Free Time Is Wonderful

This year is the year for laziness. It's senior year, and there is never a better time to kick back and relax slightly.  It's the greatest feeling ever.

But the thing about Senior year is all the responsibility that is placed on you're shoulders. All the college applications and the grades that you have to keep up so that you can go to the college of your dreams. Which is not where I will be going. I will be attending the Junior College of my dreams. I got no problem with that though because I get to go to San Diego. I spend more time there than in my home town because of water polo and volleyball, and I love it there.  There honestly is not another place I would rather be (other that Hawai'i and Japan, of course!)

Hopefully when I get my doctorate in English (or something like that) and I get to do what I love, writing, I will get the opportunity to travel the world and become one of those rich awesome grandpa that their grand kids brag about.  Ultimate life goal.

Peace, CA

Guess What Month It Is?

Oh, how I love the internet.  It gives us the greatest anything of everything that we could ever want.  We use the internet to make ourselves laugh, to console us in times of sadness, and to prove to ourselves that we are not some individual/insignificant person that will never make an impact on the world.

Not anymore.  The world needs your novel, and it's time to give it to them.

National Novel Writing Month is upon us, ladies and gents.  This month we are going to abandon all hope of a social life (or any kind of life for that matter) and put every ounce of strength we have into tapping away at the keyboard of your computer/laptop/tablet/what-have-you.  This month belongs to the go-getters, the up-all-nighters, and the crazy-coffee-lovers.  This month is your month, so know it while you have it.

You are marvelous.

Ready, Set, Write.

Its that time of year again.  Not Christmas or New Years, but National Novel Writing Month.  Its an amazing experience that is open to the entire world.  Writing an entire novel in 30 days is an impressive feat, and interacting with other novelists in places like the UK and India just gives you the feeling that you are never alone.  Ever.

Girls in Life

Anything for you, Beyonce!

Sorry dudes, but Beyonce was right....  girls run the world.  We guys have no say in what girls do, nor will we ever.  And we barely have a say in what we do as guys.  Women practically control our thoughts, emotions, and actions.  Sometimes, we're OK with being controlled, but not all the time.  I, for one, hate being used.  It's fucks with my self-confidence (which I find to be quite disrespectful), and is overall demoralizing.  I think the biggest problem with this (yes, problem, ladies) is that women and men try to constantly prove who is better when we all know that dogs are the best (kidding).

It obviously isn't our place to decide which is the better gender.  My opinion is out in the open, so feel free to contradict me.  I've got plenty of arguments, but I don't feel obligated to share.  It's too personal.

Music is Life

LOVE IT.

hate it.

For those of you that know me, then you know that my choices, moods, hell, my life in general is all affected by the music I'm listening to.  Metal when pissed, rap when pumped, country when calm, etc.(Shane knows.)

Lately, though, I've been trying out different online music programs, such as Pandora or Spotify.  I used to be a iTunes guy, playing the library and
getting bored as fuck.  Then I experimented with Pandora.  It was fun and interesting, and it introduced me to a lot of songs that I didn't know I liked.  This went on for quite some time, and I grew increasingly irritable when the good music that I had started with began to evolve into this shitty mix of stupid songs that just didn't satisfy my craving for the jams that I loved.

Story time.

This year I get to be a Teacher Aide to the chillest teacher in my school (or second chillest, I guess.)  Anywho, she is always playing music in her class, and she uses Spotify.  I had never heard of it but, after a few short days of playing DJ for the class, I learned of the awesomeness of this music player (I'm actually using it right now!) and downloaded it onto Google Chrome.  Now, I don't know how I survived without this gift from God.  Please, try it out.  I highly recommend it!
