not too much

i was looking through my philosophy notes, trying to prepare for finals and i came upon the best quote ever. thank you professor silverman:
Student - "What happens when you think you're God?"
Professor Silverman - "God shits on your head."

*In reference to trying to be god-like as a means of becoming as virtuous as possible and therefore achieveing ultimate happiness. i.e. read Plato's Republic.

other than that, i've been listening to a lot of arcade fire lately. i kinda looked at it on my itunes and noticed i hadnt listened to it in a super long time, so then i ended up listening to the album about 3 times in a row. also, it was a strange coincidence, but anne and i were walking through a long tunnel in sf and it totally reminded me of the first song on the album, my personal fav.



*i dont know how i found it, but this is an actual picture of the tunnel.


And if the snow buries my...
My neighborhood

And if my parents are crying,
Then I'll dig a tunnel from my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours

You climb out the chinmey
And meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there's no one else around,
We let our hair grow long and forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker from living out in the cold

You change all the lead sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim, I hear you sing a golden hymn...

Then, we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that,
The names we used to know
But sometimes,
We remember our bedrooms and our parent's bedrooms and the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents...
Well, whatever happened to them?!

You change all the lead sleeping in my head to gold
As the day grows dim, I hear you sing a golden hymn
It's the song I've been trying to sing...

Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors over this heart of mine!

so yeah, youre all bored by my blabbings, i know i am.
