I saw Slumdog Millionaire tonight. It was really really great - and if anyone is looking for a good movie I would forsure recomend this one

i rely a bit too heavily on alcohol and irony
Sometimes I think that we all float around in bubbles.... and you might think you floated for a really long time in a really good bubble... and then it pops
and you end up back tracking
this blog isn't really meant to be understood.
I think that I always look for the worst in people, and Brennan always looks for the best. I think this is really naive of him, and I am really jealous of it. I wouldn't say I am a pessimist - it is more actual people that I have no faith in. I think that Bren doesn't have any hidden agendas so when people do things, he always thinks that they just did them - because it was a whim -
I know from experience that this right here is just the calm before the storm
I feel it coming.

I heard 'em say, nothin ever promised tomorrow today
i have decided with the new year less that two weeks away that I will make a set of top ten lists
today
top ten quotes I have read this year (not from this year, but have influenced my year)
10) They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. -Andy Warhol
9) When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more - Carrie Bradshaw
8) For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. - Audrey Hepburn
7) Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the colour of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes, we can.
At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes, we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes, we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbour and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes, we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "we shall overcome". Yes, we can.
A man touched down on the Moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes, we can. - Barack Obama
6) I was not trying to be shocking, or to be a pioneer. I wasn't trying to change society, or to be ahead of my time. I didn't think of myself as liberated, and I don't believe that I did anything important. I was just myself. I didn't know any other way to be, or any other way to live. - Bettie Page
5) To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas - Edie Sedgwick
4) Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. - Kurt Vonnegut (this one is for brennan)
3) We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime. It's easy. The first girl I ever loved was someone I knew in sixth grade. Her name was Missy; we talked about horses. The last girl I love will be someone I haven't even met yet, probably. They all count. But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. These are the most important people in your life, and you’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years. But there’s still one more tier to all this; there is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these loveable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else, and they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.
— Chuck Klosterman
2) Grace is what matters. In anything. Especially life, especially growth, tragedy, pain, love, death. About people, that's what matters. That's a quality I admire very greatly. It keeps you from reaching for the gun too quickly; it keeps you from destroying things too foolishly; it sort of keeps you alive and keeps you open for more understanding. - Jeff Buckley
1) A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do. - Bob Dylan

what's the difference between me and you
Yesterday at work, one of the people i work with stolls in and says
"I just went to the corner store to buy smokes, and i couldn't find my debit card, and the guy was like - oh don't worry about it, come back and pay me when you find it"
and then she laughed and said "ya right, like i'm ever going back to that place"
I don't think I would do that
I think that right there is a character flaw.
