The kid is slightly bemused at how things are turning out.
The kid is leaning a little towards despondent.
The kid should really stop being so curious and suspicious about everything.
The kid needs to stop getting so caught up in the little things.
The kid just needs to stop sweating every single detail.
The kid can't wait for his birthday, but is dreading the crash that always comes immediately afterwards.
The kid is slowly, but surely, growing into an angry, bitter, cynical and resentful young man.
The kid knows what needs to happen; he just doesn't know how to go about doing it.
The kid had a lot more to write about, but it's all fallen out of his head now.
- marty..
P.S. The kid knows that he'll be a lot less ornery by the time his birthday rolls around.

My Birthday
Eleven days out from my birthday, and a fortnight away from my party, I'm putting up a preview of my birthday playlist. I picked most of these out a good two months ago; I love my birthday like that.
Warning: there will be a lot of Kanye played on that night. I've loved him for five years. You should be used to it by now.
Can't. Fucking. Wait.

Quote
I know HIMYM hasn't been all that funny lately (early Season 4, I'm looking right at you), but I kinda dug this exchange between Barney and Marshall. Or maybe I was delirious from waking up at 7AM, I don't know.
Barney: But let's be clear. I don't love her. I just...miss her when she's not around, I think about her all the time and I imagine us one day running towards each other in slow motion and I'm wearing a brown suede vest.
Marshall: You ever gonna tell her how you feel?
Barney: No! Maybe. NEVER! I don't know.
Barney then attempts to chug down an empty glass of whatever he'd been drinking (I'd like to think it was scotch, but that's only because I'm out of scotch myself).
...Shut up, it was funny to me.

Quickie entry before I get some sleeps. Just wanted to say that THIS is possibly the greatest article ever written in history. Y'know, excessive hyperbole aside. But hey, you can't go wrong with the following formula: the Lakers winning a Playoff game, mentioning Kobe having a great game and, to top it all off, adding in references to songs and lyrics from, ahem, Mister Kanye Omari West. AHEM.
"Bryant finally engaged for a stretch in the second quarter, toying with Kyle Korver and CJ Miles, then shaking his head and making 'he can't guard me' faces at Kanye West sitting courtside. 'That's my man,' Bryant said. 'I'm a huge fan.' "
Kobe, a Kanye fan. Somehow, that just seems to make sense. This is awesomeness to the nth degree, for real.
Anyways, one down, fifteen to go. Let's do this.

Worrying
The kid is a lot more than just catastrophic. He may also possibly be:
Irascible: Catch me in a bad mood, and I may verbally eviscerate you for doing so. Venomous. Vitriolic. Likelihood of explosion varies inversely with amount of sleep, and directly with how annoying you are.
Cynical: Expects the worst in every situation. If there's a chance that something will go wrong, then it probably will. Possible byproduct of ridiculously low self-esteem. Or maybe, a lifetime of being an optimist continually proven wrong has taken its toll on me.
Bitter: I have a lot of angry thoughts brewing in my mind. Seems like nowadays, I'm perpetually ornery. I just need to let it out in small doses, instead of massive explosions (or, in my case, alcohol-fueled nervous breakdowns in the middle of the City).
Neurotic: Exhibits an overboard level of anxiety about situations. As irrational as my thought processes can get, I still stick with them. Maybe this ties into my cynicism idea? But as the motto goes: "D.T.A. - Don't trust anybody."
Determined: I know it takes me ages to get through things that I've started, but *most* of the time, I'm bull-headed enough to try and finish them. Matter of fact, you can pretty much change this one to KidStubborn. I'm loath to give up on something, just 'cause I always want (read: need) to be right. You can't tell me nothing.
Irreverent: Looking for someone who screams mean, disrespectful and crude things to others, just for the sake of shock value? Look no further. Hell, some people even call me Hitler nowadays.
Insane: I'm crazy. I'm talking, voices-in-my-head, conversations-with-myself, kind of crazy.
- marty..
P.S. I don't necessarily believe in all of the stuff I've written above. Some of 'em are just thoughts floating around in my head that I needed to get out before it overwrote important things. Like, say, my Honours thesis.

Oh, too much loves to blog! I figure now's as good a time as any, especially since this PS3 Update is ridonculously large and kills my life!
It just hit me not too long ago that I had a little bit of a movie marathon today. Three movies might not sound like much of a marathon to an actual movie buff, but for someone like me, who has a millisecond-long attention span, that's saying something.
And I realised it was probably a good idea to get out of my own head for a while. I love how movies take your mind somewhere else for a couple of hours and force you to focus on something other than your own life. So, for me, it was great to be fixated on something other than paranoid thoughts, petty issues, friendships (and their potential endings), embarassing things I might've done over the weekend, dead ends and the nerve-wracking prospect of being an EXPERIMENTER for the next couple of months. Y'know, amongst other things.
I started off with 27 Dresses. No, don't laugh. It wasn't by choice. I was vouching for a horror movie, but my cousins vetoed me by way of majority, and picked out a rom-com. But hey, at least I got to see fine ass Katherine Heigl get with...Cyclops. HA.
Moral of the story: Just put Katherine Heigl on screen, and honestly, I don't give a shit; she can just stand there for three hours doing nothing for all I care. I'm down.
Then I had some quality Karl & Julz time, and we watched Notorious. Worth the hype. As bad as some of the casting choices were (Puffy and Tupac, I'm looking at you), others were spot on (Biggie, Lil' Kim and Faith, I'm looking at you. Faith, especially. Word!). As a Biggie fan who was too young to actually live through his prime, and as someone who up to now had only really heard the Death Row side of the story, it was a trip to see how they played everything out. Definitely one for the collection.
And now, for the finale. If you want to experience escapism in a movie, you can't do much better than Street Fighter. Yup, this one. This movie is in the running for the Best Unintentionally Comedic Movie of All Time. And with lines like these, it might not even be close.

Bison: You have made me a very happy man.
Colonel William F. Guile: And next, I'll make you a dead one.
Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.
Colonel William F. Guile: That bastard Bison! I know you like to look at yourself on television, you sick son of a bitch. So look at this!
Honestly, after that shit...it's a wash. Made me scratch my head, cringe and, most importantly, laugh over and over again. BEST!
