He walked parallel to the counter as if he were passing through but, as if he had just thought of something to ask, changed direction in midstride, reminiscent of some herd mentality; a herd of one.
“Where can I find,” he paused to clear his throat, “Wuthering Heights.”
I just started playing Cafe World.
I do nothing but play Farmville already
I find myself reconnecting to generic artists like “Sarah McLaughlin”
I’m watching a lot of TV online
All I want to do is drown my sorrows in Vodka
I’m taking a supervisor position in a meaningless job just to make money
AND I feel all this is brought tragically into perspective by the fact...
I’m secretly glad that he’s one of those people who does not “get” facebook and thus posts really lame/boring/typical stuff on status updates and that his friends are people who actually care about that lame/boring/typical stuff.
All this hullabaloo over AVATAR makes me wonder: Is it so full of meaning that people can’t help but see it or is so empty of meaning that people can’t help give it some?
I want to be thinner, not thin, just thinner. It’s not really a self-esteem or self-worth issue (or even a health one), I just want to be able to go to any store and buy a pair of jeans on clearance and wear clothes ironically.
I am more inclined to ask people if they need help if they are attractive. I feel bad about doing it but, well, I also like to have game.

I should have been a great many things...
You know, it’s funny how sometimes it takes you the longest to learn the most simple of lessons, I mean REALLY learn them.
More than bemoan my circumstance growing up, which I’ve actually come to terms with, it’s been impressed upon me the IMMENSITY that is encouraging the young to embrace their creativity and inquisitveness and all around DREAMS!!!
I feel this insight I have...

This article questions the methods of some animal activists in their pursuit to stop the use of animals as a food source as employing colonialist thought processes that, ultimately, will not work on groups of people that have a history of being oppressed by colonialism.
While in an argument class in college, we had to write an essay on animal rights. My stance, in particular, was that I was...
Why do people still watch American Idol? It’s the lamest show ever and the people who win never actually become anything. It’s usually the ones who stir up the most controversy that end up becomeing the Idols. I suppose, in that sense, the show truly does work.
Is almost 30 “mid-life?” Am I allowed a crisis? Too soon?
Because V-Day is creeping up on us, like a bad rash, I will like to take a moment and jot down my desires/dreams/expectations/ideals.
1. Being able to spend hours queitly, at a bookstore or coffeshopp, just reading a newspaper or magazine or studying, sharing a pot of tea.
um, that’s actually it. Yup, that is the extent of my list so far. Besides that, I’m kind of cool with...
Young firm-jawed men in their chucks and peacoats asking for Poetry; southern belles, still in awkward adolescent splendor, eating warm brownies topped with whipped cream—extra—caramel, and chocolate sauce.
The Body. This post may be a little too graphic for young minds.
I’ve recently started taking a fiber suplement to, well, you know be regular. The damand my body is making on me currently, however, is making me crave the irregular.
This is the metaphor if my life being played out on my body.
I would have been you, had I not been me.
I’ve recently started reading various blogs. I know, it’s a bit late but, hey, I’m a late bloomer. Most of the blogs I’ve started are critical cultural and sociological and whatnot. I like reading them (boy do they have huge blue bone to pick with Avatar) but it’s also helping me to realize I will never really be like them. Or, maybe, I guess I am not like them...
When did everyone become Christian??!!!
The biggest thing I’ve learned from VA is that racism, ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and all around intolerance does not come in neat little bigotted packages we like to think they do.
I work with people whom I genuinely like but, who, have revealed to me that, although they are not out burning crosses or beating up gays, still contain within their psyche deep-seated beliefs and opinions...
I miss my Ithaca friends that, ironically, were ten times more crass, ghetto, vulgar, asinine, and outright stupid (in a good way) than all of the people I am around here.
If this were high school, this would be a note I’d write secretly (or in my “journal”) that would eventually find it’s way to someone who would post it for everyone to see and then no one would be my...
I’ve always scoffed at New Years resolutions but, this year, I’m setting many. I think the New Year is a sort of conciously concrete time/space to set things into motion. It provides a clear beginning and a sort of timeline in which to do it in. It’s all mostly mental but, what isn’t. I guess, in my constant attempt to identify myself somewhere outside the norm,...
I thought I left the patchouli smell in Ithaca.
So, I know it’s not particularly trendy anymore, but I am still kind of obsessed with missed connections on Craigslist. Actually, it’s not a “kind of” kind of thing as I make it a point to check it every day.
A part of me hangs on the the hope that I will be on there one day but that’s not the main drive. I will admit, however, that on days when I am particularly...
There were discarded/lost hair extensions, possibly part of a weave, in the parking lot of Wal-Mart today. I didn’t have my phone so couldn’t take a picture and put it in my “cultural artifacts” album. I couldn’t post this on F-Book because, somehow, I felt it would offend people.
I’m a minority so I’m still allowed to present the visual and its...
