i don't remember my own thoughts
I have a really horrible memory, so I have to write everything down. Many times, I have thoughts that I’d like to expand on in the form of a journal entry or a story, but I don’t have time to expand just then. So, I grab whatever paper and writing utensil are closest and jot it down.
Today, I found a little thank you card on my desk. I opened it up, and inside was a list:

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat a table where...
– Henry David Thoreau, Walden or Life in the Woods
I have no tolerance for insincerity, and I hold very high standards when it comes to honesty and truth. However, can love exist without sincerity? I don’t think much of money or fame, but I’m not sure I agree with Thoreau when it comes...

– It kind of surprises me that this doesn’t come as a surprise to me.
Food for thought.

Two meats I’ll miss when I go back home:
Boudin (Blood Sausage): Never too much of it, but two links go very well with Saurkraut and a beer.
Horse: Oh man, this meet is soo good. It’s tender, not as fatty as beef, and tastes better.
However, beef is better in North America anyway.
happy BIRFDAY john mark!! All the best in your voyage back home.

Nobody wants the person who hurt them to ever see how badly they’ve been hurt.

I didn’t reblog this because I’ve recently been hurt and bla bla bla boring bullshit teenage angst that seems to be so prominent on this website. I reblogged this because it is true in any close relationship; my best...
do you know what i just did?
I hope that you don’t. That would be creepy. Anyway, I just made a playlist on my iPod of what songs I want to listen to by running, this being judged after my several jogs exploring different types of music. I found that most of the best music to run to is either stuff I listened to when I was 11 or stuff I would normally hate.
Seriously, these are some of the people (I seriously...
My favorite music video of all time. The song is somewhere in my top 20, I think it is safe to say. But the video is #1 all the way. Enjoy.

Mtn. Grove is the best paradox to exist, hands down. In this little redneck town, you learn about the value of hard work and tradition and hospitality and friendship and neighbors and most things that are good in the world. I lived there from ages 5 - 14, and I was always reading in a tree or playing outside with my neighors. What fun, right? It is also the location of poverty (think broken...

– Kanye West, Stronger.
I actually really like these lyrics, not because of his arrogance, but because he’s right. Nobody makes “real shit” anymore; everything is about what is easy, not what has quality. I am so sick of listening to honors constantly being bestowed to...
…. Jimmy’s baaack! Back on SNL, that is. As Barry Gibbs.
Man, I loved watching this. It’s the most wonderful type of trip down Memory Lane. The best part was when Justin laughed during the sketch (just like Jimmy always used to do… Debbie Downer anyone?) This is the stuff that I miss - comedians having fun with their comedy.
i just don't get it
Last night was an incredible senior prom, and, for girls, tanning beds are an essential part of the prom process. I expect this from stupid girls. If Paris Hilton gouged her eyes out because eyeballs are so not hot, then I wouldn’t at all be shocked to see the stupid girls follow her example. What does shock me, however, is how my smart friends are so eager to lay down in a tanning bed as well....
this is scary
I’d very much like to quit facebook. At first, it was another way for me to stay connected with old and new friends. By now, it is a hubbub of baby-boomers and 12-year-olds, along with everyone else, who seriously think that they are important enough for me to read their 25 random things. (Thanks collegehumor for that music video, by the way.)
I am so pestered that I have almost reached the...

My former-hippie Theory of Knowledge teacher taught our class one of Einstein’s theories; one concerning relative time. I can’t find it online (granted I’ve only been searching for 48 seconds), but in a wierd way it actually makes sense.
You’ve felt this: every year of your life, you think, “man that went by so quickly!” On a smaller scale, you are shocked...

Stupid Girls
Today I was at Price Cutter, and I saw three obnoxiously loud girls ordering at Starbucks. It was fairly cold outside today, and they were wearing workout shorts with Uggs. All three of them had some of the most obvious tanning bed tans I have seen a long time. Although their clothes had the appearance of “just rolled out of bed,” their processed blonde hair was meticulously...
