Hey guys...
So...
How ya been?
I've been doing well, thanks for asking...
Yeah I know I haven't written in a while but right now I should be writing a 10 page research paper so I figured it would be a perfect time to start writing about everything that's happened in the last month or so. And at different times I've had almost half a mind to give a lot of these events their own post but I've just never motivated myself to do it... So sorry.
Starting with the most recent thing, I was kinda home in RI last weekend, I flew in Friday night and left Sunday evening... saw the fam and a lot of Abbey people at breakfast which was nice, me and Claire grabbed lunch a titio's and caught up which was nice. And no offense but that all paled in comparison to my Saturday. Now on Saturday my dad and I went to the World Series to watch the New York Mets play the Kanas City Royals. Now if you know me, you know I'm a die hard Mets fan (Read: glutton for punishment) and watching them blow a one run lead in the eighth inning to go down three to one in the World Series kinda sucked, but leading up to a bases clearing double by Ben Zobris in the 8th inning I had one of the most amazing days of my life. Now this was one of the things I wanted to give a post to. A lot of my friends don't really understand my love for sports, they either don't play sports or don't follow them or for what ever reason just don't have the affinity for sports that I do. When my dad and I watch the Mets, or the Jets, or the Knicks, but especially the Mets, there is a generational bridge and compradore among fans. Meeting other fans at the Stadium that night and just becoming friends because we were both wearing blue and orange. Being a sports fan and watching your team succeed is just a such a great feeling. It's like watching people you know have a good performance, but it's also a competition, and there were 175 competitions all leading up to that. You've seen them struggle and over come obstacles and it's a journey unlike any other I'd say. So yeah, it was a big deal for me and something I will remember and treasure for a long, long time. This is up there with Everything or Nothing playing their first show and the births of my brothers that will hold a place in my head forever.
Besides that awesome weekend, I've been working, and doing school work, and trying to write a second EP for Everything or Nothing. We are going into studio in December and I just write down lines and couplets when ever something pops into my head. I have a wacky writing style but C does most of it so I try to keep what I do fairly organized. Started writing in a little black journal, just lyrics and daily musings, I've fallen behind that too though... Guess I am too busy with SCHOOL WORK, or not, I don't know, whatever. I got my acoustic guitar down at school so that's nice to have now. Learned "Get Low" and "Hotline Bling" last night which was a fun little experiment. Besides that my SSIR (Sophomore Scholars in Residence) group that's taking me to Cuba in January is getting closer and we've been hanging out a lot more which is nice to, that could be adding to me not writing. Its gotten to the point where I'm texting some of them more than my peeps back home, which didn't happen very much last year. But it's nice in a way I guess. I still probably do a little too much thinking in my free time, about the future, fantasies and nightmares and just mental wanderings that distract me from living in the moment. I've gotten the new State Champs Album and T Shirt which are both amazing as well as a CD burner so that all my Bruce Springsteen and pop-punk CDs are now on my phone and computer.
I registered for my spring semester classes on Tuesday. That means I am 3/8 of the way through college and that's kinda insane to think about. Again, thinking about the future is very cool but I'm not sure I wanna move that quickly, but at the same time I do. Ah the troubles and trepidations of youth.. Oh and I'm taking bass lessons next semester too so that will be fun, a full 4 months of fun right there. College is so weird, you're living but your not, it's a strange balance between surviving from one deadline to another and enjoying each day for what it can offer. I myself feel like I get lost in the shuffle of the first option a little too much, so I'm trying to work on that.
So yeah...
Nice filling you guys in,
Any questions, concerns or basic bothering notes feel free to tell my secretary
Jk... just text me, let's talk, it's been too long
See y'all on November 19th (the 29th the latest (for real we need to hangout))
