Left

So yesterday, my neighbor dropped by an happened to have his physics homework and calculator in hand. I had my acoustic leaning against the wall. He spotted it, put his homework and calculator down on my shelves and played a few notes from a Van Halen song. We chilled for a little bit, then he put the guitar down and left, forgetting his stuff. Later that day, I noticed it, but didn't want to return it to him. I should return it to him soon and I probably will, but for a reason unknown to me, I don't want to. I don't actually want his stuff, I just want it to be there. What the fuck.

Old

I'm not very happy with myself at the moment. I have a few friends and I even hung out with people for 2 hours tonight, but I'm not making any strides in my personal goal of finding friends. What friends I've made are people I've met through my high school friendships. Instead of branching out and making college friends, I'm becoming much closer to a few of my high school friends and joining cliques that aren't too far off of the ones I was in last year. I'm taking for granted the friends I have, but like most things, I don't think I'll ever be quite content with my status quo - like my writing abilities.

CBS

I'm a bit frustrated with CBS at the moment. To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of the network, but an organization loses sight of their purpose, I lose respect for them. Yes, of course, I'm talking about the fallout with the Tim Tebow ad and the gay dating service ad. CBS has claimed in the past that they won't air political commercials and I'm damn content with that policy. I don't know if it is a political statement to have two guys making out on TV or not or if Tim Tebow's ad qualifies as "political," but I'm quite sure that I don't care. I don't watch the Super Bowl to listen to political or social commentary on the current status of societal ethics and morality. There's a place for that, and it sure isn't the Super Bowl. You've aired dozens of ads in recent years that don't hold up to Super Bowl commercial standards, CBS, and if this is your plan to detract attention from that simple fact, you haven't succeeded yet.
