Travel Across The Promise Land or The Thoughts Returned From Eastland

The extrinsic nature of humanity always has a circumscribed control over the intrinsic. There is nothing in my being that could explain the nature of my intrinsic. The events, functions, and desires that express themselves extrinsically mold and shape the intrinsic. Science explains this sequence of events as a natural process that takes place and repeats itself infinitely.

Therefore, my intrinsic nature is at the place it's in because I've been captured extrinsically. The events and sequential patterns have found me at my weakest. Does the surrounding environment sway the patterns of the inner being? Obviously.

I've been through several extrinsic events that have warranted the change between this year and last. Captivated. Changed.

Grant me the freedom to express the intrinsic externally. I'd drive to share that with you any day.

First of the Month

Happy November.

Cardinabilenology

Today is a beautiful day. I woke up late, frozen, and hungry. Actually, I'm still hungry.

Despite all the hunger, Ryan Adams and his patiently supportive band, the Cardinals, released "Cardinology" today. Pick up your copy now and drown yourself in "Cobwebs."

This weekend I made the two-hour drive to Abilene accompanied only by the flat Texas road, dead raccoons, gas station coffee, and the drunken voice of Charles Bukowski reading "Eat Your Heart Out." The loneliness doesn't get under my skin. It invigorates me.

Keeping in the tune of my last post, the upcoming election has gotten closer and continues to spark controversy in every direction. Just remember to think for yourself.

Political

I'm ready for this election to be over. Both of them make my head hurt.

I listen to former Fort Worth band, American Analog Set, for relief.

College Biology

Studying for a quiz over the digestive tract is definitely the way I want to start my day. I couldn't think of anything more exciting. Oh wait, yes I could considering my girlfriend is in town for fall break.

Portland's very own, The Standard has been keeping me company.
"I stay awake because I have for years..."
- Play the Part.

Moscow Olympics

Today is Tuesday. Free coffee from Steven.

A moment ago I listened to the one song I've always believed to be Radiohead's best. Most people break down and pitch a fit when I say this. Too bad for them. You should reignite your senses and watch the allegorical representation of death and re-incarnation now

I've been spinning the new album from Moscow Olympics a lot lately. Don't be afraid to enjoy it.

Internet Educational Opportunities

Educational opportunities are not hard to come by. Thanks to the internet, citizens can become authors, journalists, musicians, critics, consumers, and actors with the click of a mouse.

With that being said, if you're going to make an argument on the internet, it's best to make it sound like you know what you're talking about. I urge you not to use Wikipedia when doing such. I will destroy you and you'll be left with no friends.

This does not relate to any personal example. However, I just spent a good hour reading through an argument via music forum. On one side, we have the kid who had the correct facts. On the other side, we have the kid who knew how to make an argument, use the internet, and sound intellectual. Did it matter that he was wrong? No, it mattered that he was good. The correct statement was deciphered from broken English and "lawlz."

I was disappointed. Go back to high school and learn how to write.
