Spring Break Advice

If you're like me, your spring break is already over, but I'm sure there are many who are just beginning their break or are looking forward to it eagerly. Well, if spring break is on the frontals or your brain, this blog is for you. I simply want to direct you to some entertaining sources of advice for the break. First things first, let's talk about safety!



but if you don't give a care about safety and are looking for some crazy parties, be warned. this could be you...



...also, get him to do it for you.

Also, while looking at these 2 video stills, I just noticed an odd sort of correlation between the featured figures. it must be the sunnies.

Tarzan and the Trappers (1958)
By Gordon Scott, Eve Brent, Rickie Sorensen

Titles constrain me too much.

I think that perhaps I have a fear of controversy or intellectual conflicts. Perhaps that's why I haven't posted anything mildly controversial (or anything at all) on my blog. I think that I may fear someone would actually read it, disagree, and be better equipped to argue their opposing point of view. Does anyone enjoy being wrong in their beliefs? And is there anyone who would enjoy speaking the truth only to be less convincing than a liar?

I'm not sure what has changed...perhaps I have lost a mental discipline I once had or simply plateaued in my intellect some time ago. My family and many of my peers have always considered me to be "smart" - a person of exceptional knowledge and mental ability, but I have not felt as much so in recent years. This is due largely to the speed at which my mind seems to function. I feel I am still able to exercise a good deal of skill in formulating and conveying ideas, but it seems these things take me far too long. The time I am generally provided with never seems to be enough. I'm a struggling honors student - never reading fast enough or processing long enough, never making a single point in class that isn't snatched first by another student, laboring over simple sentence constructions while writing a paper, last left testing, and still deliberating over a quiz answer when it's time for grading. Am I simply too concerned with everything? Or have I known my capacity and am not ready to settle for less?

So you see, I sometimes find it difficult to voice my views, especially amongst people whose views may differ, if for no other reason than when I open my mouth to interject a thought, I pause too long to regather my thoughts to words cohesively, and in that silence I feel the condemnation of my peers, losing interest, tuning me out. Either that or expecting something far more profound. Such I have known in discussions before the start of theology class.

But I think that's about all the pondering I can muster now before I get some more sleep.

Everyone Is Out to Get Us
By Far-Less
ROSWELL THAT ENDS WELL

Let's try this. You know you want to do this for me. Just demand them in Lynchburg, VA. They are one of my current favorite bands. They have a very unique style that I've not found in another band.



Check out Far-Less on Purevolume.com

Other good tracks to look for from Far-Less are "Dialogue Supervisor," "A Toast  to Bad Taste," "Roswell That Ends Well," "Out of Balance," and "Garage Band Degree."Their album, "EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET US," is a solid record with few to no weak tracks, and I highly recommend it.

I'm considerably tired. If you have this problem, listen to this with an open mind and a readiness to dance.
