You don't love your girlfriend and you know that you should.

                       You think that she's fat, but she isn't but you don't love her anyway.

So the title of this blog is from a really cool band called Minus the Bear. And i think the last time i blogged was quite awhie ago. I think  on the 29th or 30th of last month. But i've been hyper actively busy. But i'll go into that in a tad more detail in just a bit.

       So the past few weeks have been very hectic, and busy. and anyother euphamism for those words you can think of. Oh so you know the crux of this will be that i'm finished with school for the year, and i'm very very excited. I had a lot of school related stuff to tend to so i pretty much immeresed my self in all the last minute study groups and such. But in all honesty i wasn't worried. If anything i was checking to see how prepared i actaully was to what i thought i was. And i can say that i was good. School is never something i worry about, i know i'm a good student and i have a really good memory and when i have something i have it. I'm just a freak about grades so i wanted to make sure i did the best i possibly could. And i did i'm positive of that fact.

      But lets see Emma has decided to go to Santa Barbara with me this summer. And i'm glad, i honestly didn't know if she would or if it was to soon to ask her. But she brought it up, which i suppose cleared it up for me. Because sometimes i suck at reading the fairer sex when thier not being upfront and trying to be subtle. So she'll be coming in mid June. And i'll be leaving for there in late May. 

    So on friday i saw Bright Eyes live at the Granda theater. And it was a really good show, my fourth time seeing them live. But i had a very bad fever, so it sucked. But i pwered thru it for the most part. I went home after the concert and went home to pack and get what might've equated to 3 and a half hours of sleep before heading out to the cabin to get preperations started for an end of the year party i was throwing the samw night. Lot's of people were coming so i just wanted to get a look of the place before they arrived. But i was still a tad feverish. I was 105 at that point. So i took a few extra strenght tylenol thins and tried to push it out of my mind. I ended up crashing out on the couch until my phone rang a few hours later. It was people that were there to help set up, so i let them in and i just sorta hung back for a bit and tried to guage wheteer or not i should've gone to a doctor.

         At around 7 to 8ish people started to arrive in droves. And everything started to go smashingly but i felt awful i headed to the main room and laid down under the coevers for a good thirty minutes. I went out to put in periodic appearences. And Emma was there so she stayed in with me, and kept calling me an idiot for refusing to go to the doctor. But that's pretty much how i rode out the party. The next moring i made a last minute appointment, to go see a doctor who was a friend of grandfathers to check and see if the fever was all it was.

         So me and Emma headed into town to see the doctor, and he ran a quick few tests. And it seemed to be the fever was the worse. I had this sinus thing as well. So he gave me a prescription to for an antibiotic that he said would get rid of this quickly.

          Then sunday of course was mothers day and i had to go to my moms for this family dinner thing. It seemed the entire maternal side was there. It kinda sucked but what can you do. It lasted awhile, but i bought stuff for her and grandmother. And i left and headed back to the cabin. Which is where i'm at now, i suppose recuperating a bit. And it's good i bought tons and tons of supplies and books and what nots and now i'm pretty much taking it easy, which i never do so i'm kind of liking it.

          But yeah i have a concert to go to. Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service. so i'll talk to you all later.

        Tick tock, your not a clock. Your a time bomb baby, a time bomb.

                  The title of the blog is a story by the brilliant author Charles Bukowski. I love his stuff, i bought all of his novels this weekend. And i've been reading Factotum this weekend, great novel.

         So this weekend Emma and her family went to go visit her grandmother who's been ailing recently. So that left us with our first solo weekend in like about two months. So friday i was wondering what i should do for the weekend. There were a few parties going on, and other stuff of that nature. Kelly called me up and told me that Samantha this girl we both know was having a party and wanted me to come. And i was pretty much indifferent but i went anyway.

