Tokyo Police Club - Wait Up (Boots of Danger) (Live)

Nerdy...

This is how I look after writing my academic paper.. Always questioning what day it is...And trying to figure out if I made the deadline...I take short breaks, but Sunday was insane...I'm feeling a bit tired of writing academic papers...I still got another one due tomorrow...and it is 6:27 p.m. I should just crank up some music and get to it...

End of A Spark...

I was listening to Tokyo Police Club's album "Champ" and the song that I keep playing is "End of A Spark." It has a really good beat...That makes me sway side to side as I type this blog. I was thinking about Saturday night when my friend and I went to the Comic bookstore. How nervous she was because the boy she has a crush on works there. I wanted her to redeem herself from the other night that she felt so nervous and almost ran out of the store when she was turning in a short story for a contest they are having. (She was turning it in for someone else). I'm an awesome sidekick (aww, eating Reeses Pieces) anyways got a bit sidetrack.
On with the story I pretty much didn't think anything about going to the bookstore, I had only seen pix of this boy on their website. When we walked into the store there was no one there only the cashier. My friend walked in first and he said something "Like, hi," but I don't recall hearing what he said because I was just walking in when he said it. I wasn't even sure if it was the "Romanine" boy..(the nickname I gave him, because we can't use his real name). I kept going through the aisle and shelves looking at the novels. I found my old time favorite animation like Akira and Totoro. I felt like the bookstore was way to quite like I was in the library and my friend felt the same way. A couple walked into the store and the silence was broken because they were talking a bit loud and Romanine had to help them. The good thing is that I noticed it was 8:44 pm and I told my friend to purchase her novels, because they close the store at 9:00 pm. I kept singing to her the "Closing time" song ha, ha. Before Romanine turned off the lights like in the library.
The whole point of this is that while Romanine was punching in the price. I ended up telling him how cool the store was for having the only copy of "Alien Nation" comic book. He laughed and I needed my friend to jump in and continue the conversation that was the whole point. But then she didn't then I was like. I see that you have art up in this store and I had to throw in my brother's artistic talents. And then he said that they are going to have an art show and I was like ooh that is cool where can I write to them to get the info. and he was like get one of the business cards, which I did and then I was like so who writes back and that is when he says that it is him or this other person and I was so what is your name (I don't know what made me ask) and he says his name, and I introduce myself and shake his hand. That was pretty funny and then I was like this is my friend and he kinda was like trying to remember my friends name, but they have never met. Thank goodness my friend saved him by telling him her name and she shook his hand. I stopped talking and then my friend picked up the conversation from there. I was so happy for her, because I think they can be friends now. I'm pretty sure he has checked her comments on the bookstore facebook page. The power of social networking sites.

I wish that I can be so confident to talk to the boys I have a crush on and not feel so nervous. I should be like a match maker ha, ha. I think my friend can now go into that store and feel confident with talking with "Romanine"...who knows perhaps they can end up being true friends.

Summer Boy Crush Sounds...

It is the freakiiin hot weather that has me danciiing to a really cool cover song of Prince "I Will Die For You..." Every summer I try to find a band that is pretty neat to listen to and in hopes that by the end of the summer I get to see them live. This summer boy crush sound is from the band "Luna is Honey..." Their music is very catchy. I freakiiin luv that they have such versatile musicians and the sound they make together is soooo in your face beautiful. I know that I have seen many local bands in the past and lately I've been trying to find new music and bands that recapture that essence of why girls want to join street teams to help out. I sorta stopped making things for bands for the same reason why I don't want to obsesses...(who knows maybe I'll come out of retirement ha, ha.) Thank you so much "Luna is Honey" for making music that makes my heart skip a bit faster...yEaH!

Dear Mr. President,

I'm starting to lose hope in the American Dream. It's been two years that I graduated from the University and continue to seek for a job that pays better. Every time I see the news and how scarce the job market is I wonder when this whole nightmare will be over. I'm starting to question the validity of higher education was it even worth it. Who would of ever predicted that this economy was going to be in such a mess. When the house market started to fall apart and families began losing their homes the media was easy to blame the owners for falling behind on their payments. Many people fought hard to continue living the American dream of owning a home, but that slipped away. I wonder if you ever had collectors calling you everyday or every other day asking you to pay them. Telling you, "Why can't you borrow money from your friends or a family member?" And you sitting on the other side trying not to break into tears, because if you had the money fuck you wouldn't be talking to the collectors at all. You desperately apply to every job possible, but no one gives you a chance to prove yourself in their company. You don't have any experience in the field, but your degree is pretty fancy and nice keep hanging that expensive paper on your wall. All I'm saying Mr. President that when you needed my vote I supported your dream. It is about time to help the people that voted for you, I'm sorry that I didn't have enough money to give to your campaign only if I made a few more dollars I think I would of sponsored you.Perhaps, you would of taken a closer look at what the regular citizens truly needs jobs. I think it is a little too late my dad has become one more percent of the unemployed. It is so sad to see your own father who for many years has been the provider of the household having to tell his children he has no job. But that he is still very fortunate that all his kids were able to finished their degrees. I wish I could provide for him the same way he provided for me all these years.
