The date & time for the next book club meeting is Friday, June 5th at 8:00pm @ Quill's Coffee. I reserved their meeting room upstairs for us, because they have live jazz going on that night. PLEASE let me know ASAP if you can't do it then, and try to suggest another date/time so I can try to accommodate as many people as possible. The discussion for this month is going to cover Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, and a brief discussion of Lara's books. We have a lot to cover, so I hope everyone can make it! The address for Quill's is 930 Baxter Ave. Lou, KY 40204. See you there!(?)

FYI: did you know that even if you often attempt to rationally justify to yourself how not living could possibly be better than living a life full of hopelessness, you are somehow less depressed if you don't believe in an afterlife -therefore making you in NO HURRY to stop existing anytime soon? apparently that's the case, if you didn't know. i suppose i 'get' the urgency to quickly help someone who is seriously suicidal, but ya know...i just hate how level of suicidal thinking is the standard for how depressed a person is. depression can cripple you in so many other profound ways...

oh, and by the way, i'm "moderately depressed" and lexapro is gonna "fix me right up," according to doctor #1.

Re-reading this made me LOL SO HARD!

I randomly asked myself and my friends "Where will you be in 5 years?" And apparently it was about 4 years ago when I asked it. How weirdly accurate some of it is (especially all the "worst case scenarios") is soooooo funny....and extremely depressing...lol.

I blame my parents for my inability to find joy in UofL basketball. I love my friends, and I love watching basketball, so I wish I could...but it's tough. It's all my parent's fault though!!!

...well...a little Rick Pitino's fault...but mostly theirs.

Anyway...this game is INTENSE right now, duuuude. Exciting. The other games are super close too...

Dear friends:

2009-03-18T19:26:03Z

I'm really sorry if I was a huge jackass last night. For some reason I just feel like I was, but I love you all very much....so....yeah....

P.S. alcohol is not good. especially for me. which is probably why i want to drink it all the time...self-destructive behavior seems to be my thing lately. but the more i drink the more i hate living. just like...living in general. so...yeah...i love being around my friends though! if i could just do that all the time i think things would be better. :)

OH YEAH....

Step 1: Put your iTunes or equivalent on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

~~7. "I am here as you are here, as you are me, and we are all together"~~
~~8. "Waiting in line 'til your time, ticking clock, everyone stop. Everyone sayin' different things to me."~~
~~9. "We hold our breath 'til the morning comes and at last the Sun shines through"~~
10. "Oh, Because the world is round it turns me on..."
~~11. "I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots that my tongue has tied off"~~
12. "I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told"
~~13. "I had seven faces, thought I knew which one to wear"~~
14. "I woke the dawn, saw horses growing out the lawn"
~~15. "It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday, regular crowd shuffles in"~~
~~16. "Hey mr. tambourine man play a song for me"~~
17. "Since you ran away everything is looking great, I'm a little bored"
18. "I listen to the wind, the wind of my soul"
19. "We don't want to sleep tonight, still young like that I count the lines"

I'm not gonna lie, I skipped a lot. Let's face it, you guys wouldn't guess a lot of what I have on my laptop...lol.

2008-05-07T00:22:58Z

you should come camping this weekend!!! we're going to red river gorge, and its gonna be a swell time. i'm not sure WHERE in the gorge we should camp though...there's so many choices! i feel like since we have a decently sized group going that we should pick a spot that's easy to get to, but might be crowded. or we could hike for like 30 minutes and find a secluded spot...what do you guys think?

UPDATE: That map they have over at CNN is great.

sometimes a good cry is just necessary.

"I don't need to turn you out; You don't need to turn me into your whore"

2008-03-10T04:11:35Z

"Imagine, if you will for a moment, that living on the surface of the earth was like living among the fur on the back of a rabbit. The majority of us would probably prefer to nestle into the warmth and security of the fur, living out our days comfortably, naive and relatively unscathed. It is the responsibility, however, of the philosopher to make that treacherous journey out to the end of the fur, climbing higher and further, clutching desperately to each increasingly thinning stock of hair as they swing and sway wildly. The reward for all this peril, for the philosopher and for the people wiling to indulge him/her is the sight of the “great magician” as he pulls our rabbit of his hat, to be witness to the great magic trick that IS the universe and for the ability to yell back to the surface, “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are floating in space!”… For at that moment, once we’ve distanced ourselves from the safety nets of our everyday lives… Only then can we see the true nature of our surroundings and ourselves."
-an excerpt from "Sophie's World"
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE ARE FLOATING IN SPACE

All I want in life's a little bit of love to take the pain away
Getting strong today, a giant step each day.

I've been told only fools rush in.
But I don't believe...
I don't believe...
I could still fall in love with you.

I will love you till I die
And I will love you all the time.
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time.

All my time until I die, we'll float in space, just you and I
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space and drift in time.

I'll love you to death, I guess that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to.

Love don't get stranger, it is what it is
And I don't know where we are all going to.

Everything happens today and that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to.

So the past few days I've been extremely anti-social; a bit by choice, a bit by being imprisoned in my own home by the blizzard, and a bit due to work. It's been pretty nice, actually. I've been watching/re-watching a ton of movies...Being John Malkovich, The Fountain, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky, Waking Life, etc. I like having time to myself sometimes - the past couple days I've done a lot of thinking, a lot of reading, a lot of writing, a lot of laughing, smiling, and even crying. Yes, I have in-depth emotional conversations with myself...GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT???!!?

Yeah, I guess I don't have a lot to say. I miss you all.

