There are some mornings in which I make a resolution for the day. This morning I decided I wanted to cause as much trouble as I could everywhere I went. No reason in particular, but I figure we all need to test ourselves to learn who we are. Now I don't feel like explaining everything that happened in response to my abrupt decision, but I must admit even with the casualties, it is an experiment worth trying. No apologizing, all antagonizing to the point where someone refuses to even look at you.
Now I'm sure most of you (or at least those of you who know me) are thinking, "What the hell, this doesn't sound like something Danny would do at all." Well that's the point entirely. I encourage all of you to every once in a while make decisions, lasting but one day, that totally go against the grain of who you are. You can deal and learn from the consequences later. To some of you, this idea probably sounds enticing, yet something too off-hand and odd for you to actually do. Well, the only thing I can say is that you haven't much to lose and if you do, you have too much.
Give it a shot. And hell, let me know how it goes. Maybe let me know beforehand what you want to try and I'll give an opinion or something. I don't know, but hell I like to help in anyway possible. Well, have at it.

Blessed are the dead that the rain falls on
So Heath Ledger died. Now I'll be honest, I don't know anything about like, pop culture or major actors and whatnot, I don't watch enough TV or read enough magazines. When I heard he died, I didn't care at all. Until I heard some more.
Now everyone knows about the new Batman movie and how he is the Joker. Check this, supposedly he was working so hard to get into character that he was going crazy. Like people said once he was in costume, he was actually scary and couldn't be convinced out of the fact that he was the Joker. Now driving oneself to insanity like this is no easy task, and apparently is extremely difficult to undo. Heath began taking meds because he couldn't sleep. He literally forced himself into both insomnia and insanity. Then after taking too many sleeping pills, a chemical reaction took place and killed him. Although the idea that it was accidental has not been confirmed, it is probable because he even stated in a past interview that he was worried that this movie would kill him.
I'm amazed. Human willpower is the most beautiful killer there is. His story is a masterpiece. An ironic, tragedy of a masterpiece. My theory is this: After being so dedicated to the part, Heath started to become the Joker his own mind. It started to scare him, so he attempted to push the idea away. Then it became more apparent and he couldn't sleep, so he started taking sleeping pills. Because he had to keep playing the part, he couldn't get help. He needed to be the Joker. Eventually, the only place he could escape to was sleep, and he couldn't even do that with the pills. So he tried upping the amount of pills he took to get more sleep, and a chemical reaction inside of him killed him. This is going to be one hell of a movie. It'd better be, it took a life.
I'll be honest I didn't even know who he was before this, and I still kinda don't care (to be a tad apathetic). I'm just astonished at the psychological changes this man was able to put himself through. It just goes to show you that we live in a word of our own creation. If you disagree with me, let's have a little chat sometime.
Eventually this blog won't be all text stuff, and it'll actually have some humor to it. I'll get some videos and such, but for now this is all I have time for. Thanks for reading.
Regards,
Danny Sullivan

So I'm going to make a post
And there is nothing that you can do about it.
See? I told you so.
Well I have very little to write about and very lot to think about, so I figure I'm just going to dance my fingers on the keyboard and see what comes up.
Well today I had a wrestling match in which I didn't wrestle because AI only has like four JV wrestlers. Yay AI. I had to make weight (which is 142) and then immediately after I ate like hell, even though I wasn't very hungry. I love to eat, it's a personal favorite pastime. Oh I forgot, I got my permit today. Once again, yay. I drove a bit, but I've kinda been driving for a while anyway with my mom, so it wasn't anything special. If you care, I managed to pull off straight A's again even though I have only legitimately done about 10% of my homework this quarter, not even kidding. Consider it a test of my bullshittingness. I passed.
Hmm what else is new. Well I have about a bamillion half finished songs now, and I am too lazy to finish any of them. I'm also hoping to get something together with whoever wants to jam and form some sort of a band once wrestling is over. I know I'm a faux guitarist at this point, but back off I play like four hours a night, I'm working on it. It's my personally assigned homework. Oh and I just got a new amp. I love it. And I think I'm going to name my guitar Serra. Like a rip off of Terra (meaning earth) and Cera from Vena Cera like the Chevelle CD. Yeah it's mad hippie, but fuck it all I like how it sounds. And calling 3 guitars Pig (Pig I, Pig II and Pig III) would be a tad redundant. Especially if I want to call the amp Piglet.
So I have very few plans for this weekend because A) The plans I had for saturday night (Rock Uganda) are pretty much shot because of my wrestling tournament and B) I never plan to do stuff on fridays. I just wait and get dragged places. Works for me. So anyone who has any ideas for stuff to do, please feel free to let me know because I'm going to be desperately bored.
By the way, if you need vocab answers go here: Vocab
Thats about it really, it's 12:03 so I should start considering sleep.
Well, gnight guys. And if you read this during the hours of light, gday.
Hahahaha peace

