My Roommates are anti-social-weirdos
Dear roommates,
What the fuck are you doing in your room all day? I hope that its okay if I tell everyone that you guys sit in your room and masturbate furiously. I sincerely haven’t a clue of how you can get off sitting in your room surround by- whatever you do- all day, every day. Is it really fun in there? Also, I understand that you ‘cannot see’ the trash you leave behind...

Who to Delete?: An analysis on 'facebook friends'
To whom it may concern,
Over the years since myspace, facebook and the various blogging sites have became common place. Every teenager has added everyone they knew at least once. Over time, the ‘1000 friends’ people had when they were young transcend into their older years. There are literally thousands of interactions going on every moment. Who is worth reading about? The social...

I wish I was a fish in the sea
This is a little tune I wrote as an Appalachian folk song.
I wish I was a fish in the sea
I wish we were fishes in the sea. I wish we were fishes in the sea. If we were fishes in the sea: there’s no place we’d rather be, If we were fishes in the sea.
I’d swim to the other coast. I’d swim to the other coast. On the other coast: is the girl I love the most I’d...

My New Favorite Activity
I’ve found that driving in the suburbs blasting groovy tunes while waving at joggers and little kids is basically the most fun thing to do in the world.
Holy shit, these people think I know ‘em.

The Hipster: An analysis
To whom it may concern,
All cool people have a little ‘hipster’ in them i.e. fashion, ideology or music taste. Whenever cool people start doing cool things, there is always a race by those searching for a in-crowd of their own. Being a hipster used to be somewhat exclusive. There was not a certain type of shoe, haircut or eyewear that unified the group but a sense...

Arguing Yourself into Enlightenment
To whom it may concern,
There are perpetual arguments that have forever plagued the human race. Most of those arguments are too complicated for compromise. However, all too often people see an argument in black and white. There is an assumed ‘right’ side and ‘wrong’ side. This mentality changes people from being humble debaters into combatants. When people stop...

Amendment one: Why I do not vote.
I have heard about the Amendment One fiasco, but I do not care enough to vote; I do not vote. When I tell people that do not vote (no matter the issue) they freak out and accuse me of being an ignorant asshole (which ironically, is same name the opposing party calls them). It is not because I do not believe in democracy, unity or even globalization; I sincerely want equality for everyone. If we,...

Technology and its Effects on Society.
There are three different kinds of people who care about using technology. The most noticeable one cares too much. In the next group are those who actively avoid it. The final type of person enjoys technology and the benefits it brings. It is important to remember: a phone, car, and computer are items that are bought and not an extension to one’s self. Great advertising and corporate...

Bad Reputations - Insane Situations
Dear Reader,
I met a wonderful girl the other day. We talked all afternoon and into the night. She was interesting, relatable and very attractive. Although we have only spoken one time, it seems that we have more in common than anyone that I have met in Boone. I sure hope that she feels the same way.
Regards,
Bruce

Reading Through Memory Lane
I was googling different keywords and rediscovered a blog that I used to write in over seven years ago. I decided to read through it in it’s entirety because I’m in college and I should be ‘more wise’ now.
My first blog was on Xanga back in 2005 when I was 15 and as far as most blogs operated by teenagers are concerned, it was riddled with spelling/grammatical...

Life's not mine: we got time
I wrote this tune about drugs, lots of drugs.
Life’s not mine: we got time
Don’t ask me about reality, because it’s all in your head. We’re just trying to do the best we can, before we end up dead. As you see, it’s a philosophy: that we don’t have very long. So excuses me, if you disagree: ‘cause I could be wrong.
Mr. trippy-hippy from the suburbs:...

Present Company: Sometimes friends are mean
Somedays I want to rip out all my hair, burn all my clothes and walk far away. It’s not that I hate who I am, rather, I feel self-conscience after considering how people judge each other. In the end, finding people who are unique, kind and intelligent is not easy.

What is College Worth?
It’s just a secret handshake, dude.
You won’t learn much. You won’t focus on a marketable skill. You won’t be any more qualified to work any particular job. But you have to go learn the secret handshake.

Another Ticket
Just in case you are wondering:
Throwing a beer bottle = 430 dollar littering ticket
Living: with Yourself
That’s it, I’m done. There is no one in particular that I’m talking to; I’m open for all options. What I should do is: listen up and do what I want to do. I’m finished with trying to meet new people, there’s nothing wrong with the people who I already know.
\on a separate note.
There was a pretty girl whom I kinda held the door open for today at...

1. Writing: The Ideal Reader
There’s an audience out there, the ‘ideal’ reader per se and every paper is written to them. The ideal reader transcends gender and race; it does not even represent a particular age, style or type of person. The ideal reader is always characterized by what they do not know. Most text books suggest to envision the ‘average’ person as being the ideal reader. In the...

TOM's shoes: Pros and Cons
Men: They look hideous on guys and make them look like flaming homosexuals; unless there’s a group of guys who actually are homosexuals and trying to make a statement, then it would just be ironic.
Women: Tom’s are really cute on girls; unless the girl is really fat, cause: kankles.

The Great War
The Great War (unfinished)
Some think the worst news always travels by air,
they see this world, but they never been there.
When they see these problems, the pain and woe;
They may sympathize, but could they ever know:
That when we called, and the taxis came.
It may have been sunny, there may have been rain,
but a thousand miles seems pretty far.
In the passenger seat, in a taxi car.

“Everybody loves somebody to hate” - Hang it Up The Ting Tings
The world needs “Other” people to believe in ridiculous religions, to listen to the crappy music, to leave us comments on our clever videos and follow us on Tumblr. These “Other” people give us a baseline for what lies in between ‘normal’ and ‘us’. After a few years of...

She kind of looks like LADY GAGA
SO, how the hell do I talk to the coffee shop girl without being weird?
She’s the cutest thing in the entire world, but we don’t know each other. I just drink coffee there and she just works there. I came to the conclusion after years of restaurant experience: talking to some random person while you should be working is always annoying. SO, I figure anything I would say probably will...

A mini essay on the effects of WW1 on Russia
‘The War to End all Wars’ has been the most devastating example of the loss of human life the Western World has ever seen and hopefully will ever see. The years before and directly preceding World War One gave way to what are considered as the “crisis years” (1890-1918). In addition to the physical destruction that was left in the war’s wake was the breaking apart of various empires such as the...
