A wild MEME appears! ATTACK ITEM POKEMON RUN
List ten things you want to say to ten different people, but know you never will. Don't say who they are. Disable comments. Never discuss it again. 1. You're not a people person, you make poor choices, and you can be condescending. That's why it won't happen again. 2. Why are you a bitch? To me and to others? It's uncalled for and its not funny. 3. I'm truly worried about you. You won't give up the things that are hurting you because it's who you are innately. Please learn to say no. 4. Despite your failings, professionally and personally, I do respect you as a person still. But that doesn't mean I don't blame you specifically. 5. I'll just bide my time until you make the right decision... wait a month, and I'll be there. I've read the list. 6. Someday you'll thank me for what I did. Someday. 7. If I had made the right decision the first time, I think we could have been good friends. It's too bad that won't ever happen. 8. You treat everyone like shit, and it's getting to the point where no one can stand you. I'm not sure you actually know how much of a douche you are. 9. I'm glad you're out of my hair, but I miss having you around more and more. 10. If I could choose anyone to be, I would be you. Mistakes and successes alike. | | Sunday, November 30th, 2008 | | 8:15 pm |

Rent final performance?
http://www.thehotticket.net/rent/Don't have tickets to the final performance of Rent? They're showing it in movie theaters across the country. Closest one to Troy is in Plainville, CT. (I'm posting this on LJ because basically all the people who I'd want to tell read this.) | | Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 | | 7:56 pm |
I find it kind of funny when freshmen rant about how much they hate things about RPI's campus. "AGHHHH I HATE EMPAC RARR RARR RARR" "RIBS OMG NO GIRLS ON CAMPUS" "BLAH BLAH BLAH NO OPPORTUNITIES TO HAVE FUN BLAH BLAH" I mean, really? You've been here for what, 3 weeks? Let things happen before you start to bitch! | | Sunday, May 11th, 2008 | | 12:44 am |
A meme I stole from Erin and Buster.
List ten things you want to say to ten different people, but know you never will. Don't say who they are. 1. I always wanted to tell you I cared deeply for you. I never did. I still do. 2. I secretly wished you had died when you were supposed to, but I will forever feel terrible about wishing so. 3. Stop being so emo. You're the epitome of awesome. If I could be anyone else in the world, I would be you. 4. You treat your enemies with warmth, and you treat your friends like shit. After a while your doubts become real. 5. I'm waiting for you to slip up so I can attack. I don't see what they see in you. 6. Break up with that douchebag. There's better people out there. 7. I think I could be that guy. Too bad you're too busy fucking "Mr. Wrong". 8. Stop being such a bitch. You're not as fantastic as you think. Let other people in. 9. You creep me out. It takes a lot for me to think that. Stay the hell away from me. 10. Unlike everyone else, I think you're pretty cool. I sorta look up to you. Learn my name. | | Thursday, March 13th, 2008 | | 10:35 pm |
http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=206903246Maybe that supercomputer WASN'T a complete waste of student resources. Also, awesometastic. We need GOOD publicity here, not publicity over videogames-that-were-kind-of-stolen-from-t errorists-but-kind-of-not-but-were-remov ed-from-public-view. Anyone else think it would be funny if the character's name was Anna? Current Music: Basshunter - Boten Anna | | Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 | | 2:52 am |
Stolen from Kristie and Erin who stole it from other people who stole it from other people...
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them here for everyone to guess. 4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. 5. Looking them up is cheating, please don't. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- --- 1. You're a man haunted by those two most terrible words, What If? 2. Don't shift your weight, look always at your mark but don't stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side. Kristie, Ocean's Eleven 3. Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more. Buster, The Matrix 4. See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky? Or, look at the question this way: Is it possible that there are no coincidences? 5. A wedding? I love weddings. Drinks all around! Buster, Pirates of the Caribbean 6. You're familiar with the phrase "man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It's a lie: man's grasp exceeds his nerve. 7. And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. 8. Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. Kristie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 9. You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life. Kristie, Groundhog Day 10. There is so much to say... I cannot find the words. Except for these: 'I love you.' Number 10 is more of a bonus. I really don't think anyone else has seen that movie. | | Saturday, February 16th, 2008 | | 5:26 pm |
I'm wrong.
