Here We Go Again

So, I've been harangued into updating this forgotten outlet for my creativities by various family members and friends. This, as you may know, is not to imply I don't enjoy blathering on about whatever strikes my fancy at any given moment, but I simply cannot bring myself to ponder on the mundane nature that is my life at this juncture, for fear this may actually start sounding like a blog (the horror!).

Regardless, here is the low-down on the goings-on of as-of-late:

• eight days, eighteen hours from now I shall be leaving on a jet plane, and I don't know when I'll be back again.
  
• the previously stated precarious nature of my return date is because I may not be able to afford life in Cairo
  
• the above is due to an apparent food shortage that is driving up the costs of food all over the Middle East
  
• also, my financial aid came through (only a couple weeks after it was originally supposed to have done so), and it is 25% less than the estimated cost of attendance
  
• good news: I will not have to live in a hotel for the first few months, as I was heretofore led to believe, and upon my arrival, I shall reside on denial
  
• note: denial is a reference to a large river that flows through downtown Cairo
  
• I promise future entries will be less...
  
• this way

I must now depart and prepare for D&D. Good day.

My Life

I was born on December, 7, 1984. My name is Luke Lawrence Nyberg Earley. I am 8½ years old. My favorite thing to do is read. I have 1 brother named Adam David Nyberg Earley and 1 sister named Jennifer Michelle Nyberg Earley. After I was born my mom and dad didn't get along very well. 2 years later on July, 31, 1986 my sister was born. My mom and dad started getting along and not fighting so much. On October, 19, 1988 my brother was born. My mom and dad divorsed December, 14, 1988. We moved to Maple Grove when I was 6 years old. I made about 3 friends and then we moved to Victoria and I go to J.E.S. and I am in 2nd grade. My teacher is Mrs. Sagara (Mary Sagara) J.E.S. is a good school not much homework, nice teachers, and fun.

That's my life sofar.

THE END

Home Again

As I look up in the very blue sky,
I run so fast I feel like I can fly.

I feel like an eagle, so strong and so light,
I flap my wings and soon take flight.

I go soaring through the bright blue air,
without a worry; without a care.

As I look at the ground below,
I know I have a place to go.

The flight is short but very sweet,
and soon I land back on my feet.

Home again, it feels so right,
to be myself, even in flight.

Update: I went to the Hennepin County Government Center and got one ticket voided, another dropped down to $40, and two parking tickets—which I didn't even know I had, and I wasn't asking about—discounted as well. I shall never pay full price for a ticket again.

Reasoning behind tickets: I asked, and supposedly any car parked on a public street must be registered, and, thusly, is ticketable if the tabs are expired. Pretty lame, if you ask me, which you did, because you're reading my blog.

Summer of Awesome: is in full swing... jealous?

Oh god! they just keep multiplying: I have three cats now. When will it stop?

More bloggings: I started another blog, different in goals than this one. Check it out. Points for knowing what the URL means or answering a post.

That: is all.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KILL IT?

Quite amazingly I received my AUC acceptance packet in the mail today. I sincerely hope that my financial aid comes through in the same way it did this last semester because there is no way I will be able to afford the $20,000 tuition for the year. On an unrelated note, anybody have any inside info on the lottery numbers?

Unfortunately, the '2' key on my keyboard seems to be malfunctioning. This didn't bother me at first, until I realized that it was also the '@' key. I think that is rather odd considering I probably type the number more than the symbol... but I guess something about not being able to input my e-mail for logging-in purposes without slamming my pointer finger down and potentially injuring myself just really seems to bug me.

I have two cats now and though I am not entirely sure how I ended up with Helena as a permanent resident (she came over for a play date with Koopa and then just sort of got left behind), if I ever hear from her owner again I might have to demand some sort of ransom, because even though they attack each other every few minutes or so, I am sure Koopa likes having someone else to beat him up besides me.

Crazily enough, the city of Minneapolis doesn't allow an unused car to be serenely parked on the street anymore. I noticed that this morning that I had two expired tabs tickets under my wiper; both of them for the unrealistic sum of $105. Why it is illegal to have expired tabs on a parked car, I will never know (actually, I plan on contesting the tickets so maybe the judge will tell me).

Killing hookers and shooting rocket launchers at cops will soon be on the agenda. Grand Theft Auto IV comes out in ten short days, and I truly hope I have all my homework done by that time because I can't imagine I'll be interested in going to class for a few days. The good news is that there are only about two weeks left of class, so I won't be missing much.

Love always,

Your pal Luke

He Is Risen

So, I return from the depths of the abyss with three new items:

• I re-learned how to ride my bike no-handed today
• I have officially submitted my application for AUC (after only two months of putting it off!)
• I went to a free preview of Doomsday, and all I have to say is: wow, just wow

Until next time.
