"We Hail Thee Carolina..."

If somebody can comment on this and finish the rest of the USC alma mater I will be sooooo excited!

So far I have:

-Went running this morning

-Moved into my dorm

-Helped Kathryn (Katie/Gooba) into her dorm

-Met one of my roomies (the other 2 are MIA right now...)

-Hung out with some cool RT people last night, which was a blast

-Got to sleep in and enjoy my "first dorm meal"...which was cereal by the way

-Met Kathryn's roomie again and watched her unpack

-Then, after being "kicked out" by Kathryn had to walk all the way back to West Quad.....in the rain...

But other than the last one, things are going good. I've tried to make some new friends and I made a couple new ones last night. Also, I got a few phone numbers from some girls and one has texted me back so we gotta see what happens. Right now I'm just enjoying being new to all of this and just chatting up people I meet. Tonight is First Night Carolina where we go to Russell House and they take us to some random location. My best bet was going to be Williams Brice Stadium but....it's raining! Games in the rain are fun but I really don't want to get wet on my first weekend here. But hey, I'm game for almost anything really

Song of the day: "Still Fly"-Devil Wears Prada (yes, it's screamo but is sooo good for when you go running in the morning)

Life...

Life can be a funny thing sometimes. Here I sit in my room at 11:17 at night alone after wasting more than 4 hours of my life playing on Facebook and watching Matrix movies when I should have been spending time with my mother who I'll be leaving in two days to move downtown. I can't help but feel like I let her down tonight since I wasted my time and energy with petty things like TV and my laptop when I have such a chance for quality time with her. My family is something that I profess to be really important to me yet I let the most important member of it just sit alone. Now, there are two kids in my family, but I am one and should've realized that I was wasting my time. Now, I feel like a jerk for pushing my own mother to the side...I know this seems way too low for me right now but I just can't feel right about all of it right now. I just wish I could rewind time for a bit and have spent some time with her. I talked to her for a bit tonight but I still feel like I let her down...I guess I should realize that tonight was one night, but tomorrow is a new day....

In other news, I have officially put in my "notice" for Vintage Marketing. My Dad is frustrated with me because he believes that I am "selling myself short" and "running because I got my hand slapped". I really think that my reason for leaving is that both he and his business partner would be better served by someone who had more time and energy to put into the company. That, and I really feel like I haven't done what I can to make there ventures successful; thus, taking away from everything they have put into their lives. I've cost them a lot of time and headaches spent on my problems so I think it's time to move on. While the financial drop may be a bit significant to start, I feel like I can balance it all out with smart planning and saving my money

Song of the day: "Heartless"-The Fray

(PS: Go check the video for this song out! You will not be dissapointed!)

It's been one week...

....since I blogged! Well, almost a week but to be honest, I don't know if anyone is really reading these anymore :(

I'm not into blogging for fame and fortune, but more or less to express what I'm feeling and let the world know and offer their input. I just hope that somebody starts reading and commenting soon because I'm debating slowing down more with blogging since I'm not getting any love. So, if you guys want me to keep this going give me a shout-out or something!

Thanks!

Funny People

So, last night I went with a group of people I work with to go see Funny People. Here are my thoughts

• The movie dragged...a lot. It was funny in some parts but since it dragged some parts lost their "spunk"
• There was a lot of depression and sad themes in the movie which aren't what a lot of the audience people have in mind when they go see a movie called "Funny People"
• The language...it's crazy how much stuff is in there. But, in true comedic form, it's hilarious and if you know most comedians the content of their sketches will be what it normally is
• Did I mention it dragged? You think you're close to the end and then it keeps going and going....the final scene almost makes you think that it's about to start back up and you're like, "NO!!!"

Overall grade on a scale of 10: 8

Now, I would love to give any Adam Sandler flick a 10 or higher, but I just can't for this movie! It was really funny and I laughed at a lot of the parts in the movie but other parts made me go "END THIS MOVIE!!" So, I would reccomend seeing it if you love Adam Sandler and also like Seth Rogen (who, btw, absolutely made up for Knocked Up with this movie)

Funny story though, walking up to go buy my ticket I was carded at the front door by the lady. Apparently I don't look old enough to get into a rated R movie...aka: I don't look like I'm even 17

Song of the day: "Your Song"-Mayday Parade

Life after you... (and a new book?)

(a really really really great Daughtry song fyi)

But the past week or so have been ones of peace even though some of the world around me is going into chaos. I sometimes wonder why I'm so at peace but I realize it comes from being with God and letting him take over everything and not worrying too much about things from your end. I'm enjoying being at peace and not letting the worries of this world get to me like they have to others

Lately I've been on a mass Mayday Parade binge it's insane. I'm listening to their album and their EP over and over again and I LOVE IT! I thought their EP wouldn't be as good but I was wrong! My new favorite song by them is One Man Drinking Games (it was I'd Hate To Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About) and it's because it's quiet but it gets heavier and heavier in true Mayday fashion. Also, this binge is just making me want to go see them in Charlotte even more

Oh, I'm debating getting back into book writing! I started to write a book based off a 28 Weeks Later scenario but I lost the file that had about 30 pages worth and I was very sad :(.... So, I'm thinking of picking it back up and seeing where it goes from there
