thE imPorTanCe of geNeraL oBserVanceS

General observances seem to play a bigger role than most people recognize. I say so because these are the things that everyone observes so some may think that it isn't worth mentioning. I do think they're worth mentioning, however, so here are a few of my observances for today:::::::


:FIRST: I really enjoy walking to classes with music. To me, it is kind of like adding theme music to your life! Hahahaha I think of Cronk from the Emperor's New Groove when I think of theme music. I suppose the difference is that he made his own and I use my iPod. Come on, you know what I mean, and if you don't then you should give it a try! Two that I'm enjoying right now are Sam Sparro's "Black and Gold" http://www.metacafe.com/watch/746240/sam_sparro_black_gold/
and Kevin Rudolf (ft. Lil Wayne) "Let It Rock" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3gGQfyVyw
These are great theme songs!


:DEUX: I wrote a pretty bad poem about my walk to class.......
Right Left Right Left
heads tilted down finding a connection
long strands of white cord flow from ears
avoid ice avoid hurtling bike avoid cloud of smoke
deep breath fresh air
still accosted by the haze
faster now leftrightleftright
escape there

:TRES: When I came to my seat in class I saw a flyer I read a few lines on the back side then flipped it over. The title read "Increase Your Reading Speed! Free Seminar" However, a part of it was shaded out by whoever had left it there. I know that it is so immature of me to laugh at this but I think that sometimes it is okay to get a laugh out of something like this. After all, who thinks to find these words in a flyer title? If you ask me it's pretty amazing. I cannot imagine the process or if the person just saw it and was showing someone else?



As always, just let me know if there's anything that you would like me to discuss or just make a comment about this post!

  1. Walking to music is fun to me too. I always feel as though im in a movie or a music video in a sense. It makes the harsh cold more barabol as well, taking your mind off how freaking freezing the wind is blowing into your face. The flyer is hilarious. Im sure many many many people would find it to be as well, ven if they dont want to admit it. Sometimes you cant be so uptight and take little things like that so serious.

  3. I remembered this post the next time I saw one of these flyers in a classroom. I totally shaded the letters, because a.) you're right, it's one of those immature moments to just embrace, and b.) I agree with you that I would never have thought of it, so I just had to duplicate the original artist's brilliance.

    I hope I made someone else laugh like you did. (Besides myself.) =)
