or at the beginning if you're into dreamgirls.

After I come up with a joke that I think is hilarious, I like to google it to see if anyone has come up with the joke before me. This is incredibly ego deflating, and has led me to the realization that everything I think I discover has already been discovered before. But the thing is, it's not that I heard these jokes somewhere else and copied them, there just happen to have been other people who had the same idea before me. It's interesting to think how in a pre-internet world, to a large extent it didn't matter that someone had come up with an idea before you (especially little jokes that didn't get much of a laugh in any incarnation). I could have been running around thinking I was the cleverest person in the world. But now I must suffer with the knowledge of my mediocrity, or at least my lack of outstandingness. Oh well.

my interest in music tends to be marked by intense periods of listening to a single song/group of songs, spaced between long periods of total lack of interest. well, right now i'm in one of those intense periods, sorry to anyone who has to hang out with me over the next couple of weeks or so- i will require the following songs to be played on repeat.
