one of those random late night blogs...

So I'm sitting here and it just now struck 3am. Why do I stay up like this. I actually got my sleep into a pattern and I blow it...I blame the internet. But then again I blame the internet for many of my problems.

It's weird all the thoughts that run though my head at night. I think about my future, work, school, family, sticking crackers to my face with peanut butter...well. It's just interesting. I wonder if everybody has weird thoughts like me or if I'm just strange...or the only one who will speak of his weird thoughts.

I've got a lot on my mind right now. Mainly my college tuition. I'm going to start out by saying the tuition at Limestone is idiotic. I mean if it wasn't for the fact that I love this theatre department, I'd be gone. But I love this department. We gel. Or at least I gel with it, but you get my point. I just have to find a way to get like 5,000 bucks in about 10 days. I have know idea what I'm going to do. Maybe I'll have to work the corner or something.

But for some reason I'm not one to worry. I just leave things on my mind. I really live for the moment, rather than plan for the future. That's one of my major downfalls. I really should plan ahead but I just don't. I don't know why. I think I'm destined to become some indy-folk rocker, not because that's what I inspire to be, but it just fits my personality. I find it weird. Mostly because folk-rock is not at all in the picture I have for my life...Well yeah it is. I'd like to make money and discover an awesome folk-rocker and give them their start. Would be quite epic indeed.

Well on that note I'm done typing!

Woot!

This is just one of those update blog things.

I'm not feeling that great right now cause I made these tacos and I used bad meat. So right now I feel horrible! And I mean horrible.

But whatever. That's all I have to talk about right now.

Why Does The Sun Burn Me So?!

My face is in pain! Working all day and now my face is as red as a cherry! I mean I'm always red, but I'm especially red now.

Why does the sun have to burn people? Why can't the sun just warm things. Kind of like a blanket. I want the blanket sun, not the microwave sun.

This really doesn't make any sense. I'm just tired. I need a nap!

Today Sucked!

Okay. So my parents kind of footed the bill when I went to Warped Tour. So my big way of paying them back was doing all the chores that they have always wanted to do, but never got around to.

So I got up around 7:30. Went down to my Grandma's and cut her grass. Which that's not bad cause I usually do that anyway. But having to get up at 7:30 kind of sucked.

But after that I had to repot right home and paint the building. The building is this giant tool-shed. It's about 8ft high, 30ft long and 10ft wide. So that's a lot of painting.

By the way, Chelsie was helping me with all this because she ran her cell phone bill up by $70.

Anyway, we painted the building from 10 to about 4. It took forever. But my big lesson is...

DO NOT HAVE A LATEX PAINT FIGHT!

Chelsie and I decided to be stupid and have a fight with the paint. It was pretty lame, but fun at the same time. But afterwards, it was everywhere. On my legs, arms, hair, and everywhere.

So having to paint and do chores wasn't the bad thing. But having to scrape the paint off of me was bad. Had to shave some of the hair off my legs. Sad day in my life. Feel like I lost some man points. Then I spent about an hour in the shower and about 30 minutes brushing my hair to get all of it off. It was really sucky.

So after an entirely epic failure of a day. I still fill accomplished. But whatever.

Later dudes,

My Day At Warped Tour

So yesterday I went to Warped Tour in Charlotte, NC. The day didn't start out too well cause I had something wrong with my stomach and I felt like I ate too much all day. Weird feeling but I fought through it. But when I got there, Streetlight Manifesto was coming on in about 10 minutes so I ran to see them. Streetlight is one of my favorite bands so I was hyped that I was getting to see them for the first time.

Streetlight Manifesto's set was amazing. I skanked until I could not skank anymore! The only thing about their set that I was dissapointed in was that they played a lot of their new stuff and left out a lot of great songs. I was very disappointed in that but it was still a great show on their part.

After that I kind of walked around and listened to other bands. One that I really like was a band from England, TAT. They were really good. I bought one of their stickers. Nobody had really heard of them, though some people there had. But their set was awesome. Really enjoyed it.

I also watched Jeffree Star. His set really impressed me. Cause I have heard him before but I'm not really a fan. His music is just not my taste. But his set really impressed me. Not because of the music or the fact that he covered the Black Eyed Peas' 'Boom Boom Boom'. But he brought a show. He really was very charasmatic on the stage. Really enjoyed it.

After his set, The Millionares came on. I actually was not impressed at all by their show. That's all I can say. Although I like the song 'Alcohol'.

