Have you ever felt this way?
I have been having nightmares lately. It's weird because they have been happening for a few nights now. These nightmares are all I'm thinking about now. I can't even blog about it.

New Song Lyrics
I thought I'd put this up here. I'd like to introduce the lyrics to my new song called "The Liar"
Verse
You left our small town
With nothing weighing you down
You said that you would come back
When you got you life on track
But 2 years later you came
With an undeserved sense of fame
You said you found the truth
And you still have your youth
Pre-chorus
If you said you were the one
Who was as holy as a nun
I’d say you were a liar
You’re just too much to acquire
We’re in a dire need of change
When everything is quite strange
I know you and who you’ve been
You can’t change the skin you’re in
Chorus
You’re all by yourself
Broken, tired, and alone
All by yourself
You always have been prone
To be by yourself
Broken, tired, and alone
You’re all by yourself
Verse
You try to act enlightened
You try to act mature
But you’re really just a frightened
Little girl without a cure
I used to think it was pathetic
I used to think you were weak
But now I find you quite aesthetic
My view on you should be bleak
Pre-chorus
But I’m always contradicting
Myself, I’m so conflicting
I always change my mind
My thoughts, they always intertwine
We’re in a dire need of change
When everything is quite strange
I know you and who you’ve been
You can’t change the skin you’re in
Chorus
You’re all by yourself
Broken, tired, and alone
All by yourself
You always have been prone
To be by yourself
Broken, tired, and alone
You’re all by yourself
Ending
There is nothing you can do
To be more true to you
You say that you’re the liar
And that you haven’t yet acquired
The truth you’re looking for
You’re bare, you’re naked, and you’re sore
From the journey that you took
When all you had to do was look
The answers were all here
But you chose not to adhere
To the truth we once held dear
I will shed a single tear
I have so much more to say
Words that might whisk you away
But it would just waste our time
So this is the final line
Keep an eye out on my music page for this song. It will be good.

2 Unsigned Bands Worth your Time
So I have stumbled upon 2 unsigned bands in the past few weeks. I think that they are the best unsigned bands I have heard in a while. I am pretty positive that these 2 bands are going to make it big. So if you want to say that you heard these bands before anyone else, take some notes.
Band 1: You, Me, and Everyone We Know
You will like this band if you like bands such as; Say Anything, Cute is What We Aim For, and The Academy Is...
Band 2: The A-B Theory
This band is more on the mellow indie/electronica side so you will like them if you like The Postal Service.
If you like good music, you will like one or both of these bands.
Your Welcome.

Some light reading
As I am starting this blog, the people who live above me decided to start with their "Sexual Intercourse". It's kind of annoying, but funny at the same time. I heard the bed squeaking for all of 30 seconds and then finish with a loud "UH!". I feel bad for both the guy and the girl. The girl because it is only lasting 30 seconds, and the guy because when that relationship is over, that girl is going to be mentioning the words "pre-mature ejaculator" quite a bit.
But anyways...
Sometimes it is just hard to read people. You try and you try and you try, but for some reason you can't seem to get in their head. It's frustrating. I feel like I may be wasting my time writing my blog, but I'll continue.
You see, I like most other hopeless romantics(referred to as HR) have a defense mechanism. We all stop trying when our hopes get too high. I like to call this "High Hopes" disorder. This tends to start when the HR gets hurt emotionally for the first time, usually in middle school. They tend to realize that when they try their hardest, they fall the hardest. It is a simple math formula really.
Figure 1
The x axis is the measure of "effort".
The y axis is the measure of "hopes"
As you can plainly see, the more effort one puts in, the "higher hopes" they get. Eventually, if ones hopes get too high, it leads to a very steep fall, in where everyone involved (usually only me) gets hurt.
Now if you look at figure 2, you can see where the defense mechanism kicks in.
Figure 2
As you can see in this chart, effort is stopped about half way and it slowly declines. That way, the HR is not harmed in his efforts, but he never tries hard enough to really "get the girl".
It seems like an easy choice to make for the HR. He either tries too hard and hurts himself, or doesn't try very much and hurt no one. Obviously, he chooses the 2nd and calls it a day. But that same man will grow old and alone.
Now why do I bring this up?
You do the math.

Oldies but Goodies
Right now I have a headache that came out of no where and I took 2 extra strength back and body pills because I hope it would do something for a headache, but I was wrong. My body feels great, but my head feels like it is going to fall off.
So while having this headache, I put on some Ben folds and started looking at my old blog archive on Myspace. I found this blog that I posted in high school and I like it so much that I'm going to post it again here. So here it is.
So I have noticed...
That over the time that I have had a Myspace, people often post bulletins about love. People often post these bulletins in hopes often concealed with the hope of simply "getting some", while others are hoping to meet their high school sweet hearts.
I have often thought that this is very immature, and Myspace was doing a dis-service to America by allowing such immature bulletins to be tolerated. But recently I have come to a slight change of heart. Some of these kids posting these bulletins are really hoping to find someone who they can spend the rest of their life with.
Even in adulthood people still try to find a soul-mate online. Look at the advertisements we often see on Myspace for True Love dating services and Singlesnet.com. It obviously shows that no matter what the age is, people are always looking for love.
Sometimes people are looking for love online because they can't meet that person in their own lives, or they have given up hope on the one who they thought was "the one". Maybe it's because as human beings we are drawn to affection, and when we meet someone who is willing to give that, we are sitting with a knife and fork, ready to receive.
So I am writing this for you, The Underdog. This one is for you. Go for it. Don't wait for an open opportunity; it is never going to come. Take it now while you're doing nothing on a Friday Night. If you have a car, drive to this person's house and tell them in person. If you don't have a car, run walk or ride a bike. Tell them how you feel. If you live too far, call them. Just do it. Stop living with regret. Stop posting bulletins that say you like someone on your friend list and do something about it. I have faith in you.
Have a nice Rainy Sunday.

Business Law isn't that bad
So 2007 is over and I have finally started my spring '08 semester. I am enjoying a few of my classes already and I am hoping that I will learn a lot. Here is a break down of my classes thus far.
Geology 103/105L:
This is a decent class about the weather, so it isn't your traditional geology class. The professor for the lecture is a middle-aged guy who is kind of funny so it is really easy to pass the time in this class. The lab has a professor who seems kind of out of it.
Deaf 160(ASL 1):
This is my sign language class and I am so excited to learn an other language. Ever since I've met so many people involved in the Deaf studies program at CSUN, I wanted to learn ASL.
Math 103:
Sucks Balls...
Buisness Law 280:
This class I thought I was going to hate the most. I was terribly wrong. After the first lecture I saw some cool and interesting cases and I am already loving it. It almost makes me want to become a laywer... I'm not going to, but it looks interesting.
And that is my class breakdown this semester.

So Aiello and Shane has been getting on my @$$ about blogging so I thought I'd tell a little story about my last show...
New Years 2007-08:
It was an ok New years. I played a show with an acoustic and a dream. The dream was not to get booed and it worked. It got some cheers. This is a lame blog. So here is a video for wasting your time.
