10:34 pm	Annual LJ post This time I am looking for feedback. Since I have some very Colorado-centric, elitist friends, I thought I would show a little PNW pride and come up with a mix of Seattle artists. I have a rough list of songs, but am certainly open to ideas. I have all of five contacts on this site, but if anyone has ideas that would be great. A couple of things: "Seattle" is somewhat liberally used. Bremerton, Bellingham, Tacoma and even Olympia have a representative or two. Second, not all of the songs on this list are ones that I like, necessarily, but are ones that are a)popular b)influential or c)really damn good. For instance, I hate the goddamn Presidents of the United States, but people seem to like them so I have included a fairly popular song of theirs. If anyone who actually likes them has a better song, I'm all ears. Also, to fit on a CD I'll have to drop about a dozen. Any non-worthy songs should be noted. 1. The Posies - Dream All Day 2. Sleater Kinney - Modern Girl 3. Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns - Mother Love Bone 4. Something Bigger, Something Brighter - Pretty Girls Make Graves 5. Heart - Barracuda 6. Jimi Hendrix - Something? 7. Screaming Trees - Shadow of the Season 8. Mad Season - River of Deceit 9. Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike 10. Nirvana - Something? 11. Sir Mix-a-Lot - Posse on Broadway 12. Blue Scholars - Back Home 13. USE - Emerald City 14. Visqueen - Crush on Radio 15. Brandi Carlile - The Story 16. Presidents - Lump 17. Neko Case - South Tacoma Way 18. The Gits - Second Skin 19. Built to Spill - Liar 20. Pedro the Lion - Bad Diary Days 21. Bikini Kill - Rebel Girl 22. Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta 23. Modest Mouse - Dramamine 24. Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism 25. Postal Service - Such Great Heights 26. Band of Horses - The Funeral 27. Blood Brothers - Crimes 28. Rocky Votolato - Before You Were Born (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:39 pm	Hola strangers It's apparently time for my bi-annual post. Let me talk for a second about journalists. We are fucking crazy. The fact that I willingly do what I do has to say something about my mental state. Incredibly exhausting, low paying, brutal work. I work 12-14 hour days frequently, then find myself lying awake in bed thinking about the job. That's really all I have the energy for right now, as far as that topic is concerned. Except to say this: It's problematic that I'm doing what I do for one reason...I'm ready to move on with my life, but I can't financially afford to. I try to spend less, cut back here and there, but still find myself broke with 2 or 3 days left until my paycheck. One day I'll just say screw it and proceed on to Portland and hope for the best. Apparently people are putting seven songs they are listening to these days, so here they are. I'm not going to tag people, largely because I don't know how. 1. Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken - Camera Obscura 2. You're the Storm - Cardigans 3. One Evening -Feist 4. Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division 5. People as Places as People - Modest Mouse 6. Wordless Chorus - My Morning Jacket 7. Lullabye For a Stormy Night - Vienna Teng Anyway, so I've had better peace of mind now that I have accepted that I don't really have time in my life for people anymore. I still see Beth, Randy, Aaron, Tyler and Carlson frequently...That won't change, at least while we still live here. But I don't have the time, energy or inclination to keep up relations with a host of other people. I see Kirsten and Vanessa once a week or so, and it always makes me happy to see Emily, but for the most part that's it. On a related note, it is nice to catch up with people periodically. Had dinner at Caitie's house the other night. Who knows...for the most part, though, it was nice to know you kids. Most of the time. I think I had a moment recently where I felt like I was actually a real person. It has since faded, and I don't remember it. Maybe it is like waking up from a dream into reality, so you don't really remember what came before. Dearest Sarah says she doesn't think that moment exists...where you feel like a productive, active member of society. That's possibly true. But there is time in life, I believe, where you are forced to ACT as though that were true, or else you are lost in the shuffle. Or maybe you are doomed to that fate regardless. Sidenote: what is it about livejournal that makes people ramble on with pseudo-thoughtful bullshit like people actually fucking care? I think we are all pretentious assholes. Anyway, I'm fairly hungry, and I think I'm done writing for now. