I started watching Elementary tonight after debating what to start. I have all ways enjoyed and slightly connected with Sherlock Holmes videography. I say videography and not stories because Ive never read the books. The reasons for my connection are obvious knowing my personality.
So, I had posted a status saying how I had started it and was enjoying it. A few people commented and i commented back in that conversation, and the matter it covered is unnecessary for my analysis of the show. I continued to watch the show for a few more episodes and then went back to past the following as another comment on the same status, to act as a 'update', if you will, to those who might read my status in the morning.
im enjoying it much more...heis s a bit more human and hes a bit more disturbed, i guess is the correct word, then other sherlocks that ive seen. Its taken a darker twist on his drug usage and having that and this past mysterious lover be the drive to show his emotional side rather than the girl (forgot her name) he usually has his little rivalry with. im liking it that he also does talk to joan (who ive really warmed up to in certain ways even tho sometimes she can get preachy) in backward hidden messages about the description of his psychy like in the 4th episode at the end when he says about how "being able to see the puzzle in everyone" and how its a lonely methodology to live ones life by. I very much like this for a slightly relate to it, obviously. It has given me a good source to quote and a better look at an aspect of myself.
After coming back to this a month later, i must retract my previous statement that i liked it more. After a bit more indepth thought and discussion, the BBC Sherlock is a much more unique and, to be frank, awesome show. That does not mean anythign else i said i dont not hold by, Elementary is still a great show, just not as awesome as Sherlock.

TV Thoughts: HIMYM: Single Lives
Single lives as portrayed by HIMYM do not exist. They just dont. Forget Barney's life. Ted even...THIS IS WHERE I MOVED FROM A FACEBOOK STATUS TO A BLOG POST...especially the first few seasons of the show, the amount of tail he was getting was uncanny. I cannot believe people like this even exist. For two reasons:
One: its wrong and i think that people are behaving like animals if they act like this. Not because having hook-ups here and there are a bad thing for a single non-religious persons. But I do not think it shows a healthy state of mind to be bouncing between so many women so quickly as if they are nothing. Like i dont think it should be possible to hav more than 6 gf a year. It just shouldnt be. The amount of emotional energy that need be given, not even by my standards, in order for something to be a relationship is substantial enough to cause enough emotional damper after a break up that it should inhibit you for a long enough time that you must wait to start another relationship far enough down the line that with the timing set in the best possible way, the maximum possible gfs you could have in a year shouldnt be more than 5 or 6. And thats still alot in my book. Ted is going thru 9 or 10 a year. I just dont believe people SHOULD go thru more than 2 or 3. You SHOULD care about ppl u get in a relationship with.
And Two: Theres just no way...like come on. How can those girls go for him? If they go for him then what the hell is wrong with me? (not turning this into a rant about myself) Theres just no way. Like if thats the image we are trying to tell America is the "American Dream" then we are setting the stakes way to high. To get that much tail, with that hotness level of girls, would be too awesome to ever actually be attainable.
This very much displayed dual-reasoning thinking.
I could have gone so much deeper into these topics and analyzed them more but I got bored.

Short Thought: Transition Phases
This was something i said to my chavrusa when trying to explain the ending of a transition phase and why it can be so hard:
"a transition phase...when its on last strand...its like the idea of "its darkest before
dawn"...the ending is hardest to get thru"
(with small edits so that it makes sense not in context)
After coming back several hours later, i can see how i was just really gone and this isnt that big of a deal...however, do to blogger honesty i will not take it down. It shall be a remembrance to times where im dumb enough to think that everything i say is a golden egg from a goose's ass.

