Come On and Catch My Disease

[edit] I'd just like to start out by saying that today is filled with nostalgia thanks to music that I've been importing to my computer today that I've had since middle school. Por ejemplo, right now, I'm listening to New Found Glory, thinking, "how did I ever like listening to these guys?" and then thinking, "why do I like listening to them now?"

Oh, the many mysteries of the universe. I hope that one day they can perhaps be solved.

People rate people. It's just a fact. Everybody does it. I do it all the time, I people watch and rate (as creeper-ish as that sounds). But you know what I mean. You see a person, or a group of people, and you subconsciously rate them in your mind. I'm generally either intimidated by people, or else I can see myself being buddies with them, all based upon what I see in a matter of minutes, or seconds, even. I know this is completely inaccurate (in most cases, anyway) and ridiculously prejudice in so many ways, but it happens.

Alex (Mr. Marine Man, aka my best friend in the entire world) and I were once at a St. Bonnaventure/Oaks Christian football game a few years back (also, this is the day that Will Smith and his kids walked past me, and I was so absolutely shocked by his presence that I literally just stood there and stared as he passed by) and we stood at the edge of the sidewalk surrounding the field and watched the people that scurried by.

I realize in retrospect that this is extremely weird, but it's really just an extended version of what most people subconsciously do every single day, like I said.

This was just sort of on my mind today. I was thinking about people that I'd love to be friends with, but I'm intimidated by. When this happens, I always think about how they're probably nothing like I picture them to be in my mind, and that the view from a distance is often obscured in many ways.

Hmm. Did I mention I'm pulling an all-nighter? Yeah, it's 5:46 am. There's no effing way I'm going to sleep now and getting up for Spanish in 3 hours. That doesn't work for me. I'd much rather push through then collapse on my bed at 10:57 after getting home from class.

I truly hope everyone else's days are brilliant though!

Later days.

Song of the Day: "All Downhill From Here" by New Found Glory

Film of the Day: Everybody's Fine (2009). It's Drew Barrymore's birthday! And it was a good movie. Nothing I've ever seen De Niro do, really. I always think of him more as Travis or Vito, back in the when he was absolutely gorgeous. But I digress.
