hexproof: “This weekend a lot of my high school friends got stoned. I only drank, but it was my first real drinking experence. I had 2 1/2 shots of Baccardi Razz that was super diluted in Tropicania Twister” [i have no memory of this event]” “I wonder if I have a girlfriend yet”
this is actually kind of awesome. i wish someone would make me do that now.

i decided tonight, while sipping a vodka tonic, that i am going to write a novel this year. i will offer my unique perspective on the world, a gift to society in 100,000 words or less, holding all the glowing gems of wisdom i have mined in my nineteen years of life. it will, of course, be semi-autobiographical. i will use a lot of alliteration. the chapter titles will be written in lowercase...

stereotyping readers by their favorite author →
i can laugh at this mostly because one of my favorite authors isn’t on it. the other is, but his stereotype makes me out to be a stand up kinda guy.

the twilight of Copenhagen
greatyonder:
(I blogged this on ProjectSurvivalMedia.org and then re-blogged it at ItsGettingHotInHere.org so now I feel like I should put it in my Tumblr)
I just came back from an earth-shaking vigil tonight in Copenhagen. This is the twilight of my time here– with only one day left in the conference, nothing seemed to come of it. It has seemed to fail. Many of us organizers have also started...

Beck also compares himself to Howard Beale, the fictional anchorman from the 1976 film “Network” who famously exclaimed: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!”
“I am like Howard Beale,” said Beck. “When he came out of the rain and he was like, none of this makes any sense. I am that guy.” (via this article)

sometimes i think that there is no such thing as informed political debate on campus, and then i look at the comments section of a diamondback editorial cartoon, and i remember that… yep.
“Litost is an untranslatable Czech word. Its first syllable, which is long and stressed, sounds like the wail of an abandoned dog. As for the meaning of this word, I have looked in vain in other languages for an equivalent, though I find it difficult to imagine how anyone can understand the human soul without it.
Take an instance from the student’s childhood. His parents made him take...

hexproof: no matter how many times i read this article; i still refuse to truly believe the answer.
the day i finally understood this (not the many days before when i claimed i did) was a very proud day indeed. but looking at it now? i’m totally confused again.
today was my first day of waitressing at taste of jerusalem.
everything is working against this restaurant: boring name, poor location (it’s right where georgia ave stops having restaurants and starts being sketchy), nearby lebanese taverna - but it has THE BEST middle eastern food i’ve ever had and coziest little set up.
it’s a family-run business. tonight, the owner, kalam,...

i don’t want to think about this, but “okay,” i say, and start with the stars. i see them not as christmas lights in the distance or spinning balls of flame shaped like clay — but the way children cut them from construction paper, clumsy five-pointed starfish. i think about taping them together, making a garland and hanging it from the ceiling of the sky.
then i think about...

2009: there is an end in sight
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: fuck 2k9. 2010 better rule. it’s ridiculous the amount of symbolism i’m heaping on new year’s.
Aww, Tumblarity can go down.

Matthea Harvey
Rain fell in a post-romantic way. Heads in the planets, toes tucked
under carpets, that’s how we got our bodies through. The translator made the sign
for twenty horses backing away from a lump of sugar. Yes, you.
When I said did you want me I meant me in the general sense.
The drink we drank was cordial. In a spoon, the ceiling fan whirled.
The Old World smoked in the...