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:44 pm	Chillin' and killin' So. What new with you? I feel like my life is going through some pretty sizeable changes, and my body seems to be betraying me. I've been pretty continually sick for awhile, and I developed some kind of reaction. I'm going to the doctor on Tuesday, which I wouldn't mind, except that it is during the middle of work on the day before deadline day, which means I'll have stay later that day to finish my stories, which means I'll get more stressed, which means more bad things will happen to me, which will necessitate more doctors, which will cause me to miss more work and eventually I will die. So the ever-present desire to skip town and live as a roustabout is growing by the day. But the window for doing so is closing rapidly. Have I been holding myself back? Well of course the answer is yes. Have I been holding myself back to a point where I am stagnant? I fear that the answer to that is also yes. It is kind of difficult for me to seperate from those few people that I love, but it might be time for me to leave them behind. I just saw that George Lucas is the grand marshal of the Rose Parade this year. eh? I'm currently trying to write an article so I don't have to tomorrow morning, seeing as how I probably won't have much time. It's about last week's board meeting. This is what I have so far: The Yelm Community Schools board met on Thursday, Sept. 14 It's a pretty boring lead, but then again it's a pretty boring story. I'm tired. (Comment on this)

7:22 pm	Ceresola has told me a quote that he particularly likes a couple of times... "Better to murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire" - William Blake No offense to him, but I prefer my favorite old-timey writer, Voltaire: "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd". Now, granted, the context of these two quotes is a bit different..if you wish: "Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for"? - Robert Browning Life is a constant strive to find the balance between caution and courage...pursuing something and backing off...I believe there are no certain maxims in this world...that each situation has to be evaluated based on its own merits and that, while I generally err on the side of caution, I have rarely regretted the gamble when I take a plunge, whether it tends to work out for the best or not. He and I discussed my future last night, while drunkeness enusued downstairs...Where am I going to be in six months? Hell, where am I going to be in two months? I haven't been truly happy here for upwards of a year...I have wanted to leave here for a long time...travel...see the world...jump in headfirst into a place I don't know. Do I have the courage to leave? Or does it take more courage to stay? So lately, the former few that used to be my confidants have drifted...whether from time or distance, I haven't had the means to keep as close as I was...in their place, a trio of redheads have actually done a pretty stellar job of stepping in with the council... The other day, Nissa said that I was a good guy...Is that true, or I have just tricked people into thinking I'm a good guy? Maybe I wouldn't have done some of the things that I have done if I really was... I don't completely disagree with Mr. Blake, however, as he gives this tidbit... "Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief"? One thing that I am aware about myself is that I cannot stand to see a friend in pain. I would much prefer to absorb suffering than let it stand...But I can't always do something...Can I? I think I think too much...too many meaningless quotes, too little just doing...

