Brooklyn is burning down the discotheque

I kind’ve just woke up. I enjoy that I can roll out of bed at 9:45AM, put clothing on, grab my bag, and still be early for my 10:05AM class. It’s a pretty great feeling, but I know it’ll be one that won’t exist next semester when I’m living off campus.

A few nights ago, I went out to take some pictures of the Atlanta skyline at night, which in my opinion looks pretty phenomenal. Unfortunately, my camera does not take good night shots, which is a damn shame. I need a higher-grade camera for those I suppose. It did make me feel better, though, after doing that. I proceeded to go through some of my older pictures and upload some to Facebook. I take far too many pictures at the Aquarium. XD But, I’m hoping for some comments on my new photos. And my blog posts.

I wish I had the time and energy (and money…) to just wander and travel randomly throughout the US and maybe abroad. I’d love to do it very Bohemian-like, but that kinda excludes having money to do this, and a trademark of a Bohemian lifestyle is not being materialistic. That’s, sadly, not me – I love my toys and games and knick-knacks. My collections, my movies, etc. =/ I guess that’s not me. I mean, I feel pretty weird about my haircut right now. I have these moments where I don’t mind or even like it, but then at other times I feel like my hair sucks and I’d be better off bald. x.x That’s not Bohemian at all – being materialistic about my own hair.

Hurm. Class is about to end. I’ll probably need to go and get food and run towards the Student Center, get food, go to Smalltalk… I’m really beginning to detest this rat race at this school this particular semester.

Those lines indicate a passing of time. Namely, I have to do these entries very stop and go. It is now 2AM, and I have just finished watching Ratatouille. I enjoyed this movie thoroughly. :) Another movie I would have liked to write about was Watchmen. What a stunning movie – my pick for favorite character is torn sharply between Rorschach and Dr. Manhattan. Both of them are excellent characters in their own rights.

I have very stream of consciousness writing. I just… I write it if it comes to mind. I don’t know if this is a good thing or not. I wish I had more refined writing technique… or something that when people read what I have to say, it leaves a taste of who I am as opposed to words on a screen. I want the words to pop, not blend, to squiggle, not to stand. I don’t have that. I wish I could inspire.

There’s a lot of things I find myself wishing for.

I have some talents, I think. I make people laugh in conversation. Usually through terrible puns, or situations… I can’t DO anything with that though. It’s not like writing or photography or, hell, knitting, even, where I have something tangible that others can enjoy. It’s a fleeting sensation, a laugh, and I second of “let’s keep this guy around”, MAYBE. But even then, some people, no matter how hard I try just seem to forsake me.

There’s something wrong with my head, I know it. I feel like the second half of Flowers for Algernon. I can’t concentrate and I feel… worthless. I find that the cat here keeps me more company than most. I appreciate it, but I wish he wouldn’t move when I pet him, or cry when I hold him. He does it for everyone, but he’s always following me so you’d think I could… I hope he’s happy here.

Nothing more is coming to me, though I don’t feel like any of this writing is inspired. I’m half tempted to deleted everything I’ve written, but then what’s the purpose of a blog? So, here, have it. A look into my head at the moment. I hope I can put something more interesting up in the near future, but in the meantime, I feel like I should apologise.

Also, this is the manliest fucking thing I could ever own.

Back again!

Sorry about the downtime, everyone! I’m hosted off of Khuffie’s server, which he warned me would be going down for some scheduled maintenance (server reinstallation, weee). I think I lost a few comments on the last post, though. :S But, we’re back, and thanks to the wonders of K2 RC6, we’re back with new useless doodads too!

As you’ll notice, if you scroll on the main page, the thingy at the top follows you. Click “Older” and a scrolling bar shows up to scroll through previous months – spiffy. The search bar on the right is a live search – just type and wait a second and it’ll show up with results. There’s an RSS feed to recent posts, now, too. :) Also, I added a spam filter to the comments of the site, so if you can’t comment (this was the case last time nobody could comment – the spam filter went Terminator-crazy and wouldn’t let ANYTHING through), alert me, k? Shouldn’t have that issue this time though.

I haven’t really much else to add, other than I missed being able to get to Atlanta and hang out with everyone, which is upsetting. u.u So… I’ve been entertaining myself with old animated films and the like that were/are touching. I’ll post about them later, if I remember. Also, Earthworm Jim. So much fun – I forgot that was so awesome. XD

I saw Iron Man and then Speed Racer recently. Iron Man was incredible – Robert Downey Jr was perfect for the role, and the special effects were top-notch…. but Speed Racer’s CGI was so, so much better. Speed Racer really nailed the futuristic, super-saturated colorful world, blending it with an anime feel, great actors and humor, and gave it the campy, quirky feel that movie needed and deserved. The movie felt animated. That was the important part. And if racing was that KICKASS in reality, I’d watch it. The choreography and action was fantastic – I want to have an excuse to go see it again. :) Next… I have Indiana Jones to look forward to (!!!), then The Incredible Hulk, and WALL*E… and if I decide to do it, The Love Guru, Get Smart, and You Don’t Mess With The ZOHAN. And in August… Star Wars: The Clone Wars…. Yay movies!

Okay, that’s all I got. XD

EDIT: Found something pretty upsetting. Microsoft IM servers are blocking YouTube links as of last night. This would explain why it seemed like none of the videos I was linking to Jessica and Tricia were going through – they weren’t. Completely monopolistic bullshit. I tried this myself with Khuffie – neither his nor my links went through. There’s a loophole, though – you can remove the “http://www” from the front and it still works. And, I guess, if you wanted you could always just send the random letters at the end to affix to the youtube url (like “oHg5SJYRHA0″, for instance) – there’s no way they could block that. Still, this upsets me greatly. The article speculates that Microsoft is attempting to block competition, as Messenger TV launched in 20 countries today… I just hope it’s a corporate fuckup rather than MS being truly evil. Others have been reporting that deviantart links are blocked too! Makes no sense…
