Artist: Horse Feathers
Song: Curs in the Weeds
Album: House with No Home
Drown out, the voice that breaks the silence
And talks the joy out of everything
You were found out
and had to walk in darkness
without the only thing you care about
You were burned out
And talks the joy out of everything
You were found out
and had to walk in darkness
without the only thing you care about
You were burned out
And had to stop before all hell broke
And finally took, took its toll
And finally took, took its toll
The fall semester is finally over. The countdown until my college graduation begins soon. A few of my friends graduated this past weekend, and it feels much more real now. It's hard to believe that I will have a college degree in about six months. The job search really begins now, and it definitely worries me. I'm trying not to go into freak out mode, but I'm sure it will hit me like an 18-wheeler in the near future.
I don't even know how to describe this semester. There have been a lot of good and fun experiences, but also a lot of "interesting" ones at the same time. Let's just say, I've come to several new realizations. Although they vary between the positive and negative, they are all for the better. This winter break is much needed. I definitely need to recoop before the whirlwind that is next semester begins. I just try to keep thinking to myself, I'm almost there. I'm really almost there...
Hopefully I will be able to find my place in California after I graduate. I'm in dire need of some quality time at the beach.

I think the most hilarious moment was before we even walked into the venue. The line stretched around the building, and we were finally close to the front. One of the bouncers came from the door and started yelling, "Are there any minors in line? If you are not 21 please come up here!" Slowly, one by one, they start forming a line behind the bouncer. It seriously looked like they were playing "Follow the Leader." It was hilarious. The 21 and over crowd didn't hide their feelings and laughed hysterically. I was in that position not very long ago, but not anymore! Before we even made it to the show, Maya and I were pissed off because San Antonio's highway system blows and it took us thirty minutes to actually get to the venue once we saw it from the highway. We really needed a good laugh to start the night.

One of my latest music finds is the band Civil Twilight. They sort of have an Aqualung/Cinematic Orchestra sound. Even though everything around me just seems to be in a whirlwind, its beyond gratifying to still be able to find music like this.
I can't stop listening to the song Human....
It’s only love, it’s only pain
It’s only fear, that run through my veins
It’s all the things you can’t explain
That make us human
As simple as these lyrics are, they mean much more to me than whats on the surface. Sometimes it seems almost impossible to make whatever you are going through clear to others. As much as you want it so, sometimes you just have to figure out things on your own, or keep your thoughts to yourself, keeping in mind everything will work out as it should. Hell, sometimes you can't even put into words what you are feeling. I genuinely hate this predicament, but I'm realizing that I am only human. Whatever is running through my head: it is what it is. No matter what, those feelings and thoughts are real. No one can tell me they aren't. No one can tell me something isn't a "big deal" when it truly is.
