Acadilemma

My academic situation this semester has been less than stellar. I'm pretty unimpressed with my overall performance, but I've only myself to blame for that.

Honestly, I should be spending a bit more time in the library, but my mind's been all over the place. There's a lot going on, and I tend to find myself taking a break from everything by doing ..other activities.. ..such as a bit of guitar playing or even a game of Warcraft 3 every once in a while (Yeah, I'm a nerd, absolutely..) ..

..but I mean.. it's all about pushing yourself.. I've just had an outrageously tough time making myself do much of anything academically related.. definitely not good..

It's not that I can't handle my classes.. its that I've found myself completely disinterested with them. True, this is common among numerous inviduals (See: Everyone...) .. but.. but.. I just feel like I'm ignoring what I truly aspire to do.. and I really think that I've got to change things up and shift my true aspirations into first gear.

It sounds easy, right? Just focus on what you wanna do, and it'll get you through... not quite in my case.. it's a risk, you know? .. but what's not a risk in this life?

I switched up my concentration from a Pre-Medical area to a Pre-Law focus in an attempt to at least put myself in a decent position academically.. you know, just in case I need that 'Plan B' everyone mentions here and there when they're unable to place their full faith into something..

I'll figure this all out eventually..

Truth Be Told

.. and I'll play until my fingers bleed ..
.. 'cause I've got super glue like SRV ..

No More Jam Bands

Ok.. so... I'm pretty much tired of the whole jam band craze.

This probably comes as a shock to many a people, because I've visted many of these concerts.. but.. I am not a true member of the jam base.

See.. I wanted to broaden my horizons a bit.. but I failed. Umphrey's McGee and moe. are the only jam bands I can truly stand.. the rest really, really annoy me.. Disco Biscuits especially.

I'm sorry if this hurts anyone's feelings, but I'm just being honest here.

Let the truth be heard:
I'm clean.. drugs are not a part of me, even though a lot of people say otherwise..

Seriously, guys.. I don't do drugs.

Is this why I fail to enjoy jam band concerts? Possibly..

See, I'm not saying these guys aren't skilled or anything.. just that I really can't get into three hour sets with twenty minute instrumental tangents. I have the attention span for it, they just fail to peak my interest.. or maybe the druggies and hippies freak me out? Maybe.

See.. when I attend a concert, I definitely expect a few solos here and there.. but not the entire show.. singing is pretty cool, too.. you know?

I really have no idea where I'm going with this.

Stevie Ray Vaughan is awesome.

Timeless Tracks

Timeless Track: A song that completely dissipates any feeling or realization of time.

So.. yeah.. I made that little definition up. I compiled a list of a few songs that truly extenuate this trait. (Side Note: These tracks also tend to bring memories of old back into view for me.. it's kind of neat being able to relate a song to a certain period in your life.. at least I think so.. and yes this side note also throws the definition off a bit.. but I find that they dissipate realization of the present.. very strange.. )

My Timeless Tracks:

"Thank You Friends" by Big Star
"Marquee Moon" by Television
"The Long Spring" by Explosions in the Sky (Also reminds me of the times I shared together with a certain person only a few years ago.. )
"OX4" by Ride
"Plush" by Stone Temple Pilots
"The Day I Tried to Live" by Soundgarden
"See You in the Next One (Have a Good Time)" by The Verve
"Wheel" by John Mayer
"Paper Boats" by Nada Surf
"Ram On" by Paul and Linda McCartney
"Nightswimming" by R.E.M.
"Hey" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Only in Dreams" by Weezer

I've come to the realization that most people don't tend to understand what I'm talking about.. and that's alright.. I'm a ramblin' man.

I think.. this is why I enjoy blogging.. it's nice throwing random ideas you have floating around onto something that also happens to be floating about.. except it's inside of the internet..

Sometimes I also reach the point where I have no idea what I'm babbling on about..

Potential

I think.. that.. the moment that you finally realize your potential.. is pretty frightening...

..but like.. in a good way.

Last.fm Status

I found something mildly interesting to post:



Whatever I listen to, you can listen to, too!

Not sure what to put here.. yet..
