reality tv bites. i'll admit, there are certain shows i will watch or can try to stomach, but none can create an actual fan within me. such crap out there in so many media outlets. it's like so much art has become equally superficial as the rest of society, if not more so. don't get me wrong, plenty of people remain true to themselves, but this is ( Read more... )

you know you love them, right? they are the people who matter most to you in the world, the people you trust and treasure. yet, somehow, you manage to hide some of the most important details of your life and, if they did the same, you would be infuriated. there's this unspoken premise of your relationship to share all, to tell all; but you never do ( Read more... )

I cannot understand discussions of race. I feel like the discussions themselves perpetuate the problems. If we are talking about biologically transmitted characteristics, there do appear to be "races" with different attributes. However, at the end of the day, aren't we all part of the larger, collective human race? If we are talking about cultural ( Read more... )

Okay, Dashboard Confessional fucking rocks. I don't care what anyone says, but they just manage to say the right things, combine them with easygoing instrumental performance and create these insanely cathartic songs. I feel like the media attacks so many artists and genres, and usually I don't see a point to what they say. What is so wrong about ( Read more... )

Where to begin? Another long day that was going so well and then it just turned around. I guess that is always what happens though - shit gets turned around and around again and sometime it never stops spinning. Half the time, I feel so dizzy I can't close my eyes for fear of being sucked down into an endless whirlpool ( Read more... )

another weekend, but i am staying put this time. i don't know why, but i feel at a loss for explanation of certain favor. why is it that people can so easily disregard serious matters? on the one hand, i can see it as a defense mechanism, or just not wanting to deal with it. we all have those moments - more and more i think people just don't want ( Read more... )

sometimes i feel so torn between certain emotions. its such a difficult place to be in & an even harder place to get out of. like when you've dug yourself a hole so deep no ladder can get you out ( Read more... )

They were definitely onto to something with that song & I love it to pieces, each lyric and each musical note. Some days - I hate being a girl, young woman, female or whatever sort of genderical (nice made up word) noun you want to use to describe me. And it is not even for the usual reasons that get listed. It's cause I feel general stupidity for ( Read more... )

another day and what have i accomplished? i wrote three letters to servicemen in Iraq. i hope they get there and i hope they like them even just a little. what do you say to someone sweating in Iraq, the sand whipping them in the face? what do you say to someone risking their life on a daily basis? what do you say to someone who believes that what ( Read more... )
