Kill 'em with Kindess

I had a run-in with immaturity today. It was quite frustrating. I can't go into details since this is a public blog, but I have to say it was just mighty hard to man/woman up and be the bigger person in the situation. I knew I was running into the trying situation head-on and my wise roommate advised me to "Kill 'em with kindness". It worked out decently well I guess but still my head has been running wild. Gosh, could I be more ambiguous?

We have been anxiously moving out of our house in College Station. We have been going going going nonstop with moving things all over...so we can clean...and then re-clean....And now only 2 more remain. Heather and I are the last ones left to assess the damage yet to be done. It is hard but it has to be done.

I have a phone interview Monday with another management company about possibly interning with them too. If it doesn't work out at the very least, I hope to keep the contact I made there open and amiable. They manage some of my favorite artists so it would be pretty cool. To name a few: FM Static, downhere, Shawn McDonald, Dave Barnes...etc. Did that get you excited?

I have been extremely emo all day. I even dressed the part. I found my dream shirt the other day. It is white and has music all over it..like I want to try and "play" my shirt on the piano. I dunno what song it is. The staff is a little bit abstract though so I am not sure if it is actually possibly to make sense of the notes written all over it. So I wore that shirt today with my skinny jeans and new emo-flats with dots on them. It was stellar. My town hall friends should be proud of their influence on my wardrobe. :>)

I need to work out.

I am so pooped. Hopefully I didn't bore you with my venting. Still so much to do. It seems so trivial, but I am really leaning on God to try and get this all done. I feel like I have never been ripped into so many pieces in such a long time. I am so physically and emotionally drained I can hardly think straight.

Thanks for reading. You stay classy.

p.s. I attended the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince premiere and yes I dressed up:



This is my friend Kristen and me reppin' Gryffindor

I Just Want to Dance Like There's No Tomorrow...

Yes, my title IS a Paula Abdul song lyric. I am super cool like that. Oh College Station, you and I only have about 2 more weeks together. My feelings are split 50/50 with happy excitement and depressing sadness. When I live in the moment, I am so excited for what is coming next, but when I think about the past 4 years, often (like last night for instance, and the day before that for instance) I will begin to tear up and sometimes even cry full-out tears. The transition has been eased however because a lot of my friends have already moved on and I am one of the last to leave this town.

Lately, my days have been consumed with working 4 hours in the morning, and then running errands in the 199389897 degree heat. Today I had to buy a new muffler because well, I broke off my tailpipe last night. It had been on the brink, roaring a loud warning at me every time I accelerated or idled. The tail pipe falling off was the final indicator that it was time to buy that baby a new muffler. However embarrassing the roaring was, I couldn't help but wish that I had neon lights and hydrolics to go with it...oh and don't forget a rockin speaker system with the Bass turned up way loud.

I have 11 more days of work. I am definitely counting down the days. However, it is not so awesome that I have no idea where my next paycheck will come from after I receive these last 2 or 3.

Yesterday, after I missed the opportunity to partake in the awesomeness of realizing that the exact time was 12:34:56 on 07.08.09, I for the first time finally watched Independence Day, the movie. I kinda wished I had watched it 5 days ago when it would have had more IMPACT. bahaha. get it?...ok no. But I had always wanted to see it because 4 years ago in NYC I met Jeff Goldblum with friends and I didn't know who he was----the only movie I had seen with him was Jurassic Park when I was little and his other big hit likely that I would have known was Independence Day--which I had not seen. So for the last 4 years it has been on my list of movies to watch. I was impressed with it. Bill Pullman has never let me down. Love him. I also came to this realization. I was thinking that Jeff Goldblum (at least in that movie) has a similar voice to Harrison Ford. Then I chuckled to myself because I have not met too many actors, but it just so happens that I have met both of them. Interesting....Here, the proof is in the pictures...not the pudding like they say:





So what's on tap for tonight, you ask? I would love to go to the Fox with some friends for $2 pint night. I haven't done that in forever. Thanks and gig'em.

Thanks for reading. You stay classy.
