Have you noticed, lately, that everyone thinks they are one?
I have.
Too bad they all fail at properly utilizing the tools of the art…
This isn’t even about my views. I’m sure that it’s been established via forums that I am an immensely open-minded person when it comes to these things, and that I believe everyone is entitled to love who they please, etc.
Rather, this is going to discuss someone near my age who has similar views…although is a [...]
While cleaning yesterday, I came across a box of pictures. In it, I found a bunch of pictures of me when I was very little. In fact, I found one of my first day of school–ever!–and it’s just…damn it, it’s cute. That sounds egotistical, I guess, since it’s myself, but stiiiill! Deny it, I dare [...]
Alright kids, it is pretty evident, I think, that I don’t like to skirt around things. It wastes time/energy/effort; getting right to the point is much more efficient.
Earlier, while at work, I was informed by one of my coworkers that I am, “mean.”
“Mean? Cruel? How am I either? I am only honest. It isn’t my [...]
I do not enjoy translating Cicero’s rants or legal representations.
His philosophy, however, is another thing entirely. De Officiis is one of the most famous treatises on morality–although it was more of a collection of them–that survived, shockingly, at the hands of the Catholic Church. Some Roman literary figures, such as Vergil, were mistaken to be [...]
I was re-organizing my music stuffs because I’m asinine about it, and I came across Scarlet from the Ayashi no Ceres soundtrack.
“Hey! I remember that song. It’s beautiful…I haven’t heard it in a while.”
So I open it and find myself, after a minute or so into the song, singing it. I was almost certain I [...]
I mean, granted, to many of us, I’m sure the first and last terms of my title are often synonymous, but still.
Just a note: This is not a general rant on Christians. Just commentary.
Most children around here are raised in a typical middle-class church. A good deal of the students at my high school attended [...]
I love commercialized holidays. Really, they’re fantastic.
Someone really thought, “Okay, the chocolate industry doesn’t have enough business from PMSing women…so let’s invent a holiday that revolves around chocolate. Also, the card industry doesn’t make enough from birthdays and Christmas, so…let’s combine them!” Cover, let simmer for 7-10 minutes or until al dente, and voila!
Anyway, though, [...]
Although it sounds ridiculous and pretentious, I don’t include myself when reflecting upon those close to my age (I will be seventeen at the end of June)–particularly the ones I tend to interact with on a semi-daily basis–simply because the circumstances of our lives differ.
My high school (Grades 9-12) is the only in my city–Jeremy [...]
I didn’t even make that one up!
Of course, I’ve only seen it use in architectural contexts, but hey.
Improvisation!
Why, pray tell, do people–especially in adolescence and even early adulthood–feel the incessant need to prove themselves? Moreover, why do they feel compelled to do so to people who don’t give a fuck?
It tries my already-worn patience. [...]
