you might sleep,

this weekend was thought provoking.
i've become overwhelmed by an enormous feeling of change. this thought that everything in life changes and moves on regardless of whether you want it to or not. and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

like frost said, nothing gold can stay.

this part of life hard. i'm stuck in the middle of fighting like mad to hold on to anything that was gold when i was a boy, but i'm having to become a man at the same time. my head and heart are being pulled like rope in a tug of war between the two.
it's hard to see friends come and go. relationships that were good are now gone. people change and move on.

but, there's also this sharp contrast to that. it is hopeful and says that,
to every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven.

so even though things change and move on, there is a purpose to it. it's hard for me to understand, but am i supposed to? is it okay to hold on to things, or do i let them go? do i really want to stay 18 forever or am i just remembering everything better than it actually was?

how do you stay gold ponyboy?

i know change is good, but it hurts like hell.
c'est la vie?

I hate my education classes. I like the idea of teaching, but all this work we do is bogus. It's all busywork.
I don't know if they know this, but...
I DON'T PAY STUPID HIGH TUITION FEES TO DO FUCKING BUSYWORK!

anyway...i'm excited about going to indy this weekend and hanging will molllllllllllllly

should be fun.
spring break hurry the hell up

god i want out of this stupid class

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 06:05:24 GMT

so this is kinda random but its whatev
my teaching classes are so so so frustrating to me because i feel like all it is is just busy work that i dont need to be doing. i cant stand the fact that i have to do ridiculous homework that wont ever help me in teaching. i feel like it is very hard to teach people how to be a teacher.
in my book, you either have it or you dont. sure you can instruct people on maybe what they can do to be a better teacher or how they can do certain aspects of teaching better, but its so frustrating to see what will eventually be teachers that may eventually teach my children. its very scary. i dont want some of these people to be instructing my children.
i dont understand how teaching is such an easy profession for someone to be able to do and its a drag that teachers arent held to a higher standard. but with that, i think they should be rewarded for the better job they do. so many people do it for the wrong reasons and its these people im supposed to trust my children with? i wouldnt trust some of them to babysit my dog.
i dunno...
frustrating
im happy that its not what i want to do full time for a career or i think i would kill myself...

by the way, new found glory is going to be in indianapolis on may 5th and im gonna try my hardest to go
i think itd be real real fun
i love new found glory lots...

speaking of what else i love when it comes to music, two words...

hip-hop

its really become one of my true passions. i love quality hip hop just as much as i love anything else. it kinda makes me a nerd cause im probably not the posterboy for a hip-hop head but its so damn good
if you ever need suggestions, holla at your boy...

another random thing,
i cant get enough of watching the british house of commons when they play it on c-span. its really fascinating to watch another system of government do their thing. especially because the british parliament is really funny and entertaining.

i guess thats about it for now. happy about getting tickets for coldplay in july so im gettin pumped about that.
much love,
Aaron

came across this in my old stuff today
really surprisingly good quality considering emilie's camera wasn't real good
and sorry about the annoying girl screaming off to the left
she was kind of a bummer
but...
it was one of the best concerts ive been to and a truly incredible show
and i know some of you were there

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:10:27 GMT

life is good...

for lots of reasons...

but especially this...

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:28:21 GMT

its been a really rough last couple of weeks for me

love is tough. its amazing that something that isnt a physically tangible thing can make anyone feel so dreadful.

i dont know the real reason im putting this on here. i dunno...maybe its just best to write everything out

dont get me wrong, i hurt, but im doing okay too...

you gotta be strong and you gotta be tough son nah mean?

but anyways, if anyone has any ideas to feel better holla at me

its just tough being away from home during a time like this you know?

any advice is much appreciated

much love,
aaron

im a bit frustrated after having my intellect insulted

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:09:10 GMT

okay so heres the deal...
i know know know know know know that voting is really important.
i got that.
i know that i am already registered to vote.
i know that people who truly care, already have registered by now
i know that yes jonah hill from superbad, you are funny.
i know that every single person on this is superbly talented (minus you sarah silverman, you're just a superb bitch)
but really? do you honestly think that you all have that much sway?
you're kidding right? you're that important?
oh wait...youre not?
leave me the fuck alone then...
you wasted five minutes of my life proving that you are all assholes.