Movie Mumblings: A Young-Adult Peter Pan
This was something I wrote months ago during the summer, when i was still in my first week of smoking. I passed upon this picture that went around the interwebs:
Peter Pan can easily be set that they are a bit older. here could be a good way of having peter/wendy be around 23/22 and it still fit in with the theme of "i don't want to go up", basically heres a modern version.
You start the movie off with 22 year old Wendy fresh out of college at her 3 day of work. She was an art major with a cooking minor in college. She wanted to be artist-chef who's beautiful and delicious creations would be featured around the globe. yet, here she sits in some office building in NY, in a cubical, answering customer support call ins for Citibank. She still lives at home in her moms house with her younger siblings, her parents are divorced, we found out later they got divorced on her 16th birthday, and while most children would kinda lose their childhood, she fought to keep her strong, yet now, after fighting to stay youthful, she's seems like the past few months that war is finally over. Her dreams are crushed, she has no way into her starlit dreamy profession, she's stuck at a desk job for a big bank.
We see her one night going home, all of this realization thats she's die in inside flustering, goes into her room, close to tears and her mom comes trys to figure out wats up, but like a teenager, she yells and storms off to her room. after crying on her bed for a bit, she sits all introspectively and laughs, thinking she's lost the shining bliss of youth and kept the negative immaturity. she falls asleep thinking that there obviously is no hope, she shouldn't get pissed at her mom and its just worth it to giv in into adult hood.
That night, a 23 year old peter pan comes a-knocking and normal "don't giv up on being youthful and lets be children forever" hilarity insures with no seriousness but rather the same childhood glee as seen in the original cartoon, and her and her brothers go to never land.
A similar plot line and wat not ensues but underneath it there is more of an adult subliminal love story going on between peter and wendy, (when i say adult i don't mean NSFW i just mean like u see in all romantic comedies).
We get to the part where tinker bell grows and explodes her house. peter finds a picture in there of a girl. he storms out looking upset and sits on the edge of the tree, to a sunlit night looking over all of never land. this is the first time we see peter acting more his age and not such like a kid, even tho he's 23. him and wendy get in a serious convo and get to appoint where peter explains himself.
It starts like the same story as the original, he was left as a baby, think brought him to neverland…but then it shows him as a 15 year old (at least he looks only that young) boy in neverland, fighting hook, when after shoving hook down and beating him with his usual childhood manner, hook says some sharp tounge serious little speech about how peter will always be a child and never find happiness.. and then in some way it actually hit peter mentally, like hook had never spoken to him in such dark tones in all the time they've been at battle. it got him upset and he started being mentally tortured with it. for a week he wouldnt get get out of bed. he was depressed. finally one night, in some fit of depression, he uses the last bit of a happy thought he could muster, and flys himself into the 2nd star to the left and straight on till night. crashing down on and falling asleep in the streets.
Now, depleted of pixy dust, he loses his happy. and starts growing up. then one day 7 years down the line, he's working as a bagger at Kmart bc he can't get any other job, he doesn't kno how to act around women so he doesn't hav a girl friend, and he's just a loser. so that night he just lying there in bed, unable to sleep, when he stands up walks to the window and flys back to never land. he made the realization this world sucks, and even if its all hell ever do and never find "real happiness" its better to be act and fight like a kid than live the way of an adult and be miserable.
They kiss.
Peter's recollection over, the movie continues, and they beat hook. the whole time wendy is trying to figure out wat she's gonna believe in. in the end, thru some device that wakes her up to the realization that there can be real happiness with normal life and even if its not exactly wat u wanted u can always keep the inner child alive and there is always a way to make that dream come try, even if not to the exact way as originally wanted.
Peter doesn't like this. Im going with a more dark idea here that isn't normal. i don't want them to end up together. they argue about this and in the end they decide to part, wendy back for normal and peter to stay in neverland. they part with the adult understanding that each has chosen a way to believe in wat is best and accepting that some idea or really anything only has value if one individually gives it value mentally themselves and real happiness is wat u choose it to be.

Facebook Comment Threads
So i saw this comment thread going on Facebook. i had even participated. Then i saw how it was going and was gonna post this:
i hav to add this...you see the progression of how a status goes from serious comments to some completely different topic comments...started off with 2 actual answers, then 3 troll answers, then 2 metaphysical answers...we can see how the comments hav alrdy started to deteriorate in association with the true purpose of the status and has become more of ppl posting jokes....then we get someone that, having followed the comment thread, got completely confused somehow, (in this case she read the original status wrong, but there are several examples when ppl were trying to follow the comment thread and got confused and stated something like "whoa whoa i thought i was following the story so far, but now im not so sure and im gonna say laugh about the thing i was thinking"),
This (or possibility a bit before) is where i decided that i could not post this to Facebook and cut and pasted it over to a new blog post:
and stated it as such, changing the topic to now about whatever she said as the ppl who were participating before are confused on to how she had that train of thought to think what ever she thought of, and are now want to understand it and ALSO become interested in whatever the thing itself was that she thought of in that train of thought.
This shows the devolving of a status into something much more recognizable as a clusterfuck-chat room. Facebook has basically become ppl just talking or "posting" things and whatever the census is generally talking about, is usually where all "posts" eventually turn too. Its just a bunch of people standing around having normal conversations. People add new topics, they get circled around the room, the general atmospheric topic that come with the times are in general use, and it goes until your zone of people you know in this world, in general, go to sleep. People come in and now as they have their own duties to attend to, and cant even be bothered to check their phone, or atleast cant check it as much.
And also the phenomenon of being able to be really close friends with someone uve barely met is possible, bc everyone is of equal distance to each other in the chat room. If your in a social group that another person is a part of, chances are that both of all of yalls friends post on the same things. Which means by the equation that runs what "top stories" feed, the two of you will get similar things, but the majority of your friends are posting on it. Now the two of you are commenting on the same things. Now you are associating as if there was no distance between you. Congrats, you are now friends.
This is Facebook. People ask you to get off it, but why? Our social lives, live in this now. Its all about posting to Facebook. It could be that human beings only associate with one another thru the computer in the future. Thats what Wall-E taught us. So now the question just is, which way will the majority of society go?
(I bet your thought i was gonna say "which way will YOU go"right? NOPE. BC truthfully its the average, non-thinking person in this world that will command what happens. Not the true intellectuals, as its been known that the majority of people in this world are stupid. And of course, favor is with the majority. So its not where YOU will go, bc it doesnt matter where the individual goes, it matters where the majority collective will go.)

Short Thought: Infuriating Personalities
Most ppl shouild infuriate each seperate individual...bc odds r your personal characteristics will not match up in a way that will be conducive of a non-infuriating friendship, its just not mathematically probable, so i guess its logical that one could be annoyed by many ppl

Blog Purpose Announcement: Figuring Things Out
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....