            The party was ok, typical of most parties. Lots of kegs, crappy music and people trying to hook up. Some in vain, some not so much. I saw this guy there who i hadn't seen since high school. He then proceeded to talk my ear off about his life and plans. And i think maybe he remembered us being more friendly than we were. The kid was in my Media Technology course. And he sort of i don't know always included himself in conversations and such that didn't origionally include him. And he could never really take a hint, there were quite a few girls that had to be very tough with him to show that they weren't in fact into him. So after i managed to lose him in the crowd. I saw Samantha, who's party this was. She's a very flirty girl, always was. And we hooked up once, and i was like why did i do th at immediately afterward. But to put it into perspective the girl was after me for quite some time. And we were at a party, and me and Meredith had had a particuallary bad break and when Sam started throwing herself at me i was like what the hell. And after that i pretty much could never lose her. Not that i discarded her. She knew tha ti wasn't super into her, and she kept on anyway. But yeah i took her calls whenever she called. But the girl has the tendency to get a tad obsessed. And i'm thinking as she's talking to me why am i at her party. But such is life, anyway. She's talking about how she was just thinking about how great we were toghether. And i'm like so yeah actually we were never technically together. And i let her talk for awhile andi was like yeah so i have to go, early morning. Which actually wasn't a lie, it was very much true.

          I left at 5:25 a.m. to head to the cabin.Which seemed to be the best bet for having an actual relaxing, reflective weekend. But i loved te drive up, it was still pretty early on a saturday morning so there weren't a lot of people on the road. Which is actually yhe only time i truly enjoy driving. I played about half the Bright Eyes catalog on the way up. It was oddly calming the ride up. So i got there and brought my bags up. I put my bags on the floor in the master bedroom, and then i proceeded to fall asleep. I woke up at about 1:00 p.m., the phone was ringing. I looked at the caller i.d. a number i didn't recoginze so went back to sleep for about twenty more minutes. I got up And i was really excited to jog on this trail i found for myself the last time i was here. So i soundtracked my run to Grizzly Bear, this really cool band who makes really cool, lo-fi experimental indie rock. And i got on the trail and just felt invigorated, i suppose it's all the fresh air. But i did 7 miles. Which is a mile over my max. I usually run anywhere from 4 to 6 miles. But i felt great and i could've done more but i was really hungry at that point and felt like doing nothing more than showering.

         So i showered and i put on sweats, which honestly if you knew me or had ever seen me. You would find incredibly unbeliveable. I'mn usually a very fashion forward person. But i was two an da half hours from anyone i knew. And i actaully hadn't put on sweats in a couple of years. I'm more of a wind pants guy. But nonetheless, i was in sweats. And the debate inside my head started. What exactly is it that you want to eat? And honestly i have that conversation pretty much everyday. It's rare that i already know what i want to eat.  I always manage to find a way for Emma to pick the restaraunt without making it sem as though i am. Because she's been present for a ton of these indescive food diatribes. But yeah that's about the only thing i'm not sure of on a regular basis. But I made the chioce to go into town, i need supplies and i venture to guess i'll get something food related while i'm there.

            The trip into town isn't that bad. I'm so into the song that i realize that i'm already there. I go to Walmart, which is always slow torturous death for me. But hey it's here and they have everything i need. And it's so random, but i just sort of take a look at the sheer volume of people there. But i slowly but sure ly make my way thru my list and i ger sidetracked by a few random books and magazines. I buy all of the books that look promising. One is this really cool book called You don't love me Yet. By Jonathan Lethem. And it's a really cool novel about the rock world, it's honestly worth reading i want be able to do it justice with a blurb here. But you should read up on it, and buy/rent/steal it, well everything but the last. I make my way up to the check out, and without fail i pick up a copy of one of the latest soap rags. And it's weird because since about two years ago i stopped feeling a secret shame about watchng daytime serials, now i'm pretty much like yeah well. It;s weird that i could go into a dissertation about the importance of Bukowski in the modern literary and pop culture landscape as i can about the relevance of Stefano DiMera as a machaeviallin so villian. Well, needless to say i'm an academic at heart. How i was raised, the moms is a an english professor and takes pride in the english language and it's written form, and for that matter academia as a whole. And i have no idea why i read the rags at teh counter, porabably because there there and convienant. The internet is a far better source for news about soaps. Bu teven when i have the urge to actually buy one of them i've been in line long enough to actually read all of the  pertinent info. So i pay and head by another store to pick up some odds and ends.

