A lot of sitting at home on my computer, doing the very things that I call people out on myself. But tomorrow I go to take my placement test for college (community but still...) and I have a lot of good ideas. I just need to do something with them. I really just want to be someone that matters (read: someone who people look up to; admire even. Dare I say 'cool'?). I keep wishing that I had some kind of talent or commodity or craft that I could harness that would make people take notice or make people want to be around me. Like a really engaging personality. Or really being pretty. Maybe even model pretty. Or making awesome music. A music video director. A film director? A photographer? A painter? An artist? A visual artist? A performing artist? A SOMETHING! I really just wish I mattered and that it could be solidified in matter. Maybe that's how those two words are related. Something or someone doesn't matter because it's not manifested in matter? Oh, what am I saying anymore?
My boss is making us write opinion essays about the atrocities we experienced after watching "Bruno"...what, because we were all so pure before? Yeah, it was shocking but that was the point. I noticed, however, that when we were discussing what was wrong with the film besides the whole standard homophobic "that's nasty" I was bringing up points like "It got an R rating but there were graphic sex scenes". And I wasn't just talking about Bruno and Lutz...those were the funny bits to me. Even Bruno's talking uretha. I was more apalled by the swinger's party. What's with the black bar? We all know what was going on? Regardless I will write what I have to. I don't want to sound like I'm not cooperative. But I'm not going to harangue the movie; I enjoyed it. It's obviously not for everybody but hey, there should be warnings about seeing the "Sex and the City" movie. Sarah Jessica Parker's face is an atrocity itself.
I also earned my first paycheck today! I was supposed to get it on Friday but I met the group at Sullivan Square Station and didn't get it. Mmmhmmm. Money. It looks like Urban Outfitters is having a sale and I am actually thin enough to fit into what they're selling! So everybody's happy. I found out the best and most effective diet: being poor and stressed out. When you're rich and living this luxurious life with no worries you rarely get stressed. It's people with constant day-to-day stressors that always have others saying "How do you stay so slim?" I live off of food stamps and the constant fear of my food stamps running out inadvertently restricts my food. But I'm usually smoking Newport 100s to calm myself which is an appetite supressant. And of course, public transit and walking is my exercise.
If I could just find some way to patent this lifestyle I'd strike it rich...and, wait...oh...nevermind...
