Mysterious Musings

This is not a love story.

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:22:40 GMT

Yes I'm on LiveJournal again....it's pretty much become summer-type, 3-post habit.

I haven't logged on in forever but the last draft posted that I had cached in here was something about "lonely hearts" and really far too emo than I've been for a while. I wanted to post what was there just for comparison sake, but it's really nothing special.

So after the chaos that was E3 (I could go on about that but that's another post) I've started work and now budget my time very carefully. By that I mean, I'm so tired at the end of the day, I can only do something if I REALLY want to do it. Otherwise, I take a nap or something along those lines.

I've been binging on "Fate/Stay Night" and I must say it's a pretty well done show. I don't exactly know where to place it. It's not quite an adult show but it's more than your family/shonen-type deal. Outside that, I'm hoping to make it to AnimeNext. We'll see what happens. Never made it to a con before.

Also, 500 Days of Summer. I'm excited.

What a Crazy Random Happenstance!

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:22:14 GMT

So, as I make my way into another working week I begin to feel the numbness of being idle. I feel like there's much more I could be doing this summer if only I didn't have to work every day. But then again I would have any cash to do things if I didn't have a job...what a Catch-22. But we fast approach another school year. I'm still a bit rattled from freshman year so I'm trying to be very careful about my habits this year to make sure I don't struggle with my grades. The more important decision, however, is where I'm going to go with this education of mine. Communications is like be undecided while having the satisfaction of a major.

The Only Sensible Way...

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:24:24 GMT

It's only as of late that I've become terribly aware of life's cycle of routines. To overgeneralize it, we attempt to gain more qualifications to gain access to something new. Through this something new we acquire even more qualifications to get to the next level. It's a never-ending spiral of achievement and, while it is admirable to be an achiever, I believe that sometimes it's necessary to stop and just DO something. Not take a class for credit, or read the news for contemporary dominance. Take up something like Magic, Sleight of Hand, an instrument...ANYTHING...just for yourself...you'll find that you feel awesome...

Broadcasting Live

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:08:37 GMT

Again, testing out ping.fm to see if it works well with my live journal. So far, so good, but I'd like to see how much text I can submit that it can handle.In other news, I'm working every day so you don't really see me submit on here...which explains my need to post with ping.fm. Coming down the pike I've got more work and I'm hopefully seeing The Hush Sound this August on the 25th...which is just in time before I head to school the day after....god it feels like the summer went too fast....

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:00:31 GMT

This is a test post from ping.fm to see if I can post full-scale journal entries to LJ from my AIM account. If so this is friggin' sweet. If not oh well who cares.

Mission Accomplished

Wed, 28 May 2008 03:39:13 GMT

So begins life after memorial day weekend. I thought it would never come but, alas, here were approaching the wee hours of Wednesday, Cornflower Blue day. I eagerly await the coming weekend and the coming days this summer has to offer. Still something troubles me, as troubling things always do. I've taken stock of my job, the weekends, and the scattered amounts of leisure time I have this summer and I've alotted the hours accordingly.

One-Two evenings a week are devoted to Rugby in order to get back in to moderate shape (some abs never hurt)
Monday evenings reserved for AmGlad (American Gladiators to the untrained)
Weekends are saved for big things such as journeys down the shore, hang outs with friends, family stuff.
The rest is free space, I suppose.

That being said, I have yet to cover the one thing that bugs me. Summer romance. Suuuuuuuuuuuure we all joke and jest about it. (Hey! I met a girl named Sandy!......ah wellah wellah wellah...oh Grease)
But I feel as though it's an obligation. It's prime season for me to search for a partner to enjoy the vacation with and get some feelings out. Also, if I don't, I fear I may be doomed to a life of bachelordom. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but my point is, if I can't find the balls to go out and get her now, I'm never gonna have the correct mindset to pursue the girl when it really counts. I shall cautiously approach the coming days with reluctant decisions and cautious steps. And if I'm lucky, I might find the right dating scene for me. And maybe have a little fun along the way.

So let the games begin, I say! Ladies, you know who you are.

=I thought what I'd do was...=

"I thought what I'd do was I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody."

Yeah, Catcher in the Rye quote...Lame I know. I just feel that I should put something in here. Expect more. Maybe.

I Was Made to Hit In America

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 00:00:25 GMT

I exited the gateway that links the two great buildings known as 'Champagnat' and the Student Center together. Feeling an air of creativeness, I gently breezed through the byways that span throughout the campus back to the grand manor of Sheahan Hall.

And now I'm here.....

Shelter Me Oh Genious Words....