         I head back to the cabin and put the away. And i actaully got some hummus and other estuff at this Thai place. And it's crazy how i hated Thai food at first, but over time i've statrted to really like it. But in any case i ate Thai food and watched some past weeks episodes of Days of our Lives while i did. And i was like wow this week was lame. And i went into the office and started returning a few calls/e-mails. Emma called me to give me an update on the thing with her grandmaother and we talked for a bit. And she told me she would call me back shortly. So i put my Ipod into the dock and i cut the Good Life on. I've spoken about them before. The re the other band Tim Kasher fronts aside from Cursive. And i love both of them. I've seen both bands in concert before. And i sit down at my lap top and begin to go thru some files of stuff i've been working on. And i just sit thee for a moment, and then i get hit with a surge of creativity. And i write for three hours straight and i get a little over a hundred pages done. And that lead me to finally concluding it. I say i'll edit it and make revisons later, at that point i'm just happy it's done. Grandfather calls a little after that to tell me that the company made a major acqusistion that would add almost a fourth to the worth of the company's worth. And i was really glad, i've been privy to the fact that this deal was in the makings for awhile now. And now he was even more gung ho for my internship this summer. Which i'm sure he figures will knock out any silly notions of film altoghether. Kelly calls me and asks me how it's going out here. And i tell her honestly it;s great, i tell her about my adventures in Walmart and we go off on many diatribes about that. She tells me that she might come out tomorrow with her camera to get some shots of the cabin and the surronding area. And i tell her she's more than welcome. I read some more of Bukowski's short stories and i decide to head to the cinema. And there wasn't much in the variety of what i would call good. But never the less. I saw this movie called the Invisible. And honestly the best thing about that movei was its soundtrack. Very indie, very very, good. I owned 80% of teh stuff on the soundtrack. The movie was ok for what it was, i knew it wasn't going to be great cinema. But honestly it ws a bit misrepresented int eh trailers. But it wasn't the worse thing i ever saw.

        I got back to the cabin and watched lifetimes movies until about 1:00 a.m. and it's lame but if you cut them on you can't vut them off until you have some sort of resolution. Even though at their core there all teh same. I watched te very last Nightmare on Elm Street movie, the one were there making the movie about him. And it didn't suck as badly as i remembered it. I went to bed after that.

       So the next day i got up, and went to the pond. I took a swim for about 45 minutes and walked aling this weird trail that led to the woods. And i just sort of sat there for a bit. I took out the ATV for a bit, and then i came in and showered. Kelly called and said she was on he rway and that she was making a quick run by the store and asked me if i wanted anything? And i was like, green tea. So she arrived a little while later. And we took teh cart out and went exploring the acerage. She took random shots here and there and she told me about the stuff that happened at Samantha's party when i left. One of our friends Edmund got got having sex with another girl by his girlfriend and apparently she made a huge scene. And we laughed about Eddie for a bit, which is funny because he absolutely hates to be called Eddie> He's like the names Edmund, not Ed or Eddie. So needless to say we call him Ed, or Eddie all the time. Kelly has thi sfriend that goes to college in Oklahoma, so the girl tells her about this mixer at the sorority house that she lives at. And it sounds like ten types of lame, but we tell her were going anyway.So that's what i'm getting ready to do now. And yeah i'm sure o'll tell you about it the next blog. I'm sure we'll have oodles of fun, which is how Mary Jean the girl who's friends with Kelly described it.

So i didn't have school today, because all of my courses are on Tuesday and Thursday. So today i've done not a lot but go for a six mile run and lunch with Emma. So at this moment i'm waiting to go to a last minute study seesion with people fromw my history course. It's lame because i don't need it. But it's related to the course si i'm doing it anyway. But until then i'll post this quiz that i co-opted from Serena, luvos_united. So here goes.

What size bed do you have? A full size one, i used to have a larger one. But it got burned up un a fire. So the new one is smaller but far better in terms of comfort and look.

Who's your second mom? Well, i don't know i'm pretty close to my best friend Jeromy's mom.

Do you have "your chair" "or your spot"on the couch in your house? Well i live alone so everything in there is mine. But i love my office/studio. I spend a lot of time in there, it has this really cool vintage office chair form the 80's it used to be in my grandfathers office, but i had it refitted and customized to fit me. But it's cool, it's red itallian leather and it's a highback chair.

