That was easy.

Attention!

Ladies and gentlemen, I here now pronounce my most recent dedication: I am growing my hair out. Why? Because the next year or so is the last time I'll be able to do something like this. The future holds working or more school, however currently I want to enjoy this moment now and achieve the most in potentially my last years in school.

I'm simply taking advantage of every moment I can you know?

What if?

Just got some song lyrics today, so enjoy:

"Calling all down-trotten spirits,

this night warrants a celebration of new merits

Speaking of victorious, I'd

define this day as glorious

With Deaf-defying stares,

I revisited her glares

Open my heart and you

realize the distance from my

mind, sensing the unkind

I now aim to defy."

"L’ Via

Durmiendo en paz
Abre los ojos
Todo cambiará "

~ The Mars Volta

Consequential?

Consequences - reactions, punishments, or simple attributes tied to certain life actions?

Randomness....

If you think something opposite of another person, how is that middle compromise found? Commonly, through discussion, arguing, mediation, confrontation, reasoning, working together, the list goes on and on. But what if the common way fails or isn't the best solution to gain a satisfaction from the result?

I think I want to discover some new ways, and here is my list:

Mind Control, elaborated schemes to manipulate common interest and opinions, rhetoric, pranks, sarcasm, egotistical explanations that just don't make sense until you make it true.

Yep, those are my new solutions to dealing with people and social interaction. How fun will it be to completely do the opposite and sometimes mindless methods of interaction to achieve the same result common sense could have easily produced. I think its going to be grand, we will have to wait and see if I can do this or if I simply drive myself out of my own mind.

Either way, its going to be an experiment that will create some absolutely fascinating situations that I plan on embellishing in.

Attention!

Ladies and Gentlemen, these are some bad ass tattoos:

Now, first off, I have been a fan of John Mayer since he started, and have always respected and even emulated his mind-blowing guitar work since I've started playing, I am simply declaring he might be a pop star currently, but try to imagine what kind of unpredictable music he will make with his guitar and blues talent when he ISN'T a young teen icon and an aging musician? Only time will tell...

On further note on today's theme of tattoos, heres another one about some band thats been popping around in my head recently (this blog was supposed to mainly be about music wasn't it?):

Straight out of Atlanta, GA..... enter the Mastodon. Heavy, methodic, deep band member experienced lyrics, shredding guitar solos the right way for once, Mastodon is a Heavy band for any musician. Their drummer tears up jazz metal beats that will blow your mind. The bassists vocals will stun you while he tears it apart amist keeping driving Mastodon's insanity into your ears. Both guitarists are amazing, they can perform perfectly live no matter what place their heads are at because "what we play is so infused into us from writing that we know it easily even tho you might think it complicated"

The highlight of the band to me is guitarist/lead vocalist Brent Hines. Featured above in the picture, he stands out as the intimidating forefront of this band. Believe me, dig into this band and you will see how all of them are very deep and very prominent members if not the best, however that is what makes this band cross the border so many bands can not, into the category of legendary. Brent Hines stands out to me, however I don't doubt a different member of this band stands out to you. Each of them are special, and combined this band is already exploding right now, touring with Metallica, and featured in Rolling Stone.

Enough me being a music reporter of probably old news because I'm new to this stuff, ummm... let me think of something....

Can't, so I'm out for tonight:

New Day New Thoughts

A new day brings out unexpected experiences. Just going to class on a Monday you see new people, witness unknown conflicts and conversations, and just absorb unfamiliar stimulus's.

That is the simplest example of inference from experience. A very complex example would be my undertaking of becoming a Camp Laney Counselor this summer. I will be living in the woods for 3 months, learning completely new perspectives about life from 8-14 year old boys. Their stories and jokes might influence a feeling of nostalgia, but that is the base of growth into new self-development.

I'm anxious about throwing myself into a whole new world for 3 months. Unlike studying abroad, I am completely aiming for self-growth and maturity through exploring a former major part of who I am (I was a camper for 8 years) and understanding what lessons brought me to this present reality.

Ummmmm

Sleep is for dreamers, therefore do I prefer the reality I distaste mostly over the would-be imagination of something? I don't sleep alot by relying on my dreams. Yet dreams keep hope in line. They preserve it. Yet sometimes mine simply dissolve it. And in doing so it has made me a "non sleeper", thus diminishing my ability to become a dreamer. But nowadays, is that so bad?
