So I chose my monologue for my acting class based on the fact that it reminded me of Donnie Darko. Because it too, makes reference to Cellar Door.
So then I was like.. hey… I wonder what other movies the guy that wrote/directed Donnie Darko has done. I discovered that that is absolutely none… but… apparently there is one in the works… called “Knowing.” There is not very much info on it around at the moment (at least, not that I’ve found) but… check this out.
Later.
“All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me.
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad World”
-“Mad World,” by Gary Jules
So yeah… Elliot wins the prize. The song was in fact “Sunshines, and I Don’t Care” by Veronica. This is slightly surprising, for no reason other then because I would have thought Jason Brown would have gotten it… but oh well.
I have a new mailbox number. For some reason they felt it was necessary to change our numbers. I used to be 2. It was a good number. We had some good times, box 2 and I. But we have been stripped apart. They have now given me box # 61. 61? what the crap is that? Where is my beloved #2? This is crap. I am highly irate.
However, arriving in box # 61 today SHOULD be my new CD-RW. And arriving in box # 61 later this week should be my wonderful new cell phone. I will then be able to call you on it. After 9 or on the weekends, of course.
Not arriving in my e-mail box today was an e-mail I was told was sent last night. That was fairly disappointing. I hate it when I am told an e-mail was sent to me but then the e-mail never makes it to me. It is like… something I should know, but don’t know. What was meant to be said to me? I have no way of finding out. You see my dilemma.
Perhaps it will be resent to me, or I will find out through other means. I don’t know.
I think I might clean my room today. By room, I mean my closet, as well as this room out here where I am presently sitting. It is rather messy at the moment. That is a bad thing. In case you didn’t know.
I have done nothing but ramble on this entire post… so umm.. i think I’m going to stop now, because it’s pretty pointless.
I leave you with another Veronica song… I won’t make you guess this time….
bye bye then.
” i’ll never ask her for today
she said it best when she walked away
all those times can be
all those times are memories
i heard this once before
she left me wanting more
if ever there was a doubt
you said to me
just remember that love is no guarantee
(love is no guarantee)
the day is over and so are we
the sun is setting on top of me
one more time, one kiss
there must me something more to this
i heard this once before
she left me wanting more
if ever there was a doubt
you said to me
just remember that love is no guarantee
(love is no guarantee)
la la la la la la la”
-“Love Is No Guarentee,” by Veronica
I love this song… name it, and win… my undying respect for your incredible taste in music:
“You don’t know what I like
Everything comes and goes
And I don’t even know
this time is it real or is it show?
I love you, I feel you
Sometimes I don’t believe you’re there
I need you, I need you right now
You wanted to be my enemy
I don’t even know this time
It’s killing me…”
i’m skipping my 8 a.m. class tomorrow. i just thought you all might like to know.
“The workers started at 6:30 in the morning
They got up bright and early to fix the roof next door and
Workers climbed, hammers chimed, pounding nails in double time
Bang, bang, the nail guns rang out, they sang out, I woke up
I combed my hair, walked downstairs, water running everywhere
Just inside the kitchen door, puddles are forming on the floor
Must have been the shower or the sink, something sprung a leak
Grabbed my keys and stepped outside, got on my bike to take a ride
Who cares about tomorrow
When everything is going wrong today
I guess I’m finally figuring out, it doesn’t help to whine about it
Ohh, I should have stayed in bed today
At 41st and Harvard the rain started coming down
I should have payed attention to the gray clouds hanging over town
Finally found under an overhang, sat on my bike and watched it rain
Soaked to the bone, I’m all alone, I groan, I’m still five miles from home.
Who cares about tomorrow
When everything is going wrong today
I guess I’m finally figuring out, it doesn’t help to whine about it
Ohh, I should have stayed in bed today”

I ran camera for the first time in chapel today. It was pretty cool. However…. was pretty nervous about it…. got a little sick to the stomach for a bit.. but all in all was ok. Oh yeah, and it is impossible to acknowledge someone while on the camera….. Just to any of you who happen to know anyone who runs camera… don’t take offense if they completely ignore you while they are doing so. It doesn’t mean they hate you… it means they are live 😉 I had to fight the urge today 😉
I just got back from the library a little bit ago… where Karissa nearly flung her pencil into someone’s eye. Ok, not really, but ummm.. that was kind of the mental picture i had which made it so funny. In actuality it just was thrown over her shoulder and fell from the 2nd floor down to the first floor. Luckily for the innocent bystanders, none of them occupied the space which the pencil fell to.
