Read the subject. It is now less than two weeks before I leave for college. Friends and family ask me if I'm ready to go. Physically...no I'm not because there are still things I need to get. Mentally...I'm not ready to go either. It's a long way away from home. It'll be one big change I'm not going to lie, it will take some time getting used to.
About a month ago I purchased the "Vans Warped Tour 2004 Compilation" album and I have just recently actually listened to it and payed attention to what I was listening to. On Disc 2 I stumbled upon Matchbook Romance's "My Eyes Burn" and I fell in love with the song. It is a really good song and I think I might have to purchase their album unless I find someone who has it. In that case, I will ask them to burn it for me, which I will probably get rejected because "burning cds is illegal" (stupid fuckers who cares?) thus causing me to purchase my own. (That exact same situation happened with the Coheed & Cambria CD that I bought because Mikey B-Real would not burn it for me.) No worries.
As time gets closer for me to leave for school I'm getting worried that I won't get to see certain people before I leave. Yeah, I'm having a bonfire next Friday, people say they will attend which is cool. If the bonfire will be anything like my graduation party, 35-45 people will say they will show up and only 15-25 people actually show up. That is why I'm concerned. Some people I've known all my life said they would attend and never did. I don't want to remember people for saying they would make an attempt to see me before I leave but never do.
WARNING: If you say you are going to make it to my bonfire, then come. If you say you are going to come and don't, I will lose all respect for you. If you aren't sure that you will be there, then say so, don't say "Yeah" to make ME feel better, tell me the fucking truth.
Sorry, letting out some frustration. Last few weeks have been rough. Man, I love people who don't answer their cell phones. I'm getting sick of hanging out with the same handful of people all summer long. If I haven't seen you in a while call me, or at least pretend that you might never see me again (oh wait, that's true, you may never see me again).
I'm done.

"My Eyes Burn"
My eyes burn from these tears
You'd think I'd learn over the years
Good things won't last forever
So what the hell am I suppose to do
You only wanted the things I couldn't give to you
And you had it all anyway
So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
Tell me i'm wrong when I say
I can't expect you to stay forever with me
I live for that single moment
I take back everything i've said
You wore those words on your lips
As if they meant anything anyway
Sometimes I feel I could drop off the face of the earth
It seems I do more harm than good
And I don't know if it's worth me loosing sleep over this
So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
Tell me I'm wrong when I say it
I can't expect you to spend forever with me
I live for that single moment
So take take everything and leave me scrambling
Reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place
