Second teacher this year that after missing a class I've came back and they've said that they missed me.

I'm like a little girl.
Copeland was fucking phenomenal last night. It was one of the best shows I have ever been to. I love that band.
So we walk in about midway through the opening act (Lights - a indie hipster/bright color/keyboard/dancey band)and we mozy our way up to about where the sound board is (the show was packed!)and I look to my right and standing a foot away from me was Aaron from Copeland in all of his glory. I was too scared to say anything and I didn't want to make a big scene since he was in the middle of the crowd.
Anyways, Lydia was supposed to play next but they crashed their van into a deer the night before and totaled it. Love Drug came on instead. I never really could get into them when listening to them before the show and it didn't really change. They were good, but the singer's voice bothered me after a while.
Then Copeland came on. There was just an energy in the room and I could tell that it was going to be a good night. It started off with just Aaron singing and playing piano to Strange and Unprepared off of the new album. Then they played another song off of the new album before Aaron switched to guitar and they started playing old stuff. They went right into No One Really Wins and then When Paula Sparks. Hearing everyone sing along was so awesome. They then played a mix of old and new the rest of the night with Aaron switching back and forth between piano and guitar and even played Brightest off of their first album. It was beautiful. They ended their regular set with the song You Have My Attention. I know a lot of Copeland fans love this song, but I would have rather heard something else. Oh well.
They then came on for a one song encore and it was California. Just typing this right now is giving me the same chills that I felt last night. I'm going to assume most of you don't know the song, so I'll explain it. On the recording it is a 5:30 minute long song with the first 4:30 minutes being acoustic before it builds up to a full band ending. Basically, it's epic as fuck. Well, instead of doing it that way, they started off the song full band and skipped the first chorus. I was like, "ok, this is a little frustrating but I can dig this." It then got to where the second chorus is and that's when I started getting the chills. The whole band cut out except Aaron and he sang the chorus while just playing the chords on his guitar. Hearing everyone in the crowd sing along with the words and then have the full band come in just made it that much more spectacular.
This band rules and I can't wait to see them again.

emo blog alert.
I guess I just need to get this shit off of my back.
My friends disapprove, my parents disapprove, sometimes I wonder if anyone does approve. Here's the thing though, I really could care less. I understand that society tells us to condemn things like this, but if you took a second to ask me about it I think you would realize that it's not really what you think.
I realize that it's not "normal". Really though, when have I ever been "normal"? I'm sorry, but this girl is awesome. I totally do not care that it may seem wrong to you. It's clear that in 3 years we will be problem free. That's cool with me. I'm not in any rush.
I really just want to be best friends. Seriously, I'm sick of bullshit relationships.
Take from this what you will, but just know that I like to make my own choices. I appreciate some of you "looking out for me", but I have things under control.

Dear Parker Munson,
I listened to the entire Copeland discography today. I rule. They rule. I'm seeing them Wednesday night with Lydia. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm excited.
Okay
Call me a creeper, but there's this dude named Scott Weber who posts on AP.net and the Gatsby forums and in the staff AP.net interview he just name dropped the Swellers. He's from Washington. Fucking weird.

GOOOOOOOO!
Last night's show was probably one of them most fun shows that I have played in a while. Everyone there was just having a good time. There were no scene bitches just there for the cred. It was all genuine people having a genuine good time.
I just realized that I'm going to see Copeland this Wednesday. YES!
Also, I haven't stopped listening to Razia's Shadow since I got it. Sooooooo good.

