Cyncism, GMAT Studying, and Tunes

Well, I haven't blogged in sometime. Again. My explanation is my computer sits in my living room and well I can't write if someone else is in the room. I need a safe quite place and my new living arrangement doesn't lend itself towards that. I am contemplating a laptop purchase though which may or may not increase my blogging frequency.

The other reason I haven't blogged in awhile is I have been trying to figure out what the hell I am doing with this blog and why. I know a few reason I started and a few reasons that developed over time. Yet, I am not sure I am accomplishing what I would like to accomplish. I think part of the issue is my tone comes across cynical. I am not trying to turn people in to cynics -- I swear. I guess if I was trying to do anything it is for people to look past the cynicism and realize that a world exists beyond it. Truth and all that jazz aside. If you stop trying to name it and define it. You'll find something truly spritual and undefinable. Maybe it is God maybe it isn't what does it matter what you call it?

With that behind me. I have decided to start studying for the GMAT. I have only begun and my mind is already in a constant state of hurt. Good lord I should of taken it straight out of college when I at least had some mathematical aptitude still fresh in my mind. Oh well.

As for the reason behind studying for the GMAT. I needed to make a decision on what was the next step. This honestly is the easiest. I love school so beginning the steps to go back is just the easy answer. The true answer is I still don't know. There still seems like there is something not right with the decision. I can't put my finger on it. I am not sure what exactly. But, I am at the point where I can't deal with an more indecision and if I commit to this at least I am one step closer to determining if this is the right step or not. Hopefully I can muster enough determination to get through it and actually take the test.

I would like to leave you with a couple of ditties that insipired me today.

If you haven't heard of this guy and I am sure you haven't check out his myspace page and buy the cd. You wont regret it. Beautiful. His name is Matthew Perryman Jones. This video is a little rough on the recording. ( Sorry but props goes out to my boy Anderson Layne for this one. If it wasn't for him I would never have discovered this.)



And wasn't Iris one of the greatest songs of the 90s. Favorite line - And you bleed just to know you're alive. (A little nostalgia never hurt anyone.)



Hell why not one more. I am not a Sheryl Crow fan but this song again made me rember the early 90s (listening to Rick Dee's top 40 all night long when the folks think you are in bed asleep) and I'll be damned if it ain't half bad. (I have been kinda on a early 90s kick -- songs that introduced me to rock and roll)

I used to listen to country music, non stop... And the reason I actually started listening to Star 94 was because of that Sheryl Crow song. I'd wait all day long just to hear it, and in the end, I learned all the other songs.

:)

Good luck with the GMAT if you do end up taking it..

The GMAT isnt too bad....if you study you will be fine. At least it is computerized which makes it that much better.

You should take the LSAT and go to law school like me :-).

So A I really don't want to be a lawyer. Good luck too you though Leah. I'll just remeber you said the GMAT wasn't to hard when I fail miserably. It will make me fell that much better.

And to Morgan. I used to listen to country non-stop all the time (Garth Brooks is still the shit.)and then I got into ol Star 94 and Rick Dee's