Anyway, I’m really tired… so now that Futurama has ended… I am going to go to sleep. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. Umm.. yeah. Night.
i have to wake up at like… 6:30 tomorrow… so I can get ready… and eat breakfast… before i have to be in the studio at 7:30. Then I have class, then I run camera 2 in chapel. fun.
In other news… I converted the closet in our room into my own personal bedroom. A special thanks goes out to Kirk who originated this fine idea. Having my own bedroom rocks 😉
So… the superbowl. They sure are… gonna play it… tonight. I think I’m gonna go for the bucs… cuz well… they’re the team down here… and… I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan of the raiders. so yeah. we’ll see what happens.
In other news…. you may want to go update yourself with what is going on with Cheeses of Nazareth. It’s some pretty cool stuff…. 😉 anyway…. that’s all. later.
Update: So the Bucs did well. They have made me proud.
All right… I don’t know what the crap is up with Florida… but…. I’m starting to get sick of this coldness. I’m not in MD, so why does the weather outside make it feel like I am?
On another note, I went and saw a movie last nighr… ummm… “A Guy Thing”. It was all right, kind of. It had some funny parts, but I definately wouldn’t go see it again. Nor would I reccomend it to anyone save if they had absolutely nothing better to do and have already seen every other movie currently out (with the exception of Drumline, which I refuse to believe has the potential of being a good movie. Why in the crap does like EVERYONE want to see it anyway? ;))
I guess that’s pretty much all I can write about at the moment. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
so in fixing karissa’s computer… i have decided i need to tell you all… NEVER buy a computer which has a small case. for the love of all that is holy and good…get the BIGGEST stinking case you can find! It should take up like half a room. This is good so that when you want me to fix it I can actually fit like my entire hand inside it. Oh yeah, and if you have a compaq you should just give it a few good whacks with a baseball bat…. throw it away…and buy a new non-compaq computer. that is all.
Wow… I really feel a lot better then I did about an hour ago. Venting stuff can be a really good thing.
Life can be very frustrating at times. Especially when you hate something about who you are and are trying to change it and since people already accept you that way and expect you to be that way they make it even more difficult for you to. I guess people shouldn’t assume that just because you are a certain way that you are content to be that way.
Is kind of funny though, there is something that is constantly bugging me. I guess first you have to understand that I have a tendancy to dwell on the negative. But anyway, I think I figured out what it actually comes down to. I think that I lack trust that God will provide everything that I need. I guess in all honesty I haven’t come to the point where I am content with just God and anything else is an added bonus. Am working on it though.
Maybe once I get there everything else will fall into place. I wish change were easier… but I guess anything worth doing is worth the effort.
I’ll figure out something, I guess.
Anyway, now that I have said all that… here is a great interview I read earlier today. It is another Pedro the Lion one. Definately read this though. He explains a lot of his opinions and whether you agree with him or not, it makes you think, and thinking is good for you, no matter what media might tell you. [ click here ]
Oh yeah, and as you can see I finally got rid of that horrid picture… 😉
“Thoughts pass by like a river flows
Must be hard to keep track where you came from.
I’d float down stand right next to you
Something is causing a lull in the traffic.
An empire is moving, the grass overgrown
I’d blow this whole world to pieces to not be alone.
This shovel’s been digging all day long
Can’t even seem to make a scratch.
Scratching the surface,
What is the purpose?
I’ll always be stopped by the why can’t I
Why can’t I be you?
And put those hands away
I go through this everyday.
Sounds like a radio tuned to white noise.
Softer slowly softer.
Can’t this thing go any faster and
For everyone to see it’s only killing me.
Awake in this cold cell I,
I just hope you’re happy.
Awake in this cold cell I
Break my body against the wall.
Awake in this cold cell I,
I am my only devil.
Why can’t I be you?
And put those hands away
I go through this everyday.
Sounds like a radio tuned to white noise.
Softer slowly softer.
Can’t this thing go any faster and
For everyone to see it’s only killing me.”
