Here lately I have been going to the library. Not only have I been able to concentrate much more, but I have seen an improvement in my overall intelligence. I have found that starbucks is a problem when it comes to studying. Distraction is all it is here at starbucks, and at the library I get my own little cubby with nothing in it, only my computer screen. It's pretty simplistic and minimalist, but it is worth it. Having no distraction will not only help stress, but boost creativity. Having less means having so much more. With all that is thrown at me during the day, whether it be ads, people, pets, confusion of traffic, I need a little peace once in a while. Solitude is a beautiful thing and the more people become comfortable with being alone, the sooner they realize this and the more they will accomplish. Being alone helps you concentrate on what it is you love doing and in my case I continue to have a passion for music and film, two powerful ingredients in media. Both can be used for the good and bad. Low culture and high culture are two different things, and while people are watching low culture reality shows, high culture is being pushed out and being unappreciated. That is not to say high culture will vanish, I just think the low culture needs to move the fuck out of the way so room for real teaching can make its way through.

by the way happy anniversary 9/11. I thought anniversaries were supposed to be peaceful, not filled with asshole protesters protesting against the building of a mosque near ground zero. Not smart for Islams to do, but they have a right to do it, no disrespect, or are they having disrespect for 9/11? We'll see.
