I want SC2 so bad.. well the only thing I can do is watch videos on youtube then play broodwar again pretending its sc2.
Haha figured out dumpweed and dysentary gary went!! Yes! haha high five Nathaniel. god that was like the most frustrating thing ever. Especially after not having listened to either of those songs let alone blink 182 in a few months. They need to hurry up with their new album..and IT BETTER BE EPIC.
School starts in two weeks.. nice.
And we don't even have our schedules. double nice
I hate how they do this every year. They need to change it. Send out schedules like first week of august or last week of july so we have time to buy books, make changes etc. and not having to make a mad rush to the office the first two weeks of school. complaining about having no textbooks. all that junk. whatever this is the last time! :)
Jonas was a prophet. whoo ohhh. but he didn't really get it. sad but true.
lol I think that's how it went. just popped in my head.
Just talking to Chandler Yen about starcraft. I feel so nerdy. I need to get better so I don't put Korea to shame!! lol. So many terran players.
aight peaaacccceeee

Invierno
Antonio Vivaldi's Winter of the Four Seasons Violin Concertos..
Epic piece. All of them are. But winter is my favorite. Then Summer. Maybe because they're in a minor key? I've always liked minor keys better. Fantastic works of literature. Intricate harmonies and conflicts. Each phrase tells a story. Conveys an emotion or carries meaning. Every note has a purpose. When all is said and done you get a painting of a scene. Shaping each line or phrase to show the listener and to make them hear what you want them to hear. To understand and know what you know. Is the fun of violin playing. One of my teachers told me, "We are not musicians, but magicians and illusionists." Deep thoughts. I really missed all this. I haven't had these kinds of thoughts about my playing for a few years. All your thoughts and emotions can be felt when you play. Its obvious to someone else who plays an instrument. Playing the violin goes beyond just proper techniques and intonation, rhythm. Those are all components that help to paint a bigger picture. The most important part is to make the music come to life. And that is the hardest part.
Practiced my violin today for almost six hours counting my lesson. Intense. Haven't played that much in a long time. I really missed it. I didn't think I could have fun playing the violin again now with climbing, having a car, seeing friends, but I'd rather just sit there for a few hours, with my violin in hand and just play. I wish I had felt this way before. I'd be like semi pro. They always told me I had a lot of potential, one of the best from my age, way ahead of others. But I let that get to my head, got arrogant, didn't put in the effort, got stuck with a terrible teacher. Potential means nothing, if the effort isn't put in. I learned that the hard way.
It really bugs me though that I shouldn't climb as much. It messes up my muscle cotrol for violin playing. I lose some of the finer control that I need. Its different from guitar. A little too much pressure can make the note go sharp. If I lean my finger a little it changes the pitch. Any movement in the fingers change the pitch. Also my bowing is terrible. Super tight and tense. It wasn't like that before. I should have known after my first time climbing it wouldn't be beneficial to my violin playing. Oh well. I'll just take both and make it work.
Hmmm reading Farrenheit 451. Need to finish it quick so I can start my other books.
Well..guess that's it.
I just had to rant about me and violin. I love it too much.
Classical music is the best. It has meaning, carries emotions and feelings. and persists centuries after they were composed. Do you really think this mainstream crap will last over 300 years? nah I doubt it. They hardly last a few weeks. But there's a lot of great music. Just hard to come by these days. Alternative Rock still is still going strong. Love rock. hip hop industry is dying. It's been dead. they need something new and different. I know a lot of people will disagree but if you think classical music is boring you're definitely wrong. but you have to agree that mainstream shit is crap.
oh well there's my rant. Kinda long, disjointed. whatevs