i will vote
not because you told me to
not because of some gimmick sarcastic video
not because its the cool thing to do
im gonna vote because its what i want to do
go make movies or something
stick to that
its what youre good at...(except you sarah silverman...you can just die)

i thought this could be cool

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 07:43:23 GMT

alright so heres what im gonna do and you should too...

a song or two for each of these (its just songs that seem like they go with each one)
it takes some work, but its kinda fun

childhood-late childhood
wild pack of family dogs by modest mouse-this song has a childish kinda vibe i think
safety dance by men without hats-i dont know why i picked this one for this category besides that i wanna do the safety dance

late childhood to early/mid-teens
whats my age again by blink 182-is there really any better song or band for that matter that is middle school/13-16?
move along by all american rejects-this is for everyones first crush that broke your heart

mid-teens to late teens
the adventure by angels and airwaves-yeah i couldnt not have this song on here so what. i really feel like it captures the whole graduating high school and moving on with your life thing perfectly.
free fallin' by tom petty- this song actually is that feeling of everything being exactly alright, even if its not
soco amaretto lime by brand new- the line "im gonna stay 18 forever" says it all

20s
in the music by the roots-this songs about life being hard and the real world being fucked up. kinda sucks having to grow up
all along the watchtower by jimi hendrix- i think the chaos this songs brings through the guitars bass and drums remind of this time.
ms. jackson by outkast- never meant to make your daughter cry, i apologized a trillion times

30's
gong by sigur ros-i dont really know why, but i feel like this one just fits maybe
waiting on the world to change by john mayer-pretty soon this generation is gonna be in charge of shit and i think it just kinda has a timid 30's feel somehow
get by remix by mos def talib kweli kanye west jay z and busta rhymes-shits rough nowadays

midlife
beach chair by jay-z ft. chris martin- this song is very midlife to me. jigga is starting to think that someday the things he did in his youth are gonna catch up to him. i really think he sounds scared.
dazed and confused by led zeppelin- again, i think this song has a frightened feel and it just fits right i think

50's/60's
time by pink floyd-you certainly arent getting any younger and time doesnt stop for anyone
so damn lucky by dave matthews-i really like his delivery of the lyrics. it talks about how good little things are and how lucky it is to feel things
snow by the red hot chili peppers-this might go better younger, but i think it works well here too

retirement sorta age
til' kingdom come by coldplay- id like to think that this is what its like to be married to someone your entire life and still love them just as much as you used to
arizona by kings of leon-a very relaxed song that just feels like its time to relax after working

end of life
blame it on the tetons by modest mouse-everyones a building burning with no one to put the fire out
23 by jimmy eat world- something about this song.i love the song but it just seems okay right here
hurt by johnny cash- cash sounds like hes in such pain. i pray to god that this isnt what it feels like when its getting time to die.

anyways...that was long enough, but if you made it here, youre pretty much obliged to do it yourself now...

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 05:04:35 GMT

i
feel
like
dying

(check this song out...its definitely not new, and i dont really care for weezy that much, but this song is damn good)

also, its got some major backtracking
look that up too
gives me tha willies

this is neat...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University Police responded to an incident of an 18-year-old-male student being cut with a sharp edged weapon as he was walking with a group along 17th Street at Woodlawn Avenue in Bloomington at approximately 12:30 a.m., Saturday (Sept. 6).
The three females and two males in the group were all IU Bloomington students, 18- and 19-years-old, and were walking back to their residence halls.
Officers spoke to all members of the group who said that the subject described below approached them from behind and started waving a sharp-edged weapon at them. The primary victim sustained a four-inch cut to the front of his neck and two of females received a superficial cut to their faces and the suspect left, running in a southeasterly direction.
The male victim was transported to the Bloomington Hospital and was treated and released at approximately 4:15 a.m. The females did not require medical treatment and had left the area before police arrived but were contacted at their dorms.
SUSPECT:
White male, 5'9" to 6'2" slim build, wearing a yellow t-shirt, blue jeans and a white hooded sweat shirt.
Officers from Indiana University and the Indiana State Police searched the area for the suspect with negative results. If anyone believes they may know the identity of the suspect or have information concerning this incident, they are asked to call the IU Police Department at 812-855-4111 and speak to an investigator.
A cautionary e-mail and text message was sent to all students, faculty and staff of IU Bloomington shortly after 5:00 a.m.

