why have i never posted on this blog?

what the hell was I thinking? too wrapped up in myself, as usual. selfloathing aside, you're getting into a good state of me, out there, tyler. are you still in europe? still going to come back to brown in the fall?

it's been one long trip, man. I've been through it, in some senses reborn. I don't recongnize myself sometimes. But listen, I got back from india maybe a month ago now, and now I'm in california. I'm working on putting up all of my pictures on my blog, which is a surprising amount of work. you should check them out at http://jed-in-india.blogspot.com Not a lot of reading, just good fun clicking.

you're getting smarter every day. we all are, but only few bother to question the screen at the back of our eyes, and you all do that.

and alex, to you too. what are you doing now? in massachucets?

I'm excited to come to providence. can't wait. where are you guys staying now?

hey dude, good to hear from you. i'm in virginia, living with my grandparents for a month. am between jobs here, looking for something with more than shit pay and better than shit hours. reading buncha existentialists and modernists and writing and trying to keep my head straight while my parents and extended family visit here and ruin my expected peace and quiet.

i'm doing the questioning i suppose. reading long tenuous books helps me do that. dublin was a blast for me, i think the year did similar things for me that india did for you. though i still recognize myself, i'm more and more conscious of myself trying to remain the person i think i was ten years ago. and i think i'm doing fairly successfully.

as for ambition, i'm as diseased as they get. but to melville, I would say inconfidence is a suicide more gruesome. and it's better to pursue projects with unsure merits than to renounce pursuit altogether.
