Current project is like building house of cards; been taking more of an obsessive-compulsive approach to writing lately due to self-esteem being practically shot to pieces, or could be just getting increasingly lazy. On top of that just realized that only a few more weeks till yet another crappy school year begins. FML.

In the meantime, just going to kill a wee bit of time with a record of the summer's consumption (or the past year's, or just general consumption...bah, to hell with consistency):

To Johnson & Johnson

Your satisfaction with our satisfaction with the tour of the company building for Take Your Kids to Work Day and the confirmation thereof would have sufficed, but no. An age represented by a two-digit number is widely considered one in which I am sufficiently developed to please the board, the community, and the state, with the usual accompanying insecurities of the times and the formative upheavals of the age as an underlying antithesis, an Edward Hyde if you will, to this commonly propagated and perpetuated archetype, a shapeless, almost non-existent Jekyll, and my youthful egoism, with which in turn is an underlying cause of motivation in itself for both Jekyll and Hyde.

Hence the existence of a Careers course, for which I have to write a thank-you letter as an assignment. Who says it has to be formal? Such a format would be irrelevant. Formality is a formal term for sugar-coating. There’s nothing to sugar-coat here. So thank you for all in all an entertaining day, not counting brief moments spent fighting against the seductions of sleep. The employees are what make the company, so be sure to keep them happy. I was supposed to have been doing something productive like a good student, but this should be a good compensation. Now I gleefully return to sleep, that most seductive and productive of all processes.
