That's why I'm here, now, because I have the inability to write words on paper without making them look like doodles. People ask me, "Do you write with your other hand?" or "Do you write 'crazy-fast'?" and "What the HELL does that say?"
Love notes, essays, poetry...all failures at my pen-held hand. I can't do it. I just CAN'T! So, STOP HURTING MY FEELINGS! I know have a problem and I'm just trying to get through it. Anyone know of a "Someone Help Me My Handwriting Is God-Awful Anonymous" type group? It would be really great if you could help me out with that.
Me
As an introduction of this blog, Most of you reading this know who I am (I imagine), but for those of you who don't, I'm an 18 year-old kid, who is going to school in Burlington, VT, who lives at all other times in Saranac Lake, NY (the coldest place in the country, oftentimes [our claim to fame]). I'm the lead singer/rhythm guitarist for the band The Standards (name is going to be changed due to copyright issues), an indie pop rock band based out of Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake, NY, and I also write music with my roommate Mike Fowler, which is a project named Manhattan Serenade. I will be going to school (hopefully) at Emerson College in Boston, to study Political Communication or Media Communication (specifically Studio Television). I'm not a shy person. I love people. I love good food, good red wine. I laugh a lot and I'm smiling all the time. I have the most amazing, smart, beautiful, loving, caring, supportive sweetheart of a girlfriend anyone could ever ask for, named Meghan. I have a massive music collection (let's share!) and I love movies.
That's me, summed up, in a nutshell, in 200 words or less.
The Valentine's Day Blizzard (thanks to Joe Kozachek for the picture of our snow mountain)
Snow snow snow, snow snow. That's all we have here right now. It has snowed heavily for the last two days and we are currently covered in at least 3 to 4 feet of snow. It has become an aerobic exercise to get from one building to another, all while dodging cars and plows in the road. Frogger 2: The Arctic Tundra. They told us that we wouldn't have class a lot so that Burlington and the school could plow the roads and the sidewalks. Guess what didn't happen?
Our Democratic rights being held intact! Whoa...
I haven't had much class in the last two days and that has made me a happier person. What did we (my roommate Mike, and friends Alex, Jim, and Matt) spend our time doing last night? Diving into huge piles of snow that lined the roads. Climbing up piles of ice and snow to proclaim ourselves king of the realm below. Making mutilated snow angels. Straining our eyes to see more than 100 feet in front of us and walking like zombies down the road, over-dubbing others (who we could barely make out in the distance) with zombie noises. We were like the A-team, with an extra member, Leroy. We saw cars trying desperately to get themselves out of huge piles of snow and as soon as we saw them we ran over to offer our valiant services.I felt like I was six years-old again. It was great. I haven't seen this much snow since about that age and it felt wonderful to throw myself into a pile of snow.
Musics
Today I've decided to do something I've thought about doing for awhile, that I used to do, and now that my music collection has grown to epic proportions, I've thought about restarting my old habits.
I plan on listening to an album in my collection that I have not yet heard, all the way through, every day.
I plan to do this because I feel like I listen to a lot of the same stuff and I have so much variety at my fingertips. All different types of genres. I want to open my ears more. So, every time that I post, I'll put up the picture(s) and the name of the album(s) that I've listened to and give it a rating and a quick review, so that all of you who read this blog can find some more music that you may like.
That's all for today. Take care.
