Bipedal? Yes. Bisexual? No. I am quite flattered, but my attraction is explicitly reserved for women and Ryan Gosling. Ryan Gosling’s special.

…but that’s also a beautiful movie which I would recommend for anyone to see. I just feel this quote captures the repressed feelings of those less outgoing men who sometimes wish for no more than to be acknowledged, rather than always being the first to awkwardly let the word “Hello” trip out of their mouths.

So evidently I’m not being whimsical enough with the use of my blog. It’s philosophy, people, not a photo album of the internet. But rather than spurn the idea, I have decided to begin a secondary blog in the following URL: http://doctorbr00tz.tumblr.com/.

Here is where everyone can take a look at what I come across that is particularly amusing in my regular voyages and adventures through the Information Super Highway. WARNING: Like my current blog, this one will remain largely devoid of reblogs…unless I feel like it.

I look forward to sharing my dry sense of humor with you.

Wishing everyone save online travels,

Julian.

…What makes you content? Vague, right? Good. Leaves the question open for interpretation…

It’s probably a bit late to answer your follower question, Julian, but I found it interesting. So, here goes.

There are many things in the world that bring me contentment. All of them are little things, like reading a scribbled-in second-hand book, finishing an essay for AP Euro, or baking a delicious cake. Still, I see things this way due to my own definition of contentment.

I see the state of being content as something not brought on by big happenings, but through more understated, everyday things. For example, if I won a million dollars in the lottery, I’d be delighted, but not content. Heck, I wouldn’t be content if I found one dollar. Contentment, to me, has undertones of finality. It can’t be triggered by a random event like finding money; it must come as a result of my own actions. Also, it can’t come as a surprise or through other people: if my teacher graded me 100% in a Latin exam I thought I’d fail, I’d be ecstatic, not content. Yet, if I felt like I did a pretty good job on the test, I’d be content. (Until I received the scores, at which point my contentment could change rapidly to despair.)

I don’t know if I’ve managed to put across my point with lucidity, but I hope at least the gist of it has gotten through.

You actually got your point across very well. I understand that feeling of self assurance and closure that you’re referring to. I suppose that “content” can be described as a synonym of “satisfied”.
Your definition pretty much mirrors that of my own. I am content when I know I’ve put every ounce of possible work or insight into something (the significance of such effort paying off varies). You should very well be content with your not only worthy, but excellent input.

Thank you for your contributions!

Julian

Great promo for our school’s production of “The Laramie Project”, a play which all those who cannot accept themselves at full value should attend. We are nothing but “ourselves” and I think it’s high time people accepted it.

I AM awkward.

Thank you, Allison! That’s essentially what I was saying. As for the ghosts matter, let’s just say I’m ecto-agnostic.

Anything. It was meant to be a vague question.

As of today I am officially ending my follow back policy. I feel like (and I mean no offense) that the most active of the people I follow only supply things I find largely uninteresting to me. With that, I an also going to be unfollowing those who don’t interest me and that I feel are just flooding my dashboard and obscuring things I may actually be interested in. It’s nothing personal, I just don’t like your stuff.

Sincerely,

Julian.

Hey guys, just letting you know this is a final reminder to answer my “Follower Question”. Disappointed by lack of responses

Thank you,

Julian.