Well, well, well. What a strange, effed-up week this has been. In no particular order: Poor music direction. Near class failure. Angry friends. Exciting news. Trips to the hospital for more than one person. Cleaning. Computer breakage. Painful back. Painful heart. Asshole classmates. Bank account troubles. Job retraction. Scheduling conflicts. Uneventful party. Bitching... everyone. Weird injuries. Valentine's Day. RIBS day. Housing screwage. Spring awakenings. Unlikely events. Being wrong. Tragedy. Making fun of tragedy. Songs on loop for three hours. Occult discussions. Lousy food. Trying to be a friend. Union. Excitement. Dispair. Love. Death. Choices. And all through it all, still not knowing when I'll reach that day. | | Monday, January 28th, 2008 | | 12:21 am |
TechSunday
Tech Sunday is over. Thank god. I was honestly expecting this to pretty much not end without massive amounts of pain. Being that everything, and I mean EVERYTHING I have touched in the past week has broken, it very much surprised me that a) none of my equipment broke, b) none of my design broke... really c) people didn't break d) I didn't break mentally I mean, sure, it was Tech Sunday, and of course some stuff needed / needs to be tweaked, but overall, I thought it went pretty damn well. I'm actually looking forward to the rest of the week because my job is a lot easier and more fun now that I have a board op. Hopefully people like my effects. I was so afraid of screwing this thing up. Honestly, I've never really done an entire show before. Sure, I did talent shows and stuff, but I've never had to deal with this many cues or even really making my own effects. I've been asking for quite a bit of help, which at first I felt really bad about. I almost didn't apply for sound designer for EOP because I didn't really feel qualified enough, like I didn't have enough experience. That may have been true, but the whole point of EOP is to get experience doing roles you haven't done before. And there's no better way to get experience than by doing. I've been learning a LOT, and finally the insane patch bay / mics / clearcom / board setup kind of maybe almost makes sense. Talk Radio is a very special kind of show, done by some very special people. If Talk Radio doesn't offend you, you are also a very special kind of person. Have you considered joining RPI Players? Other than that, the people-breaking aura seems to have worn off, at least temporarily. This is a good thing. Hopefully there will be 100% less bullshit next weekend. And finally... Did I strike out? | | Thursday, January 10th, 2008 | | 8:38 pm |
Back to the Tute, and EMPAC.
Back at the Tute. Status: Awesome. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Also, say what you will about EMPAC and it's lack of actual artistic substance, but their current display is simply amazing. They're doing this lighting display on the actual EMPAC building for the next month or so, and it seems to be slightly changing every night. Last night, it was an American flag on the side of the building. Tonight, it seems to just be a solid blue coating all over the building, but there's this rotating searchlight that you can clearly see in the air. I nearly crashed my car driving down Route 7 towards Troy tonight because I kept looking at the display. I really should grab my camera, park on the side of Route 7, and take a few pictures. I really do think it is that cool. | | Wednesday, January 9th, 2008 | | 12:15 am |
Don't give me that look today...
I'm sorry to everyone at Union that I hurt or screwed over last year. I had my own shit to work through, and I'm finally realizing that my actions leading up to and including my transfer made other people's lives harder. Keegan, Pete C, Zach, Dana, Joey, Mountebanks, Golub House, and especially Pete F, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for my personal struggles to make everyone else's lives harder. Please forgive me. I know most of you will never read this, but I felt it had to be said. Sorry. | | Wednesday, December 5th, 2007 | | 3:52 am |
Maybe I could be in love with someone like...
