Yea Yea Yea, I'm back.
Well, I figured since there is really only a mere week of summer left, I would force myself to update this here journal with my various random thoughts and rantings. Today was overall a good day. Woke up around 1 (I have to stop staying up so late, and force myself to get up earlier, or i will be toast *_*)and called Jamie to chill. Went over to her house and then we went to Panera's for lunch and to Muvico to go see Taladega Nights. As much as I may hate to admit it, I really do like Will Ferrel(sp?) movies. I realize it is all just stupid comedy, but sometimes those sort of movies can really be enjoyable if you let yourself be open to them. Anyways, then I came home and Stephen and Amanda stopped in to chill for a bit ^_^ That was sweetness :-P All in all, a much more productive day than I expected, especially for a Sunday.
***So, beyond just today...my birthday is coming up soon (18 days) I need something to do- it's on a Friday, which should work out well, but you guys just lemme know if you have any suggestions for it, k?
---> In other news, things have been going well on my side for once. I think all of the hardships I have had within the past 12 months of my life have certainly taught me one thing: as bad as things may seem, it really isn't worth your time to sit and bitch and moan. I mean, its difficult to say certain things with the optimistic mood i've been in lately, but (and as much as i hate to be cliche here) i've always felt that Linkin Park says it best- "in the end, it doesn't even matter". My new (and hopefully permanent) outlook on life is that you just have to be true to yourself, stick to what you believe in, and not let any mother fucker out there tell or try to persuade you otherwise. And above all, who gives a fuck what other people think of you? You want to cruise around town with your music blaring and your windows rolled down and just start rocking out- go the fuck ahead. In my opinion, if the people in the car next to you had any sense, they would start head-banging right along with you! I will mention that personal experiences and the words have others have said heavily influenced these thoughts of mine. In particular, I have to thank Tom Delonge for making me see the true importance of supporting what I personally believe, and reminding me that I (and anyone else for that matter) CAN make a fucking difference in the world.
%%%%So, musically speaking, I've been paging and listening through a lot. Been obsessive over Chuck Klosterman's books, of which I have only read Killing Yourself To Live (so far). I would suggest anyone interested in rock music and history to check him out, and really anyone else who just enjoys reading screwy, commentative works. As far as anything else goes, there's really too many bands I'm trying to get into to mention. However, I am not half-assing my way through them. I will say that my newest craze has to be over GYM CLASS HEROES. Unless you are a fan of hip-hop, the band may be a little bit of a stretch for you, as it was at first for me. Nonetheless, the unabashadly honest lyrics and catchy beats swayed me. I am convinced there is a future for them.
Well I think that's it for tonight, folks. Gotta get some sleep here so i can have a somewhat productive day tomorrow. No more lounging around the house when summer is but hours from ending...there's shit to be done that I can't do during the school year!!!
ps- if anyone knows precisely what some of this "shit" is, let me know ASAP
