What do you see out there in the light?

Strange Days ~ Matthew Good Band

Good morning
Don't cop out
You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
Are you crazy to want this
Even for a while?
We're making this shit up
The reasons for being are easy to pay
You can't remember the others
They just kind of went away
So you're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs
When you drift off to wake up
Do you always hit the brakes?

We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone
Either dead or dying
Either dead or trying to go

It's evening, you're tired
You sleep walk, a robot out to the street
Are you crazy to want this, even for a while? you're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving backwards
Into a wall of fire
Backwards
Into a wall of fire

We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone
You're gone
Either dead or dying
Either dead or trying to go
Good morning
Don't cop out




Edit: So after I wrote this post I realized that when I was in one of the workshop days of my short fiction class, that one of my stories was compared to this video. It seemed that everyone really like the story and then when I went in search of this video to post here (I hadn't clued in that it was the same song, for some reason I was thinking Apparitions) it clicked in. I have always love this video, but I really didn't mean to have my story turn out pretty much exactly like it... that's my useless fact of the day....

What a strange week this has been...

So after the last time I post things went downhill. I'm gonna try to avoid talking about it too much at the risk of sounding depressive and emo, but let's just say that I was having a rough time getting out of it.

Major things that happened:
1) Fighting with Andy - This was the most uncool of them all. We ended up snapping at each other over silly things that really would never have gotten to us in any other case. I learned that I need to be more honest sooner.

2) Paper Week - Goddamm am I glad this is over. Maybe I won't be so stressed out all the time. Pretty sure I failed this last one... even though I stayed up until 6:30 this morning doing it.

3) Sleep habits - speaking of 6:30 am... I woke up at 7:15 I might add. I'm literally falling asleep in class right now. I have horrible sleep patterns right now and it's messing with me now. Any suggestions?

4) Friends are getting more depressed than me - last semester a very close friend of mine tried to kill himself, and another put himself through hell last night and a couple days before. Everyone seems to be getting such rough times lately and everyone is losing sight of all the good in their lives. I hate seeing my friends like this. Thankfully Richie is ok, aside from a broken nose and a cracked neck, but things are going to be hard for him in the next while.

5) School - pretty sure I might fail at least two of my classes this semester.

6) Money - I have none....


Ok... so that's out of my system, I'll get to the good stuff!

Andy and I have worked pretty much everything out between us now and I'm really glad. I miss him so much lately and I can't wait to see him. Things are going to be rough now that summer hours are starting for him soon and I may not get to see him much after next weekend. I think we can tough it out though, I think. I love you!

I'm really enjoying spending time with people. Saturday, I swear, was one of the best days I've had this year. Sadly Frogs was much lamer than we thought it was going to be (the frogs didn't even kill anyone!), but watching Sam Elliot 70s version saving people from various exotic animals that are very unnatural to Florida was kind of entertaining.... oh wait... no it wasn't. Thankfully TMNT made up for it. Even though I wasn't on a higher plain of existance like Ky, Jill, and Gregiore. Jordan, I still swear that Raf is GhostRider!! The WalMart adventure with Jill and Lisa M made my day too... we found some ugly clothing! I vote we do that again sometime soon, girls.

Hanging out with Geoff was been great too. As much as I like hanging out with the group, I enjoy having one on one time with people too. I kind of wish that I got to do the same with other people as well. I've come to the conclusion though that I want Geoff's family to adopt me. They are amazing people and are always so nice to me.

Watching One Acts with Martha yesterday was definitly a higlight of the past week. The two of us were laughing so hard! Martha is one of those people that I wish I knew better now because she's just so much fun to be around. As for the One Acts, good work guys! JAMES YOU NEED TO PUT ON THE CRAZY HAT WHEN YOU KILL BIFF!! We were so tempted to just yell at you from the audience to put the hat on.. I totally vote Gregiore for Pope too... And Joe is the most adorable thing to ever wear brown shoes!

Tonight I'm going to see Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and then go to karaoke afterwards. It'll be a good change from last night where I didn't sleep at all. After class I'm going to go sleep for a few hours or something so I don't crash later...

My final note... why is there a bump on the back of my head? It kind of hurts....

There's an angel in my life...

