How to be a Blog Master

I don’t know. I don’t know how to be a blog master but I am going to try so bear with me while I learn and overcome my inability to use computers. I thought laptops were edible for most of their existence. This is my first post! Isn’t that exciting?!

Naturally, since its Monday I think I’ll begin by lamenting that it is no longer the weekend. Especially since this weekend was so glorious. I and a group of hooligans piled into my broken down ice-box of a Jeep and drove to the Buckhorn Wilderness outside of the Olympic National Park for a night of bellowing, singing, knee-slapping, ukulele strumming, and scary story telling. I fell asleep in my soon to be frosted over sleeping bag staring at a sky decorated with flickering stars and potentially expired suns whose catastrophic demise, the super-nova, had still not finished delivering its last desperate and fantastic, but to me minuscule, rays of light.

The next morning I and my party of hooligans awoke chatter-teethed and weary-eyed. As means of thanks, my particularly broke, bankrupt, empty-pocketed comrade made amends by brewing I and the other flunkies a fresh pot of mountain coffee in my cute little camp percolator. We crowded the reignited fire clutching our mugs of liquid warmth and surveyed the dramatic scene around us. Frozen-topped peaks jutted upwards absorbing as much of the December sun as they could. Opposite of them was a sparkling Puget Sound. I could feel the hot coffee warming my throat and stomach. Yes it is glorious being me.

Hey I'm Tom! I moved to WA in September of 2009 and spent most of my first year here rocking, biking, hiking, rapping, and... doing work. I spent my first year in Oly gaining residency and beginning this September got to experience the glory that is being a full-time student at Evergreen. I still do lots of rocking, hiking, biking, and rapping, but mostly I have been exercising my brain vigorously. The Program I am in, Imperialism, has been a ruthless agent of informational dumping and it makes my poor slink of a brain tired! What I am saying is that I have learned a ton this quarter, specifically about who the scum of the earth are and how they oppress other people around the world. I have become more aware of the corrupt power dynamics that dominate the globe and how to be a citizen that actively rejects and dismisses all participation in this grotesque reality. This is exactly what I wanted out of college.

  2. Looks like you’re having a great time and you’re not that bad at blogging either.,.lol

  3. I precisely wished to thank you very considerably however once again. I am not certain the things that I may well have accomplished without the type of creative concepts discussed by you directly on such region. It seemed to be a really challenging dilemma for me, but coming across a specialised approach you managed that took me to weep with gladness. Now i’m happy for the info and as properly , hope which you know what a fantastic job your are performing teaching several others via the use of a website. Much more than likely you’re never got to know all of us.

      I humbly and graciously appreciate your feedback. Glad I could help with making such an important decision. Sounds like you are thinking carefully about it, and it is likely to pay off. Good luck and see you next year, perhaps?

  4. Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. ‘Light! Give me light!’ was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.

  5. My dream retirement would be no bills, no worries and great health.
