A couple weeks ago, on the wake of his death, the media/news/whatever you want to call it.. cannot stop talking about everything Michael Jackson. Sure, lots of people are getting sick of it, but for me, on the other hand, I just can't help myself. I am intrigued by the stories I hear. Yet, I abhor a lot of people calling MJ a freak, crazy, whatever other hostile names society can think of. Yes it is their "opinion", though, it's an opinion that isn't fair. It is shaded by the truth they haven't heard. They haven't heard the whole story. They don't know MJ. They don't know the real truth, yet they have the sheer audacity to scream and point their fingers at someone who's just a mere stranger to them.
Seriously, they are blinded by the pictures and the rude comments others make, they create a fallacious interpretation of who the King of Pop is. I wish they could just open their eyes and hear all the facts before making bold judgments. It's not fair.
I wish I could just do something about it.
Anywho, my desk is clean now. I'm hoping it stays clean for the rest of the summer, before I leave to go to Moravian for Mband. I need to organize more and give a lot of my clothes away. I have a shit load of clothes and for the most part, I wear them, but still. When would I really wear that Harvard sweatshirt? At a Harvard-Yale football game? At a Harvard 15th reunion? At a Harvard-I-really-don't-give-a-rat's-ass-if-you're-the-oldest-college-in-America-you-are-just-clearly-overrated-so-shut-the-duck-up. Yeah. I thought so.
In the midst of my "To-Do-List" I really need to stop procastinating. I'm addicted to playing Tetris and wasting my life on the Sims 3. On Tetris Friends, I'm on level 12, which considers me a "Veteran" on the website. Which is pretty awesome, but I believe the highest level is 20. What does that classify? "Congratulations you are really great at Tetris, therefore you have NO life! Stop living in your mother's basement and get a job... Burger King is hiring ya know!" (Hell, I should perhaps take my own advice. I do want a job, though I'm not sure if I need it, considering I leave for Moravian in a little more than a month. It's kind of like, "Hey I'm working here so I can buy dorm room essentials. Unless you have an extra fridge, then I'm set! WaWa embrace yourselves!!"
The Sims 3, don't get me started on that game. I already have five kids and I am desperate on seeing how they'll progress in life. They are so cute too! I have three boys and two girls. I like their names because they aren't those average names where there is at least two people in your class with the same name. Talk about originality. Haha, I'm kidding. But still. I wanted to pay homage to weird names, but not those weird celebrity names where you just want to vomit because normal people don't name their kids after fruits... or pickpockets for that matter. Hell, I'll just name my next kid "Orange Butterfly."
I really need a life out of Tetris, the Sims, and cleaning. Music can stay!
Oh and I just got the book that I am required to read for Moravian. In my registration letter, it said that we could purchase the book at the college bookstore for $15, paperback edition. Okay, so I'm not all for buying a book that I am forced to read. Especially on a price like that where I can get it for much cheaper. So I checked the used book section at Borders.com and they were selling it for about $2.71 (plus stupid ass shipping and handeling). Overall, the book was about $6 and it is in great condition. It looks as if I had the book for two weeks, that's the condition it is in. Plus, it's in hardcover. Great price. Great quality. What more can I ask?
Anyways, the book is called "The World Without Us." It's by a journalist by the name of Alan Weisman. I'm going to read it after I read "Twilight" (I was half way done with the book until senior year festivities became kickin' in and so I never had the time to finish it. Therefore, I'm going to restart it.) and the Harry Potter series (I have read 1-4, each in three days [except for the fourth.. maybe in a week].)
I seriously fucking promise myself that I need to read a book and finish the damn thing. Previously, life has just been getting hectic and CURRENTLY, I've been occupied with stupid things... like I said before, Tetris and the Sims 3, as well as Facebook. (Twitter is a-okay with me!) *I'm not trying to diss any of the above items, but I should at least cut back on them.
I want to restart and ultimately finish Twilight because my mom is borrowing the movie from Brian's mom and I want to read the book before I watch the movie. I don't like to imagine the movie characters while I read the book. It's also like that for Harry Potter. Sure, the 6th movie is coming out and I'm not sure if I want to see the movie in theaters (I'm cheap I like to save my money) but we'll see. I just want to read it because I want to.
Plus, in my senior AP Literature and Composition class, I HARDLY did the readings. GOT THAT ONODY?! YEAH TAKE THAT SHIT! (ha) And yet, during discussions, I was pretty outspoken. I guess it's a weird trick that I have. Okay, actually it's not a trick, but I suppose I just have a fast eye on finding the key elements within the pages. So maybe I DON'T have to read "the World Without Us." Maybe I will. I honestly don't want to make a fool out of myself.
Not a good way to start off the year.
Oh shit it's 4:10 am and I promised myself that I'm going to sleep at a decent time. Sheeet!
