This may I’ll be graduating from college with a degree in communication (specializing in media arts) and a minor in film studies.

It’s weird, because I don’t remember making the decision to be a comm major. In fact, I was going to be a theater major, but quickly realized that there would be slim pickings as far as jobs go.

What feels really strange is when people ask me about internships in job markets that I have no interest in; like news stations and PR positions. I’d love to be on the radio, or write for television, but that’s really as far as my comm ambitions go.

What are my plans right now?

Essentially to find a job that i can bull shit through for a few years and play music until I decide it’s time to go to grad school. It might be a bit of a lazy decision, but all I ever hear from people is that they wish they took more opportunities to have fun when they were young, and that’s just what I want to do.

Life goes by.

Sup tumblr… it’s been a while.

I’d like to start this post by saying rock on! Life is good.

It’s been like a solid 6 months since I’ve posted and probably longer than that since I’ve posted regularly, but I’ve started writing music again, and starting contemplating life, liberty and the pursuit of rock again and would like to share that with you awesome individuals.

Heneyway, to start off, my current musical influences are:

Zeppelin

The Foo Fighters

Weezer (obviously… but why not state the obvious? Mostly Pinkerton influences anyway)

Metallica

Social D

Pearl Jam

NOFX

Green Day (Up till Warning of course)

Live long and prosper.

There’s a massacre going on in Libya right now. They’re tricking, then shooting protesters and raping women. Pray for them.

Today a 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch, New Zealand. Lives have been lost and the damage is extensive.

More than 50 killings in Ciudad Juarez - Mexico, over 3 days

Egypt and Tunisia have both set up field hospitals on their Libyan borders

Yes.

Being home and broke when there’s really nothing to do but hit the bar.

And I have no weed. No weed at all.

Decisions come round and round

Hold on tight and don’t look down

Are you everything you wanted to be

You said tomorrow yesterday

And now tomorrows another day away

You’ve got to figure your life out

Second chances don’t come easy

And the second chance is twice as hard

But don’t quit now

you’ve already come this far

It’s time for you to grow up fast

It’s time for you to forget the past

But remember who you are

It’s time for you to make a choice

It’s time for you to raise your voice

And tell the world who you are

Keep moving and make your place

Step ahead and win the race

and prove what you can do

Take your time rock them all

Only losers tend to fall

The futures up to you

You’ve got to figure your life out

Second chances don’t come easy

And the second chance is twice as hard

But don’t quit now

you’ve already come this far

It’s time for you to grow up fast

It’s time for you to forget the past

But remember who you are

It’s time for you to make a choice

It’s time for you to raise your voice

And tell the world who you are
