so the folks were gone this weekend and i AT LAST seized the opportunity to put my dad's speakers to USE. secret machines baby...if you have anything that makes noise, this record is like...beer goggles for your speakers...no wait...for you listening to your speakers...or for your ears...when you listen to ...your speakers. hm. whatever. anyway it's great. and oooh boy did it rock the family room...hehe....

i feel like writing in this guy, eeeeven though i dont really have anything to write about? but isnt that a crabby way of looking at life haha. i think i was inspired by robs's lovely analysis of the transatlanticism...shes a bright one. she's also 21! go robbi go!

so like...ok i got nothing. my life is boring. hehe. nah. its amusing. but it just seems like the space between 20 and 30 is supposed to be this big bright whirling continuum of zing-zang kapow liiike...hm thats a description is not going to work haha ....its tough to articulate some things w/o gestures and sound effects:S but it feeeeels like...hm... like it should play out like a reel of film you know? like frame after frame of moments! and bursts of light and color all that good stuff....like i feel more like im painting a nice line along a long wall with...something nice...not like...a crayon...and thats not just you can't paint with crayons...but like with watercolors or something equally pleasant and mildly dynamic and...perhaps something youd even want to paint a line with someday ...this is the worst analogy ever. why am i POSTING this? i think because i think im wasting a lot of very very usable time? and i'll be honest. it's embarrassing...and i need to snap out of it darn it! sooo by updating this lil "picture of the day" deal (hah when the website starts working it can go back to it's intended use) with real life excitement ...it'll be like holding myself accountable for...ehh i dont really want to do this anymore...

nono this is good. an experiment! after 1 month i will waste less time! ok good plan. just dont read it. ok? skim this lameo... heheh lameo... entry and then no more. and um...come to bandcamp.

the cicadas like to sing along with this one and it sounds pretty hot:)

speaking of which...THE CICADAS ARE HERE! after 17 years, theyre back to get it on for a few short weeks or something. and then they die. but their kids will be back in another 17, when wow. i'll almost be 40. some of you will already be older than that! whoa depressing. but not really cuz i mean...viggos 45. so there. anyway right cicadas. theyre kinda cool sounding and look like drunk hummingbirds when they try to fly around, but the best part is how much people are freeeeeeaking out. oh it's just so sci-fi.

it's pretty serious though- a few days ago, a big chunka street flooded and had to be shut down, allll because of the cicadas....one of the little guys flew into this lady's car, causing her to freak out and lose control of the vehical and "next thing she knew, she was on top of the fire hydrant", which was a big shit.

aaanyway ive been too lazy to scan in slope day pictures, so i decided to use my picture sharing thing to instead let all you not-around-here-ers in on the magic of cicadas. robs and i did however get (is that word order a bit jarring?) a nice shot of two lucky cicadas getting down at the park where campalooza was supposed to be until we discovered they were a little too into the whole rules thing...plus, they didnt have any available cabins until like november. so you know.

right. so that was on a digital camera but we...well mostly me... i mean i...was... were...was...were... ENGLISH! AAH! too lazy to even get that onto my computer, and as you can see by scrolling down a little, none of my other pictures are working:S, so insteaaad ive borrowed a nice shot from the google image thingy to help with this little educational thing.

see theyre really quite beautiful and not at all harmful although dogs like to eat them and will boot the whole heap of them right back up due to their tough-to-digest exoskeletons.

and aww while we're at it, here's a cute little guy trying to cozy up to the president:)

i thought that was really cute for some reason. i mean just look at him moseying on over there...you really gotta see these guys fly:) awww...okok. thats enough of that. if you are interested, though, i can send you your very own cicada...not alive of course, but theyre all over the ground and in very good condition! your own little piece of the magic...for a limited time only!

Currently Playing Long Road By Nickelback figured you out see related

cant...get...enough...of...this...song!!! sooo aweeesoooommme...like GROWL...wooha! like the opening line is hot...then the second verse thing with the guitar going...raaarrrwww! um...not a lot like that but you know what im referring to? perhaps you should listen to it right now and see:)....esp if you havent heard it yet! def the best rock song ive heard in quite a while...and you know, ive had it with all this poo-poo nickelback talk...sure theyre not like earth-shatteringly different from some of the other bands today, but theyre better beacuse...well...ok its like this. back in the 90s (haha) rock, as in ROCK rock, was awesome. now...not so much. but even though all those wonderful bands have "evolved"  or gone away, these new guys are making the old stuff! and it sounds good dammit! especially this song:) and i know a good chunk of people were all about 90s rock, so they cant allll possibly think that nickelback is lame...its like this whole "i dont like country, i just like johnny cash" trend...what?? agh...anyway...

wow thats totally not what this is for...i rant about music plenty in person and on my away messages, this little xanga deal is for 1) sharing pictures! 2) killing time! 3) showing/pairing;) off my wonderful friends!!

which brings me to TODAYS (actually last weekend's but...on time isnt my thing as im sure youre aware...) FEATURE!

yes. a few things to keep in mind. shes TOUGH (as in running 10 miles with like 5 stress fractures tough! as in doing abs on an incline holding giant weights to her chest tough! as in threatening the health of the the girl who was carrying on with her friend's bf tough! (freshmaan dramaaaa:P) shes tough! roar!), SMART (as in...hehe i wont get into it, but shes waaay smart...and one of the hardest working people i know...a powerful combination indeed:) ) and a very loyal friend!!! aka realllly good to have on your side:) and wonderful!!

ooh so. i was trying to find the best pictures i have from school that most people hadnt already seen/gotten copies of...and that nobody would be mad at me for putting up. yeah, pretty tough, which is why i only have like 6, but more will come once i find the rest of my pictures... im not sure where they all went...strange... but here you go:)

you know, i love this picture-it really just screams hot TRUCK at you, sometimes more than hot truck itself, and nobody else has a copy... thanks to a certain individual...i wont name names....who let HIS copy get run over in the parking lot. very nice very nice.

chem 207 (8?) final time baby. freshman year. aww yeah. you know theres a lot going on in this picture...first of all, diana tex and i are all taking a class together...which now seems like it should have been the most fun thing EVER but back then tex was too cool to sit with freshmen...not that i would have been there to sit with....i think dianas with me on that one:) anyway SECOND of all...diana and tex are both biooo majors here...im taking chemistry to fullfill...engineering (???) requirements. interesting fun fact, later in life i talked tex into taking biology of the neotropics with me, only to get my ass kicked by him pretty much across the board. tapirs man. tapirs. but i digress. THIRD...john haines is not in the room, which means even tho we all look tired, nobody had actually started studying yet...please note page position on the textbook there...and FOURTH...late nigth study session munchies and awww yeah, got the snacks covered...thats right, we all split those slim fasts entering the room, which represented the last two food-like items in the dorm...whenever i think im tight on cash i like to think back to this especially rock-bottom-esque occassion.

<sigh>...doesnt it just remind you of happy times?:) and the strange wave of go-kart addiction?? and sarah and dan back when they were still "just friends"? aww...

sniff...the old apartment...AWW and there was just enough room for everybody on the couches sniff....so great, so great...at times like this i like to think about the shower, or when the heat broke and it usually makes me feel a little better...sigh but not really

aww dirty and her baby chicken

hehe i think this picture is pretty self-explanitory:)

and also..my favorite picture of all time...gorges and the most perfect day ever...sigh...

so thats all for now...but if anybody has pictures on their computer seeeend them to me and i'll put em up:)
