Keep On Your Mean Side

I'm officially an Apple user. Yay me.

Went and saw the Kills tonight. Awesome. The lead singer girl reminded me of Helena Bonham Carter from "Fight Club;" she paced around the stage like a caged animal and I expected her to explode and start screaming her head off at any moment. Long live rock n roll. On a related topic, I've been going to a hell of a lot of shows lately. Send me money.

Last couple of days have been good. I've been feeling a lot better lately. I do feel kind of dumpy right now, but that's probably because it's 3:30 in the morning and I'm still awake.

Time to do more things on my laptop that I could already do with other things in my house. I just choose to do them with my laptop cause it makes me look cool.

I've Seen More Spine in Jellyfish, I've Seen More Guts in 11 Year Old Kids

Okay. Don't laugh. I was looking at the moon tonight and it looked totally awesome. Clouds were moving from out in front of it, slowly revealing more of the moon to the night scape. It made me think about how I've always thought it would be so amazing to be able to go to the moon and look at the earth from that vantage point. I'm 22 and I sound like a 5 year old boy who dreams of being an astronaut. I don't know. I know that it's something that I'll probably never be able to do, but if I was given the chance to do anything, that would be at the top of my list. And I swear to god that I wasn't drunk while I was thinking this. Honest. Okay. You can laugh now.

Ugh...

I ate way too much Chinese food and now I don't feel good. But it was so yummy.

About Those Bitter Songs You Sing....

*looks around*....wow....been awhile since I've been here. Hope I still have some sort of a ragtag group of people reading this thing. If not...oh well. So let's see...what's new. I'm a Mac user now (well, at least I will be, once my laptop gets here). I may be going to Argentina in December to search for dinosaur bones. Ow. I just poked myself in the eye...Saw the Weakerthans last night. They were really good. John was happy the whole night. And they played my favorite song. Rocking. I think that's about it. I need to go to sleep. I just did my biometry homework and now my head hurts. Oh, and as for those bitter songs...."they're not helping anything. They won't make you strong."

"How I don't know how to sing. I can barely play this thing. But you never seem to mind, and you tell me to fuck off when I need somebody to. How you make me laugh so hard. How whole years refuse to stay where we told them to, bad dog, locked up whining in a word or a misplaced souvenir. How the past chews on your shoes, and these memories lick my ear. How we waste our precious time marching in the picket lines that surrond those striking hearts. How the time is never now, and we know who we should love, but we're never certain how. I know you might roll your eyes at this, but I'm so glad that you exist."

Weakerthans "Reasons"

Hell yeah

Thursday is on Monday This Week

Thursday was awesome. Woe to whoever missed it.

"There was honor among the thieves, the only truth I could believe. But when the lies applied to me and mine it's better left unsaid. We could write the hit parade outside the masquerade. The headache comes in tidal waves, the spoils of the spoiled. The lines of history became the scenary. It's strictly an accessory, an image to uphold. But it's all in fun and sin until someone calls it in. The cycle comes around again. But I'm older now, and don't you know, I've figured out the antidote. It overwhelms, engulfed in smoke. It's all we can to cope. Goddamn these idle hands as hindsight can. Our hopes and plans are unfulfilled. It's overwhelming. There's a proper place and time though the bags under your eye, they don't lie."

My birthday was lots of fun. Thanks to all my friends who celebrated it with me and added more fun than there would have been if I had just played video games all night. I'm tired. I really need to clean my room. What are you going to do about it?

I'm Sinking Like a Stone in the Sea

It's officially my birthday. I'm 22. I'm old. I was walking out on the golf course with Jay and Nic, drinking Buzzweiser, when my birthday rolled around. We were all pretty drunk. I got sprayed by a couple of sprinklers. No killer goose this time, so it was a plus. Time for bed. So tired...three hours of sleep and then 9 hours of school is not a good mix. Happy birthday to me.

I Would Kill for the Atlantic, But I'm Paid to Make Girls Panic

I'm in a strange situation. I'm trying to figure out how something that feels right for both parties involved still somehow doesn't end up working. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious, and as soon as I figure it out, I can just say "There. Problem fixed. Everything will be fine now." But of course we all know that things aren't that easy. I guess we'll figure something out at some point.

Someone scratch my head. Please

I really have no concept of what's going on right now. I need sleep
