matty, ad nauseum

so many things to say... so i sha'n't stop speaking.

#49: Prop. 8

american-apologies:

After everything gay people have given to California, this is how they get treated? Get smart, everyone, this proposition is institutionalized prejudice and deserves to be overturned. You can say it protects “traditional marriage”, “religious rights”, “parental rights”, but it’s easy to see through that facade. It’s truly a headache imagining what goes on in the mind of these homophobes:

the waiting.

and now we wait.

applications are in.  once i get a response, i will post my personal statement, methinks, for jeers and tears.

i can’t wait to hear something. anything. their decisions will affect my life invariably.

personal statements? eeeek.

this part scares me, almost, more than the LSAT.

today is the day, friends.

saturday productivity

it is now 10 am as i still lie in bed, on this second day of the new year two thousand and ten.

today’s productivity docket:

  1. Create a personal statement template to be used for applications.
  2. Actually leave the house in order to:
    1. Take out garbage;
    2. Go for a walk
  3. Go to thrift stores to find suitable pants at cheap prices. This step can be combined with #2, without the garbage.
  4. Dream of going to Yale Law School.

So, that’s that folks.

Getting up in 5… 4… 3… 2….

it’s no secret that i’m in love with zac efron.
this blog is hilarious. and true.

Why He’s Hot: 
He’s fucking perfect, that’s why. His deliberately coiffed brown hair, his sculpted nose and bow shaped lips. You just want to stare at him. Put him in a glass box and put his gorgeous ass on display; taking him out every few hours to erm…dust him off. 
Those eyes - and umph those lashes. He’s been taunting us with the ‘come hither’ glare since before we could legally jump his bones. Now that we can - he’d better be careful where he points those things. 
The Scruff. Goddamn it looks good dusting the edges of that bone structure. 
He has this sense of innocence about him - maybe it’s because he started off as a teenager in a Disney musical, or just because of that baby face - but whatever it is, you just want to corrupt him, in the best and worst of ways. 
 That body. It’s all strong and tan and that little happy trail leading down past those obliques…into those pants, taunting you…begging you to reach past his waistband, grab ahold of his dick and —

“Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.”

american embarrassments #30: Fred Phelps

american-apologies:

You know they say homophobes in many cases tend to harbor homosexual feelings themselves, in which case Fred Phelps is probably the gayest person alive. This hated and despised pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church is more like the leader of an anti-gay cult, believing that homosexuality and social acceptance of it have doomed most of the world to eternal damnation. With 71 members (60 of which are related to Phelps), you could find these hate-filled homophobes protesting at funerals of soldiers, for the inexplicable reason that their deaths were a result of America’s “love for fags”. Their websites, such as “God Hates Fags”, have sparked a lot of controversy, as they suggest that God will punish homosexuals as well as anyone else whom his church considers “fag-enablers”. While we should apologize for producing Phelps and his bigotry, it should be noted that Phelps is oddly the one area where both liberals and conservatives can agree upon. If that doesn’t say how much he’s hated, I don’t know what will.

best of the 2000s

while everyone posts their best films of the decade bla bla, i thought i’d post this little gem:

http://ta-nehisicoates.theatlantic.com/archives/2009/12/worst_movie_of_the_decade.php

new year, new blog like thing.

so, my feeble attempts at keeping other blog-like things have failed.

i don’t enjoy failing. to that end i have joined this tumblr., for no more reason than i appreciate its sense of design in posting random items to the internetz.

so yay!

as it is new year’s eve, i am poised to ring in 2010 in the comfort of my apartment.  i decided to forgo any parties or bars— i am more keen to falling asleep at my own house in these days.

it’s 7:30 p.m. as happens, i have indeed been looking back over 2009 with some gloom, and some happiness, but mostly with the former— however, i think this is the case with most people.  i mean, who really had a great year?  unfortunately, no one i know.  in fact, i think one word sums up the year, both for me and compatriots:

tumultuous.

i have a sincere and lasting hope that 2010 is better for each and every one of us. additionally, i do fervently hope that we look back on 2009 and at least take away some lessons from the maelstrom. spend less. save more. love cautiously, but honestly. get serious about what you can do in the world. leave childish things behind.

gain the wisdom to know what childish things are.

…more to come, i’m sure, as the evening passes.
