Off to see some old friends at the Sherm with one of my best friends.

I can’t remember the last time I went to a show. 
JK. It was a Gold show before I left for Florida 2 years ago.
lol anyway, tonight should be fun. I love supporting my friends and their dreams, so I’m super excited I’m home for this and that I have the time. Yay!! Set Phasers to Stun- aka. Geronimo <3 my babiesss

Set Phasers to Stun
This Condition
Think Big
Brookline Drive
Down A Lifetime
Twisting Life
Where the Truth Lies

STARTS AT 6 if you’re in the area and feel like hearing some good music and having a fun time. =) SUPPORT THE MUSIC! 

I can’t even remember the last time I wrote.

I used to write all the time, but I guess I just haven’t been inspired enough for the past two years or so. 

But I heard this music on somebody’s tumblr (right on, dude!) and words just kept flowing, basically like word vomit. So grateful. 2 songs in two days? I can’t even. 

I’ve been “creating things” on piano the past week or so, but I haven’t written any of it down yet. I should probably do that. 

Needless to say, I’m really excited and can’t sleep.

But, I’m going to workout a bit, shower, and then hopefully pass out, if not study a bit more for my final tomorrow (today?) 

Today was so productive. Emotionally/psychologically, I feel great. 

Sleep well, friends =) 

I guess I got pretty pissed in Sociology today.

We were discussing Social Stratification and how your social class which you’re born into basically defines what your social status will be when you’re “grown up”. 

AND THEN we were discussing how going to college doesn’t guarantee you a job anymore when you graduate.

so then people brought up how it’s unrealistic and ridiculous how people think they can just go out and be the 1 in a million who is successful and famous in acting/some sort of performance occupation.

SO kids were saying how their parents raised them telling them they need to go to school to pursue one of the best paying jobs in America so they can have money because they may not be happy with what they’re doing, but at least they’d have money.
SO, no arts, no music, because neither of those things lead to financial success. 

We watched a film and everybody laughed when one high school student said, “I’m in the lower middle class when it comes to my family’s social status, and when I grow up, I just want to happy with what I’m doing. I don’t care if I don’t have the highest paying job, I just want to be doing something I love.”

… I guess I was the only kid who was raised, and saved by the arts, and music, alone. Even when I would say, “I’m going to be famous”, I didn’t mean RICH. I meant that people are going to know who I am and that I’m going to effect people positively. I’ve always been the one to stand up for the minority and believe in something or somebody when nobody else did. Why aren’t we allowed to believe in ourselves anymore without being called delirious?  

I guess I was the only kid who was told to follow the dreams that never leave because those goals are important. They’re the ones that you won’t mind failing a million times over, as long as you finally achieve them one way or another.

I don’t know. I guess I’m not in touch with reality and believe in myself more than any of their parents ever did for them. 

okay.sorry.bye.
