| man, three day weekends are the shit. i've already forgotten what it's like to work.
the only thing that could have made this better is if YOU were here to enjoy it with. and by YOU i mean my stupid one :D
i don't know why i wrote that. i don't even call you my stupid one. it just seemed like a cute thing to call you. you're stupid :]

| i feel like writing today but have no inspiration. i'm looking at my room and what i REALLY want is to get up and clean it. and really it would only take me all of 20 minutes or so - if that - but another part of me just wants to sit here and wait for my room to clean itself. is anyone else getting attacked by ants? for some reason, my room never gets attacked when i'm at school but every summer the ants come marching in. it's ridiculous. wow, just looking at this entry is already boring me and i'm the one writing it. it's not that my life is is drab, it's just ordinary.
i finally got a listen to the new offspring, weezer, coldplay, and atmosphere albums this week. my favorite was weezer's red album. i really should try more to stay in touch with music because there is a lot of good stuff in there hiding amongst the crap. coldplay i had higher expectations for but that's ok because i think coldplay makes music that grows on you. i never really like any of their albums at first so i listen to it once or twice and put them away. later on down the road i listen to it again and for some reason it will sound better. perhaps it the familiarity of it.
i think familiarity is a powerful feeling, especially in my life. it's comfortable to hear an old song that you still know the words too or see a place that was significant in your life that you haven't visited in a while. even people can be familiar. i have old friends that i don't talk to much anymore, but when we get together it's like we just hung out yesterday. things like that feel special. despite all of this, i'm afraid of things becoming TOO familiar. life becoming too repetitive. after writing this, i feel like i'm being ungrateful. like the person who asks for something and complains when they get it (you know what i mean. "why do guys always hit on me at clubs?" becoming "why isn't anyone paying attention to me" or "i wish i had more time to myself" becoming "i'm bored" and vice versa. i'm afraid these examples might have sucked).
anyways, i totally went off on a tangent. check out atmosphere's song "you." it's one of those songs i want to play over and over. it's a working class song full of good lines. "you don't know you."
anyways, i'm satisfied now. i managed to write just enough for my own benefit. if you read this i probably wasted a bit of your life. HAH! you're all bound to waste some of my time sooner or later so here's some advanced revenge. here, have this picture i found on my computer that was labeled UNSTOPABLE KILLING MACHINE to justify the reading.
 clearly a product of the army's newest top secret training. | | |

today i watched 12 films on love that were directed by oliver dohan. they're a classy set with black and white film, parisian backdrops, and terrible dubbing. they lead into one another in a sense and almost made me feel like i was watching a foreign flick. except if that were true i would definitely go with subtitles. commissioned by cartier, they showcase pieces in color. i mostly noticed the love bracelet though. i think the thought behind it is both scary and a bit comforting at the same time. it's a mixture of bondage and security and a strange bracelet to be sure. still, what it stands for is kind of nice in the end. the twelve films are titled:
The Declaration, Forgiveness, The Kiss, Infinite Love, Hero of Love,
First Love, A Life of Love, A Loving Liaison, Love on Hold, Knowing
How…, Seduction, and The Decision
and are in order. still, if you don't have time to watch them my personal favorites are
*The Kiss - extraordinary camera work. there's one point where the girl seems like she's leaving but goes right back into the man's arms. that's a really good moment to me.
*A Life of Love - has a good story behind it. there's a line in it which addresses some of my biggest fears. "i'm spending my life with the man i love, not with the idea of what i could have loved." i watched it twice just to hear the woman say it again. even with the bad dubbing. that line kind of made my day.
*Love on Hold - just because holding someone like that close to you despite going through life and meeting others, getting married, and just living for so long is an amazing thought.
I thought The Decision was a bad way to end the series, but often times in life that's what happens. it ties in well with the first of the series, The Declaration though as it comes around full circle in the end. I hope that one day i can make the person i spend my life with as happy as the woman in A Life of Love.
good night.

| Lately I've noticed that I've slipped back into being unmotivated. It seems like I can only bring myself to do things I have to do and the willpower it takes to do something I want to do is missing. Even now, I told myself that i would go upstairs and study and here I am complaining that I don't do the things I want to do while I'm on xanga. Balls.
 no?
what motivates you?

| The Submarines
You, Me, & The Bourgeoisie (boo-ju-wah)
You two get me every time. Just listening makes me want to buy your t-shirt and a poster to let you know that people adore you and want you to keep making music.
Please listen to it. It is seriously glorious. To me at least. Even their new website is cute (in a heterosexual way). The flowers are links. Awesome. They no longer have their story about their first album Declare a New State on the website but it is a really good story and I'm sure it's out there somewhere. If you can't find it I can give you the general gist of it if you're curious. Anyways, this is the first album that The Submarines have worked TOGETHER on and it rules so far.
Oftentimes life doesn't go the way you had planned it out. Despite the way you envision and plan your life to go things just happen that need adapting to. It happens to everyone. How do you react to things like this? If you're able to read this, you're blessed with good fortune (and not just because my writing rules), so who are we to breakdown?
Everyday I wake up,
I choose Love
I choose Light
And I try, it's too easy just to fall apart
It's laid out before us, who are we to break down?
So light sounding for such a topic. It's refreshing.
