so as i pulled in tonight from my long winter break excursion with my family, the parade welcomed me coming down wilson pike, leading all the way to my front door. it was quite a spectacle.... ok that really didn't happen but it kinda would have made the 15 hour drive back from long island a little less shitty. so i would just like to make a few notes about my trip, otherwise known as some forced family fun, hence the fff in the title of this post (tiedye should know all about this). so here are a few things that i have come up from my few days in the big apple, NYC:
1)so many Chinese people- ok so this really had not occur ed to me until this most recent trip to new york city. there are so many fucking chinese people. now i really dont have many things against them as an ethnicity. they might be rude sometimes, smell bad, or even rip me off at the local dry cleaner (you know who you are, bitch), but they do make excellent food. ok but besides those points, i noticed that there are just so many of them in the city. with them able to have as many babies as possible without restrictions like in the mother country, they will soon be able to take over the city. they kicked the jews out of the lower eastside, and they own many other shitty shops. this one lady even came into a pizzeria in little italy and tried to sell me copies of DVDs while i was at the table. crazy.
2)there is no need for a tripod in the middle of fucking new york city- ok so i am walking around new york city, trying to not look like a complete dbag, aka a tourist, and i see these fucks taking out tripods in the middle of times square to take a picture. first off, this is completely unnecessary due to the fact that as humans, we have two arms, which can hold a camera to take the photo. i really dont understand why people decide to take up half of the sidewalk to place the tripod out. and plus i bet it is a pain in the ass to carry it around the city all day. what losers.
so those are my main two thoughts that disturbed me a bit just while walking around the city. and for the record straight im not racist, referring to the first point, but there are soooo many asians its crazy. sorry.
other than that, the city was alot of fun. it was extremely clean and for the first time in a while i actually did not see any homeless people. so that was a positive not having to jump over puddles of their piss.
on another note: here is a new band called the gaslight anthem, and their song the 59 sound. and i like it. check it out
for now,
much love soccerball

i like dis
so i know this song is on the study playlist but i really do like it and i felt that i have to reiterate that. so here is the song, again, for the second, time, yes. four holy photos by hockey.
i like the harmonica in the song, its quality. but its rare that you would find that in a more modern band that kinda does techy pop stuff. very interesting.
"The song of four holy photos
They never look into their own eyes
Its the second closest you'll get"

this whole college thing is preetty different than my REAL home
yea yea yea i know it has been a while since ive blogged. once again, i will sincerely apologize to the fans and to tiedye for my abscence. life has been a little crazy recently and finally it has had a chance to calm down. for all of you who are curious ill give you a little rundown of what has gone down: BAMF weekend at the pledge retreat in gatlinburg, school kickin my ass, frat kickin my ass, school kickin my ass, frat kickin my ass, school kickin my ass, 239 and 6's, ratcourt night of hell, school kickin my ass, missed my ride home, got to see tiedye finally. that is pretty much a basic outline of my life and now that is in the past i will finally be able to live a semi normal life as a college student. you really have no idea how excited i am that pledging is over and i can resume a life. a life! can you believe it? believe it. well that is in the past and we can not dwell on it.
so now to what the actual post is about: how much life sucks and is boring at home compared to college. i mean there is always stuff going on at school, always somesort of party or an opportunity to have some fun. but back in the little bubble in which i have lived for almost 5 or 6 years now, life is pretty boring and not much goes on. the days of hanging out at sonic and getting the most delicious drink known to man (yes, its the slush), they just cant compare to a day in knox or athens.
so besides the fact that it is simply not as much fun at home than at college, on top of that is that i have to deal with a curfew, parents, and other parental figures that watch me like a hawk. like a hawk. i might have a handle of whiskey and a handle of vodka in my drawer, but where am i to drink it when i have a curfew? drink and drive home? what a silly thought! (hmmm). plus my mother, named pattie, well pattie likes to spend way too much time with me that i dont really care for. love the woman, but there is a time when she needs to let her little baby boy spread his wings and drink some drank. i literally spent all of my fallbreak at home and didnt do anything and i am itching to get back to school and has some sort of social life.
so that is pretty much all for my rant and rave of the night, ps. im really glad i got to see you this break. i guess you are pretty cool. maybe ill see you around sometime?
love always,
soccerUTball

