man oh man, its almost my 21st. i would start celebrating tonight, but i have a math test tomrrow which i’m gonna have to spend a few hours studying (which is unfortunate cause we have a pan of brownies laying around, and another 20….very tempting) but yeah, its just applied calculus, and our teacher isn’t that rough, so its not going to be mega applied calc, just some fairly easy stuff, so i’m not too worried, just gotta look over homework and stuff.

oh man, i had my parents bring up the rest of my super nintendo games last night, cause i wanted to get super mario bros. and mario all stars. playing super mario world last night just made me think about how much nintendo has revolutionized video games. i mean, with each of their systems (besides the gamecube) all the nintendo consoles have been realesed with a mario game, and that games just sets a new standard for the industry.nintedno comes out with super mario brothers, super nintendo comes out with super mario world, and nintendo 64 has mario 64. it kinda makes me wonder how the mario for the gamecube is goign to shape up, because really, it has some hard acts to follow…

but yeah, it snowed again today, just lightly dusting, but considering that its averaging about 20 degrees with windchill, its been pretty fuckin’ cold. cold enough to keep me from running yesterday and today anyways. its kinda nice to sub in dancing for a half hour as opposed to running for a half hour though, cause the way i dance, doing it for a half hour (to jubgle) is a pretty damn good workout.

i had a concert last night though, and i don’t really know what to think about it. we played three pieces, and two of them were allright, and the mozart was just boring. i mean, i didn’t even really like teh rimsky-korsakoff piece we played case all it was was 2 theme’s playted over and over again, with a couple of instrument solos in between. i hardly played half the time cause it was just too fast and i couldn’t keep up (i guess, cause i don’t practice). but yeah, it was just a real crowd pleaser cause it kept building until it was a frenzy at the end, and it ends on a sudden note, so its real high energy stuff. but it just kinda seemed gimicky to me…i think we’ve played better pieces in the past. i really liked the bizet we played (a couple of pieces from his opera Carmen) and i thought all of the 5 suites we played from it were really good (except the les toreadors, which is really over played). but yeah, it went well, i actually managed to play parts i couldn’t previously, and keep along at parts when i would normaly just say fuck it and use my position in the back to allow me to slide, and not do anything, but yeah, its all good

so yeah, i’m gonna go play super mario brothers I with jakub, rad

by the way, imood.com should have the mood SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD!!!

cause that’s how i’m feeling now

math…

man…i want the weekend to bem here again…jesus, i swear that i am in such a routine latley that i don’t even know how i slipped into it. i spend 10 to 4 at school everyday these days, and when i have an hour break between classes, i’ll always have some homework to do. and then i come home and chat with peopel for an hour or something, then i go for a run. i come back and workout and shit and stretch and then eat dinner. then i do more homework. i have homework or reading EVERY SINGLE DAY, and if i don’t do it, i fall behind, and in reality, i have wasted too much time retaking classes to fall behind more…

so in a sense, the halcyon days of college are gone, and now its studying all the time. i want the weekend to be here so i can do all the things taht i want to without the impedence of school or homework in teh way. i mean, if i had a job, i would just get drunk right now. at least after i spend 6 hours someplace, i shouldn’t have to come home and then do more work. i should be able to come home and get drunk and watch TV, or something. but my day in a sense is not over yet, cause i still have more stupid stupid work to do. i hate school. this quarter cannot end soon enough. math classes cannot end soon enough. everynight they give you 20 or so problems, and then they wan you to turn them in. in a given week of math i would say that i would have to do about 100 problems, and then take either a quiz or a test at the end of each week. jesus, in chem we’ll spend 2 weeks on a chapter and i’ll only have to do 30 problems, and not have to turn it in or anything. just one more quarter of math…fucked.

but yeah, the weekend was glorious, i mean, i just got drunk friday night, where me and mike owned a 4 liter jug of wine. then saturday it was beautiful so we played ulimate frisebee, and then decided to just go out and find someplace to camp. so we got hella trashed and made a huge fire. i mean, it was great.damn money, why does everything hae to be expensive? maybe i should just cut down on costs by growing my own food.

hmmm, this is interesting…this is the first blog that i have typed from a computerthat is not my ownin a looooong time, pretty much since i started it up at starflower. and this space bar is really crappy, so if there’s even more errors than usual, it might be cause i’m trying to keep the noise down, cause this space bar rocks back and forth. but yeah, anyways, i was just studying for a test i have in a few hours on-line (this guy posts practice exams with answer keys, and then uses about half the questions on the real tests) but since this doesn’t take any focus at all, i can listen to music with lyrics. and latley itsa been the pharcyde, bizzare ride II the pharcyde. and after really listening to all the lyrics of this album, i can almost say that this is the greatest hip hop album i’ve listened to (which i admit probably doesn’t cover a huge spectrum) but i mean, at least this is the album where you can tell these guys are having a blast with what they’re doing. the fact that you’re hearing these guys laughing and just being high and producing something, just makes you happy to listento it, cause you know that they’re just writing music and just doing it for the hell of it. i mean, their rhymes consist of hilarious topics like dealing with your friends mom coming on to you, and having sex with her, and then having your friend walk in on you (song title: oh shit) and having to go to the bathroom to jack off cause you don’t think you should wake up the girl you spent all last night banging (on the dl). they also have a song totally dedicatedto dissin’ ya mama. and of course, probably one of the best hip hop songs of all time called passin’ me by, which has pretty much been my anthem for the past few months. all the beats are tight too, and its very well produced. but yeha, i don’t understand why my listening cycle has changed so much latley. i mean, i still love techno music and what not, and i still regularly listen to it, but latley, our cd player int he living room always has hip hop, and whenever i go to school i bump hip hop. i’m always listenign to a tribe called quest, or jurrasic 5, or wyclef, or the fugees, or black star, or the roots, or slum village, or de la soul, or the pharcyde, or dialated peoples…and dre too (but i don’t necesarilly consider that hip hop, chronic 2001 is just really good, and one of thos memory filled cds)

but when i think about it more, i really know that i totally agree with ben these days in that its stupid to say that any music is bad. i mean, realistically, i can’t listen to eveythign at once, and different things pique my interest over time. it just comes down that you listento whatever you like, and you can like a whole lot of things, so its stupid to limit yourself by saying that you don’t listent to a whole genre of music. i mean, what’s the point of limiting yourself like that? if a country song you hear actually sounds pretty cool to you, and you connect with the lyrics or soemthing (even though they may be cheesy or whatever) you still enjoy listening to it. so why the hell shouldn’t you do so?

the greatest part is that there is so much music out there….and there’s always something new to find. thank god for the internet. if not for the internet, i would probably be limited to what the radio played. cause it would take alot of work to find bands that were similar to other bands, cause you would have to spend money on the cd, or find someone who had heard it. i guess it would make sense to be very specific of what kind of music you want ot listen to, cause you would have to pay 16 bucks a pop for a new cd. but jesus, now that you can get anything for free for very little effort, possibilities are endless to find great music.

well yeah, that’s enough preeching from me i suppose…i need to get back to studying and then its time for weekend….sweet weekend….