I didn't get that e-mail/text message...

oh m.i.a. you make my heart flutter...

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:32:46 GMT

me and this song know how to get down...

i know this song isnt really that new and m.i.a. has been around awhile
but i lub it
a lot

in other news...
two main things have been really pissing me off lately
1.) with all this RNC brouhaha, ive been watching a lot of the speeches and what not
and i dont mean to be all "i hate george bush im moving to canada if mccain wins im voting for obama for president for no reason"
college student like most kids around here are
but it blew my mind how much dishonesty has been going on just to make themselves sound better
for instance;
palin says shes against earmarks and pork barrel spending and she was against "the bridge to nowhere"
$27 million in earmarks for her hometown
$750 million in requested funds for alaska
supported the $398 million bulding of a bridge to an island with 50 residents and 1 airportuntil it was found to be unpopular

mike huckabee saying palin recieved more votes to win mayor of her hometown than joe biden did running for president
palin comes from a town of 9,000 people...biden had around 100,000 supporters vote for him...

McCain says "she's the governor of our largest state and the commander in chief of the alaskan national guard. she's been in charge blah blah blah blah blah"
alaska is the biggest state. its also the 47th biggest in population. the alaskan national guard is the one of the smallest national guards in the country.

2.) the new cheesy bacon tendercrisp sandwhich from burger king sucks major ass

much love,
aaron

hip hop saved my life

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:29:21 GMT

yeah...thas right
seriously the best concert ive ever been to
so damn good
it was unbelievable
you all should have come
i usually try not to get starstruck and all that
but this is seriously one of the people that i respect the most
like he sold out for us man...he is a professional through and through
the band was good
he was good
the hype man was good
i love love loved it
he seems like just such a standup dude
and its unfortunate hes retiring after lupend
oh well...

so good

im going to sleep and daydreamin
beneath the flowers
for a couple of hours
on a beautiful day

much love,
aaron

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:19:07 GMT

well i am iu as shit now
so thats trilla

moved in
thats all that matters

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 01:54:13 GMT

fuck, man!

its time to get the hell out of peru...

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:53:04 GMT

alright so...
if youre reading this now,
you have to finish reading and do whatever i tell you
everybody already knows im pretty much gay for angels and airwaves
(a weakness of mine but whatever)
but there's a song called secret crowds and its been one of my favorites
but the more i listen to it
the more i really dig a few lines in it
it goes like this

Secret Crowds
"If I had my own world,
I’d build you an empire.
From here to the far lands,
To spread love like violence.

Let me feel you, carry you higher.
Watch your words spread hope like fires.
Secret crowds rise up and gather.
Hear your voices sing back louder."

so basically the part that really gets to me
is the metaphor of spreading love like violence
and hope like fire
i really dig that
and also the imagery of it
i love that picture of a multitude of people
literally singing together and just being empowered
by the strength of numbers or something or something like that

but now that youve got through reading all that,
you have to tell me a favorite lyric of yours
and more importantly,
explain why

por favor

much love,
aaron

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 20:45:58 GMT

since everyone was doing kanye shit,
this is the kanye song you should be listening to
it wasnt on graduation but it shoulda been

yeah, thats john mayer

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 19:36:26 GMT

yeah its a little tardy but im home
home is nice. i mean ive never not liked home but coming home, thats a whole other bag
its comfortable

but anyway, our trip was not as fun as it may seem
it was long and pretty uneventful
ive decided that the next road trip i take will not be a mad dash back
it needs some substance
some things to see
theres too much in america to see to not just stop and look around

fyi
if you do take a road trip,
stop as much as you want
who cares how long it takes you
go climb a mountain if youre driving through utah
watch the desert sunrise if youre in arizona
look at the stars in the oklahoma sky

just do the damn thing
get out and see our country
