Here's an exercise for you:
1. You have to be alone.
2. Put on something emotional. Music that is. I mean the absolutely most bittersweet, I-want-to-dissolve-into-nothing, world loving, world hating music you can think of. Its different for everyone. It should also be something epic. Don't forget, bittersweet. For me, it's Pink Floyd's "High Hopes."
3. Now, go to MSNBC's "Week in Pictures" feature. You can go through MSN, or just google "week in pictures."
4. Play said music and look at said pictures. If it works, you might feel alive. It's also possible that you feel despair. Or an amazing mixture of both.
Music is power. Seeing is tasting. Living is good. And never quite enough.
I'm not trying to be pretentious.

So, this is what you're doing instead of writing that thesis? Crying in your study listening to sad music, looking at sad pictures.
Strong Sad.
Ummm, but I don't want to cry little Joe. I want to be happy and dance around all day with little goats. Happy little goats...all day long. Ahhhh...
Darn writers. Always wanting to talk about feelings. (Or is that psychologists?)
Why no blog for oh so long? I miss blogs...yes I do...
