what up.
so i was mulling around when i came to an important realization: the legend of zelda has ruined my chances of happiness. from an early age, our generation (mostly the boys) have been playing video games, in which the main protagonist always has to save the world or equivalent from some great evil. the most prominent of these in my mind is zelda, and i've always identified with link as a character, simply because i idolized the valiant struggle he faced in every reincarnation of the cult classic from the 80's. however, this desire to become the so called "hero of time" is futile, because i will never be able to aspire to such levels of greatness, at least from a heroic perspective. there are no princesses for saving, no master swords hidden in the forest for me to find using only vague clues and some clever in game guidance. instead, i will have to get a job. this is why kids do drugs. because imagination ultimetly leads to the realization that the shit you can come up with in your head is so much cooler than real life could ever be. so until i can dress up in a green tunic and a hat, carry a big sword and a hyrulian shield, and collect the pieces of the triforce in order to save the world from the evil wizard ganondorf and win the heart of the beautiful princess zelda, i will never be truly happy.
well, i guess i could always just play the game again. someone go tell my mom to send me my n64, a tv, and a comfy chair.
no wait, send me mario tennis instead. some punk downstairs thinks he can take me.

what up.
prague is awesome. i'm not going to ramble about it, but if you are ever up REALLY early in the morning, or incredibly late at night, you might catch me sitting at the powerbook trying to download american music and look at facebook. i'm trying to figure out why blogger is all in czech. i'm scared.
anyway, i wanted to prompt a discussion. at 11 am eastern european time, (around 5 am in ny) i received word that an nyu girl (and a cleftomaniac for the a capella saavy) passed away in a car crash, which sucks. she was really cool and i was saddened by the news. so i visited her facebook, only to discover the wall had been plastered with a variety of well wishes from friends. now if i was dead, i'd appreciate the show of support, but some of it seemed rather irreverant. somehow the phrase r.i.p. should not make it onto someones wall unless its some sort of joke. but i'm not really sure where the line is in this case. any thoughts blog fans?
