Well Hullo Thur

It's been a while, and while that's my fault, I am not going to apologize for it. It's a well known fact that Internet speakers (or "interspeaknetterkers", to use the "hip lingo" of "young ones" "these days" "") are like wild animals in that they can scent your fear, and will annihilate you once it has detected. I mean, just look at AOL.
Before I wander off on another tangent, and that almost certainly will occur, I'd like to introduce the central topic of Today. I sometimes read the blogs of my beloved spawn siblings (notice that I have not included Evan on this list because he does not have a blog [this is my subtle way of telling Evan he should go make a blag, and write things on it to entertain me like the dancing capuchin monkey that I happen to know is his totem creature{GO GET A BLOG EVAN YOU HOBO}]), and it occured to me that two of them were both sounding super motivated and stuff, and I happen to know that one of my other sisters is also super motivated with her super cooking, while only one of them sounded as confused by things as I am. Maybe it's because she lives in Utah (I know I would be confused).
Anyway, my own bewilderment stems from the fact that recently I've been spending unhealthy amounts of time working on scholarships recently, and A) I really, really hate the scholarship process, and B) I know way less about my future goals than I would like to admit.
I mean, I know that I want to graduate, then get my Associate's degree at NC State in Computer Information Systems, and then I want to go on my mission, and then I want to... Things. Also words.
This wouldn't bother me much, except that scholarship committees really, really, REALLY love learning about my future. Am I some kind of superentrepenuer? ...Kind of, I guess? I mean, I guess could run my own company, but it's not what I would describe as a burning passion. Or something I want to do at all. Am I super motivated for my eventual super career? Kah-ree-ar? what is this kahrear that you are speak of? Are you a super motivated super learner? YES! Yes, I am that. I like to learn things. Put that one on my check list. Am I willing and ready to write a couple of hundred (thousand) essays to reach my goal of an amorphous, undecided future? Not really, no. Too bad for me, I get to do that anyway. I just feel uncomfortable telling people about how pumped I am to get my Bachelor's in the supertechwizardmaster field so that I can eventually reach my goal of fixing the snot out of EVERY COMPUTER EVER, and possibly also fighting bears. Maybe Computerbears (cyberweasels, even). I hate to admit it, but I am not actually that pumped about getting a career some day. I don't like working, I like learning. Learning is my thing. I want to go to college because I have a passion for book smarts.
That's pretty much it.

And now, because I am a loving (albeit neglectful) blog poster guy person adjective, I am going to
PUMP

YOU UP!

With music. I am pretty fond of it, and while most of you have probably heard a lot of it before, listen to it again. It is good music. First up: Bishop Allen. This is an indie group that I was introduced to by the previously mentioned itinerant hobo, Ervin. Those of you who have Buzz, a handy feature recently released by Google (which Evan ALSO doesn't have, possibly because cardboard boxes don't have internet access), will already know that I am a pretty big fan of Bishop Allen. Here are some songs by them. Most of these are repeats of my Buzz buzz, but they are all good so listen to them again. Next up is the Aquabats! I first learned of The Best Band in The World from Meggan, who at the time was a worldly something-older-than-me visiting from College, bearing gifts of Ska, TMBG, and A Capella. I was enraptured by all three, especially this one A Capella anthology she had (Scottish Spring anyone?), which was listened to until its surface was scratched like a well used ice rink that hadn't been visited by a Zamboni in years (me and my young brood companions were not kind to CD's in the old days). Anyway, after Meggan abandoned me to wend her way to more fruitful pastures, my interest in music waned and didn't reawaken until years later, when I found out that A) The internet is a thing that exists; and B) Youtube has every song ever. At all. Seriously, all of them. And that led to a renaissance of discovery, including, recently, the Aquabats. They are probably my favorite Ska band, and ska is awesome, so go check out their stuff. Also, here are some other songs that I am too lazy to write descriptions for. I have eclectic taste in music.

Lastly, have a good day, or night, or whatever time it is wherever you read this, and go check out Jonathan Coulton, because he is awesome but I don't want to spend even more time linking to him because I have spent a lot of time on this already. And finally, one more link: The whale song by Modest Mouse. It has arguably the most surreal music video I've ever seen, and I LOVE IT. Awesome

Hey you Guys (Gals?)

Hey, long time no post.

Which is my fault.

Let's let bygones be bygones, ok?

Anyway, this is kind of depressing, because I'm going to be going on hiatus soon. By which I mean a month ago. Which kind of sucks. As for reasons, it's mainly laziness. I was never overly dedicated to this project to begin with, and I just started running out of things to talk about. Honestly, I've always thought that was impossible, but.... it's not. So yeah.

Also, I've had a lot of school, the aliens are holding my loved ones hostage, I'm scouting out colleges and jobs... there's just a lot on my plate.

basically, I'm switching the update schedule to its original format, which is "Whenever I feel like it, and my fans can go choke on their anger vomit." Love yall!

Expect an update next..... time.
