How do you know you're going to do something, until you do it?
//J.D.Salinger
That sums up how I'm thinking about this upcoming semester. Rather than thinking diligently about life altering decisions and challenges, my thoughts are drifting off to other places about other things. For one, I have discovered new music - uplifting, energizing, sardonic, cynical, somber, laughable, inspiring. I'm really into various films... most I realize don't have happy endings.

and if it's all a curse and we're just getting worse, baby please don't lose your faith in the good Earth

people say I only hear what I want to... that much is true; people say I only see what I want to... so why do I see you?
//OneNightOnly
why do I think there has never been a Ripley rainy day?
//Marge Sherwood from The Talented Mr. Ripley
I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.
//Alice Ayers from Closer
Tom. Nobody loves Ringo Starr.
Summer. That's what I love about him.

The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life.

Let the wild rumpus start!
//Max from Where The Wild Things Are
and finally,
I'll see you again, whenever spring breaks through again
Time may lie heavy between, but what has been, is past forgetting
Your sweet memory, throughout my life will come to me,
Though the world may go awry, in my heart will ever lie
Just the echo of a sigh, goodbye.
//John Whitaker sings from Easy Virtue
It's time for me to be serious and work my ass off like I know I can. The resolutions that I made for the new year are very attainable and I fully intend to try and improve in all aspects of my life...
You see, being 21, knowing what it feels like to fail and do poorly, and having high standards for myself really puts my life into perspective. Here is to hoping that 2010 really turns out for the better.
Now that? All
those thoughts were completely my own.
I take credit for none of those photographs.
You know when your thoughts are like stuffed inside your head, but they are all folded in on each other so when you pull one out, the rest are pulled along with that one? Like the first tissue in a box of Kleenex - you can't ever pull out ONE tissue, you are pulling out the rest of them and then its just a chain of these tissues folded in on one another...
