Some things need to be shared.
Ok...just realized my journal is becoming a collection of links to third-party content. Meh.

Clatter, crash, clack
On the way to work on the 33 eastbound. Looking out, hey snow. That wasn't there 5 minutes ago. Visibility down. Hey! What's that ahead? Crap. Police car standing still. Gotta stop... Sliding. Oh damn, ton of cars lined up on the right. Gotta veer left. Bang, front left bumper. Bang, back left bumper. Bang, front left bumper. Stop. Damn. Ok, didn't hit anybody. Gotta get to work. Merging... Funny noise it's making. Hi, cop car. Bye, cop car. Ohh, somebody else slid too. Well that car isn't going anywhere. Driving, driving... Yay, work! Getting out of the dangerous conveyance. Eww, that doesn't look good. Calling shop. Let's get this great day started!

Keanu Bebop
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/88734-Keanu-Reeves-Starring-In-Cowboy-Bebop-Movie
I have mixed feelings. But I like Keanu. He's a hero for emotionally subdued people everywhere. But then, I like Spike too. And I'm not quite sure how that will mesh.
I'm confident that it will be watchable, speaking objectively. But my bebop fanboyism may dash even that. Ah well.
And...who's going to play Ed?

Perhaps this is why...
I spent 17-18 years of my life only a few blocks away from this place on the same street. My mother was always scared of the outside world, even before we moved here. I'm sure this place didn't help that much. *mutters*

Different culture, different rules,
But arranged marriages in general are a shitty way to run a society. Sometimes cultural quirks and traditions really are just plain inferior.

Something worthwhile...
Yeah, women put up with a good amount of shit...
I do think at least some of it is exaggerated. And men have their own set of unique problems. But it's easier for us in a lot of areas. So this makes for a very worthwhile gesture.

Heheheh
Good stuff.
Hee, haiku! *Read in a singsong voice*
"Be the dumb fuck that
you want to be. That's okay
with me. I don't care."
Just thought I'd share. I'm a lot happier than this makes me sound. Honest! :} (Woo, another one!)
Hmm, are contractions cheating? I've never really understood the value of haiku in languages other than japanese... It just seems to be uniquely suited to that language structure.

Social Anxiety
Re: (e:vincent) ...
Social anxiety is a bitch. Yeah.
I meet women...through online dating sites. There. I said it.
I find that those sites get just as bad a rep as bars do when considered for the purposes of meeting people.
So it is said that you should instead go about the task of meeting people while in the pursuit of other hobbies and learning experiences.
So, what if you go ahead take up a couple such hobbies, making your best effort to be social. But then come up with nothing. What do you do now?
Do you just stick with whatever hobbies you liked and just not worry about it? Do you move to other hobbies and activities, and drop the ones you were doing because there's just not enough time?
There is a reason people go to bars and clubs, and its not just to get drunk. Drink makes a baseline excuse for an excursion among the company of strangers. There is the potential there for meeting lots of different people very quickly.
That's not to say that drink is a vital component of all social activities. In fact, apparently AA actually makes for a decent place to meet people. (Or so I've heard.) People just need an excuse to get together. And that's all the nightlife is.
I'm not saying that other activities, or just an attempt at being friendly or social during the day, would make a lousy way to meet people. But I also don't think that the nightlife is just a meaningless self-destructive spiral. There is opportunity everywhere.
As for me... I'm pretty much giving those online sites a break. Yeah, it has been good to me... But I'm tired of being incapable of meeting new people in person. I feel the need to move past that and (at least try to) learn a different way.
