again, the worst...

...blogger ever. I wrote this really long post with highlights of my life from the past three months, but alas, technology has foiled me again and I had to go somewhere so I "saved" my post but when I went back to finish writing I discovered it didn't really save. And sense I am kind of lazy sometimes I didn't feel like rewriting it, so I gave up.

But now I'm sitting on the couch watching the Live Earth broadcast on Bravo and I thought to myself, "What other thing should I do while I watch super rich people tell me to spend more money to save the earth so they can make more money?" So I decided to blog about how I'm watching Live Earth and blogging because I haven't blogged in a while and it's about darn time.

I don't want to get into a big global warming debate because 1. I don't like debates and 2. I don't really know enough about science and globality to have an intelligent debate (and maybe it's just me, but I like to know about what I'm arguing about when I argue about something). I have my opinions and thoughts like, "why would watching Snoop Dog rap about who-knows-what make me want to save the planet from ultimate destruction and doom?" but I will keep those thoughts to myself, because I'm just polite like that. Sometimes I want to say my opinions but then I think twice because I realize they're just opinions and it doesn't matter what my opinions are because every one's got opinions and no one needs more opinions. One of my favorite song lyrics from Modest Mouse is, "Opinions were like kittens, I was giving them away." And you know what? I don't want kittens, I'm very allergic and they make me sad. However, I respect their cuteness and see why people want them and love them, but they're just not for me. I like to hear people's varying viewpoints because it gives me perspective and makes me think about things I wouldn't normally think about. But sometimes I don't want to be smacked upside the head and feel like I'm crazy or silly or stupid for not agreeing with some one's point of view. I don't know exactly what I'm saying, I think Snoop Dog left me in a trance and my fingers are moving involuntarily along the keyboard typing exactly what you are reading this very second. I'm gonna take a rain check with myself on this topic and move on to something else.

I watched the movie Annie Hall for the first time today and I was blown away. I really liked it. It was almost perfect. I'm not sure why I enjoyed it so much. To me it was an example of the chaos of life. Not specifically about relationships, but life in general. The story is about a guy and a girl who meet, fall in love, break up, get back together, then split for good and we see all the good times and bad times they had together. Life is crazy, there's ups, there's downs, relationships (not necessarily romantic) begin and end, there's tears, laughter, heartache, happiness, etc. To me this movie captured all this different aspects in a story of a relationship.

LIVE EARTH UPDATE
What do Rhiana (not sure I've heard of her before this, I know I live under a pop culture boulder) and dancers with umbrellas have to do with saving the world? What the world really needs is Captain Planet. That's right, you heard me. Heart, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water all come together to save the planet from evil environmental assassins. Take that pollution!


Alright, I'm done. Maybe I should quite blogging, or watching TV, or both, but either way I quit.
