Songs

This Sunday I was thinking about songs, choir, and life. I thought it interesting that I would be in the Tanner Building studying and a girl asked me to take a break and listen to her song. She sang about how girls like boys that don't like them back. It was kinda sad and efy-ish, but I enjoyed it. I didn't know what kind of feedback to give her. I just let her know that I liked it and I thanked her for the break from my studies. It was just a little awkward because it was in the conference room and we were the only people there. She was singing this personal song and playing on the piano. I was sitting and not really feeling it. Have you ever had a similar experience? Lemmi know.

p.s. I have entered a title that is not just an entry, because reflecting on my previous blog brought me to the realization that I don't need to predictable.

These thoughts are random. Sometimes, I feel like having my posts called entry makes them slightly elusive and mysterious. I like that. I was also thinking about how sometimes during a day, I feel like I get locked into this very high mindset (good, aware, happy). I want to be in that mindset more often. I feel like I was in that mindset often when I was living in Russia. The other day, I read a comment that my mother made about me. She commented that I don't often push myself or haven't pushed myself, but that when I commit, I commit it all. I don't know how I feel about that. I commit it all, but I don't push myself. I feel like I am a little hypocritical in nature or possibly just in history. I think that I will start to push myself and I'll see how long I can go. That's about it. I feel like I need to organize my school and maybe even get a practice journal where I can write things down. Those are my random thoughts. Have fun.

This is a really cool website that represents me pretty well when I'm sleepy....without the whole nursing thing.

and yes the book's dedication says: for Badger. The man. The legend.
amen.

-don't worry, I'll get to the books' significance in a sec, but first........

ALright!! Well, Romney has backed out of the race with some truly awful comments along the way. I don't know what's going to happen when the elections come around because McCain is delusional.(remember the "I'll follow Osama to the gates of H*LL" line, then you know what I mean).

So on days when somewhat bad things happen other tremendously good things happen too. Its like karma. Romney wins something, I get an 85 on my Rus Phonetics test. Romney backs out, I get a 90 on my Stats test. Romney makes a fool of himself while backing out and the party is further embarrassed by Huckabee staying in, then I find a golden book or two or three. Seriously this one book that I found is AWESOME!

I posted the dedication picture a couple of times to reaffirm that it was not a doctored photo, but really the dedication. It's amazing huh?! I know. That is why I bought the other two. They were on sale. I then found out that it was actually a good book too. It is kinda like Harry Potter, only with totally different premise and powers and stuff:) I know. You are thinking to yourself, "That Eric Badger is amazingly articulate!".

That's it for this post. I'm doing great. Cindy's almost over her fear of boy germs. Amen to that. I think that cooties still cover Cindy, but I've got anti-bodies that wipe them out no sweat. My last words are Peace, not fighting. seeya

23rd Entry

So, today I was reminded of a few things. I was reminded that I haven't suffered from a nose bleed for a very very long time. I think the last one I had was on Mr. Cole's bus 64.

I also remembered today that my humor doesn't mesh with everyone. Example: I made a blanket statement(in what I supposed was good humor) about a guy acting like a girl and that being negative. I hate blanket statements just as much as the next guy, but this did not turn out well. I was received by shock and an instant look of 'You are a fool/ I don't know you/ I don't want to be humored right now' all in one. Needless to say a pretty intense look. So, the look that I got was from a woman and it was because I was generalizing that women over-analyze and thus kill many a potential relationship. I know that this statement is not true, nor is it very humorous if you cannot see my face, but at the time my tone was very... i don't know. I was going for humor and apparently I hit matter-of-fact tone that seemed to strike at a highly reactive point with this woman and my roommates. Roommates were laughing(possibly from understanding my tone and purpose), but the woman present was giving the aforementioned look. Words are good for offending on all scales, but often they do not work for repairing on the smaller levels...at least with me. Oh well, I'm the type of guy that will only struggle so much against a wall before I imagine that it isn't a wall, but a stone and thereby move right over it. Neat psychological trick huh? Not very helpful now that you all know it, but alas that's part of me.

Also, I was shocked at my intense disdain and need to remove myself from statistics. I like the numbers, but I hate the process and I hate how my brain does not lend itself to mold around the information.

On another note: I read about Obama and Romney and I think that if they were Pres and VP in no particular order that we could see something good happen, but they both have some weak points....mainly with Obama, cuz Romney doesn't move from the core things that are already widely accepted. Maybe I really am an Independant, or maybe I should race with Gabe as the President and myself as the VP. That would be beneficial for the world. Really. I'm not lying.

22nd Entry

Today is a day of days. Today, I finally went to my professor and got his permission to declare a Bachelor of Arts in Russian. Then, I went to the Tanner Building (the Marriot School of Business) and got permission to minor in Business Management. It felt good. It definitely renewed my desire to go to graduate school and study some form of business. I saw my friend Ian. He’s graduating in April and going into the intel branch of the Air Force. He wants to go to the base just outside of Heidelberg, Germany. That sounds pretty exciting. I still haven’t figured out what I want to do, but I’m sure I’ll be doing something cuz bums and badgers don’t mix at all in my book. I’m still dating Cindy and that is going really well. Things just keep on getting better, so hopefully that trend will continue. I have 3 tests this week. I’m taking my Russian one and my Religion one tomorrow, with my Stats one on Wednesday. I hope that I can do well. That's all.
