btw the value of a break CANNOT be understated!! cut yourself some slack! you'll have so much more energy if you take a little longer to rest. it doesn't have to feel like a slog!

talking with my girlfriend about my deepest anxieties and needs and resolving it well + having a satisfying breakfast before leaving the house + coffee after that makes me feel fucking AWESOME and I never want to stop feeling this way!!!! once I start working out regularly it's going to be even better. I need to remember how awesome and energized and alert I feel because this shit RULES. is this how everyone is supposed to feel?? WOW

there is always this anxious nervous rush I feel when formulating and executing a plan that reminds me of the gray-white environments of certain libraries and televised city council meetings in small Michigan towns. nobody has ever heard of swords and spears, and the world is knit from the biting, scratchy, uncomfortable yarn of procedural uncertainty. the human stomach is lined with bristles of fear, but if you root around in there long enough, up to the elbows or higher in molasses, you can find a gem of determination that will blind you like the roaring sun above

I have been working on a very large and incredibly tedious website project, so I've been too busy to write about other things. I have learned a lot. I will continue to finish all of the terrible things I'm accomplishing by hand. once that's DONE and it's OVER I'm going to make javascript my bitch and freaky little pet so that I NEVER have to do this again
