Crashing

I feel a deep blog coming. Or at least, more than a "this is what I did today." I have some stuff I need to get off my mind and I'm thinking an "online journal" might be my best outline instead of holding it in and listening to the wrong music and getting in one of those moods. Or a more informative one. I feel like really exploring my musical tastes. Or maybe I will save that for the space. Who knows.

Today was tiring. And windy. I woke up tired and never really recovered. That's why I think I am about to head to bed before 11 even though I have a test on Thursday. I had an energy drink before my night class (new flavor of AMP - Lemonade. I like it) and now it's effects are sure as hell wearing off.

I bought some blank cd's today. Not for me either, since i'm going pretty much all digital. But I still like to make mix cd's for my friends. They appreciate it, so that's nice. I can't really cook or anything like that, but I can make a mean mixtape. I remember at one point my ex-girlfriend said she didn't really like listening to my music, which kinda sucked because that was "my thing." (However, this was during one of our breakups so it may have been used as ammunition, who knows).

I haven't talked to my sister since Friday. She has been in Orlando with her husband on family matters. Usually the longest we let go that we don't talk is MAYBE one day. I miss her.

I also miss the jmeister herself, but not for much longer, cuz I will be seeing her Friday afternoon. And I can't wait.

But right now I am crashing. Goodnight.

Random lyric of the day:

Failure is your disease
You want my outline drawn
You were my greatest failure
Discourse your saving song

Hey, Where did my 60 bucks go?

Bare with me for a second... Wrestlemania came and went. There was ONE match that was great out of about nine or ten. However, it will be one of the greatest of the year and it's only April. Don't know if that's a good sign or not. But for what I paid for it, you can say I'm pretty disappointed.

We are going to have to call it on Resident Evil 5. It's a sad sad day. We are going to have to spend another six dollars just to beat two and a half levels. But the damn week has started again. Does anyone else go through that feeling where you wait and wait for the weekend to get here and you blink your eyes and you have to wake up for another Monday morning? Or is it just me...

I've been listening to a lot of Motion City Soundtrack lately. I think they are another band that I am getting into too late. On a music related topic, there are three bands who I have not yet seen live but need to. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, and Incubus. Browsing around myspace the other day and noticed that Incubus is coming to Atlanta in August. This makes me happy. Kinda conflicted about Warped Tour though. There are a bunch of good bands that are going to be there (Saosin, Bayside, Underoath) but I really have no one to go with, no one who is really into all that. If Hedman happens to be here, maybe we will go. Who knows.

What I have to look forward to this week:
*stupid monday night class
*test on thursday
*first part of crucial paper due on thursday
*TWO new episodes of The Office on thursday :)
*Radio show. I will be highlighting Panic! At The Disco (yes, with the !) and The Academy Is... this week.
*Jme's arrival

So, let's get some sleep to prepare for it

Random lyric of the day:

Say hello to good times
Trade up for the fast ride
We close our eyes while the nickel and dime take the streets
completely

Good morning, Starshine, the Earth says Hello

So, i'm doing things a lil differently and posting in the morning. Why? Because when we finally called it last night on Resident Evil I was so tired I knew I was going to be asleep as soon as I hit the bed. I was right. I put on Death Cab for Cutie's "Narrow Stairs" and the last thing I remember hearing was the beginning to "I Will Possess Your Heart." It's the second track.

I'm kinda sad cuz I don't feel like we are going to beat that game. I have to have it back tomorrow or I am going to be charged with a THIRD rental. Not good.

I'm kinda excited though because a movie I was really hyped about was actually really good. After being disappointed lately (I Love You Man was good, but could have been WAY better), Fast and Furious was pure awesome. The thing about these movies is this -- you can't go in expecting to see a 5 star movie that is going to change your life. The first one was classic. So many quoted lines and scenes that even for someone like who isn't a total car junkie will appreciate. Well, the fourth (or second, depending on how you look at it), had all that. It even mentioned the third movie. As for 2 Fast 2 Furious? Like it never happened. My roommate drove there and I'm glad he did cuz if not, I prolly would have gotten a ticket coming out of that movie.

Last night we were in the studio and I was playin some random music from the automation system. My roommate came in and did a set and while he was going, I was on this site that my super awesome best friend had mentioned in her blog. I think in the time I was there, I carved a pumpkin, played with sand, and threw a ball between about six people. Definite time waster.

I feel like I'm starting to get this blog thing going. I finally got someone I don't know to "follow". A person with some really cool posts. And that's the thing, I don't want to add people just to add them, but she had one hell of a playlist. And I'm a sucker for good music.

Now, it's time for me to get in what studying I can before Wrestlemania tonight. I know I know, I'm a nerd, but this is my superbowl, so let me enjoy it :)

Oh, by the way. This is my new celebrity crush:




Random lyric of the day:

All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors

Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out too, too, too many times

What's My Age Again?

It makes me wonder. Am I 22? or 12? Because I just got frustrated playing a video game. That's right. Resident Evil 5 got to me. Stupid "boss" fight. I would like to take this moment, if he were to read this, to apologize to my roommate.

Also, the title of this blog of course refers to Blink 182. I, for one, am pretty excited they are getting back together. However, should I be? My favorite albums by them are "Enema of the State" and "Take off Your Pants and Jacket". The ones they came out with after that, I wasn't a huge fan of. But those two albums changed my life. Ok, maybe that's overstating it. But they did help me grow up. It makes me wonder how songs like "Adam's Song" will be seen when i'm 40.

Made a promise to myself. I WILL have a tattoo by the end of the summer. I still don't know of what or where. I have a couple ideas, that I will run by jak herself. We will see what progress we can make.

