Keeping in mind these famous words, spoken by a certain alternafolk bard named Beck, I have decided to write about writing. Yes, what a fabulous exercise in bull shittery. This summer, one of my many goals is to really pick up my pace with regards to my writing. I have several things in the planning stages, and really need to commit some time to ( Read more... )

So, for me, summer is officially here. Classes are over, and my grades are horrible, but at least it is done with! I have already had a bit of summer fun at a super chill cookout last night. What I am really looking forward to is Cinco de Mayo. It is really Tequila's day in the sun. Some fun facts about my favorite liquor: It isn't actually tequila ( Read more... )

Last night/early this morning, was a lot of fun. I stayed out till dawn, and drank way too much, in a good way. It's good to reconnect with the Irish. It was, after all, Reading Day Eve. It is the magical night when elves dance about and all students deny that their is any studying or paper writing to be done. Well it was fun to live it up for a ( Read more... )

My grades SUCK, My money situation is less than stellar, and I haven't seen a gym in months. The insanity is coming from my refusal to continue in this strain. In a little over a month, I will be 21, a completely official adult. ( Read more... )

By the time of my birthday, June 8th, I have had enough heat ( Read more... )

So I'm obsessed. Bear Grylls is my favorite man alive. If you haven't watched Man vs. Wild on Discovery, you have to. Bear is this survival expert who strands himself in crazy, god forsaken, spots of earth, and shows us all how to survive the worst. It is like primal art in the making. It is so raw and testosterone driven. I am just smitten. If he ( Read more... )

SO Easter has come and gone. I only got one thing of peeps. Peeps are my all time favorite anything! They are soo delicious and yummy, and squishy, but in the best possible way. We didn't go to church, but that was no surprise. Concord didn't feel the way it has in the past. I guess I am really beginning to belong more to Boone than to home. I don' ( Read more... )

So Jordan and I are starting a Creamo band named the Screaming Texans.( Creamo is a new wave of music that Jordan and I created:Country Screamo) I think the only things Jordan and I can handle are vocals and light percussion work. We need a rhythm guitarist, a bassist, a full out drummer, and someone who can scream with a southern drawl. I would ( Read more... )

Lately, I have been waxing envious of those who can speak French fluently. It is the language I have committed to for Grad School. I love French, but I am not the best at picking up languages. However, lately I hear French everywhere, spoken well, and it gives me something to aspire to. French is the language of philosophical, intellectual, and ( Read more... )
