Thought Lightning: Gnats and Mosquitoes
When I walk through Grand Rapids sometimes, I'm surprised at the amount of gnats and bugs I see. Why? Well, this is a damn city; a clear sign that we've conquered nature, so you'd think nature would stay the hell away sometimes. Especially in such large amounts. Strength in numbers, I guess. And you'd think that we'd have some kind of solution for this, yet these pests roam like they own the place. I guess I can't blame non-thinking types like gnats and mosquitoes for their arrogance.

Welcome to the new year
2010. Welcome.
So. This year began with high hopes. D&D with some friends, then blammo: My house got robbed. Not like "100% everything gone" robbed, but more like "we're taking your video games and probably coming back for more" robbed. $2400 worth of stuff taken in a two hour timeframe. Yeah. We filed a police report, got some finger prints taken around the house and were told to tighten security.
The next day after not sleeping, I, along with everyone but one of my room mates, got the fuck out of dodge. You can't call somewhere you live your house if you don't feel safe sleeping there.
Now, I'm currently residing at my parents house looking to sublease my room as well as all the other vacant rooms in the house. If you know anyone willing to live in a cheap house in the south-east side of Grand Rapids, let me know.
As for now: I'm just looking to find somewhere to live. Allendale looks good, but it all depends on if I can find somewhere and afford it. (My buddy Brian and I are looking towards the trailer park just across from GVSU)
Let's just say these last few days have been crazy. Lack of sleep, too much sleep, breakfasts made of turkey-jerky and cigarettes plus D&D. Here's to hoping this year can only go upwards.
I'd also like to thank everyone on Twitter who were supportive of everyone at the house. We all really appreciated it.
For now, I'm looking forward to just going back to school and getting back into a somewhat regular schedule. I'm keeping a positive attitude in that sense.
Now, back to my Degrassi marathon on TeenNick. Man I'm a sucker for this stuff.