hollabaaaaack new post!
first real legit post in almost a month... tiedye is OFFICIALLY back in the game! just saying.
so this post is basically dedicated to how enormously gay i am, and therefore what i like to do in college.
for one, i make it a point EVERY SINGLE DAY to check out this blog- definitely my new favorite one and possibly the greatest blog EVER. it can be found at todaysletters.com. check it oooouuuuttt. seriously the cutest thing i have ever read in my life. new obsession.
secondly, one of the things about college that makes me kinda sad is the fact that i don't have a DVR. shallow, yes. but i always miss my favorite shows! i literally never watch tv. this is such a shame- too much sleeping and partying and homeworking and facebook stalking.
speaking of fb stalking, its unbelievable how much time i spend on facebook these days. sure, i stalked a lot back in my high school days, but i have taken it to a whole new level in college. i probably spend a total of 2 solid hours a day on the book of face. that's disgusting. there are so many better things that i could be doing with my time... like working out. or doing homework. or eating. or... blogging?? yeah about that.
okay and now a few countdowns so we can all get EXCITED ABOUT LIFE. woohoo
3 DAYS UNTIL I AM IN ST SIMON'S ISLAND FOR GA/FLA WEEKEND!!!!! mini spring break? aka shitty allllll weekend? hell yes. hell YES.
19 DAYS UNTIL I AM REUNITED WITH MY MAGGIE (again) IN AUBURN, ALABAMAAAAAAAA!!!! yeeeee this will be my third time there this semester. always sooo much fun. can't wait
24 DAYS UNTIL I COME HOME FOR THANKSGIVING!!!!!! this is the lamest, but GREATEST countdown of them all. there are seriously so many thing on my to do list for when i come home and i have a whole week to do them!!!! these things include:
1. SONIC. i miss this place. soccerball?
2. mazatlan ohh EVERYDAY with winn. so many great memories at this place. tears!?!? just kidding. joke, don't hate me.
3. my family's tailgate at vandy. good fucking times.
4. PARTY PARTY PARTY with high school people. weird, but it must be done.
5. spend EVERY minute not at sonic, maz, or partying, with my sweet baby brother that i miss so much. HOLLA.
and that's pretty much it for now, blogstars.
he's gone...

yes, im sorry, its been a while. ive missed you too.
dear blogger, and tiedye,
yes, i realize that it has been a while and i do sincerely apologize for my tardiness when it comes to blogging. my life has been swamped since my last post, i have been busy with school stuff...such as classes and whatever the academic part of school is.... and soccer, and all the frattyness that comes with being a fratstar.
ill fill everyone in on a little bit of everthing that has been happening in my life:
school: i go to the majority of my classes with the exception of my 8am psych class on tuesdays and thursdays which i do not attend but still manage to pass all the tests. who knew. other than that, classes are whatevs....they suck
soccer: yea its cool
frattyness: so this is where is spend 99% of time. everyday cleaning at six, sometimes attending 239's and 6's, bringing the morning paper, running beeper. all to be a brother. this shit sucks. pledging is not a joke and it literally is a shitty time but us pledges find ways to mix things up. why not get drunk before going to the "basement"? why not get naked on the back porch for the morning picture? why not steal brooms and shoes from sae and sigma chi? why not is what i ask? sucking the balls during study hours in the library while reading poems to random girls. i will post more about this frattyness soon because i could talk about this shit for days.
until then,
for the brothers,
soccerball
ps. cant wait to see you tiedye

they are as follows:
october 2- parents weekend!!! denise and chris will be making appearances. it's unfortunate the left out little bro wont be joining them though...

october 16- homecoming!! YAYYYYY this is gonna be a good weekend. nough said
october 23- hittin the ATL with my friend julia (where she's from) for fall shopping and general tomfoolery. should be a blasty
october 30- aka fall break aka GREATEST WEEKEND OF MY LIFE. this is the date of the georgia/florida game and though i won't be going to the game, i will be going to st. simon's island for a mini spring break full of nothing but PARTYING. time to get shatty
november 6- winn is COMING TO VISIT (possibly) can't even describe my excitement for this weekend. ONLY A MONTH AWWAAAAYYYYYY
november 13- back to auburn (for the third time) for the uga/auburn game. granted, we WILL get our asses beat by the tigers. but it still should be fun because me and bff maggie will be reunited for the third time this semester :)
november 18- LEAVE FOR HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FOR THANKSGIVING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not happy about this at all...
...so i have a lot to look forward to. that's pretty much it for the next 8 weekends.

