For the past few days (2 or 3 days or so) every time I wake up, I've been experiencing this very odd forgetfulness. Including naps, every time I've woken up there's this brief 30 seconds to a minute where I just can't remember what day it is, what I'm supposed to be doing... it's weird.
Every morning I'm home for the day I have to take courtney to the bus stop.. but this morning she came in to wake me up and I just stared at her. She was like "why are you looking at me like that?".. the reality of it was that I couldn't remember what day it was, or why she was dressed for school... I kept thinking, is it the weekend? Am I late for school?
Every morning for a few days now it's been a similar thing.
I don't know, just an odd thing I felt like tossing out there.

Wet Hot American Summer
I have big plans for this Summer.
I feel as though I sort of missed out on what could have been a great summer last year. I started college far to early, which admittedly, probably in the end was the better call but in a few ways I still regret it. I don't know.. I just feel like I let a few people down last year because what could have been an awesome eventful summer was sort of lacking because I was stuck in school the majority of it.
This year.. I really really reeeeaaaally don't want to go summer quarter.. however from what I hear, if I don't go I will lose my "tuition lock-in".. which means the cost of everything will go up quite a bit.. and that's bad time. Ironically, from what I hear.. Summer Quarter is even cheaper because it's during summer... so, I don't know. I think what I may do is take like 2 online courses.. but during the second session of the summer quarter. (The online courses are split up between 5 weeks each.) Which, theoretically.. will give me a good 2 months of so of summer before I even have to think about school, then when I am taking classes I won't even have to worry about traveling out there. Sounds good on paper but I'm going to have to look into it. They may throw some bullshit at me about a minimum number of courses or some shit.
Anyway, yes, big plans for this summer.
I think I'm going to start a little fund ASAP for stuff this summer. I have no idea what I'm gonna do.. but I have a few ideas.
One thing is I have to visit my Dad in his new location of Virginia... for the past few years I've been bringing someone with me but this year I may just go myself. Not that I really want to.. but I don't think it would be as entertaining because I believe there isn't as much to do as there was when they lived in Jersey.
But also.. I just want to go somewhere I've never been before. I want to maybe go to a concert in Ohio, or go to a beach I've never been to before. Travel with a large groups of friends.... or just one special someone. Honestly.. I don't want one trip.. I want multiple ones. Ok, I may be shootin to high... but I'm not fuckin around here.
I want to live this summer.

I don't want to be a DirecTV salesman
So today at work this woman comes in for food. As I wait on her we start to talk about her son looking for colleges and stuff which led to me telling her that I go to AIP for Graphic Design. Coincidentally her husband also went to college for Graphic Design some years ago. This was nice because lately I've been feeling kind of down about school because I just don't know where this is going to end up.
Anyway, out of curiosity I asked her what he does for a job.. what kind of career he got with his degree.. and she goes..
"Oh, absolutely nothing. He sells satillite TV for DirecTV."
Hmm... great.

March of Me
So lately I've been watching a lot of Scrubs. The main reason for this is because I may have sort of downloaded 4 entire seasons of it. Soon to be 5. Sooo, naturally I would be watching a great deal of it.
Anyway, as I watched episode after episode I noticed one very important fact:
A very large credit to the show being amazing is because of the narratives and the flashbacks. Throughout the course of each episode, J.D narrates more or less everything that is occuring in his life. This I believe made the show alot more interesting because it furthers the insight of what is happening and leaves room for much more humorous dialog.
So it got me thinking... would my life be alot more interesting if I narrated everything happening to me? And I don't mean just in my head.. I'm talking disembodied voice from beyond recollecting everything happening at that moment while adding little tidbits of extra thought and humor thrown in.
Man that would be so cool.
Better yet, instead of me being the narrating voice, why not Mr. Morgan Fucking Freeman himself. Yeah, yeah, you heard me. Fuck the penguins. It's march of me.
In all seriousness.. wouldn't your very own personal narrating voice add just that little extra spice into your life? I think so.

Tattoo Mumbo Jumbo
So, I'm listening to Finger Eleven's new album (the leaked version, anyway) and on the contrary of what everyone on their forum is saying, I love it. All the forum people are doing is bitching about how it's different.. oh well, get the fuck over it.
It is interesting though to hear what a band you've been following for the past 5 years of your life has changed. And I've yet to be disappointed. It's kind of stupid.. but this band has almost become a part of me. Lame, I know.. but it's like, these guys were what I went to basically during any moment in my life during High school and beyond. Sure, there are many bands I love.. but none of the others I like I can listen to like I can listen to Finger Eleven. There isn't a single song that I skip.. each one makes me think, each one gives me a good feeling when I listen to it. more or less, whatever the mood I'm in.. shitty, contemplative, happy.. whatever, I can relate that mood to at least one song by them.
Ok, this entry will eventually get to a point.
I've been wanting a tattoo for quite some time, but I am very very veryyyy picky about it. I've had a few ideas.. but one in particular sticks out in my mind.
(not the text on the top, just the symbol.)
What do you think? Perhaps on the right arm?
I don't know.. you see, every time I mentioned it I got some sort of negative reaction. I explained it as more or less representing my High School life.. which, is a bit of a dumb way to describe it, but it does sum it up without having to go on and on. My point to saying it that way was just that all throughout High School.. no matter what happened, this band was what I went to. As I said.. they have more or less become a part of me.
THAT is what I think a tattoo should be. A part of you. Some chunk of your life that had meaning. That symbol has a lot of meaning to it for me because every time I see it I think of all these events that happened that centered around that band. I could go on forever naming moments, honestly.
I guess I was alittle shy at first to explain what i wanted and why.. mainly because I diddn't think it through well enough and diddn't want it to sound pointless, but now I have and I feel pretty confident. HOWEVER.. I'm not going to do something so drastic without some input. I need to know what other peoples reactions to it, ya know?
i have other pretty sweet ideas for some maybe in the future. I need something to represent my dorkiness/love for computers. Love for art/graphic design. Something sweet like that. I had some sweet ideas I came up with and what someone has given me, but yeah, super picky am I.

Do or Die
Sometimes I feel far to average to ever even fathom making it successfully in a Graphic Design career. You can have all the grades you want, without skill you won't get far. Sure, you can always build skill, that IS what I'm going to school for after all, but in the rough tough world of art.. you don't get a job that skims you by. You get it or you don't. I don't know if I'm ready for such a cruel outlook and such a gamble. Do I have the determination for such a thing? Or do I just throw myself to the wolves and hope they leave alive enough to function.
On similar note, I got my invite to put something in to Ringgold's Art Exhibit, which I'm totally psyched about. I definitely want to, but what to put in? It's not like I have anything... so I guess I have to pump out something awesome in a month. That's the thing about going to art school... you put all your time into class projects and exercises, that your to burned out to do anything that is enjoyable. But I'm not about to let Mrs. Rob or Mrs. Don down. =)
