My Mobile Stage

What's the best way to listen to a song? No the real question is how's the best way to appreciate music. Yay. That's more like it.


Headphones? No, headphones serve as a necessary way of listening to music. It's more like a last resort. A way to shut the noise of the outside world, or to block out the noise when the radio on the family road trip gets redundant. Headphones are what make listening to music in public okay, respectful of those around you. They are necessary for bus rides and passing time in between classes. But headphones don't hold any sort of power, entertainment but no experience.

Speakers? A little better than headphones, a way to appreciate the heavier stuff or give you breathing room for the easy listening music that we all have. Or if you're like me they are perfect for when you have to do chores around the house. Plug in your Zune and blast the crap out of all you catchy, billboard 100 stuff. It's better than headphones but anyone can let loose when they are not confined to one place. Who wants to sit still when they don't have to.


The only way to test the jamming ability of a song is to blast it in your car stereo. Suddenly the steering becomes your makeshift drum kit and for a moment you believe you can belt out those high notes. Jamming ability in a car is the testament of an awesome song is, all done within the confines of your own seat.


The only thing that would beat the mobile stage is the real stage. Then again nothing beats live music, it's in your face no apologies, surrounds you and allows you to let go if only for an hour or two. I have learned that a song seems to come alive the moment it revives you when you didn't realize you were not living.

All I want...

Plans never go the way they're suppose to. Yet, we continue to make them. I just wish the things that I look forward to would actually happen. No one can be reached but a select few. This sucks. I mean this really blows. Just once I wish things would go the way I say.

It's not that my friends are unreliable, it's just really hard to get all of us together. Yeah it's the summer but most are busy with summer jobs and having family time before the new school year starts. Not to mention that for the next couple of weekends it's graduation season.

If only things were simple, but everyone has a life to live...right?

Once we figure it out it will be better. So maybe we won't eat Peter Piper Pizza, but that's okay. After all, the place or food weren't what I was looking forward to, no I was looking forward to get caught up in ourselves- the conversation, laughter, and every once in a while the comfortable silence. We could settle down on someone's trampoline on the outskirts of Mission staring up at the night sky. All I want.

So let's get back to when everything seemed perfect. Not a worry in the world...

A moment for reflection

I'm 20 years old, I mess with my hair when I'm extremely nervous. Bite my lip constantly. I trip over my own feet on a daily basis. I ramble when I am processing events. I am shy and introverted until I get to know you and let you in. Protective of those I love, but tend to be a doormat when it comes to matters of myself.

I am heavily addicted to music, having this constant need of "give me more, more" because I can never get enough. I love movies, and watch wishing my life was like a movie. Alas it isn't though I promise my self to go through my life with purpose. I doodle and must permanently have a pen and paper with me at all times. I adore quotes but love making my own.

I try to be a ray of sunshine for those around me because I'd hate to feed the dark clouds that loom around those I love. I believe the best medicine is a hug. I have one dirty mind that not many get to see. I consider myself socially awkward, young and at time naive. Never have I ever felt the need to intentionally hurt someone, unless it's my siblings but that goes without saying. I mean siblings fighting is not new to history of mankind. All in all I'm a good person.

Yet, none of these I believe amounts into a guy seeing me more than just a friend. I'm cute not beautiful. I've never had a boyfriend and I've never been on a date. I've been kissed, but I still feel as pathetic as Drew Barrymore's character in Never Been Kissed.

Those closest to me tell me to be patient, but patience is not what I lack it is hope.

I've given up in ever having a love life. Is it normal to have given up in love completely at the age of 20? I love myself and the way my life is going, so as long as those are in line I don't have a problem with my love life not being in sync with the rest of my life. Here's to the beginning of my 20s. Who want's to start the best 10 years of their life chained down?

Case of Nostalgia

Recently I've been very nostalgic. Not about my teen years, but about my childhood. I don't know. There's something about the 90's. It's the movies, the shows, the music. Everything then was just awesome.

In the midst of watching reruns of The Nanny and other shows from the best decade ever on Nick, I realized how free and dirty it was. Seriously The Nanny has some dirty jokes in there. Gone are the days where they do it all sneaky, no they have to say sex in every freaking sentence. Yes, I'm referring to The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Gosh that show is a joke. Not only is it so obvious but it's way exaggerated. No, just no. That show doesn't depict life in high school correctly, not many shows do. I just despise that show. It really sucks and needs to stop. I'm pretty sure everyone has slept with everyone. In my opinion, the show is like The Hills but without the thin veil of reality put on it. Nothing like the 90's. I really miss those shows. Cheers to those who remember The Adventures of Pete and Pete, CatDog, Aaah! Real Monster, Boy Meets World, and Dinosaurs. I shall begin my venture on getting these shows on DVD. I will eventually get to see them over and over again until my heart is content. Which will be hard to achieve since I can never get enough of the 90's.

As for the music, I have had some Sugar Ray, Bbmak, classic Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, Eve 6, and many more on my playlist for days. So chill and easy to jam to.

