Working Man

Well, well, Tyler's actually spent a whole entire day doing work for once. I'm sure Lindsey would find this very surprising, as I'm always saying how I'm doing less work in College in comparison to High School. Actually, it felt kind of nice. To know I'm actually spending a good chunk of time getting stuff done. I'm usually so damn lazy. Now there's where Kody and I are similar (except that he gets much better grades than I do lol). We have that damn presentation on Indian Women tomorrow in Asian Lit & Film. Like usual, we put all of the work off for basically one day lol.

I'm in the midst of re-watching Witch Hunter Robin now. I forgot how good that anime was, because I'm enjoying it a lot, and I've already seen the show. I know the big plot twist at the end (which I won't spoil), and I'm still loving it. I was thinking about re-watching Samurai Champloo after Witch Hunter Robin. Actually, I'm sure I will. I remember that Champloo was very awesome, and differed from the average samurai anime. The soundtrack was superb too, as it was very hip-hop-esque.

I spent a bunch of time with Kody today which was a nice change of pace. It's cool whenever we get some one-on-one time, because our personalities are actually quite similar. We're really nice guys who sometimes like to put on a "show", I guess you could say lol, but I won't go in to details because I don't really feel like explaining.

Seems like my computer's battery is going to die on me here, so I'll make the rest short and sweet.

I can't wait for Easter Break, surprisingly. My drum heads are sitting here begging to be used (XD gah, I can't wait to play dem drums). I love my drum set so much. I'll be beginning to write a drum solo starting this weekend, so I'm very excited for that. I'll probably base at least part of it off of Daniel Adair's solo, which was the first real drum solo to catch my interest.

Alright, well, the battery's just about dead and I have to call Lindsey, so I'm gonna get going for today. I'll be back to talk sometime soon though! (just gotta get this presentation over with tomorrow, then it's all downhill from there XD)

Til' Then...

One of My Rougher Weeks, I Suppose

You know, ever since I've been here at Susquehanna I've noticed a few things. Primarily, I haven't been working as hard as I was in High School. Secondly, my schedule is not as regimented as it was in High School. Thirdly, I'm not quite sure if I'm having more fun than I did in High School. Now, don't get me wrong, I love college with a passion, mainly because I'm not nearly as stressed as I was in High School, and that I have some choice in what my every-day schedule looks like. I don't have my parents around bugging me about things (which, I suppose, can be both a good and bad thing; I'm a lazy-ass). Since my whole family situation has changed, almost drastically over the past few years, life at home is not nearly as enjoyable as it was prior to these events. To be honest, the only reason I look forward to going home is to play my drums, see my friends and see Lindsey. I do enjoy my brothers' company as well.

Speaking of which, I hope both my brothers are doing well. Hayden's on his recovery from rehab, and Hunter's been sick with some damn stomach thing from hell. My mom has it as well I believe. Hunter's birthday was yesterday, and I had called but it turned out to be too late as no one picked up the phone. I actually feel pretty bad about not calling because Hunter has a surgery tomorrow morning I believe. They're going in to check on his stomach and try to find out more about his condition, I'm guessing.

On a lighter note, Will and I went to the music building this evening to jam out on the drums. He was on the drum set while I played on the snare drum. We wrote a solo groove where we trade solos between each other and then we began to work on our own adaptation of "Latin Lover" by the Cavaliers. I love that piece and I'll take every chance I can to play it, especially on a real snare drum. I think the addition of the drum set will add a nice spin to it. I'm sure Trey would love to hear it eventually. Maybe I'll tape it. Hmm......

It's freakishly late, and my eyes are beginning to hurt, which means it's time to give 'em a rest and get some sleep. Andrew's not back yet, which isn't really surprising. Anyways, I'm gonna get going and sleep. My chorale concert is tomorrow evening, which should be pretty good. Can't say I'm genuinely excited about it, but I do think it should be interesting, to say the least.

Til' Then...

Search for Self? Hmm....

Well, well... If Ms. Erica Reed ever happens to read this, I'm sure she'll find the title to this post somewhat familiar (*cough* Dr. Hubbell *cough*).

Anyways, now that I have finally let go of that old Xanga of mine, the new is ready for action. Sure it's good for reminiscing on old times, but hey, let's face it, it's old news! Now that college has come in to play, it seems like the past is almost forgotten, in a sense. I've realized that I've changed, and quite a bit at that. I know Lindsey has realized it, and now I'm really starting to realize it as well. Now, here I am blogging about it like the old days. :P

Back to this whole issue of change: It's really worrying me. Then again, I could just be bashing myself for no good reason, however I know the change is there and god damn it I won't let the chains of evil thrash me in to submission!.....or something like that, I suppose.

I just realized, this evening, that my girlfriend really means more than the world to me. Actually, more than I seem to realize on a day-to-day basis. She puts up with my every-day antics and my sometimes childish (hehe) behavior and constant obstinacy. I love you, Lindsey! Snuggies unite.

Geez, it seems there is so much to talk about. Or maybe it's just that there's a lot that I feel I should be getting down on this blog. I was talking to Beth about blogging earlier today, and she brought up a very good point when she told me to start a blogger account. I had used Xanga in the past and I had loved it very much so. So, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and start this whole blogging thing once more. Already this has been therapeutic for me in many ways. Now I know I can post a whole bunch of meaningful (or meaningless haha) stuff down for my future "enjoyment" and reference.

It seems it's getting really late. Actually, a little too late. I figure most people are in bed and asleep (as they should be). I should probably jump on the bandwagon and do the same, considering I do have a fairly lengthy lecture ahead of me tomorrow. Gotta love Dr. Ramsaran. I believe he's from Trinidad. His accent sure does show it. I can't really tell whether or not he's a good guy at heart though. I just know him from his lecturing point of view. I have a strange suspicion that he might be a very unhappy individual. Who knows, though. I do get some pretty accurate hunches from time to time.

Anyways, time for bed. I'm pumped to blog about all sorts of interesting stuff throughout the course of the week and the weeks to come! It sure has been an interesting evening, to say the least. Thanks go out to Beth for convincing me to do this.

Until Then...
