Noise

Everlasting Light by The Black Keys.

Look it up. This song, I mean, owns.

Tangent!
Check out this album cover. I point this out with Molly in mind, she's a loon for album covers, (and a loon in general) because she often posts album covers with her music posts. I post this AC for kicks. What is this genius?!

"In this way, Mr. K will challenge the world"

I have this habit of trying to fit myself into a "type." We all do it, I know. In fact, that's something we learned about in Psychology a few days ago... but that's a whole something else. Anyway, "Types." Right. Most of the time I trick myself into believing that I do fall into a category, that I do make sense as a person, but then, on occasion, reality comes for a visit and points it finger at me and says, "drop the charade, man. You're full of contradictions and absurdities." So, let's just think about that for a sec. We all don't fit into a stereotype. All human beings. That just sounds like chaos to me. In my mind, I see the 6 billion people of the earth all dancing and screaming and talking at the same time. Ha. Can you imagine? Anyway... Moving on. What I'm getting at is every time I realize (again) that I don't nor do I need to fit into a mold, I get a little happier because I can embrace what I actually love instead of forcing myself to try and love something my type would love. Get it? Whatever. Neither do I. Kind of.

To illustrate what the heck I'm talking about, I decided to include some of the wonderful contradictions that make up the mess you know as "Lana" or "Lama" or "that hot mess" or"who is that girl talking to herself?" Mk. Judge away.

What I watch.

What I listen to.

What I read.

What I eat.

Who I grace with my friendship.

(BAHA)

Recognize contradictions like these within yourself? We are all more alike then we let on.

Life In 6 Words

I gave this post the title "Life In 6 Words" because of a great English assignment we'll be working on next week. Basically, we have to make a statement in 6 words. It can be anything, mean anything. Whatever. I have two that I might use but I won't share them now. I want to challenge you to do this. Say something in 6 words. Anything! Explain a concept. Make me laugh. Tell me a story. Whisper a secret... Just do it in 6 words. There's a youtube video that we watched in class that will explain this better than I did (sorry!). Enjoy.

Hope this is the right video! If not, that's embarrassing!

Flip Side of Empty

I'm in the mood to make a list. A list without a title might I add because, let's be honest, this list will reflect the current state of my mind, filled to the brim with a whole lot of Random. I suppose I should give it some sort of theme though, no? How about this?

Thoughts of a Hot Mess with A.D.D. (Thanks, Harty. haha)

1. What is with mainstream music being so catchy lately? I can't get enough of "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry. Okay well to be honest I've always loved Katy Perry but this song is addictive.

2. Yearbook is actually going well. We had our 2347982735th editor meeting today and we've finally settled on a cover and a few other things that you wouldn't really care about. Our staff seems to be a good one and I really can't wait for this year to take off. Not that it hasn't... it's just, I want everyone to reach that point of comfort and routine that makes yearbook so fun. Ah well, "wanting it to take off" is a great problem to have.

3. Why does Houston weather blow so much? Today, Molly asked me if I ever go swimming in my pool and I thought to myself, "Why do I need to get in the pool? The humidity makes everyday a swim through the freaking OCEAN." NEVER MIND the 400 degree air temperature that makes everyone LOOK like they swam with the dolphins because we're all sweating so much.

4. Where is Sara Khan? I never see this girl anymore and it saddens me.

If you see this girl, let me know and tell her I miss her.

5. Being a senior is a wonderful thing. I walk around and see people in my grade and feel like I can say hi or stop and talk to about 90 percent of them. That's so special. My Econ teacher (who I'm sure is secretly Yoda because he's pretty dang wise) said something really interesting on the first day of school. He goes, "There's nothing like being in a classroom with the people you grew up with." And that's so true. There is comfort and fun and familiarity and security in that and I'm really enjoying the last year of it so far.

6. I see burnt orange in my future. More on that later. 

I'll be updating this as the night goes on...
