Tears stream down your face

Coldplay tickets for Sept 18, 2005 were purchased yesterday on ticketmaster by me. That sentence could have made a lot more sense if I'd worded it differently, but it's there now, so it doesn't matter.

College retreat this weekend for church. Should be a good time, I'm looking forward to it.

I've come to the conclusion that "This Side" is Nickel Creek's best album. Although I have not hear MAS, so I guess I can't say that definitively.

Work today. 11-12, 4-10. good times had by all. maybe I'll ressurrect Great American Lyricists tonight. That could be fun, eh?

I'm a twentysomething

Speaking of, new Jamie Cullum releases stateside October 11, 2005.

I'm pretty sure that I could write for quite a while right now. I'll try and spread it out over a few days to save you the effort, but here it is.

The rumors are true. I am no longer a teenager. This is so insanely odd for me to comprehend. I think of someone who's 20 as being on their way to adulthood, if they're not already there, and that this milestone is a joyous point on their journey. The problem for me is that I don't think I'm ready for that. I mean, I am in college, and, in all reality, will be completely on my own in a mere 20 months or so. I guess I always imagine adults as having desk jobs or manual labor jobs, neither of which I plan on having if I can control it. So, while many would think that this new age gives me new responsibilities and opportunities, I just see this as upping the ante in my quest to remain young. Not physically, but mentally. I'm sure you get the idea of this whole thing, so I won't keep on rambling trying to explain myself.

Yesterday was a pretty dang boring day for the most part. I got up at 8 and opened the package that my parents had sent me last week, which also had a present from my little sister in it. Then, work struck like the plague from 11-2, which wasn't terrible since I was able to watch the first season of the Cosby Show that I had opened that morning. Steph also brought me a cupcake, which was excellent. Then chilled out from 2-5, followed by work from 5-10. Around 9, a big group of my friends showed up with cake and toilet paper (don't ask). They stayed until my shift was done, and then we parted ways as I went back to the apartment and did a bit of homework. So that's what my day entailed.

My new testament class is taught by Keanu Reeves. Just an fyi.

Has it really been over a week since I posted on here? Odd.

When are the good movies gonna come out? Seriously. Oh yeah, Hitchhiker's comes out next Tuesday. You have to go into this movie thinking it will be completely ridiculous, because it will be. Mos Def does an excellent job, and once you get past the over-abundance of dolphins at the beginning, you'll love it.

Umm...yeah, that's it.

Hrrrrrrrothgar! Hrrrrrrrrrrrunting! Hrrrrrrrrrrrrethel!

From cinemaeye.com:

Variety reports that Angelina Jolie has been cast in Robert Zemeckis’ BEOWULF. This is going to be a motion-capture animated flick along the lines of POLAR EXPRESS.

All I can say is wow.

I can't stop the rain

Yesterday afternoon I had one of my most fun times ever. Period.

After church, the college group was having a free lunch in Centennial Park, so I went. After eating, we started throwing the football around, and then it started to rain. And it kept raining, so we decided to play Ultimate Frisbee in the rain. When we a\started playing, it was kind of raining, but not too terribly bad. After an hour of playing, the rain had become a steady downpour, and we had to end the game because of lightning. I don't think I've ever been that saturated in my life. It was so much fun, I hope I can do that again. Maybe I'll get the chance to on Tuesday when we get Katrina, but if it doesn't get super bad, I have no chance, because class is from 9:30-6:15, and if it is really abd and they cancel class, I won't want to be outside anyway. So scratch that, it won't happen for a little while.

Pete came yesterday, which is really odd. I love having him around, it'll just take some getting used to after a week of solitude on my side of the suite. We went to Mellow Mushroom for supper, which was amazing as usual, and then I watched the Transporter with Ryan, Tim, and John. Or, I guess we tried to watch it, but TiVo cut off the last 5 minutes because it's clock is off. So we'll finish that eventually.

I actually have homework that I could be doing right now! Crazy, I know. Maybe I should get on that... after a few more games of Free Cell.

Speed is patrolled by radar, laser, and airplane.

First, the title of this post is a roadsign that I actually saw today in Nashville.

Second, in order to avoid another incident like happened on my last post, I have decided to turn on the comment word verification feature, which basically means you have to type in a special word that they show you each time you comment. This keeps people from spam-blogging this site, which I can't stand.

In other news, I went to Brothers Grimm last night, and it was... interesting. I think I liked it. Don't go if you like cats though, you'll hate it because of one scene. If you hate cats (like me), that scene will become legendary.

Cause I have caused the pain but I cannot heal the wound

First day of classes were just kind of there. Pretty sure my least favorite will be Speech, mainly because the room is tiny, I know no one in the class, and the teacher seems a bit out of it. Favorite will probably be Music Publishing, which I, oddly, have with no one I know, but sounds like it's gonna be super interesting and creative. The prof is an adjunct who works for a publishing company in the creative department, and he was talking about the stuff he does and stuff we'll do in class, and it sounded like a ton of fun, so I'm pleasantly surprised by that one.

Work stirkes again today, this time 11-2 and 4-10, so I've got 2 hours left at the most. I guess I could close whenever I wanted to really, but I get paid to sit here and surf the net and listen to music/watch movies, so I can't complain. I'm hoping to go to a movie still tonight, preferably Brothers Grimm, which looks decent enough, and I haven't seen a movie in the theater since Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (at least not that I can remember). August has kind of sucked in the movie area. Wait, no, my last movie was Dukes of Hazzard. That's it. Ha, wow.

I was gonna do some rant about exestential crap, but that'll have to wait, as I have visitors who desire to play Spades with me. So, until then, peace out.

The greatest story never told... Until now.

Um, ok, get ready for this. I know that many of you will want to plan the next few months of your lives around this release, so I thought I'd give you a heads up:

Samuel L. Jackson is working on a film called "Snakes on a Plane."

And guess what it's about? You got it, it's about poisonous snakes that get loose on an airplane. Why did no one think of this before?

To top it all off, I'm pretty sure that one of the production shots has Keenan Thompson in it, so you know this movie is gonna rock. There's no release date yet, but I would imagine the plan is to have a midsummer 06 release.

Just a little something to get you through the winter.
