Any colour you like...

So I made this colour chart a while ago. I wanted a quick refernce of what I owned color-wise when I had the choice of picking out something new in more than one press of a color. I already have to add to it, but I still think this is a cool picture. Or it could just be the fact that I am currently bored and temporarily immobile.

More Halloween fun.

I made this 3 yeras ago already. time flies

Not having a car on campus kinda sucks but at the same time its not that bad. Kinda lookin forward to walking back to the house in the snow. Might miss the Sheetz meeting though. boohooo.

My jeans have still only been washed once since August, but that's ok.

I went home tonight to see my mom and dad for the first time since break?  A good two solid weeks or so.  My visits are becoming more and more sparse.  It felt good to just walk in and lay down on the couch to a warm empty house, before everyone got home from school and work.  I took a nap on that couch.  I used to hate sleeping on that couch.  My mom made tacos because she knew I was coming home and that is awesome.  I also left with a couple bags of food and clean clothes.

I feel more and more lately like I am just visiting than anything else.  My former bedroom is now formally broken in by Blayze.  Blayze's room became my room, but it just seems more like a spare bedroom than anything else.  The only thing that keeps it from leaving me is the custom green wall color scheme and the dresser full of old band tshirts.  Winter break will be an interesting checkpoint to note the state of things.  If I work a lot, I will stay in Greensburg more than anything.

You gotta remember though, Greensburg gets pretty damn lonely when everyone goes home for break.  Then again, it's pretty damn lonely anyway.  Time changes everything.

Lose/lose situation.

I hope I still 2-3 days off at a time here and there.  That would be nice.  I want to be able to travel around and play as much music as possible with friends.  That's what I live for.

misfits nerd.

Lose this skin.

Every now and then I get the urge to write in here.  This little, innocent, white box that eventually turns into something that everyone can see.  I get the urge to write music, I want to write new songs.  More often than anything else, I'll sit on my bed, strum a few chords, work with a couple vocal melodies, and decide, "Today isn't the day."  Other end results include re-workings of songs I already have written and recorded and played for a few years.  Tonight was one of those nights.  The creative process is a bitch.  Yet, at the same time.

Recently I feel like my time is extremely limited and pinpointed.  Living in a house with three people who really have nothing to do with music.  It just isn't my thing.  Especially on nights when everyone is sleeping three hours before I am.  I want to use this time for creativity and I feel restricted.  It stresses me out.  I am here for school, sure.  I want to graduate, I want to live and make enough money to be comfortable.  But at the same time, fucking live a little.  

I hate inactivity.  I strive for productivity on a day to day basis.  I hate the fact that I try to keep in motion for the most of my day, and I try to keep busy.  Yet, some people can be content with watching tv during their downtime.  And not just a half an hour here and there, but for hours at a time.  Really, what do you get out of that?

I try to live. I want to branch out my hobbies.  I want to constantly learn how to play new instruments.  I want to constantly improve my graphic design skills.  And you have the ideal couch-potato figure mentioned above.  How do they sleep at night?

I need a solution.  I will write all that I can through this blog.  At first, this was to document interesting show experiences.  Those will continue to pop up, but more often than not, this may be a day to day blog.

So regardless of the situation, I will try to make a new hobby out of this.  I will write no matter the occasion.  I just have to keep telling myself that it will assist in creativity.  It will spawn inspiration.  Am I right?

It's been a while since I....

A new placeholder. I haven't touched this thing for a while, and it really is no big deal because I don't really promote it, but still. I wanna keep this up to date for my own personal reference. It feels really good to just write or type and not have any pressure put on you. This is not a research paper. There is no due date. The only due date is the day that I forget what I wanna write about.

So, without further ado, sometime soon I hope to post about:

- the show with World/Inferno

World/Inferno was a good time.  We sold the majority of our tickets and 130 paid in total.  A great turnout for a Tuesday night.  On top of that, World/Inferno played a killer set and I met a lot of people that we sold tickets to.  That makes no sense?  These were people I got in touch with online.  They were all great.  Thanks again for everyone who came and made this such a good party.

- the show with Static Radio and Let Me Run at the end of the summer

Not much to say other than the fact that this was the one show at the Corner Pocket that I actually enjoyed and didn't regret at all.  The bands were awesome NJ bands and really cool guys.  We played a decent set and didn't run into any problems.

- the show with the Lower Class Brats
