dont panic

Simpsons

i listen to a lot of music, i dont like to like the music that everyone else does, in fact i might have stopped liking a band because they got popular and every 13 year old knew who they were and ‘absolutly loved them’,  “OMG its my song” type.  I have been called a music snob, i agree with this.
So today im sitting around pirating music and i downloaded another album by the blow.  I mentioned them a week or so ago.  Im listening to it and all i have to say is fuck, and the good kind.  This music is really good.  Its popy yet experemental.  The album in mention is “the concussive caress, or, casey caught her mom singing’.  Check it out.

I just got done working out.  I was so fucking sweaty it was kinda embarissing.  Ive been so busy lately that i havnt gotten a chance to work out and i finally went back today.  Ran and right as i was done my headphone cord got caught on my arm and threw my ipod down the treadmill.  I jumped up so that i wouldnt step on it and yelled “Shit” really loud, and made a lot of noise.  I left immediatly after that.

they have a friends page on here now.  thats awesome, its like Lj, only this place is cooler.

monday night colleen and i went out to ashland for dinner and a show.  We went to Standing Stone for dinner and beers and got fairly drunk off of only two beers, i love nights like that.  Then we went to the Black sheep, or as we called it all night long the BS.  It was funnier then.  There we saw this really good band.  They were called Jason Webley Quartet.  They were kinda polka style pirate music.  the guy played the shovel in a couple of songs and had an awesome voice.  At one point he started walking on tables, and then stopped the band and told a story.  The entire place was dead silent.  after spending way to much money that night we justified it by saying that it was our anniversery.

I have the next 5 days off, its nice.

i cant stay on task for mor than about 10 minutes, and this post is a great example of this.  ive been working on a paper for a few days now.  It is only 5 pages, and im almost there.  But in writing I constantly think of other things i could be doing, get off task and end up spending a great deal of time cruising the net, reading, listening to music, riding my bike, watching shows on the net, walking around the house or playing with the dog.

Last night we had a little party at my house.  The parents were out of town so I had just a small group of close friends over.  We drank and drank and drank.  It was a lot of fun.  Ive gotta get back to this paper, just a little more editing left.

“BEARS!!!! LOOK THOSE ARE BEARS”
Last night Lauren and i saw bears up on Johns Peak.  There were two black bears on one of the trail on the way up to our spot.  One immediatly ran into the brush, the other ran along the road for awhile.  He was hauling ass, and then eventually ran up the hill.  They were fairly low on the peak and it is weird to see any life at all up there.  I thought it was desolate and all that was there was trash and trees.  This was my first time seeing a bear in the wild, i was awesome, they are beautiful.
We spent the evening at the peak.  Lauren Nick and I just sat around the bonfire drinking beer and talking.  We had a bitchin fire going at one point.  Then we started to drive home and took the long way home that goes through Jacksonville.  On the way there we saw some stupid high school fucks that were partying and had gotten their truck stuck.  It looked to be high centered on the axels in the middle of a gigantic puddle.  Their buddies were pulling them out and we couldnt get past so we just sat there and watched their drunk stoned asses try to do their best.  In the end they ended up backing into each other and fucking up one of their trucks.  We laughed a lot.

This morning i had a strange dream.  In the dream I was a little bit younger, probably around high school or something.  I  was at a christian summer camp.  We went around in a circle and we all talked about our beliefs and when it got to me i was truthful about my beliefs and they all gave me dirty looks.  Later one guy kept bothering me about my beliefs and asking me how the earth got here and what not, but we were not allowed to talk and for some reason the teacher couldnt hear him talk but if i would have talked i would have gotten kicked out of the camp.  They were strict.

Check out a band called ‘Film School’.  I came across them last week.  I usually compare the bands to other bands but I dont fee like doing that today.  Just check out this band.

colleen and i decided last night that if we ever were to break up that we still have to be best friends.  we were both fairly intoxicated and i hardly remember the conversations but it made me happy.

we tried out the new bar down town, 38th.  It was good.  It is gonna blow the martini bar out of the water, or out of the alchohol.  It is much nicer, its one of those high end places.  The bar tender is really nice.  But the drinks are expensive.  Then we went to gypsy and i love that place because its chill and they frequently rotate their taps so you always have something new to try in the beer department.

this post is really going no where and is not very exciting, im done writing for the day

i always worry about putting cuss words into the title of my posts.  i know that everyone that reads it is of age, and everyone has heard the word and probably everyone has heard me say it as well.  But alas i still have to think twice about putting those kind of words into the title.

i come up with the best posts when away from my computer.  i write it all out in my head and get home and my head is empty.  i did that today.  it was on my way home from class so my brain was really active.  it was a good one, but then i probably saw a cool cloud or someone cut me off and my mind wandered from there.

i had an amazing day at work today.  i work at an after-school program incase you didnt know, so here goes from here.  a couple of weeks ago my boss went on a rampage and yelled at the kids for about an hour during an activity.  She didnt lower her voice the entire activity.  Teachers in adjacent rooms heard and complained, and comments were passed on to the main boss.  Well my boss got a talking to and now there is absolutly no yelling.  I was never much of one to yell anyways but thats what the final verdict was.  So now instead of yelling, I just stand there and wait.  The kids know that the quicker they are done talking and being rambunctious the quicker we can get to activities.  I think this made sense today and they were quiet quickly and we got an extra activity in and everyone was in a generally good mood.  It was a wonderful day.

Everyone should check out the Les Savy Fav.  Some of their stuff is close to blood brothers sounding material, but other stuff is like dance punk.  yes hipsters still like to dance, just not to beyonce and fity-cent.  The album Inches is really good, and i like the cat and the cobra too, it has a cover of ‘who rocks the party’.  Because we rock the party!!!

so i was at the coast for the weekend.  I really dont fee like putting it all up here as it was a fairly uneventful weekend if you wernt there.  I had a great time.
Sunday night though, there was a terrible storm and it knocked the power out to the entire city.  We sat inside and played cards by candle light.  It was really fun.  Other than that we just walked on the beach, rode bikes and watched movies.

Its late and i have class in the morning.

i have way to many clothes.  i have an entire closet, a large dresser and a full laundry basket full of clothes.  enough socks and underwear to only do laundry once a month, and that once was today.  Load after load after load of laundry and im finally getting to the end of it.  just one more and then those clothes that never really get washed because they are always the same ones that end up at the bottom of the laundry basket.  i think i need to go shopping.

The cider is pretty much done.  It has carbonation and has a good full flavor.  It should sit for another week or so but im drinking it now.

Going to brookings for the weekend.  There will be no update.  We are going there to do absolutly nothing.  I plan to do homework, read a book, listen to music, and watch movies.  It is supposed to rain so i dont expect that we will get that much hiking or trips to the beach in.  We will see and details will be posted upon my return.

You should check out the blow.  They were the artist of the week on itunes last week.  Kinda like feist or regina spektor.  There is also lily allen, coincidently she is the artist of the week this week, but she is very similar as well.

the best dreams come when your kinda awake, half asleep. Mine happened this morning. It was a dream about Colleen and Barbara Bush. They were best friends. Barbara kept saying how great she thought she was. I dont know where it came from but it was kinda funny.

We went and saw the prestige last night. We got drunk at mr smiths first and then walked over to the movie theater in pouring down rain, we had rain coats. The movie was ok, not great, but not horrible. Now im sitting here and should have been studying but i didnt and now its too late to start. Im just gonna go make some dinner.
