This month in josh:

It will soon be reaching close to a month since my last post, so I must apologize for the disregard. The onset of collegian priorities in my life has, unfortunately, diminished my attention towards creative outlets. The usual heap of thoughts built up in my head over the course of a day, thoughts otherwise left on reserve until they unremittingly spew forth into the blogosphere, have since been usurped by the demanding powers of academia. Musings that would typically lend themselves to a trite anecdotal post, relaying the happenings of my ongoing love affairs with coffee, peanut-butter, hot-pockets, napping, and fast food, are now obscurely reformatted and edited to the likes of a college essay. I see a squirrel hawking silk pashminas in central park and before I can set to relaying the instance online, I find a way to incorporate the story into my western civ final exam essay on the fall of the Roman empire; my facial hair status finally elevates from that of "childish" to "hormonally-snubbed-teenager" and my beleaguered mind is too distracted with readings of Platonic dialogues to document the case in the most unorthodox of prose; I resolve to turn off the current House episode in order to write an entire post dedicated to Brady Rees, but end up sleeping for three hours, head on my keyboard, with only a line of "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" to account for the day's work. My mind operates devoid of any thought not pertaining to school. Yes, I am a tool.

I miss the days when sounding like I understood politics only required citing the most recent daily show episode, or when philosophic discussions were prompted by quotes from teen movies like Dazed and Confused, instead of classic literature.

alas, life goes on.... stay tuned. More to come.