What's the last cd you bought? I buy music everyday so today, the last two were the new Arctic Minkeys record and Explosions in the Sky, the earth is not a cold dead place.

Do you play music at harmful decibel levels? Often times i do. It's pretty much the only way i listen to music.  But other times if i'm working on other stuff i have it on in  the backgroind so i can hear it, but so i don't neglect what i'm doing.

iTunes or Windows Media Player? I have both but i only use iTunes, i like it a lot better than Windows Media.

What is your #1 chararecteristic you look for in a girl? It's not one per se, but i love smart girls. Grils that are poised and confident and don't need a guy to make up thier self worth. Plus she would need to have a since of humor, i'm very sarcastic and cerebral.

Do you dress for sty*e or comfort? Mostly the former but comfort on occasion.

Microwave or stove? I don't use the oven often, so i guess by default its the mcrowave.

Are you addicted to soda? When i was younger yeah, but now not so much. I'm mostly a juice and tea drinker.

When you find a favorite song do you listen to it over and over? Yeah, but i mostly fall in love with whole albums and play them a ton.

Stranded on a desert island...what one thing do you take with you? Not sure, hopefully some device to call for help.

What brand of body lotion do you use? Jergens, Vaseline.

Should country music die? I like old country but new stuff i'm not into so, maybe contemporary should.

Do you like pump tops or flip tops? I'm pretty much indifferent there both ok with me.

Are you aftaid of heigts? No i live in a high rise. And i used to jump off trees all the time when i was a kid. So no i'm prety much cool with them.

Do you have a credit/debit card? Yeah both as a matter of fact.

How much money do you have in the bank right now? Enough to never have to work and live really comfortably and will it to the next couple of generations.

What is your pin number? Something i would never divulge.

Would you have been obsessed with Elvis? Not obsessed but i still like the music of the King.

How about the Beatles? Well i'm still really into them, especially John Lennon. He has a son Sean with Yoko Ono, who's a very good singer songwriter. I've seen him live before, his two albums are really worth checking out. I think he has more talent than his brother Julian.

Have you ever considered suicide? No never i have a haelthy self image, and i try not to get super bogged down in stress, probably why  i llove to go on vacation and why i do it as much as i do.

Are you cool with living together? Yeah i'm cool with it, i've never co-habitated with a woman before, because that's pretty much as close as you get without getting married. But if i found a girl i think wouldn't go insane living under a roof with me 24/7 sure why not. I'm pretty anal about certain things so she would have to be a fan of cleanliness.

Do you use a lot of abbreviations on IM? Not really, i can't remember the last time i did that.

Do blondes have more fun? I think redheads do. Actually i think hair color has little to nothing to do with ones fun quotient.

If you could live in any other country, which one would you pick? I love my family's country house/villa in London. It's brilliant, i lived there for 8 months after i graduated from high school. So probably there.

Is there too much security in everywhere these days? A lot is happening in the world now, so i don't think so. I think for the most part theres jusitfication, but it's sort of a double edged sword. You don't want it to turn into an Orwellian state.

                      All of the baby's they can feel the world, that's why they cry.

                                                                                             The Blow

              The title of this blog is the title of the latest record by the fantastic post puk intrumentalist quartet from Austin, Texas Explosions in the Sky. There amazing, i saw them live at SXSW, amazing. So anyway the past couple of days have been cool, nothing super exciteing happened but it was cool nonetheless.

             So monday night i wen;t to this art thing for my friend Amiee, i've gone to all of her showcases before i love them. I think i've commented on being the first one to ever buy any of her work. But in any case she had a good showing a lot of people turned out. I bought one of her paintings that i really liked. After the showing we hung for a bit. I left to change for a dinner me and Emma were going to. We had reservations at this place that was supposed to be all the rage.

