And I paid for it. Hooray for being legal despite not doing so the last 8 years.

Now I just need a functioning iPod. I’ll probably steal one of my boyfriend’s 4GBs. He doesn’t need two anyway.

Have any of you seen the documentary "Earthlings"?

I haven’t but I was just curious. What did you think of it?

Hit me up on aim!

Just let me know who you are on Tumblr, so I don’t become afraid. :p

I just tried to IM you, but you probably posted that awhile ago, hah.

If anyone wants to talk to me, I’m calls7306. I can’t sleep, thinking about the universe and whatnot.

I'm starting to really question my future occupation.

Not that it’s set in stone, because it isn’t. But I’m pretty much against marketing morally, in a general sense. It can be done right, sure. But the idea of marketing and the idea of appealing to the masses for a product that I don’t morally agree with deep down is probably a terrible idea. Also, really unfullfilling at the end of the day.

Sometimes I just lay in bed wondering what the point of anything is. I don’t mean that to sound emo, because I realize it could be interpreted at such. I just mean that there really is no law; it is merely human invention. Money is just paper, and people die over it every day. Celebrities don’t amount to shit but we treat them like gods. Or a more simple time when the lines of extreme cruelty weren’t blurred in an attempt to make a buck. What is good? What is bad? I wonder what life was like at the beginning of time, when there were no billboards and no jails and no languages. Just a blank slate.

Random tangent. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t want my greatest accomplishment to be coming up with a clever ad campaign for a product that was made in a sweatshop. I feel like I was born with this intense empathetic view on the world, and someone like me would be better suited doing something else. The whole Photoshop thing I reblogged earlier kind of reminded me that that is an extension of all this in a way; presenting a false reality to girls and creating body image problems. And I’m torn, because I do like fantasy, and I always have. I also like side-by-side frames of just how ridiculous magazine covers are, because it’s kind of an art, how you can just reinvent a completely different person. So it’s just like…what the fuck do I do with my life?

I really hate these blips of existential crises that I have from time to time. It would be so much more simple to live in denial, but where does that get humanity? Absolutely nowhere.

Hahahahahaha. Awesome, and accurate. But I have no shame anymore.
