    Urg. I have a speech to write for English, which I’m completely avoiding btw.

    Why on earth did I pick

    Nihilism

    :(

    oh well, I’ll figure something out I’m sure.

    It’s just that I’m reading about the author and he doesn’t like Nihilism and his book is NOT supporting it.  (at least that’s what I’ve read, I’m still lacking a little research) It seems like the author is more of an absurdism than anything, even though he doesn’t like to be ‘labeled’.

    fun quote things about Nilisium

    • Nihilism is the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.
    • A true nihilist would believe in nothing, have no loyalties, and no purpose other than, perhaps, an impulse to destroy.
    • Everything is the same, nothing is worthwhile, the world is senseless, knowledge strangles.  
    • Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
      Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
      The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.
    • Nihilism: any aim is lacking, any answer to the question “why” is lacking. What does nihilism mean?—that the supreme values devalued themselves.

    OH and some crazy songs have been stuck in my head lately, all songs that i used to love <3 (still do)

    “Tourniquet” by Evanescence

    do you remember me
    lost for so long
    will you be on the other side
    or will you forget me
    I’m dying, praying, bleeding and screaming
    am I too lost to be saved
    am I too lost?

    my God my tourniquet
    return to me salvation

    “Graduation (Friends Forever)” by Vitamin C

    Stay at home talking on the telephone
    We would get so excited and we’d get so scared
    Laughing at ourselves thinking life’s not fair
    And this is how it feels

    As we go on
    We remember
    All the times we
    Had together
    And as our lives change
    Come Whatever
    We will still be
    Friends Forever

    “Beauty From Pain” by Superchick

    After all this has passed, i still will remain
    After i’ve cried my last, there’ll be beauty from pain
    Though it won’t be today,
    Someday i’ll hope again
    And there’ll be beauty from pain
    You will bring beauty from my pain

    (and last but not least)

    “Revenge on the Radio” by Danger is my Middle Name

    One day you’ll hear me singing on the radio
    a song that I wrote for the lies you told

    Lights out this joke’s on you!
    Like a car crash right on cue
    or a stuck trigger and my bad mood
    on the radio

    Guess I’ll get to work :)

    Tags: , song, the stranger

    I just finished The Stranger for English and wow that was semi-depressing and dream shattering.

    Today I got my essay back and holy cow did my person have fun circling and writing, but that’s okay because it’s going to help me so much when I rewrite it this weekend. :)

    I’m sick of writing/blogging about school so time to talk about a song. If you’ve ever seen Quest for Camelot you’ll know this song

    I know the sound of each rock and stone
    And I embrace what others fear
    You are not to roam
    In this forgotten place
    Just the likes of me are welcome here
    Everything breathes
    And I know each breath
    For me it means life
    For others it’s death
    It’s perfectly balanced
    Perfectly planned
    More than enough
    For this man
    Like every tree
    Stands on its own
    Reaching for the sky
    I stand alone
    I share my world
    With no one else
    All by myself
    I stand alone
    I’ve seen your world
    With these very eyes
    Don’t come any closer
    Don’t even try
    I’ve felt all the pain
    And heard all the lies
    But in my world
    There’s no compromise
    Like every tree
    Stands on its own
    Reaching for the sky I stand alone
    I share my world
    With no one else
    All by myself
    I stand alone
    All by myself
    I stand alone
    All by myself
    I stand alone

    makes me feel all strong and stuff XD