This calls for a more serious LiveJournal entry. I've just returned from the common room, in which we were watching a pretty poor quality piracy job of Superbad. Now while I must agree that the comedy is great, I find that much of it is based on the more naive of those in teenage society. For example, the main character Seth, while well versed in modern party practices, rituals, and code, subscribes himself to a greater standard with the beliefs that these things do not matter that much and hopelessly believes that there is something greater to be had from it. He holds greater respect for his crush Becca. He wants a truly strong relationship to last between them, and not some mindless, drunk, hookup. That's the story of Superbad I watched....and I felt sorry. I long for things to be much more simple, and less destructive. I don't want to risk my health or status for a physical pleasure. I may be a hopeless romantic, but I am not going to risk myself, for a relationship. I am not that desperate. These relationships I've seen made lately are based on a purely carnal instinct where either one or both parties is interested in only physical relations. The facade that is put up is a mere ruse where, again, either one or both parties feign emotional interest in the other just to maintain that initial, carnal desire. It seems to me that I'm almost the opposite. I search for a nice emotional attachment and have to put up facade to hide that, so I can blend in and note act out of social turn. That not to say I wouldn't have a fairly fun time drinking or partying...it's just I can't enjoy mindless hookups. I think I skipped that phase of my life.

In summation, I want things to be less complicated. I want relationships to be easier to read. I want people to be honest and not hide from their feelings. I miss the freedom!...I miss the freedom! I miss.........

I wanna play...I really do.....

1:30.......8 hours till my first college class. I think I'm gonna get some rest.
Played DDR today on Anthony's sick ass steel mats. It was awesome. And Dexter" is SIIIIICK.

Do Your Thing

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 06:23:16 GMT

Here we are on livejournal again. Wow...he's actually seriously posting! On to the actually story of my life. Finally got my lappy (laptop) today. It's a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 running Vista. The specs are nice and it plays UT 2k4 like a charm. All I've really been doing is Facebooking it stalking the usual suspects, and hanging around with the Otaku Crew. Feeling alright...women done got me down and I don't know what to do about it...maybe I'm gonna write a blues song...or blues up my song.

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 17:01:06 GMT

So here I am...finally...on my laptop at last. It feels good. I can resume stalking people and facebook and discovering things that I don't want to see.....oh and not to mention get re-connected with all the dear people I miss. Not much else to say. I'll around if any of yous want to talk to me...which you will...which you will...

End of the Working Week.

So.....it's friday. Taking a deep sigh of relief. Nothing too new as per the norm. Hopefully I'll have something interesting to show you all someday soon. James, I've learned almost all of "Evaporated". Thought you'd like to know.

Into the Frying Pan...

Thu, 21 Sep 2006 21:03:10 GMT

Well today goes well. Nothing too new. Studio Art project number 3 is going well to my card/magic/gambling recurring theme. I like that alot. Still keeping my fingers crossed about my job. Tonight is a "make or break" night, as it were, since the understudies shall be announced. I can't take too deep a breath since the last results weren't spectacular (/understatement). Gotta some burgers waiting for me. MMMMMMmmm This IS a TASTY BURGER! (Pulp Fiction for those of you reading this not in the know. All zero of you.)

Hey folks!

Been looking forward to this time of the year. I'm in pursuit of a good job at EB Games. With this I may finally be employed and have what I'm looking for. Everything else except this is the same. Except for maybe studio art. Yeah. Now Studio Art is what I call a fine example of a class. It's not a do nothing class but it sure is enjoyable.

Hey folks. I'm still here. I just wanted to say that. Also gonna remind you that this is tough crap to remember to do. Livejournal is either a commitment or a rarity...nothing in between.

At the shore now.....got nothing really to do. Been picking up the magician's trade again. Come check out my magic in person. I wanna start doing it for a side job but most people think it's for kids. I could bear to do it for kids who just want to know how it's done. Maybe I can get an apprenticeship under some good magician. Awww well I'll get pretty good eventually. Peace....

Four Score......

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 20:39:11 GMT

...and practically 7 months ago was the last time I really posted on this (sorry james). Perhaps it's important that I learn to reaffirm the goings on in my life through LJ instead of rolling with the punches. Heck, who knows? It might help me out with what's to come.
So Joseph is underway and we scramble to make it all shiny. Leaving for practice in an hour or so. Gotta get a new iPod as the old reliable went the way of the fryPod. MMMMM Toasty! Trying to get into a facebook account. The good folks over at F-Book are in the midst of processing data through my school e-mail account. I am also anticipating the repair and glorious return of my gaming PC. Well it's more of an all-around Otaku PC as it provides spacious disk space to house my anime and hearty processor power to run Half Life 2. Not much else to say. I don't lead very much of an eventful life. Not even online. By the way, there's an open (sort of) invitation to my shore house this weekend.

