Start of A New Series

So, I haven't posted anything in a while. I've been busy, what can I say? While driving home with one of my best friends on Thursday I got a brilliant idea. I'm going to review and tell stories about specific albums that have made an impact on my life. Since this album inspired it, the first ablum will be the Secret Machines' Ten Silver Drops. Get psyched, cause this is gonna be intense. Hopefully I will get one done everything other week, but we'll see. I want to aim high.

Sam Raimi Returns To Horror???

So this past week has been veerrrryyyy interesting. Just one hell of a roller coaster. Anyways, with the weather looking nice and my head clearing up, things look to be getting better. Big parties going on last night, both neighbors were getting into it. Pretty fun, except for the fact that ever since my birthday I haven't been a big drinker :(. I really don't know why, but I haven't been able to drink as much as I used too. Makes me feel old. Speaking of feeling old, I had a conversation with my supervisor at work about age and how she had her first kid at 22. Jesus! I couldn't imagine being a father right now. Then yesterday afternoon the roommates and I went over to Carson Park to throw the football around, and we ended up near the playground. I looked around and saw all of the parents, and freaked out because a lot of them didn't look very older than us. I remember back in high school, being jealous of all the seniors and shit because they were old... Now, everyone that's older than us usually have kids! Growing old is getting old, seriously.

Anyways, I was bumming around the internets watching movie trailers and I stumbled upon this one. It's called "Drag You To Hell" and it's being written and directed by Sam Raimi, or Evil Dead and Spiderman fame. From the looks of it, it looks to be a great throwback to his old Evil Dead movies. I'm actually pretty psyched. Here's the IMDB profile, definately check the trailer out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1127180/

Plus the new Wolverine movie is coming out soon, and Deadpool is in it. Fuck, that will be cool. I mean, Deadpool? Awesome. Ryan Reynolds? Actually one of my favorite actors. Deadpool played by Ryan Reynolds? Insanely awesome. You guys have a great weekend, I'm thinking of posting something deep soon so keep your ears to the ground.

Chasing Passion

Here I am again, trying to work on a paper, but distracting myself with the blog. As of right now, I'm knee deep in another soc theory paper and it's going a lot better than I expected. Anyways, I've been thinking a lot about things going on around me; mainly relationship stuff. This isn't a 'woe is me, i'm alone' post though. What I see around me is that the happiest people I know are all passionate about something (usually another person). Now, this passion manifests itself in different ways, whether it be getting in huge fights, crying because they're far away, or making sacrifices for that person. It got me to start thinking about what I'm passionate about, and I realized that it's creativity. When a person says they are happiest when they are with someone, I'm that way when I'm doing something creative, whether it be making music, looking at art, or taking pictures. I just need to find that passion in another person. Someone who can bring out that creativity in me, someone who can push me outside my boundaries. It's just hard when you see the goal and want to get straight to it. Passion takes time. You only find passion quickly in very rare cases. It's those cases that hurt the most, but they have the most passion. A double edged sword, just like everything else in life. As a person who seems to enjoy extremes, I see how I set myself up to get hurt. I love that rush, but the fall hurts a lot. After you fall, you can't be afraid of that passion. You have to learn to enjoy it.
