It was the duty of Europe to "fix" the world rather than allowing a natural social pogression. :p
1. I have no clue when my History midterm is due or what exactly the subject of the essay is supposed to be because apparently I suck and never picked up Term 2's course outline. So I'm sitting here writing a thorough and tedious essay on Imperialism even though I'm not really positive that's what I'm supposed to be writing about. If it's not due tommorrow, I'm going to be...
... a little relieved, probably. :P
EDIT: FUCK THIS ESSAY. I AM SO SERIOUS. I AM GOING TO QUOTE JOSEPH CONRAD IN IT WHO CARES IF HE'S NEVER COME UP IN CLASS.
ANOTHER EDIT: OKAY, OKAY. SO WHAT IF I TOTALLY CONTRAST RUDYARD KIPLING AND JOSEPH CONRAD IN ORDER TO HAVE A COHERENT THESIS? WOULD THAT WORK? IS IT TOO CREATIVE? IS IT TOO LAZY? I SERIOUSLY CANNOY FIND A FUCKING THESIS IN 500 WORDS OF PREPERATION NOTES. T___T
ESSAY IS DUE ON MARCH 5TH AND I AM DUMB YAAAAY. But at least I have 800 words of it already written. :P
2. This made me lol. The I downloaded it and it made me lol some more. Oh, Jack Thompson, where will your foolishness end?
3. I'm re-reading Trigun so everyone gets a BIG GAY COWBOY MUSIC POST from me because, wow, I really do love Western music and think it's a shame that so many people sell it short because of all that twanGing and wanging pop-station truck-worshipping love-sick sapping ballading that's become synonymous with country music. Because that crap? I hate it to. BUT REAL COUNTRY MUSIC. OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL. REALLY, I PROMISE.
Also, Brokeback Mountain joke. IT SEEMED SO OBVIOUS.
Sewanne Mountain - Drew Bunting
Drew Bunting is sixteen kinds of amazing and awesome. Unfortunately, he's also fourty-two kinds of obscure. More folk than anything, but with an undeniably western flair.
Return of the Grevious Angel - Cowboy Junkies
I guess the Cowboy Junkies are kind of girlie-pop-country BUT UNLIKE MOST GIRLIE POP COUNTRY THEY DEFINITELY STILL REALLY SOUND LIKE *REAL* WESTERN MUSIC. Lots of hymn-like choiring and slow, slow guitar echo in this thoroughly lovely song.
Pancho and Lefty and To Live is to Fly - Townes Van Zandt
BY THE WAY, TOWNES VAN ZANDT IS A GOD, OKAY?
Rusty Cage - Johnny Cash
Yeah, yeah. Johnny Cash, so overdone, blah blah blah. But I still love him and this song is still awesome.even if it wasn't written by him
Beautiful Child and Chelsea Hotel 2b - Rufus Wainwright
Rufus Wainwright isn't quite country, but he is sometimes. Also he's fantastic, so you get two songs by him too.
Cowboys are Frequently Secretely Fond of Each Other - Willie Nelson
YES, YOU DID READ THAT TITLE CORRECTLY. :D
Momentum - Aimee Mann
So it's nothing like country, but it's funky and upbeat and a very good description of a very typical human experience. UH, BONUS SONG FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ESPECIALLY HATE WESTERN? :O
He's still so little. T__T
