So, it has been a good, long while since anything has happened here... but in life I have had some big changes (excuses)... I did get a loom though and below are some pictures to justify (?) my absence.

"Real" People

2010-01-09T08:14:00.000-08:00

I wrote this after my first semester freshman year at Skidmore College, and really believed it for a while. Then sophomore year I decided that it was totally presumptuous, and that if you got to know any person well enough you would see them as "real". Now I'm at a point where I believe it again, maybe not totally because I realize that when I wrote it I definitely catered it so that I would be able to see myself as "real", and that makes it a flawed theory.

Theory of what it means to be a “real person”, as seen by Mary Rynasko.

To live the life of a “real person’ one must be:

1.passionate

a. in terms of non material things

2. willing to live with little more than necessities

a. one’s current life doesn’t have to be bare, one simply has to believe that if forced he ore she wouldn’t mind losing their frivolous possessions

3. self-reflecting

a. daily questioning one’s self in terms of beliefs and progress toward becoming “real”

4. creative

a. be it physically or mentally

5. willing to trust that there is inherent goodness at the core of mankind

a. no matter who the person is there is a conscious inside them, and they have the capacity to be compassionate

A. It is possible to transcend from being “fake” to being “real”- mostly through the process of self-reflection

B. Individuals are easily classified in terms of their “reality” and many people I know, and even consider my friends are not “real”, but there is always the hope that through self-reflection they will become “real”.

C. It is not a fundamental requirement of “reality” but “real” people also tend to be highly independent. Companionship is a means of enjoyment and community, rather than survival common in those who are less “real”.

Aside: This is a relatively new theory that has been hatched in the past few months; probably after finding out that there are unfortunately few young people who are “real”. I do not yet Know if this theory is too premature and would hurt my underdeveloped friends, or possibly later myself.

*also I am afraid that I am being very pretentious—a characteristic not conducive to being “real”.

Happy New Year: Keep 2010 Scrub Free

2009-12-31T16:38:00.000-08:00

You'll notice that this is lip-synced, but it is from my own recording, and my own rearrangement of TLC's "No Scrubs".

Lyrics:

A scrub is a plant that thinks it’s fine

But is also known as a problem

Always growin’ and getting’ bigger

It’s startin’ to intrude, so

No, I don’t want your nuts.

No, I don’t wanna give you any of mine

I don’t wanna see you nowhere

No, you’re about to cross the line. so

No, I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

There’s a scrub sproutin’ there, but it really isn’t good

And I know that Gordon would protest

‘Cause he knows that the hazel stops other plants

From growin’ big and strong.

No, I don’t want your nuts.

No, I don’t wanna give you any of mine

I don’t wanna see you nowhere

No, you’re about to cross the line. So

No, I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

If you have the branches and swayin’

Oh yes son, I’m talkin’ to you

If you grow those nuts and their droppin’

Oh yes son, I’m talkin’ to you

If you were native but your too big now

Oh yes son, I’m talkin’ to you

Wanna take over the Burren

Oh no, I don’t want no

No scrub

No scrub, no, no

No, I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

See if you keep dominating the horizons

Then that classifies you as a scrub

Water rising

It shocks me that you keep growing and controlling the land

D’Arcy might claim that he’d rather have to deal with sand.

So let me give you something to think about inundate your roots

With ingredients to root you out

Lets clear the Burren of your thorny visage in front of me

Clean it up like the land that it shoulda be

Clarify my landscape with flora magnificent

Remove yourself from my sight and scent

Respectively, Soo No

I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me.

I don’t want no scrub

A scrub is a plant that can’t get no love from me

Hangin’ on the Burren, like a parasite

Tryin to encroach on me……….

And this Happened:

Happy New Year!

These are them:

(New Yorkers Ride Ponies)

(When Women Say Yes)

(Sit Down, Be Quiet, and Don't Be Cheeky)

(Alone Without Our Mothers/ Together With Our Fathers)
