imagination .

Do you remember the days of childhood? Everything I did was imagined. Well, not everything. But you could take something trivial and virtually meaningless -- and turn it into something. A certain video comes to mind here...

Music Monday #11

So this was really supposed to be last Monday, but oh well. I'm wayyyyy behind on posts, and I know that. I apologize to you guys because I know a lot of you check daily to see if there's something new. Well. In the next day or 2, I'm going to do my best to catch up. So friends, on that note, this music Monday is going to be devoted to dabears.

travel .

Given unlimited money and time, I think I would just go everywhere in the world. I want to see it all, and I've always sort of felt that way. I can't imagine staying in one place my entire life. Granted, at some point you just sorta gotta settle down and have a family. But if that plan doesn't work out, I really don't think I'll have of the problem of just going around doing my own thing. Although, that's going to make it quite hard to hold down a job, yes? Probably.

the northern public .

I watched a video that popped up on AOL news recently, and it was about the general feeling of riding around on a subway in New York City. In some way I guess it could have been hinting about the general apathy one has about those around them. There was a video that was there, which will be posted below. But they mentioned how despite the fact that all of these people are in the same place, doing the same things, riding the public transportation; none of them talk, people don't acknowledge each other, and some don't even make eye contact. I can vouch for this. And in all honesty, I do the exact same thing as those people. You can be wedged into a subway car packed in like sardines, but you just sorta avert your eyes until you can get off. People are just another obstacle in the way, not really someone you want to sit down and talk to.

vlogging v. blogging .

It's crazy to think how long I've been writing. But it's also crazy the number of other people that do it. Even still, it's astonishing at the number of things on youtube. You can find anything, in any category. The internet has truly made the world of accessibility virtually limitless. With a few keyboard taps and clicks of the mouse, you can find exactly what you want. Sometimes that's good sometimes that's bad, but that's besides the point.

this is how I write .

When I first started blogging, everything would flow out no problem. Sure, the thoughts might be jumbled, but that happens sometimes. It was all more or less in stream of consciousness. And maybe it's that now I just get more distracted more easily. Or that I'm just easily distracted in general, which is certainly a possibility. But over time I've sort of fallen into the habit of writing a bit on a topic, and then just switching and doing something else and sort of mulling over it while I do that other thing.

i can't wait .

For awhile now,  I've known that Owl City has a new record coming out. The album is entitled "All Things Bright and Beautiful," and I truly cannot wait for it. I keep thinking to myself and wonder how the heck I am going to wait all the way until May 17th for it to be out. It's then that I truly realize that Owl City is probably my favorite artist. I've never been able to say that before.