            And once we got there we could see how painfully trendy it was, all of the people there were part of the yuppie hipster scene, which i guess by a technicality i'm a part of to. But yeah really pretentious and i really wasn't into it. I've been going to this type of stuff since i was a kid and they never live up to the hype. And this one was more of the same. The presentation on the food was great but i took one bite and was pretty much like yeah lame never coming back waste of a hundred dollars. So it became sort of an issue with one of the waiters when the check came and he saw the uneaten plate, he wanted to know if i had a complaint. and i really didn't. My grandfatehr says never indulge in a scene with servers unless you hire them. So i didn't want to make a scene. So i ws like not really just didn't care for it. So  he goes and brings out the chef, who is pretty well know and he was like you want to try something else? And i'm like no i pretty much want to leave. So he says if i'm unsatisfied i can have a refund, and he says it with a bit if a sneer. and i'm like yeah i'm good, and he keeps making it an issue, and Emma's like take it and go. But this guy has underestimated me and the people i come from. So i tell him that yeah i'll take a refund and i'll also tell my good friend who owns the restaurant he's a good friend of my grandfathers. And he realizes i musst have some connection to someone because his demeanor changes and he tries to gloss over the issue and i'm like yeah no i'm good i'll just make it know how you treated the grandson of one of his oldest friends. And he goes out of his way to make ammends and it's lame at that point i get the whole thing refunded and the owner calls me and tells me that the situatuion with the chef will be handeled accordingly, as he and my grandfather go way back and he knows grandfather would never tolerate me or any member of his family being slighted. So i tell him it's cool and he tells us to eat at any of his  restaraunts or clubs and this big exposistion. But i was really mad after that, i hate public scenes but i can't be talked down to or condesecnded to it's not in my nature, and i hate having my family thrown into the mix, but yeah things magically work themselves out at  that point

             So we go back to Emma's place and Kara's there with this guy and it's really funny. She's taking this approach now where she's going to try and fgo thru a few guys to make Fallon jealous in the attempt of winning him back. But he could care less. And there out in the open so we just dort of exchange a glance at each other that pretty much says this can't end well. We make small talk for a minute or two. We go into her bedroom and stay there the rest of the night.

         The next morning i get a call from grandfatehr and he's talking about the chef and says that they'll get him blackballed if i want to and i'm like i don't care do what you want to. I go for a run really early about six a.m. and go home atake a shower and go to school. And it's just very weird now because i know it's over in a couple of weeks and theres no way i can fail, my grades have been impeccable so i'm just waiting for it all to be over so i can leave for summer. I

            After school i meet with Kelly at the coffeee shop she works at and we talk about her upcoming birthyday, and i tell her i have something exciting planned for her. We talk a bit longer and i head to my motheres house for her monthsly dinner requirement.

            I brought my sister a gift, a Nintendo DS. She really liked playing mines during the easter thing so i bought her her own, a pink one. She really it.  bought her Mario and something called Nintendogs which is really popular. My mother talked about my borthers impending farce of a marriage to his horrid fiancee'. And  i left a bit later.

              I got back to my building and theres this really unbalanced woman who also lives there and she just starts talking to me for like 20 minutes about the government and cloning and otehr crazy stuff and i'm like ok. I get back in and it's raining pretty badly so i just go out to my balconyand watch it for awhile. I truly love the rain it's brilliant. And  i waited for Emma to get off and the rain to subside a bit and she came over and were making oragami things and watching some really funny thing on the Tyra Banks show, how we started watching it int he first place is beyond me, but hey....

                        Until next time.

              Ok so the title of this blog is the title from a horror movie Eli Roth did a few years back. And it fits because i spent this weekend at my families cabin in Oklahoma. It was a really fun weekend, i had friends over...but i'll go into that in a moment.

            Earlier in the week i got a call from grandfather, he told me he wanted me to get down to Oklahoma to check on the cabin. And since i'm like  two and a half hours from there i said i would. So friday morning i got ready to head out there. I packed an overnight bag and i proceeded to make my trek out to the cabin. Emma came by before i left and i told her about the cabin thing. And she told me she was free and would come with if i wanted? So i followed her to her place and she packed a bag and we went on our way. And on occasions like these i'm so glad for the advent of the IPOD/IPOD dock. My car has a built in dock it was i guess part of the whole IPOD your BMW promotion but in any case. It makes for a better drive. My taste are erratic in the car so i love having access to all of my music.But the ride down was really fun. Emma had all of these know your mate quizzes and she pretty much quizzed me the whole way down. The quizzes ran the gamant of the predictable to the outrageous. But they were fun and they passed the time well.