We sound epic.
Here's the press release for our headlining show at the H-Pac:
Tiger! Tiger! Makes Its Way Home to the Hartland Performing Arts Center on November 7th, Courtesy of Fusion Shows
HARTLAND, MI – October 22, 2008 – After a three month hometown hiatus, Fusion Shows, the independent concert promoter out of Howell, MI, proudly welcomes home Tiger! Tiger! live at the Hartland Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 7, 2008. Doors open at 5:30 pm. All ages are welcome.
Tiger! Tiger!, the progressive indie rock band with roots in Brighton, MI, will make its anticipated return to the HPAC on November 7th. With a new lineup and a raw passion for making and performing music, Tiger! Tiger! harbors an untouchable musical authenticity. Lead singer, Scott Nelson’s, vocals are raw and tinged with biting emotion. From song to song, his lyrics reveal an abundance of profound meta-analysis and self-discovery atop strong
guitar-driven tracks. Rich in what seems to be a democratic optimism, Tiger! Tiger!’s songs speak of progression and change. In Benjamin Linus and the Rise of Deception, the lyrics read, “So join me in this fight/ And let it die tonight/ For we’ll be carrying on/ Carrying on the flame tonight,” seeming to be suggestive of a type of revolutionary push for progressive equality—not exactly the repertoire expected from a band of 20-somethings!
On March 29, 2008, Tiger! Tiger! self-released its first debut EP, The Law Of The Jungle, and has been touring in support. On this special homecoming—the first in three months—the band will be offering its EP at the one-time only price of $1.00!
Joining Tiger! Tiger! in action are special guests A Big Crash, Boherald, Galaxy Down, and Alco.
Tickets are on available for purchase for $7.00 on the day of the show.

Last night's show went surprisingly well. The one dude there hates us, but otherwise it was dope fly.
Why the fuck do girls wear those ugly rain boots. Seriously. I've finally gotten over thinking those ugg boot shits are terrible and now they come up with something 5 million times worse. What the fuck? I don't understand it.

I have listened to this song at least 50 times this week.
oh darling, i claim
responsibility. thought it was one
of those silly things i was
through with believing. but also
true, i blame this awful fate on
you. you're so young and so far,
what fools we are. but there will
always be roads between our homes
and there's an unbroken line from
your door to mine. and i said, "oh
darling, i barely know a single
thing that i'm sure is true about
you, oh what will we do?" and she
said, "oh baby, now that don't
really change a thing 'cause it
feels an awful lot like love,
ain't that enough?" well, oh
darling, i've got an ugly selfish
streak but i'm trying so damn hard
to be what you believe. there will
always be roads between our homes
and there's an unbroken line
across four hundred miles and two
state lines. there will always be
roads between our homes and
there's an unbroken line from your
door to mine.

Honestly.
I just spilled my Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash all over myself in front of like 100 people. What the fuck.
It's amazing.
I went to bed in a super shitty mood last night. Every small little thing was pissing me off. Basically, I was being a little bitch.
This morning I feel changed. I'm excited for the day.
I'm real excited for the weekend. Friday's gonna r00l. Same with Saturday.
I still miss The New Frontiers.

I seriously could cry right now. One of the best and most beautiful bands around today broke up. I am so glad I got to see them live last winter. They were awesome beyond belief live. So good.
RIP - The New Frontiers
Thanks guys for giving us an amazing album.

Last night's show was dope. I thought we played super well and I could tell some new people dug it. That's always good. Venona was dope, too. They sound so much like BTHATS-era TREOS. That's not a bad thing. Talked about a spring tour with them next year. That'd be dope.
Lot's of hanging out and partying yesterday. Good times.

A new beginning
The show last night was doooooooooooooooope. Not perfect for us, but still damn good. In a few weeks we'll be rolling. I'm so excited.
To top everything off, Thomas from Forgive Durden walked up to Brian and said that our stuff reminded him of The Get Up Kids. More specifically, Four Minute Mile-era Get Up Kids. OMGGGGGGGGGGGG. Then I talked to him later and he told me it again and that that's one of his favorite records of all time. Then he said hopefully we could play together again so he could hear the whole set instead of just two songs. :)
Oh yeah, I also was talking to him about the new album and how he got his guests. He said he knew all of them from touring and stuff except for Chris Conley. Apparently Thomas knew the drummer of Saves the Day and apparently that dude showed Chris the demos that Thomas was working on. So apparently one day Thomas got a call and it was like:
"Hello. Is this Thomas?"
"Yes...Who is this?"
"Hi. My name is Chris Conley, I play in a band called Saves the Day..."
Dude. I couldn't even imagine that happening.

