Your eyelashes tickle my neck with every nervous blink

Words flow from my fingertips like smoke into my lungs from freshmen year bong hits. At some point in my life Chris Fenn gave me the Glassjaw cd Worship and Tribute. I've been listening to it the last two days almost nonstop. Some might initially be put off by the harshness of their post-hardcore enthusiasm, but the singing is simply undeniable. I've been in a relationship with Glassjaw's songs Piano and Ry Ry's Song for a good four years now and I'm glad I decided to see what a full album had to offer.

Big news. New Flaming Lips album. Thanks to Jchan and his bra Sleepie Steve I have had a few listens of the latest from one of my all-time favorite bands. I decided I like it. The sound isn't necessarily the same; They are more likely to hold you with guitar riffs in this one than connect you with feelings of outerspace. Rolling Stone said the Lips named Black Sabbath as this album's main influence, which proves you never know what to expect from a Flaming Lips album. They still pose some of the large questions in life drug heads and dreamers will appreciate. Experiment with their single,
The W.A.N.D.

Parents' weekend was great, I miss them already. I got to eat at my favorite restaurant and see a sad Neil Young movie. Check out pics from the aquarium!

Some of you may know my dad was a philosophy major in college, so I had him help me out with my assignment on Descartes about how to objectively differentiate between one's dream state and waking state.

Fish! There is a whale shark back there.

The lounge of the aquarium was very calm and soothing. It had to be because of the large freaking amount of people running around inside. This picture is my new desktop background. If you right click on it and select 'save as background' we can have the same background. Isn't there something special about that?

Finally, the hair cut. I am bereaved.

I told the nice woman not to cut it too short. She said next time if I wanted a free haircut she would fashion my beautiful brown hair into a faux hawk and have me model it around. I couldn't help remembering I have had that haircut once before.

Angela likes Glassjaw a lot, I remember Chris liked them and At The Drive-In a lot. They were the closest thing to Punk, other then the movielife and Blink 182 that he liked. Lookin sharp Joelsoph
