What's New
It has been a substantial amount of time since I've posted anything of any consequence on this thing, so I figured people would enjoy a little news on the where abouts of everyone's favorite retard-genius, Dan Fbach.Let's see hirr. Living in the old lady's place for now. Not my first choice on where to live, but it beats the fuck out of going home. No air conditioner, no cable, no internet. Sounds like it's tough, but I love it. It's nice to block out those distractions in order to concentrate on more noble pursuits. Karl Marx once said religion is the opium of the masses. I believe this statement to be false. From now on, Dan Fbach will be famous for this quote:"Cable television is the opium of the masses."Still dating Marde. Things are getting serious. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting married. She's a super lady and an incredible human being. I can honestly say she brings the balance to my life I so desperately need.Dan the journalist is no more. The days of me becoming the next Wolfe Blitzer are now part of my ever-dimming past. I got sick of all the hypocrisy, phoniness and inherent liberalness of being a reporter. I have changer to an English major. I don't know what I'll do with it when/if I graduate, and I know English majors are just as liberal, but at least I can look in the mirror again.Moving into a duplex with Adam Hall in July (I hope). It's got a good price and is in a good neighborhood, AND it's porn store adjacent. Hall's room is going to be six feet wide by twenty-four feet long. It's got a porch and bushes. It's I need, and a little more then I deserve.Right now I'm living like J.D. Salanger, author of "Catcher in the Rye." I know you all remember that book from high school. I sit in my room. I read books and I write. It gives me a chance to contemplate my life. I'm working on a narrative of my experiences. It's eight-thousand words long so far, and with any luck, it'll be fifty-thousand by summer's end.I'm also gearing up for a short story about my MIP experience. It's about how I went from befriending this guy, then being bored by him, and then hating his guts and all he stood for. I hope it's good, at the very least it'll be a distraction.I'm still a janitor. I have very little dignity, but very low stress. The bosses are trying to get me to go into it as a career, but I'm not stupid. I'm going to wait until after I get the ten-thousand dollar English degree to become a janitor.My junior year is going to be the best year to date. John is moving into my old stomping grounds, Able Hall and I am going to get into my new stomping grounds. I can't believe college is half over. It went so absurdly quick.In other words, I'm just kicking it in my adopted hometown. The more time I spend in Lincoln, the more I love it here. I never thought I would say this but there is only one other place in the world I'd rather live, and that's New York City.That's all for now. I hope you guys enjoyed hearing about what my life has been like in past weeks and months. I hope everyone has a good summer, god knows I am.
