Sometimes I am confident, sometimes I am not. I guess it depends on a lot of things: circumstance, context, mood, weather, etc. When it comes to doing anything at all in front of a group of 3 or more people, I am not usually confident. I recognize this as a problem I will have to handle and defeat to become a successful journalist.
Skipping my news reporting class because I am too embarrassed to show up late, so I'd rather not go at all...not exactly good progress in the direction of becoming more confident. Hmm...
I'm really into slow folksy music lately, as well as peppy synth-pop - I guess that's the best way to describe it. For instance, Will Fitzsimmons' cover of "Heartless" (Kanye West) is a constant play of mine. On the other end of my music latest addiction, "Oxford Comma" by Vampire Weekend. Not really a great song to get a feel for them with if you take offense to cuss words; in which case, I also have been playing "Walcott (Insane Mix)".
On another note of media, the list of best picture nominees is a mile long! I'm really surprised at some of them getting on that list too. A sign of the times I guess. I just didn't really get "Inglorious Basterds". I mean more, I guess, that it didn't jive well with me, but I guess it is the way of society to wait a while for the dust to settle before making an awkward bad joke out of a touchy situation. As for "District 9", all I can do here is say, really?! Wow.
Amongst things other than overplaying a song until it hurts for me to listen to, I am addicted to Craig's List missed connections. Except finding something good in them is like a needle in a haystack. I've found some really hilarious ones, and some really heartbreaking ones. Either way, they're pretty fun to sift through.
Well, off I go to my next class, I'll be on time to that one...only because I've been waiting around for over an hour. Sheeshh...I've gotta grow a pair, already.
