Solar Flare!

So again I haven't posted in a little while. Maybe I'll get better about it, but only two or so people read this anyway, so what's the big deal?!

Well I start school back up in just a few days. Wednesday to be exact. Gonna take one up at campus and the other two online, so wish me luck with all that. Also had another party last night and ended up playing some mad bass, so I've got a blisted on my right middle finger from plucking so much. Luckily I didn't get one on the index too or I really wouldn't be able to type.

Other than that we just got some new furniture in the apartment(2 couches) and I'll soon go to the store and get some more thumb tacs to hang some stuff up. So soon we'll be a fully functioning apartment again. I've also had some prospects in taking over the third bedroom, so after I figure out if we're going to renew the lease again I'll probably make arrangements to get it filled.

Currently I'm listening to music and may even watch a movie here in a bit. Don't really have anything else to report tho..one of my roommates just got a job today at Best Buy so him making money will relieve some of the stress off my back..just so long as he passes the piss test by Tuesday!

Welp..311's Solar Flare just came on so I gotta go rock out! Go listen to it on Myspace or Youtube or something..It'll brighten your day =]

Solitaire Unraveling

Alright, so I took a few days off for no particular reason, but I've been urged to write another one from Nina at work. Even though she hasn't even written her first post since the day she first told me about it. Tomorrow's the day though, tomorrow's the day.


So let's see..had a party last night..pretty good turn out I'd say. I was the only one here for like an hour or so until Vance showed up. Then he left to go pick up his guitar from Georgetown and I was home alone again! Not for long, however, as Brad pulled up pretty close thereafter. When Brad got here, there were 6 or so cop cars lined up infront of my apartment complex. Vance told me he saw like 3 or 4 when he pulled up, but apparently more had come since then. I went out back while Brad was parking in the garage, and noticed a woman was being arrested down the complex a bit. Another car coming to the party informed me that yet another man was arrested as well, so I don't know what the deal was. Not long after that everyone started to arrive and the party went on into the wee hours of the night. It's nice living with musicians because before you know it we've got the guitars, drums, maracas and other instruments going at full stride in a jam session. I brought my bass from my parents house last night too, so that was an added bonus. All in all it was a good time with good people. That's really all that matters =]

Tonight the band went to Music lab so I've been chillin here at the apartment ever since I got off work. I was thinking of going to my brothers, and maybe even going to my friend's birthday party, but I really didn't feel like drinking, and figured I'd probably end up calling my brother tomorrow anyway, so I chose to stay at home and enjoy the quietness. I was listening to music earlier, and even made a new Myspace playlist, but it's quiet now. Thinking mode..

I also decided that I'm gonna start drawing again, so that should be cool. School starts in 10 days, and I'm now the only person at my position at work, so I'll probably be pretty busy coming up. If not with school and work, definitely with other hobbies of mine. And I'm making time for them no matter what, because life isn't all about work. There must be an even balance in work and play to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Just like you need me time. And that's what I'm getting now..a time to express my thoughts in whatever manner I choose - whether it be this blog, writing in some other form such as poems or songs, putting it down on paper as some form of art, or simply creating a movie..I have all at my disposal, and I tend to utilize each to their potential.


So if I haven't lost you yet, what's going on in your life? What did you make as a new years resolution? Or simply what goals do you have in life? You remember from my last blog that you're not to live in the future, and to live in the now and not try and feel as if you need to be somewhere else, so how's that working out for you? Is there anything bothering you in life right now that, if lifted off your shoulders, would make life a lot easier? If so, what? And what can you do to overcome them? That's where my mindset's at right now..and that's how I try to live my life. "Stay positive and love your life." My life motto..and to do that, you've gotta relieve all the stress and negative energy. Try that for the next week and see how you feel this time next week. Also eat healthier..that's a big'n. Or eat period for some of you people out there. Plenty of fruit and veggies, that's what they say..


So to close, I just wanna let you all know that unless you saw the moon tonight you missed seeing it at its largest moment of '09. Also its brightest. It was closest to earth in its rotation if you couldn't figure it out by my description. So with that, I'm gonna turn back on the music and continue my night in solitude. Peace!

bLLooooo0000g

So I was thinking of creating another website since it had been a while since I'd done so, but a friend of mine from work convinced me to make a blog instead. And since my sister-in-law has one on this website as well, I decided a blog might be a good way to express my thoughts in a manner that Myspace or Facebook might not be able to accomplish.

Upon reading this blog you may be subject to random nonsense and lengthy paragraphs filled with tangents of free thought and free form. You'll receive some useful information in here as well though so maybe it won't be a complete waste of time in reading.

So what's up? It's been like 10 years since I had a blog. That was in the time of Livejournal and Xanga, when internet chat rooms were popular. It's kind of surreal sitting here trying to write down something for a blog that will only be viewed by those that I tell. Assuming I tell anyone at all..Muahahaha!!


But seriously..It's like one in the morning and my iTunes is on shuffle. I just got done a few days ago in putting all my cds back on my computer. I first put all my music on the laptop when I bought my iPod. Then, a couple years later, my laptop crashed and I lost about 80% of it. This time I put it all on my external harddrive. Then I'm gonna back it all up on Dvd-R's so that I won't have to ever do that again! Point being, I have over 11,000 songs and rising. Great to have it all in one place again though. It'll be a good mix for upcoming parties, especially since I have the laptop hooked up to the surround sound in my room.

Time to start things anew though. It's the beginning of a new year, beginning of a new blog, and the start of a new age. The Aquarian Age. The age for a new President, a future ever-changing and ever-so-eminent. Dropping economy, wars overseas, bailouts, and layoffs, it's about time for something big to come. The world is due to end in 2012, and might not even last 'til then if we're not careful. So being an Aquarian, I'm stepping up to make a difference. To lead the revolution into the Aquarian Age, out of that of Pisces, and past that of 2012. This is my voice. Hear me roar!
