"because the air outside will make our cells divide at an alarming rate"

It's hot. It's way to hot to do much of anything today. Then again, I'm way to tired to do anything anyway, so I'm here blogging. I've never really blogged before. Back in elementary school I would start blogs on Xanga. Everyone else was doing it and it was kind of fun editing Xanga layouts and whatnot. That was the start and the end of my blogs. This is a new thing for me, and I approach it with a bit of caution and a bit of "whatever-ness". They say blogs are dangerous; that once you get into the habit of posting your thoughts and ideas things can get out of control, and next thing you know you've lost your girlfirend, your job, your money, your home, and your cat. Then again, who's actually going to read this blog anyway. That's the logic that goes through everyone's mind, and next thing you know you're putting that logic into writing and the next thing you tell yourself is, "OK I've wrote this much already, I can't not press "PUBLISH POST". So here is it.

I'm planning on recording thoughts and ideas that pop into my head that I feel warrant transcription onto the internet. When/If the internet finally "collapses" or w/e they're saying it's going to do (some time before the sun goes out and our galaxy merges with Andromeda), I can say that my thoughts and ideas contributed to it! I'm going to title my posts like the producers of Grey's Anatomy title their episodes; using MUSIC! I'm no music connoisseur, but I'll try to title each of my posts using memorable lyrics from songs. Today's title is from "We Will Become Silhouettes" by the Postal Service, although the version that's going through my mind is the cover of the song by The Shins (trust me I'm no music connoisseur, The Shins are pretty much the only "indie" band I have on my iPod).

A little bit about myself. I like the color mustard yellow (obviously), I am interested in graphic design, architecture, the NYC subway system, cities, songs, tennis, and a bunch of other stuff. I am a student. Right now I go to a specialized public high school in NYC that sits next to Manhattan's holding reservoir and has a Wolverine as it's official mascot (you only see it if you wander to the back of the Weight Room). Soon I will start my undergraduate education at a small and quirky liberal arts college in a quaint river town (technically a city) in Minnesota with a penguin as it's unofficial mascot. I plan on studying socioanthroreligiobiology (I'm deciding between Sociology/Anthropology or "SoAn", Religion from a secular perspective, and Biology. That's about as specific as I can get as I wade through the waters of blog-dom, that's enough information for curious people (or stalkers) to figure out where I am without me explicitly telling them. Anyway that's that.
