Why More Is Less →
jingc:
Public broadcasting, like education, is presaged on giving you something you didn’t know you wanted. If we are effective in offering the public what we think is special, you will perhaps trust our judgment, give the idea a fair go, and then accept it’s worth your further attention. The alternative, as the Internet demonstrates, where most of us find only those topics we set out to look...

i was just thinking how sometimes all we need is to tell ourselves that it doesn’t matter what we do as long as it gets done,the sense of accomplishment is in everything
Risks
taylorfuller:
So last night I went to the movies and saw I love you Man. It was a great movie, but so not the point of this blog… While there I saw this kid who I thought was really good looking. You see, at my school all the guys look the same, dress the same, act the same, so it was refreshing to see this skater guy and man was he hot. But anyways, I found myself looking at him a lot, finding...
Earth Hour
bitchville:
If I turn my lights off for this hour, it will not be to save the earth, it will be to save me money. These attempts are quite futile in the fact that there are millions of people that won’t change. The earth will still head on a downward spiral. Resources will run out, car companies will continue to postpone the sales of electric cars, the ice will still be melting.
Realize that...
hope less
I’m feeling alone in the world again. And I know it’s stupid to feel that, cuz hey, we are all alone, but I can’t help myself. There is no one out there who protects me like I need them to. They are always letting me down. Damnit.

you caught me! could my life be a passion fruit? that way i wouldn’t blame myself anymore…i would go out and live it!
Coping vs. Savoring →
jingc:
Whereas coping well means dealing successfully with problems and setbacks, savoring—glorying in what goes right—is an equally crucial emotional competence. “If all you’re doing is trying to get by, trying to avoid the bad, you’re missing half of life.”
so totally true, dealing with how to not cope and savour more!

bah
why do i always put so much faith in people?????
it’s not like it was something that mattered alot, but i guess i hold everyone to my standards of not letting lose the tongue at every opportunity, and maybe in some twisted way he was trying to help…or maybe he was just trying to show off and now i’m forgiving him for being a selfish little brat.
yes, i do have to take...

– William Jennings Bryan (via bitchville)
aww man….i hope i remember this when i need it the most, i get so caught up in the whimsical version of destiny being just there that most things i want i don’t get until i don’t want them anymore…
notice
so yea, i’ve been bringing myself up to date on matters of fictional characters in drama series, and realized why i like some of these so much, the scripts may be cheesy at times, or even a bit daft…but the truth is most of the time they do say somehting enlightening and it leads me to think that the only reason people watch them is because it’s cheaper than psychotherapy. and...

stop
the always stop when you on top notion confused me for a long time, if things are going so well and you’ve had glory and attained the status of Godlikeness, it must be really hard to grasp the concept of ending. when your confidence burts past the realm of truth and ventures into the crazy part of your soul that starts thinking that everything is going to be better because it always has....

The computer as a burden
marco:
Tiff and I are going on a week-long cruise for our honeymoon in 9 days. People keep telling me, “It will be so nice to be completely offline, unreachable, and disconnected.” Then they relate a story about how they went on vacation or something and had no cellular reception and no computer, and it was awesome.
This seems to be a prevalent feeling. To most people, the computer is an...
silence
i just felt the silence…it was like a wave washing over me,
i didn’t even notice how loud it was until all of a sudden it was quiet and i could hear myself think
it amazed me.
is this how we live everyday? with all this noise that it becomes so hard to hear?
i feel like peace has just descended upon me and that everything is at my fingertips.
it reminds me of beauty and how timeless...
absorb
i’m in love with this dream i have recurringly, i see him from across the room and our eyes meet and for that second it seems as if the world finally made sense, that all the waiting had come to an end and the burning fire could begin to quench the watershed that had been my mind. a flirty smile here, a “what’s your name?” there, and then just as quickly as i found him, it...

this is what i feel like all the time…
missed
and so they say, if you don’t pay attention you’ll miss it…i missed my tumblette debut. in retrospect i guess i assumed that it wouldn’t be instantaneous like pudding, more like slow baked choco-chip cookies. The only proof i have is additional numbers of followers! which, makes me HAPPY. so i’m going to overlook the fact that seeing is believing and be content that...

reminder
there was a topic i wanted to broach yesterday, but the moment i thought it was slightly before drifting off to sleep, the patience to register the topic was nill and the hope to remember it still today was at its max. Alas, i don’t remember, and i need to remind myself yet again, that the moments when we have something to say that is worthwhile are fleeting. more often than not there is no...
