NO! SLEEP!

TILL, uh, till...6 in the mo'nin'? Am I allowed to do that? Nevermind. I realized that despite being all ready for bed, I don't really wanna sleep yet. I'm gonna eat oatmeal and listen to music and dick around on the web instead.

Lately, I've been able to do pretty much what I want, when I want. This is the joy of being an EMAC major. If I don't feel like doing homework, usually I don't have to. Only when it comes down to the wire, and so far it's been mostly easy. I pull a few all-nighters, but I kind of enjoy it. It's totally fucking rad, because I'm just enjoying life, and learning when I want to. Which is what I want to be doing.

I was talking to my friend Laura (the female one) today at lunch, and I ended up preaching the Jesse gospel like I sometimes do. Something about how if you try to stress out about things as little as possible, life is great. An event is not innately good or bad in itself, it's only how you react to it. The point is that you are the only person that determines your happiness. This I truly believe. I mean, yeah, sometimes it's really hard to react well to certain situations, but if you get the chance, stop and take a step back. Ask yourself "Is this really worth getting pissed off/sad about?"

Then, on the other hand, you can take Wes' point of view, which I agree with from an intellectual standpoint but can't seem to put into practice, which is that no *emotion* is innately good or bad, and thus each should be embraced equally. Something to try, for sure!

Anyway, have a good one y'all. Music = life. My latest project is called (let's get a name for us) with John McGill and you'll hear it in a bit. Out!

Post-midnight delight

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I love music. The new Mogwai is sooooo good! Hitting the spot right now.

I know I haven't posted in forever, and I know barely anyone reads this, and maybe that's cause and effect in some form right there...but maybe I should make things more entertaining. Are we not products, to be sold? Bah.

Lately, I am in love with life. Things have been very good at school; what with people settling in, general chillaxing, classes being really interesting and totally sweet, and me getting stoked about music all over again every couple days.

Speaking of which! I have this project (which I should probably name) where I'm writing songs for my friend Emilie, because she asked me to and because it sounded like the reason I needed to start writing solo stuff. So here is the first installment in an ongoing series, entitled "I Dunno What It Is, But It's Stuck To My Shoe" - Idea | Finished

Enjoy!