Catch My Disease ~ Ben Lee

My head is a box filled with nothing
and that's the way I like it
My garden's a secret compartment
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
Your body's a dream that turns violent
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
The winter is long in the city
and that's the way I like it

So please
Baby please
Open your heart
Catch my disease

I was backstage in pomona
and that's the way I like it
She drank beer with Coca-Cola
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me about the winds from Santa Ana
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me she'd love me like fireworks
and that's the way I like it

So please
Baby please
open your eyes
and catch my disease
So please
Baby please
come on
and catch my disease

catch it
Na na na na na na na na na

they play good charlotte on the radio
and thats the way i like it
they play sleepy jackson on the radio
and thats the way i like it
and thats the way i like it
i hear beyonce on the radio
and thats the way i like it
and thats the way i like it
they dont play me on the radio
but thats the way i like it

So please
Baby please
Open your heart
and catch my disease

So please
Baby please
Come onnnnnnnn
And catch my disease
Catch my disease!

Ok so I swear that this is one of the happiest song ever made. I had to find something like this to match this post because it just made my day....

Today I got to see a few of my relatives that I haven't seen for a long time because they live in Kelowna and they don't get to visit often. But my aunt and my two cousins, Hope (10) and Jenna (8) came over to have lunch with me, my mom and brother, my grandma, and my great grandma because they were taking a trip to Vancouver. So Allan drove me out to Terminal Park where I met them all at the Granery for lunch, and the two girls insisted that I sit between them.

We sit and get lunch and talk and what not, when Jenna looks at me. She says "You want to be a teacher right?" and I agree, so she nods and is quiet for a second and then adds, "I want to be a teacher too. Actually, I want to be just like you when I get older."

Did that ever make my day! I just hugged her and could help but smile for the rest of the time.

It just never ends....

I get the feeling that I'm going to get stuck in the middle of something that I really don't want to be in very soon. I don't know what it is or who it will be with, but I do know that it is not a good feeling.

I'll be putting party pictures up soon enough somewhere.

K - Knowledge:
50. The purpose of school: to better our lives through gaining the knowledge we need to survive in doing what we need/want to do, to give me a job later in life
51. Do people refer to you as smart, dumb, or average? I've been referred to as each at some point in my life, I'd say I'm pretty average, but I do have my moments on either end of the scale.

56. Do people around you show you a lot of love (tell you they love you, hug you, kiss you, etc.)? thankfully yes, I love you all for giving me hugs so often

58. Do you hate it when girls in their young teenage years say they 'love' someone that they've been dating for a few weeks? I guess.. I don't really know.
59. Does it take a lot for you to say you love someone, or is it just a word? I have different types of love for people... I 'love' my friends, I 'love' my family, and I 'love' Andy. Romantic love is not something that I will say lightly if that's what you mean...

61. Is your family on the poor side, average, or above average when it comes to money? I really have no idea, but I'm gonna say average

63. Would you rather win millions of dollars and be set for life, or find the perfect person to marry and start a family with? Much rather hae someone to love and love me in return. Money may be what runs the world, but connections and relations are what run my life.
64. On a scale of 1-10, how important is money to you? probably about a 6 or 7 right now.. so many things require money that it's getting harder and harder to get by lately

N - Naughty:
65. Are you a virgin? no
66. What do you think about doing sexual things with someone you're not going out with? casual sex isn't a bad thing unless you are dating someone already... then you're just causing issues

72. Are you generally untrusting towards people because of past experiences, or any other reason? sometimes, yes.... stupid jerk...
73. When are you comfortable with someone sexually? I don't really have a set time period... it's not like I go into heat or anything... when I feel the closeness and intimacy needed and feel I can return it equally, then I feel ready
74. When it comes to parents and close friends, what's the limit of what you can tell them? I have a few friends that I confide pretty well everything in, the only one in my family that I really talk to about anything is my brother

77. Are you more optimistic or pessimistic? I already answered this question... "I don't know lately!"

79. Have you ever had a time where something really bad happened, but something really good happened because of it? more than once

Q - Questions:
80. When faced with a problem, do you ask for help or try to figure it out yourself? I more often try to ignore it and hope it goes away on its own... though that usually makes more stress on me. I don't like asking for help so I will try to do it on my own and only ask if I've failed multiple times on my own.
81. Do you often question the world and how we came about? actually yes, just not out loud
82. Do you think the government is truthful? I don't pay attention to politics, though I probably should, but for the most part no

84. What is one unsolved mystery about the world that you want answers to? evolution.. I find the evolution of people so fascinating!

