heat heat heat

boy is it getting warm quickly.  its hard to notice when you work in an office 40 hrs a week but spending 8 hours outside yesterday at work (2nd job) really rubbed in just how hot it was.  when you break a sweat in a t-shirt at 8 am water plants - you know its hot (unless you just sweat easily).

have yet to see a summer movie- although i finally caught taken (thanks to alex).  hopefully i will get to see brothers bloom tonight.  my plan to do wii fit daily was foiled by a series of days where i was responsible for making dinner for the family, and yard work but i will do my best to get back on it.  started reading, but like mike, have  struggled to make much progress.  

people start moving into their apts soon and im excited to see this new chapter begin - despite the continual hohum-ing from my suite mates i think it will be miles better than living on campus.  

im going to keep pushing www.weloveyouso.com as it is a really amazing blog to check out.  other than that - hope all is well. stay cool.

i will leave you with a fact from my new app on my iphone (pause for eye rolling):

'minnows have teeth in their throat'.

shall we begin.

so i have been out of school for almost 1 week at this point and a bunch of things are happening.  i am on the eve of my first day of work at my new job at anesthesia services of PA (in delaware).  i am going to be working at my first job - Pete's Produce Farm which is less than 2 minutes from my house on saturdays from 8-7.  Hopefully the combined will provide me with a bit of cash.  2 weeks until official move in day of the new apartment.  Probably going to paint it, if allowed - any suggestions?

I have not been to the movies yet, despite the slew of films coming out weekly.  I was given a positive recommendation on Angels and Demons so whether its a great film is up in the air but better than davinci keeps getting thrown around.

hair is cut.  saw taken.  enjoying the wii fit.  going to start bike riding.  considering picking up skateboarding, again.  camping round 1 is over - no real pics...the major picture day found itself rained on (not to say we didnt still do what we planned..but cameras were hidden away to survive the storm).

i will try to do this posting thing more often - especially since ill be on a computer 40 hours a week

congrats to all the grads this year both high school and college.  hope all is well. 

also (and this is for me really) im very happy/excited that fox is renewing Dollhouse for another season, that show, once it got going really had alot to it and im glad theyr giving it more life.  cant wait for the DVD and the bonus ep - Epitaph One.

dinner time!

its about escaping

so this will be my final blog post...for a few days (fooled you..you being one of 3 people who reads this).  anyway...heading out to go camping with highschool friends for a few days.  pretty much 0 communication once we get there..so i will be cut off from the world and its one of the best parts of my year...i know i shouldnt argue how blissful it is to escape from the technological side of society for a few days since i indulge in facebook, always on instant messager, twitter, myspace, etc...but as much as i love those...days without them can be so refreshing.

anyway...by the time i return it will be the eve of so many friends graduations and to them and to everyone else this graduating this year - congratulations! and you will be missed around fordham.

finally - there are so many movies coming out this year..literally one a week for most of the summer, sometimes two in one weekend - but that is not where it ends..this fall promises to give us some incredible films - two of them were meant to come out last year but got delayed (hopefully for the better, although thats rare). both based on beloved books, one of our adult years and one of our childhood years - the road, and where the wild things are look to be absolutely brilliant.  the dudes who are working on WTWTA started a blog abotu 3 weeks ago with different bands, music vidoes, films, art that inspire them and in someway influence their work on WTWTA located at www.weloveyouso.com

the road, while nothing has been seen in a video format, - many stills have been released showing some pretty breathtaking locations/scenes.  the general description of the film/story is written as :Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don’t know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other.

are you not at all interested?

through the hurricane waters

despite that title seemingly being in reference to the rain today - i just have that citizen cope song in my head.  anywho - i was told i'm not updating this enough but shit is a bit crazy, although i did take yesterday off

haven't had a final yet - just things due, and now it all hits me and of course it is as everyone i live with is moving out for the summer - talk about poor motivation.

scrubs season finale was great, and the finales of the other million shows i watch are coming up fast.  i'm looking forward to summer but am disappointed to be leaving fordham for a few reasons - not because i love my living quarters or my classes or anything like that but because summer at fordham seems like something i would have liked to do.  additionally i have become friends with some people this year and some not until very recently who will be leaving this place for good in a number of days and even though i look forward to ending this semester that has felt vacant with the number of friends who went abroad - i cant help but second guess this wish because it is at the sacrifice of some people who i didn't have enough time to get to know.

come

so to everyone who is graduating - cheers!...back and visit - there will always be a place for you to sleep

back to work

'with a little help from my friends'

a change in tempo can change the meaning

i promised myself that this blog wouldn't get too introspective so as to not become another xanga or live journal account, but alas my thoughts are my thoughts and so this is what is on my mind:

there's a point in a storm where the rain ceases to fall and whether you are driving or standing still it is rarely something you can pinpoint or really take notice of.  when you finally do you may try to recall how long it has been since it has stopped.  this change can be more drastic when driving - suddenly your snapped into reality as your windshield wipers are squeaking across dry glass.  i think in some ways this can be likened to that of ones own childhood.  all of a sudden you are mid teens, entering high school, graduating college and you try to trace back where the final moments of your childhood occurred and how you missed it ending.  no matter how hard you may try you are an adult now and you cant even try to think, interpret or view things as you once did.  

in a way the movie baby geniuses had something in their whole "moment of crossing over" where the kids became parts of society - the walking, talking people of the world who forget what those early experiences really were and can never regain.

sorry for the nostalgia - i'll try to keep it to a minimum on here.  

'can you tell me how to get, how to get to sesame street'

good night all.

still registering for classes

not gonna dwell on the title - just couldnt think of one, and thats one thing thats currently going on with me.  i want to make a legit post soon, but right now i just wanted to get this online - reading through one of the many blogs i read  i came across a youtube video of a young seth rogen doing stand up - so if you have 10 minutes to kill - heres a link to a stand up comedy bit seth did when he was 13 in canada.

things break. most can be fixed.

so the title kinda represents my current state of mind.  yesterday was a pessimistic outing - but today...well im just keeping an open mind.  im not gonna list out the things that have seemed to backfire - suffice it to say there's been several.  even still - most of them can be resolved in some way or another.  but let's move on.

the end of the year is very rapidly approaching.  this confuses me.  mostly in the weather.  i feel like there was more than one week of classes where there was beautiful weather and people hanging out on eddies and frisbee at night.  this time around - well we have less than two weeks until the last day of classes and tomorrow it looks to finally hit 70 degrees.  it seems later than usual but maybe im wrong.

one week until spring weekend.  i need to dust off my plaid shorts and invest in some aviators, maybe even a visor or trucker hat (are they still cool) to prepare for an afternoon with guster.  this will be my first spring weekend concert - missed the past two years.  i think it could be a lot of fun, though.  

of those 25 new albums i have started listening to each individually after getting a taste of each by a giant 320 song shuffle.  i really like the Miniature Tigers album.  Mono goes back and forth from explosions in the sky to a movie score, if you like that sort of thing.  Great Lake Swimmers is nice and somber.  No real disappointments, but i find myself continually going back to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs album - It's Blitz.  

Ok - this thing is getting long - who knows if you are still reading  - if you are..wish me luck today...hoping the cost of repairs on my PA does not exceed two digits - if so..i might be officially broke.
