What do you do when you find out that a loved one tried to commit suicide? Do you tell your friends, or keep it to yourself? Do you confront this person, or let them work things out for themselves?

You'd think I'd be better with this by now.

Faux Real?

Today I recreated a Salmon crepe that I had in Ireland. It wasn't bad, the salmon had been fried with sesame seeds, and instead of a crepe, a flour tortilla was employed, but it wasn't bad.

Am I destined to seek to recreate a Diet Ireland?

Officially sick of hip hop

Can we please start instituting more intelligence in our music? Little kids are learning the cat daddy when they need to learn proper argumentation and how to read.

What in the hell is wrong with the world? Why is education on the decline?

Cars 2

The silver lining in Cars 2 being so bad is that, although I am always quarreling with myself over my favorite Pixar movie, I will never be in doubt as to which is my least favorite.

Cars 2 was the worst thing I have seen since Pearl Harbor. The event. But also the movie.

Cars 2 lacked heart, character, plot, and cogency. It resembled more of the ramblings of a homeless person than the typically finessed stories of Pixar. Don't believe me?

"And then one car is actually a secret agent! But he's british! And the camera is really an EMP, which affects biofuel!"

Yeah. It sucked hard.

It's been awhile

No shit, right?

I've been thinking about what's gotten me thinking. My Pursuit Prof said it best when he said that trauma defines our experience. Being reminded of my own mortality has let me better shape the time that I do have on earth. Through Sean's suicide I have been inspired to think about God and depression, and through my pining for one woman, I have been inspired to think about true love, and what that entails.

I just felt like writing that down. Those two experiences have defined me a lot recently.
