New loves
By the way, I got my first mp3 this Christmas. An I-pod shuffle! Although it is only a 1GB, I've already fell completely in love with it. And because of it, I am falling in love with Ben Gibbard. Everyone must listen to Death Cab for Cutie's We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes and the Postal Service's The Give Up. Gibbard is the lead singer of these two bands and these two CD's are absolutely wonderful. Any other good CD's I should look into?
Creativity, please!
I am reading The Bohemian Manifesto.
Not because I am Bohemian, but I secretly wish to be one.
I love the arts, but sadly I am not artistic.
And I have too many material things that I simply cannot live without
i.e. my cellphone and Jeep unit.
I would love to be a writer, but as you can tell from my blogs...I can't write. Once in awhile, I'll come up with some wonderful piece of work. In the fourth grade, I wrote a short story about a heroin and a witch that won an award...I wish I could find that! In my junior year of high school, I wrote a story about a cheerleader who had an affair with the basketball coach. That was pretty awesome. And most papers I write turn out getting high grades--so why do I lack creativity when it actually matters to me? I want to write poetry, I want to write a book or even the comic with Mish, and I want to write journal/blog entries that will actually interest my audience.
At least I am going to school for something I am passionate about. Now, only if I could get through all those stupid classes that I have to take, but have nothing to do with my major!
Oi.....

Top Five Cities
It's been awhile since I have posted anything, but I do check up on Mish's blog quite often. She and her husband were doing this whole "five cities" thing that I wanted to join in on.
1.NYC--I haven't been there, but I am infatuated with it--the whole idea of it. The Sex and the City lifestyle (without all the sex) appeals to me. I would like to teach at a college there someday.
2.Milwaukee--I think Milwaukee has such a better feel to it than Kenosha does. I plan on getting my teaching certificate or master's from UWM, so most likely I'll live there sometime soon.
3.Chicago--Another place I would like to live, but its way too expensive and has a high crime rate, but it has a really great theater scene and other arts. If I can't get out to NYC, maybe I'll find a job there and teach.
4.The Twin Cities--I loved going there with Michelle and I regret not having gone back since. Maybe we should make a trip?
5.Madison--another one in Wisconsin, just for the fact that I hardly ever go anywhere outside of Wisconsin. I like the shops and the college atmosphere, but I don't think I could actually live there.
