sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

When You're Bored, You're Being Shaped.

Boredom isn’t the absence of stimulation. It’s a test. Of what you reach for. Of what you default to.

Do you grab your phone? Or a pen? Do you scroll? Or sit with your thoughts? Do you numb? Or build?

Because what you do when you're bored becomes who you are when you're not.

Boredom is a doorway. To creativity. To clarity. To the things you keep avoiding.

Stop escaping it.

We were meant to create not to consume. That's why we are sad when we do nothing.

Looking forward to the game. The Husky arsenal appears to have a lot of weapons. Can the Cal backs perform better than the UW backs? Can our wide receivers maintain or expand their recent proclivity in catching the deep ball? Can we pressure the QB giving our secondary an easier task? All will be revealed on Saturday.

If we continue to need to score 30 points to beat the average offense we face, this strength-on-weakness matchup could get ugly really fast (as about everyone here has been suggesting/fearing since midway through the 2nd half of Sac State).

Ball control and time of possession on offense will be probably need to be our best defense going forward based on what we saw last week, so I wonder how that forces Musgrave's hand with game planning / play scripting, and if that will impact the chemistry th…

The most important thing for any offense is spin moves! Bigelow had Madden 99 rated spin moves and was breakin' ankles out there. O-coordinator need to ensure madatory spin move camp for all players.
