chasing the promised land,

soccerball

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,

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.

setting sail,

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?

love, sokaball

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.

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,

soccer ball
