College kicks into full gear
School is back in session at the University of Texas. Well, at least the students are back. Parking is once again a pain in the arse.
I was walking through West Campus and saw a flood of sorority girls all dressed in t-shirts and beige shorts...some friends would say, clones of one another.
I asked myself, "So what's the point? Don't you have any individuality?" Then I kicked myself remembering I was in the ROTC in college, and now I am a part of a new social group, the Rennies. So I really can't complain.
One woman really stuck out in my mind. Unlike the countless tees and shorts girls, she had a blue skirt on. But what was Really odd was she smiled and said hello as I walked by offering my own friendly smile.
Kinda took me back. Not only does it seem standard for most sorority girls (well for that matter girls in general at UT) to turn their nose up to me, a smile and a hello are even more rare. I relished that a lot when I was in college. I'd walk through campus with a big smile on my face. I made myself smile actually. But before long, it was contagious. People started smiling back, and that made me genuinely smile all the more.
It felt really good to get a nice friendly smile from that fine sorority girl. It also helps me to dispel some of my own prejudices, inbred in me from years of rejection. So whoever you are, thanks!)
Stop Dragon my heart around!
The Celtic T-Shirts Jen and I have been working on are coming along great. Jen created an awesome CelticMP3s.com logo to go with the Coventina's Well t-shirt back she designed. Oh, and it looks like Cafepress has even put tank tops on sale. Then there's the new journals featuring my Dragon Head drawing. Lots o'cool stuff, so let me know whatcha think about it all. And make sure you check it out
