someone should really strangle me before i down in this academic turmoil... eh, not turmoil, but im pretty freaking lazy, and i cant get out of it. the only thing i get motivated by is getting music. im scaring myself.
so is like just really freakily great this time of year? (despite ignorance of duties)
like... i've been running into people i used to know a lot lately, and they are completely different people. like this guy i didnt recognize was talking to my bestbud anne today, and... i look up, and it's this guy who had this huge crush on me in middle school, but i said no when he asked me out then. i always kinda felt i missed something, but not in that way, just... we were friends before he asked me out, and me saying no to him changed that and the relationship pretty much evaporated into thin air. he was such a smart guy. he ran track when we came to npenn, he was an honors student, everything... really 'clean cut'.
so, when i looked up, it was him. he had piercings in his face, a tongue ring, tattoos on his arms, everything (this isn't an indication of his personality, im just saying the drastic change in even physical terms), he talks different. what he talks about is different. he smokes weed, does crack/cocaine now. he was talking about how he had rehab tonight until six.... i mean, insane difference.
i looked as if i saw a ghost, i kept my head down and didnt say anything for a good ten minutes while he talked to anne. (they were making some plans for her to sell him pot or something, this is something some of my friends do that i dont participate it whatsoever). he's also in court, i dont know exactly what for, but i heard the words 'paraphenalia' and 'crack house'. i mean, i seriously almost wanted to cry. i wanted to shake the shit out of him and ask what he's been doing to himself over the years. maybe if i went out with him, i couldve changed the way he'd be today.
it drives me nuts that the possiblity of knowing such things is nonexistent.
good shows make me really happy, and defray from the heavy, heavy tolls these disappointments are costing me. Mike's
band is doing really well, and im really glad. EVERYONE be their friend!!!!! and remember June 2006! i already posted info on them in the forum...
and i really need to get the mp3 blog back up and running, perhaps with a tribute to Goodnight & Goodnight? def.
