Having been an accomplice to many,
A messy break-up,
I still ask myself,
"What role shall I play?"

And I answer myself,
As is always the case,
that my role,
Is that of the spoiler.

Trying to make this second,
This minute measure,
Seem more like what it it,
A tiny piece of infinity.

To observe what makes this infinity,
different than another,
But I know from my last infinity,
Exactly what comes next.

Clear Distinctions

I found a way to make a clearer distinction between things on Youtube and things for this Blog, now, I'm going to use youtube to converse with Michael via collaborative vlog, ala the vlogbrothers. Imagine something like bromance, but less dramatic, and with more instances of stop motion.

Teach for Something

I made a plan about a year and a half ago for what at the time would be the next five years of my life. I'm down to the last three and a half years of that plan, and the finance sector of the Economy might have thrown a giant wrench in it. I've wanted to sign up to Teach for America, and use that as a stepping stone to further education,or a career as a teacher, but I'm worried that due to the unavailability of funding Teach for America's scope might be decreased, and admissions might become more competitive. I see myself as being a borderline candidate, overall, and I don't know what I'll do if this doesn't work out. Maybe I'll make movies, or something.

White Power

"Working at a University, as a tenured professor, sometimes it's difficult for me to feel as myself, being a white supremacist surrounded by all these intellectuals."

This is a real live quote taken from a real live whit supremacist forum. It's irony is as thick and juicy as a New York Steak.

Tweet

My friend recently insisted that I get a twitter account, so I did thinking that I'd never use it, and basically just forget about it after a week or something. This turned out not to be the case, as Facebook has a twitter application, and now I can update my status with text messages. Needless to say, this convenient marriage of two of my favorite past times (texting and updating my facebook status) has had a negative impact on my productivity, and on my ability to separate myself from the internet. I'n totally fine with these developments.

Just in: Republican Governers retarded

In a USA today story, 4 Republican Governors give retarded quotes implying that they think a fiscal stimulus is a bad idea, despite rampant short falls in state budgets. Republicans are considering refusal of stimulus money for states because they're worried that once federal money "runs out" these new programs will be unsustainable. The Stimulus money is not designated for new programs though, it's designated for programs which have been proven to be sustainable in an economy which is operating near potential (which ours currently isn't).

Dilemma

I have something of a dilemma. I just opened a youtube account for the express purpose of recording moving images of myself for people all over the world to look at, and listen to. I intend to talk about things which by some grand measure are mundane, but that's largely what I already do here. There may be some features of this narcissism which lend themselves to the written word, a and others which lend themselves to visual and audible communication though, so I feel that the confluence of these to media may simply be the greatest gift I've ever given my ego.

Let's hope this works.