Alright, I'll come right out and say it. I'm depressed. The general plague of depression that appears to be affecting everyone I know is also effecting me. Yes, I know it's beginning to be wintertime, and yes, it is getting closer to finals, but strangely, neither of those things are really worrying me at all. Not even the prospect that I could potentially be placed on financial leave if my loans don't clear by 5 PM Friday is really making me all that sad. Truth is, I'm pretty much just really, really lonely. People warned me about transferring to RPI from a liberal arts school, "Oh man, I hope you don't want women." and all that other stereotypical shit that people say about RPI. Sure, Union was 55% women, but being that I wasn't getting any action there and was still doing pretty well mentally, I didn't think it'd be much of a problem. Well, it's a problem. I'm really starting to feel down about it, too. Seems to me like every other person on the planet who doesn't have an awkward social tic or otherwise spend all day playing videogames has had some sort of a meaningful relationship at some point in their lives. Hell, even the ones that do spend all day and night writing code seem to have had a girlfriend at some point. I've even gone to random parties where I've seen ugly guys with acne that looks like it's going to pop off their face then start doing a song and dance routine lay it on thick on women who are way, way out of their league-- and it working. And the whole time I'm thinking: What the fuck? What the fuck are they doing that I'm not? Am I really more abhorrent than a guy with Mount St. Helens for a face? Do I have an awkward social tic that no one will tell me about? Or am I really just that much of a dull person? And then the conclusion, as I have just come to, makes me more depressed than I was in the beginning. I'm not sure anymore that the depression comes from loneliness. It comes from the fact that I don't feel like I'm good enough for anyone. And that is a very terrible feeling. | | Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 | | 3:32 am |
Someone To Hold v1.0
This was the first version of Someone To Hold. Since then, I've made some minor lyric adjustments. You can often hear me playing the finished version in the Playhouse at about 1 AM. Frank: (spoken) Susie, come over here. I have something I absolutely need to tell you. I've never loved this way before You are the woman that I'll forever adore With all the time's we've had in the past three years All the hugs and pain, all the kisses and tears I know this is happening all too fast I need something that I know is gonna last Though we're only 18, I know this is what I need to be I need to have you here with me Will you marry me? I know the path is twisted and long And I won't know what's right and wrong So please marry me! And all through the wind and all through the cold At least I'll have Someone To Hold... I know this might come as a bit of a shock Hold on for a second, let me give you the rock [ed. note: ring] I offer this to you with everlasting love And may God bless us from Heaven above Will you marry me? I know we'll have to find us the way But let's always remember this fateful day So please marry me! And all through the wind, and all through the cold At least I'll have Someone to Hold... Susie: Yes! I do! I will! I have! I've never been happier and I've never will be How strange how important two short words can be When you say them... Frank: ...to me! Susie and Frank: Will you marry me? We'll have a wedding on top of a hill Invite all our friends, and have our fill So please marry me! And all through the wind and all through the cold At least we'll always have At least we'll happily have For the next ten minutes I'll have Someone To Hold! | | 3:14 am |
For Just One Day
And here's one that I'll post for today, even though I wrote it almost 6 months ago. "For Just One Day" I've been waiting outside for far too long It's time for me to come inside I don't know how to go that way No matter how hard I've tried To Hide And I don't know all the mysteries of this universe For all of the knowledge I've gained There's one thing in this world I lack And I can't have it explained! All the things in this world that are lovely and good I wish I could see, it could be understood Oh, I would throw all my sins and my money away If I could know love For Just One Day! | | 3:00 am |
Random Note
As a random note, I've decided that while I'm home and have access to my MacBook, I'm going to upload all the varied poetry / songs that I wrote over my year at Union to my Livejournal, but attempt to backdate them somewhat to their original dates of creation. It may be a little zany but it'll make me feel good. | | Tuesday, November 20th, 2007 | | 2:20 am |
Pimpstrey: The Revival
So, here's the deal. I've been told to "start" a livejournal. However, since I already have one (and have had one for several years), this is more of a restart. A revival, if you will. I really think this is a great idea (assuming I keep up with it on a semi-regular basis) because writing down my individual thoughts at any given point in my life really seems to help when I'm introspecting before writing a song or some other creative work. So my life the past few days: final performance of RUR, Players Party, Legends of the Hidden Temple costumes, EMT duty, and trying to get a radio. More updates when I'm not falling asleep. | | Tuesday, October 30th, 2007 | | 2:22 pm |
Epiphany No! I won't! I won't remain inside this glass prison Looking out but always staying in And everybody sees me in clear vision Do I sin? Cause I don't get to make my own decisions It's a trait that I have yet to gain When all the folks go on with their collisions I remain So I go outside And put on my pitch uniform coat A protection against the world I know And I walk outside Watching the people who choose their own destiny But not I, I don't go. It's easier to see over than to oversee. | | Monday, October 15th, 2007 | | 2:36 am |