With that, here are my plans/goals for the summer:
*tattoo
*go to the Corner
*road trip to Cali
*No Doubt/Paramore concert
*Taking Back Sunday/Envy on The Coast/Anberlin concerts

And the plans/goals for the weekend:
*start studying for psych of choice and decision making test
*start looking at paper for psych of aging
*clean room
*Fast and Furious
*Wrestlemania 25
*Finish RE5 (maybe)
*studio time Saturday night

On a final note, listening to a different pandora station that consists of Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate/Lost Ocean. I recommend it.

Random lyrics of the day:

Petals getting picked
with the love-yous
and the love-you-nots

Five years going by
Everyone is staying on their side

But don't never be down
I said don't ever
Because you're gonna keep 'em hanging around

Like a referee with a whistle

So let's get the sports stuff out of the way. Jay Cutler was traded from the Broncos to the Bears today. I was sad to see him go, I will admit, but more sad because of the quarterback we got for him, Kyle Orton. (I really hope I look back on this a year from now with Kyle Orton being my new favorite player). We also get a first round pick plus some others in this year's draft. (Fingers are now crossed for somehow getting Mark Sanchez from USC). Now, I am REALLY interested in the draft. It was a tradition for a while to watch it at Kelly's, but somehow that has faltered.

On to more serious news, my sister and brother-in-law will in fact, not be coming this weekend. Everything was working out and then a personal conflict came in to keep them from coming. I wish them the best in the upcoming week and take it as a sign for me to start studying this weekend for my test on Thursday. Will I? Honestly, with Fast and Furious and Wrestlemania this weekend, plus the fact that we still have Resident Evil 5, probably not. But I will try.

*UPDATE: I made a 79 on that psych test I have been talking about. Instead of saying I made a C, I like to frame it as I was one point away from a B. Which I am happy about :)

Speaking of RE5, I really like this game. I like how we are pacing ourselves too. Definitely worth the almost 12 dollars it is costing to rent it this long.

I am listening to pandora for the first time in probably a month. The station I am currently listening to has Minus the Bear and Death Cab for Cutie. I recommend it.

I think I am about to start "searching" for people with the same favorites as me. So be warned: If you put down Taking Back Sunday as your favorite music, chances are you are getting a good looking at.

Here is some good news: My true BFF (Best Female Friend) should be here next weekend. It would be nice to spend more than 20 minutes at a time with her (which is usually my fault).

I am 70% sure I am going to UPC's "High Rollin on the Plains" tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fun...

Random lyric of the day:

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know.

Short and Sweet

*Officially went three days in a row of working out in the morning. May need to skip tomorrow though as I have an article review due and I did not do it tonight

*Show went really good. Had a couple of callers and I felt really loose in the studio. It's shows like this that remind me why I love being a dj

*Am seriously debating selling my tickets to wrestling on Monday. It just seems too stressful...

*Plainsman applications are due Friday. Kinda snuck up on on me

*This weekend is a mystery. My sister and brother-in-law may or may not be coming. The deciding factor? Whether or not it rains tomorrow

*I like the idea of matching tattoos

Random lyric of the day:

that mistake was gold cuz I know
without you, is something that I could never do
That was right, staple the eyes and seven dates for me to
Sell machines and tear on

Hold on to that feeling

What a crazy, crazy day...

*Feel I did ok on my test. First time I answered all the short answer questions, so that's a good thing. Still, I went to talk to her before this test to try and get help and if I don't do good I feel like I will disappoint her. We'll see

*Got in to my other psych class and realized that we had an article review done that I was completely oblivious to. Nice. Just got it done a few minutes ago. And I just had a hard time trying to spell minutes.

*Originally had a quiz scheduled for next Monday in my press, law and ethics class. Got moved to April 13th. I also have a "case briefing" that day where I have to present a court case to the class. In my recent style of forgetting things, that just so happens to be the day I have tickets to go see wrestling in Atlanta. I figured before I took the blow and sold them I would at least ask him and see if there was anything I could do. He said I could come to his office the Friday before or Monday of and take the quiz and VIDEO TAPE MY PRESENTATION. As if that embarrassment is not enough, his office is located in Montgomery.

*Got my paper back in feature writing today. I made a B, a grade that normally I would be upset about, but considering I literally did it the night before, I can't complain one bit. I feel I am starting to take pride in my work because when he wrote comments on my paper, he talked about things I should have added and I totally agreed with him. So much that I almost got disappointed in myself that I didn't think to add them in on my own. Same thing happened the other night in the studio. I made a couple mistakes that when I first started out last summer were no big deal, but that's just it - i'm not just starting anymore. I shouldn't be making stupid mistakes like playing a song while another song is already playing.

*Speaking of music, and wrapping up my day, a friend came over to play Rock Band because she wasn't happy at the moment and needed to get out. Everytime she comes over we are guaranteed to play two songs -- "Bounce" by The Cab and "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed. We actually failed the Sickness because her friend wasn't good. Haha, that sounds mean but it's always funny when people are like "i'm not very good" and then Frisco picks up the guitar and puts it on expert.

Also, good times -- when Frisco left tonite and I had the house to myself, I decided I would get on the mic. I belted a setlist that included "The Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring, "Sweetness" by Jimmy Eat World, "Black" by Pearl Jam and the newly downloaded "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. It is fun putting on a concert when no one is around.

On sad news, it looks like it is confirmed. I will never see the following picture on a football field again:

Just like the picture looks, dude is unhappy. So goodbye. It's sort of sad news because I did like the guy. But really sad news because I have no idea who our quarterback will be now

Random lyric of the day:

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.