bitch PLEASE. its my blog
ok so i've been meaning to blog for a while now, seeing as no one has hit up the blog since my bday (but that blog post was magical, i have to admit). i have decided to blog about something that is extremely close to my heart- food, of course. i have a lot of it in my room, and i believe i owe it to the goodies in my room to talk about them a little bit and explain why they will soon be eaten by me. here we go...
1. flip-side crackers
these things are half cracker, half pretzel. 100 fucking delish. i seriously love these things. ansley bought some last week and we ran out quickly thanks to the drunk munchies. so on my walmart run yesterday i got some more. top 10 best decisions i've made in college so far
2. bottles of water
water is good. it hydrates you. nough said.
3. diet coke
okay so if i didn't have 10 fucking cavities i would be drinking this shit all day every day. but the fact of the matter is i do have 10 cavities, and apparently diet coke is "bad" for you or something. which means i have to limit my intake to 2 diet cokes a week. so ansley drinks most of them. but they are just comforting to see in my fridge :)
4. capri sun
mmmmmmmmmmmm. think back to those soccer games back in elementary school (come on soccer ball, you can participate in this part) and remember those moms that brought snacks for after the games. capri sun was a big part of the post-game meal! pacific cooler is my personal favorite flavor. soooo damn good
5. ramen noodles
a college must. i don't eat them, but they are cheap and fun to buy and i feel like a poor adult. which i am, so i feel ramen is appropriate. oh and my roommate eats them. so yeah.
6. mac and cheese
i devour this stuff. IT SO GOOD. forrealz there are some days where i have no time to make it to the dining hall or i'm just way too lazy to walk 50 feet downstairs. so i eat processed cheese. and lots of it
7. goldfish!!
my personal favorite kind is the half flavor blasted half pretzel kind. i could eat those fishes all day. perfect for snacking.
8. iced cookies
my mommy brought them to me for my birthday!! the people that love me actually give me birthday presents...hmmm.....
9. m&ms and skittles
because everyone loves candy. once again, not good for the cavities, but i don't care. sometimes i'm in a skittle mood (rare) and sometimes i'm in an m&m mood (every second of every day) the green ones are the best, obviously.
10. nutri grain bars
on tuesdays and thursdays there is no time for breakfast. that means a breakfast bar is necessary. nom nom nom
11. cookie dough
ansley bought this when she was sick... can't say i like raw cookie dough. i prefer eating actually cookies
12. a pretty cupcake with sprinkles on it
because once again, the people that love me get me birthday gifts (thanks, ans!!)
that's my pantry/fridge in a nutshell. if any of those foods sound good, feel free to come to room 816 and snag something. even if you're all the way in knoxville...
until next time... eat well, blogstars (that means you soccerball)
love love love,

the world according to alex
does anyone else feel like college is the SHIT?? also, everyone at UGA says so and so is "the shit". not like i don't use that phrase myself, but enough is enough. what happened to saying something was cool??
so something made me a little mad/nostalgic this week. a little thing called facebook. unless you are a caveman that lives under a rock and cannot speak english, you know what that thing is. IT RUINS LIVES. there are multiple pictures on there of the class of 2011 (fucking lame) SITTING IN THE SENIOR COURTYARD. WHAT THE HELL?! come on now. like yall are real seniors.
here is what i have to say about that:
YOU ARE STILL FUCKING JUNIORS. just accept it. i refuse to accept that they are the new seniors. and there are pictures of them at football games! WHAAAAAAAT NO! i miss the friday night lights so much.
because let's get real for a second. high school was the shit. i loved every single second of it. and i would go back in a second if i could. but at the same time, i wouldn't.
IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING SICK OF ME TALKING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL VS. COLLEGE?! okay i am.
so instead, i will talk about this.
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
so...yeah.
dunzo for now,
tiedye :-)
so something made me a little mad/nostalgic this week. a little thing called facebook. unless you are a caveman that lives under a rock and cannot speak english, you know what that thing is. IT RUINS LIVES. there are multiple pictures on there of the class of 2011 (fucking lame) SITTING IN THE SENIOR COURTYARD. WHAT THE HELL?! come on now. like yall are real seniors.

i like this
so this is a little band that my roommate chris introduced to me. they are called the movement. this particular song is called set sail. we jammed out to this going to the nascar race the other day in bristol. i would suggest checking out some of the other songs because they are equally delicious (habit and green girl).
for another post possibly later tonight on a truly american experience, please read again soon.

thought for the day
hello blog, i know, its been a while. there is this thing called college though and its pretty freakin sweet. i wasnt sure if i would like it but its pretty much the shit. im actually in between classes now, all alone in my dorm so ill hit you with a blog. since im going to get freaky with my mac i might as well make this post good. (that last sentence is kinda weird so all you followers, please forgive me). very well then. for a while now ive had this thought about music. if anyone knows me, some moreso than others, they should be aware that i am always listening to tunes and i love all different kinds of music. what i have noticed lately is that whenever i listen to a song there is always a personal emotion or memory that is associated with the song. it doesnt matter what kind of song, who the artist is or anything like that. there is always a memory of when i was listening to it and it reminds of all the people in my life. ill give you some examples just so you can have some evidence that im not completely nuts when it comes to this. a few songs of different genres: here we go%!!%!
hit me with a text: jason derulo- reminds me of alex pastina. it makes me miss her alot and it reminds me of all the fun times we had this summer. and all those freaky texts...
lucky town: bruce springsteen- this is such an old song but it came out when i was born. it was my favorite bruce song as a kid and i always remember listening it in the car with my dad. the cd was lost for such a long time but i recently found it and i was so glad to get some of those memories back
you shook me all night long: AC/DC- there was this kid who rode my bus back in middle school and i think even in elementary school. this kid was-not gonna lie- weird as fuck and messed up. he lived outside of our neighborhood and was probably not on the same economic level as most of the kids on the bus. nonetheless, we kinda became bus friends, hanging out while playing cards on the bus. he definately had a different taste of music than me- i didnt know about acdc and the offspring until he told me about them. but for my bday he got me the back in black ablum. ill never forget your curtis.
so yea. those are just a few examples of what comes to my mind when i listen to music. i could probably go through my entire music library and tell you about a time i listened to it or about a person that comes to mind when i listen to it, i think music is very powerful and can be very emotional and often therapeutic. i challenge all readers of this blog ( ok so only tiedye) to see if you can have the same thoughts that i have. maybe im just crazy but thats it for now.
toodles,
skype sometime tiedye?