"It's like Christmas"
That was a quote from Ron when we woke up today. Today's the big day. Tiger! Tiger!'s first show back and with Forgive Durden. It's going to be a party.

I've got my life in a suitcase
I got the new Copeland record yesterday. I bought the deluxe edition. It was well worth the $15 dollars. The packaging is awesome and the dvd that came with it was even better. I wish kids still got geeked up about album art and shit like that. I love just reading through the booklet and looking at all of the pictures. There's nothing better than throwing on the album and reading the lyrics at the same time. It really sets the mood.
Anyways, last night Byran came over and we met up with James Radick. We all ended up playing N64, eating pizza, and playing scrabble. Nerds? Yes. It was baller though. I stayed up way too late.
Durden is tomorrow!

2 days.
Go buy the new Copeland record this Tuesday. Then listen to the song "On the Safest Ledge". Absolutely stunning.
Don't look ahead, just run to me
Each step will find the next one recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself
Girl, fall into your life here
If only for a while, I'm here
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine, it's fine
You felt alone before you ever really knew how alone you were
An empty house, a lonely room
The TV talks the fear right out of you
But you feel like someone's standing by but you'll never know
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine
The sun burns a hole straight through your old flaws
If you look toward the sky even on your greyest night
Could you be happy now, with the wind in your hair
And your eyes open wide and your feet going nowhere?
Could you be happy to fall like a stone
If you'd land right here safe in my arms?
It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms
It's fine
Don't look ahead, just run to me
Each step will find the next one recklessly
We'll find ourselves on the safest ledge
Well pardon me, I couldn't help myself
Girl, fall into your life here
If only for a while, I'm here

It's fine, lock all your doors through the night
Keep it all right here, safe in my arms

Well, look what we've found
Holy shit. I finally heard the new Copeland record. Holy shit. This band never ceases to amaze me. I am beyond excited to see them live in a few weeks. It is going to be breathtaking.
Last night was very enjoyable.
I'm glad that some of you feel like you're looking out for me, but take it elsewhere. Seriously.

Let's buy Hawaii. It's only money, baby.
Poker night started back up. lol, so good. I was out first though. Shit, man. I couldn't afford to lose that 5 bucks. Oh well. I'm excited for tomorrow at least. Nate and Ron can give me as much shit as they want.
The office was funny tonight, too. I wish it was longer. Bummer. It is what it is.

Day 1
It's 5:19 in the morning. It's been a long journey, but our shelter is finally complete. We are residing deep within the Nelson territories. Brian, Ron, and I are hoping that we can make it through the night.
If you can't read through the lines...We're super slap happy and decided to make a fort in my room. Yes, we're all 19 and 20.

Ooh La La La
So yesterday Tiger! Tiger! worked on background vocal stuff. It adds a whole other dimension. With this we're starting to become what I envision the band becoming. If we get a third guitarist/keyboardist, we will sound huge.
The best part is, we're finally starting to write as a band. Sure, I'll have the basic skeleton, but my bandmates have been adding so much great stuff lately. Terri is phenomenal at this. I can't wait to work on completely new songs. It's gonna be tits.

Money
I am so glad that I keep getting all of these offers for skating lesson jobs. I am so grateful that I acquired this skill. Getting $35-50 per hour is just wonderful. Can't wait to get a road case for my amp and start saving for a trailer.
Oh how you drive me crazy.
Shit's getting whack.
I just want to muster up enough courage to say something.
Instead I write stupid journal entries.
Fuck.

