Today

I got dragged out in the woods today by my boyfriend and his friend to go play with guns. I did not engage in the gun play, I just played in the woods. I don't want to say I had a good time, cause it was kind of boring, I guess I had a neutral time. I did take some pictures of the nature and an awesome creation I made out of shotgun shells.

Thought Question Tuesday

People really fascinate me, which is why I study sociology. I think it is so interesting how much culture shapes people and how people become manipulated to the point that they act in ways that harm their own interests. The things that people believe. It is amazing. 

My October

So as I was working on my New Boyfriend playlist, I really wanted to make a playlist about how I was feeling and the songs that have been stuck in my head during October, so I did that. I started it before I finished the last playlist, which is why it is done so quickly. There are quite a few depressing songs in the playlist, even though I am not depressed. They just felt right. I am still going through a figuring out who I am process. The transition from being a college student living in the dorms to a graduate student living on my own has been interesting. These songs might seem like a hodgepodge, but I think that is because that is what I am right now.



Playlist if you

Brotips

I just discovered Brotips today. At first I thought it was one of those anti-women kind of sites, but there are actually some really good ones...

New Boyfriend

So I have a new boyfriend, it has been a month or so, so I think that still means new. I figured a new boyfriend is the perfect time to make a playlist so I did, and it has been 90% done for a couple weeks now. I want to blame the fact that I am a busy graduate student as to why I haven't been posting, but I goof off a lot. For example one night I watched the whole third season of Arrested Development.
Anyway, I already posted a picture of Steve on my blog so I can skip that, and we don't have any cute couple pictures so I will be skipping that as well. So I guess I will go right to the playlist

Thought Question Thursday

As a graduate student I am allowed to focus all my energy in academics. Even though I am going to school, it isn't the same as undergraduate. I am not going to school to get a job, even though I will come out as a professional in the end. The job I am preparing for is one where I will do research and teach, which is a continuation of what I am doing now. I think modern America cares so little for intelligence and learning for the sake of it. Being an intellectual, or a scholar means so little. The fact that I am getting to not only continue my education, but I am getting a stipend to live on is wonderful. Even though I am a slacker, I love what I study. I really appreciate that I get to do something I love.

Qualm to Come

So I know I keep making post about stuff I am working on without any real substance, but I am a busy graduate student what can you expect...anyway I am working on a playlist about Steve and I wanna make sure it is wonderful before I publish it. Now I have to get back to grading HORRIBLE papers, but I will leave you with this....

Thought Question Tuesday

I think the better question would be how are you the same.  I see myself as a totally different person from when I was in high school, to be totally honest, I don't really remember what I was like in high school. So the answer, which yes I am taking the easy way out, is everything.

The Brave Little Toaster

I'm working on a post about The Brave Little Toaster, and how it is such an awesome movie and how people who haven't seen it are lame. If you have any ideas about what should be included, like fun facts, be sure to let me know.
