...i love COLD's lyrics
It's been over a month since i've updated? Jesus. I'm sure nobody really read this anyway... But,
I'M GOING TO SEE THE DEFTONES AUGUST 1st AT FLOYD'S! FUCK YEAH! i have never seen them live before, and $25 aint bad. Thanks go to James B (aka Urzu8).
It's been a long month... saw my entire KY family, which was incredible, as usual.
James M (aka Griffith) is returning to us on August 7th. Can't wait.
I have 3 weeks off of school in August. Thank fucking god.
Summer full of memories had, and memories yet to be created. *wistful sigh* fun time to be alive, i say...
Fall will be easier. German is a hard language, dammit.
*commence Sammy v2.0*

rockstar lifestyle
anyone else think it's weird to fly from tallahassee to tampa, only to shave 5 hours of travel time off what i'd have to do if i drove?
well, i'm leaving at 1:40pm today, coming back at 1:20 or so tomorrow. it will be an interesting day because i will be around my entire nuclear family. father, mother, sister, brother, and me. that has not happened in a social setting in... uh... well, since the early 1990s. i can't believe my little brother is graduating high school tonight. so weird. i am old! fuck!
there are too many blogs out there, or, i should say: too many blog services. LJ, myspace... i don't know where to write my musings.

summer insanity item
i am flying to sarasota tomorrow, to attend my brother's graduation. i will be in sarasota for less than 24 hours, which is insane, but... whatever. i am in the library currently studying for the Comp. Govt. exam i have in 2 hours, and i'm scared. but i'm always scared before exams...
my emotions are a roller coaster, and i go up and down without warning. it's quite frustrating. on a brighter note, i've still "quit" cigarettes, as it's been about 12 days since i've had one... comin up on 2 weeks cig-free!
back to studying.

haemoglobin is the key to a healthy heartbeat
so yeah, summer semester starts off.
taking a Comparative Gov't of Western Europe class, and Elementary German I.
i've been struggling with emotional issues, and it's been difficult.
at least i got a 4.0 last semester.
my mom and brother are coming today, in 4 hours, and i have to pick them up from the airport, do about a million errands, go out to eat sushi and then go see The Da Vinci Code.
then 2 weeks from now, i have to fly home to Sarasota and see my brother graduate, and fly back the next day. i feel like a businessman.
the scar beneath my eye is still pretty pronounced, a month later. sucks...
well, i must get back to cleaning...

i caught a water bottle with my face
...Last night... and:
...this morning. only someone as cool as i could catch a full zephyrhills water bottle with my face.
i am going to tell people i got into a fight and the the other guy looks worse.
actually, that's a lie, i'll probably say: "i caught a water bottle with my face." good conversation starter.
trying to look on bright side of this. i'm not a vain guy but 2 weeks of black eye and scab-face will put a damper on anyone's day. ha.
BTW: everyone should go see the movie Thank You For Smoking, because it is fucking awesome/hilarious!
only 9 days left until my birthday. "woooo" *unenthusiastic woo*
my Mom came to tally yesterday for 2 hours. picked her up for the tallahassee regional airport, then we went straight to publix and got a lot of food. then we went to my apartment and cleaned up, and then i took her back to the airport. but for my bday present, she is paying my MasterCard balance down to 0. and my Dad sent me a $100 gift card to Best Buy. sweeet.
lotta work to do before school is over (my last final is the 27th), so i'd best get to it.