I don't know what to do.
With a heart so pure
You could fall so quickly
But don't you dare slow down for me
Were it not for hearts like mine
Calloused thickly
You could fall so easily
Don't you dare slow down for me)
You can take everything I have
Just don't leave my side no, don't leave my side
You can take everything I have
Just don't leave my side no, don't leave my side
Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
This moment could be our last
You fall in love and I'm running after
You move way too fast
But don't slow down
And don't let go
Hold me close now, lest I fall
They say I don't know how to love the right way
But you make me feel, you make me feel like I do
You can take everything I have
Just don't leave my side no, don't leave my side
You can take everything I have
Just don't leave my side now, don't leave my side
Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it

(Don't slow down)
You fall in love and I'm running after
(Don't slow down)
You move way too fast
Don't slow down
Don't slow down
Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it
This moment could be our last
You fall in love and I'm running after
You move way too fast
Cause your words hit like a train and I can't ignore it

Don't slow down

I've never been in a position like this. ever.
HAHAHAHAHA
So for that essay I wrote the other day I received two comments on it:
1) please note EMU's policy on plagiarism
2) topic must be relevant to class
Thank science I get to at least do a re-write. lolz. I don't even care which is the funny thing. I may just drop the class. Fuck it. Punx.
Today in my Interpretive Reading class, I was supposed to perform my poems that I didn't practice even once, but I wiggled my way into going Friday. Fuck yeah.

Big Update
I'm gonna do a weekend update. It's gonna be awesome. I'm not only sure, I'm HIV postive...hahahaha. Gosh, I love South Park
So, Friday I worked the Emarosa show. Not a whole lot to say really. Vanity opened and The Years Gone By played second. Other than those two, I had no interest whatsoever. You can read about what happened later that night in a previous blog.
Saturday:
I went to the Dentist. It sucked.
Later in the day I headed over to the BHS Varsity Hockey carwash. I kid you not, it was the first time I ever got my van washed since I got it over a year ago. I'm awesome like that. Afterwards I drove all the fuck over to try and find a pair of mittens/gloves. No success. My hands will have to continue to be cold. Shit.
Brian then came over and we practiced for Parker's punk rock party. It was awesome. Practice...yeah.
Parker's was fun. We played and I forgot words. I'm an idiot. Apathetic Critic spontaneously played "Cars" by Tips and I sang it with them. It was hilarious. Then we played "You don't stop". I love those guys. Dudes, if you read this, "I love you!"
After all the music shenanigans, a bonfire formed. I wasn't feeling it and really just felt like staring up at the stars. I need to do that often. I ended up in the front yard and for a while I was all alone. It was nice and I did a lot of much needed thinking. Then people started coming and ruining my silence. Major buzzkill.
So, when I was done being emo, we went and side and played guitar hero at parker's house. Then we eventually ended up at Allie's house where everyone was playing rock band. Sweet. The best part of the night was when Brian and I were playing pool by ourselves just cracking up. I'm glad we're such nerds.
Today, I went to the Modern Exchange with the band Take Notice. Really fucking funny dudes and awesome music. There was virtually no one there. Great promotion, man. They played first and then two mosh-metal bands played. The second one kept saying, "Come on you fucking faggots. Hit somebody", "Fuck shit up", "Hit your girlfriend or something," and other various phrases. Awesome, guys.
After them Ambush came on. They were fucking amazing. Before one song the guitarist said that the certain song was anti-sexism, anti-racism, and anti-homophobic and that there was no room for homophobia in the hardcore scene. Totally a middle finger right to the band that played before them.
Now I'm at the student center. Homework later tonight.

My month of October has been made!
Just got back from Big Boy with Mike, Brandon, Ron, Matt, Emmit, and Devin. Emmit wrote a note and Devin's phone number on a napkin without Devin knowing. When we walked out Devin received a text saying something along the lines of "thanks for the tip. :)". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh, how I’ve been teething, in light of your misleading;
I am listening to Brand New super loud. Their new album is so dynamic. I love it. They actually play to loud and soft parts. Too bad everything else they've done sucks. I take so much crap for saying that, but this is the only good album they've ever done. Also, "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" is probably one of my most despised songs ever.
Dude
I had a paper due today. I was supposed to do it last night but I fell asleep. I woke up early today and finished it. Now I just looked at the rubric and I think I did something totally different then what my teacher was looking for...shit.

