1. Check out LP’s new music video for their song “Waiting for the End;” the best line from this song is – “The hardest part of ending is starting again”
2. My favorite songs off of Linkin Park’s new album so far are “Wretches and Kings” and “Burning in the Skies”…so cool.
3. So my nails this week are fake nails that are black with little pink bows on them. Last week they were nekkid O_o
4. Laundromats are kind of depressing.
5. Man last week and this week and next week are killer, it’s like *BAM* here’s an exam, *BAM* and another one, *BAM* paper due, *BAM* let’s add two more papers, *BAM* group project, *BAM* club trip (which I’m actually very excited about), and hey while we’re at it *BAM* why not throw in a little insomnia…yeah ’cause that’s always fun…
6. I keep seeing previews for that new show with Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker and everytime I see it I think the same thing — the art of discussion is dead. Everyone who sees the previews for that show and probably even the show’s creators who picked Spitzer and Parker know and actually expect that it will be one giant shouting match. People no longer know how to disagree with someone without denigrating them. You don’t have to like someone to be able to agree with them and (conversely) you don’t have to dislike someone in order to disagree with them. Look it’s very simple – it’s just like the rules you’ll find over at my parent’s blog (Topics of Conversation) under their first post – don’t yell, you can disagree but be respectful about it and Dammit stop tearing others apart just because you don’t agree with them.
7. I’ve been thinking about this for a few days. A good thing the Internet has provided – anonymity. A bad thing the Internet has provided – anonymity. Wait…how can that be both a good thing and a bad thing you ask? Well because it allows people to say things they might not normally say which is -again- both good and bad. Anonymity is good because it can act as an outlet for confession. Good because it provides a community to people who might not otherwise have that opportunity and it connects us to worlds and experiences we wouldn’t get otherwise. Anonymity is bad because it does allow people to act and speak in ways that, in person, they would never dream of doing. Bad because that mask of anonymity allows a certain amount of the population to act like assholes – they think that because they are anonymous it no longer matters how they act, they think it won’t cause any damage to them or the recipient… Yes, I included them in the “damage zone” because an act like that does cause harm to both parties. The perpetrating party may not realize it but it slowly eats away a person’s humanity and…well…that sounds damaging to me.
8. I’ve only been on Twitter for a week and already I’m obssessed…
9. Days to graduation = 46
10. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hate Wi-Fi
11. This is from Mat Kearney’s Twitter and I wanted to share it because I thought it was beautiful ~ “The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told.”
12. So we watched Howard Hawks’ Red River last week for my Topics class, this was Montgomery Clift’s debut role and wow! that man was fine (Yes I know that he was gay (or maybe bisexual)…whatever) and here’s my proof:
