‘i’m gagged and bound…’
‘…but i will not turn my whole life upside down.’
song: barenaked ladies — upside down
i don’t know… the irony in this song’s been bugging me for a few years. the main character wants to break free from whatever’s plaguing him and not have his world destroyed… but he wants to do this by keeping everything the same.
and this is besides the fact that steven page is a lyrical genius and these lyrics are to a messed up tango.
yea. so things. i don’t have the motivation to really blog, so i shall just make a list of happy things.
-i have been dating jane for nearly two months… yea. for real.
and i don’t know how to put this other than that i am simply in love with her. she is a brilliant gal who makes me smile… and i lose my words and my brain turns to mush every time i try to fathom how lucky i am to have someone as incredible as her in my life. my girlfriend is amazing and i love her dearly.
-maine… wtf.
ok. i’m done pretending to be surprised. it’s still sad news.
-i’m doing surprisingly well in all of my classes.
today, i passed on a difficult singing example in aurals. like, atonal bleh kind of difficult. it made me pretty frigging excited and motivated. rimple seemed shocked that i even put any effort into it because i generally don’t. and in all honesty, i didn’t even look over my assignment until last night. either it was too easy, or i’m good at total bullshit and rimple bought into my bullshit really well. i could’ve sworn i totally botched the example, but when he said i passed on it… i was thrown off… perhaps having a decent singing voice is good for things sometimes.
speaking of bs… i need to stop doing that for other classes… especially ones that i care about that are taught by the very few quality professors at wcu. seriously, very few professors even remotely give a damn about their students… and for me to even think of handing in bs to these very few awesome professors is completely stupid of me. and it’s even more brainless to not actually put effort in when there’s a real chance of learning to be done.
-as a side-project of fun… i’m notating all of the vocal lines to gutter anthems. i got bored with school-related things and thought that this would help my ear out… so far, i have most of litter done and typed in and started on cameos. i can crank out a song every two days or so.. and my goal is to get a majority of the vocal lines… perhaps piano, fiddle, bass or chords before christmas… but i’m having fun and not really pushing myself for a date or anything because i don’t believe in deadlines or due dates or whatever.
this little side-project is getting me really motivated to do other things… like practice. so yay.
and now, i’m done rambling.
the end.
