I wish I could have been part of the beatnik...
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!’” ...

Can we all just agree
that 50 Shades of Gray is the most repulsive piece of preschool level word vomit to ever exist? Sorry to all the ladies that have a lady-boner for it, but it really is a piece of shit with no literary worth - except possibly to serve as an example of how not to write a decent novel. And if you’re so sexually repressed that you find that book appealing, for the love of god just go watch...

Knowledge 2012
First: Kony’s army has been active since 1987, it’s no new horror. But of course, we, as American’s, don’t bother learning about overseas issues unless they’re viral on the internet.
But now everyone knows about it, because it is now viral. However, let’s take a second to talk about Invisible Children.
Most of the money Invisible Children gets goes towards...

Martin Luther King Day
Being a white person, it often seems strange to those around me that I think Martin Luther King Day is one of the most important holidays in our country. But to be honest, for the first while of my life, I didn’t even know the idea of racial inequality existed. I grew up in a very ethnically diverse family. I am white, but half of my adopted family are first generation immigrated from...

The Great Burden of Understanding
I take photos like the one above. They have a certain beautiful, simplicity to them. I love them, if only because I wish my life could be composed of many beautiful little tableaus like the one above.
But it’s not that simple. They say that ignorance is bliss, so it only follows that knowledge is despair. I don’t know if I would use the word despair, it’s too intense, but...

What I like isn't always good and what I dislike...
Seriously, have the balls to admit that not everything you like is ‘good’ and that not everything you dislike is ‘shitty’.
There are plenty of things I like that aren’t that good/talented/well-written, but I enjoy them. However, I don’t think that my liking them makes them THE BEST THING EVER. Also, I understand the merit in other people’s tastes. I...

Why are we too lazy to find happiness?
Every once in a while, when I have nothing better to do, I sit down and read some of the various confession blogs that exist on the internet. After scrolling through page after page of the blogs, I realized 99.9% of every post on them had to do with unhappy people, who were unhappy because of something to do with being alone. Everyone is so damn obsessed with other people and with the idea of...

Stop inviting me to your pity parties
My RSVP will always be “not attending.”
