I’m not creative enough to think up clever post titles… Maybe one day. For now you will have to deal with my crappy titles.

School is almost over! Today is my last day of classes (I’m currently on my lunch break between classes), and then I have finals on Thursday and next Tuesday. I will be living on Long Island for the summer working with my aunt so that I don’t have to constantly search for jobs. It’s just easier to stay in one place and keep the same job as long as possible.

Since I got my Motorcycle Permit yesterday (woo!), I’m going to be saving up all summer to buy a motorcycle. I’m looking at a Kawasaki Ninja 250R because it’s a small bike, and it’s slow. I’m confident that I will be able to handle the bike easily, and will not get any faster a bike than that because I’d be a nervous wreck riding it. Yeah, I’m bad like that… Hopefully I’ll have enough money by the fall to buy one, or I’ll just buy one in the winter. I will probably be able to get a really good deal on a bike if I buy it next winter since I’m going to be buying used.

The Coheed concert is sneaking up on me! It’s only a couple weeks away! And then a few days after that, I’ll be leaving for PA to meet up with Ryan for our awesome 12 hour road trip to Canada for Maycation! It’s going to be so epic! I can’t wait! But yeah, that’s all for now. I’ll update here and there and try to update more often since I will be deleting my Facebook…

Anywho, have a great day/week/however long it is until I update next!

I found out how I can list all of the songs on my iTunes library for people to see. Why? Because I wanted to.

iTunes Library

I finally got my Twelve Foot Ninja album in the mail! The case got thrashed, but the CD itself is fine. It’s such a great album, and I really hope they come to the US to tour! Such an awesome band, and if you haven’t listened to them yet, check them out! http://www.twelvefootninja.com and http://www.myspace.com/twelvefootninja

Only another month until the Coheed and Cambria album, and a little longer until Periphery and Circa Survive! (Am I missing anything? Oh well…) I’m seeing ADTR and Enter Shikari on April 8th (maybe. I might try to sell the ticket depending on how I feel in the next few days…) and Coheed and Cambria on May 26th, and then just a few days later I will be going to Canada for Maycation! Driving up with Ryan, and it’s going to be FUCKING BADDASS!

What else is new… Not sleeping well, but that’s old news… Oh! I quit my job. Yes, already. Why? Because they lied to me. They originally told me I could work 3 days a week and take any weekends off that I need to go home to Jersey and see my family, and they scheduled me 5 days a week, and told me I’m not aloud to have any weekends off. WTF? Whatever. My aunt has been putting me to work lately since her finger is broken, and she needs to get work done around the house. I’m going to be babysitting for her tonight, actually. That should be fun!

I think that’s all I want to talk about today, so until next time!

My mom called me earlier today to tell me that I need to pick either working front end or deli because the manager that hired to me lied and told me that they were both in the same union at that store and that I’ll be getting two separate paychecks, and union fees will be taken out of both of them. What the fuck? Bullshit. I’ll stick with deli.

In other news, I probably have a shitton of homework to do, and I haven’t started any of it. Why? I don’t know. I’ll do it tomorrow during my hour and 45 minute break between Accounting and Music Publishing. It can’t be THAT hard since I’ve actually been paying attention in class. Right?

I’m really not sure what to do with myself all day on my one day off I’ll get a week. Since it will be different every week, I can’t even come up with something to do for that one day, because, well… You get the picture.

I’m trying to make it a habit to write on here every day. I don’t write often, and when I do, I enjoy it.

OH! For those of you who haven’t been keeping up with my twitter or facebook the past two days, I’ve decided I want to bring Revolution Headphones back. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it yet though… If you want to help, I’m taking all suggestions and ideas into consideration. Just register and post here.

Well, that’s all today. Short, sweet, to the point (is there really a point to this blog? eh.)

Peace

Lets see… My life these days is pretty boring, but I feel like writing/ranting about nothing, so lets see how this goes.

For those of you who don’t know, I am a 19 year old Business Management/Music Business student at Five Towns College. I’m not 100% sure what I want to do with my life, but I do know that along the way I want to manage bands and eventually open up a record store. I’m from New Jersey, and it will always be my home, but I currently live in Long Island with my Aunt and Uncle so that I can go to school.

Lately, all I have been doing is going to school, doing homework, going to work, listening to music, and doing my radio show. I don’t really feel like talking about my radio show right now though because it feels like all I ever do is talk about it these days. I have however found a lot of new music in the process of putting playlists together for the show, and with new Circa Survive, Coheed and Cambria, Isles and Glaciers, and so many other awesome bands putting out new music in the next few months that my head feels like its going to explode (not that its a bad thing).

My first semester at Five Towns, I felt like I wasn’t making any friends, but this semester, between school and work, I’m meeting so many great people. I’m finally coming out of my shell, and I feel really good about it. With new friends also comes more new music to fall in love with. All different genres. It’s amazing what some people can do with instruments…

Anyway, I feel like I’ve written enough for today, so this will be it. Have a night night everyone!

Yes, it looks the same, but I got new hosting so I decided to start over with everything but the theme. Why? Because I don’t have photoshop to work on a new one. I’ll try to update this as much as possible now that I have reliable hosting.