college....whaaaat?!
ok folks, so as many of you may know (and by many of you i mean soccer ball, who is the only one that reads this blog)
I AM IN COLLEGE NOWWWWWWW! and i have all of these crazy mixed emotions that i do not know what to do with.
first off, i miss everyone from back home SO FREAKIN MUCH. i cannot even put it into words. mostly i miss my little brother. and i really don't like being away from soccer ball. but overall, im so freaked out because of sorority rush. ITS CRAZY. what if nobody wants me?!! scary as hell, but i'm trying not to think about it too much. enough of that. more tomorrow because tomorrow is BID DAYYYYYY!!!
in other news, tomorrow is also the first day of class!! shit. how the hell am i gonna be able to find all the places i need to go?! im way too afraid to ride the buses because there are so many routes and i wont know where to get off. but im guessing with some practice i will figure it out.
so here are my emotions in a nutshell:
scared as hell
excited beyond belief
ready to make new friends...
BUT
i wish soccerball was here more than anything. i miss him waaaay too much.
until i'm a sorority sister,
peace out.

i like this
so as i was aimlessly sitting at the skatepark at the brentwood ymca located on concord road, i came upon a few wonderful songs on pandora. DROID told me that these songs were played by a band called blues traveler. from what i understand they are a band that was popular in the 90's-this according to pattie who said she used to clean the house with rich while rocking out to their music....gross. am i about to reveal two videos of these songs live. why live you might ask? ofcourse you asked this question. well, you see, i enjoy posting videos that are live in order to show the true essence if the band. all the little quirks and stage movements that sometimes make artists who they are. it separates the difference between performers and those who...cant. i call them just musicians. people who sit in an orchestra with no ability to express themselves. in summation, i enjoy performers.
ok here weeee go:
both songs are off of an album called "four". it had a picture of a funky kitty on the front. i found it in rich's cd collection in the basement.
first song- "hook". i love the harmonica in the song, for some reason i really like the sound of the instrument.
"suck it in suck it in suck it in"
song numba 2- "run around" - im pretty sure most people have heard this song atleast once in their life, it somehow turns up on the radio station or in a random movie every once in a while. so here it is. i enjoy this song too.
i hope all enjoy,
miss you tie dye,

mobile blog
First off. The sun is a bitch. I'm sitting outside of the big business tycoon in cool springs commonly known as chueys. As I wait for a table. Generally for a taco and rice this should be about thirty seconds. But why do I wait an hour for this cuisine? I'm really not sure and that is why I'm rethinking my decision over a blogpost. Plus this is so damn hard to type cause its on my phone.
So here is what I want to know. What makes people want to wait excessove amounts of time for overpriced food? If anyone knows please let me know so I can follow up with another post.
For now mis amigos,

tie dye actually likes something "cool"!
FOR THE RECORD, i loved soccerball's most recent post on the avett brothers. and i'm being honest when i say this- i reallly really like them! i actually watched ALL of both videos (shocking, i know) and found that they honestly don't suck that much. good work soccerball! i knew you'd actually get me to like one of those videos one day.
now here's a link to a video i like! (okay i can't figure out how to post a video, work with me here)

If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
so these guys are from concord north carolina... kinda where im from so i felt the need to share them to the world... even though they are famous and on the radio all the time. check em out breh. and tyedye, please watch the whole video this time. its not that long.
check out 2:45 on the first video. amazing. its called the perfect space.
this song is called head full of doubt road full of promise. if your name is tye dye then you can skip to about 2:10 where the song actually starts playing.