10:43 pm	Yeah So let me start by telling you good folks about work. For those of you who do not know, I work at a weekly newspaper down in Yelm. It's a really fun job, and I'm learning a lot. Thursday, I had an interview with a guy in Tenino who is helping put on their annual festival, Oregon Trail Days...It's kind of a hick festival for a hick town. Well, I met a lot of people, did a lot of interviews and the mayor drove me around town showing me things. I had to have the articles done by today (Friday). It was pretty fun, because my editor basically said go to town, get some stuff and write about it, so I was able to shape the stories how I wanted to. I had anticipated writing them last night but got a little distracted, so I had to write four stories before work this morning. It worked out well, though, and I got a lot of compliments on them. I think I've been working too much. I had a dream last night that I didn't write in AP style and my editor yelled at me. I almost died twice today. Actually one of those is an exaggeration. I was crossing one of the suicide intersections and forgot that there are no stop signs. Fortunately the other guy didn't forget. However, on Yelm highway there is an incredibly poorly designed railroad. They have the flashing warning lights, but no safety barriers come down. So we all slowed down and looked around trying to figure out what was going on, and I looked over and realized that I was kinda sorta on the tracks. Luckily it was a slow train and I moved. So I didn't die. Over the last 2 days, I have been awash in old friends. Out of the...say...10 most important people in my life, there are 5 that I haven't talked to/seen in about a month, and those 5 all called, IMd or visited within the last two days. Krystal came down to visit, and I only got to see her for about 10 minutes after work, but it was still nice. Talked to Kirsten over IM, which was the first actual conversation we'd had since December. Lauren called, whom I haven't talked to in upwards of a month. Bethany called, during the rare times she wasn't doing her camp counseler thing. Amy came down from Bellingham. So, definitely a strange thing that it all happened at once, but really nice too. So...at the risk of exposing too much about my inner thoughts about my past (which I never do so I might as well say fuck it) I can never figure out what to do about Amy. I've been in love once in my life...and that's all I'm saying on that note. I'm sure it's hard for you readers to put the pieces together from there. Anyway, it took a looooong time to get back to a place where friendship came naturally. Now...to the degree that it was such a high level of emotions, I don't think that the upwards of two years it took for things to be smooth again is probably a standard. A small part of me will probably always be a little in love with her, or at least remember the being in love...but in general, will it take a significant amount of time to move past and back into friendship? We talked tonight...I told her that Randy and I have a joke that I am strangely attracted to unavailable girls...I figured 3 years was long enough that we could both laugh at it...and we did...90% of the way...the other 10%, the semi-awkward laughter, will likely always be there. Sidenote: it took Nissa and I around 1 1/2 years, but it would have taken much less time except that she spent about a year being mad at me for not being her friend immediately. So in my experience, post-whatever friendships that end up working out (eventually) are among the strongest that I have. It takes time...but what if there isn't time? Who knows...We'll see what life brings. On another note...Something Tabby said to me yesterday made me think about a story I want to write...I think it's getting closer, but I'm still not sure how to do it...I'm not much with the fiction, but I am kinda curious...

4:19 am	Ok I was going to write an entry about random life, but I'm just gonna go to bed. Later. Current Mood: hmmmmm Current Music: Dixie Chicks (I kind of apologize) (Comment on this)
3:41 am	Once again I return It happens rarely...I usually remember this thing, write one or two then promptly forget and such and such. Largely, I think, it's because I usually tell people in person or phone funny/cool/terrible things that happen to me, so doing so here would simply be repetitive/redundant (I am in fact being redundant here, since those two words mean the same thing). There are a few things about this (livejournal), however, that make it worth doing. First, there are some people that I do not often talk to, and I'm sure that they are feeling terribly deprived that they do not get to have daily updates of my life. I'm throwing them a bone. Second, sometimes I just wanna get a little emo, and what better place than LJ? Third, I am much better and writing that I am at talking. It's just fact. In fact, I was thinking about carrying around one of those boards that deaf people sometimes have in movies around their necks and just writing everything I think. Thoughts? Anyway, I've recently had some long, introspective thoughts about the nature of...me...I thought that I would go ahead and write them on this here computer and spread the word. I'm