- Bomb Texas for freedom -

Is it really a wonder why we are a nation of peddlers?

I learned that last night at class. I also learned that The New School has a fine collection of good looking girls, hipster guys, and cranky old people.

I also learned that umm, well, not much. But I like my teachers thus far, and I like the subject matters. I’m also going to be doing a LOT of reading and writing. Already I have to complete a book over 300 pages, and still I have to manage to read and write a total of around 5 pages.

Then there is the matter of me starting work Monday at the shack. So yeah, I can kiss my life good-bye. Oh then there is the couple of web projects, I need the money bad so I have to find time for them.

Needless to say I freaked out about all of this so I was sucking air out of a paper bag by 11:30 pm.

I also had an interesting conversation with my accountant today.

Accountant - Keep all of your reciepts and documentation for school, you can use it for your tax refund next year.

Me - So I’m going to be spending over 14,000. I should get a PHAT return, right?

Acct. - yeah?

Me - Like really phat? Like several grand of phat?

Acct. - Yeah but Peter you don’t really undashtand*…

Me - I don’t undashtand? No you don’t undershtand, none of you undashtand! I wanna go to Ireland next year, so you better get me a good return!!! I wanna buy Ireland, I want to kick out my distant cousins from their lands and be an evil fucking landlord that they write folk songs about! Then I want to impregnate a good Irish Catholic redhead hottie, and haul ass back here!! YA GOT THAT!! I don’t care how many kids you invent, I don’t care!! You betta get to work on that shit, or I’m filing a complaint with the IRS!

Acct. - Are your kids going to college too?

Me - FUCK YEAH, Yale isn’t cheap ya know.
