ok. I am alive. That's one thing. These last couple weeks of school are going to be really traumatic. But with that said, the sooner school gets over, the sooner I will do the following things:

-Go to Hong Kong

-Throw a party

-Go to the beach and get tan

Hope everyone is well. P.S.- Who gets to go see Brandtson this weekend? Oh, that's me. Lucky, lucky.  P.P.S. I just got this "black" sampler from zomba and it's AWESOME. "Gangsters and thugs, heroes and hugs, some of my friends sell records, some of my friends sell drugs." hehee.

in the lab-AGAIN. I should just bring my sleeping bag and leave it under one of the desks in the corner. seriously. and 2 fluffy pillows. So here I am drowning in papers. you name it, I've got it. business proposal, marketing objective agenda, Vitamin Water advertising campaign, Ford Motors case analysis, spanish translation of newspaper articles, adverse impact lecture (for industrial psych)...yeah. So, on a lighter note...guess who's cool and has the album advance for the new Brandston record? woo. that would be me.  it's not bad for a sophomore album. plus, there are some really good shows in NY for April-June..so I'm pretty excited for that. April- Marwood's CD release party at Arlene's Grocery! yay for Benji! Job update: between working 2 jobs and this sort of writing thing that I do on the side...I've decided I have to be selfish.

1. get new citizens of humanity jeans

2. grow my hair out (down to almost where my elbows are) and highlight bangs in the summer

3. publish 4 more interviews and 1 feature by my birthday

4. STOP drinking caramel lattes

5. save $$$ for Mexico

Currently Listening Pure 80's By Various Artists ...hahahaa everybody wang chung tonight.....oh man. this is ridiculous see related

okay. So it's Saturday night and I'm in the computer lab typing a business paper. that's sooooo sad. No lie. It's just me, my New York Times weekend edition, a bag of leftover M&M's, a couple floppy disks, and some other losers in the lab.  This month SUCKS. March sucks!!!!! Or maybe I'm just having a bad day...like one of those days where you feel like you could just go for a run and run forever? Yeah. Today is one of those.

I am so in love with this song:

You Got Me
(Lyrics and vocals written by Craig P.
Music by VHS or Beta)

Fireworks and sparks when the fever starts in your eyes tonight
Explosions of heat and electricity in the firefight
I’m not bound to anything you’ve said to me
I can’t ignore the way you adore my mystery

And I’m runnin’ runnin’ runnin’ home just to see you alone
And I’m falling deeper into love faster than you know

Believe it when I say…

Say it say it over again
Everything’s better off this way
And when you think everything’s lost
You got me

Tonight I just want you to see
I know I’ve never felt this way
And when you think everything’s lost
You got me

Static and sleep in between bedroom sheets in your arms tonight
Keeps us alive when the sparks start to die in the bedroom light
I can’t stop this even if you want me to
If you could only see what I see then you’ll want me too

And I’m runnin’ runnin’ runnin’ home just to see you alone
And I’m falling deeper into love faster than you know

Believe it when I say…

Say it say it over again
Everything’s better off this way
And when you think everything’s lost
You got me

Say it say it over again
Everything’s better off this way
And when you think everything’s lost
You got me

this semester's classes are SUCH a waste of time. oh well. I'm in the lab writing a speech, er I mean avoiding writing a speech.....I don't think I'm ever going to graduate. so, I have devised some alternative plans for the next year:

1- be a pseudo-bum. I can finally get that boom box and rock out down the street like I've always wanted. I mean....down to the end of the street, and then back into my apartment that is....

2- be a myspace junkie. for life, I mean. I'll meet up with a random myspace person whose profile looks like it would be compatible with likes of my personality, and then get married and have babies. 10 babies.

3- move to london and become a sophisicated uh....whatever they do there. Oh...with Cass of course. We've got the whole thing planned out. I'm the one with the big sunglasses, and she's the one with the big hat. *winks* don't worry Cass...I got yo back girl. LOL

....oh blah. I give up. However on a real note....I might be going to Mexico City this summer..... so I guess that's something to look forward to....I think. Oh and I got a new tattoo finally. It's really itchy right now and I really feel like ripping my skin off my arm. hahaa. that's kind of a gross visual. I think after another 2 or 3 days I should be back to normal. I think.

Currently Listening Night on Fire By VHS or Beta god I love this asian singer. He can really rock out for a skinny dude. see related

back to school....back to school. And I feel like ass. What else is new? but it's ok. this time it's because I'm sick. And it SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSS. I hate being sick.   this semester is not as fun as I thought it would be. I'm still working at AE....I got relocated because our store in soho is burnt down. the new location in midtown has some pretty cute boys. They're gay and stuff but what else is new-- and I'm STILL looking for a new job....oh and two good points for school: 1- I'm taking philosophy which I LOVE LOVE LOVE, and 2- my industrial psych professor is super hot. double plus.  blah. work and school are real boring. lame. lame lame. I can't wait until the summer!!!!!!!!!!!  I want these cds:

bloc party, the new nada surf and anberlin. why am I so poor?
