After being silent for OH so many years I've decided to start another online journal thing. And you might ask yourself "Why start again? Surely everything that needs to be said has been said.” I will tell you what brought me crashing in social commentary.
I was watching MTV for one 30-minute show. The life of Ryan- a show that is about a 17-year-old skate boarder. What cracked me up is that in the show he starts being interested in his good friend’s ex-hook up. First off there are so many things with this show’s description already… but I digress. Whilst all these California youngsters hang out in a pool one longingly looks at the other while a perfectly delicate indie song (by some delightful girl with leggings and big jewelry and either too asymmetrical or too symmetrical hair) emotionally plays in the background. I’ll find out what song. This clash of two very different music genres literally made me laugh out loud. Oh MTV. It just cracks me up. The songs could be one of two things- 1) it was put there to maybe expand the minds of those who are watching that maybe there’s more to music than big labels and the radio which for a long time has had it’s play lists planned by money. 2) it was a mistake, and someone just heard a sweet song and thought “Oh this scene has emotions let’s play this.”
Now let me explain my choice of names and address. “I just don’t know anymore” is how I feel right now about most everything. “Life after college” is only three words but it’s looking more and more like a four letter word. And the “lack of definition” is representative of my body and my thoughts and most of tastes. It was available too! So lucky me. So here we are again, talking to no one and yet every one. I’m sure I’ll be making plenty of pointless entries but oh well.
