Productiveness is not always the most important thing, or the best thing either.

So this is what I missed...

Today at my internship(!) I was shadowing a tour of preschoolers and their parents. I was amazed to see that every kid had their own sunglasses, apparently the new must-have item this summer. Also when the parents stepped up to take pictures of their kids only one of them had a actual honest to goodness camera. When I say camera, I mean a digital camera. All the other parents took pictures with their Iphones.

I am not just schpealing about this because I HATE the iPhone, and oh boy I do, but I was astounded. Maybe it was just seeing parents who had a good knowledge of technology, but I think it was more that it was the largest number of iPhones I have ever seen in one place.

Yes my parents have trouble turning on the TV (I literally got a call at school once asking how) and using a regular ipod (am i charging this right?) and recognizing cell phones (I wasn't there but apparently my mom thought her new phone was actually and attachment).

And yes, I absolutley LOATHE the iPhone, and for the record I adore all other apple products except the iPod nanos. I don't know I just don't see what the big deal is about them. I get that it is a phone, camera, iPod(mp3), gps, blackberry, handy man's helper, wilderness survival guide, hand held game, and pretty much anything else you want it to be (I wonder if there is an app for all the things that there is an app for?) but COME ON! Really? I mean I already paid like $400 for a video iPod (white, if you wanted to know) and over $1,000 for a macBook, about $30 a mo. for a cell phone, and $100 for a crappy digital camera. So why on the gods green earth would I pay for something, though amazing that it is, that I don't need? Because it's handy you say? HA! I remember before the internet was good. I remember what it is like to live without cable, I remember when cell phone were a novelty and only business people had them, I remember the palm pilot. All this makes me sound old but I barely have lived 2 decades. For godsake I remeber the old dell computers with the black screen and yellow type!!!!!

I am so living perfectly fine without one of those imbicile phones... I'll probably wish I had one once I find myself lost deep in the wilderness, after parachuting out of a crashing plane, with only granola bars and water to last a day or less and I am surrounded by bears, and no hermits in sight to kill for their food. It will be then that I will cry out for my long lost iPhone that there was no way in hell I would buy. The ironic thing is that if I did have an iPhone there with me and an app about how to survive when lost in the woods... I'll bet the reception would be non-existant.

I wonder if there is a "how to deal with withdrawl from your iPhone" app.

Just Watched...

Just finished watching Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. Really good movie i liked it alot, plus the soundtrack is really good too, it should be because it is about music, kinda. And if you can't tell I am like a music fanatic. I'm not sure if I would run around NY looking for a secret show though... I'll never know unless I am presented that option. I know that it would have to be some artist or group who I really really really really love; I can't think of anyone off the top of my head though.

Anyway now I have another incentive to go to NY. I really really really really wanna go to Electric Lady Studios. Its like the American version of Abbey Road, almost. I've never been to a recording studio and I would absolutely love to since I love what comes out of them so much. I hope I will be able to go to England next summer and if I do I have got to go to Abbey Road. I just want some time to wander around those iconic walls and see some stuff there. Just to stand in the place that Ringo Starr, John Lennon, Paul McCarteny, George Harrison, Jon Walker, Ryan Ross, Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith, plus others that I probably listen to and don't even realize, have stood, sat, smoked etc. If I can do that it would be an amazing point of my life.

I may have just found my odessey, which probably doesn't make much sence. The only question I really have to ask is: Am I really willing to give up Italy, and possibly more of Europe, for studios...

I really don't know. Maybe I do though.

I'll get back to you

For now

Harmony Love Peace!!!

sigh

I guess I could write something on here but my life right now is horribly boring and normal, not like it is ever crazy or interesting. I did finish my year at school and now is the down time between school and work.
Yeah...

Love Harmony Peace

Rent

Today I went to see Rent. It was absolutely amazing. I am so glad and so happy that I was able to go. It was an early b-day present. The show was baller because of the songs of course, the story line, the actors and also because of the shows history. One of the coolest things about this showings though, was the fact that it starred Adam Pascal as Roger and Anthony Rapp as Mark. Not only did they reprise their rolls from the movie, but also they were the original Mark and Roger from the 1996 opening.

It was so much more of a rock thing than a musical, audience wise. It is technically a rock opera but everyone cheered and clapped when they stepped onto the stage and when Angel appeared in "Today 4 You." It is such a moving story and made even more bitter sweet by the story of the director, writer, and composer, Johnathon Larson.

It was indescribable to see it on stage. I am so lucky.
In honor of the event I am changing my last thought

No Day But Today.

realization

i just had this moment, you know the ones that make you step back and really think about something? Well I just realized that after 5:00pm next Wednesday, I will be halfway done with my college career. That is insane. Insane! It feels like I wasn't even here last year and I think in a way I really wasn't. I didn't do anything last year. I did hang out with people, but we really didn't do anything when we did, except talk about how there is nothing to do here.

I also can't believe that this year is almost over either. I mean were already right back around to summer, and only a few months til my birthday. Then I won't even be a teenager anymore.

It's all very surreal.

Love Peace Harmony
