Whoo! I'm back. Sorry about the long ass wait. I've been wicked busy the last week. Let's see what I can make of this.
Well. You already know that I had to work from Monday to Thursday. That sucked a fatty. I was either working or sleeping. Made no plans at all. Couldn't even answer my phone. Straight depressing.
Well once I got home from work on Thursday, life suddenly got amazing. I took like a million hour nap and got to see Inception at midnight (ILL movie).
Friday night was spent in Ann Arbor. Someone once told me that its the same as Austin. But Austin is a lot better, for the record.
In regards to Austin and Ann Arbor, I think one of the coolest things about college is having like a 15 minute conversation with someone that you know you're never going to come across again. And when you're done talking about God knows what, and one of you has to go, you just say "Good luck." But good luck with what? Getting out of the party alive? The incoming semester you were talking about? The rest of your life? It seems like not a big deal, but to me, it just makes me feel like there's so much more that's stored in that "Good Luck" than what you'd expect.
Yesterday, Michael and I went to see Demetri Martin. It was a hilarious show, and it went for 2 hours. Nuts. The jokes he was improvising were awesome. That guy is a genius.
After the show I went to a party with Jake and Tony that got "broken" up about 20 minutes after our arrival. Weak sauce.
I feel like I should be getting philisophical at this point. But I can't think of much. Oh snap. Wait a second. So Tony and I were driving to Ann Arbor on Friday and we talked about pretty much everything in our lives. "Pretty much everything" is an understatement. We talked about everything. Friends, school, the epic looking National Coney Island in Royal Oak, women, the works. I found out that its funny how much you can learn about yourself in a deep conversation. I figured out to myself that with all of the mistakes I made in my friendships throughout high school, I matured and made them the way I should in Austin. Keeping your loyalty to a select few, so that you end up hurting no one. That's a lot better, than, you know, hurting people.
Back during Spring Break, Tony and I stayed up late after a party, and he told me he respected me for being a closed door with everyone, even my closest friends. I don't know what it is. I like to think a lot, but I don't like trying to convey everything into words with people. My thoughts to word ratio is way off. I mean, as long I don't feel like sharing all of my thoughts will haunt me for the rest of my years, I'll be okay. Right?
Anyways, it really got me thinking to living in Austin for the majority of next summer. What I've learned the most from the summer is that this place is honestly the best, but only for a certain period of time. Say, 2 months. And a week. That's when I figured that its time to go back to school.
However, I leave in exactly a month from tomorrow. All of the things that I've mentioned in previous posts about what I would like to do, they still haven't occured yet. Those are really the only things that are getting me through these last 32 days. I'm ready. I still haven't said those words aloud, so nothing counts.
I'm getting a small haircut tomorrow from Sara's mom. The last and only haircut of the summer. Not a mohawk like we all planned on getting, but enough to get me by.
Also, Mike played some of Say Anything's new stuff in the car yesterday. One song is called "Do Better," which is awesome and makes me feel like I'm in a movie whenever I listen to it. A lyric from it is actually my title for this. And I would post a video of it, but you all know that I have no idea how to do this.
I wish I could be more philisophical, but I guess saying too much be diminishing everything I've been saying. Blah! Glad I got everything out.
Time to go hang with cool people. Uhh. Text me.
