Riot Fest!!!!

We got our Riot Fest tickets tonight!!! Is it sad that I am so excited I am practically vibrating - and its not until September....

Bad Books, Blink 182, Kitten, Blondie, Violent Femmes, Against Me!.... Just to name a few....

Riot Fest, Riot Fest, Riot Fest!!!!

September cannot come fast enough...

Sigh....

Seriously deranged....

Deliriously happy...

Starting to think that I've completely lost my mind....

I'm being annoyed by my own good mood...LOL....

That's it!! I've finally cracked! LMAO...

Not sure what the deal is lately...I was thinking how it hadn't been a particularly good week and yet I think it actually has been. Got to spend the weekend with my sister and family (read: cutest baby ever!). Amanda (my niece) got herself a job. I have a new purse and lamp (not sure how those factor in, really, LOL)....But overall I'm feeling pretty lucky...

So I was reading an interesting speech by the CEO of IBM (Palmisano) and he believes that the answer to our economic woes lies in technology and I must admit that I agree with him. While what he proposes, of course, would benefit IBM (to some extent), I really believe that he's spot on. Though he did mention RFIDs which get my conspiracy theory/big brother fears all stirred up....LAMO (yes, Sarah, that's LAMO).

.....

Homework...and reflection....

:-)

Hope you're all enjoying today as much as I am! :-)

So tired...

I'm almost giddy....I was up so late last night working on homework. I actually enjoyed most of my homework this weekend - not sure why all of a sudden it felt like less of a burden...It was more interesting - as I'm finding the IT program to be - and a little tough coordinating with my group-mates....

Its so very cold here - very wintry...

So far I've downed two soy lattes (and, C, don't go there with the origins of soy milk, ok? BTW - I'm ensuring that I mention you at least every few days so I don't get Juan showing up on my guestbook bitching. He can be such a whiner at times), working on a sugar-free Rockstar and then I've got an Amp waiting for me....I hope this will keep me awake until I get home...and then I have a feeling I'm just going to crash....

I don't have much to say really....
Can't talk about the things I want to right now...
Don't feel like talking about the things I can....

Melancholy...

The sunset trees and the the waning daylight obvious reminders of the changing season. I'm tired today and needing to tend to my homework. Finding distractions though really there is a fundamental distraction that isn't a distraction at all. Just getting focused or at least trying to....Does this make sense? Hardly matters....

Anyway...i should get on with it....

Good day....or is it?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Its Monday and rainy....I hate Mondays, love the rain...Its very cold today and I'm really feeling it....One would think I'd be warm with all the energy drinks I've consumed today....lol....but no, just wired and cold....

So Staind, Seether and Papa Roach are touring! I want to go!!!! But I got myself terribly confused with the dates (that's a big surprise, eh?) - they're here in Rockford in two days but I can't go to that concert but they're coming back in December and I'm hoping to go....











On my playlist today:

Goooood Morning! :-)

Tell me baby, what's your story?

Woke up in a stupidly good mood...though this has been happening these last few days....

Had a great time yesterday with the family. Got my paws on Riley for an excessive amount of time - I swear that kid is simply the cutest little thing in the world. I'm nuts about her.

I have massive homework to do today but I don't feel like doing a damn thing....

On today's playlist:

Moody...

I'm in a mood...Its some strange kind of melange of a variety of different moods - ranging from an almost giddiness to a very angst-y longing feeling...sigh...Thankfully its a reasonably good mood overall but still - it nags a little...its a little tedious...

August's Soundtrack.....

These are some of the songs that have been the soundtrack to this month thus far, enjoy:

Kyo's Song...

This is Kyo's song for today:



Thanks for sharing, my friend! :)

Renewed....

Ok, so i think that i really did just have a bug because i woke up feeling pretty good today! :) I had a really good night. And i actually cooked for myself - and it tasted good! LMAO - no one was more surprised than i! I made broiled tilapia with a tequila, lime and garlic marinade and some steamed broccoli. Managed to set the fire alarm off again - didn't actually burn the food but the heat buildup sets it off when i forget to turn the oven fan on. Sorry, don't mean to carry on but for those of you who have survived my cooking in the past let me just say, you would have been impressed! LOL.

I've been drinking SmartWater by Glaceau lately and while I did get an A on my last three assignments, I'm not feeling any smarter. Then I realized, its SanityWater that I need...sigh...(forgive the bad photochop - i'm still learning).

Anyway, this song has been in my head this morning. A tad unusual but then such as my life has become:

Use Me, Crazy Bitch...

So I've been enjoying these songs today...

Lexapro....

in the light of the sun, is there anyone? oh it has begun...
oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
this world you must've crossed...you said...

you don't know me, you don't even care,
you don't know me, you don't wear my chains...

I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...
I think I'll go to Boston,
I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset,
I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...

So I have discovered that Lexapro does nothing to soothe when I'm confronted with an emoish song....sigh...

Glukoza

Ok, this is my favorite Glukoza song/video.

Goodbye.....

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

I think this says it all for me today....
