So much has been going on this month and at the same time nothing has been going on. I moved into my new dorm at the end of May to start the first summer session. I've got my own room and it's about 100 times better than my previous dorm so I can't complain. I live in a suite and have 3 roommates, but I have no idea who they are. I just sit in my room all day but then again they aren't very social either so I'm probably not missing out on much. I'm currently taking Elementary Spanish 1 (extremely easy) and Politics in Film. Both seem to be going well and there's only 1 week left of class. The summer doesn't even feel like it's started for me so I'm excited about going home and not having to do anything. I was in my first race a couple of weeks ago and came in a pitiful last place, but if you can't be the best at winning you might as well be the best at losing. Still, I'm training harder each day. Speaking of cycling, I'm really close to buying a new bike. Mine just isn't going to take me much farther.

Now on to more important things, I met a new girl. Her name's Ashlee and she's just amazing. How she's been able to crack this outer facade I put up and see the real me is hard to figure out, but when I'm with her I'm not ashamed. I don't feel like I'm being judged. We sat out in her car for 5 hours last Monday just talking. It's so hard to find someone you can relate to that well. Did I mention she's beautiful, too? Her birthday is this Monday so to celebrate we're going out to eat and then to see Gym Class Heroes with David and Rob. I'm really looking forward to it because food is good, music is good, and being with good people is wonderful.

What would a post be without some sort of talk of drugs? I stopped taking the Prozac because, well it has some serious sexual side effects. Impotence isn't fun and solving one problem only to cause another one isn't fun either. I'm supposed to be taking Zoloft now, but I'm worried it'll cause the same thing; I've not read good things about it. My psychiatrist told me that she could prescribe Viagra for me if I needed. At 21, I'm not going to take Viagra. The idea made me laugh a little, though.

How about some random stuff?

Apple to Use Intel Microprocessors Beginning in 2006

This is just craziness. Never in a million years would I have guessed that Apple would move to a more PC platform. I'm actually excited by the possibility that I could dual boot OS X with Windows to play games. Maybe it'll also bring hardware prices down.

Michael Jackson's Innocent

Last week Michael Jackson was found innocent on all charges of child molestation. Normally, I would be on the side of a child accusing someone of molestation, but when it comes to Michael Jackson things are a bit different. This case was essentially the same back in the early 90s when he was accused and ended up paying an out-of-court settlement. Michael Jackson has money and it seems to be an easy to way to get rich by accusing him of something that wouldn't be too hard to believe. No matter how screwed up he is in his head, he didn't molest the boy and I'm glad the jury came to that decision. I'll bet that the family files a civil suit against him in order to still have a chance at getting money. They'll probably win that or he'll just give them money to be quiet. Michael needs to go back to making good music and hire someone to tell him how he should act in public.

CNN

CNN.com now has free video. This might not seem like a major thing but a few years ago they switched to charging for it and it's nice to see that being gone. You might have to be a news buff to appreciate that, though.

Damn, it's already 4am. I really need to go to sleep. I think I'll drive back home to Winston-Salem and see my dad. After all, it is Father's Day.