Juno
So I'm making this post from the wee hours of the morning. its gotta be like almost one now, and I just finished watching Juno, the movie I've been waiting forever to see. Movies embellish situations, dreams and feelings that we know we'll only feel and witness a few times in life.
This movie shows hope for both teen and adult love, while recognizing that there are faults. It's a beautiful movie, to be entirely honest. I loved it. I'm a total girl when it comes to this stuff, but hey, its how I roll. If you want to watch a really good movie, or if you have lost all hope in any form of successful relationship and want to change that, I highly recommend you watch this movie. It's also pretty damn funny too.

Poor Man's Blog, Rich Man's Comedy
Why hello there mate. This is the blog of a tempest in a teapot.
Simply put, you probably don't care. Even more simply put, I probably wouldn't care either. And that's fair enough, apathy is not something to apologize for. But I figure why not rant and rave for those willing to read, or for those who are looking for someone to laugh at. This'll eventually get funny, but I figure I'll get the about me's and all that jazz in before I begin a tirade of nonsensical waste.
So I don't believe that we've been properly introduced. I am sir Daniel Alexander Xavier Sullivan I. You can call me Danny. At the age of sixteen, I live mostly reserved to my own thoughts. Although to the common and untrained eye, I may appear entirely embarrassing and stupid, I am (contrary to what my expansive vocabulary and talent in literature might suggest). I think. A few of my personal favorite pastimes and hobbies include sleeping, eating, guitaro, sleeping, poking things, laughing at myself (*note* I find myself absolutely hilarious), lacrosse, the occasional video game, attempting to write music (*another note* which I can honestly say I have improved at. If you haven't seen or heard any of my music for a while, you may be surprised), and just thinking. I like dark rooms with many a corner, sunsets (fuck you.)(i'm sorry, that was mean), doing well in school, and researching random stuff, among many other things. Learning is something that I am a firm believer in. And I don't mean school education. Fuck formalized education, go to school so you can get a good job. I mean real learning. Mark Twain once said something along the lines of, "I will never let schooling get in the way of my education." Don't be an idiot, become someone.
If I am coming off a tad harsh, it is because I figure I might as well get the tough areas out of the way so that it's not a surprise later on. The honest truth is I'm not the least bit like what I just wrote, except for on a very few subjects.
Now, a belief I hold dear is that people expect too much and understand too little. We all think we know stuff, when I could prove to you that no one actually knows anything. We live in a world of our own creation. Be kind, polite, and realize that you must sacrifice, and you'll be okay I think. Sleep. Sleep is something many people can do quite easily. Sleep is my favorite thing to do, because it is the only time in which I can truly dream, and if nothing else, we can live to dream. I have an extremely hard time sleeping, and it is utterly ironic. Sleep is a reason to both live and die. Remember that. The one place we can always retreat to, always take refuge is deep in the back of our minds, deep in bottom of our hearts.
Okie doke, all done with the serious stuff. I'm sure there's plenty I forgot, but oh well. And sorry about all the fancy talk and such, but I figured I'd try to be impressive. So anyway, every morning I check this site Cyanide and Happiness. Go to the comics, it's hilarious.
That's about enough for now, I'll get back sometime soon with something a bit more interesting. For now, I'm peacin.
Sincerely,
Danny
