1) Life: I think that life is a collage of memories, thoughts, and experiences. But if you put my physiology, views, experiences, devious smirk, (excellent) music taste, and personality, it will not add up to Trinity. I think we're more than all of that, and the essence of oneself is truly ever-changing and will forever evade a definition. Your life is an accumulation of all your decisions.
2) Music n' Media n' Shit: Music is what feelings sound like. As far as my musical preferences are, I love so many variations of rock, and it all correlates with where I am in life and what I'm feeling. Makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, if you're raging you want to get a healthy dose of Nirvana. And when you've just left home you want to listen to some Noah and the Whale. And off the charts emotions? Definitely get me some film scores. Recently I've been addicted to Ingrid Michaelson, Sondre Lerche, and The Who.
Film. Asdfghjkl. The first movie that I really fell in love with was probably Ferris Bueller's Day Off, for obvious reasons. A list of movies that have, ignore the cliche, changed me: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Dark Knight, Fight Club, Amelie, and so many others. Movies are near and dear to my heart and movie theaters will forever be my haven. My favorite movie right now is definitely Midnight in Paris, because WOODY ALLEN.
Oh, Tv. Uhm, Freaks and Geeks, New Girl, Doctor Who, The Office, and Friends are pretty much me.
3) Politics. Eek! This one always manages to stir the pot and get me at least a few dirty looks. Basically, I think politics are so corrupt. Anyone could tell you that. I don't believe in big government, and the fact that we're debating about issues like gay marriage and abortion makes me mad. It frustrates me that we're still so stupid about such things. When it comes to social issues my views are a little radical. But fiscally? Conservative. I politically identify as a libertarian, and NO, that does not mean I'm a liberal. I'm all for personal freedoms and liberties. Thus, the two-party system makes me a little mad.
4) Religion: Ooh. The biggest controversy. Essentially, religion bothers me. There's a great quote something along the lines of "With or without religion, good people will do good things and bad people will do bad things. But for a good person to do bad things, religion gets involved." I want to stay as far away from propaganda as I can and I feel like religion infringes on being able to think for yourself. When you take away all the doctrine out of religion, you have philosophy, and that's something I like, something I can live with. I like the communal aspect of religion, but I can't handle the doctrine. I can't believe it. It's too hard for me to deceive myself by believing in things that have no basis on things that I can observe. It's too hard to ignore the things that are blatantly in front of you to believe in something that has no evidence. I also think that it's horrible to believe in an after-life. In your belief that you will live eternally, you are forgetting to live now. It's like immortality. Limits can make us do amazing things, forcing us to live.
5) Love: Hahaha. Such a tricky thing. The way I see it, there are so many different kinds of love, different shades. For instance, I don't love my mom the same way I love my dad, nor pizza. Love is hard for me. The way I feel and what I say never seem to match up. But if I'm particularly sarcastic around you, rest assured it's because I like you. Sarcasm makes the heart grow fonder. I don't know all that much about love, honestly. I think I do, but of course my knowledge stems from The Graduate, couples I see in public, and books. "If love is just a game how come I've never won?" I don't know, Charlie Fink, you tell me. I think love comes when it wants and leaves when it must, and I'm completely okay with that.
Also, on a slightly trivial note, I'm not a big believer in zodiacs. Compatibility and personality based on the position of the sun when you were born? No thanks. I don't think everyone born in the same month could be the same person and live the same life. Call it what you want, but you see what you want to see.
I didn't offend you too much, did I?
