"Hey, Jeff! You've finally graduated. Now it's time to post!"

Well, greetings, everyone. Above you'll see proof that attests to the hard fact that people cannot survive without periodic doses of jeff's blog. I already knew this, and, although I did not implemenet an intentional paranormal depravation, it seems like the consequences have proven to be quite edifying and self-esteem-upping.

I suppose that the anonymous commentator has stolen my thunder and announced that I did in fact graduate from college. All I have to say is that it is about freaking time. I knew that I wasn't making a mistake when I left my little Glen Park home in San Francisco to complete a good education that I just hadn't finished, but it's nice to know that that chapter of my life has come to a close, and I am excited to what new adventures the gods present me with.

Probably the most notable thing to happen to me post-graduation is that just this previous Wednesday I was struck in the rear by a semi truck on the interstate near my mother's house. It appeared that although the whole of the three lanes of traffic was diminishing speed for roadwork, this particular vehicular operator decided to continue at his normal rate. Recalling from the cobweb encrusted recesses of my mind, I think eighth grade science class taught me that no two objects can occupy the same space at the same time. And I stand here today as living proof that a semi truck and a Honda Civic can in fact NOT coexist in the same space. Anyhabarijana (new word co-created by myself and Zach), after being impacted by the semi truck, I proceeded to skid down the middle lane of the interstate a good 30 feet (that's 10 yards for you football fanatics) until my capsule halted. Long story short, I took a short ride in an ambulance with two lovely ladies and got a couple thirteen X-rays that showed no broken bones. Lucky me!

I'm sure I'll be referring to this story from time to time. I've already informed The Friendship that I'll be using this event for the next calendar year to get my way in certain/any/all instances. Take care, and thanks for taking an active interest in my weird little life.

Tata.
