So tonight I was listening to songs that a friend of mine had been writing, and while many of them were truly good songs with good music compisition and tight and clever lyrics, I kept feeling like something was missing. He conceded that too, and said that in a few of the songs weren't genuine and a pure expression of personal emotion, and he knew

well, your profound livejournal entry was exactly that, and it was great. great to read, well put. I agree, life should be challenging. truly great art does challenge you, and life should be the same. that's why (and I was just thinking about this too), while I was just thinking how much I love Portland and always want to go back, I will always need to travel, see new things. (and vice versa, no matter where I go in life, I'll always want to visit portland again). so even if I'm sitting here feeling really lonely in random part of the world X right now, it'll teach me something. what I'm not sure yet, but something. :-) possibly how to hang out with myself. but yeah, that's what all the great art does, and as you said, the stuff you remember. I'm not, and I dn't think you are either, the kind of person who'd buy a pretty picture just cuz it's pretty; there are tons of those. there has to be something that makes it memorable, that makes you think, that makes it special. shakespeare, for example, isn't just pretty words

Yanni, your comment meant so much to me. Thank you. I'll...stop beeing cheesy now and save that for an email/letter to you (though you said you won't be able to check your email for a few days).

rub one out

i do believe my delicious cheesiness has rubbed off on you JEWB ... haha jewb. while your profound and philosophical journal entry was all well and good, i do believe that everyone needs to have the cornball movies and stories and the paintings in the museums and are just pretty to look at. whilst i agree that art of all forms must be challenging, i do in fact think art also serves as an escape... especially for me. i mean... that's why i love trite and retarted shit like the quote ART by mandy moore. its just so pretty... it makes me forget about the stupid shit and focus on shiny happy people. hahaha. you are so brilliant jordan... you sicken me. when are we getting drunk together and slurring wayne's world lines?

My goal in life is to sicken you Julie! Score! I win!

Anyway, you know what I realized...Mandy Moore does challenge me...she challenges my digestive track because I am constantly trying to keep from tossing my cookies whenever she opens her mouth. That's so hard.

'Get a tattoo.'

HA HA HA HA!

hahaha ok i admit that part was over the top retarted but .... ok there really is no but there... that part did suck. but alas... i still love mandy... even though it makes you hurl. i can just sit next to you and hold up a folded up paper dixie cup that i had in the front shirt pocket of my faded smelly flannel shirt and say "if youre gonna spew, spew into this" during the part where they get married at the end. tears... welling... up... in... tear ducts... due... too... delicious... cheese... actually no i hated the end. too shitty even for me...

her love... is like the wind... i cant see it... but i can feel it...

BLEAHACHSHXHHH! (you spewing in my dixie cup)
