Ok, so realization. I sit here and try to say im smart, right? And i have debated with eli all the time he he trumps me all the time right? He has done his research, he knows hes right. Alot of the time, i really think im right, but i hav no way of bringing a source. Most of what i say is learned from random gathered knowledge, some just my own take and understanding of things, some things that ive heard but cant say i "learned". Im a productive high. Instead of just sitting there only watching documentaries when im with eli, or paining myself to try to find a documentary ill enjoy by myself...i can do what alot of stoners cant, just open my text book and actually do my HW and learn something that way...i kno this is a "uh duh" moment, but its helpful to have those stupid realizations that you should have had long ago.
Im still deciding whether i want this blog to be for my every whining thought when im high, or only certain ones. i really liked my glee post but im not so sure about this one. This one makes me seem whiny, not introspective and thought provoking. Now, the glee one, while had a silly, not intelligent topic, it was both expressed intelligently and provoked deeper ideas. This one just seems like im a girl. It could be bc im sobering...so maybe thats why im all whiny...interesting thought....
Anyway...we shall see how i decide to limit this...over and out
P.S. With inclusions like the sign-offs ive been doing and along with this very P.S. note, this blog is becoming more of a journal/diary not a journal of ideas...not so sure im happy about that...will contemplate and figure it out....

TV Thoughts: S04 Glee up until E08
So this is how this is gonna go. Im starting this obviously late so im just gonna sum up and then post something about 8.
So basically this season has been this bad. I like the sexy changes to Rachel and now that the spotlight isnt being shined on kurt from the "LOOK OMG IM GAY" field and rather just a "im human, but awesome" field, im enjoying seeing him in the new environment. So yes i do like the duality of the base locations. To point a finger to episode 8, i liked how they finally had it said out to Rachel that "she wasnt in high school anymore" and that ppl make adult decisions and you cant whine about everything.
Its showing the next level of character development that couldnt have happened if they hadnt decided to move her to a new realm. Not obviously you can ask, why not just the character? Well, i think its going to try to a teach as far as it can into the young adult life that is quite extended nowadays.
It used to be you were a kid, then a quick teenager, and then an adult. done. Ppl had to learn to give up on "dreams" earlier and start being a responsible adult. The whole getting married thing, getting out of school into a job, etc. Now people take gap years after high school. Spend years in undergrad. Go abroad again. Explore a dream like art, that they know wont lead anywhere. Or even try for something like that and spend years in art school. Because now people can do that. We are a wealthy enough place that ppl can just go to art school and do that as a profession and be successful enough to survive. But anyway im getting off point.
Point is young adult is the age in mid teens where ppl attempt to give you responsibility like an adult, but yet the feel of being a full blown adult, and actually responsible for yourself, doesnt come for years.
Which was my actual point i was TRYING to make before. That people can live off mommy and daddy so much more now and can just go to art school and do nothing to help support themselves for years.
(In the middle of my thought before i thought i was trying to say something nice, but then i remembered no, i actually do believe the dark thing, not even being high can make me not forget that the world is full of idiots.)
SOOO....now that this extended young adult period exists, there has not been a show, like this one, that has spanned this set of years, thru this lens. Yes, weve had shows where they start in high school and the show lasts thru college. So its similar. But never has it been done from this modern perspective. Following kids, that are able to live out these outlandish dreams, of which are actually done and attainable nowadays! Quite often!
They want to keep a story following certain older kids, in order to show a new part of human life.
Wow....ok....so back to the review. Ive liked the story line, and the new characters. They are each still unique and i dont feel like they are redoing exact characters that hav alrdy been done. The show, with its giant star-actor list, has alrdy ventured thru the trials and tribulations of several vary characteristically different characters. To continue to have new and unique faces is not an easy fete. So doing this is a 'brava'.
The songs this season have also been keeping me quite happy. The finale songs have been awesome enough to keep me happy in and of themselves.
HOWEVER....
Episode 8:
i knew it couldnt go on forever, while the plot actually is keeping me "okishly" interested, while still being overly dramatic in areas that didnt need it and still being more of a facepalming joke of a storyline, the songs in this weeks glee episode did not match up to par with the level of awesome that the other songs from this season have set so far.
(btw yes i had made this facebook status first and this is actually what led to the entire creation of this blog bc i wanted a place to put all my crazy thoughts when high.)
So after re-reading my episode 8 review i need to say 2 things.
One, i need to stop lying to myself about how i see things and my opinions of them based off what i kno other ppl like. It doesnt matter if i sound stupid, if i like it then i like it. No this is not me coming out you idiot. Im not gay. But if i like glee, which according to others is a crappy show, then i need to not hide that and maybe formulate actually logical statements about how the things others say bad about the show are actually false, or maybe a logical precession of its good parts. OR...i could just accept the fact that i dont care if it has bad parts, i still enjoy it.
TWO, I agree still that this episode sucked...THATS RIGHT HERE IS AN ACTUAL REVIEW! It has crappy music numbers besides the Warblers, which i still wasnt even that big of a fan of. Doing a choir version of "Gangnam style" was an awful choice and it sounded horrid. The over-dramatized thing with Blane and Kurt annoyed me, but the sexiness of Rachel did not. Im starting to get pissed at the fact that no one sees this evil blonde girl is the menace here.
And ok, heres something that i can actually agree with everyone else about the show. The people are so pathetic! I kno TV shows are supposed to take extremes and dramatized things to blow them up, but if there are people at all like that that go "omg i need to fit in my dress, im gonna listen to my friend who says i should make myself barf" then my low lvl of faith in humanity is verified. And yes, i kno bulimia is a disease. But i guess a) i still dont fully get how, and b) i dont think new rachel has it, i think shes just dumb as shit.
THAT ALL BEING SAID. The fact that the episode just ended with her passing out, made me hold my breathe till it hurt. Im still itching to know what happens next.
so, theres my review and thoughts so far, maybe more posts like this one will appear later on, chow.

....and so the lofty journey commences....
So it has begun.
This shall stand as an archive for myself forever. Of the times in college where I was in a "transition" period and was self-medicating. Also getting really high. Kids, 20 years from now when you find this with ur future alien technology, dont think less of your dad, i can actually explain this really well. And if ur my kids that means u've probably heard several of my long rants explaining myself. Being my kids actually also means you hav a tendency for this urself. So u might enjoy it. Actually no bc if ur my kids then u also hate listening to ppl...hmm...but i did have the capability of overcoming that sometimes, especially when the info was something i knew i could use for later. So its unsure, maybe.
Anyways, I leave this blog here to be a journal of my thoughts. I know im crazy, and that i think of alot of things. Some make sense, others dont. But somehow i came to the thoughts. Whats cooler to realize is not that i might be wrong, but the understanding of the thought process that led me to my answer anyway. Let that mess with your head a bit...
AHHEM, anyway....im gonna write stuff here when im high and keep it archived to read later, laugh at myself, and maybe if one of them makes sense, to use the knowledge to gain a new understanding of mankind, Life as we know it, and the One.
