On Travel
Ever since I was a little kid I’ve had a unquenchable thirst to go to places foreign to me. Travel was a part of my young life, and it pretty much took my life over when I was 12 and decided to just run away with Sara.
It’s difficult for me to stay in one place too long. I start to daydream of all of the places that I rather be. It gets to the point where I rather stay shut in my...

“So, the whole idea, you see, is that everything’s falling apart, so don’t try...”
– Alan Watts (via cultureofresistance)
I’m not sure whether I love this quote or hate it. I think I agree, but I want to disagree so badly.

I won 2011’s death pool. It’s finally official. I tied with someone, so I get to split the reward money.
I guessed 3 deaths, and two of them came in the last month of the year. I always lose these. I guess I got lucky?

Decisions
I told my parents that I’m going to decline attending my graduation ceremony. I think it’s a huge waste of time and I don’t need the pat on the back in regards to such a trivial accomplishment. They are absolutely livid.
College has been the most expensive mistake I have ever made in my life. At the time of my enrollment I didn’t know what I wanted to really do. I was...

Don't feel like sleeping -
Not because I can’t fall asleep, I just don’t like wasting time sleeping. I could be doing something way more interesting now than sleeping.
On the other hand, I’ve suffered bouts of insomnia in the past and I’ve actually been sleeping steadily for the last couple months. I’m worried I may fall into my old habits of going days without being able to sleep.
Ahh well....

Movie Review
I saw The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo last night. I’ll admit I had pretty high expectations for it, and yet.. I liked it very much.
Fincher took a book that I absolutely adored and crafted a very faithful and beautiful adaptation of it. I’ll even go on to say that I thought it was better than the highly acclaimed Swedish version of the film (which I did not care for too much). You...

On love...
Dare to be vulnerable in the eyes of someone you love. Have the strength to know that the you which has been created came through the full range of the human experience…this includes love lost and trauma, fear and humiliation, passion paired with pain. It is one thing to let those things go…it is another to lose them altogether.

We raise $500,000,000 for Michael Bay to make yet another Transformers movie. But it will only show for one night. And then all prints will be destroyed. So everyone who wants to see it must attend the premiere. Every movie theater will be under contract to show it on all screens. Then, at every…