I wandered around and I watched some more bands waiting on Big D and the Kids Table. They were the real reason I came to Warped Tour. I didn't find anybody else that really caught my attention. But then I saw a big group a people skanking down in front of the Hurley.com Stage, so I went down there and Westbound Train was performing. They put on an amazing show. I was ready for a reggae show and they put one on! It was truly and epic showing.

I then waited through some band that had this smaller lead singer who talk and sang like a chick. They were horrible.

Then Big D and The Kids Table came on! They put on a show! I had to have skanked off like 25 pounds. I loved every minute of the set. I just wish they would've played 'My Girlfriend's On Drugs'. Meredith and I came to the conclusion they are probably just sick of playing that song! But it was still the best show of the day. It was amazing, epic, and every other word that means something related to epic!

Overall I had a blast at Warped Tour. It was amazing.!

Equally amazing was the Subway we ate afterwards cause we were starving. I think I ate at around 7am and didn't eat again till 9pm.

Are People On The Internet Morons?

I was just wondering. Cause I've been on all the forums/social networking/video sites and crap like that and I've just realized that the world is filled with idiots. Now the one thing the internet has done is...It gives some idiots voices.

I don't think that everyone on the internet is an idiot, it's just that some are. Like when you go online and people can't speak English. Now it's kind of different when you have a way of talking in person, but when you type like a monkey to make your words sound like your speak. Wow. You are really trying to make yourself seem stupid.

Now I know that pop-culture has made being stupid the hip thing right now, it's just weird.

But come on people. At least show that you're trying.

Warped Tour Tomorrow!

I'm excited about going to Warped Tour tomorrow. Not exactly sure when it starts...probably should look the times up online, but I'll probably blow it off and just show up. I'm going with Meredith. We're leaving the house around 8:30 so we can eat and get there around 10:30. Hopefully we're not standing around waiting on something to happen.

I went to bed at like 8:30pm so it's now 4:00am and I can't sleep. Great idea from me right? My sleep pattern has sucked majorly lately. I really need to get in some routine but that's not my style.

Oh, I'll be sure to post a review of the show on here. Hopefully it's as awesome as last year.

Late Night Thoughts About The Future

Okay, so most people that know me know that I don't sleep too much. Well I do go to bed but I never seem to sleep. But when I'm laying there, I start thinking. Usually it's stupid stuff like ideas for skits or what would carrots taste like covered in grape jelly. But sometimes I think about the future and thinking about the future sucks because you always want to know where you going but the truth is that you're never going to know till you get there.

See my family and I make videos and post them online. We enjoy them and a lot of other people do too. And it gets hard when you take your time making all of this stuff and then you see somebody online with a high-pitched voice getting fame and selling merchandise. Getting famous online is now becoming just as hard as getting famous in the real world. Cause everybody is doing it. Except the Amish, but they have a good reason why they're not trying to be famous online.

But when I think about the future, it kind of scares me. I'm going into a hard industry. I mean, I'm going to graduate from college with a degree in theatre. It's hard to make it in theatre, I'm going to have to work my but off. Cause to make it in the entertainment industry is hard. It's just one of those things you have to get lucky with. Cause you see some people who are amazing and have nothing to show for it. But on the other hand you have these people that did next to nothing and have everything in the world.

So when I think about the future, I have one thing on my mind. And that's to make something of myself. My goal in life is not to become a statistic. I want to stand out and have people notice me. Not in a Paris Hilton kind of way where you just want to be in the public eye, but in a way where people look at you because you've done something. Like in a Walt Disney kind of way, somebody who has done something with their life.

Well I'm going to stop ranting on about this. Later everyone!

Okay, I'm actually updating this again!

Well it's been a while since I updated this blog thing that I have...I need to, cause it kind of helps me vent in this awkward way where anyone can read it. Whatever.

So my last update was in March. It's now July. I've done things since then. I don't know if any of it is actually significant...Oh course it is because I'm significant. At least I think I am. The lord made me so I have to be. Are you still reading this paragraph or can I move on?

Well since March I have...Finished my first year of college, been in Robin Hood and stage managed a play at Theatre Charlotte, and started an eventful summer.

(actually this summer is not really eventful, but right now I have this painful sunburn!)

But anyway...You people really need to check out the website! Which is.....dot.....

Check out all the interested stuff on there! It's all filled with excitement!
