Way behind and a disapperance

So I am way behind in my blogs but I will no way of blogging this weekend or on Monday and Tuesday. I will be at AMUN in Chicago and will not be returnning until Tuesday evening.

Sorry Internet, I hope you will miss me.

Edited: Waiting in line and funny people

Have you ever waited in line a just watched the people around; how they interact, talk, stand or even what they buy? I love to do this, especially when I have to wait in long lines ( for movies, shopping, whatever).   I feel that you can learn so much abut someone once you have watched them and listened to them talk. I dont mean in the creepy stalker way but in a purely curious way.

Question of the day: what have you learned today?

No Time

So I do not have time tonight to make a fairly long or entertining blog so I will come back and edit this tomorrow

Feeling Down

Have you ever had one of those days that starts well but deteriorates . Yea, I'm having that day. This morning was fine but as the day went on I felt more and more depressed.

Instead of doing homework I've sat on my ass all day and continually fell deeper and deeper into a slump. With no motivation I've afraid that I will become even more lazy and  fat. Yes that is my self esteem issues talking. Oh and lack of motivation means that my other blog will furthur be put on hold.

Question of the Day: How you pull yourself out of a slump?

Radio Station

So tonight was my third radio dj set and it wasnt that great. Turns out that the voice mic wasnt working, which is both a blessing and a curse. A  blessing because my dialogue tonight was terrible! I studdered and fumbled with my words. It was a curse because no one heard me! so I will get no feed back.

Oh well. its late and I have foreign films to watch. Bonsoir tout le monde.

Languages and attraction.

So tonight I was dragged to a German club party by my roommate and a friend. I personally do not speak any German (except a few swear words, dog, mother, no, please, thankyou, wake up, welcome, my name is and yes) and instead je parle le francias!  At said party we all (there was maybe 9 of us) sat down to watch a german film called "The Edukators." This movie was awesome and revolved around a brief period of time in the lives of two young men and a young woman.

But I'm not here to talk about the movie I'm here to talk about language and attraction. The first thing I noticed about the film (besides that fact that it was in GERMAN) was that the language barrier suddenly made the men in the film even more attractive than they aready were. I mean lets face it ladies, if a guy has an accent he immediately ets 15 bonus points in the attraction department.And gentlmen , the same goes for you, you know you love women with an accent other than your own.

So my question is, why does not being able to understand a language make that person suddenly more attractive? and whats you favorite accent/language?

Sometimes there are no words

Sometimes there are no words for what you heard. Sometimes there are no phrases, or sounds, or images that you can paint with words to descrie what you see. Sometimes you cannot take the photograph in the mind and translate it to print.

Right now I am listeing to Gen. Douglas MacArthur's "Duty, Honor, Country" speech given to the cadets at Westpoint and know that I will have a hard time finding the right words to convey MacArthur's emotion or inspiring words to those listening.

His voice reminds me of those that you hear reading the war novels on audiobooks and despite the grim beginning and imagery I am lulled into sleep.

Question of the Day: How do describe what you do not have words for?
