Rapid Fire Blog Week

i'm blogging again today because i seem to have an over active word source this week and i need, more than usual, to say something to someone about anything at all.
Masha is a darling but i find it immoral of me to subject her to every little nuance of my hyperactive imagination...so i'll just imagine that someone reads this thing and placate my need for pedantry here!

HUZZAH!

as i mentioned yesterday, brotherhood 2.0 makes me happy. what is even more entertaining for me is that it all started in january of 2007, which means that posts were happening alongside posts of another video blogger whome i love(d) referred to as ZeFrank (think i mentioned him yesterday too). i bring this up only because in march of 2007, where i've managed to find myself in the chronology, they're referencing Ze. makes me happy.

excellent. now that i'm done with yesterday lets talk about tomorrow which is actually today. i started this blog the 17th and its now the 18th, so theres that.

i'm reading richard wright's Native Son and i'm in a wierd limbo about it...no, thats wrong. it exists for me in the limbo: do i damn the book to the hell of pretentious books i've read in school because i've been assigned them and for no other reason or shall i eleveate it to the lofty paradise of actually Enjoyable books that i was originally assigned and have since found qualities in that i deem (mandate?) enjoyable enough to stay on my "may someday re-read or recommend" shelves.
the main character started off like all the other protagonists of the reading list of my "study of the novel" class: whiney and not possessed of any noticable amount of healthy conflict resolution skills. about a hundred pages in, however, Bigger (our protagonist) has taken on a rather amusing self actualizated attitude towards his life, decisions and the reprecussions of either in this post depression pre world war 2 communist fearing black oppressing america. woo: historically based novels.
i've taken up a podcast called Savage Love; a call and response permutation of Dan Savages syndicated sex advice column. in listening to it my attitudes(reflected in the attitudes of the callers) towards what may be considered sexual deviance have been examined, dissected, and normalized to the point where i'm wondering if exploration in that previously unattractive area of interpersonal relations isnt maybe a goood idea. suggestions? do i solicit my curiosities to my girlfriend or simply wait until i burst onto the new york scene and find someone a bit more professional to solicit myself to and explore it that way? or should i be drawn and quartered for even suggesting such things? oh, by the by, i mention new york as an option because by then masha and i will have graduated from both college and from the pre-planned cessation of our relationship.
about that. am i making a fool of myself by giving up on a relationship thats working and that could, possibly, work longer, just because we've got our differences and cause we have plans that dont coincide? should i drop theatre entirely and find my place alongside her in the peace corps and live a happy, world serving, vagrant's life? of course the question needs be asked that even if i persued this life in earnest, would i be a welcome facet of masha's life in a permanent sense.
well, class needs be attended by someone, so it might as well be this guy. by friends.
