of camping and of all philosophers ancient.

Well well well. Midterms are over and the Hobo must say, this semester is killer. The Hobo has never been so lost when it comes to ancient and enlightenment thinkers. The Hobo understood the concepts, but man just was not able to synthesize the info. Oh well. This weekend the Hobo is going camping!!! But it wont be all fun and games. This is a working vacation; the Hobo has much reading to do this weekend! Yay for Liberalism, democratic regimes and international trade! *sigh* At least there'll be no reading on old dead guys. :P

Great Deals and Congratulations

The Hobo went to Academy during lunch today to prepare for his weekend camping trip and got some really great deals! First of all the Hobo picked up a Kelty sleeping bag for $25 which is like half off of its original price. The reason being that the sleeping bag was in the wrong place on the shelf so the store offered to sell it to the Hobo at the marked price. Then the Hobo picked up a Mossy Oak folding camo chair for like $4.00 off because it was missing the tag and when they ran the price check they ran it for the wrong item. The Hobo tried to argue with the store and pay the diff, but Academy wouldn't hear of it. Yay for Academy; Hobo deals abound!

The Hobo would like to extend congratulations to economist Paul Krugman. It was announced today that Krugman has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences...Congrats!

They're pounding nails in San Antone, they're pounding nails...

The Hobo has gotten word that The Loved Ones will be playing Scout Bar in San Antonio on November 15...do you smell that? It smells like a roadtrip!

Cool Hand Luke

So as The Minimalist Hobo was creating this blog, right before he received a call from the TechPoet, the Hobo was watching Cool Hand Luke, one of the Hobo's favorite movies. What's really cool is that the movie came on earlier in the evening and the Hobo got to see the beginning of it; right up to the point where Luke is about to eat the 50 eggs. When the Hobo came home from the bar the movie was playing again from the exact same spot! Don't you love it when that happens?!!?!? Now Cool Hand Luke is one of those movies that just sums it all up. It's the story of a man that has been beaten and beaten and yet he wont stay down. Every time he's beaten, every time he's broken he just comes right back.

It's a true testament to the human spirit

The Hobo went to Cecil's Pub tonight and guess who he runs into...none other than Kevin D. Kevin told the Hobo that Reno Divorce front man Brent Loveday may be coming to Houston for a solo show. No firm plans yet, but the Hobo will keep you posted.

Well today's a study day; the Hobo has 2 more midterms this week: Law and Society and International Politics...lates!

Inaugural Post!!!

The Minimalist Hobo has now entered the blogosphere and the world will never be the same. At this moment there is no plan for this blog; no subject matter or theme. I'm just going to post whatever's captured my fancy of the moment. Music, politics, law school, economics mid-terms, technology, random randomness...let's just see how it goes

I just got a call from the TechPoet, so I'm gonna go meet him for a drink...cheers.
