The door creaks. It closes shut. Suddenly, a trill slowly gets louder and louder. The door slowly creaks open. Open just enough so a mouse can sneak away from the ghastly aura. Finally, the silence returns. The door creaks and slams shut. This is the bar room. It could be the howling wind; it could be the friendly ghost.
In Da Club- 50 Cent vs. Eric Prydz by DJTP
"The truth is that many who leave the faith or turn away from God do so because they have come to realize that this mindset led to nothing more than a shallow or empty relationship with God." Read this if you want to reflect on Christianity. It's getting clearer, but still murky.
Tupac vs. Andrea Bocelli-My Block by DJTP
My brother and I talked about our childhood, our parents, and our future. It revealed a lot to both of us about who we are, who we're becoming, and why we're becoming what we're bound to become. It's comforting to know that we talked about things I never mentioned to anyone for over 10 years. Slowly, I'm realizing what family is all about. In the past, I've claimed that I was a family man who cared about nothing more than my family. I knew I was lying when I selfishly left my family in the dust to hang out with friends when they needed me the most. I don't regret it because I made friendships that I still cherish and I realize that I won't repeat the same mistake twice. Even though I never tell my family, it doesn't mean that I don't love them.
Only 99 Problems-Jayz vs. Enya by DJTP
There's only three weeks left in the semester. Then one more semester, maybe one more. Then off to life! Adult-life, how much I dread the thought of waking up at 6 am every morning. I guess the money will be enough motivation..
Airplanes vs. Nothin to Lose by DJTP
The Bulls are so exciting! Luol Deng definitely stepped it up this season. Joakim Noah made a lot of progress on D and on offense. DRose is sick. The passing and motion offense is a lot better than I thought. One more month until Booze!

-Untitled-
In the last 36 hours, I have been obsessing with this one show which I refuse to ever mention outside my apartment. Why? It is too eerily what I seek in life. The excitement, the danger, the unknown, the surprise, and the beauty that have trapped me to my computer. Mindlessly absorbed in fiction I cannot break the habit.
And then it happened. I fall asleep and I become the hero. Traveling around the world while simultaneously saving it. Running after terrorists in the streets of Vienna. Coming across the scent of violet which resonates from the flowers found everywhere but Illinois. Stopping a nuclear bomb from exploding and saving thousands of lives. Walking in the gym without anyone ever finding out what had occurred.
I wake up and I find myself in a familiar setting. I'm around the friends I've always had and the friends I've just made. I go to all of my classes - even my biochemistry class that I dread. I make myself a huge meal. Friends visit on the weekend. An old friend walks in. We catch up and talk about what we've missed out on. I even bring up the lucid dream I recently had. We continue to talk and eventually it comes up. It's not something I used to feel comfortable talking about, but why does it matter? It's been years and its relevance doesn't affect our lives at this point. We reconcile. Something stupid had eventually snowballed into something big. That snowball had just been crushed to reveal that nothing had started it. A mistake had just been fixed.
I rarely regret things in life and never consider them as mistakes. To fix them, I distract myself with friends, family, and booze. So I guess that really isn't fixing anything, but it sure does beat out feeling any regret. Years pass and the regret that overcomes me forces me to face my mistake. I can either learn from the mistake and live without making anymore mistakes, or I can try to undo the mistake with the help of my time machine! (kidding) By facing our demons, we undo time. The mistake is corrected. The end.
And then I wake up. (OMG! It's a double rainbow - er, dream...) That was some Inception bullshit. No people saved from nuclear bombs. No Mediterranean meals. No reconciliation. Same old reality. I have never felt so comfortable with a dream, only to have life feel like it rewinded. Double dreams, touche. I blame my subconscious for letting stupid people inside my brain. We need to beef up the security!

Take 5
So Inception is definitely the best movie of this summer. I watched it for the second time and I enjoyed the little details that I forgot. The fight scenes were cooler. The foreshadowing was written all over it. It was amusing to watch The Chemist in the movie. I'll give you a hint - 7/11 funny. Now the best part was that I was spacing out at the end, already realizing what was about to happen and what already had happened in the movie. I continued to space out and then I came to my own realization. There was a time when I thought I really knew something. An idea that was solidified as fact. Religions are all based on leaps of faith. And at the end of our lives, someone will be there to say, "and we'll be together." That idea which makes you snap out of reality when you realize you're not actually at the end of your life, but only in the present reading this blog. Funny, huh? So the reality of it is that I thought was once between the godfather and the godson. With all the advising that took place, the godson realized he was not advised, but controlled. Controlled into pushing away the one thing he cherished the most - love. Fischer then believes what he should do next. And then ending plays out.
On the drive home, it was freaky as hell driving down a road surrounded by forests, from which the town was named (Elk Grove). It was comforting to know that there could be elk (or deer) were roaming the streets. By the end of the road, I become immersed under the artificial light coming from the hunchback poles and I realize it's safe. Haha, corny. I can't believe that was my attempt at a faux-Inception experience. Well, back to reality. It was crazy thinking that at any given moment, you could realize that everything was once a dream. Lifting your head up. Seeing the professor continue with his mundane lecture. Only to realize you were dreaming within multiple realities. Haha, I did it again. Back to reality.
There's a good ass song out by Wiz Khalifa (Hey Girl) and it keeps playing in my head. So chill.
The Cubs traded Theriot and Lilly? Damn it. The Bears season can't come any sooner. I can't wait to see that new offense and replenished defense. The Bulls season looks to start off great. They're mentioned on marquee days for the NBA. Seems like there's gonna be more hype on the young team. Hopefully, they don't crash and burn (especially if they sign TMac).
What skips in this logical gap? Reaganomics was supposed to give the rich tax cuts so they can spend more money to create jobs. Now, under this cycle's effect of the conservative economic policy of the government has come full circle. Especially with the profits increasing and not a lot to show for it, people start to become enlightened by a liberal policy that the rich paying the government to pay for the poor's plight. The working class doesn't suffer after receiving aid from the government. So the tax cuts come to haunt the constituents. The rich get a needless break during a recession, while the rest are still in need. Now when jobs are demanded, the rich do not have any jobs to offer even after receiving large tax cuts. Essentially they have no money to invest in the common people. Instead, they hold on to it and choose a globalized policy which saves money and increases profit. Where is the irony?

Meh, I'm being an insomniac. Didn't need to rant, but getting to know the "rich's plight" has suddenly become tiresome. That progressive radio talk is quite entertaining. They do the exact same things they criticize about the conservatives. I wonder why they didn't look like the same before? Boring.
I wish I knew what to say...
Taco Bell came out with tacos with onion and cilantro!?! I forget what they're called, but it seems more authentic. Can't wait to try!
If no one's heard this song yet, they should really get out more often.
