Mason Williams - Classical Gas

So I just went to a Christmas Concert by Mason Williams and Friends and because it is 40 years of the song Classical Gas they showed this video from 1968. I thought it was great and amusing. I was recently told it is not "very funny" as it is not "ridiculous humor" and does not meet the mark of "funny" deemed appropriate by some of my peers. Regardless I hope you enjoy it.

Procrastinating

It is Sunday night and I have had the last two days to accomplish something towards my goal of finishing for finals. But I have accomplished very little. I have this thought that I will have plenty of time to finish it all. The same time I am consciously wasting now. I just can't bring myself to do anything. Drafting sounds hard, reading is tedious and writing complicated. So I am procrastinating this work that I think I should be doing wishing it would do itself. So I will leave this post with yet another quote something from about a year ago:

"Life begins to make sense when every action you take, you take with yourself and your future in mind. It is not selfishness as selfishness implies greed... No simply allowing yourself the pleasure of being you is the most important thing you can do. You need to make yourself a priority in you own life."

Song

Beyonce - "If I were a boy"

Have you heard it? I just heard it and watched the video. I want to know what everyone thinks?

It has interesting gender discussion

Go watch it here

Formulaic Life

I am traveling on a path,
journey through life
waiting to reach the next
Stop,
Location,
Destination,
where I will make sense of my wanders.

I am done with
formulaic patterns
required of school
always the same
teaching, learning, regularity.
I am bound,
Trapped
by what my professors
want, teach, think.
I itch for freedom from monotony,
Boredom.

I am searching for something.
Afraid it will take a lifetime to find
yet it stares back
like it is right in front of me.

I have claimed,
demanded,
asserted,
that my education is my own.
I made it my life,
guiding force.
I consumed it.

Now
I need to
claim my life,
demand my future,
assert my happiness.

I have looked and not found myself in
Wrong places, spaces, ideas.
You do not reside in other people, classes, groups.

True identity comes from within and that is found
right where You are,
right where You sit,
right where You live.
