Last week I took a road trip to Indiana with my friends Rebecca and Sjrsten to see our friend Swati. The students at Swati's university all seemed really depressed and anti-social. It was weird. I think it was the lack of sunshine and freezing weather. But when we made a (huge) effort to try and get those depressed Indianaians to be social, they finally gave positive response. This made me wonder: why are most strangers initially so cold? "Stranger" in itself is a terrible word that labels people with negative connotations. Everywhere in the world, people are social beings, so shouldn't we all be open with each other? Unite the people, unite the countries, unite the world. No?

This dude traveled to all these places in 2008 alone. He met thousands of people, and danced with a bunch. Now isn't that a better life than being a depressed student in Indiana? By the way, replace any title for "student" and place for "Indiana" and I'm sure that that sentence is applicable to pretty much everyone.
On another note, let's talk music real quick.
It's good to expand your musical horizons. Lately I've been listening to a lot of British house music, bands like N-Joi, 808 State, Opus III, and Eat Static. These were the bands that took over the underground and club scenes in England in cities like Manchester, Birmingham, and London, of course with the help of ecstasy.
And to go with the music, check out some clothes.
For the Ladies:
Colorful and fun outfits. They're wonderful.
For the Guys:
You don't get a picture because I don't feel like finding a good one. However, a good spot to find indie/mod clothing is here.
To close this up, I leave you with this: A new monkey was discovered called the Golden Palace.com Monkey. They named nature after a website? Bullshit? I think so.
Here's a picture of the lovable disgrace.
Peace to all.
I love 'where the hell is matt?' !
