I don't understand why...

Why is it that listening to a certain song and or artist can bring you back to a certain time and or a particular feeling. It's weird how that works, like if I break out the wonder years, I always get put in a good mood, even though I've been on a classical/musical/choral binge for the past 2 months. Listening to particular music just takes me back to a mood that I haven't felt in a long time.

P.s. I',m going to spain in like 2 weeks, should be awesome.

PEACEEE

Im still fly

Filled in on the bass for my friends band, they go by the name of So Much Fun...

This is what happened, we arrived at the venue and unloaded at roughly 9 o clock, shortly after we recieved 2 coupons each, these coupons were used for the purchase of a pitcher of a certain beverage that is known by many as beer, therefore the show transformed from a concert played to no listeners, to a fun experiece which involved a rather large amount of drinks and other activities soon after.

Yup...

And It's Been a whilee

Alright,

its been a solid two or three months since the last blog, I apologize for my previous actions

considering I have such a huge following on this people were constantly hounding me to pump out a new blog,

"Connor why can't you just sit down and commit? We need a new blog to satisfy our creative need as followers."

To those of you asking this question let me explain my previous situation,

It was about half way through my last semester of freshman year at Iowa State University, my grades had unfortunately turned into a large pile of shit, as did my eating habits and sleep patterns. I spent the majority of my time drinking on random school nights, playing shows with the band often, and participating in other illegal activities. So naturally my mind switched into serious mode, and I made the transition from indulging in all the pleasantries that life had to offer to a serious college student with a lot on the line. The semester ended up turning out alright, grades came up to about 3.0 and I saved my ass from own parents wrath.

In other news, I had a kick ass time at Iowa State, made some really awesome friends, got initiated into a wonderful fraternity, and even met some cool girls in the process. I'm not really sure what this summer has in store for me, but the first 2 days have already been pretty bland, thanks to the dismal weather and lack of recreational activities in mason city Iowa, but It can't be all that bad.

I love coming back to this town for a few specific reasons,

1. My friends

I get surrounded my some cool dudes at home, a lot of inside jokes, tv watching, cigar smoking, and basement drinking occur when I come back home. We may not be the most eventful bunch of kids, but we make due with the situation we're stuck in when not attending school.

2. Kind of my family, and my dogs

Both are good in small doses, but as usual good ol' mom and pops take everything a step too far when I'm home.

My main concern about the town this summer is, will everything be as cool and awesome as it once was? I think overall the answer is yes, regardless of the current excitement state of this god awful town I still manage to have fun with all the boyds.

I think The Wonder Years put it best when they wrote,

I'm not sad anymore I'm just tired of this place, if this year would just end I think we'd all be ok!!!

by the way, the upsides has consumed my life for the past two weeks, give it a listen

woot woot

Creative Juices are flowin

Decided that I won't miss a single class this week, it will be the first week of this semester in which I will do that, I'm pretty excited about it.

P.s. send me money because I am a little short, times are tough and people are really struggling financially, I am one of those people. Pretty worried about making it until the end of my first year as a collegiate student.

P.s.s. Wrote some really cool music last week, lets see if we can't bring it all together this week whadya say???

Men are from mars Women are from hell.

Turns out the distance may not work. I don't know if distance relationships are for me, it's not that I just stop liking the person I am with, it's that my mind gets wrapped around EVERYTHING else. literally, I just don't have time for that kind of stuff as a prestigious college student, kidding, I am in now way prestigious.

So, it's gonna be a rough couple of days I suppose. but anyway classes are good everything is fine. The only complaint I have is that I wish I could fall asleep faster when I am in my small room at the Beta Theta Pi house. I just feel like I stare at the ceiling for countless hours, a.k.a roughly twenty minutes. I'm sure I'll get there eventually but I may need a companion to help me through it!

One week of school done

First week of school is done, and I just got done watching a 3 hour marathon of jersey shore with my roommate PJ, what a day huh? I really got on the ball today and got some homework done. I'm not quite sure if any of it was done right, but it was done. So my new thing this semester is that I am trying to be a little more personable. I have this class where we do a lot of meet and great stuff, and as weird as it is, I enjoy it. Historically I have never been okay with the whole, hey lets interact in class, I always found it unnecessary. But this class is a little different, I ever met some attractive girls. Which is very unusual for me haha..

But yeah, I found that sleeping on a mattress that is on the floor is very comfortable, so I've converted mine to the floor and I am very excited about this new and adventurous style of sleep.

Hopefully it will guide me through the semester!

School School School

Started class today after moving all my stuff into the fraternity house yesterday and Saturday. Pretty excited for the new semester, however I had class at 8 am. Of course I didn't wake up, but I did make it to my 10 oclock class, good deal.

Pumped to be back at school and start grooving with the band again, hopefully we resolve a certain situation, I'd really like to start the whole band thing back up again hopefully the crew is down with it.

p.s. God damn books are going to cost me an arm and a leg :(

The Distance

Last day of Christmas Break... tomorrow I am going back to Iowa State, pretty jazzed about that. Today was very exciting, started out by waking up and creating this blog, then spent sometime with my friend Alex, who's a girl, and we are more than friends. Then I played some COD MW2 and went to work, then spent more time with the lady.

You see, were gonna try this distance thing, granted I'll only be an hour away but I don't have a car at school, so going home is kind of rough. I don't know how it will work, I'll put my best foot forward and see how things pan out.

My friend that originally came to school with me came with a girl friend. They spent every second, of every day, of every month, either texting and or talking on the phone. It's my belief that this certain fella, ran into some trouble in school because of a certain lady. In the end, he did not attend class, he did not do homework, nor did he even try. He ended up leaving the school and moving home to resume school at the semester at our local community college, which is not as difficult nor prestigious as the great school of Iowa State University.

This situation worried me, but I feel I am a little more strong willed than my friend, and I think I'll be able to man it out.