Me thinks I've got a bad case of nostalgia.

How do you measure a life

525,600 minutes in a year. I spend 800 minutes a week in class. I sleep 360 minutes a day. Class or sleeping still seems like I'm sleeping. Might as well say that I sleep most of life away waiting for something bigger than me and you.

NSN 2011

The past days have been amazing. I ate and inhaled lots of dirt from being at the festival for two days, but it was worth every note. :)

CARTEL!!

David & Eric of The Downtown Fiction

DEV

Breathe Electric

Black Cards

PETE WENTZ ( I got his autograph but forgot to take a pic of it)

Blake!! He was super tall and I'm super short. I feel like he had to crouch down just to be in the picture.

We Are the In Crowd

Never Say Never Festival 2011

Can't wait for Spring Break. I got some good homemade food waiting for me (fajita tacos. YUM!), hanging out with the friends and family, and of course the NSN festival. I haven't been to a concert in a year, so to get my feet wet I'm going to see Korn & Disturbed on March 8. Super duper excited!

I've been to NSN since the first time they had it, back in my senior year of high school. This year is a little different since I'll be taking my baby sis instead of going with my friends like I usually do, but I've wanted to be the one to take her to her first concert experience and plus ATL will be there.

I probably won't meet ATL, but Tina promised to get my guitar pick signed by Jack. So woot!

Until next time. Stay classy!

I Do Really Mind

I don't mind.

I don't mind.

I do mind.

I really do mind.

The thing is do I really want to start some shit with my roommate after being fine for the greater part of the year. I'm not sure. However, the clothes thrown all over the place is just annoying. At least, she hasn't had a rotten banana peel in her stuff. But she doesn't even try to remove her crap from the sink and bath area on cleaning day. Then, there's me who has to get ready for class and try to remove both her shit and my stuff.

Yes I know I referred to her stuff as shit and my stuff as stuff.

It just really peeves me. I hate to do this, but we honestly need to talk about this because if I let this go on for another month then I'm just screwed. I really need my therapy time with Sara before I explode.

...and I'll shelter you from the cold

So earlier in the week this puppy wandered onto our property and because we're dog owners we decided to give the pup some food. Then during the afternoon she ended up at our doorstep. My siblings thought it best to take her in especially since she was shaking like crazy and it was only going to get colder. No idea who she belongs to since she doesn't have a collar, but we figure that it belongs to someone in the neighborhood. Either way she's welcomed in our house to keep warm. No idea what is to happen later and I don't think we can just put her on the streets again. That would be rude.

Bazinga!

Awesome show! Awesome shirt, and even better it's in red. Awesome character, he has the best lines and nobody can deny. Amazing actor too. Shopping Success.

6 in the freaking morning

So waking up was easy today. Yup, so easy in fact I woke up 3 hours before I had to get up. I mean come one. it's my chance to sleep in a little. Sure 9 isn't that late, but it's something. No, what does my body decide to do, be wide awake at 6 in the freaking morning. Of course when I woke up I thought it was late and that I overslept, but then when I look at my phone I wanted to through it across the room. Naturally, I just turn over and go back to sleep quite easily. So damn easily that I wake up at 7 and then again at 8. I was literally anticipating my 8:45 alarm to tell me I had 15 minutes left to just lay in bed and not think.

The plus is I made it in time for my advising meeting, had enough time afterwards to make it across campus for my one and only class of the day. And then before said class I had enough time to fill out most of my application for majoring in communications and journalism (double majoring!!!).

All that is left is pile of work and finding out who I should put down as my third reference for the application. Someone who's seen my writing. Hmmm...

I'll work on that.

Vlog #1

Mundane Weekend

If I were to sum up my weekend and what my expectations are. They would be groceries, homework (lots of reading and taking notes), cleaning my room, and finally doing laundry. Yup as boring as can be. It’s weekends like these that make me feel old. Being away from home makes you grow up because if you don’t the world will eat you alive.

 

Seriously, I wanted to buy to pair of pants but all I thought was how far that money would go for groceries. Don’t I feel old?

 

Well I’m thinking of starting a 12 day vlog challenge, of course they’ll only come out weekly. Fingers crossed that they come out okay and that I don’t look like shit. Until later.

Down to the last days

Sad to say that by the end of the week I will be back in CS. Going to miss the homemade food and the luxury of having a full kitchen (Darn you dorm life!!!). But I hear I'll live. It's the way it always is. Time home is always the best. Many movie nights and going out to town with my seesters. Simple yet what can I say I am a simple kind of girl.

Today I spent time with Yvonne and Tina. Amazing time. We finally spent some time with La Lohan and I made chocolate chip waffles (oh I am going to miss the luxury of a kitchen) with strawberry toppings for her birthday. I'm such a dork, but I hear the way to anyones heart is through their stomach.

As for now, well sleep seems to be evading me. Another sleepless night for me it is.
