Bands, Bands, Bands...
Weekend came and went yet again. The individual days seem long, but the weeks feel short; I feel like I am skipping from weekend to weekend. I always feel like "Wow, I'm already over hump day, and tomorrow is already Friday!" By the way, I love that phrase "hump day." I just picture random people on the streets humping each other... Saturday was awesome, I missed a banquet for work, and thought that was that for the night, but then my friend and I randomly decided to go see a concert at the whole in Coffman. It was amazing, the three bands were so impressive. Half of the people there I knew from back home or high school; I felt like it was a fucking reunion. I doubt anyone reads this, I mean if I was someone else I wouldn't want to read about me either. But if for some odd reason or miracle from god someone does in deed land upon this blog, check out "daybreak"; "Cicero"; and "Shoreline." Daybreak has great vocals and sounds very well put together; Cicero has a unique sound to them and incorportate a lot of creativity; and Shoreline are fantastic performers, especially their lead singer, he's fucking incredable, and the band as a whole has good onstage chemisty. The funnest part was simply doing something so spontaneous; I thrive off spontaniety, hence, with work and school everything feels planned out to the very week/day/hour.
After the show, my friend Drew and I watched "Good Will Hunting," and afterwards I swear it made me want to go read a book. While we were watching the movie I was laying in my bed and I gave Drew one of my friend's pillow to use it to lay on the floor. Well after the movie he was going to put it back and was like "Wait a minute, what the-" "Is this a heated pillow...with a battery pack or something?" Then he pulled out a big, blue, textured "thing"...The funniest part was that for the first 20 seconds we weren't quite sure what it was. We both were rolling on the floor laughing. I literally could not fall asleep because every 10 seconds I would end up cracking up!
This weekend a good friend I have known since jr high is coming up to go job hunting with me. I was looking online and they had some appealing "work abroad" type programs. I would love to travel to Europe again. I would hate to take the road overly taken and go to London or Barcelona like a lot of college students, but there are a lot of opportunities in those locations. India or Africa would be amazing too. Before I ever even think about settling down, I want to have traveled and researched and be well educated as to have the ability to pass the knowledge and experience on. I just really want to get away, there is not much holding me back right now (other than my work.) When you are younger and live with your family you live for your parents, and when you get married you will live for your spouse, and when you have children you will live for them...Which means that right now in college is the only time in your life when you live for you...That is a fairly powerful statement if you think about it. It justifies my selfishness that's for sure...In terms of upcoming opportunities of traveling or internships or work this is the first time in my life I could actually get up and go without a second thought.
I can smell summer and I cannot wait...the first thing I am doing when school gets out is driving up to my cabin, taking my boat out and going fishing. I think I owe some of my best summer memories that that cabin. It helps that my bestfriends cabin is on the same lake and the mere fact that it is gorgeous up there. I want to work a lot this summer, but alotting time for trips to the lake is a must.