Also,

Poppy

I'm not looking for a mommy
Don't seem like you need a poppy
Plenty of time till you're an old lady
And the same for me before I'm an old man

We could celebrate it monthly
How we stayed individuated
Oh kid, congratulations
You held on to your dear dear dear identity
Even while spending so much time with me

I see two blackbirds in the yard
They are paired together
They are feeding
They are flying
They are fucking

I see two dragonflies do the same in midair
There is something
Special in the air

We wake up in the same bed
But with different bodies
God bless our separate heads
Oh desire will run about

That's what the geese were all roaring about
The fact that our love
Is not that kind of love
Not that selfish love

Says what's yours is mine
And what's mine is yours

I don't need to turn you out
You don't need to turn me into your whore

We are not some rutting pair of wild boars
We're just psyched so psyched
So psyched so fucking psyched

That's what the geese are all roaring about
That's what their hearts were all open about

Our love
That kind of love
Unselfish love

7. TONY; EMPIRE STRIKES BACK x: “I can't. It's too big.”
y: “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

8. WHIT; V FOR VENDETTA~~x: “But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty you need only look into a mirror.”~~

y: “Germs?”
x: “Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See? Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion.”

Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?”

14. MEGAN; STRANGER THAN FICTION x: “Because it's a book about a man who doesn't know he's about to die. And then dies. But if a man does know he's about to die and dies anyway. Dies- dies willingly, knowing that he could stop it, then- I mean, isn't that the type of man who you want to keep alive?”

15. ROBBY; SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE x: “I loved a writer and gave up the prize for a sonnet.”
y: “I was the more deceived.”

x: “Okay.”
y: [pauses] “Okay.”

17. MEGAN; BIG FISH x: You are in for a surprise.
y: Am I?
x: Havin' a kid changes everything. There's burping, the midnight feeding, and the changing.
y: You do any of that?
x: No But I hear it's terrible. Then you spend years trying to corrupt and mislead this child, fill his head with nonsense, and still it turns out perfectly fine.
y: You think I'm up for it?
x: You learned from the best.

18. MEGAN; CLERKS ~~x: “I'm not even supposed to be here today!”~~

19. MEGAN; pi ~~x: “When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so when I was six I did...”~~

20. NICK; BATMANx: “I recently had a tragedy in my life. Alicia...
[lays the mask that Alicia wore on the table]
x: “... threw herself out the window.”
y: “Oh, my God...”
x: “But, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.”
[breaks the mask and starts giggling]”

21. JK; HUSTLE & FLOWx: “If you had to say something different other than "beat that bitch," what would it be?”
y: “I don't know. Shit. Stuff like, um... stomp that ho?”

22. ROBBY; NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN x: “And you know what's going to happen now. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.”
y: “You go to hell.”
x: “Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”
y: “Do you have any idea how goddamn crazy you are?”
x: “You mean the nature of this conversation?”
y: “I mean the nature of you.”

23. ROBBY; CONTACT x: “You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

24. AMERICAN HISTORY Xx: “So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'”

25. MEGAN; I HEART HUCKABEES ~~x: “We're not in infinity; we're in the suburbs.”~~

Here are the unanswered quotes:

2. x: “Feed the idiot box. Feed the idiot box.”

It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong.

Most of you probably haven't seen #2 (even though you should!), but I know most of you have seen #24! I want someone to get it! I'll give you a hint: the quote is from a paper the speaker wrote, and it comes at the end of the movie.

FUN!

14. MEGAN; STRANGER THAN FICTION x: “Because it's a book about a man who doesn't know he's about to die. And then dies. But if a man does know he's about to die and dies anyway. Dies- dies willingly, knowing that he could stop it, then- I mean, isn't that the type of man who you want to keep alive?”

15. ROBBY; SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE x: “I loved a writer and gave up the prize for a sonnet.”
y: “I was the more deceived.”
x: “Yes, you were deceived, for I did not know how much I loved you.”

16. MEGAN; ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND x: “I can't see anything that I don't like about you.”
y: “But you will! But you will. You know, you will think of things. And I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.”
x: “Okay.”
y: [pauses] “Okay.”

17. MEGAN; BIG FISH x: You are in for a surprise.
y: Am I?
x: Havin' a kid changes everything. There's burping, the midnight feeding, and the changing.
y: You do any of that?
x: No But I hear it's terrible. Then you spend years trying to corrupt and mislead this child, fill his head with nonsense, and still it turns out perfectly fine.
y: You think I'm up for it?
x: You learned from the best.

18. MEGAN; CLERKS ~~x: “I'm not even supposed to be here today!”~~

19. MEGAN; pi ~~x: “When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the sun, so when I was six I did...”~~

20. NICK; BATMANx: “I recently had a tragedy in my life. Alicia...
[lays the mask that Alicia wore on the table]
x: “... threw herself out the window.”
y: “Oh, my God...”
x: “But, you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.”
[breaks the mask and starts giggling]”

21. JK; HUSTLE & FLOWx: “If you had to say something different other than "beat that bitch," what would it be?”
y: “I don't know. Shit. Stuff like, um... stomp that ho?”

22. ROBBY; NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN x: “And you know what's going to happen now. You should admit your situation. There would be more dignity in it.”
y: “You go to hell.”
x: “Let me ask you something. If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”
y: “Do you have any idea how goddamn crazy you are?”
x: “You mean the nature of this conversation?”
y: “I mean the nature of you.”

23. ROBBY; CONTACT x: “You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.”

24. x: “So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'”

25. MEGAN; I HEART HUCKABEES ~~x: “We're not in infinity; we're in the suburbs.”~~
