It's wednesday, ya know?

New Slang by The Shins
I know it's not a music video, but I don't know if they have any.  Not that I've seen.  This song is great though, and you may remember it from the movie Garden State, which was a movie of the week at one point.

My friend is visiting this weekend and we are going to go get some stuff pierced.  Remember my industrial closed up while I was in jail? Well, I'm going to be getting it re-pierced this weekend! Don't worry, I'll post pictures.

This whole thing about introverts and extroverts is getting silly.  I am an introvert.  I like to sit at home and play video games and smoke weed and not talk to people very often.  It doesn't mean I never want to hang out with anyone.  I like to go out and see my friends and when they come to see me.  But you probably wont see me at very many raging shindigs or huge HUGE parties or anything.  Being an introvert also doesn't mean I never want to talk to you.  I have things I want to say (or I wouldn't have this blog).  I just don't feel the need to endlessly talk about my life to everyone.  I don't even do that with my best friend.  I tell you once and that's it.  I like to listen.  I will listen and process and think and if I have something to say then I'll say it.  But don't except some ridiculously long, drawn out, explanatory speech about why I think that.  Maybe I want you to think about why I said that.  Maybe you should be the one asking questions about life. You have to come up with your own conclusions.  Don't always look for validation in another.  There is also this stupid idea that if you are creative you must only be an introvert. Not true! I know plenty of extroverts that are creative as all get out! The same goes for intelligence.  Extroverts are just as smart as introverts.  There is also this notion out there that introverts only care about what's going on inside themselves and don't care about anything outside themselves.  Lies.  I think the most important way to learn about yourself is by learning about the world.  Also, how can we ever expect to fully accept and love and have a decent place to live if we don't ever go outside of our own little mind box.  I'll admit I spend more time daydreaming than I probably should, but it doesn't mean that I am disconnected from the world and don't care about it.

Blah,
