly stuck in my craw, as i do not like them and would avoid if possible. too many decisions, some guy touching my head, having to make small talk, hair falling into my gaping maw... not good

i have approx. zero cash income due to a chronic illness known as "lack of job". here are some anecdotes as to my attempts this summer to cure that illness.
- called my old job, asked if they had room for me, and then found out there was not much demand for math tutors in the middle of the summer
- called my younger brother's job, asked if i could take over for him while he was away for the summer, and then found out the local government has a strict no nepotism policy
- applied for several new jobs, got several new rejections

this does not bode well for my other chronic condition, known as "want to buy things syndrome"

just watched the feature length finale to the venture bros. it was pretty good but they didn't make dean gay so i am forced to naively hope for an eighth season. may spend 100 dollars on t shirts about it

the one-two punch of my birthday and the calamitous end of the spring semester led to abandonment of my proverbial post, and this website laid dormant in my absence. cut to, three months later and i accidentally click the bookmark. welcome back to the world ppf. im spending the summer at home and it's about as uneventful as that description implies. the original plan was for me to get a job, restoring some girth to my cavernous coffers, but everything fell through so i'm basically just letting the days go by. it's a pretty peaceful existence - been playing a lot of video games - but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited to get back on campus. in spite of my flakiness i enjoy having this blog, so expect more posts in the near/distant future. counting the 40-odd days until i can move into my new apartment

protest went well. dragged a wagon, spoke some shit, got to see the inside of a government building while cops looked down on me with scorn. there's another one tomorrow that's much bigger although i doubt it'll be as cool.

my dad's in town, and for father son bonding we will watch john wick 4. as an experiment im gonna watch the first two tonight, and then three sometime tomorrow. it's 6 hours long in total

today's the big protest, it's happening in a few hours. still not really sure what i'll say (or what the protest is about, tbh) so the first order of business is coming up with a rough speech. skipped the first class of the day, primarily out of hubris - it's a habit i need to curb, but idk what they expect sticking those things at eight am. here's hoping i don't fuck this up permanently

currently at the campus librarby, trying to get this paper done. adderall shortage has been fucking my shit up so i indulged, for the very first time, in the drink said to give the energy of a monster. it tasted good but now im feeling overcaffeinated. hopefully i can channel this monstrous energy into cogent criticism of hemingway's portrayal of white masculinity

first post on this site which i sort of forgot about. fell off the blog train a few months ago but im gonna keep at it this time. at a pretty uneventful point in my life but i'll try to fill a few paragraphs anyway. here goes nothing

i've got an essay on a book i didn't read due tomorrow night. it's hemingway, and while i really liked his short story collection, a farewell to arms just does nothing for me. i have nary a critical thought about it, and ive gotta write a whole essay about him if i wanna pass this course. im pretty good at bullshitting in the short term but i tend to overthink bigger assignments. woe is me, or whatever

on sunday i'm gonna be doing sound for a friend's short film. i'm also editing but that comes way later. it's superhero stuff which is w/e but experience is experience. hopefully it doesn't suck. looking forward to it.

i'm not exactly sure how this is supposed to make me a better writer. hopefully i'll be able to milk something poetic out of this. (actually, that gives me an idea. i should start posting poems that i wrote for my poetry workshop. only the really emo ones, to maintain my image as a cool blogger)