Tonight was good. The rain ain't bringing me down. Someone is playing "mad world" on the piano in the student center. It reminds me how beautiful the world is. I am in love with everything. I control my own destiny.
I sang with AC and was doing scissor kicks out the wazoo. It was a glorious time.
Holy shit. The person playing the piano is now playing "Cutsman" by Horse the Band!

Future
If Tiger! Tiger! ever breaks up, I am just gonna become a singer/songwriter. This man has been my recent fix.
Damn it.
I didn't remember my dreams from last night. I was hoping for two more segments of what I swore was going to be an inter-locking story. Bummer.
I woke up freezing today and my sore throat was back. Alas, with a little bit of hot chocolate and soy milk drenched apple jacks, all was better.
I listened to Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety this morning while studying for my spanish test. It is so good. I'm gonna say it may just be my favorite album of all time. I wish bands today wrote records like it. Sure, trackwise, there are a lot of good artists around today. No one writes good albums. I'll be waiting.

I wish more people knew this song that I wrote...
"In the summer feeling hot and bold
I paint the town; I'll paint it gold
With these flesh and bones I will shine
I'll carry myself with my newfound pride
Honestly I can't bare to take
10 more seconds of this fucked up place
And I have yet to feel complacency
Yet that's not what people are telling me
I guess
I guess I miss you in last summer's dress
Yeah I miss you in last summer's dress
And I feel
I'll count to ten and it'll all be real
Just count to ten and show me how to feel
And I'll make
I'll make a song so we can celebrate
Oh wait that's right there's nothing that we can celebrate"
I'm so glad I'm out of that frame of mind.

This man knows what's up
40 million refugees with no place on this earth to call their home
One for every aimless graduate with nothing else to show for it but loans
And those of us who make a mark using someone else's blood
Our western stain won't wash away, won't vanish in the flood
It's just deeper with each hurricane and tidal wave and war
Oh whoa oh woh
We want everything we see and once it's gone we just want more
I know what I want.
I know what I should want.
Why can't we have it all?
My eyes are on the prize, but it never seems within reach.
I have persevered through so much.
I'm never giving up.
What about the other things I want. Time is all that's on my side. Is it worth it?

What's the point of dreaming if it can never materialize?
The new Durden song r00lz. October is gonna be a good month.
I walked into the bathroom a second ago to a dude with his shirt off?

Think.
"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive." - Albert Einstein
I remembered 2 dreams again...
These ones were about kissing girls.
I don't even know how I feel about the one. It involved Chelsea. I confronted her about her new boyfriend and asked her if that was the real reason she broke up with me. After she said yes and explained the situation (they weren't dating anymore), she said that she was wrong and wanted to get back together. Somehow in this dream I remembered my earlier dream (where I kissed a different girl) and was sketchy about it. I had moved on and was about this new girl. For some reason I continued to hang out with her but told her I didn't know about the whole getting back together thing.
First dream took place at Mac's Bar. It was Mac's Bar to me in the dream, but it was nothing like the actual Mac's. The layout was much different and the stage way bigger. All I remember was Sherwood playing. Then I remember helping them load gear out only to come back in and have the bar tender ask me if I wanted to take this girl (I have no recollection of who it was or what she looked like) out to the back grounds. Apparently in my dream Mac's Bar was located on a farm that had all sorts of back grounds. So when I was walking out to take her back there, another girl came up and was like, "I'm leaving. Give me a hug." So I did and then I kissed her. The dream ended there.
I honestly have no idea what to think of these. All I know is that I'm sick and missing class. I have a huge paper due for my Gender and Sexuality class. That's what I'll be doing all night. I also have a Spanish Test to study for. Awesome. Not looking forward to tonight. I'll probably be online all night. IM me or something. I'll be bored.
