I’ve found that twitter is not an effective way of expressing myself. The challenge of squeezing a thought into 140 characters is intriguing, but it does not yield sufficient results on the restoring my psyche front.

I have been trying to keep my head up when it comes to my studies, but it has definitely been a struggle. Keeping focused when I don’t really care a whole lot about something has always been difficult for me. This semester especially is difficult considering the success I’ve been having in things other than school and my relative mediocrity in school. I just feel much too old to be roaming the halls as an undergraduate, wading through the condescending teachers and ridiculous underclassmen trying so hard at this thing that was not originally meant to provide a person with employment. They don’t even care about expanding their knowledge. They care about getting the grades and getting out. University is specifically meant to be for teaching a student how to understand humanity and their place in the world. I have not seen that desire from many.

I love having a band with a bunch of guys I actually enjoy being around and not a bunch of douchebags trying to piggyback off of someone else and spring into some made up stardom that they thought up. I’ve been in those bands. They are all ignorant. Joe, Jordan, and Ryan are more than I could ever imagine in regards to bandmates. They actually care about this. And by this I don’t just mean the success of the band, I mean the music. I can see it moving them when we play it just as it moves me. The passion in my lyrics spills out to them and we all get lost and our feet leave the ground for a few precious moments. It matters.

I enjoy Regina Spektor wayyyyy too much. But you’ll just have to deal with it I suppose. :)

See, but I’m fantastic, so yeah haha (I don’t know how being fantastic has any bearing on this situation, but I’m gonna stick with it) Oh and by the way, I just woke up from a dream where I was in a house surrounded by zombies. they weren’t super aggresive surprisingly.
