nobody dances anymore, nobody takes chances anymore
too bad I love this song. and this video. and a certain dance called the sharpener. soon the protractor will make its film debut.

so i was thinking about morality in our society and in a world saturated with media images and conglomerations we are all forced to make the decision of whether to support and acknowledge the dependence we have on these companies, boycott and ignore our obvious difficulty in pushing them aside, or blissfully ignore the problems that we are continuing to create ourselves. i look at a company like starbucks. i think fondly, "oh starbucks" i think "howard schultz is THE MAN" and i think that their company is run in an innovative socially responsible fashion that is yet to be replicated. but then i look at them partnering up with william morris agency to continue making more films and books. starbucks is becoming a conglomeration. by creating an industry of mass consumption that was not present before (coffee!) starbucks has opened up for themselves the opportunity to take over ... everything! i am shocked but i cannot say i am appalled, because i truly believe that starbucks is doing something that will not threaten our world with hegemony. i love starbucks but i do think that there are probably thousands of people out there who could tell me i am wrong.

however. i am still confused of a moral stance i am supposed to take. i hate the idea that i am so susceptible to be completely engulfed by these ten or so companies that run everything in the world. i cannot escape it these influences, and i cannot make a conscious decision to omit them from my life, because it is just simply too hard. i guess i will have to feel guilty every time i consume. i really just hope that the six species of monkeys that are in danger of being extinct because of deforestation in southeast asia get scooped up by a helicopter and loved.

every element on earth was once created in the inside of a star which was at first just coalescing cosmic dust that eventually exploded and created our solar system. essentially we are all tiny bits and pieces of stars. isn't that the coolest thing you've ever heard? i like to think that we are all stars.

I had to write an essay about electrochemical cells for chemistry, this is part of it:

To better explain this idea of an electrochemical cell, I have chosen an electron named Jeffery whom we will follow throughout this circuit. Jeffery originates as part of the solid Zinc strip that is in solution. He is soon ripped apart from his Zn2+ buddy, to which he is usually attached at the hip. Jeffery flies up the electrode that is attached to the strip of zinc at the anode. He flies through the wires all the way onto the solid copper strip to which he quickly finds a new BFF, Cu2+! Here he and a Cu2+ ion combine and make a Cu(s) molecule, thus increasing the mass of the Copper strip at the cathode. The reduction is taking place at the cathode, so therefore the Zn2+ ion that Jeff left is the reducing agent, and the Cu2+ ion that Jeff made friends with is the oxidizing agent.

no really, if you gave me the option to live inside my brain for the rest of my life, i'd do it
right now i just want to shrink to the size of an ant and crawl all the way into the middle of my brain, that way i can see the synapses jumping along myelin sheiths on each neuron and the little ion channels opening and closing and understand the way my ideas are created. then i could really know how i think and where all the ideas i lose go and where the ones that make it into the world go. i really just want to be inside a brain for the rest of my life.

IM BACK! HOLLA!

"fuck shit fuck fuck ass cunt - wow. that cd was so good it gave me tourrette's."
that was going to be my band of the day for peter who is currently still at his office (its almost 12pm on a school night!). i was brutally rebuffed. i'm currently sitting on my brand new couch (delivered promptly as i moved into my apartment 2 weeks ago by a couple cute boys from queens who call themselves "man with a van") im kidding. they weren't really cute, but they hearted me. i heart my new couch instead.
since i last posted, i went to sxsw and had a little too much fun. see atlantic city post below.
i also moved into a brand new apartment on the lower east side, right next to all my main nigs in LES #1!
you should probably call me and check out the new joint ... bring a joint too. HOLLA!
