So here it is, a day and a half until move-in (again) to the old college dorm. I should say "old" because I'm actually getting an upgrade in terms of space and cleanliness. My previous room had a permanent-sticky-green-fuzzy substance right where I would put my hand up to pull something off the shelf in my closet. I don't think I'll run into that problem again. I'm living with the same guy as last year. We get along pretty well. If not for him, I would not have discovered "Dubstep." If you don't know what that is, you will have your mind rocked when you first listen to it. Trust me.
I have a notebook sitting on my desk that came from China. It's leather-bound and imprinting with characters that translate to "Learning has no end." I find it to be truly symbolic. A part of me wants to fill it with every little detail and observation. The other part feels it's too significant to write down any old jargon. It seems like filling it in would continue my quest for knowledge. If I fill it completely, then what next? You tell me.
If you're reading this, I want you to check out mine and Trae's new podcast (www.newsasweseeit.com).

Being that guy
I'm sitting in Bongo Java, the local coffee shop, right now. I can't help but think of the Family Guy quote: "Hey, I'm going to sit in this coffee shop and write in public!" This seems to be the only time I can find for the day. I've been running back and forth and finally got a chance to sit down and drain a large cup of dark-roast coffee. It's funny, today has been one of my busiest days in a while, I'm only half done, and I only had one class this morning at 8:00. It's slightly ridiculous, but I've only got a week and a half left of class here at Belmont.
Not much to report on. I've been playing with the guys of Trigger back home. We've played a few shows recently. Our main goal is to get a few shows lined up in the summer for the Nashville/Murfreesboro area. We want to make something of ourselves. Even though I've had my sights set on "neurosurgeon" for the past two years as a future profession, I have to admit it. If I got the chance to tour with a band or make it big (you know how the dreams go), I would take it in a heartbeat. There would always be time later to pick up where I left off with school.
For now, I'll practice my bass and study until my brain cries for a break. The later has been happening lately. I'll find myself going hard and then 9:00 pm rolls around, and I'm pretty much asleep where I stand. I've been falling out so early in the day, it has me waking up at 5:00 or 6:00 every morning. Sadly, the college community likes to assume that an early night would be midnight. It makes it hard for a guy like me with a very strict sleeping schedule to a.) make it to an event or b.) stay awake.