condoms not ymca kids
dear blogletes, blogstars, blogettes, and even you, the bloggay-
i have come to a conclusion today: condoms are less annoying that a child that goes to the ymca. i had the revelation while sitting at the baby pool stand while life guarding today. with the sunscreen burning my eye and the 100 degree temps frying my skin into a lovely, dark, skin tone, i realized that kids suck. kids who cant swim suck even more, but kids suck.
why would a kid try and dive into a walking entry pool? i have absolutely no idea. so when i told the kid not to dive into the pool again he said he did not do it and that he had no idea what he was talking about. so to test him, i encouraged him to show me what he had done previously. so what did the munchkin do? he dove in again. so then... i scolded the kid and he told me i was mean and then his counselor took him out of the pool for timeout.
in summary- i wish kids would just pop out of the womb and instantly go to college and then come out with a high paying job to take care of me. this whole growing up this might just be a little too much for me right now.
hence why condoms are the choice to make. or else you will have a ymca kid.
to all the parents out there that have ymca kids. at least make sure they dont shit in the pool. cause thats just nasty.
cpr with an 11 year old girl,

tshabala- a nations hero
going in order from most important days in my year it goes a little something like this: 1) world cup opening games 2) Christmas 3) birthday. and the fact that my number one day was yesterday, i am quite excited to say the least. and actually in a couple hours there will be even more excitement (ofcourse i will tell you about this later).
so today- the 2010 fifa world cup began in south africa. with the home team having not lost in the opening game for the last 19ish world cups, south africa had a huge test going against mexico, a team ranked much higher in the world rankings. so pretty much the game was slow to begin with... south africa came out and played not too well... not passing much which gave mexico tons of chances early on in which they obviously could not cash in on.
halftime 0-0.
ok then the game continued and suddenly SA was a brand new team... passing the ball around nicely and actually having attacking chances... occasionally testing the all-white mexican keeper.
54th minute. tshabalala strikes.
a breakdown of the mexican leaves tshabalala a chance to rip a shot from about 10 yards out into the upper right hand corner of the goal. brilliant in my opinion, led by an entertaining celebration by a few of the south african players. (number 8 is tshabalala in the picture above)
ok the rest of the game was kinda bad because i dont like mexico and they ended up scoring.
second game of the day:
France vs Uruguay
ended in a tie 0-0.
the game was in all honesty, not that exciting. despite the incredible talent on the field they all seemed to lack a chemistry with one another, leading to only a few chances the entire game with relatively sloppy play.
in summation: today was riveting and action-packed from start to finish. not really, i pretty much layed in bed all day and watched soccer. life is good.
for now,
soccerball
ps. possible world cup post tomorrow!! another exciting day. many games to watch including a reenactment of the revolutionary war.

fly through my window
talent.
dictionary.com defines it as a special natural ability or attitude.
talent is a funny thing. first of all- does everyone have a talent? because sometimes it seems like talented people have MANY talents, and untalented people have none at all. how the hell is this fair?! in my perfect world, everyone would have one incredible talent- something they were better at than anyone else. now i do believe that everyone is really really good at something, whether they were born with this talent or learned it by practicing. but how long does it take to spot this talent? for example, some kids figure out what they're good at right away, and get to work practicing it even more until it becomes second nature to them. other people may not figure out what they are truly talented at until middle age, or even after that. i also believe that our talents make us special, and, if possible, we should use our talents to better our lives and the lives of the people around us. clearly not everyone does this- but when most people figure out that they're good at something- they run with it! (and they should)
ok here's my point. i feel like im gonna be one of those people that doesn't discover my talent until age 70+. or maybe i'm one of those RARE cases where i have ZERO talent for anything! ( i don't think that's the case, clearly i'm pretty good at rambling. maybe i should be a writer. on second thought, good writers don't ramble. scratch that idea) basically what i'm trying to say is, everyone is good at something. right? i think so. but to be honest, i'm not really good at much. i'm mediocre at some stuff, but i have little talent for anything important. i think i should make it my goal in life to find something i'm truly good at and run with it. for the greater good, of course. and to show off.
this is the very un-talented tie dye saying“I have no particular talent. I am merely inquisitive.” (okay einstein said that. but it got me thinking. maybe i need to ask more questions....)

