a good day. i felt off kilter, but ended up on the top of my game. i feel foolish, because if i don't run for re-election i will be squandering an excellent campaign platform. i feel like writing a campaign speech regardless, just to keep my muscles in shape. i want to know if i can distill my year and future plans into slogans. keeping it to myself and close associate will be a challenge. to run for re-election would be giving in to the worst excesses of my psyche. to step away, knowing that i could likely win a second term will be an interesting trial.

i have never been so neurotic as when i have run for election at sfu. the stress is incredible. huge highs and huge lows; there is no proportion or perspective. there is a huge rush to seeing your face and name on posters all over school, and the faces and names of close friends.

initially, i used foxbase alpha to chronicle wonderful little parts of songs. here are a few:
-the chorus to fleetwood mac's you make loving fun. esp. the guitar line and chimes. the verses are firm and solid, anchored. the chorus goes up and up; it's beautiful.
-neil young's after the goldrush. the whole thing. especially the melody.
-the drum fill that starts fleetwood mac's dreams.
