Let it All Out - Relient K

Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out, remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed
cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're gonna lose it
not knowing all along
thats exactly what we need

and today i will trust You with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow upon hearing what i did
i will stare at You in disbelief
oh inconsistent me
crying out for
consistency

and You said, "i know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart
then things will just get worse.
if the burden seems too much to bear
remember, the end will justify
the pain it took to get us there"

and i'll let it be known
the times i have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me there is strength
and You promised me
that You believe
in time i will defeat this
but somewhere in me there is strength

and today i will trust You with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and i'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

and You said, "i know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart
then things will just get worse.
if the burden seems too much to bear
remember, the end will justify
the pain it took to get us there"

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for You
for You
and You know You've touched my life
when You touched my heavy heart
and made it light

Mmhmm - Relient K

lonely at the glass table.

so i had every intention of this being a serious blog. but that completely flew out the window when i wrote the title. but that was funny at least. well, at least i thought so.

ok, so im coughing now because i just accidentally inhaled while i tried to light a match. it was one of the most UNpleasant things ever, and it really sticks with you. im not sure how that can be nice for someone who smokes a lot. i guess its not the same. inhaling nicotine (thats not spelled right, i know) but inhaling nicotine i guess is a bit diffrent than inhaling sulfur or magnesium or whatever the crap is on the end of matches. so yeah, that was fun. that was after i fought, well, played, with the candle on the aforementioned glass table, which i proceeded to get wax on. yeah, that an i drank egg nog. but thats not relevant.

well, today i watched WAY too many episodes of Friends. first off, this is a rather pathetic way to spend your first day of freedom as soon as the semester ends! well, it wasn't completely worthless; i DID pass my physics test, and i went shopping, and i made a salad. i know, impressive isn't it? but seriously, i really did watch too many episodes of Friends. so much so that i'm starting to talk like Chandler. unfortunately im not as funny. oh well.

so now im sitting around a glass table with a motley crew. we have a writer, an engineer, and me an actor. so the writer is studying for the last final of the semester. the engineer is helping me with my computer and also attempting to help me understand men. and im typing this horrible blog. i guess my first day of freedom really was just THAT amazing.

well, im running out of things to say. the nice thing is that i can sleep in tomorrow, go to work in the afternoon where it will hopefully be nice and busy so i can make a bunch of money so i can buy christmas presents and go snowboarding.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!!

"Love Affiar" - Copeland

reading my friend's blog made me think of this song.

"Love Affair"
Copeland

Fell past a cheekbone hill
To a piece of her floor
The hope of the world
in an awkward spill

Oh she'd lie on her bed
and stare into harsh white light
and think that her heart's not right

'Cause love took her hand like a thief
took her heart like a robber
and the feelings that scare her
become her relief

Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.

In a flash a heart is slain
you have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?

Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tight?
And much too young to be in love
Much too young to be in love

Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.

There are no rules for this love
Just keep your head and don't give up
Like all the fools who play it smart.
Lose your head just for your heart,
just for your heart.

-from Eat, Sleep, Repeat - Copeland

sitting in dane smith hall just thinking.

its been a while since i blogged. haha, thats a funny word. "blogged". anyway. just thought i'd spill out all my random thoughts starting with some of the freshest in my rather limited memory.

first off, this week has been interesting. hello finals. you suck. who thought up the absurd idea of finals anyway? its like, "i know, lets catch the students when they're so burned out they dont even want to live anymore and give them a TEST!" why oh why. anyway, fortunately most of my classes weren't all that hard. i was just dreading a very select few. first, was my accursed history paper. my teacher thought that instead of taking another test we'd have to write a 7-10 page paper on whether or not greece and rome should be considered part of western civilization. i'm thinkin', who cares? i mean, most people not directly involved in history (or directly coming out of professor mcloughlin's class) have EVER even had this on their minds! but no, i gotta write a paper. so i spent a lot of yesterday afternoon/evening sitting in zimmerman library (which, by the way, thank you UNM, zimmerman is the best!) trying to write this paper AFTER i read all the stuff i needed to just to start the dumb thing. (is this even making sense???) anyway, finishing that paper may have been the best thing that happened to me that day. it was a real relief, and to top it all off i felt all good about myself because its not actually due til monday!

well, one down, 8million to go, right? so after writing that paper, oh wait no.... this was BEFORE writing the paper. the day before, in fact. i had to give a spanish presentation in my 201 class with two of my buddies. we had to talk in spanish for 3 minutes (i know. oh the torture) and, get this, it had to be coherent and we had to display a knowledge of the vocabulary and the gramatical concepts studied this semester. im having issues with things like the "past participle" in english, how am i supposed to display a thorough knowledge of it in spanish! oh well, it seemed to go well, all things considered so that was nice to get that out of the way.

so that same wednesday in my theater class we had to perform our scene. well me and my buddy were doing a scene from the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard (which is actually a pretty good play; akin to Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett... anyway) and so we got that out, and actually it went really well. i actually yelled during the scene. like, straight up yelled. it was awesome, and yes, it fit the scene, so i wasnt like being obnoxious.... well, overly obnoxious at least. so then we did our monologues on friday, which.... eh. i didn't really like my monologue all that much so i was kinda glad to see it go, though i wasn't all that excited to perform it.

so i just got out of my spanish final which was on a saturday from 3pm to 5pm, which i thought was a weird time, but im glad its over. im sitting outside the room right now actually waiting for my buddy to finish up so that we can go celebrate. yay. but actually, this final marks the end of a new chapter for me... no more spanish classes EVER. (unless of course, i change my major, but that better not happen, i finally just decided that it really WOULD be theater... eh.) so yeah, i dont need any more spanish classes. yay. how exciting.

ok, so yeah, thats my school run down. fortuantely finals week (which actually doesnt start til monday) should be pretty easy. all the hard stuff is out of the way. thank you LORD! but, on a different note, because im sure not many people actually care about how my school is going. life hasn't been too too bad lately. just, y'know..... life, i guess. here's the highlights

i got a laptop. and that was a beautiful day. he's pretty. his name's William, and he's my new son.

i saw 2 movies. Stranger Than Fiction (which is awesome!) and Casino Royale (which was ok.) i left Fiction feeling like i really was meant to be an English major, and i left Casino Royale frustrated. frustated that i wasn't gorgeous like a "Bond Girl" and frustrated that i didn't have TRUE LOVE like James Bond... course i guess if i had his luck in love like that, I'd want to kill myself too.

so yeah, those were the highlights i guess. not much else happened. well, that final's done and just two more and a paper to go (or is that three....?) anyway. thanks for listening. maybe next time it'll be more interesting!