concerts of summer 20X
since one of the blogstars decided to blog about the grea.....horrible movies that are coming out during the wonderful season which we have come to know as summer, i have decided to inform the public of the music scene. or at least the concerts which i will be attending during my days off. a tad bit of traveling will be involved, but i assure you that these shows will be worth it. so here is the current lineup that i would like to go to. disclaimer: i have not actually bought these tickets, but i plan to in the very near future.
Dave Matthews Band:
6/18 or 6/19 Noblesvlle, Indiana
7/21 Charlotte, NC
7/27 Atlanta, Georgia
yes, i realize that this might be a lot of money and a lot of Dave. but it is going to be completely worth it. TRUST me.
just take a little peeky poo.
Old 97s:
July 21 2010 – Bluebird Nightclub – Bloomington, IN
this band is simply brilliant. gotta love them.
one of my favorite songs: and this s live so its not the best quality but it look like a fun show
World Party:
if i could somehow find a way out to san fran then i would like to see them. very interesting group. hard to explain the sound of their music but i like it and thats all that matters really. here they are back in the day :
so right now those are a few shows that i would like to go to... whenever i save up the money to buy the tickets... gas... hotel room...food... and everything else. its gonna be a fun summer.
ps. i enjoy posting videos to explain things. get used to it.
peace- soccerball
sex, harry potter, and of course- a few vampires
ok so i would like to take this time to point out that i love the movies. (random, i know) but movies are the shit. basically everything i've ever wanted to happen to me goes down in the following three movies that haven't come out yet BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE! seriously, 2010 is rampant with awesome movies.
here are the big three:
sex and the city 2 (YAY for sequels!!) comes out- MAY 27!!!!
so i want the clothes off carrie's back. she's so hot
drumroll for the next one......
ECLIPSE (third twilight movie) comes out- JUNE 30
ok so i admit it's ridiculously stupid to be so obsessed with vampires. but i swear IM NOT! seriously. vamps are stupid and i don't read these books because i like them... i sorta read these books because i LOVE werewolves. or at least the ones in twilight. honestly. tell me this guy isn't smoking hot-
if you don't agree with me on this one, then i feel bad for you
and last BUT NOT LEAST!
HARRY FREAKING POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS! comes out- sometime this fall
there's the foxy cast. can't wait to see the end
so 2010 is looking pretty good for movies.
and in the words of the bucknastys- this shits about to get crazy.
:-) tiedye

who the hell is "tie dye"?
OK first off, i am extremely confused at who this mysterious person is that keeps on bitching at me to post something on this fascinating blog entitled "land of hope and dreams". and yes, i have been slacking off lately and just posting videos (not that they aren't entertaining). but in all seriousness, its about time that i shared my opinion. to stick with the present theme, i will talk about graduation and such, and just a couple of things from high school that should be interesting to read about for all those blog stalkers... cough...keegan Patrick... cough... Anna mcdermott (in my dream)... cough... Kendall tarpley (?????. anyways-here goes nothing:
well... for me to get all sentimental and reflective i am not going to lie... i enlisted some of my good friends (Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, john hiatt, bob Dylan, billy Joel) to set the background mood as i write this wonderful essay.
and the play list goes something like this:
1) cry love - john hiatt
2) stay or leave - dave matthews
3) wrecking ball- bruce springsteen
4) newpie twerkin it- bucknastys (aka dmg)
for real now. the whole grauating thing kinda hit me during spring break. and it has slowly trickled down into the mixed emotions that i have now. i was laying in bed... both in Atlanta and in new orleans... thinking that this college thing is for real and that im going to be doing the college thing soon... whether or not im ready for it. i would say that im ready for it though. im ready to have some more freedom from my prison envrinoment which i call my house. im ready to meet some new people, maybe explore the world ( or i guess just knoxville). but im not gonna lie... im going to miss high school. of course, not the classwork or the waking up... that sucks. im going to miss the people, my friends, teammates, and the familiar environment.
soccer stuff- whenever my season and career ends i know it will be tough to swallow. i have been playing since 3... but seriously since elementary school. it has been a huge part of my life. most of my friends are teammates and i love spending time with them-on and off the field. all of my coaches have impacted me and i cant thank them enough for helping to grow into the player and perosn that i am now. i hope to continue playing in college, but i know it will not be the same. and that is what is so tough for me, is to know that i have so much passion still left to play but that it might not able to be used. all i know is that the soccer chapter of my life will be coming to a close soon, which is a sign that im growing up.
friends- its weird to think about the friends i have made in the world. some far, some near, some i know that i will never see again. growing up in north carolina, that is (was) my life and it will always be there. some of those friends i stay in contact with, but its difficult, and i know its not the same that it used to be. some of you, i will never talk to again. ill always have the memories to carry with me, even if you arent around to share them with. but for some of you, its more difficult to think about. you know who you are (i would rather not say names). the way we have drifted apart if further than i could have ever imagined. i dont know how it happened exactly but that is how it is now. and i dont think that there is any way to change it, but who knows what the future has in store from us. ok since i am tired of typing i will save my new friends in brentwood for a post closer to graduation, i definately have not forgotten about you guys.
ok well thats about it for now. but in summary: with graduation comes the closing of a bunch of chapters in my life.
but ps. i like this:
stay fly,

well... for me to get all sentimental and reflective i am not going to lie... i enlisted some of my good friends (Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, john hiatt, bob Dylan, billy Joel) to set the background mood as i write this wonderful essay.
and the play list goes something like this:
1) cry love - john hiatt
2) stay or leave - dave matthews
3) wrecking ball- bruce springsteen
4) newpie twerkin it- bucknastys (aka dmg)

