Random Thoughts

  • Worse case scenarios rarely happen, but when they do they really mess with your head.
  • I'm really in a musical rut. When is something gonna blow me away again? I need another Wolf Parade or a new Modest Mouse or Arcade Fire or something. Maybe the new Cat Power is good.
  • One of my worst fears is to be accused of something I didn't do. Weird huh?
  • I wouldn't want to really know what the future holds, like for real in depth and stuff. Like I wouldn't want a full rundown of what my life is like at 40. But a snap shot would be kind of cool. Am I wearing Armani, or Old Navy? Married, single, divorced? Kids? I guess a snapshot wouldn't tell all this, but it'd give you a clue. Just enough to look forward/dread the future.
  • People are always like, if I had the chance to find out when I died, I wouldn't take the opportuninty? I think I might have thought that until I got myself in debt to student loans. I'd take the opportunity now. I mean, why pay back $100,000 in student loans if I'm gonna die at 29?
  • I've read as much as I can read tonight. My apologies.
  • Sometimes I'm really sad that I'm never gonna work in a restaurant again. I really miss the hell out of it. No other experience in the world like working 4 or 5 doubles a week with a bunch of crazy characters. Not gonna find that in a firm.
  • Some days I really wanna be a high powered IP litigator at a megafirm. Somedays I wanna be a prosecutor. Some days I want to be President. Some days I wanna be a champion for the poor. I want to visit third world countries and help solve their problems. Sometimes I feel like I want a 70 hour work week at $100,000+ a year, and other days I can't imagine living that kind of life. And then sometimes, in fact most of the time, I remember I'm 22, have at least 40 years of work ahead of me, and remember that I don't have to figure out everything right now.
