from the nytimes:

“So what’s it really like to be old?” I often ask my patients, who are mostly in their late 80s and 90s, and the responses are unexpected.

“I forgot I was so old,” a 100-year-old patient recently told me, and then excused herself to make it to bingo on time.

Why is this unexpected? Old people forgetting things and going to bingo? Sounds about right to me.

Is reading books useless?
Whenever I read a book I can't help but think about what I am getting out of it and whether it's worth the time.

I can't feel myself learning anything anymore.
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Eccl. 1:9)
I might actually believe this.

books I have read recently
- vacation
- special topics in calamity physics
- park city: new and selected stories
- white noise
started amy hempel's short stories but never finished

Feeling lousy. I think I need to make myself a P DIDDY.

"Ok here we go!!! How to make a P DIDDY: it easy! Pink lemonade and CIROC vodka!!! Let's go!!!!!"
- you know where

all I ever do is quote things all the time, always.

noreply@blogger.com (Ami) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:00:00 +0000

what am I doing
I just watched the same music video like fifty times
what do I want
what is important
how do I go about trying to feel like a person
do I care about anything
what should I be doing with my time

pdiddy sounds like a fulfilled and self-assured person who would know the answers to these questions if he asked them of himself

"I'm hungry!!! Tryin to get some french toast!! Scram eggs wit cheese! Hungry!!!"

"You know you could be doin more!!! Are you giving 110 percent!! No your not!!! Let's go people! Let's be GREAT!!! Go hard or go HOME!!!!"

How to Feel Better When It's Sort of Late and You Can't Sleep Because of How You Feel: A Guide

1. Put on some music. (Must be cheerful enough to have a positive effect on you, but not so cheerful as to make you feel alienated from the rest of the world.)

2. Get off the internet. (You will be tempted to watch Gossip Girl or something that you can escape into, but watching it will only depress you when you realize that you just don't enjoy it like usually do because you just don't give a shit.)

3. Clean your room. (Throw out the garbage on the floor. Put clothes in the hamper. Hide everything else in the closet.)

4. Alphabetize your books.

5. Make a list.

6. Do laundry. (optional)

7. Blog about it.

8. Feel depressed that you are on the internet again.

9. Know you should just try to sleep but instead look at Tao Lin's blog.

10. Try not to think about it. Click on a link about an "internet mammal."
