Guernica
Its been qutie awhile since the last one but hey i dont pull these things out of my ass, when i feel like writing (typing) about something i do it and although there has been things on my mind i havent been able to figure out how to translate some of them onto these pages, so first of all something easy that interests me...
obviously you know if ur reading this im a pretty damn big Brand New fan and i just found out the song Guernica (which is another classic) is about the lead singer's grandfather developing cancer. Look up the lyrics and its completely obvious i had just never thought to look up the lyrics (i also read about it on their website). Here is the refrain:
"Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these, so I sat alone and waited out the night. The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around. I'm not writing my goodbyes."
I gotta go see them in concert, Jeff, Camie i know yall r up for it lets do it this year.
School starts monday and i honestly have no idea where im going to be this time next year. im pretty sure it will be some place good but it will be awhile before thats a sure thing. for now lets just call it a safe bet because of my half full disposition. this year should definatly be interesting.
while were talking about interesting iv found myself in some intriguing situations with some people, and the ones im thinking of i dont really consider a good thing. why is it no matter how much you talk about keeping it from happening and how impossible it may seem to actually happen you lose touch with your closest friends. one of my friends summed it up perfectly; the type of person whos mood when they talk to you completely decides yours. the funny thing about it is the second you start talking again you feel like there hasnt been any gap at all. im sure iv been the reason for the lull in conversation just as much as whoever my counterpart may be but it still irritates the hell outa me. my mom summed it up perfectly; you dont realize how much an effect somebody has on your life until they are out of it. it doesnt help when answering machines dont work.
my mom and i had a huge talk last night (that was good) about how people are nothing but consumers now. we get so entranced in tv movies and buying stuff thta they forget about the important things in their life. the things you own will end up owning you. another thing we talked about (intrerestingly enough) is death. it was really cool just talking to her about what she considers about her life if she were to die tomorrow (hypothetically speaking of course) and about stuff that she would like to do before she dies. her main point was she would be happy because of how much she loves her family (matt and i) and because of how much we love her. i thnik thats the one thing that once i have i will not have any fear of death anymore: my own family.
but what i have is good enough for now.
