Sunk in Finally.

Hello again!
So where is this title going to lead us today you may wonder???
Well its an all too familiar story friends. Here we go.

SO there I was, (yes its one of those stories) sitting in quite a different situation, just shaking from excitement and anticipation. (RHYMING!!!) :)

Anyway, as excited as I was for this particular event, at the same time I was experiencing extreme nostalgia. It was at this moment, sitting in my old high school's auditorium, looking at the stage, that I realized...I'm so far gone from high school. Never again would I do a fall musical or play on that stage again. Clearly, this fact hadn't been completely lost on me, but being there watching the first show from the audience made it all the more real. Me and my fellow alum all felt the same, full of pride but also a little sadness for that which we were no longer apart of, at least in the school sense.

The end result of the show was truly phenomenal. Not to mention, a guy who I think of like my little brother was the lead and I seriously could not of been more proud of him.

And you know, that fact in itself made my time in the drama department worthwhile; watching my younger friends grow and progress into more amazing actors. It crystallized for me, it wasn't the school I missed, it was the people. Because the friends you make in a drama department become your family and make you want to get up in the morning and get better.

In summary, I was swelling with pride after the show. They really hold their own, and made the musical I most dislike, likable! Kudos kids :)

This post is dedicated to you guys, keep being as talented and wonderful as you all are. And just know that you have all, yet again, proved you'll go far. Love you guys.

To end with something completely irrelevant to the above but oh so much geeky fun, here's a question for you; Do you like robots? Do you like robot combat? Well so do I! And that's why the following link will take you to such a program called MEDIA MONSTERS! Watch your mechanized children fight for your honor! You create them and then have a battle royal with other robits, a very nice waste of time if I do say so myself. And I do.

Fight on friends!

Until next post,

As I sit here...

There's a lot of things I could write about, if my thoughts didn't scramble themselves every 5 seconds.

I'll start with an update I suppose, then maybe get into something deep and interesting, we'll see how it goes...

(Haha! Unintentional rhyming.) Anyways...

As of last week, I'm employed at my college bowling alley and I have to say, it's pretty cool.

I'm catching on really fast so that makes it easier and my co-workers are really fun. Its funny that if you make your needs widely known, something will finally happen. SO there's that.

Also, as of late I've been thinking on my feelings which, like my thoughts themselves, go every which way. Very confusing stuff friends. It ranges from specific people to things I get to do, what ever right? Right.

The biggest thing I think that is keeping me somewhat grounded is music. It's always there for personal salvation, of which I've used many a time. I'm in the process of writing more songs which I know, is way exciting :) And I've been contemplating the phrase "living for the art" in terms of music. Like when I think about bands such as The Doors and Patti Smith and Bob Dylan, they didn't care if you liked their music or not, for them, they were living for the music. Which I've come to realize when I'm writing songs, I think too much on whether or not everyone will like them if I put them on a public forum. But frankly, that's not constructive to honest to god feeling, passion, grit of music. I really need not care if some of my friends think my stuff is "ok" or really whoever has an opinion about it. Because in the end, its all about the music. And truly the best songs come about without too much strenuous thought. Fuck it if it doesn't rhyme, does it mean something is the bigger question. Personal poetry are the songs that say something outright, out-loud, hell it may even scream the statement you want to make, that's being true to your artistic vision, what ever that may be to you of course. Special thanks to Professor Costa for this thought.

I guess the moral to this story kids is don't think too much, don't make too many DETAILED plans, realize you don't have to have it altogether and then maybe you can sort you shit out.

HEY look at that, something thought provoking actually came out of a random spiel.

But really, what ever. It's my blog, what ever flows or doesn't right? Right :)

Until next we blog/read.

Made me want to live for the music. If you like folksy music, you'll love them.