Apples and Space Exploration

Mon, 01 May 2006 22:16:11 GMT

"Comparing Kingdom Hearts to Oblivion is like comparing apples to space shuttles."

Thank you. The phrase "comparing apples to oranges" is horribly misusedbecause they are, in fact, very comparable objects. Apples and spaceshuttles, on the other hand, are not.

That was a quote I came upon digg.com over a Kingdom Hearts article, it speaks the truth in volumes. Anyway, onto to the reup of my life/journal/everyday occurences. I as of late have been hooked on Kingdom Hearts and purchased a PS2 for JUST that reason. You could say in comparison with James it is my DotA. I've adopted my own "Tao of the Keyblade" (I've just made that up) in which I practice examples of good character as demonstrated in the game. Back to real life, prom has come and gone and I enjoyed every minute of it. Without Kodi it would've exponentially worse so I'm glad she came. I don't have much to say as I was reminded by James to restart this LJ. Nothing new save for College Fair on Wednesday and Jason Everett (a.k.a. "that sex guy?") tommorrow. On a completely different note, Tim and I have been trying to do music lately, as in make our own song or what not. Another different note, The Nintendo revolution has been renamed to the Nintendo Wii (pronounced wee). It's definitley a detraction from the good name Nintendo's been building this year under the "Revolution" name and will only prove the immaturity of Gaming journalism/media. Why can't everybody just mature a little?

That's that and I wish all a good night.

"We'll go together"

Whine, Women, and Thong

Thu, 02 Feb 2006 04:03:16 GMT

Today occurs as usual. Del p is the most "anal" (would that be appropriate?) teacher I have. I used to think Mrs. Schneider was picky but now it's Mr. "Law and Order" who holds the top spot on irrational preference list. If we don't have 8 sentences(or the homework at all), he'll take off one point, but even if we try and don't do 8 sentences we lose 2 points. Now tell me if I'm wrong but putting forth effort should get points rather than lose more points than if I were to NOT do the homework at ALL.

And now that that's off my chest I can continue. Uneventful day really. I'm looking forward to tommorrow when I can hang out at school and just lounge and play warcraft. Most people save that for home but seeing as I get more play time at school, I enjoy it more there. Ryan often remarks with suprised disgust(<<< for lack of a better word) at my preference. I suppose he might not get it or he just has better priorities than me. (most people do) Catch you all on the flip side and I hope to God tommorrow is better.

Physics test...mumble......crap......Monty has nubs....gibberish

Lets hear it for half days...

Yes...a half day. A day of complete and utter nothing-doing. They are truly days in which I can have my cake and eat it too.

Nevah feah, Brooklyn's Heah!

Mon, 30 Jan 2006 20:29:59 GMT

Well well... I begin to post again with this strange tone as if to encounter a person from many years ago with great suspicion. I should just get on with it.

Not much new has happened to me personally, save for the fact that I have a girlfriend. This news(which I've probably said before) isn't all together incredible, yet still amazing(so don't feel afraid to gasp in awe!). The chorus has been moving on up in the performance food chain. We now do traveling gigs (that don't require senior citizens!). Not much new in Matt's music land, no new earth-shattering artist to rock everybody's world. I think I should just let loose on what started me on this. I was watching Family Guy last night and just out of left field Peter says "Time for some touchdown music." They then procede to perform the whole song and dance routine of Shipoopi. now the laypeople of this world would chuckle at the spontaneity and randomness of this musical number. I, being a Music Man alum (which puts me on THAT much higher a level than you), finds this in entirely giganticly hilarious. I failed to stop laughing even 5 minutes after the whole she-bang had well.....banged. That's all I have to say for now seeing as I've been sidetracked.

Auf Wiedersiene (i think that's how you spell it)

PS: tell me (all 3 of you) what you think of the band name "Going in Cold"? thanks

Saturday Looks Good to Me...

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 01:21:58 GMT

...but really it does. I got to finishing all the "missing" homeworks for the Montinator. I swear I did more than he let on...but you can never fight the power of the nub. Which reminds me...

Chuck Norris joke: Mr. Montagnino, upon touching Chuck Norris beard was cured of "the nub". Sadly, he was horribly re-crippled by blocking the suceeding roundhouse kick assault...

Now I must go to finish up the real homework...

I would've done a survey but I don't know how to shorten my entries with the HTML hyperlink
