My boyfriend's rubber band gun.

It's fun.

There you have it.
What it looks like when you shoot rubber bands at the ground..... hooray!

"Your Ex-Lover is Dead" - Stars

a bit obsessed with this song right now..... 


"when there's nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire."


God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

Should I Read The News More?

CCM architecture near the
Patricia Corbett Theater.
Was on assignment for TNR.

Should I read the news more? Well, I'm not actually sure. When I sit around in the office, some people pull out names I've never heard of before saying, "He did this!" and, "It's funny because he does blahblah," and I feel like maybe I should read more news and realize who these people are. (At least, I usually assume they're from some sort of media).
I've tried reading NY Times, Washington Post, local news from my hometown, Cincinnati and even Asheville, but I get so distracted, then I'll read something and it'll remind me to do/look at something else and then I'll never come back to the original article that I'm reading. Then I just stop caring. I like more of the music/movie/celebrity sorta thing, but even then I'm pretty absent from it all .. Considering, I don't know the names of even one person in my favorite band and then only reason I know the Beatles are John, Paul, George, and Ringo is because I was brought up repeating those names over and over.
The reason I'm throwing this out there is because I'm going into a field that is a part of the media and I'm scared that if I don't start learning myself now, I'll sound unintelligent when I start talking to professionals and go, "And that is...?" Maybe there's a way to play that off? But ... more than likely there isn't. I should start motivating myself to look at headlines but I'm always doing something else. Finding new music, studying, reading chapters out of books, posting on here, talking to someone, or scrolling around on Facebook (I'll admit to it!). I even realize that it's good to know what's going out outside the U.S. boundaries and figure out why gas prices are so high (Libya... I think), but I just don't.
I think I'll get inspired some day. I mean, since I've been taking pictures and actually have a reason to get out of bed in the morning (besides to avoid failing classes), I've gotten out of my writers' block. I sometimes wish I had more followers on this blog. That would at least make me feel interesting.

i feel like i over-post....

but i wanted to add these:

that is all.