Pause, Stop, Rewind, Stop, Play.
Disappointing. I keep forgetting to make these important phone calls. argh. Tomorrow. I have to otherwise haha its gonna be messy. First thing. I HAVE TO DO IT. omg. hah.
Began listening to Rise Against again. Don't know why I stopped. ahah we're so similar but different. Its interesting. I enjoy talking with you and hanging out with you. Don't have to worry about anything you know? Its just chill, whatever, just us and whatever we happen to be doing at the time. Something different from.
Cut my hair today again. Trying to cut the back was so scary.
Hah sorry but I don't like to be kept waiting. No hard feelings right? I understand you and I hope you understand me. I just don't really like waiting on people. I mean unless I'm really looking forward to whatever but yeah. You know. I think everyone can identify with this.
Inception Round 2? Yes. Drive in theatre? haha interesting.
I want to keep climbing and climbing and climbing.. I want to get much much better. I just din't have the strength right now. Just gotta keep working. No easy way out.
QWERTY whoever came up with this arrangement of letters on the keyboard is pretty smart. How do you come up with something like this? Ever thought of that? I think its fascinating. Same with other things we take for granted. We're all really lucky. Be good. You don't want to be on the bad end of Karma next life.
1. You are
2. I actually kind of do miss you. Now that I think of it.
3. I'd rather not think about this right now.
4.
5.
Who would have thought my summer would end up like this? Very interesting, but I don't mind.
peace
much love

To the Sea
go go go.
Getting pretty excited about the guitar covers..need to practice and practice.
Violin recital next Sunday. A little nervous. I have a lot of work to do.
lol Wedding Dress cover. oh man. hilarious. Soon. Soon.
Without summer school life's been pretty chill.
Listen to music, play guitar, play violin, cook, read, climb, bike, swim, whenever I want. nice nice..
Went to Market Night today. for like five minutes. left. Jam session at best buy. story of my life. Seriously when you get bored, hit up best buy. Video games, movies, cool stuff, and best of all their instrument section. Playing on super nice guitars whenever is pretty dope.
I'm pretty excited to finish off this summer and start school. It will most definitely be an interesting school year. Need to make some friends first though haha. oh man..havasu. who am I going to stay with? Nothing can match room 337. Ever. Hopefully we'll have a lot of gay fun...errr I mean.. gay as in happy.
Nathaniel tomorrow..orr I guess today. Climbing, jam session, mall, plus whatever else we think of. sweet.. I love random days. Its the most fun.
Just go with the flow. Do what feels right.
I'm itching for another karaoke run. Who's down? Plush!!! :)
lets freaking go..omg.
I really want to do Time is Running Out by Muse for either talent show or class night. and also somethig majorly epic. We need something super badass for class night though. Hmmm I really want to do something..
"I knew a lovely girl with such pretty pride. And every man wanted her and yeah so did I. so did I. but she up and died in a fit of vanity" Don't Know When but a Day's Gonna Come - Bright Eyes
"Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record. I was a camera, until I went blind. Now I'm riding all over this island, looking for something to open my eyes" Train Underwater - Bright Eyes
"Life's too short to even care at all" Cough Syrup - The Jakes/Young the Giant
"I strain my eyes and try, to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites." Passenger Seat - Death Cab for Cutie
I think that's enough for today. Just some quotes that I liked or thought was deep. I think I'll do this from now on. Its kinda fun. Just keeping the music going and whatever catches my attention..hmmm aight
peace
much love

This Song
For some reason..just.
haha
how pathetic..how pathetic.
maybe later
but definitely not now..
not now.
"Color my life with the chaos of trouble..." The Boy With the Arab Strap - Belle and Sebastian
"Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it there is no point in standing in the past cause it's over and done with." If She Wants Me - Belle and Sebastian
"Everybody's trying to make us another century of fakers." Century of Fakers - Belle and Sebastian
Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes
I couldn't think of just a little bit to quote..the whole song is pretty deep.
Oh and Don't Know When but a Day's Gonna Come - Bright Eyes is another good song.
Most of you probably won't even like this type of music. But whatever. I like it. A little depressing..but haha I like it.
The Smiths are bomb. Thanks to (500) Days of Summer.
All those songs are pretty deep. Should definitely check out Belle and Sebastian. And as I've mentioned before, Bright Eyes. Two of some of my favorite indie artists.
1. Oh man..I had no idea you were so good. I have a lot of catching up to do lol. Climbing Beast man... HAHAHAHAH oh shit I have to thank you for giving me a good laugh
2. Mann you pull them in like nothing. Nice
3. haha you're so cute. You have no idea. also I didn't think you would remember. I guess I'm just too used to girls flaking on me.
4. I've seen you like three times? this summer? lol how sad. What happened to running/climbing/hanging out a lot? haha its ok. I didn't really believe all that. Hurry up and get back.
5. I have to thank you for telling me about Bright Eyes and Belle and Sebastian and Arcade Fire and a whole bunch of other artists.. I miss you man. Its been almost 5 years now.
peace
much love
