It’s okay though. I watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.
Directer: Wes Anderson Starring: Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Cate Blanchett, Angelica Huston With: William Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Michael Gambon
I was inspired by a friend to start watching Wes Anderson films. I first saw The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Then The Royal Tenenbaums, then...

I’d never want to see you unhappy. I thought you’d want the same for me.
The sweetest sadness in your eyes; clever trick.
You told me you would never ever forget these images.
I cannot go to the ocean; I cannot drive the streets at night; I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind. So you’re gone and I’m haunted, and I bet you are just fine.
Did I make it that...

I’m gaining a new-found appreciation and respect for Lady Gaga. Somewhat ashamed to say it. I mean, seriously, she’s crazy. But, then again, most artists are.
Interesting? Obviously. Artistic? Definitely. Talented? Indeed.
However, she does remain freakin’ bizarre.

Little Miss Sunshine was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, starring Abigail Breslin, Greg Kinnear, Paul Dano, Alan Arkin, Toni Collette, and Steve Carrell. I think I loved everything about this movie. The story, the actors, the music, the message. I couldn’t get enough of it. I didn’t want it to end.

I’ve begun a list of movies that I feel required to view. It’s getting rather lengthy.
Yesterday I watched The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, directed by Terry Gillium, starring Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, and Lily Cole. This film is known as Heath Ledger’s last, but did not receive as much acclaim as I think it deserved. I would recommend this film to those who appreciate...

On the Last, and the Least
Today marked the last day of my high school career. I didn’t cry tears of joy or sadness, nor did I long for just one more day. Yes, fond memories were made in the past four years of my life, but the fact remains that I still refer to my school as a ‘God-forsaken hellhole.’ “Why?” you ask. “You made friendships, learned new things, were given multitudes of...

There are so many things about which I long to be completely apathetic.
I wish I could surrender my entire existence to apathy and let it guide me through the rest of my life.
It would be easier. ‘It’ being, well, everything.
But I’m realistic. I care too much to let go.

Dear Hayley,
Dear Hayley Williams,
It was not necessary for you to sing in B.o.B’s new song, Airplanes. He is not worthy of your beastly voice. You needn’t be “feat.”ered in any rapper’s music (if one can call it such a thing). Was it for recognition? For money? Or for fun? Do you have a strange but unwarranted respect for these people? Whatever the reason, I wish you...

Why is it that song lyrics always explain my emotions better than I can? Why is it that I cannot come up with the words to express what I feel? Why must I rely on the brilliance of others in order to say what I cannot?
