moon shadows strike the wall
parental monitored beer pong playing resides in memory banks;
fireworks explode.

fireworks? were they bright, colorful, loud, fun??

well, they were:

• as bright as her smile
  
• as colorful as our conversation
  
• as loud as my heartbeat
  

and yes... fun.

i'm glad i didn't sleep through the fireworks

things change in 25 days.

only 25 days?

oh, the things that have changed.

--------------

remember when you found out that i had one of these and didn't tell you?

...remember when we talked?

...neither do it

-------------------

simon and garfunkel were meant for vinyl. so was iron & wine. and sufjan stevens. and lots of other artists i'm sure. there's just something about warm, crisp, guitar strums that excite me. it's like i've illegally downloaded some un-released version of a song and am listening to it on my father's work laptop late at night. or maybe it's more like they're playing me a personal show in my bedroom. 

either would be cool.

"yeah, but that's just money" - owner of Record Town, new personal hero

"don't you think they look a lot alike?"

"yeah, he is pretty narcissistic though."

so true.

i like christmas trees a lot. they're not holiday trees. they are christmas trees. HOWEVER, it is not Christmas at TCU, it is Holidays at TCU.

"we're a Christian school"

Yes, I'm aware but we give money to all sorts of organizations: jewish, muslim, etc. (hell, even Catholic) It would be a slap in the face if we decided to hold a campus wide event for all students but referred to it as Christmas.

"so..."

So, the student government should not exclude any demographic of the student body.

"we're a christian school- what... are we suppose to change our name?

No, we're suppose to be open and affirming just like the christian leaders who founded this school. We're suppose to have holidays at TCU, and have something for everyone: christmas tree, menorha, kwansa, etc.

Why does that not make sense to anyone else?

gooney golf soon?

sufjan stevens, can anyone be you besides you?

let me know.

-----------------

college just started. no, not for this year, but for me.

i think my grades will finally reflect myself (bad to the bone, baby).

-------

who wants my business card? who wants to lose their scholarship?! haha...i apparently do.

--------------------------

whatever i end up doing in life i have to do it for me. i can't be happy and work for someone else, i can't be happy and wish i was doing something else. once i get out of school i refuse to fall in to the "this is only temporary" mindset or the "oh, i'll do this until something better comes along".  

so basically starting my own company is the only option.

also, i really want to avoid the, "oh, i'll just marry this girl" mindset. but, no promises. especially with me being related to my sister and all. oh yeah, and having a girlfriend since sophomore year of high school. what i would give to be a man whore, what i would give!

------------------------------------

luckily no one else can be sufjan stevens.

luckily no one else can be me.

i often like to sit and reflect on jason mraz.

"we had sex, but if you want my professional opinion, that boy is gayer than a handbag full of rainbows."

...not that that's a bad thing.
