He's an engineering student. He lives in a truck. Drives all around. Gets arrested and almost never eats at the same place twice. I mean if this guy isn’t to be jealous of, then who is?

We know people, we like people, we love people. And it leads to wonderful things. [I am tempted to write “In the movies!” but I won’t. Spectacular things happen in real life too. I vouch for that.] But often it leads to pretty disastrous things.

Ever tried doing something but one moment victory is near and the next it’s far? Same thing happened to Justin last summer. Justin had a crush on one of his new classmates, Carla. Being amazingly shy, Justin wasn’t the kind of guy who’d just walk up to a girl he barely knows and asks her [...]

Two months it’s been. The typical thing that I would say would have been “Big Deal!” I mean nobody is reading this anyway…so I might as well not write pages for me to gloat over (“I have a blog, Hoo haa). Then I thought, now that my school, that would have the pleasure of being [...]

My life has been so interesting for the past few days that it’s been quite a task for me to keep my eyes open. My life spent a lot of doing something that I really don’t enjoy that much — sucking. On some days it sucked so much that I thought it was a vacuum [...]