finally back! (at least 1/2 of this blog team is)
for all the blog stalkers out there (and i know there are SO many of you!) just for your information:
this isn't just MY blog. it's SOMEONE else's too...but he hasn't been pulling his weight lately. and i guess i haven't really either. so enough laziness! here's whats going on in my life lately. (and, of course, how i feel about it all)
yesterday was baccalaureate (spelling??) and it was actually a really cool service. minus the fact that those damn blue graduation gowns are SO freaking HOT. but robby painter gave an awesome address and thomas leathers was definitely working it in the choir. but the weirdest part of it all was just looking around at everyone in the grade and realizing that one week from now we are all going to be completely finished with high school. after the summer ends, we will all go off in different directions to different schools-and things will never be the same again. i have never felt such mixed feels about an event in my whole life.
-on one hand, graduating is the greatest thing. you get showered with gifts and sweet cards from people you've never said more than 2 words to. graduation brings the end of getting up every morning at the ass crack of dawn to go to a place you are forced to spend 7 hours in, 5 days a week. it means its FINALLY time for college-supposedly some of the best four years of your life. im excited about all these things. but most of all...
-graduation sucks. this is embarrassing, but i'm crying writing this post. it was honestly hard to come up with good things about graduation-but it's not really the graduating part, it's the leaving part. brentwood is my home. i've never known anyplace else. i really do love it here, but most of all-im comfortable here. i know where everything is and where everyone lives. losing that level of comfort is going to be really hard for me. but at the same time, i think being too comfortable is a bad thing. which is why i know it's time for me to leave and experience a place outside my comfort zone.
on top of all of this, clearly it's going to be extremely hard to leave behind the people that i care about. don't get me wrong, i cannot wait to meet new people and make new friends! but what about the old people? the ones that i count on right now- the people that i love and cant imagine living away from. the truth is that its uncommon to keep in touch with good friends with the people you knew in high school- and i'm not too naive to believe otherwise. but why the hell does it have to be this way?! i don't want to lose touch with these people (you know who you are). that's probably the reason for the tears. right now, i promise to do the absolute BEST i can to continue my friendships with everyone i love when i go to college. and even after that.
-so i worry about losing my friends, but i hardly ever worry about losing my family. but recently i've been thinking about this. i love my parents and will miss them, but i can't wait to be on my own. i'm talking about my little brother. i'm pretty sure the thought of not being a part of his life makes me the most emotional...luke and i got really close this year. hes 15 and im 18- and the age gap doesn't seem big to me at all anymore. we think the same way, and so i respect his opinion and he respects mine. and i want to watch him grow up. it kills me that i'm gonna have to be 5 hours away from him as he goes through high school. :-( im going to miss our car rides to school and goofy inside jokes, his stupid stories and our mutual love for sonic happy hour. luke, if you ever stumble (haha) on this blog at some point in your life, know that i love you with all of my heart and i've always got your back. you can count on that.
ok, i interrupt this (long) post to apologize for getting all mushy and emotional. but if you can't express your true feelings on a blog- where can you say them!?
that was pretty deep, so that's enough writing for now. soccer ball, its your turn. and no video posts! i wanna know what's going on inside that strawberry blond head of yours.
this is tie dye saying "happy graduation!" :-) ? or :-( ?

the end of lacrosse
so last night, the brentwood girls lacrosse team lost their quarter final playoff game against harpeth hall. the hardest part to stomach? the fact that the score was 19 to 6. yeahhhh....not so close.
as this season comes to an end, i reflect on my final season of lacrosse EVER. some of the best moments of this season include:
1. our HUGE win against ravenwood- a team that we have never beaten..until this year! we didn't even need to go into overtime :-)
2. enjoying all the privilages of being a senior. senior night was awesome and i never had to pick up balls or get the goals (that's what freshmen are for!)
3. i scored against harpeth hall TWICE! and although we lost both of those games against harpeth hall (see above stats) i'm not exactly the scoring type- so the chances of this happening was pretty damn rare
4. our win against franklin in our first play-in game. we lost to them in overtime in the regular season, so it felt good to kick their asses the second time around. (so 7-6 isn't exactly kicking their asses, but we still won!)
5. my secret sister gifts! hallie was the BEST secret sister, and she gave me tons of candy, spiderman socks, paddle ball, a dart gun, and sunglasses, among other things.
6. just being around all the girls on the team. shoutouts go to hope (the coolest and only freshman on varsity), hallie (basically the person i wanna spend the rest of my lfie with), cicily (remember the time you scored probably 80 percent of our goals?? yeah me too. thanks!!), kellie (for catching draws one handed! and helping me make fun of hal), and of course the rest of the seniors. magz, keegan, kendall, and lauren- i love you all. these past four seasons have been beyond incredible.
7. did i mention WE HAD A WINNING SEASON?! thats right. the brentwood girls lacrosse club went 12-5 this year. 12 and 5!!!!!!!!!! we have NEVER HAD A WINNING SEASON IN BGLC HISTORY UNTIL THIS YEAR. must have been that great senior leadership.
soooooooooooooo
the fact that i will never set foot on a lacrosse field again as a brentwood high school bruin is admittedly upsetting, but more exciting than anything. for example, now i have all of my afternoons free. what am i gonna do with my time!? here are a few options:
-hit the study room at the library to prepare for my AP exams (not alone of course, although i am 18 and if there was ever a situation in which i had to spend the night there, i would be classified as alone. and then locked in a study room.)
-read a book. actually finish the 5 books i've already started and never gotten around to reading...
-get ready for college, save my money. (haha get real)
-this is the most likely option- hit sonic happy hour with my bro every afternoon, chill, and then sit on my lazy ass watching tv shows i've recorded from the night before. sounds like the best plan to me.
until next time bloggers,
peace out.

