When you're in your little room
and you're working on something good.
But if it's really good,
you're gonna need a bigger room,
and when you're in the bigger room
you might not know what to do.
You might have to think of how you got started
sitting in your little room.

- Jack White, “Little Room”

I want to crush free will. I want to scream into the scream, and I want you to hear it. I want to destroy something. I want to change you, for inherent in change there is destruction.

Thanksgiving break is over.
I got back to the dorm at about 1:00 today, excited to see my friends.

It’s 6:00.

We worked for the a few hours, starting with math, moving to practical physics, ( Read more... )

You guys all know that I love you like cake, but you suck for not reading my new blog.

I'm going to go back to writing about myself some, and you all go back to reading it and leaving me comments. Just to give you starting point, here's some stuff you can read to get you started:

• Yesterday’s News Roundup

Big news, both good and bad.

First, the bad news: I will no longer be updating this livejournal.

Now for the good news: Remember that post a few weeks about how I was going to switch to a "real" blog? Well, I've done that, only it's so much better than I ever could have imagined. I've already resumed posting for the Maxistentialist blog on a new ( Read more... )

I usually don't post this shit, but this one was just too perfectly coincidental

Every time I go the Lincoln memorial, I am reminded of the fact that the Gettysburg Address is a really good speech ( Read more... )

I'm off to D.C.  this morning. I'm bringing my sexy sexy laptop, so I will update on the road.

Washington Post today released polls that show 58% of Americans against the Iraq war at this time, claiming that it's "not in the best long term interest of our nation." This is the first time a majority of Americans have opposed it.

I love my livejournal, but I have an issue that I need to deal with this summer: People read this thing.
