My Favorite Quote

By Anonymous -
     A new friend of mine told me the other day, "if you have one leg in the past, and one leg in the future, you're pissing all over the present."
     I can relate to the immensely. I'm always worrying about the things I've done in the past. And constantly worried about my future, and never living in the moment. I'm sure someone else has said this quote, but it's the first time I've heard it. I go into "extesential crisis mode" pretty often. I'm thinking about how time only goes forward and there's no stopping it. I'm thinking about in inevitable mortality and that someday me and everyone I love will die. So instead of living my life and having fun, I'm sitting here willowing impn these thought. This quote opened my eyes and now I actually have something to go by. Something to label these feelings. But trust me, these feelings go way deeper, like I'm digging and digging.  But I prefer not to think about them, yet they somehow creep into my head. I'm going to at least try to stop digging and live in the present and make every second worth something.

    Dear Sarah,
    I find this quote very unique. I still hold on to my past. I still lay in bed at night wondering why I kept trying to hug everyone in preschool. If you ever have trouble letting go, just think of something like how we're so close to winter break or how Yuri on Ice always gets a new episode every Wednesday at about 3:30. It will keep your mind off of stuff like death. It helps. (and if that doesn't work, binge on candy while watching your favorite show)

Beastkeeper - Kat Hellisen

By Anonymous -
    Over the summer I read Beastkeeper by Cat Hellisen. In the book, our main character, Sarah, moves in with her distant grandmother. Sarah comes from a cursed family, where as soon as they fall in love, they transform into a beast. After Sarah's mother leaves her father he starts turning. Something to note, the curse takes over when you fall in love but the other person doesn't love you back. After Sarah's father starts Turing, he drops her off at her grandparents place, whom she thought were dead. She then meets a boy named Alan.     That's just a little piece of the book. I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy. This book was god-awful.

My Worst Aurgument (With Danny DeVito)

By Anonymous -
     I dont really get into arguments. If I did I don't remember them because my memory is crap. So I'll make something up. It's the summer of 73' and me and Danny DeVito are sitting on the front steps of the ice cream shop. We start to talk about school and family, then all of the sudden, he says, "wait a minute, you stole my Johnny Bench baseball card, didn't you?" Why would I do that? It's his favorite card. I wondered why he would think that. He got so mad, his face turned red. I start to say that I didn't do it. Before you know it it's a heated argument over some card. He pushed me so I pushed him back. He then storms off. We didn't speak for a whole year and a half. I remember, in January of 1975, he comes up to me and says, "turns out, I forgot that I put my card in the birds nest in front of my house. Want to be friends again?" I evaluate  the situation, and I'm all for it and we resume our friendship. To celebrate we ...

Ukrainian Hip Hop

By Anonymous -
     I love all kinds of music; rock, pop, alternative, jazz, rap, Ukrainian hip hop, all kinds. I just really love music. Music is my life. It makes me feel happy, sad, relaxed. I play music and I write music. It's so great. If you've ever listened to music, you'll know that it makes you want to dance. I don't know why we can the impulse to dance then we hear that funky fresh music (sorry). The other day I was playing that dank Seinfeld theme on my piano, and I was just jamming to it. A bit later I hoped in the shower and realized that the lit theme song was still in my head. So I decide it was a good idea to dance in the shower. Well I slipped and fell. I fell because I was dancing to the Seinfeld theme song, which was playing in my head. Wow. I have no idea why I thought it was a good idea. I guess I wasn't cognizant as to what I was doing. What is some kind of music you like? Might I recommend some Ukrainian hip hop, it's pretty great.