R - Respect:
85. How do you show respect? ask for opinions, trying to help out when needed, basically showing the person I value them in every aspect, listen and converse in turn
86. What can someone do for you to lose all respect for them? to consistantly do things that are hurtful or disrespectful to people, constant lying to me or the people closest to me, I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them now..
87. Do you respect your teachers, parents, and other authority figures? parents for sure, teachers absolutely... anyone else I don't really talk to/interact with
88. When you are disrespectful to your parents, what is the punishment? umm my mom gets short with me, my dad is more just talk it out
89. If someone is mean to you, are you mean back or do you kill them with kindness? depends on who it is and how pissed off I get at them... usually I will just grind my teeth and walk away, or argue back.

110. If you had three wishes, what would they be? to be able to get through school successfully without the help of student loans, for all my loved ones to be happy in what ever they do, and for my family to make it through life in comfort because I know that paying for my schooling is making life rough on everyone

Well here I am... alive and such, though sometimes I don't feel like it. I think things are getting better with me though because I don't feel it as intensely as before. It still happens and I feel just down and empty and alone and such, just not as bad as I was.

AKA house party was something I needed. It felt good to just have a good time with everyone and be silly and happy and such.. I passed out on the couch before everyone else was on the floor (I think only Brianna and one other person beat me to it) and so I fell asleep happy, though quite drunk.

Saw 300 with people... oh my gosh was ever amazing! The style was very different from Sin City (which makes sense since Rodriguez didn't direct it) but it was still very very very awesome. I won't say anything about the movie since I know a few people who read my blog haven't seen it and want to...

I'm seriously thinking of quiting Superstore lately, but I may wait until after I move. Depending on where I end up is going to really affect my decision.

Times like this I wish I had stuck with my guitar lessons... it was always so relaxing and stuff to fiddle with little sections of a song that I had learned or found a tab for, even though I wasn't very good at it. I need something to put my mind at ease because I'm getting restless for something to do and I have very little. When Geoff played his acoustic while we were chilling out at his place after going to the bottle depot, I just couldn't help but be happy. Acoustic guitar just has some sort of good feeling in me, because whenever I hear that kind of music I just feel so relaxed and can't help but smile. I bet if I still played I would appreciate it more, but for now, I'll enjoy it as much as I can.

I also got the new Finger Eleven CD last week and I rarely stop listening to it. The new release isn't even the best song in my opinion... They wen't for a different sound this time and as much as I like the old sound, I'm really enjoying this album.

Really happy that the warm weather is coming back now. I'm ready to have the sun out and walk around town and just enjoy the day. That and warm weather time is the best time to drive around with the windows down and turn the music up. Summertime is the time of forcing pedestrians and other drivers to listen to your music! Of course the downside is that other drivers think the same thing.... unless they have good music.

I think that's everything for now... if any of you guys ever want to hang out or anything just leave me a comment or call or email me. I'm around for the most part and usually bored outta my mind.

Where does the good karma come in?

Wow... what is about second semester that always seems to get everyone so down. I've gone through everyone's blogs lately and everyone is just in such a rut (myself included) that it's almost impossible to get away from it.

So many people need hugs. I want to be able to give them, but where do I start? On one hand I have my friends, so many of which are feeling down and I love them so I want to help, but on the other, I have no idea what's wrong with me. Will helping others first help make me feel better?

It happened again today. I didn't want to get out of bed at all. Not because I was comfortable or lazy or anything, because I felt I had no reason to. I ended up staying there an hour longer than I should have, as I was studying for the majority of the day. It didn't help, so I got up and then I got sick. Joy. After spending about half an hour in the bathroom, I spent the rest on the couch in my living room, depressed and reading my text for a midterm tomorrow. Even when I went out with Geoff and Kyle to Longwood Pub, I was feeling stressed out and down. I think I hid it well.