almost done with college. I have eight credits left. Now here's the thing...I could have been finished over a semester ago. I have failed EIGHTEEN credits at PLU*, mostly by virtue of me not going to vital things such as months worth of class or finals. I've also had two semesters of 13 credits. Do the math and you will find that I could have been done quite awhile ago. "Now, why have you done this to yourself Sam?" you might ask. Well in truth, fuck if I know. But I'm going to give you my rationale. I'm not lazy. Well, ok I kinda am. But I'm really not. When I think something is important, I work tirelessly to get it done. At work, I will skip breaks to finish things I need to get done. (Not that I currently have a job, but in the past and theoretical future). In high school, I'd spend a good six to eight hours per day doing extracurriculars. What gives in college, then? Here's my theory...Somewhere, somehow I decided that schoolwork DOESN'T MATTER. Now, by all rights, over the past four years schoolwork should have been far and away my top priority. As it is, it is about 14th on the list, sandwiched between checking facebook and winning as much fake money as I can in Vegas solitaire. No, who am I kidding...checking facebook is way higher on the priority list**. Now, why has this happened to me? I have a couple of theories. First, grades 1-12 ruined me. I always did well in school work. No, not just did well...excelled. In third grade I was doing fourth grade work. In fourth grade I was doing sixth grade work etc. etc. And I always did better than the bigger kids***. I could put zero effort into something and breeze through. Now...fast forward to college. This is, theoretically, a place where intelligent, driven people come willingly (Sometimes it's just rich kids whose parents made them come, but we'll assume that they are at least kinda smart too). Here's where two divergent theories come in. The first is that I am so used to breezing through that, when the work and my peers suddenly raised the level of acceptable quality, I still put no additional effort into things, as I had been accustomed to going through school on neutral. I can breeze through college with Bs, or I can put some effort in and get an A. I choose the Bs#. The second theory is that I stopped caring about grades because I see this as the last step. I never considered going to grad school (a decision I've long since regretted) and employers don't really check transcripts for GPA, so it didn't matter to me much. I think both of these theories have some truth, and also a third theory: I am an arrogant son of a bitch##. I have always thought that I was smarter than everyone else. Not in a condescending way (although it intrinsically kinda is), and not in a way that makes me act differently towards people. It's just something that I have accepted. It's something that I just realized recently. It's something that I have just assumed. Now, throughout most of my life, I'd say it had been true. I had been above my peers for so long that I just kinda assumed that was how it is. Now, recently I pondered the fact that I'm in college...While sure, a lot of these kids are just your average students who try really hard, I'm sure a lot of them were in the same position I was in...Scoring in the high-90s percentile, doing work grades above their age and such. So, I've recently taken a big step in my opinion...Wait for it...I've accepted that other people might be...as smart as I am###. I still think that I am up there...I have recognized my arrogance at this point, but have accepted it partially. As far as writing is concerned, I think that I have as much raw talent as anyone at PLU. But I've opened the door in my mind to think of other people as equal. It's so strange to me that this has just recently become a conscious thought. Huh. Anyway, this was my long, rambling thoughts of the day. I will immediately follow this with a lighter, more random entry of my daily life. * 2 science classes, 2 math classes and capstone ** It's actually seventh *** One of my mother's favorite stories about my schooling is that when I was in kindergarten, I tutored the older kids in reading. We were at the grocery store one day and a second grader pointed to me and said "mom, that's the kid that's teaching me to read." My mom said the look on the woman's face was priceless # And some Cs, A D and a few Es ## My mother is actually a nice lady ### So far the list of people I've accepted to be as smart as me are Tabby, Nissa, Aaron Brauer-Rieke, Professor Grosvenor, Alan Greenspan and Justin Kemp (Ok, the last one was just a really funny joke) (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:35 pm	Back to Olympia Yeah, I'm doing ok now. It was kind of a rough stretch. Lots of pretty unfortunate life experiences. I've since remembered that I'm Sam, and I take things in stride. So... Went to Portland last month. Just for the utter hell of it. Left Sunday and got back late Monday. Was planning on staying later, but unforseen troubles brought me home early. Was an interesting trip. I was looking for a place to stay, but didn't want to spend very much money. As I was driving around, I kept thinking of Avenue Q. "Well, I started in