in brentwood, when it rains, it floods. and i start thinking...
so i was sitting outside on my screened in porch today, trying to get some studying done. then a few things happened all at once. talk about crazy!
-first, the rain started coming down sideways. hard. and i started to get wet- no bueno.
-then, my mom came in saying we had no school and the ap gov test would be rescheduled. so my studying has been for nothing. (but thanks for a good time yesterday, bwood library!! i do love wall-e and the possibilty of sleeping in a locked study room!)
-finally, i realized my mom was making me a bbq chicken pizza (which is my favorite). so that and the prospect of not doing anything tomorrow made this blogger a happy camper. :-)
-so i wiped the rain off my face and closed my sopping wet study book and headed inside, only to find that all surgeries at the hospital will be cancelled for tomorrow at the vanderbilt children's hospital. that's extremely sad. i hope everyone can wait another day before getting cut open.
-here's my final delimma: what should i do the rest of today and tomorrow?!? there are so many options. here are a few of them. (man i sure do like lists)
1. be a productive student and actually study. or read wuthering heights- which i no longer have in my possession but spark notes is just a click away!
2. bake. (this is most likely going to happen regardless of whatever else i decide to do)
3. go outside and sing in the rain. but it's really pouring, and my singing voice is not meant to be heard outside the shower. :-/
4. play some piano. hahah like this is going to happen. my whole family would be walking around with headphones on.
5. this is my favorite option. VENTURE OUT INTO THE FLOOD. call me crazy, but i can't stay at this house all day. and im pretty much a huge badass. unlike someone i know that wont even sneak out of his house to hit taco bell...
so those are my options. the only one i left out was swimming. i heard a horrible rumor that there may be snakes in the water- and those slimy bitches are not my friends.
land of hope and dreams? more like land of floods and downpours. if you haven't invested in a rainjacket, now may be the time to think about getting one.
until next time...stay dry!

when it rains, it pours
out here in the swamps of brentwood, the rains falls. drip, drip, drip... lightning!!! oh no!! no one knows when the rain will stop. it just falls. drip, drip. in the early morning of May the second of two thousand and ten, the siren jolted my weary head from the comfort and support of my pillow. what could it be? a Japanese invasion?? no of course not. my mind racing against itself, i could only think of one thing. tornado?! possibly. but i was still unaware of the situation that was all around me. i sprang to my feet and began to run. and i ran. where the heck was i running to? to? where to is not the question at hand. what am i running from? the fears that my hopes and desires will never come true? am i running from the water? which at any moment in time can swallow my life within the depths of the flood? i, myself am unable to answer this. only time will tell.
signing off, for now.
signing off, for now.

The Beginning of the Blog
This blog was inspired by this song by the great Bruce Springsteen. So enjoy it. And meet us in the land of hope and dreams...
Land of Hope and Dreams
Grab your ticket and your suitcase
Thunder's rolling down the tracks
You don't know where you're goin'
But you know you won't be back
Darlin' if you're weary
Lay your head upon my chest
We'll take what we can carry
And we'll leave the rest
Big Wheels rolling through fields
Where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams
I will provide for you
And I'll stand by your side
You'll need a good companion for
This part of the ride
Leave behind your sorrows
Let this day be the last
Tomorrow there'll be sunshine
And all this darkness past
Big wheels roll through fields
Where sunlight streams
Meet me in a land of hope and dreams
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This Train
Carries whores and gamblers
This Train
Carries lost souls
This Train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This Train
Faith will be rewarded
This Train
Hear the steel wheels singin'
This Train
Bells of freedom ringin'
This Train
Carries broken-hearted
This Train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This Train
Carries fools and kings
This Train
All aboard
This Train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This Train
Faith will be rewarded
This Train
Hear the steel wheels singin'
This Train
Bells of freedom ringin'
