So I just saw this commercial for a new reality show called "The Biggest Loser" where a group of overweight people compete for some unknown prize. They lose as much weight as possible in a specific period of time, and whichever contestant loses the most weight wins the contest. This almost looks like a joke, but it's not. Does anyone else think ( Read more... )

Why do people make things so crappy for themselves? It's like we have this need for pain and sadness programmed into our brains and we don't feel complete unless we're suffering. If things aren't dramatic enough, we make drama. Ever wonder why people don't stay happy for very long? You go through a period of happiness for a few months, maybe a year ( Read more... )

Last night was the Cake concert, and it was so much fun. Their lead singer is a genius, I love him so much. You know, I think that they sound much better live than they do on the recordings. Especially their trumpet player...wow. They didn't play short skirt long jacket or opera singer or frank sinatra, which made me kind of sad, but they did play ( Read more... )

Today was my first day of school and it was kinda good. I don't have a lot of classes with Emily, Sarah, or Becky but that's ok. Becky will have a different schedule tomorrow, so maybe I'll see her more. I have a couple of classes with Paul, Neuman, and Tim. I have a very good lunch period, and more than enough people to sit with, so I'm not ( Read more... )

So my summer is over. No regrets, it was good enough. Enough to get me from sophomore year to junior year. I'll miss the summer, I'll miss hanging out with the gang every day and every night, but at the same time, I thrive with having a routine. Sometimes I feel like summer is too unstructured and I need a regular schedule. But watch, I'll go to ( Read more... )
