I May Not Respect You, But I Respect Your Work

Depending on how it is portrayed and explained, a child’s amateur collage could be transformed into a work of art that is complex, deep, and enigmatic. If you step back and simply look at it, it’s a piece of construction paper with paper triangles and circles sloppily glued on, and it might be your personalContinue reading “I May Not Respect You, But I Respect Your Work”

The Middle of the Night Was Mine

– Patrick Dennis When the sun is out, the lighting is perfect enough so that you can see those math problems, so that you can see where you are going when you’re running, so that you have enough energy to do your chores, or anything else “productive”. But if the point of life is toContinue reading “The Middle of the Night Was Mine”

Second Time Around: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

There’s rarely a time when I feel compelled to reread a book. The majority of fiction books that I have read in my recent years have been teen romance novels, as you would expect the stereotypical high school girl to read. Although I don’t often read for pleasure anymore, I try to make time during schoolContinue reading “Second Time Around: A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”

Macklemore Has Been Stuck in My Head All Weekend

My sister started playing this song on her iPod for me without telling me what it is. Now, I’m not much of a rap listener, but for some reason I’ve been enjoying Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ newest album as well as his original one.

Effy Stonem and I – Happy Alter Ego Day

Coincidently at school today, it’s Alter Ego Day for the seniors. If I had to think of a concrete character as my alter ego, I would probably choose Effy Stonem from UK Skins, Series 1-4. She’s almost the complete opposite from me. She wears a ton of makeup, she is very daring and bold, yetContinue reading “Effy Stonem and I – Happy Alter Ego Day”

I remember him evolving throughout the years, his personal development very evident in the projects that he pursued.

Admiring Strangers: Coffee Shop Girl

I mean, of course I didn‘t actually take a picture of her. Got this online yo She sits alone in a corner booth, as natural light peeks through the blinds.

The Thing About Theatre

This weekend I watched a play that my cousin was in. Noises Off, it was called. My experience with plays is rather limited. A Shakespeare play here or there, but always in English class, where everyone is amateurs and very few students would voluntarily put a little ardor into their acting. Reading them just doesn’tContinue reading “The Thing About Theatre”

If you like it, then you should be able to put a ring on it.

You saw the big red equals sign and wanted to run, didn’t you? You read the title of the post and thought with exasperation, “Dang it, she’s gonna defend her opinion.” Well don’t worry, I won’t try to preach about one thing or another. I will express my opinion, but not directly about the extremelyContinue reading “If you like it, then you should be able to put a ring on it.”
