Don't Let Me Fall

I've been thinking,
It's a little crazy to me that I'm gonna be done with yet another year of college very, very soon. I have 7 more days of school and then another 3 days till my finals start. I'll be honest about the fact that I don't like school. In reality, I'm taking class to get a degree to do a job I probably wouldn't wanna do. At least that's what I used to think. I know that sounds depressing, but there's another way to think about it. As this year comes to a close, I know my last 2 years of college are even more important than the first two. By this time, I need to have more of a bearing on where I'm headed and what I'm going to be doing at the end of those 2 years.

Instead of thinking about how I might hate the job I'm gonna be doing, I should be striving to get to a job I'll love doing. If I'm gonna be waking every day getting paid for actually doing something, I should find something worthwhile. Of course, getting there will probably mean I'll have to work at a job I don't like first, but you can't get to the top quickly unless you're extremely lucky. So for me, it has to be part hard work and part luck, and I consider myself to be very lucky thus far.

Besides that, I just wanna say that I hope the Lakers get completely Durantulized in their next game.

That is all,

Love In Technicolor

I just watched the new episode of Glee.

I hated it.

I might be alone in saying this, but for those of you who watch the show or have seen the last episode read on. If you don't watch or you haven't seen it and don't want it spoiled, then skip this next paragraph.

First of all, I know all the episodes have themes, but I feel like this one was so forced, and it was just a really lame way to move the story forward. Rachel was being really annoying, and in general all the romance stuff was just bothering me so much. The songs were okay, I only REALLY liked Hello, Goodbye. But other than that, forced theme, forced drama, and anything that's forced like that is just terrible. It was agonizing for me to get through, and for a premiere, it just made me not want to watch the next episode, even though I'm going to.

On a different note, For anyone who reads this and has a Twitter, if you please took the time to tweet, "#AmericaWants @TWLOHA" I'd really appreciate it. They're trying to be featured in USA Today to get more attention to the non profit work that they do which is "a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide."

Lastly, I got my copy of Jesse Barrera's Love in Technicolor. I highly recommend you pick it up, I am very much enjoying it. Also, I'm listed as an executive producer, and I think that's pretty sweet, so go get a copy!

The Air I Breathe

I'm pretty sure nobody ever reads this, and I know I pretty much just disappeared, but there' s a lot to say.

First, in case you're wondering where I've been and what I've been doing, once again I just started playing video games and doing work. For the record, I've gotten 2 B's and an A- on my last 3 papers so games aren't hurting my grades, just my social life.

I've actually had 2 really good weekends in a row. On one, I met AJ Rafael who is definitely one of my idols. He signed 2 shirts for me and my guitar as well. But the thing that really made that night was the fact that I got on stage to sing with him. Needless to say, I was incredibly happy to meet and sing with him.

On top of that, I met a ton of new people that night and got to hang out with Rob which was sweet because I hardly see him anymore. I don't know why I don't see him more since he's just up at Syracuse. Oh well, all in all, it was a great trip up to the Cuse.

The following weekend I went up to RIT and hung out with Ryan W and Errol and Matt. Good times were had. FYSY is all I have to say about that. The only negative thing was that I was an idiot and accidentally left my phone up there, so Ryan had to mail it to me. But other than that, the last 2 weekends had been good.

This past weekend I didn't do too much only because I had to play at Relay for Life at 3:15am. That's really messed with my sleeping pattern lately, but I'm readjusting, and I'm really happy to do that because I'm trying to catch up on running. PS I'm cleared and allowed to run so I'm running every chance I get now. It's been good, and I'm just really happy I can run. I've promised myself I will never lose that again because it was absolutely terrible not being able to. I can't imaging what it must be like being paralyzed all the time. So be thankful for what you've got.

Live High,

Carl
