Garfunkel & Oates - One Night Stand Youtube Live

Anyone who's been on the internet for a while should have heard one of Garfunkel & Oates fun songs. Make sure to look up other videos by them if you have the time. Especially if you enjoy gentle sexual humor.

(Some) Key Points on Lenin

Wikipedia is, at times, a flawed source of information. Thus I believe anything I've bkmrked from there should be a jumping off point, rather than a topic in and of itself to discuss. Usually in a Wikipedia article I find a dozen other tidbits I bkmrk. So we'll consider Wikipedia articles as something to make quick notes on, rather than study at length.


  • Vladimir Ilyich Lenin  1870 – 1924
  • Find out what the hell a Kalmyk is.
  • Look up the book "What is To Be Done?" (1902)
  • "By their social status the founders of modern scientific socialism, Marx and Engels, themselves belonged to the bourgeois intelligentsia."
  • Also find out what the hell intelligentsia is, though it sounds a lil self-explanatory.
  • Bkmrked Alexander Pushkin search.
  • Bkmrked Ivan Turgenev search.
  • Bkmrked Nikolay Nekrasov search.
  • Bkmrked Vissarion Belinsky search.
  • Bkmrked Alexander Herzen search.
  • Bkmrked Dmitry Pisarev search.
  • Bkmrked Nikolay Dobrolyubov search.
  • Eldest brother hanged for an assassination attempt against the Tsar.
  • Bkmrked Nikolay Chernyshevsky's novel "What is To Be Done?" (1863)
  • Studied and practiced law.
  • Bkmrked  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Struggle_for_the_Emancipation_of_the_Working_Class
  • Arrested for plotting against the Tsar, then sent into exile about 14 months solitary confinement.
...and the rest will sadly have to wait. I find Lenin boring while I am in this mindset, though I find it psychologically interesting how (Wikipedia's portrayal) points to the root of his radical actions as a cause of losing his brother and sister.

An unfortunately long list, of which I offer no remorse. And as we can both plainly see, if my regular bkmrking follows any pattern close to these numbers, even removing one per day is an impossible effort in regards to entire cleaning-out.

Why?

There's a very simple reason for why I have begun this blog; I feel as if I am drowning in internet bookmarking. At last discovery I had a mere 1807 bookmarks (just in Chrome) I mean to go through at some point, including research papers I've been wanting to read, books, movies, internet searches for information I haven't finished with, comics, music, political figures, long-dead Greek playwrights, Anime, and so forth. All little tidbits of information I felt some need at some point to look up.

I hope to use this blog as incentive for getting rid of these bookmarks, one topic at a time. If anyone cares to join me on the 1807-post-and-growing journey, I'd be delighted. At first look at the bookmark bar I can inform you the next few posts will include information about Vladimir Lenin, Bill Nye (the Science Guy!), Water for Elephants, Distance-Skateboarding, MDMA, Garfunkel and Oates, a little Bourgeoisie Whore and a selection of Extremophile information. How anyone but myself would come up with such a mismatch of interests and fully intend to delve into them all some day is a mystery even to myself.

At the time this post is being written I am a nearly-but-not-so-nearly graduating highschool student, who should be ending her second year of University. Going through bookmarks is unfortunately not the only thing I am capable of seriously procrastinating. Perhaps I live somewhere in Canada's less-pot-filled West, and at the time of this writing I would have been listening to The Aspidistra Flies by the band Stars. Additionally at the time of this writing I would be thinking another blog start-up to be a good idea to distract myself from an always-failing love-life, though for once not of my own fault. I perhaps know it won't help much, but perhaps I also know getting up and doing something meager is far better than curling in a ball and pretending the world doesn't exist. I am a pessimistic, cynical bastard at times, who really truly thinks the majority of humanity is corrupt.

If you haven't been turned off yet, and will join me on this ride, I hope to see a comment or two in the future. If you think I'm crazy and have weird tastes in interests, well, I hope you better luck on Twitter or a cupcake blog.
