sometimes things don't work out like you planned

so my cousin didn't get here last night. they didn't leave as early as they thought they would, so they stopped at a hotel. honestly, i was disappointed. considering it's only an eight hour trip as opposed to the 14 hour trip i took to florida with my mom (we didn't stop at a hotel the entire trip). but it is understandable, since my grandpa is getting older and doesn't do as well with long trips.
they should be calling soon so we can go meet them at the local CVS, since our house is new and back in the woods and doesn't appear on my grandpa's escalade navigation system when you punch in the address...
i'm picturing my grandpa pulling up in his escalade to this small little house and parking next the the henhouse... ahhhh good times...

well they just called. time to go get them! ^_^

i just realized something...

interesting how distracted i get sometimes. i just realized that those of you who are reading this blog don't know that i am a musician. i am currently recording under the name Fire At The Fairgrounds, hence the URL. I am highly inspired by bands such as Fall Out Boy, Coheed and Cambria, Death Cab for Cutie, Paramore, The Postal Service and other such interesting bands. i have been compared to the Cranberries. you may disagree, but that is one's opinion. check out my links. see what you think. if you haven't been to purevolume i highly recommend you go there.

waiting for my cousin to get here...hours are never as slow as when you're waiting for something.

more at home away from "home"

i'm going to be at my mom's house for most of the summer. i love it here. it makes me feel even more at home than my regular home.

i've been staying on the phone really late while i've been here. every night. till morning. i have my reasons.

i sleep until noon and wake to a white walled room with dark curtains. its like an ice cave. except not cold.

i have lots of musical instruments that act as my roommates. it's still not the same as human company though. i miss my friends sometimes. but then again, it's nice to be able to be alone every now and then. this is a well deserved vacation for this modern day urban cinderella. but i'm not one to complain. i'm just saying...this R+R is well deserved.

my cousin is coming in from NJ tomorrow. i'm extremely thrilled that she's coming here. she hasn't been here in a long time. we're not going to be getting any sleep during her stay. and hopefully i can find a few decent bands that are playing in the area and take her to some shows. she needs to break away from those Disney kids that she listens to...no she's not years younger than I... she is 6 months younger.
she is in need of a musical intervention.
so far my advice is working. she listens to Death Cab for Cutie, Panic At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Cobra Starship and Metro Station sometimes. I'm looking forward to introducing her to The Ting Tings. it will be love at first song.

analyzing the complexity of dandelions passes the time

Saw this in my yard and quite honestly i thought of it as a good metaphor... in this vast universe, there is always going to be someone there for you. You'll always have at least one friend to lean on when you're in need of a comforting crutch. And that crutch has ears. They'll listen to what you have to say...and, most of the time, they'll give you the best advice they can. Amazing what two weeds in your back yard can inspire...

so i'm trying out this thing called living...

i woke up today and the sky was the most incredible shade of blue. the trees were being bent by a cool wind. hardly a cloud was in the sky. the temperature was nearly perfect. cool but not chilly...warm but not hot. 

and i didn't go outside. 

not once!

not for any length of time, that is. only to go fetch the mail... which was only an advertisement and some bills. i was disappointed that i had not received a package. i'm expecting it though...and waiting impatiently for it. 

no i did not venture into the great outdoors today, as i had to pack my belongings after only just getting home monday from a weekend trip to the beach. now i won't be back home until August 5th. i'm glad i like car rides. otherwise i would not be a very happy traveler.
