my political science class has group discussions about central issues every week, usually covering issues like gun control or gay marriage, the classics. i'm not one to offer my opinion in front of a group of strangers, so usually i sit quietly in the midst of the madness and just listen. a few times i've been called on by my professor to speak up and when i have spoken, my arguments have been pretty good. but today i got cocky. i actually raised my hand and spoke about illegal downloading of music and was promptly shot down by my professor and left to flounder silently for what was really a few moments but felt like a very slow 5 minutes. i've spent the rest of the day returning to that moment and it makes my stomach roll (i'm like that with embarrassing moments).
i'm not saying that my opinion was right (it probably wasn't) but it's my opinion. i don't like having discussions where the main goal is to verbally destroy another person just because you can. i don't like "i know more than you, you're a fool" conversations. what progress does that make? debating is fine, but pwning someone just for having an opinion is unnecessary.
i wish Kat Dennings would start posting vlogs again. she's genuinely funny and i could watch those pillowy red lips of hers make words for hours.
i know that Lady Gaga is a good example of how superficial and synthed pop music is now...but i still love her.
well off to work. i'll blog/Tweet while i'm there just in case something interesting happens.
