So Sleepy

18 Apr

That pretty much sums it up lately. No matter what I do, I’m not getting enough sleep. It seems like most of the time I don’t have a chance to go to bed early, and then any night when I get a chance that’s when I choose to stay up late. I’m beginning to wonder why I do this to myself, but each time that thought enters my head, I remind myself I have no idea.

Note to self: putting head down on desk while at work = bad idea. It’ll get you scared awake by the most god-forsaken sound on the planet when someone goes out the elevator door five minutes later. Drunk people are starting to come home, so that should keep me entertained for the rest of my shift. Ok, some really short girl just walked in the door that I have never seen before. I guess I should pay more attention.

A Theory

17 Apr

There’s this theory. Given an infinite universe and infinite time, all things will happen. That means that every event is inevitible, including those that are impossible.

I pose a question to you all. Now cmon, seriously think about it! The legends of every major culture all contain some sort of character who’s singular purpose is to grant wishes, except America’s. The Arabs have Genies, the Irish have Leprauchans, the Chinese have Dragons and Monkeys, the Europeans have Fairies and Wood Sprites…what do we have?

I’ve had an Epiphany! I’m not actually off dating. It’s just hard being in so many relationships looking for commitment, when all the girls I date aren’t interested in the least. Sometimes, being the Nice Guy is really, really tough. :)

This is a completely awesome song!

Have you ever been a part of something that you enjoyed just for the feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that it brought to you? Ever been a part of something that seems to be the perfect fit for you? Something that you stick with through all the crap that might go on in the middle because you truly believe you belong there and you can make a difference for yourself and others?

Have you ever had one person go out of their way to bring it all crashing down around you? I have. Tonight. I’d like to say I handled it well, but that would be a lie. I didn’t act out and do anything stupid. But I was not myself.

I actually hate this person. The thought is so totally horrible, but I truly HATE this person. If he ceased to live, I might even throw a party. I can’t even find the words to form this into a coherent post. I’m just going to stop. I hope your night was better than mine.

Ramblings and Ruins

09 Apr

Well lets see here… havent posted for a while. Besides the concert I havent done anything too crazy lately. Here’s a little something to ponder on.

Looking in a mirror to see who I am
Lost in the gaze looking back at me
Eyes so full of lonliness and hurt
An invisible tear runs down that boys cheek

He shakes his head forgetting the pain
Puts on a smile and all seems well
Still unhealed from the past battle
Pushing back into loves long war

With every step he hopes for relief
Wishing for another heart to fight with
Waiting for some to see elegance in his scars
Wanting desperately to find a figher on his side

Looking back at me what does he see?
He knows my past better than anyone
Was I foolish? Was I just? Who am I?
Should I have regrets? Or did I do what I could?

I see he has loved deeper than ever
Only to seldom see that love and care returned
I see him searching his past for someone to run to
Finding one, that fate long ago tore him from.

Finding old loves in his life, some dearer than others
torn away by fate and left heartbroken
Even if it seemed old fires were to be rekindled
He could not strike the match for the current burning flame

I reach out to comfort him so many times
So many times I am the only one who can see his pain
Yet he tries to hide it from me daily
Sadly it is a hole I can never refill alone.

 
 

Highschoolers, Short Pants, and Crowdsurfing

08 Apr

My back and neck feel like I’ve been wailing on C and D in [insert Nintendo Game Name here] for 36 hours straight. Apparently having blue hair and red eyebrows make girls act completely differently toward you. So the concert lasted, oh say, 3 hours. Throughout the entire thing, no matter where I managed to “migrate” to in the crowd–migrate, as in, go where the crowd pushes you–I would always, always end up in the middle of a bunch of highschool age girls.

And every…single….time…I would get tapped on the shoulder, and some young 17ishyearold would look at me with bright, shining, pleading eyes. Sweat glistening on her forhead, she’d stare up at me, extend one finger first at me, then at herself, then up in the air. And I, trying to ignore the fact that I was touching a 17ishyearold where I…in what I like to refer to as Real Life (RL)…shouldn’t, I’d wrap my arms around her…uh…waist…and hoist her onto the tops of the multitude of people in front of me. Remember the groups of highschoolers I mentioned? Yeah. It was a floodgate. First one, then eight. After…oh what’s the word to use…what can only be considered in RL as “molesting” 35 of these girls, I lost count. I’d get a little twinge in my back and neck everytime I would feel someone launch themselves at my back. I dreaded that stupid little finger.

Don’t get me wrong, it started out being completely awesome! Wrapping my arms around 100pound girls, and summarily tossing them 50 feet into the air has a certain degree of entertainment to it. But…yeah…then I kinda began to realize that I wasn’t seeing too many Armbands around any of those wrists…and it just became…icky…

So…yeah…blue hair and red eyebrows…overall, definately worth the experience. I will not, however, go into any more detail as to exact events that transpired at said concert because, in true Road Trip fashion, what happens on The Mile, stays on The Mile. At least, not until C or D break the seal first.

Death to C for claiming dibs on first post

Best. Concert. Ever.

07 Apr

How else can I describe it? The opening band didn’t suck for a change. Both headlining bands opened with my favorite songs. Yellowcard – Believe and Something Corporate – Hurricane. The energy of the crowd was absolutely amazing, especially during Yellowcard’s hour set. They covered Nirvana, they played old stuff, they played new stuff. Something Corporate covered Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve) and Hey Ya (Outkast). They played 21 and Invincible for me (well, not really). Seriously. Best concert I’ve ever.

My teeth hurt.

05 Apr

My teeth hurt. It’s a really weird experience, and I can’t really explain it more than that.

Sometimes I wish people would call me Dude. Or Duder. Or El Duderino. Don’t ask me why. I don’t have to have a reason. I tried to steal D’s pizza while he was on the phone. I threw a dorito at him in hopes to distract him further, that I might make a quick getaway and enjoy my pizzaliscious victory. He divebombed me though. Fartknocker.

I was in the middle of class today. Not paying attention. Daydreaming of little furry people living in the magical forest-that-is-C’s-ear-hair that speak some made up language like Shooshy or Frumptyfroodenwuffer. I totally lost where I was going with this. Anyhoo, I was reflecting on my experiences thus far in college, and I came to realize how truly deprived I really am. Oh! And speaking of chinese people, a few weeks ago, I got tired of hearing these three little bells on the girls’ door across from us. So I stole em, and attached em to my name. The bells, not the girls. Although that would have been cool. ‘Cause their hot. Anyway. Enter present day. I come home from weekendathome, and I find three (to their credit, new) tamp**s hanging in place of my cute little Bells! I had even named ‘em!

So! Having said that, I am open to suggestions on revenge tactics! Any reccomendations may be sent to Ishamael@commonexception.com

And I’m sorry C, but my speakers still kick the spinal cord out of yours. Nubi.
