*rejoices about sleeping in*

Lifehouse has a new CD coming out called “Stanley Climbfall.” I’ve heard the track “Spin” and it’s good.

I’ve also been listening to:
Project 86 - Hollow Again
“how will we open the eyes of the dead
when we are hollow, hollow………….

and all along here i was told we’d fall and then crash away, that we would find a hope inside the saftey of this empty place”
…
“forever we will be hollow, hollow again”

Somedays I feel hollow, but then I remember I don’t have to find hope within the emptiness. Hope in Jesus is the best that’s available.

I look just like Buddy Holly…

Today I’m just going to try to catch up on some things. My room needs picked up, I need to get the mail, perhaps call my parents, and some other really boring stuff.

There’s lots of foreign people around this year. So far, I know at least one Nigerian, British, Japanese, and Korean person. This kind of diversity is cool.

Lame excuse for the day:
Odd… I missed a day. Bah! This is what happens to busy people. They go away and forget all about their loyal followers… or stalkers… or whatever you prefer to call yourselves =).

Boring day to day stuff:
Got done with exams. I’m so glad it’s Friday. Adrenaline and caffeine has been enabling my limbs to continue movement during the last two days even after my natural energy dwindled. Nav Nite tonight. Oh, and I got my backpack back yesterday.

Uhm… interesting stuff:
The “kind guy” a.k.a. Landon has a brother with a t-shirt company. These shirts are awesome and definitely shout some stuff I think should be heard more. Modesty rocks. Oh jah!

“Ooo wee ooo, I look just like Buddy Holly,
Oh oh, and you’re Mary Tyler Moore.
I don’t care what they say about us anyway.
I don’t care about that.
I don’t care about that.”
Weezer - Buddy Holly

Went to see “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” last night at the Omaha Community Theater. It was interesting. Given my generation, I never really knew how many of those “oldies” were his. He really did have quite an impact on rock music back in the two years before his death in a plane accident.

“I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died”
Don McClean - American Pie

The music was really enjoyable. Some of the songs were pretty sentimental about women, so that got me thinking in the same mindset and somewhat sad. That dude really could rock, though. And so could the actor/guitarist who starred as him in the performance.

Short rant:
Never leave your backpack behind your chair. I did, and I left it there. Fortunately it was rescued by a kind woman who gave it to a kind man. The kind man called me, told me he had it, and we both hang up. Then, through some odd fluke of three-way-calling I ended up talking to the kind woman when she was trying to call the kind man. Is it coincidence? I think not.

Anyway, I’ve got a lot of homework to do. It’s 10PM and I’ve still got two tests to study for and a paper to write. Had a good chance to talk to a friend Cramer, though, so it was worth losing an hour.

Short rant:
Never buy a low-end PalmPilot if you can afford one that has a rechargeable battery. They eat through those AAAs like crazy if you use it a lot. And if you ever have the thing crash because of low batteries or whatever, it SUCKS to lose stuff on there. Having to reenter important meetings that didn’t get backed up yet or even seemingly easy checkbook info or something is a pain. So yeah. The moral of this rant is: Rechargeable and backup often.

Boring stuff:
Finished reading “The Visitation” last night. That’s about all I did after dinner. Then I slept 9 hours. Today I’ve got a bit of homework to do (”Lord of the Flies” essay and study for East Asian Civilization exam).

You have too much free time on your hands if you can build a harpsichord out of legos. And it works. ‘Nuff said.
