I went a little link-crazy tonight
Im glad i had a day off before going back to school. I got to do alot of things that I cant usually make alot of time for. I played guitar for a few good hours, played around with doing some recording on my computer. Spent alot of time looking for new music, something ive been alot more active about lately. I was looking for some more good electronica/new-wave/electroclash/electrowhatever music along the lines of The Faint. Fischerspooner isnt too bad, although these guys seem almost more like performance artists than musicians. Theyve got some good music videos though. Going back to The Faint, I just found a new song by them called Dust, with super hottie Conor Oberst on backup vocals, no less. Weird. Some other new stuff: The Shins' Chutes Too Narrow = weird acoustic rock goodness. Also, I need to download the rest of The Mars Volta album for the next time i get stoned by myself.
Random cool stuff I found today: What cant you sell on the internet? This stuff blows my mind. Too bad Im not pretentious enough to spend a few thousand dollars on a wood sculpture. But hey, money changes everything. Here is a cool clothing store I found. People submit designs, and you vote on which ones they make into t-shirts. I want this one and this one.
So i was thinking about how im going back to school tomorrow, I mean, I felt like I accomplished more as a person sitting here in front of the computer all day than I will tomorrow at school. Im wasting my time and money going to school when I dont know what I want to do with my life. Thats not to say that I think I need to decide on one specific thing and do it for the rest of my life, but Id rather go to school and learn about something interesting than get a liberal arts education at a school like unh. But Id be happy doing so many things: going to berklee and studying sound engineering and studio recording, going to film school, doing art, photography, computer graphics, graphic design. Today I felt like I need to just stop going to school for a while and try my hand at everything im interested in on my own time. I have absolutely no problems with that plan, but there are a couple snags. The only way Im gonna not go to school is if I find an apartment somewhere. And as soon as I stop going to school, I have to start paying off my student loans. I dont think I can afford to pay off my loans and live on my own at the same time. Theres no way Im living at home while Im not in school. No way. I already did that for 5 months while I was suspended last semester, and id have to say it was probably the darkest, most depressing time in my entire life so far. Im gettin the hell out of this house.
Thats the first step, get out of this house. Then get out of new england. Then maybe get out of the country. Someday, soon. I need to stop just talking about it.
I need food, then bed. Im not even tired, but i have to get up in less than 6 hours. I think ill read for a while.
