Next Year
my life will be completely different. All of the friends i have now will be off at their respective colleges, and i will have to come to terms that there will be some i may never see or speak with again. Now i know that isn't a very positive outlook, but hey, the truth is the truth.
I'm already noticing changes this year, and not all of them are good. For one, i've made a few new friends and have gotten closer with some people who i wish i had gotten close to before. Then there's the ones who seem to be slipping farther and farther almost everyday. Well, atleast that's how it feels anyway. There's one person in particular, but i'm not one for mentioning names, that i used to be able to talk to anytime, all the time, and about anything. Now, it kind feels like they're on a ship headed to God-knows-where, while i'm stuck back at the dock being able to do nothing but wave and wish them luck.
People change, this is true, but do friends have to too? It's a little ridiculous to lose a friendship just because something is different. Sure, you may not like things a person has done, or something that person has said, but if you're truly friends, you should be able to put that all behind you...right?
One upside from all this life-crap is that i'm constantly building some truly epic lyrics for my first full song in a long time. I think my last one was written sometime in May-ish, maybe even before that. I can't write well, atleast it doesn't feel like it to me, when things are boring. I need something going on so that i have a catalyst for my writing. It doesn't work if i write about something i'm not experiencing.
This leads me to one of my biggest problems writing-wise. I will start a song, my mind in some place, and it'll be brillant, but, all of a sudden something happens that completely changes my state of mind and then i can't go back and finish, knowing that i'm no longer on the same train of thought i was when i began. Hopefully what i'm feeling now will last long enough for this song to be finished, i'm actually looking forward to it. It has to deal with losing friends due to them moving away, or just becoming distant, and even though it sucks, you have to do what you can, even if it means waving from the dock when you really want to be on board.
That's all for now,

Band/Artist of the Week 10/19/08
Howdy hey, i'm starting a new thing here, every Sunday I'm going to post a new Band/Artist of the Week. This is when i pick a band or artist, tell you about them, and then suggest that you listen to them until they sicken you (but they won't because they're awesome).
First ever Band/Artist of the Week will be the one, the only, Julia Nunes. This is appropriate because her new cd I Wrote These, came out this week (which you can order off her website, link will be below). Julia started off making videos of her playing ukelele/acoustic guitar on Youtube, where she soon gathered a large fanbase (currently around 400,000 subscribers), from here she released her first cd, called Left Right Wrong, of only her playing recorded versions of some of the songs from her videos, the most popular being the song Into The Sunshine.
From there she kept recording videos in her spare time, and eventually had enough material to record her second cd I Wrote These (mentioned earlier). Both of these cds are amazing, and if you like acoustic/alternative you will love Julia.
My Recommendations are the songs:
Into The Sunshine
Regrets
Lasting Impressions
Balloon
Anything from the two cds :-p
Links:
www.youtube.com/jaaaaaaa
-official youtube page where you can watch her videos
www.Junumusic.com
-Offical website where you can order her cd's and t-shirts
Stay tuned for more, i'm excited for this little addition here.
Enjoy!

Screw Reality
I love fantasy. Books, Movies, TV shows, you name it. If it has some sort of mythical creature or something in it, i'll watch it. I don't know why i enjoy the genre so much, but then again i did grow up on Power Rangers and Dragonball Z, which probably didn't help.
Then there's the factor of the monotony of Reality, which Fantasy tends to break. To me, there's nothing better than forgetting life for an hour or two and diving into a new world filled with whatever your mind can dream of.
As i'm typing this, i'm also looking at my copy of Brisignr, the Third Book in the Inheritence Cycle (Which is the Eragon series just fyi), and i noticed that i haven't been bored yet while i'm reading it. It's amazing really. Every book has atleast one boring part you kinda struggle through, even Eragon had this and it took up a whole chapter. It was excrutiating really.
I have already read the Harry Potter Series, i'm still reading Lord of the Rings, i intend on finishing A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Charlie Bone/Children of the Red King Series sometime in the near future, but next (besides school and all) i want to focus on The Wheel of Time series of books. I've heard alot about these books and about how great of a series it is, even if each book is almost 900-1000 pages in length, and there being 13 in the series. (yikes...)
If you know me, i'm not sure if i come across as the reading type. Trust me, i most certainly am, and if it's a good book, good luck seeing me without it for awhile.
Feel free to suggest some to me,
Night all!!!