Avenue A. Ao far everything's been out of my price range, but this looks a lot cheaper." I stayed in this really seedy hotel. They only had 1 non-smoking room, which was taken, so everything was simply saturated in smoke. Also, the heater was conveniently placed behind the bed, which I didn't find until the morning. I wore a sweater and pants to bed, wrapped the blanket around me twice and shivered all night. It was fun. I chilled at a coffee shop, had a few drinks at a bar and just kinda hung out in Portland for awhile. It was a nice break from the crap back home. But then I did come home. And finals occurred. There comes a point in the semester where day and night fail to exist. Instead, you study and write until you can study and write no more, then get a couple hours of restless sleep. Through a few work shifts on top of that, and I am lucky to still be alive. So, next month will be weird. A lot of key ingredients are studying abroad: Kirsten, Kara, Jenna, Caitlin, Alicia, Randy, Aaron and Carlson are all gone. On the bright side, I get Bethy back. Next semester will be brutal. Internship, capstone, In-depth, Media Narrative, Advanced International Relations (All 400 levels), intermediate tennis and autobiographical writing. I think I may just explode right now. So, a lot of people know by now that I plan on peace corp-ing it up when I graduate. The plan is to go to South America, but I'm not sure how that'll fly with the PC (Peace Corps) folks, considering I don't speak Spanish. Maybe I'll try to learn Spanish real fast. Although it did take me four years to learn absolutely no French. I work Christmas Eve and Christmas. How does that happen? Funny dream the other night. I had a comm paper due, but I didn't know what day. The professor sent an email saying it was due at 8:30, and he sent it at 7:30. I assumed it wasn't for that day, since the email also was saying what the assignment was. I tried calling Laura Benage, who was in my class, but couldn't get ahold of her. That moment, an earthquake hit...like a 5.0. During the quake, I called Nissa, who lives with Laura, to find out when it was due. She said, "there's an earthquake happening and you want to know when a paper is due? Are you fucking stupid?" When I woke up I thought that was fairly funny, because it's something like she'd say in real life. Anyway, I'm going to bounce to go play poker with Tyler. Later.

Looking forward to movie on Saturday...Looks quite cool...Also good company...Teflon, Jenna, Tabitha, Caitlin, Jamie (maybe), Kelly, Lindsey and Erica...It turns out I'm not sure if those last two names are spelled right... RHA elections coming up...I'm running them, which will be a decent amount of work, but I'm looking forward to it. I think it will be pretty fun... Went out with Blanco drinking last night for his 21st. Went to the Shamrock, Schooner and Lady Luck. Schooner was really cool. Hella smokey, really bad karaoke, surprisingly cheap. 2 pitchers, 3 mixed drinks, 2 shots and 3 baskets of fries for under $60. Will have to go back. Had a drink called Smith and Wesson. Was a White Russian with Coke. Tasted like a root beer float. Very tasty. On unfortunate, had hangover this morning...Surprisingly, never had one of those before. Very tired...Am going to bed soon...

Bought the book Wicked...Don't know if I mentioned that...Had kind of hard time starting, since I don't want to feel sad for Elphaba... Poor Animals. Went to Long Beach this weekend with the fam...Was ok, albeit rainy...Kind of boring though...Watched some Celebrity poker and some unimportant blockbusters of the past (i.e. Day After Tomorrow and Men in Black II)...Tried to watch Rushmore but inadvertantly returned it pre-viewing...

4:57 pm	Home sweet home I'm always amazed at how pointless our lives our when return to Olympia, the capital of nothingness. It's not that there is entirely nothing to do here (although there is entirely nothing to do here), but it seems like any will we have to be actually active has been sucked out by simply being in the 360 area code. I should become a hippie or a politician. My sister is going out for pole-vaulting. I didn't know they even did that in high school. Odd. I usually take breaks to watch mass loads of movies and play video games. As such, I watched 4 movies, 2 1/2 discs of Buffy and a bunch of TV in 3 days. Olympia. Saw I Heart Huckabees today. Good movie, just for your information. One thing I always like about coming home is looking through all of the stuff that I didn't think was important/cool enough to bring to school. I get all of my 5th grade CDs (Blackstreet and TLC), Super Nintendo games and tons of books. I also have Mars Attacks and a burned copy of Mystery Men that doesn't work. I'm at the library currently typing this because apparently at some point over the past few months my dad cancelled the AOL account. Which is fine, since at 28.8K I wouldn't have been able to do much anyway. Yeah, our comp at home hasn't been upgraded since I was in middle school. I think I'll go read the New York Times, check out a few books and go watch some more movies. God I love Olympia. Current Mood: Olympic Current Music: Wicked (surprised Lucas?) and old crappy CDs (4 Comments |Comment on this)
