unbelievable

a shift has recently taken place in my life. Things have changed since my latest vague but simultaneously intensely emotional post. That being said, I am still the kind of person who is generally guided by her emotions. I am still. I just experienced an unbelievable moment. The subsequent moment was thick with incredulity. The cause was created by turning on my television, channel unknown. Ordinarily when I turn on my tv I immediately look at what is playing, and figure out my options to maximize my television experience for the ultimate entertainment. This time, however, I did not do this. I quickly told myself to give whatever was playing a chance. Appreciate it for what it is without scathing my opinion by knowing any context. I couldn't figure out what was on given the first scene. But I began to formulate ideas. The first image I saw was a car driving off in an empty and desolate desert town. The next image involved an old traffic light in the middle of a desert. By combining these two images I thought the movie might be The Mexican, a movie I've seen only once about 5 years ago. The next image proved my reasoning and my conjecture. The moment closely followed.

a humble greeting and welcome

hello and welcome...once again...to my blog.

Every time I consider the option of writing here I find myself in some kind of existential predicament. Nothing else seems even remotely interesting. Problems are something that we can all relate to but at the same time must know more of because having them in common connects us all...WE ARE ALL CONNECTED. Before I weird you out too much I will embark on a literary journey to the mundane and ordinary: my day.

I took my last final exam today. It was in German 101. The difficulty during this exam became evident when I had to describe what my professor was wearing in three statements. She was wearing a black shirt with an orange scarf. I know that schwarze is black and that is all. I squirmed my way into describing a Tee-shirt and einen lila Pullover. I think. After it was over I proceeded to buy my friends 2 bottles of wine. I guess that's just the kind of girl I am. They, of course, didn't drink the entireties so they each took them to their respective destinations: Ohio and the Bronx. I drank Snapple peach iced tea infused with russian liquor. Bah. Nothing too exciting....then a stop at chat 'n' chew for some scrumptious teenie weenie mac and cheesie.

it is what it is

make it a time make it anytime
make sure that it's not the only kind
that others find
I've got a mind
I've got half a mind
To shut down the whole system at the spine
With fishing line
I'm really glad there's a grasp to grab
it's only a stab in a wet paper bag
is that so bad?
I wrote a song
it was slow and long
I wrote the words and the music wrong
but life goes on
and on and on and on and on and on and on