         So i missed the turn at first to get to my property. I haven't been here since i was 17 so i was sort of going by memory and mapquest. But i found the exit quickly thereafter, and i turned in. the place is on 4 acres so the cabin is kind of far down. But it's a beautiful place. it's pretty secluded. It's has woods neighboring it but the cabin is pretty much been cleard off from the forresty aspects. My grandfather got this place about 16 or 17 years ago. He got the land and the rest of his holdings from a former associate who defaulted on a loan. So the cost came when he had the cabin rebuilt. He origionally saw it as a retreat for the family, but we never really used it. But he was doing a lot of business in Oklahoma back then and so he ws living short term in the city, and he used this place as a retreat to take his mistresses. But anyway about a year and a half ago he had it remodeled because he planned on selling it. So the cabin is kind of sizeable. It has four bedrooms and a guest room. So i don't know it works. But grandfather has never been one for the great outdoors. He had all the trees surronding the cabin that interferred with it getting a cable/satellite signal. So he had everything in the cabin retro fitted to a very modern technological degree. He went with a south western vibe with the decorations but it's cool stuff. Sorry for the long exposistion but i'm trying to paint a visual picture of it, since i can't figure out how to upload actual pictures.

       Anyway we got in and took a look around. I had an invetory sheet with me that i used to make a note of te things that were supposed to be there so i could fax it to him. So after i went into the office to fax him a copy me and Emma decided to take a look around the cabin. We went for a trek around the premises. We took this golf cart that here for traveling far distances. And i have to say that i love the thought of having land, being able to walk and look as far as the eye can see and hace it all belong to you. It's a great place to come and reflect and spend time away from the city. We stopped of at the pond and did a bit of gazing. When we got back into the cabin we ate something watched a movie and pretty much fell asleep. Emma had a short work day and we decided that we would make a weekend out of it.

           So we got up really early and headed back. I wen't home wen't for a run and called up some  friends to invite them out there. I got supplies for the weekend and i wen't for a run. At about 2:00 p.m the people that were going met me at my apt. And we plotted out who would ride with whom.  We took two seperate vehicles, i traded vehicles with my mother who has a larger suv and one of my friends had one so we were on our way. The ride was a lot different than the first one. Needless to say a lot of different conversation taking place but it was fun. I was able to avoid driving because on of my friends Tim, is a great driver and is better suited to long treks than me. The drive seemed to go by really fast this go around. And we got there at about early 5. The first thing that happened outside of getting out the bags. Was the asinging of rooms. There were five berooms and a living area. And 8 people came so it wasnt that crazy to divvy up, a couple of them were couples. WE did the whole showing of the land and the cabins ammenities. And  pretty much told everyone to go off and explore and come back around the time of te dinner thing. My friend Kelly was there and she always someon i like to have around, we have known each other so long that we don't have to hyper verbalize, even though we do because were verbal people. But her and Emma are starting to become more friendly. Which was a tad odd at the beginning because well Kelly has seen me go thru my share of girls and she never thinks i'm serious about anyone. But she sees that i'm doing well with Emma. 

          So we sort of did this bonfire thing the first night it was cool. I hung out at the pond which i love and later that night i had a bunch of business calls and e-mails. But yeah it was a fun night a lot of stuff going on. I woke up before every one else, which is pretty much par for the course. I'm an early riser always have been. So i took this time to go and explore the more wooded areas of the property. And i completely lost track of time, i found this spot that has this really cool oaktree. And i was pretty fasicnated by it. SO i went back to find a camera, and three hours had passed. People were putting together an extended list of items. They were going to the market. So i showered and i took out my camera and went out and shoot some footage to see if i could use this place for a shoot at a later date.

        So after people returned to the market a bunch of people went out to the pond to go for a swim. Me and Emma hung out a lot doing random stuff. And later on that night we had a dinner party and watched a loop of cabin related horror movies, Evil Dead, Cabin Fever etc.. It was a really fun night. A lot of fun had by all. So some people left that night that had work/school. Me and Emma left monday morning.

       SO i've been back a few hours. I'm getting ready to go to this art thing for my friend Amiee so i'll cut this short. Or not i'm not sure how long it is already.