Andy's probably going to stress out even more when he reads this, and it's not what I want. Please, don't worry about me more than you already do. It's bad enough knowing that you stress over me as much as you do, and the last thing I want is to make it worse. I just don't know what to do... aside from what we talked about. But we know how much I don't want to do that.

I think I'm really looking forward to the AKA house party on Saturday, though sadly I won't be able to make it to the show beforehand. I work til 10:15 pm and I still gotta figure out how I'm going to get to AKA house from there. Maybe I'll get a cab if I can afford it. I'll be there though, even if I have to be sober for work the next day.

Well I should sleep before my exam. God, I hope I pass.

Slow times with the lights out...

When The Night Feels My Song ~ Bedouin Soundclash

I'm on the rocky road,
Heading down off the mountain slope,
And as my steps echo (echo) louder than before

Another day is done,
Say good-bye to the setting sun,
See what I found, turn back to the ground just like before

And hey hey hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
hey Beautiful Day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day
Hey, hey hey hey
Hey Beautiful Day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day

When the night feels my song,
I'll be home, I'll be home

Into the undergrowth,
Twist and turn on a lonely road
In the twilight the day turns to night and I'm alone

And when the light has left,
I'm not sure of my every step
I'll follow the wind that pushes me west back to my bed

And hey hey hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day.
Hey, hey hey hey (hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day (hey! hey!)
Hey Beautiful Day.

When the night feels my song,
I'll be home, I'll be home
(x 3)



Well here I am... back in Nanaimo. After spending the week in CR, I am feeling happier, but not 100%. I had planned on staying a night with Andy and Trista at her place, but I didn't. Plans got altered, per say, but I don't think things were as bad as I made them out to be. One thing worries me though. As happy as I was to be home, there was a whole day were I just felt utterly depressed. I mean like, no feelings hardly at all. All I wanted to do was lie on the couch and do nothing all day, so I did. It made me sad, but the worst part is that it happens more and more often lately. That feeling popped a few times during the days of the week and I'm thankful that it did go away at one point but I know it's a matter of time before it happens again.

Aside from that, everything was great. Friday I got to see a few friends that I hadn't seen in a long time which was nice... and silly. Oh Chrissy, how you make me laugh. I had to come back for a short shift on Sunday, but Mom let me take the car down and then drive back to CR right after. I spent the day with Andy on Monday. We made dinner and he taught me World of Warcraft. I can see how it could be addicting... I had planned on staying over that night, but that was the night that my horrible feeling started to set in (ya, I realize it wasn't enitrely what we thought it was) and I ended up going home again. Tuesday I spent on the couch, Wednesday I did the same for most of the day and then went with Andy, Sean and Kali to see Ghost Rider. It was pretty lame, but it had it's moments. Entertaining but not amazing. Sean and Kali were drinking beer in the theatre and headed for McD's after the movie (which Sean loved) and Andy and I headed back to Trista's. We hung out for a while and then Sean showed up with more beer right about the same time I started having that feeling come back so I opted for heading home again. Thursday I took my class 5 road test and passed! So I now have my full license. Then later on Andy took me out for dinner to the Coachman and then we went back to watch a movie with my family.

Seeing the play tonight lifted my spirits quite a bit. Chillin' with Lisa in the lobby was good stuff and I wanted to spend some more time with the ladies at the top of the stairs (Maddie and Nikki) but the show started sooner than I thought it would. Good show guys! A lot of the time I was kinda trying to figure out what was going on, but by the time it reached the end I saw how it fit together. I think one of my favorite moments though was when Allen's character got shot. It just looked really cool with the fog and light effects. I was happy with the whole thing though.

So I guess the only thing I have left now is to hope that I go for the rest of the weekend without slipping into my empty feeling again. As long as I'm keeping myself busy then I should be ok, but I won't be able to tell until it happens. Debating on whether I should go and see someone about it before it happens again or if I should wait and see if I can't find a pattern in it.

I know I haven't really had much time to develop many lasting memories with people, but if you have an instance or two, it'd make me smile to have you tell them to me. Ya, I basically just jumped on another bandwagon. Fun times?


This is the new video from Finger Eleven and you really should watch it. I would have just put it in the video blog, but people are more likely to see it here. I am so additcted to this song and the CD doesn't come out until the 6th. I am going to buy it.
