another boring post
it’s a thursday night/friday morning. the majority of street is brimming with partying, but i here i am hanging out in my apartment not really doing anything aside from listening to music and getting sleepy before i head to bed. it’s been an extremely sunny, productive day for me and i’m taking tonight to unwind. at the same time, i have also taken tonight to regain some energy because i’ve been plagued with shitty spring allergies or something along those lines. i’ve spent the greater portion of the past three and a half hours laying on my couch, listening to the newest “architects” album, and doing some reading. it’s a pretty hot date that i’ve shared with some sinus pills and vick’s vapo-rub (aka my saviour).
no montreal for me this weekend… last minute school-related issues on brandon’s part left me with no one to go with, and since this isn’t a trip that i could completely cover on my own and still be able to pay bills, i am in wolfville for the weekend. i do believe there’s some drinking going on at some point, but for the time being, i’m just going to relax and enjoy the days that i had booked off.
currently reading “the pirate’s dilemma: how youth culture is reinventing capitalism” by matt mason. it’s a good read so far and i recommend that you search it out… you can download a free copy somewhere, so google that sucker.
i’m going to do some more reading then head to bed. i’m getting my car’s oil changed in the morning so i want to get in my coffee before i have to hit the road.

it’s a quickie
i finally have internet hooked up in my apartment. this is a pretty sweet deal i’ve got to say, and the place feels even more like my own little home as the days go by.
i don’t really have anything to say right now, but i will direct attention to the right side of the page that has a few new links. i finally caved and set up a “flickr” account, so it is linked, as well as my band’s myspace. i also updated the “buy, download, or steal” page about two days ago. check it out for some good music.
it’s really warm outside today so i think i’m going to go be productive and clean out my car or something… can’t spend my day boarded up indoors.

orange rolls, angels’ spit
so i’m living on my own now and i’ve got to say that i’m really enjoying it. things are quiet in my little bachelor apartment, but it makes me appreciate conversation a lot more when i get to have it. i’ve never been a real big fan of instant messaging, text messaging or anything like that, but now verbal communication means a lot more. for some this would probably be really strange and even lonely, hell, who knows, maybe i’ll become really sick of it before i even know it, but for now it’s pretty nice.
having people over is nice as well, i’ve had quite a few visitors and the general opinion is that i snagged myself a nice little apartment. who is proud of their apartment hunting skills? i am, i am.
tonight i’ve spent my evening post-work hanging out in my apartment listening to some sonic youth and reading blogs. i’ve been reading a lot of tobi vail’s blog lately, it’s really cool. i’m also reading tour journals from bands like the go team (the old go team from the early ninties, not the one that’s big today) and heavens to betsy. makes me want to hit the road, but i know i’ve got too much going on here so i’ve got to stay grounded for the time being. brandon and i are going to montreal next week though; driving up, spending the weekend camping out and hanging around the city… should be a good time for sure.
the valley is beautiful but i’m really doubting what is around here for me. i love the scenery, i love the feeling of living out here, but it really is such a conservative little area. people piss and moan about their homes, i know, i’m probably one of the many (though i make it a point to rarely do that). today i felt really suffocated by it all, i wasn’t acting like myself for most of the day, but i just couldn’t shake the feeling. uprooting for a little bit is going to be good… i need a change of pace, so i am really looking forward to moving to antigonish for two months come july. i know it’s not a big chance, but it’ll be good just to be in a different area for a bit if anything else.
living alone makes me a victim to my own thoughts… i think myself into a corner.
i’m trying my best to keep things moving in my life though. my life right now consists of working, hanging out at my apartment, driving up to the halifax-area to see people, and a lot of that kind of stuff. i spend most of my time either in my apartment or in my car, so i really can’t complain.
four hundred and sixty-six words, most of it rambling. seventy-six now. go me.
