"Wondering which of the brothers to blame..."
In all actuality, I'm really quite tired...a sensation which I haven't felt lately besides in the morning. I just came back from a retreat with my youth group. The thing is... everyone seems so will-i nill-i about what it is that they're actually thinking about life. Maybe it's the music. I'm not going to be instantly swayed by a guy and an acoustic guitar singing some three chord song. I master that scene in a second. The sad thing is that I think about life more during a long Pink Floyd song than during "worship" music in church. It has nothing at all to do with the values that the church holds, but more with a simple case of personality clash. Ugh. I really do have quite the broad range of peoples that clash with myself. I've been thinking quite a bit about those huge cathedrals that I saw on that trip to the UK and Paris. Even when we used to go to the Catholic church. There's something about hymns that are ethereal. I think I just need the layers to get lost in and the grandeur to actually amaze at to truly grasp the divine. You'd think that'd be the first thing people cling to, but no. We want something just like our favorite "wake me up when september ends...". Really, organized religion is so flawed. I'll be the first one to tell you that. It's the values and teachings that are important.
Tomorrow, I'm going with my mom and brother to go see that Body Worlds Exhibit since we weren't able to last week, on account of painting and finishing all that up. I'm really excited! :P
I ended up watching Tommy with my mom earlier this evening. Heh, I love that movie. It's outrageous in that way only a movie version of an album can be. And the genius of the plot comes across well. Eugh, people misunderstand the plot so often though. It's all about the escape back to innocence and that's where Tommy sees purpose. And then in being in our feeling and perceiving world, he still feels the pain of needing to be heard, felt, shared, really. Haha, if I wasn't so tired I'd go out into a full blown comparison between Tommy and The Wall. There really are quite the similarities.
Why does school start on Monday?! Seriously. Uhm...some towns in CA are flooded. I demand no school... so we can...appreciate not being flooded...yeah. Ugh, I still need to write that speech, read Jane Eyre (which is picking up, thankfully), work on a presentation about 50s television censoring, research nuclear energy, do about *all* the Physics homework, and magically be ready for Finals when they come in about two? three? weeks. Yeah, that list was more for me than for you. :P Haha, I'm such a slacker this year. In all the presentations, I'm taking back seat in preparing for it. There's no way... I know I'm the one that chose to do Physics, but still. There has to be some way that this can be possible. I want to *learn* Physics, I just don't want to go through the tedium of doing every single question for assignments. >.< Really, even if that was my only hard class, I'd still be complaining about the amount of homework. Oi. I like to learn on my own. It adds to the adventure, can't you see?
Pardon me letting off some steam. It helps anyway.