Meds
i just picked up the newest Placebo album "Meds," at Best Buy. $16, ouch. but, it is really good so far. i love this band. i can't believe this is their 5th album.
last week, my buddy Shane was in town and it was really fun hanging out with him. now i must go visit him in jacksonville, at some point.
there are only 3 weeks left of this semester. it is crazy that it has gone by so fast. not that it matters too much, because i get about a 11-12 day break from my last day of finals until the first day of the summer semester.
James is moving to Chicago on Thursday. i am really going to miss him. even though we live almost 5 hrs apart right now in florida (actually about 320+ miles), we've had many chances to meet halfway in Gainesville and hang out with Alex (which we did this past weekend, and it was a grand fucking time! {for the most part}). took some awesome pictures, which i will try to put up somewhere.
fuck, this new Placebo album is so beautiful.
anyways, that was a digression.... James is moving almost exactly 1000 miles away in 2 days and that makes me sad. he is one of my closest friends and i will miss him very much.
special msg for James: i hope for the best for you in chicago, brother. you and i will always share the brand of the godhand, and i'll always be the Guts to your Griffith.
i've been somewhat mixed up in the head lately. not sure exactly what is wrong with me, if there IS anything wrong, but... i just do not feel right sometimes. out of phase with the rest of the world around me, or seeing people for who they really are. maybe i'm being overly sensitive or dramatic. maybe not. either way, it isn't that big of a deal and i'm sure i'll be alright.
my mom is in egypt, visiting the pyramids/sphynx, cruising the Nile and the Meditteranean, and she saw a total solar eclipse, an astronomical event that only occurs roughly every 18 months. i am envious, yet happy for her to have this opportunity.
Damn, 24 has been insane this season. Last night's episode's ending left my jaw hanging wide open, with me going "whooaaa" out loud, to myself.
i've also been catching up with The Shield. Vic Mackey is the shit, 2nd only to Jack Bauer. i wanted to rent discs 3-4 of season 4 at blockbuster as i was purchasing the new Placebo cd, but disc 3 was gone. dammit. oh well.
i have a lot to do. for school and around my apartment. that's about it then...

Mudvayne & KoRn
Crazy day yesterday. I got into the WWII Institute here at FSU. That was a plus.
Then, James calls and says he may not be able to come... and never gets back to me as to whether or not he IS coming.
Luckily, my friend Cat saved the day and drove up to Jacksonville from Gainesville with almost no notice. I mean, free concerts are always a good thing for someone, but I would like to dedicate this post to Cat Smith for saving the day and making it so i did not have to go alone.
The first band 10 years sucked. they are TOOL / APC rip-offs.
Then Mudvayne came on. I can't even remember if that was my 5th or 6th Mudvayne show. I had never seen them in a stadium setting, so the acoustics were fucked up, but they still ruled. They played:
Determined
Pushing Through
-1
Fall Into Sleep
Death Blooms
Silenced
Not Falling
Nothing to Gein
Happy?
Dig
and then KoRn took the stage. I was worried about this, because they are minus 1 guitarist from the last time i saw them. But they remedied that. They have an entire backup band now. There were 8 people on stage. The 4 members of the band, and then 1 extra vocalist, 1 extra drummer, 1 keyboardist, and 1 extra guitarist. It was bonkers. They also had these rad video sequences projected behind them. Korn played for almost 2 hours, they played so many songs i cant remember them all, but i will try to make a partial list:
It's On
Counting
Dirty
Liar
Got the Life
Shoots and Ladders
Clown
Blind
Freak on a Leash
Tearjerker
their "medley" of like 15 songs in one, which was so badass.
Twisted Transistor
Hypocrites
Love Song
My faith in Korn has been renewed. They put on an incredible show, and struck many nostalgiac cords. Beer was too expensive there, but what do you expect at a concert?
Concert over. Onto school dilemmas.

V
V For Vendetta was an incredible film. All must go and see its wonders. Reminiscent of and 1984 and Equilibrium. Hugo Weaving was a tremendous "V."
I also want to see A Scanner Darkly and Silent Hill. Too many movies, not enough time.
I got all the classes I wanted for summer and fall. That made me happy.
and that is enough for now.

it's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything.
imagination. dreams. concerns. fears. musings. thoughts. feelings. sanity. insanity. karma. dharma. blue skies. music. media. books. lessons learned. lessons yet to be learned. past. present. future. everything. nothing. all that lies between...
...and all that could have been.
...and all that could have been.
