6:00PM

I completely forgot the existance of livejournal.

7:55PM

Hanging out with Emi was a good way to end the worst first week possible.

10:22PM - Uncomon Objects is the greatest store in the history of stores, that's what I'm doing

10:25PM

Can this really be the end?
I kicked that dementor's ass, by the way.

3:54PM

Smyrna is an ashen town,
floating high above the Dodecanese,
with Grecian blood and naked trees,
for Izmir is there now.

In a city that never knew a flag,
whose tongue was split a thousand ways,
sweatshops by the dozen,
tourists in the fetid air.

A wisp of smoke floats by:
Italians barter fish and nets.
The Dutchman counts his ducats.
French poets sing, drunk with wine.
The Armenian doctor steadies his hand.
The Jew considers a proposition,
whispers to his fellow in old Ladino,
and the Greek strokes his moustache.

Rebetika blares.
A Turkish song sighs on the wind.

But the bayonets dismiss and wave away.

Saz and violin are silenced.
Piano and daouli go quiet.
Armenian tongues are ripped at the base.

Aristotle and Homer walk away.


...and that is why Turkey should not be allowed to join the European Union.

7:21PM

In a few months time, I will be teased mercilessly.

8:44PM

downwbigbro3: how much is a league?
downwbigbro3: I wanna know iof you could realistically go 20,000 of them under the sea
sparklycorn: It's not longer an official unit in any nation but it's "The distance a person, or horse, can walk in 1 hour of time. (usually about 3.5 miles or 5.5 kilometers)"
downwbigbro3: that's silly
downwbigbro3: so...
sparklycorn: Let's see...
sparklycorn: 110,000 kilometers under the sea.

I feel so betrayed. Jules Vern, you fuckwit.

2:02PM

AGAIN?! My grandparents are here. The only news they watch is Fox News. ALL Fox news talks about is Paris Hilton. They're at her old school now. Trashy pop culture is fun and all, but not...THIS much trashy pop culture. For days on end.

"The Middle of the Road", by Johnathan Rice. That song's been good to me.

7:21PM - Ben Gibbard

Seat on the stage


Jonathan Rice




Ben!





Look how anguished the boy is...

7:02PM

downwbigbro3: I don't like being a fucking homewrecker or whatever the fuck I am

Okay, that's the only emo post you'll get for a while, LiveJournal.

8:36PM

Day of Silence. That was fun.

10:31PM

"That shit's phat, dude."--Sean Lennon

3:20PM

The 300 was one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. It ran the gamut of bad movies from monster flick to softcore porn. Ew.

I retract the first statement. There were some cool scenes. Xerxces was deffinately done well. The majority of the movie was bearable, but it was still pretty dumb.

7:29PM

4:39PM

Power, equality
And we're out to get it
I know some of you ain't wid it
This party started right in '66
With a pro-Black radical mix
Then at the hour of twelve
Some force cut the power
And emerged from hell
It was your so called government
That made this occur
Like the grafted devils they were

J. Edgar Hoover, and he coulda proved to you
He had King and X set up
Also the party with Newton, Cleaver and Seale
He ended, so get up
Time to get em back
( You got it )
Get back on the track
( You got it )
Word from the honorable Elijah Muhammed
Know who you are to be Black

To those that disagree it causes static
For the original Black Asiatic man
Cream of the earth
And was here first
And some devils prevent this from being known
But you check out the books they own
Even masons they know it
But refuse to show it, yo
But it's proven and fact
And it takes a nation of millions to hold us back

Jesus christ I hate geometry.

9:23PM

My chest hurts.
