Why are we always attracted to the unknown or 'better'? Like pieces of metal pulled into whatever shiny, remotely interesting thing we see? We always seem to have our eye on the new products in the store, when our old shade's been doing just fine and hasn't left any traces of industrial goop. Different is what we aim for because different is somehow better. The unknown is always fascinating and the known is discovered, done; the past. We never stop to consider that the strong, quiet brooding type has been possibly silently concentrating on what the wad of what appears to be gum is on the sidewalk each morning at the bus stop because - obviously -, he's extracting the inspiration for the sonnets that are just bound to be brewing in his gelled head. Whatever or whoever that doesn't have a label requires one and we will brown-nose until we can slap it on their forehead. There's no possible way they're just people, who might actually have more than one train of thought and alternates between McDonald's and Burger King. If somebody hasn't met us, they must be internally tripping over their feet to start licking ours. And when they finallllly do, the friendship that will form will be amazing, right? Until they've been done, and you need something new and unknown all over again.

Some people are just so restless. Anything that feels safe or cozy just has to be boring and overly safe. But - and we fail to realize this when our tongues are burning from the scotch shoved between our waxed legs - those are the people we run to when the unknown become the known, and the better really isn't all that better.

After getting my first B in English class (sad sad) and breaking my freaking wrist, I read this article that talked about making small changes to 'start anew.' So basically I'm cleaning out everything, like it suggested - my room, my locker, my blog.

And it didn't do shit.

I've always wondered if only certain people go through 'slumps' or 'ruts' because I honestly feel like I am one of the selected few picked out to have a bland life. I seriously need to do something exciting.

So since I can't think of anything, here are my list of fav songs atm. Download them. Youtube them. Listen to them. Love them.

  • Supermassive Black Hole - The Muse
  • Our Truth - Lacuna Coil
  • Sunshine in a Bag - Gorillaz
  • Feel Good Inc. - Also Gorillaz
  • Champion - Kanye West
  • Heartless - The Fray (they did an awesome cover)
  • Like A Boss - The Lonely Island (HILARIOUS - have a go at I'm On A Boat while you're at it.)
