New Friends, Good Times =]

Just wanted to take some time to acknowledge a few people with whom I have become close. I started working at Friendly's about a month ago and already I have met several people that really mean a lot to me. As far as names go, you know who you are. Basically everyone that went bowling with me :D. It's hard to start in a new work environment and feel comfortable and I really do feel that way with my new friends there. I know I don't really show it or say it often, but I really do appreciate your presence in my life =]

UD's Music Program

Very few things REALLY get to me, but one thing has really been getting to me lately. UD's music program is SO sub-par. I feel like I made a big mistake going there for music. On Sunday, the UD Orchestra played Handel, Vaughan Williams, and Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony. The first two were excellent (mostly because they were conducted by a different conductor). The Saint-Saens was TERRIBLE. I walked out and was just so displeased. The marching band is a joke. The director treats us like little kids. Players are wasting their time running around the field and jumping around and messing around. Apparently, they have time to do that but they don't have time to worry about their spot on the field and how it relates to the people around them. UGH! It's so frustrating!! There's no maturity to that program whatsoever. It's VERY aggravating. I was just upstairs watching last year's field show and it was just bad. No lines were straight, nothing. The only good thing was the music, with respect to articulation, etc. This is not me. I don't like JUST OK. I don't like mediocre. And that's all this program is about. AHH! I just need to get through these last two years and I'll be ok.

I dunno. Leave me some love. I need it.

My Dream Last Night!

Boy, did I have a cool dream last night!

It started off as me hanging out with someone and we were talking about death and how she knew that if you killed yourself a certain way, you could "live" in a surreal realm or something like that. So being me, I did it haha. The only way I can describe it was me jumping into a pit, feet first, and, remembering my friend's instructions, I landed on a rock sticking out of the wall and my I felt my spine start to break in slow motion, section by section. I know this sounds really bloody and morbid, but it's defintely not how it seemed, I swear! God I just lost 3/4 of my friends haha. Anyway...

I had a little blackout and I woke up in what seemed to be a normal environment. However, all the people around me were dead! They all looked like normal human beings, which was the cool part. I don't remember much else, but it's just cool because I saw death in a different light. I dunno I'm not a pothead, I swear!!

School Update

Here's a little update on my life.

First and foremost, I've finally figured out my school situation. I am going to stay on the Bachelor of Arts in Music degree, but this time, with a concentration in Music Management. This program is a 4+1 program, which means instead of graduating in the traditional four years, I'll be done school in 5.5 years AND have my MBA. It sucks that I didn't get into Music Education, but hey, everything happens for a reason.

There's nothing really new in my personal life. I'm still looking for a job, but I hear about the T-Mobile job tomorrow (Friday). I'm not dating anyone, nor do I want to be. I'm happily single. =]

Oh one thing. I did get a new phone. Check it out below!



So yeah. That's that.

Leave me some cool comments!!!

The Stars

Hey I know I rarely post blogs, but I was moved to post one about astrology and horoscopes.

I've never been one to believe in horoscopes, but the more research I do and the more I pay attention to the details and the little things, the more I question myself - how powerful are the stars?

For example, I am going to hang out with a friend tonight and I'm really excited because I'm going to get to go around Philly again and I get to hang out with him. At the same time, I've been really worried about work; that is, the work ethic of people there, the quality, etc. After I woke up this morning, I went to check my Myspace and I click on my horoscope. I'll quote it:

"Your mind is on your work, even if you're not at the office. You are likely thinking of what you need to do to better your position in the outer world. And although you'd probably rather be with your family or friends, don't miss an opportunity to take charge of a situation. This is not about doing anything specific; it's about the creative visualization that can open up possibilities for your future."

Coincidence? Pure happenstance? Or something more? Of course, we'll never know the answer, but it's always cool to wonder about things like that. Another example. I did a compatibility "test" on the same website for friendship for my best friend, Tom, and me. Here's the quote:

"You gain great comfort from Capricorn's stable influence, while your pal is inspired by your tremendous passion for life. When life becomes overwhelming, run to the Goat's side. Their practical advice will seem like an anchor in a storm. In turn, you can reignite Capricorn's inner spark whenever it becomes extinguished by worldly concerns. Both of you are very deep people and take a serious interest in things like art, politics and religion. When it comes time to blow off steam, you find refreshment in hiking, rock climbing and biking. Working on your respective family trees could also prove diverting. If you're searching for an artistic outlet, the two of you might try pottery or jewelry-making. This is one of those friendships where you can enjoy comfortable silences together."

It's funny because that's all 100% true. My favorite part (for those of you who know Tom) is "When life becomes overwhelming, run to the Goat's side. Their practical advice will seem like an anchor in a storm. In turn, you can reignite Capricorn's inner spark whenever it becomes extinguished by worldly concerns." That's exactly how we are - yin and yang - a good balance. We just don't make jewelry or pottery... Yeah. Awkward.

In summary, I need to say that this is pretty damn cool. Even if people don't believe in it, I do and I think that nature is very cool and, well, perfect. Have a great day =)
