"They faded before their own eyes, till they were nothing more than living ghosts, haunting each other with what could be. With what can’t be. There, now. Isn’t that the scariest story you’ve ever heard?"

— A Great and Terrible Beauty, Libba Bray (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)

"You matter, even your dreams matter, and never forget that. Never give up and always try your hardest to succeed, because one day you will feel that sense of accomplishment and realize that all the work you put into achieving it was worth it. Every time you thought it would never happen you were wrong, and every time someone told you no, your mind said go… BELIEVE!"

— My high school track coach, Mr. Mitchell, upon celebrating his 60th birthday a couple of days ago. I swear, the dude never stops coaching. Seriously.

Choice quote, on Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden:

He achieves an intensely rhythmic delivery of the lyrics without losing legato and musical momentum, something a lot of classical singers struggle with, especially when interpreting the many staccato and accent markings that crowd scores by Bellini, Donizetti, etc.

I love Bruce Dickinson and mostly agree with everything the writer says. Ozzy, even though he rules, has a horrible voice.

If we’re talking about true male vocal talent in hard rock or metal, then honestly, Geoff Tate from Queensryche should be on one of these lists. Nothing to do with Queensryche as a band, or Queensryche’s subject matter (because it’s gotten pretty cheesy after Empire and Operation: Mindcrime was AMAAAAAAAZING), but that dude has sick range.

Average MBA grads’ starting salary from all the business schools in metro NY & NJ, 2008 & 2009. I don’t really know how to think or feel about this for a variety of reasons that I don’t want to get into in public, but there it is. Also, strangely, I’m not sure that I care since I can’t change my mind and transfer. Do I care? Should I care?

I’m just happy to know that I can earn back my whole freakin’ dual degrees’ tuition in one year’s salary… that is, assuming that I don’t buy anything major or that something foreseen right now in my life doesn’t require crapload of money… which was the plan all along… uh, errr…

TUITION WHY ARE YOU SO FREAKIN’ EXPENSIVE WHY WHY WHY

Fu*kyeahMorrisDayandTheTime. How sick is this song and the accompanying dance routine? Yes. Pretty fu*king sick. I can’t think of a better scene in Purple Rain to be quite honest. Seriously.

Ohweeohweeoh!

This is totally how I feel about my relationship with politics. Now that I think about it, “Very Pragmatic Bran Muffins” is my career in a nutshell.
