I changed this caption late.  right now, I'm at work, wearing the same shirt, and just as poorly shaved as in this picture... craziness

Well kiddies, I've been dealt some sweet cards as of late. The last full week was great. Things started to fall into place and, as many comrades said, "Everything was comin' up Pete!" Ah, thank God for weeks like that. They keep me goin-- I wake up only to hope that the weeks can continue into another. So far the good-two-weeks-in-a-row has been impossible, but I'm okay with that, believe me, I'm not the neediest person ever. I'm down with one good week at a time. So what was so cool about my week? Let me tell you....

I have a home
For the summer of 2003 I will be making my residence here on the campus of King's College as a Summer RA. That's cool, eh? I'm trying out the living on my own thing, which is cheap in this situation, I know, because I don't have to pay rent, but the theory's there, right? It should be great fun. I'm looking forward to it.

I have a car (still)
Sometimes you have to look for the good things. My car's still kickin', so we'll count that as cool

I have a plan
...to go to the circus. Tomorrow I'm heading to the circus in Kingston with Karen, Tim, and Alexa. All should be entertaining, to say the least. I was more excited last week because any emotion from Karen is contagious, but since I haven't seen her over break, it's kind of faded off. Melody (Ferkel-Priebe) also scolded me for attending the circus, which I deserved, because I didn't even think about poor mistreated animals, just making Karen happy. So no one else should go to the circus, ok? 

I have a purpose
No matter how far I may get in life I'll probably always be dissatisfied, so I'm resting on the comforting fact that I can help others much easier than I can help myself. I've decided that the more friends and family I can comfort, the more purpose-ful my life will be. That sounds pretty good, huh? If you have a problem, contact me so I can help you and feel useful... it's all I got, c'mon.

I have a heart
Yes. You ass, I do have a heart. I've discovered over break, in discussing the matter with Mike Shannon, that I've always been snide and, as Mrs. Sgroi herself said, "vicious," but people are only realizing it now because Mike's not at school to look like a bigger jerk. Without him off-setting me, I look like a jerk. It's an odd deduction, but you'll get it, keep re-reading. So in case anyone wanted to know for sure, yes, I do have a heart, and it's usually hurting, but we've already decided that love-related whining is bulls--t and not allowed to be on this site.

I have a bunch of new stuff
Mom bought me a new TV for the summer, some shoes, and clothes and junk. I'm all set for the summer months. I wanna get myself a fish too, but I'm not sure if it will live very long. When I get depressed will I be capable of keeping it alive? I don't know. But keep and eye out for new shoes on Pete's feet in the coming weeks, ok?

I have a suit
Oooh yeah. Sexy Pete is right fig-nuts! I got a suit for presentation city at the end of the semester.

I have an article to finish
And this is it. Rants will come in no time kids, I promise. I've been somber and lazy lately, not to mention the piles and piles of work I have to do for the end of the semester. Again, I apologize. Thanks to everybody who listened when I said to pray for my happiness, it worked last week! I appreciate it.
