“This past year has taught me that I’m allowed to want something and get it.”

And I’m not being shy about it.

Sitting in the Airport Terminal
Waiting for the plane that will take me to New York. I’ll be on a plane all night. I’m taking in all the good things in life. Listening to Giants postgame radio after going up 2-0 in the World Series. Talking to the coolest girl I’ve known in a long time. Talking to other friends and family.
Life is good. I know I haven’t been saying much here lately. But you know how...

Leaving...
Listening to Andrew Belle (Thanks lanibelle) on a rainy sunday night. I don’t know. I’m happy. I leave for New York thursday night. I have all these great plans with my friends and it is going to be a blast.
I was thinking about this year, how a lot of things sucked but from those sucky things came better things. You have material things like crashing my car but buying a better more...

Why I am not wearing purple today
It’s not because I hate LGBT’s. It’s not because I don’t own anything purple (though my purple shirt is pretty wrinkled and that is just not good taste). It’s not because I hate this campaign. It’s not because I feel like other suicides should be recognized as well.
I’m simply just not one who protests through wearing something. I think the breast cancer...

Thoughts on the Apple Event
Facetime for mac is sweet! I just tried it and it’s cool. I’m glad they’ve expanded it so I can call people who have macs and not just people who have an iPhone 4.
iLife 11 is awesome too. My family is about to go in on it and get updates to iPhoto, iMovie, and Garageband. All four members of my family use at least one of these applications pretty often, so it’s worth it...

Weekends
They are like your favorite food. You wait what seems like forever for a taste, you get that taste, and it feels like it’s gone before you even enjoyed it.
Seriously, I can’t even handle how fast my weekends disappear. It doesn’t help with all the stuff going on. Let’s recap, shall we:
School. Just a brutal semester (my first) at USF. It’s designed this way to...

I just thought about this moment...
It was a few months ago, a little after my mom had her breakdown. They had just gotten back from their vacation to Mexico, probably the high point of their year. This was a few weeks before I moved into my current apartment, which spots this at around July.
I picked them up from the airport and they were talking about how happy they were. I was smiling driving my new car, my family in tow. I...

The Millennial Generation and People Hating Us... →
Another bitch-fest toward the Millennial Generation (at least they stopped calling us Generation Y, right?) that is terribly misinformed and misguided.
Listen, I’m not your typical Millennial brat who is going to deny that we act entitled, spoiled, and arrogant. But not to this degree.
The article is idiotic from the start as he expresses shock that we would give up coffee over wifi. Maybe...

Judging
I look at people in two ways:
I either see them as a complete puzzle when I meet them. Usually based on the quick hit details they give me, such as: I go to college. I have a job. I live on my own. I love music. I am an artist of any kind. Etc.
Then as I get to know them more, pieces of the complete puzzle start to disappear. I start to see chips on their seemingly perfect armor. They become...
Dreams
Is it just me that has epic dreams and then wakes up only to want to go back into them?
Sometimes something weird will happen and I’ll want to go back into the dream to explain to everyone in the dream world why I was doing whatever weird thing I was doing. Sometimes I’ll want to go back to enjoy it. And sometimes I’ll want to go back to fix it.
But mostly, I just really...

Decisions
I am a person who likes options and likes taking the time to consider them. But there always comes a point when the work to keep those options available puts a strain on my life. That is the point when I examine everything and make a decision. In the past, the strain would push me to make a quick ill-formed decision even though I had spent so much time contemplating as it was.
What I find now is...

Studio - Day 1
I had my first day in the studio today to record my album “Bookmark EP”. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it ended up being the most chill experience I could hope for. I basically sat down with Kyle (producing and lending his various skills) and we jammed out “I Don’t Want To Lose The War” and laid down pretty much all the guitar. The song is so much...

Positives
I’m going to ignore sports (damn niners) and think of some other things:
I have been graced with some incredible album releases in the last week: Jimmy Eat World, Valencia, Bruno Mars, Sufjan Stevens, Aloe Blacc, Belle and Sebastian, etc.
I head into the studio tomorrow to record my songs. I had a great talk with a friend last night about my music and she really made me feel excited about...

It's Official
That weekend in LA changed my year. Things have been exponentially getting better since I hit the road for that weekend. It’s the equivalent to an interception TD that changes all the momentum of a game.
Just having fun, meeting great people, feeling confident and positive. It’s been a great change from the overall difficult year it has been for me and all those around me.
