A Singular Meaningless Rant

So...I'm just sort of sitting here wondering about the rest of my life. I've got this idea about how things are going to feel. There's no plan, see. I'm not exactly sure what it is that I'm doing, but there's a round-about sort of way that I'm figuring it out. It's not that I'm worried, because I'm not. I know it's all going to eventually fall into place and I don't mean that in a half-assed victim of Karma sort of way. I guess I just trust it. Whatever it is, this thing that I've got, I trust it. 

Sorry if none of that makes sense, but it's been rattling around in my head. Needed to shake it out. 

Put Aside The Intellectual Stimuli

For those of you who have seen Ice Harvest, Bullets Over Broadway, and Grace is Gone , you know that John Cusack is one of the better actors we've got flying just below the radar. There is one thing that is quite bothersome to me, though, and that is the lonely hill upon which I stand. Let me fill you in...

A long time ago, I was out for a random evening of time-killing (read: nothing to do on a Friday night except hit Borders, then Jack-In-The-Box, and drive around) with a friend who shall remain nameless. We were sitting in her car and I had a Perrier. She asked me what I was drinking and I jokingly said "Peru!" to which she in turn replied...

"You mean Perrier?"

I died a little inside, which is why I need to spread the word. One of my favorite movies, and one that J.C. possibly regrets, is Better Off Dead. A side-splitter about the anguish of a break-up and in a completely dysfunctional situation. If you have not seen it, I personally guarantee that it'll make you laugh.

See?

 

For Those Only Watching The Olympics...

Just wanted to thank the Angels for thoroughly destroying the Yankees this weekend. Though they're not really my team, anyone who can teach that holier-than-thou ball club a lesson is alright in my book. 

P.S. I don't hate the Yankees. I really don't. 

For Good Measure

I've decided that since I haven't posted something in a little while (and frankly I have nothing else to write about at the moment), that it's time to post another playlist. These are all just songs I've been listening to a lot lately. 9, 10, and 11 are few favorites that have been in heavy rotation lately while the rest are relatively new to my library. Please enjoy.

1. Carolina Liar "I'm Not Over"
   
2. Throw Me the Statue "Lolita"
3. Katie Herzig "Sweeter Than This"
4. Imogen Heap "Not Now But Soon"
5. Blind Pilot "Go On, Say It"
6. The Wombats "Let's Dance to Joy Division"
7. N.E.R.D. "Spaz"
8. The Ting Tings "That's Not My Name"
9. Rilo Kiley "Portions For Foxes"
10. The Postal Service "Against All Odds"
11. Pigeonhed "Battleflag (Low-Fidelity Allstars Remix)"

Bottom Line

There are a lot of things that can hold you up in this world. Ideas, principles, morals, and the like. I've been thinking a lot about the things that hold me up. Sometimes people hide behind those things because they're scared to take a chance. Using it to justify the things that you don't do by calling them the things that you "won't" do. I'm not going to tell anyone how to live their life (excluding my specific environmental and social beliefs). What I'm asking you to do here is this: Figure out what your bottom line is, what you're really afraid of, and what your deal-breakers are.
