Stuck in a Reoccuring Nightmare
   I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. A year ago, Spring quarter 2003, I took 21 units. Among these 21 units was RST65C, "Islamic Scriptures." Now with all these units I had masss papers to write, so when it finally came time to write the RST65C paper, my brain was fried, and I spent 48 hours staring at my computer without accomplishing anything. Seriously.
   So I didn't get the paper written. I'd gotten As and Bs on the other tests and papers in the class, but without this one I wouldn be able to pass the class. I didn't write it. I didn't ask for one, but the teacher gave me an incomplete, meaning I had a year to write the paper.
   Since that time I have spent days in front of my computer every finals week trying to write the paper. It has stolen time I should have spent studying for other things and made my life hellish for more than a cumulative solid week by now. Every time I fail to write it I go through all the trauma of failing the class over again.
   It has been a year since. On Friday the 13th of June, the paperwork had to be in saying I had finished the paper; I had not written the paper; I had finally failed it for the last time and it was behind me. Sure I was sad to have taken an F in a class I shouuld have an A in, but heck I'm sure I just failed Russian as well (And technically I shoould have failed COM6 as well), so mostly I was just relieved to finally have the paper behind me.
   So I go up to the RST office to be certain its dead: "There's nothign I can do at this point right?" "the paperwork absolutely has to be in by today saying that the paper is finished" "alright, thanks" "BUT, we can file the paperwork saying it is done and then you can turn it in within the next few days.." So... I am here, still in Davis, writing my least favorite paper.
   If anyone has any deep thoughts on the political affects of the Wahabi sect of Islam and its connections to the Saudi government, I'd love to hear them.


On the Wrong Turf
   Friday night, Garian, Benjy, Benjy's girlfriend, and I ate woodstocks pizza and got our drink on and watched "Old School."
   We then proceeded to go to a party Garian had heard about at the corner of 8th and H. Normally I'm not very anxious about groups of people, I don't think I've ever been afraid of a group of people, but from the moment I lay eyes on this house I got a very very very bad feeling about it. Everyone there was all gangster thug. Normally I think I would have been merely completely uninterested in their lame ass antics, but being on _very_ bad terms with certain wannabegangsters I was extremely uncomfortable being surrounded by so many.
   I soon found a tall black guy across the room who looked like he maay have been the one from the incident a week ago looking at me very oddly. Scanning the room I quickly identified the short butt-ass-ugly guy who had started the fight. He hadn't seen me yet. I immediately compelled my comrades to escape with me.
   Don't get me wrong, there is no doubt in my mind that if I ran into those four guys again I would immediately take all four of them on then and there. But the 200 to one odds of last night was a bit inordinately disposed to result in my early demise. I felt like shit having to flee from those losers though. Arrrgh.

   I just read The Death of King Arthur for school, and the book is quite clear on the fact that it is ethically necessary for me to get vengeance. (=


Other
   I find it very pleasing when I look at my livejournal and see "25 executed." Does that make me an evil person?

Seriously, just write the shittiest paper you've ever written. It doesn't even have to make sense. Write your stream of thought down and turn that in. It's better than not turning anything in.

Thats true. Like I said I got good grades on everything in the class, I could prolly get 50% on this paper and pass the class; but my topic is so so specific argh. ::shakes fist at wahabis::

What do you say, you, me, Eddie, whomever, TACO LOCO, when I get back?

You know, I'm starting to have doubts about that vigilante justice plan... naturally I'd back you up like a bro, but I'm already picturing a sort of "Menace II Society" deal going down. Maybe we can plan something malicious while you're down in OC, then bust a cap in some East Davis motha fuckaz later. I dunno, though. Anyway... congratulations on the other thing!

Eh... yea from the start thats been my concern; that vigilante justice requires knowing where to find them in a place where we can enact vigilante justice upon them (ie somewhere where there ain't 200 more of em.). Eh.. I don't think the odds are too bad that I won't run into them again somewhere.. and I'll take up to 5:1 odds against me.

I've never seen Menace II Society?
