"What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? "
Thats from High Fidelity. Great Book, Good Movie. If i say that my mood is "High Fidelity", does that make any sense? Maybe not to you- but it makes complete sense to me... maybe you need to see the movie and read the book to understand.
I've had a surprisingly great week. Some Buffalos came to town, i'm sure you know most of the story if you read their journals- so i won't bore you all with personal inside jokes from the week. (not at all boring to me, but quite meaningless to all of you) It restored my hope for summer. It made friends seem less of a lost cause and one all at the same time. Why you ask? Well my friend- because they live in Buffalo. Soo many amazing people in the Buffalo area. Maybe its just a rule that only a few awesome people live near you but the rest have to live 2 or more hours away.
Know what i love so much? That time when it is about to down pour. The wind is totally swirling like mad and its dark and light out all at the same time. I like when things are totally opposite at the same time. You know? Like when you know everything and nothing all at once. They are the most comfortable and uneasy times of life.
I've been readingup a lot on sXe. I found tons of articles and stuff online about it and opinions, interviews and faq. I like reading informative things. It makes me mad how terribly wrong the sxe movement is being percieved by the media. I was watching the news today and they were talking about how many whales, dolphins, and other sea animals are being harmed by nets and fishermen. They showed that there were 80 dolphins caught in a fishing net a week or so ago, and most of the died. They are also finding more dead whales. Even though they have helped sea animals greatly these past few years, helping the population by 90% there are still chances of animals reaching extinction. That makes me so angry. I want to find ways how i can help this.
I think i am going crazy- because i am really excited to get back to school. I know its gonna be a huge challenge. I was looking at my book list today and i couldnt help but get excited. I'm not close to finishing my summer reading- but i can not WAIT to go back. Its going to be such a different year...nothing like last, but very fun. So much learning to be done. I am most excited for the one thing i expected to be least excited for. History. It is most likely going to be AP American and i love and hate our teacher all at once (maybe thats why i like it so much, its got that Equilibrium going) She challenges us and pushes us to the limit.
I think i just wrote about 4 different things but i deleted them all..they didnt seem worth writing about. I used to have such meaningfull things to say. What happened? I think its because i got happy or somthing. Its hard to describe what you're feeling when things are going right for you. But when things are pretty krappy, emotion seems easier to describe. That is strange.
Well i have lost total train of thought. Maybe i will write when i think of somthing meaningfull to say.
