As some of you may know, Paramount commissioned (in)famous director M. Night Shyamalan to adapt the popular Nickelodian series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” into a movie trilogy. The TV series revolves a fantasical, Hayao Miyazaki-inspired universe that deals with individuals capable of controlling and manipulating (aka “bending”) one or several of the earth’s elements – Earth,...

Jumped the Shark
Feeling creative, yet uninspired.
I want to write, I just have nothing to write about.
Working as a tour guide on a boat is more mind-numbing than I thought and less awkward than I imagined.
Cornflakes are not for feeding to your cat, but I can’t resist.

Ma You're Just Jealous
I’m listening to the Beastie Boys instead of reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.
I feel both ironic and stupid. Test in 3 hours and I’m listening to Brass Monkey even though I don’t drink. Self-sabotage? Who knows. Better just move on to some Twisted Sister and think about something else.

Procrastinating on that essay. This little short graphic story is great, I love the flow and art.. and message.
Excedrin, Thy Beauty Unrivaled
As I write (B.S.) my way through this essay that was due two days ago, is being written on something it isn’t supposed to be written on, and to be quite frank can kiss my rear end, I have developed a headache.

Cliche
Hearts and pink may be cliche, but I like them anyway.
Inspired by Mr. Deeds on TV right now and his rhyming skills.
To be serious, Valentines Day has always been important to me. I’ve never had a Valentine for the holiday, but it’s always been a day that my family comes together to tell each other we love each other, a day of bringing in gifts and candy to school and people being...

On Campus
Overhearing conversations is sometimes entertaining, sometimes awkward.. mostly hilarious.
Guy 1: “So do you think you’re going to marry Michelle?”
Guy 2: “Uh….”
Don’t know why this struck me as funny, maybe because it came out of nowhere, they were just walking along, and Guy 2 had just gotten off his phone. Not really a conversation one has walking...

Sometimes I look at things like this and think I would love living in a big city. But I guess you never know till you try and right now I’m in P-Town for a few years, pure Mormon sprawl and dry air.
