Looking Back in Time

So I was trying to explain something the other day to a friend and wasn't really succeeding, so I thought I'd try writing it down instead in an attempt to really express the idea properly. Here goes: I want to find out what day the stars will be shining like they were really shining on the day that I was born. The light from the stars takes years to reach us. We're looking at what the stars looked like many years ago when we look up at the current night sky. Basically I want to find out how long it takes for that light to get to earth and look up at a current night sky that was actually current when I was born. It's kind of a confusing concept, and I don't know if it is even truly possible; I don't even know if this makes sense to anyone but me. I think in theory it's a good idea...but there are a lot of ideas that are good in theory.

Movies today

I sometimes wish that they would make movies like they used to in the mid 20th century. You know the type--the ones with musical numbers and happy endings. Usually they were pretty clean too, just good clean fun. I love watching those kinds of movies to this day. I don't think that all movies should still be made that way though. I like some of the Action and Suspense and Romantic Comedies that have come out lately, but I just think that they should still make some movies the way that they used to. There's certainly enough talent out there. There are so many actors that can sing and dance, but just haven't been given the chance on the big screen to show their talents. I kind of feel like the movie industry sees itself as high and mighty, but if they would make the type of movies that they used to then I would definitely go see way more movies.(Mainly because I won't go see the Rated R and some of the PG-13 stuff they're producing now-a-days.)

Homework

Homework

I feel
like
I'm drowning
in
a sea
of
never-ending
assignments
that will
soon
pull me
under
their
boiling
paper waves,
down
down
down
and never
to
return.
