  • on ten books that have changed/influenced me

          So I wanted to do a post on ten books that have changed my life, but the thing is... that's a really hard post to do. Like really really difficult. Darn near impossible, actually. I feel like if I went past the fifth book I could go on and on forever.      But I went past the fifth book ...

  • this is for all the little moments (..plz rd..)

         I think we all need to take a step back every so often and remind ourselves to notice things. I'm not talking about being observant, really. I'm just talking about how easy it is to get caught up in sadness and start taking careful note of every crappy thing that happens to us while ignoring all the amazing things ...

  • on friends

         Friendship. Wow. That's a broad category. We apply the label "friend" to a lot of people, some of them people we barely know. That kid who sits next to you in Biology, the next-door-neighbor you occasionally chat with, the distant relative you call up every so often. But when you stop to think about who your ...

  • on words of both varieties

         There's something unique about writing. About sending your words to people via the screen or paper instead of via the spoken word. I'm not a big fan of the telephone to tell you the truth. I can think of only a handful of people - not even that, really - that I actually enjoy talking on the phone too. This is, I ...

  • on reality

         I think I said I'd do a post on reality, didn't I?      Yeah. I'd been wanting to write this post for a long time, ever since I read Sam's post about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (what an amazing title, by the way, right?) and it reminded me of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. ...

  • on the bread (or a book I always thought was about bread at least. jewish rye to be specific.)

         I here have news.      Okay, so I was at my grandparents' house, all happy to finally be back home for a while. And I was walking past the shelves in the living room when I saw, sitting face out like it was just WAITING FOR ME TO FIND IT, a copy of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE.      ...

  • on imagination

         Tivo, DVDs, CDs, iPods, video games, mindless YouTube videos and other internet time wasters. All that stuff is, supposedly, sucking all the imagination out of kids. Making them and us mindless techno-zombies incapable of thinking for ourselves. It's easy to think this. After all, aren't DVDs of Dora the Explorer ...

  • on making the transition from 2007 to 2008

         IT'S 2008!!!      Man oh man. I feel like an old person saying this, but don't you guys remember when it was just turning 2000? And everyone thought the world as we know it was going to end. That was a long time ago. I was ten years old. I was just barely in mid school (and yes, it was called ...
