Lost in my Music World
Wow my cd collection is growing fast thanks to Matt who is computerizing his cd collection and getting rid of the actual cds.

THANKS MATT!

Thesis Madness
So I had my first official thesis meeting. What a crock this is. I am not interested in writing a 40 page paper just to have my diploma say with honors from Canisius. But alas I must do it. At least I have an offical advisor now, Thanks Dr. Christian! ANd I am going to write something to do with big shopping especially Walmart and its effects on communities and how people interact. Anyone wanna write it for me? lol....ok so if you are looking for me the library is where I will be for the rest of my life....or i will procrastinate and do it all in the last week.

The Wizard of the Gold Ounce
Did anyone know that the Wizard of Oz was written as like a populist argument about the gold standard in the United States.Dorothy was the American people, Oz stood for an ounce of gold, Dorothy's slippers were origianlly sivler and walking on the yellow brick road represented the bimettacllic standard but MGM changed them to red cuz they were more flashy on the screen.
The Good WIthches of the NOrth and South represent New England and the South which were populist strongholds while the Wicked Wtich of the East was the Eastern banking and industries. The scarecrow was western farmers, the tinman was eastern workers who were so dehumanized they didn't even have a heart, the cowardly likon was Wiliam Jenings Bryantand the Emeral City was Washington DC. THe Wizard was President Mckinley.
Insanity...I always just thoguht it was a movie for kids.

Summertime Fun
I want a mansion on the beach. Last night we went to a party at a beach house mansion. It had a tennis court and gym and everything. It was quite amazing. The party was a lot of fun and slowly fell into naked water revelry. Who knew you could learn the entire history of Native Americans from someone with no pants on, or that I would give someone a piggy back ride while they were just wearing a thong. I'm not normally inot being naked but it was fun, although I did throw up from being in the water too much. I am so ridiculously weak stomached. It wasn't even that wavy and i got like motion sickness from being in the water and running around. BOnfires are so nice. Surprisingly we found our way there and home pretty without trouble. THat's all for now...
