Long time no shmee

Hey y'all. It's been quite a while. Here's the lowdown:

Life rules. I've gone to a bunch of shows recently and I haven't been to a single bad one. Recently I've seen: GWAR (best show of my life), Buckethead, moe. (meh, mostly went because I got tix for free, but it turned out to be a really good time), and Monday night I saw SIGUR ROS!!! Mindblowing. I'm seeing Umphrey's McGee next Thursday in VT, then Keller Williams in April, then SUMMER CAMP 2006 (moe., Umphrey's, and Keller Williams for 3 days camping out in a field in Illinois) with my amazing friend Sarah. A funny thing happened over Xmas break. I called up an old friend of a friend (Sarah) that I hadn't spoken to since about 6 months before when we hiked Manadnock together. I had just gotten snowshoes for Xmas and I wanted a partner to go with. We went shortly after and basically hit it off. I've never connected with a person like I did with her and we still hang out all the time even though she goes to school 45 minutes away.

In other important news, I got accepted to my number 1 school. Next year I'll most likely be attending Unity College in Unity, Maine. It's the most dedicated Environmental school in the US. I'll likely be going for Environmental Conservation. I think everyone needs to at least strive to do something for their world, whether they succeed or not. The greatest people in the world didn't necessarily change the world, but at least they were remembered for trying (see: Ghandi). It's not that I want to be remembered, it's that I think the world could always be better and for the past year I've been passionate about hiking and being outside in general. Woo! Overall, I'm the happiest I've been in a long time, which is odd since I've always been a sufferer of seasonal depression. I guess maybe since it's been so warm and snowless in NH, it's been counteracted.

Oh yeah... I got arrested with my friend last month. In general it was okay. The actual arrest was actually sort of a good time. We joked with the police officer and I kept my head up. Since then I've stopped smoking pot and realized how much it had taken over my life. Yeah and I guess I lost my job shortly before that. So for a short while things were going badly, but none of that matters anymore. Just so I don't end this entry on a downer, here is a picture that is apty titled "Ambition." I hope everything is going well for all of you :)
