| | Humble Pie- I'm Ready | ] | I feel pretty bad for being a lazy fuck, mostly because it causes my mom stress which is unacceptable. For some reason I feel like the key to jump-starting some productivity is getting up earlier. Next week I am working Monday through Friday for my mom, 10-3 everyday. I was supposed to do the same thing this week but I kept sleeping and making plans with friends. I sleep too well, it is a problem. My alarm went off during the day recently while I was in the room and it was really hard for me to believe that I have slept through it before. When I am sleeping and the alarm goes off I just turn it off and go back to sleep, most likely because of a semi-conscious grudge I have developed against it.
I really am in love with my turntable, a good stereo is one of the few large possessions I want to have during the next few years: -Stereo -Guitar -Computer Besides those I hope to be able to fit all of my objects in my messenger and then 1-2 large duffel bags. Be nomadic. Clothes, Books, Albums, Movies, Large Key Possessions. Those are the categories. All other stuff should fit in the messenger. I wish I could have a million dollars to spend at American Apparel. |

No C's fuckers, I am renewed. Doom Metal fuckin rocks like the drummer from Shearwater. I finally finished a song, lyrics and all, but I don't think Ill play it for anyone anytime soon because It is so sloppy still, but I finally did it. Tonight Meredith, Sarah, Caitlyn, Luke, and I went in Caitlyn's hot tub and it was relaxing to the utmost. I think Ill apply to work at the American Apparel in Portland. College is going to be great, I think I am ready to get my life in line, little stuff keeps happening for me where I turn new leaves and I think I am finally on my way to discipline. I am happy to be becoming reacquainted with mel, my long lost friend, we went to the beach today and it was fun and relaxing just walking around Santa Cruz just the two of us. It is so good to have good friends, its what I live for. |

| | Sharks Game, GO SHARKS. | ] | I love being with great close friends in a safe enclosed environment. Just being free to talk and have a good time without having to worry about anything. The film festival went well, there were a whole lot of really good films. I am so amazed by the level of talent that some of my friends exhibit. I enjoyed being able to present the awards to the film makers, but I feel bad because I didn't even mention Liam for confessions when he had been just as much a part of it as Mike was.
I sent my deposit to Lewis & Clark, and I am really excited about it. I am not planning on really doing much to try and get into Reed off the waitlist. I only have a few days to do so and maybe it was just meant to be for me to go to L&C. I think maybe this should have been a sign for me that I am just not at the level of discipline to go to somewhere like Reed. But essentially I am really excited about Lewis & Clark.
I love my friends. I love Lucia. I love Luke. I love Nick Jones. I love K-Do. I love Mel. I love Meredith. I love Mike. I love Colin. I love Scott. I love Tomi. I love Brendan. I love
I am going to start meditating much more often, and exercising again. I need to take better care of myself, take control of my life and learn discipline. |

| | For What It's Worth- Buffalo Springfield | ] | This weekend was amazingly busy and pretty awesome. On Thursday I hung out with, among others, Lucia for the first time in a while. I have felt like I have never spent as much time with her as I should, but I feel like we will probably be hanging out more in the future. Nick and Kevin stayed at my house Thursday night so we could all leave early for Colin's house. It was Colin's birthday and since we had the day off his house was free reign for all us crazy kids. Then once my lungs had recovered I met up with Sarah D and we went to the sharks game. First we went to Good Karma for dinner then we headed to the game. It still amazes me that Sarah and I were friends for about two years before realizing that we both have a deep love for the sharks! Well we hadn't seen each other in a long time so we were probably more focused on conversation than the game but the boys in teal did us proud with a 3-0 win over the blue jackets. Saturday I met up with Breanna at Good Karma (where I saw Luke's attacker), then we saw Zodiac, which I enjoyed thoroughly and recommend wholeheartedly. Then we hung out at my house for a while before she left. I then went to Matt's for our St. Patrick's Day dinner which was good but I must say St. Patrick's day is my least favorite holiday as a Vegan who is not much into cabbage. Sunday Mitch picked me up and we met up with Jeremy to work on the APES video but we ended up just hanging out and playing video games, but it was a good time. And I got into Lewis & Clark, where I am pretty sure I will go unless I get into Reed. |

| | Sun Kil Moon- Salvador Sanchez | ] | Urinetown closed on saturday, as did my bellarmine theatre career. I was very sad but I didn't cry very much, it has been really hard for me to cry ever since Jim died. The show was really good overall, tech was consistently solid throughout the whole run, and the cast was at worst proficient. The cast party was at Jeff Sobrato's house, and it was basically all of us on a billionaire's estate drinking and smoking with no parental supervision. It was great for me, but some people went a little overboard and it made the night kinda shitty for some others. There was a fair amount of drama but that is to be expected at cast parties. I had a great time. I did a totally stoned out interpretive dance right at the foot of the huge pool to the song I am listening to right now. I discovered Sun Kil Moon the other day while staying up all night and they are my favorite band practically, Mark Kozelek is such a beautiful singer in the J Mascis Neil Young school of sortof droney super-emotive singing. The music is somewhere between stoned out rock and shoegaze with much sortof weird folk guitarry stuff. But anyway Im not getting all of his old band Red House Painters' stuff, hopefully they will be a new musical force in my life. I met a girl from the cast that is really shy but the substances i guess opened her up a bit, we talked for several hours in the hot tub and various other places about various peronal or semi-philosophical topics, and were VERY garden state. It may have been very stereotypical teenage staying up all night high and drunk and being deep and emotional, but I had a great time anyway and i will pretty much be going out with her now. Everything worked out well, I didnt go to school today because I hadnt gotten enough sleep at all, I have missed too much school this semester, and I have a D in latin, but its only the quarter, so I have time to renew my life. This is the perfect time to start over. |

How indie are you? test by ridethefader
You're just too cool for school, aren't you? You're pretty narrow minded and opinionated with regards to music (and probably most other things as well). But you're allowed to be, because you really are better than everyone else. You take pride in obscurity. You probably prefer vinyl too, you elitist bitch.

| | old crow medicine show-wagon wheel | ] | I have a Latin test tomorrow which I'm not ready for right now, but I am planning on studying as much as needed tonight, because I almost failed the last test and I always feel bad for letting Ms. West down. Last week was one of the worst weeks I have experienced in a long time, even with the show going on. The show is going well, people seem to be really loving it but I feel like it isn't reaching its potential. Tech is pretty solid but there seems to be something lacking in the production overall, or maybe I am just sad about leaving bellarmine theatre. I need to learn to realize that life is really not as complicated as I always feel like it is. |

It is amazing to me that the songs that hit me the hardest are the ones that are the most simple, but maybe thats because they are so universal they easily connect with something in me, but Les Mis has always made me cry but Ive only just discovered this one..
"Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of her and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head. On my own Pretending she's beside me All alone, I walk with her till morning Without her I feel her arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And she has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is her and me for ever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to her And although I know that she is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love her But when the night is over She is gone, the river's just a river Without her the world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love her But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me her world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known! I love her But only on my own."
