this is fact not fiction for the first time in years

Tonight is pretty much the last time until may that I won't have something school related hanging over my head. That sucks to think about. I get the distinct feeling that this semester is going to kick my ass. But you know what? I could use a good kick in the ass. My classes for this semester are:

Journalism 405: History of American Journalism
Journalism 411: Law and Communications
Journalism 415: Reporting 2
Rhetoric 406: Advanced Poetry Workshop
English 419: Shakespeare II

I have class and work pretty much from 9 or 10 till 4:30 with a break around noon for lunch Monday through Thursday. That's gonna blow. But the AWESOME thing is going to be NO CLASS ON FRIDAYS! I'm going to try very, very hard to make the best of all that free time. A lot of reading, a lot of watching movies, hopefully a lot of writing, and of course a lot of drinkin'.

I started downloading episodes of The Wonder Years lately and I realizecd I'd forgotten how awesome that show was. It's one of my favorite shows of all time. I'd forgotten how much it influenced the way a looked at life growing up. Not to mention it's just funny. I wish Daniel Stern would narrate my life from the future.

Anyway, look for a bunch of poems to come this semester in the other blog and hopefully some other stuff like articles for my reporting class if there's anything interesting and hopefully some stories. And possibly even...a screenplay? Stay tuned.

SONG OF THE MOMENT:

Ode to Kevin Arnold - Ludo

Oh, I love the Wonder Years. Holler and I actually just listened to Ode to Kevin Arnold (I love Ludo). I did always find it odd though that his brother went on to basically make a less serious and more modern version of the Wonder Years (Boy Meets World). Both great shows, but I used to watch The Wonder Years all the time and then I watched it on Nick at Night for years. It is nowhere to be found anymore.

According to TVtome.com no networks are currently broadcasting the show. That's really disappointing. I hope there are plans to put it out on DVD.

You're right, similarity is a bad approach. I didn't rely much on it either, it was just for good (bad) measure.
