| I've been on Xanga 2550 days. Almost 7 years.
"Taking on seven years..."
I just backed up all my entries. It's so crazy. It's like a time travel with this thing. It's kinda sad how much of my life I've defined by certain trivial pursuits. I mean, really.

| Wow
I can't believe that I still know people that update their Xangas.
As much as I love this thing, I can't believe how separated I have become from it. I mean, all those years of pouring everything that I felt, everything that happened during my day into this thing, are so far behind. The profile picture of me that is still up is from 2005, or maybe even earlier. I can't believe it, that I'm in college. And this xanga just feels like, like middle school. It's such a strange, strange feeling. Updating this thing. Like opening an old journal from when I was 12 and writing an entry in it now. Oh gosh.
But I'm glad to say that I love my Tumblr now.

| I just realized something.
The last time I watched the Summer Olympics I was Upstate. Summer of 2004.
Running to the casino everyday to watch the Olympics.
I had no interest in the Olympics what so ever. I just liked the person that I watched it with.
So we'd just sit there and discuss the games and laugh at the people that stunk...and recall all the best moments.
That was so nice.
That was probably one of the best summers ever.
SEF...Olympics...all this crazy nonsense. Before high school.
Everything was so simple.
I look back now...I mean I couldn't even think back then of the '08 Olympics.
I remember the preview ceremony at the very end and thinking it was awesome.
I remember my friend joking about trying out for track for the 08 Olympics.
And now they are here...
I think about all the actions I've taken and all the things that have changed since 04. It's hard to realize that the Olympics basically wrap up my entire high school career.
If I could go back and do everything all over again..maybe I would change just a few things.
It's just tough to think about this today for some reason.
How the Olympics just wrap up life...for the past 4 years.
I wish I was Upstate again watching the Olympics.
It's making me terribly sad.

| Read The Killing Joke by Alan Moore yesterday.
It got me to thinking. Some of the things that the Joker said really hit me, as being true. I was shocked. I had to stop and reread some of what he said, just to process how true it is.
Funny how a comic, a book with pictures, can have so much meaning?
The Joker says to the Batman, "madness is the emergency exit."
I love that quotation. It's true. But on the other hand, doesn't it just admit that both The Joker and The Batman are weak people? For resorting to the last resort, the emergency exit?
The Joker addresses that...
they're both equally as crazy.
He says, one bad day can make a man insane.
All it takes is one bad day...
It's what happened to both of them.
All that he said affected me.
It's totally absurd that I'm taking advice and trying to learn something from a comic book.
But I don't imagine it as The Joker saying this, but Alan Moore.
And he wrote Watchmen, which I love.
Then again, I take advice from Modest Mouse lyrics. And it makes me feel better.
And The White Stripes.
I take things too literally and seriously.
Maybe that's why I have such a disdain for badly written lyrics that try to pass themselves off as being deep and important.
If a song has terrible lyrics for fun sakes, I accept it. But not if its trying to be real. Hate that.
Okay, I'm rambling.
But at least I'm writing again. I'm happy about that.

| Was reading about Gerard Way's panel at Comic Con 2008.
But I saw some really uplifting quotes by Grant Morrison.
“You gotta remember in the entire history of the
universe … you’re the only ‘you’ that has ever existed and ever will
exist,” Morrison said. “… there’s nobody in existence who is you, and
no one can ever see the world the way you see it and can tell the rest
of us how it looks. And it might be so different and so beautiful that
it changes everything.”
- “Everything you do is
like putting out signals, and the people who receive them, and who send
signals back… those are the people you want to talk to.” It made me happy.
