LAST post EVER

I feel like everything's gone by so quick. Maybe I'm alone on this but I have a feeling I'm not. Leaving in 4 days (maybe 6) but tomorrow I'm going up to orlando with two great friends and we're just gonna chill up there for a day or two to make sure the bus can handle the distance ahead of it. Two days ago I went to the Emmure show. was pretty intense despite the terrible bands that had to play before them. just not my cup of tea.
Almost done with my third and final reading of house of leaves. Or what I think may be the final reading. I always seem to get pulled back into that book no matter how much I tell myself I want to read other books. I guess its knowing that the other books I have are nowhere near the greatness within the bindings of MZD's books.
I'm bringing my recording gear up with me to north carolina. maybe make a christmas song or something. whatever it is I know it will be awesome. I'm meeting a great musician up there who really knows his stuff. Im thankful that I know him.. just not for the distance between our creative minds.

school is coming to an end (that I couldn't be more happy about). I've just about finished restoring my van. I've redone the door panels and stained them a nice dark maple wood and fastened with these pretty nifty door fasteners. The hole [huge tear] at the top of the camper is now patched and looks great. the biggest improvement (I'd have to say) is the instillation of this new 3/4'' shag carpet I installed into the floor and a part of the roof. the last thing I did was throw in two batteries and now I believe she's ready for north Carolina. It's been fun. At least in the little time it's been. next semester is not only going to be a little harder but hopefully quicker.
since this is pretty much my last post I guess it's safe to say where and what I'll be doing in the next few years. Me and a good friend of mine are planing on purchasing a nice large plot of land either in the norther to mid west or perhaps in Canada. Both equally beautiful. Driving up there and leaving everything behind. Building a cabin and living off the land. although it's rough it is livable. I want to do this to get away from everything. no phones no Internet no electricity. just fishing and growing.

It's early still... I haven't been getting much sleep. I just keep listening. for what I have yet to still find out. Sometimes I hear this noise. It feels like its faintly screaming from the back of my head. I've been painting. I'll try to take some pictures soon. and I've also started reading House of Leaves again. Just what I need before I surround myself with woods in a new state I've never been to.

yours truly

Movie Which I LOVED

alright so this question is only difficult because there are just so many amazing movies which I've watched that choosing one is near impossible. But for the sake of the blog I am going to have to choose a movie which a really good friend of mine recommended about 2 years ago.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind is a movie which I personally will never end up getting tired of. It start Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet who are two people who meet and grow fond of each other. Jim, who's characters name is Joel, one day walks into Kate's (clementine) job only to realize she has no memory of him at all. there is a company which specializes in memory erasing which clementine had used because she thought Joel was not exciting enough for her. well Joel gets his memory erased but realizes during the erasing that he wants her memory with him and that he made a mistake. It's really difficult to explain but the overall movie is great. It's smart and a little serious which is weird because I was never used to seeing Jim Carrey play that kind of role. 10-10 c:

been away for a little while, computer wise. I finally finished HP and the deathly hallows last night. the ending was quite cliche but I cant say that I expected that whole dumbledore seen to happen so quick. overall I really enjoyed it. I can't wait to finally start reading this collection that has just build itself up in my room of other books that just float around friends.
In other news I finished planing my trip to North Carolina the other night. Planing on getting up there as soon as class gets out. which I believe is december 15th. and staying up there just before christmas to make it back down here. I have waited so long to do this and words cannot explain how happy I am to finally do this.

made a few sketches on a few of the canvases. we'll see where those go. college math is the stupidest thing I've ever had to go through. you get class once a week. (which in the class all you do is take notes and try to understand the professors accent and try to take him seriously) and you have a test at the end of the week. maybe because its new to me and im just having a hard time with it. sometimes I try and look ahead to see what this whole college thing is for. so maybe one day i can have a little desk job within a cubicle writing papers to complete morons who inherited a company or someone who bought their way to the top. ( number 1 reason why the military sounds so good.) I just watched the movie MOON. about 2 people on the moon who loose their minds. it was pretty awesome. a friend of mine told me to watch requiem for a dream. thats next on the list. 14 more days till the circa survive show. I have a lot of things to do. im just having a hard time trying to figure out what ones to do first. my life > school but...
it's the weekend. canvas at michaels is 50 percent off. im gonna go ride my bike there now actually.

life is good. Last night me and a few friends went to the whitechapel show. all in all it was an amazing show but the main band i wanted to see never showed up due to their van breaking down half way here. meanwhile I've been sitting down more to write music and such for myself and the band. weird dreams have started taking place again. not sure what causes them but i hate them. they just taunt me on how shitty this life is when i wake up. i really wish there is some way we can connect the two and be able to live dream lives as well as lives awake. I need some oil and canvas. lately I've had the urge to paint things. things i wouldn't normally think about painting but things that my mind desperately wants to get out.

9-11

I can't remember much from the day but this. I was still in elementary school at the time. fourth or fifth grade. I noticed kids starting to leave (getting dismissed early) I was completely unaware of what was happening so I just thought it was coincidence. The last bell rung and I proceeded to the bus like I normally did back then. I walked into my house and the news was on on the living room tv. some rant about how two towers had been hit by planes. I watched. I had relatives in New York I wasn't sure if everything was alright. everything was calm at the house but my parents were uneasy. throughout the whole day everyone seemed to have a sort of blank face pasted to their heads walking with their heads hung low. I was still a kid. I had no Idea what was really wrong. To this day I still think its something to mourn but I find it sad to think that because of this we go to war with another country because we "thought" they were the ones to hit us. Its all childsplay.

I've begun drawling up tattoo designs in my spare time. some of them are pretty sweet and im actually considering getting them. Need to drive up to a recruiter sometime soon and find out about Marines and if not that than the army. I just need to do some things before im too old and going into the service is something I've wanted to do for such a long time. we will see how this works.

summah

This past summer changed me. I made a lot of choices and learned a lot about what I want to do and how to achieve this. First off I guess I can start off and say that I'm somewhat of an at home musician. I record my own music with a really good friend of mine. If anyone ever decides to read this or pay any attention to the text: (band). I travel a lot, or at least I think so, back and forth to New York and soon to other cities across the USA. Over last summer I got into art. Although my skills as a painter are lacking I still enjoy messing around with canvas and oil paints. Mainly due to a painter I recently discovered: Esao Andrews.(again if you are actually reading this I urge you to look up some of his work). My main accomplishment I set for myself was finishing a book I had been wanting to read for some time. "House of Leaves" a crazy novel about infinite space and insanity. (last time I promise, if you like reading this book will change your life.)
