Young man the control is in your hands

So this is probably going to be a long rambling post and if you actually make it through let me know and you'll get a prize. That said let's begin. I bought the Matis..whatever cd Youth, and I think it was Phillip that said a while back that everyone should listen to it and I wholeheartedly agree. If you know me then you know I'm not a Christian (I just really can't see the point of it) but hopefully you know that I still believe in a creator and all that good stuff. The reason I bring this up is that Matisyahu (I just Goggled his name) is the first "religious" artist that I've been able to listen to and connect with. The way he talks is the way that I feel about a lot of things; it's not about him ramming his beliefs down anybodies throat, he's just saying that you should live a good life and be grateful for what you have. As I've matured in the last year I've really found myself and what I believe. I don't think that you have to subscribe to everyday Chritianity to be a good person in life. Hell you don't even have to believe in God (because really what is the point of belief if you only believe out of fear?) to make it to "heaven" whatever that ends up being. All you have to do is try. Try to be a good person, try to do the right thing every time, and try not to hurt other people. The reason I say try rather than do is the fact that no matter what at some point you're going to fail. You're going to be weak and screw up, but that doesn't damn you for the rest of your life. As long as you can admit your mistakes, try to fix what you fucked up, and do your best not to make the same mistake then your golden. If we didn't get second chances then I would be damned to hell about 5 times over just from stuff in the past year. I don't regret what I've done because all of my experiences have taught me about life, showed how much I stand to lose, let me see where rock bottom was, and I learned that I'm strong enough to get up and keep going each day when it seems like there was no reason to bother. And because of everything I've found what I believe and I've found out who I am for the most part. Somtimes you have to fall so you can pick yourself up of the floor as a better person. Like I said at the begining I don't think this was very coherant but maybe you got the gist. Spend this life searching for yourself because you have the next one to find God.

Judgement

Umm so I thought I would review 3 cd's that I think you people need to go out and buy...but I'll be objective


The Raconteurs: Broken Boy Soldiers


If you like the White Stripes and you've always wondered what they would sound like with a full band and a little bit more depth in the drums then the Raconteurs are for you. Their first single "Steady as she Goes" is a pretty good song, but the deeper cuts on the album far surpass the radio hit. Jack White's skill on guitar really shows in this album and all and all it's a very solid record.


Wolfmother: Wolfmother


Jimmy Paige's guitar and Robert Plant's vocals more your style? Then Wolfmother is the record I would invest in. Granted they sound like they could just be playing covers of lesser known Zepplin songs, but it's a good cd to crank up and drive around too. This album contains some of the best guitar work I've heard come out of any young artists in a long time, and the lead singer does have a very good voice. There's not a single track on the album that I felt inclineded to skip, and due to the fact that you can get the cd for $8 at Best Buy there really is no reason not to go get this album.


Blondie: Live


It's Blondie...it's live...and it has Atomic on there. You do the math. Pick it up for $2 at FYE. If you don't then you really are an idiot.

I'm lookin in on the good life

Alright so if you read the last post before I deleted it then good for you. If not then here is a newer "nicer" one. I hate my job (only a little bit) when I get bitched at for other peoples fuck ups...I don't mind taking responsibility for my screw ups but it's starting to get a little annoying. Life has been ok the last couple of days...Mark and I caught fireflies and talked about things. Like I said before talking to Mark is the best because he is the first person that has ever just let me talk...and it was nice. He didn't jump in with explinations or his opinions or how it all related back to him....he just listened and when I was through told me what he thought. I honestly didn't know it was possible to be this in love with somebody...everyday he shows me a new reason to love him...omg that was sickeningly cheesy...feel free to throw rotten fruit at me. I went to Erin's house on Monday night and had a pretty good time, and then last night was Trivia/Bowling night with Mark and his friends...it was fun as always. That's just about it....it's less than 2 months before I get to move back to Statesboro.

Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.

Sometimes a person decides to tell you something deeply personal that has nothing to immediately do with either one of you. It's at these moments when you realize what trust really is. Not a whole lot has been going on, and due to that I've been doing a lot of thinking...and if you know at all then you probably can guess what all I've been thinking about. I really was glad that Friday night went as well as it did because I've really missed certain aspects of the old days...but then again it also reminded me of things I didn't miss. By the was if you think it's funny to pretend to be someone your not you are sorely mistaken. It's just pathetic. I saw Heather on Tuesday and that was nice...I really do miss getting to hang out with her all of the time. She invited us to her birthday in July so that should be rather fun. I picked up a prostitute by the name of Greg Johnson last night when I was leaving the mall. Greg is one great trick [;)] Other than that life is dull. Oh yeah I have to wait another two weeks before I get my first pay check...I'm starting to get a little pissed.

She said her daddy had dreams but he drank them away

So my dear friend Hilary is home and it was so wonderful to see her yesterday. I've really missed her while she was in New York. She had a shin dig at her house last night and I honestly was a little apprehensive about going. However I'm glad that I did. I got to see Jessie the girl for the first time this summer and it was great to catch up, and some of us ended up hanging together outside just like we did in the old days. It was really nice. Sure as it got later it wasn't a great (people began to leave) but the fact is I had a really good time. Some people have their same problems but at this point they really aren't my concern and I've decided after testing the waters last night I don't really need to worry about keeping my distance as much as I was, and I can't put into words how glad that makes me. I know we're never going to all be how we used to (I wouldn't want that) but at least we can be better than we have been.

Baby I'm bad news

So the last few days...action packed. I've worked everyday so far this week and today and yesterday were my days off. However that didn't stop the fun. I stayed at Mark's on Wednesday and I made me miss waking up with him even more. Fast forward to Friday which involved packing up my parents, moving Mark and his mom into their new place, and a sticky situation that landed me without a car because Mark was driving it. After work I got coffee with Greg, Woody, and Mark, and it was nice to get to chill and talk to Greg. After that Lucy, Melissa, Corey, and Mark crashed at my place and we had us a little shindig. I spent Saturday night playing monopoly with drunks, and last night Mark and I went on a date (I'll get to that in a minute)
Saturday restored my faith in my old friends...or at least some of them. They proved that they were as mature as I gave them credit for (at least one of them) and that was kinda what I needed to restore my faith in people.
Last night Mark and I went to see the Break-Up thinking it would be a funny and somewhat tolerable romantic comedy b/c of Vince Vaughn. We were wrong. It was okay but it really wasn't that funny; or interesting at all. However there is one point were Vince Vaughn realizes his mistakes and tries to apologize to Jennifer Anniston and tell her that he loves her. If you want to see this movie don't read any further. Aniston tells him that she doesn't feel the same anymore and that she has nothing left to give. Then this little kid in the audience with us said "But he said he's sorry!" That comment made want to cry. Wouldn't it be great if a simple heartfelt I'm sorry could fix everything? Wouldn't it be nice if we were still that innocent?
