why the hell not
Back from the dead i decided that i would go ahead and update this piece mainly because i need something to do.
After a particularly draining summer semester it is finall vacation and i am fully embracing it. classes ended up going quite well and i managed two A's and a B which i'll take considering the crazy amount of partying i've done since school got out. Batman Begins absolutely rocked my world and since my last class a week ago i've devoted myself to the ps2 and gamecube for a number of reasons. As I said school was particularly time consuming and draining this year but a lot of other fun stuff has been going on that has taken a considerable amount of my attention and energy so this week has basically been rehab from some stuff. I've hunkered down in the lay-z-boy and managed to play through final fantasy 7 again and that was an extremely rewarding experience (again) but i wont bore you non gamers with that nonsense (just know that onimusha is fucking amazing) but i digress. One of the biggest rewards I've gotten from this year has been my new love for music. The British band Muse has absolutely revolutionalized how i view music (they're my 311 for those of you who know neal lol) but on top of that I've grown to love bands like Interpol, The Mars Volta, The Dandy Warhols, Franz Ferdinand, and basically taken a real Indy ride thanks to the likes of Nils, Kyle, and Dadrian. I've also made the huge change in my life by purchasing an Apple iBook which is absolutely fantastic. Since i got an iPod for xmas i've yearned for the mac products and as soon as my computer crashed the final time my parents decided to cut there losses and purchase me a new laptop and i can now officially say "fuck microsoft" and not be a hypocrite. I am an Apple whore. At the tail end of the spring semester i started to play golf again regularly. i've gotten away from that a bit recently (again due to my packed schedule) but i started to see real progression in my game. I'm significantly stronger now than when i stopped playing and my golf game has only gotten better because of it. This summer I'm going home for two weeks in July and then I'm flying to michigan for a logn weekend to celebrate my gradnparents 50th wedding anniversary. this is bittersweet. yes it will be nice to see a million people i havent seen since "(I) was just a little boy but at the same time i'm pretty done with flying. Since last June i've flown to michigan now four times and Paris once. Basically things are firing on all cylinders at the moment. yes there are always things to improve but for the first time in quite some time things feel good. School was fine, I'm getting only closer with my newish friends, and other than kinda being strapped for cash i dont really have many problems in life right now. Basically i wake up, play video games until dark, adn then party the night away. this is the way i always wanted college to be and now that i've grown up and gotten past the stage where i stayed out until 8 am because i could life is much more rewarding. As much as i love my late nights of dancing drunkenly and making an all aroudn ass of myself its nice having the late nights of discussing politics unitl we're blue in the face. and honestly it doesnt get any better than getting a half dozen people and going out to eat wiht no priorities. In an ideal world i might have more direction in my life but for now this is keeping me happy. Just enjoying the run...
