Fragmented Thoughts, Just 'Cuz.

1. I will never get sick of the movie 10 Things I Hate about You. Heath Ledger and JGL in the same movie? You can't get better than that. Especially for a 90's romantic comedy..
2. True Story. (Brad Pitt on spirituality): "I'm probably 20% atheist and 80% agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.
3. I recently threw out all of my clothes (ALL of it!) and am updating my wardrobe. I spent a couple hundred dollars today. And I feel no buyers remorse. Don't you love when that happens?
4. My new thing is wearing vintage rock tees with a scoopneck sweater. Too bad I now only have 2 t-shirts. :/
5. If I had the time, I'd hang out in Apple and listen to the guys behind the Genius Bar talk Geek all day.
6. That being said, Puter is sick and had to be sent out for repairs. Initial problem: He wouldn't wake up from sleep. I brought him in a couple weeks ago and they put $800 worth of new parts in him (for free, thank goodness!). It's basicly a new computer but the sleep thing wasn't resloved and I really dislike turning him off improperly. Sooo I brought him back and the Geniuses were shocked at this unusual problem. I for one don't think it's unusual. Most people simply wouldn't bring in their computer for something so irrelevant. Anyway, I miss him dearly. I'm now stuck using a PC and feel retarded. It took me about 10 min to figure out how to save a picture to the desktop. And this no-spell check thing is pissing me off!
7. I had a dream last night that I was best freinds with Joey from Real World Cancun. Yes, I'm aware he's an ignorant douche. And yes, I will always watch The Real World no matter how lame or repetitive the story lines become.
8. I have a HUGE crack on my windshield. When I saw it, I just stared at it in shock with my jaw to the floor. Then, I came in and told my mom and sister. They both stared at me in shock with their jaws to the floor.

Ok, enough fragments. I'm gunna go clean and get rid of all my shoes now. ♥

Marry Me

I will never get sick of this video.

Ever.

500 Days of Summer - Promo

500 Minutes with the Guys from 500 Days of Summer

Too Funny. You will die laughing. I've never been more excited to see a movie!

The Night Journey and Ascension

What a wonderful story. The ascension occurred about 1388 years ago today. Whether it actually happened or was a vision is irrelevant - the entire event's connotation doesn't alter.

I've been reading the Qur'an this summer. I always seem to need something to study. It's the first summer since High School that I've had off and I don't want my brain to dry out and disintegrate. Therefore, I bought a scholarly copy of the book in order to take notes with less disrespect. If you think my copy of Paradise Lost has been dissected, analyzed, and run through the mill, you haven't seen anything!

My favorite ayahs so far (probably just due to personal timing):

With every difficulty there is relief.

With every difficulty there is relief.

(Qur'an 94:5-6)

Besides, anything repetitive always catches my eye.

Even though I've gotten the best translated versions of the Qur'an, it's times like this where I wish I read or understood more Arabic so I could appreciate it's alliteration. I know rhetoric is essential in understanding it all properly since it's one of the few books which is language specific. A translated version is like watching O instead of reading Othello. You get the gist of what happens but you miss crucial information and meaning is altered. It's unfortunate, but my translated version are critically acclaimed so I'm hoping it's more of an Othello spark note rather than O.

Why I Love "NY Prep": Reason #1

They make fun of girls who wear "Juicy." Usually the opinions of others are irrelevant in my world. Especially those of spoiled trust-fund babies. But, their digs at public school girls who wear "Juicy sweaters" spoke directly to my subconscious and made me severely re-think that bright pinkish-purple Juicy lap-top case chilling on my bedroom floor. I was uncomfortable wearing to begin with since I'm not 16 - but now it's just awkward. I think it's about that time to visit The Couture Exchange and rid myself of the designer-bags-I-once-thought-were-cute. From now on, labels belong on the inside!

I can't decide which photo I love better.

Therefore, I change my desktop background every 5 minutes.

Revisit 2008

Yeah, yeah - I know. I'm about 7 months too late. Whatev, though. Better late than never! 2008 was a pretty monumental year and thanks to The New York Times, you can take a look back on both the good and the (really) bad. [ 2008 - The Year in Pictures ]

Obama: Campaigning in the rain at a University in Chester, PA.

Michael Phelps: The 100-meter butterfly. Winning his 7th (out of 8) gold metal.

War on Iraq & Afghanistan: Soldiers find a baby during a routine raid.

Kennedy Space Center: Endeavour on its way to the International Space Center.

Zimbabwe: Cholera epidemic. Infected over 16,000 and killed hundreds.

These pictures are hauntingly beautiful and definitely worth browsing through; especially if you're more into art than politics.
