VFest and Reflection


First thing first. Virgin Fest was amazing. Interpol was ridiculous. As was the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Panic! was enjoyable, and Regina Spektor was pretty amazing. The Fratellis made me want to get their album and CSS and LCD soundsystem make me want to have dorm dance parties. I love my combination of luck and the freedom that comes with living five states from your parents.

I've been watching Honey and Clover, and I've kinda been throwing around new ideas. After things have failed, people have 4 options. Try the same thing again, give up and try something else, give up entirely, or wait for the situation to change. The first is a sign of insanity and goes against science, so lets throw that out. The last is too much of a passive approach, which means while I would be inclined to do it, it cannot be seen as the best solution.

So the question becomes try something new or give up. That depends on the situation, correct? If trying something new has diminished success rates due to previous failure should such an approach even be tried? How much must we desire success to be driven to try again? Where is the "logic police" that stops us if our struggle becomes futile? Does this then mean that giving up entirely is the best and most secure answer? Yay for anime-driven catharses!

Join us next time when we discuss about the restriction of freedom as manifested after reading Lukyashenko's Night Watch..

Lyric of the Day:
"Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait"
-Interpol:"Pioneer to the Falls"

Random Story of The Day:

At Magic Nationals Collins and Ryan refused to get pictures taken in front of the gigantic Cho-Manno because they didn't want them on Facebook. Got to love my friends :D

It took so looong. So pathetic.

And Honey and Clover is the most ridiculously shoujo thing ever.

Too ~sleepy~ to address the rest of your post~~~~~.
