Not really sure where to go with this one.
It's summer.
I've finished two books so far, so that's nice.
Saw Star Trek. The first great movie of the summer for sure.
This blog has potential to be really boring, and I don't think I will make any attempt to redirect its current.
Bla bla bla bla.
Here's a funny picture:

My latest venture has been attempting to keep a daily journal. This task has been hard for me and, from what I've learned, it is for a lot of people.
I don't write because I rarely feel that I have anything important to say. Lacking eloquence is something else that prevents me from writing.
I'm trying to get in the habit of writing even when I don't have anything to say or the ability to say it well.

It has been a very long time since I've done this. I'm not even sure that I know how to. I'm not sure that I knew how to.
Well, I have been occupying myself with schoolwork, reading, writing, listening to music (this should be able to be said with one word. Any suggestions?), and thinking. This semester has been great because I have been reading more than usual.
Anyway, I thought I should probably quit being such a vagabond and update this thing. Hopefully, I will keep it up. But, I wouldn't bet on it.
P. S. I can't wait to find out what this is...

I was driving late the other night, about thirty seconds from my dorm, when my ipod, in shuffle mode, played February Stars by Foo Fighters. I drove past the entrance to my university in order to be able to hear the entirety of the song. That's when I thought of a new top 10 list that I could make. So, here it is:
Top 10 songs I'd extend my driving time for
1. Every New Day by Five Iron Frenzy
2. February Stars by Foo Fighters
3. Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World
4. Misunderstood by Wilco
5. Paranoid Android by Radiohead
6. Title and Registration by Death Cab for Cutie
7. The Earth Will Shake by Thrice
8. Seer's Tower by Sufjan Stevens
9. Let's Dance by M. Ward
10. The Shadow Proves The Sunshine by Switchfoot

I have a new goal: the American Film Institute's top 100 movies. So far I've watched On the Waterfront and The Graduate. Both were great films but The Graduate struck my soul in a different way. I can definitely see Wes Anderson being heavily influenced by this film.

"I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."

I'm currently reading The War of the Worlds and let me just say that the tripods in the book are much scarier than the ones in the Spielberg movie...
