a quick playlist – 9.11.11
September 11th, 2011 § 3 Comments
today is a day of remembrance.
thanks to everyone who serves in the armed forces for doing what you do. and my big lumberjack heart goes out to all the families of those that lost their lives a decade ago. thank you for staying strong and continuing on in their memory.
a real quick playlist.
so i have to head in to work and figured i had a few minutes to post a quick playlist for everyone. it is sort of all over the place but i hope you enjoy it.
- “transatlanticism” by death cab for cutie
- “elder goose” by dance gavin dance
- “aisle” by the bunny the bear
- “its’ for the best” by straylight run
- “upward over the mountain” by iron & wine
that’s all.
it was just something quick while i figured out what to wear to work. [dark jeans, black v-neck, purple plaid flannel shirt]
enjoy your day, folks.

the near future.

about last night…
sorry about that guys. i realized when i’m in that type of mood [that level of intoxicated], maybe pouring my soul out to the internet isn’t the best way to cope with that [or maybe i'll make a tumblr so i can do that]. i need to just be creative, or get out of my room and do something. but anyway, i apologize and it won’t happen again.
tonight is a new night.
so i’m sitting in my room, listening to iwrestledabearonce and the bunny the bear [go listen to these bands] and thinking about my life. not my life in any sort of depressing capacity [intentionally] but more of my life in a “what am i going to do in a year?” capacity. and i’m trying hard not to panic about it because panic attacks aren’t any fun, but i’m having trouble with that. i just have no idea what i want to do after i graduate.
what are my options?
1. graduate school – yeah no thanks. i have been in school for like…16 years now and i’m kind of just done learning stuff for a little while. and i wouldn’t even know what to go to grad school for [english or marketing/business] or even begin to know where i’d want to go [most likely odu because it is sort of cheap and close to home/work]. i’m trying to talk [trick] my dad in to paying for it because i really don’t want to be even more in debt.
2. get a big boy job – i know what i want to do…sort of. well i have a lot of employment ideas but all of them require a massive stroke of luck and an extensive network of incredibly well connected people that have an affinity for chubby bearded hipster dudes that like writing and video games. so yeah, that isn’t gonna happen.
3. take a year off from school and continue working at gamestop – this is looking like the most probable solution to my problem.
4. move west and start over – i mean…why not? worked for a lot of other people, maybe my luck/demeanor/life will change for the better. isn’t like i can’t ever move back if it sucks worse out there.
so….yeah.
i’ll probably continue working for gamestop and hope and pray that i get promoted to assistant manager while i figure out what i want to do with myself. not the greatest option but it’ll pay the bills until i have to start paying back my almost six figure college debt.

thanks for reading. more substantial/important posts coming soon.
