Potholes... They suck... a lot. Like winter is bad enough with all the snow and rain and cold and shit but come February and March when the snow finally melts away enough to see the dead grass underneath, you are left with these goddamn potholes all over the state, that no one seems to care about. I had a pretty cool conversation recently where I used these stupid annoyances as a sort of metaphor, it was pretty cool, it involved traffic and exits and mileage and pretty well thought out on my part, but that's not the reason behind me writing this post today. I happened twice and I think you might have missed it once and seen it once... but this is tough because if you blinked at that exact second you would have had no idea. In that split second I saw myself in the corner of the computer, I cracked, it was small, it was very brief, but it was there. The side of my left eye crinkled the slightest bit and my forehead scrunched slightly, and then it was gone. So if you blinked, thankfully you missed it. I'm not one for sharing but you're not one to be fooled so it would have caused an explanation and I'm not sure I had any answers for those questions. There are times when I feel like I blink and a month passes and I miss a whole lot, or I'll blink without even realizing it and something will be totally different, and sometimes, I don't care to know what I missed. But that could be the John Mayer talking, he has abandonment issues and a severe case of what I call "being a narcissistic asshole". So that might not be the best writing music right now but it will have to do. And for an asshole he makes some very solid points, "Who Says","Clarity" and "Half of My Heart" have been repeated quite a few times today. Potholes suck, and you can't stop yourself from ever blinking so there will be days when you wake up and your staring one big pothole in the face and there's really only two things to do in that situation, sit there and stare at it, scared of what kind of damage it may or may not cause, or drive forward over it and see where that leaves you. The funny thing is I thought I drove over the pothole a while ago, but I blinked and there it was again, so I guess I'll just have to deal. And the thing that sucks about potholes the most is that they don't just trip you up. They are on the road and everyone else on that same road will run into the same pothole, their car could be better suited to drive over it than yours, or not... So that's my ten cents on Rhode Island's infrastructure problem.
See you around

Funny Conversations
What up nerds, so to most of you who are enjoying Florida: Fuck You, it's cold up here, to the other people hanging around, hope you guys are hanging in there ha ha. Spring break has been pretty cool so far but it's gonna get a lot better this weekend, new Everything of Nothing is coming down the pipe, tell your friends. Now to the real meat of this story, So me and my pal Maeve were shooting the shit today when a funny topic came up: Alternate Realities. The gist of the conversation went like this: Whats would these friends be like in an alternate reality, like the exact opposite of themselves, this is what we came up with, enjoy.
This is from the perspective of an imaginary extra friend in our friend group.
Caellum Kerr: This 5'5'' bundle of joy is as muscular as they come. He is a tri-varsity athlete in Football (he plays Linebacker), Hockey, and Lacrosse, his athletics make up for his lack of depth in the class room and he's not a huge fan of sarcasm, it really bothers him. He also has an impressive mustache.
Mike Gibb: The play boy of the friend group, he has a different girl on his arm ever week. And don't bring your problems to him either, he's a terrible listener and probably doesn't care. His rhythm is awful and you can usually only catch him listening to country music, if anything.
Tom O'Rourke: This blond is as confident as they come, a genius headed to MIT next fall he really never doubts himself in anything. He's also never afraid to voice his opinions (even if on the inside he could give a damn about somethings). But I do feel bad for him on one front, the kid has been trying to learn to play guitar for 6 years and we are all nice about it, but he is really REALLY bad...
Claire Dorie: I'm not going to mince words, Claire is a slut, really it's bad. She rarely makes it to school on time and is definitely in the running with Gibb for least responsible friend. When ever she's not with one of her guy friends you can bet she's down at the bay with a joint. The makeup on that girl could cover the east coast of the united states. Strangely enough for a basic girl lie her, she can't stand Taylor Swift...
Maeve Hearten; Maeve is headed to the university of Florida next fall on a full ride soccer scholarship. As far back as anyone could remember Maeve was the "Sportiest" of the friend group, She would always be away on weekends playing in tournaments and everyday after school at practice, the only way we really got to know her was because she and Tom have been in a long term committed relationship for over 3 years now.
Maya Wilson Estrella: This Puerto Rican- American mix has been towering over us since the day she stepped on campus, 6'1'' with no signs of slowing down. Maya is interesting that she's not really hugging person but still wants to be very close to people. She uses Spanish all the time to either confuse, surprise or annoy us and has a major presence on the Abbey Basketball team. She does have a bit of a mouth in Spanish and English.
Sawyer Dunn: Sawyer is your classic out going preppy girl. I don't think I know someone who owns more pastels. Between all the bright skirts and sweaters she wears I don't think she has ever repeated an outfit. Her long hair can be problematic sometimes but she loves it anyway. Her confidence is just bursting at the seems as she can be seen as both the sophomore class representative and front runner for her grade's head girl. Literally i think she might be friends with everyone and their parents.
Matthew Fonts: Kind of a quiet kid. Really keeps to himself. His parents worked in New York City and made a fortune before retiring to Newport, so he has money but does really show it. He's an average student, played one varsity sport pretty well and is currently enrolled in a no name school in the Midwest for college. We really don't know that much about him, he's kind of just there most of the time...
