A cool quote

(Trumpets playing)Hear ye, Hear ye! A royal decree from King Rubes!

What's up guys... wait, don't answer that... what really is up? The sky, the ceiling of whatever building you're in, the floors above you, planes... a lot of things are up. So why does when someone say "what's up" to someone, instead of replying with "the trees" or "that flock of seagulls," they reply with "not much, just came back from Lake Titicaca" or whatever else they're up to. Btw Lake Titicaca is a real place, google that shit. I find a lot of expressions of the English language to be non sensical. Some words or phrases, like cool, hot, sick, and jam, have two or more meanings. I just used one, probably one of the most common ones: a lot. "A lot" literally means a big open space, like a parking lot. So how did it come to mean a large amount of anything, and everything? Why do people park in driveways and drive in parkways? You've probably heard that one before, but it's still true. You know which expressions i hate the most? When someone says something like "give me 5 minutes" or "I'll be there in 10". And then they never come when they say they're gonna come. I have friends who would say "I'll be there in 5 minutes" and then literally 2 hours would go by -_-. That shit really grinds my gears.

Well moving on from that brolic ass side note, i have a quote to share with you guys. It's from a band I've been listening to a lot lately, called Armor For Sleep. I mentioned one of their songs in one of my earlier posts. The quote is from their song "Snow Globe," and it reads:

"I used to believe that no one else was alive... that all of the world was just a show inside my own mind."

It's funny because I had that thought before. And when I heard that line in the song it really made me ponder. What if this was all really fake? You know, like The Matrix, kind of. What if life as we know it is not what it seems? Or maybe life only as I know it, because no one else exists? That would suck, because for one i put a lot of work into this blog, and if no one exists to really read it, I'll be pissed. Ha... but seriously, imagine if the universe was playing a trick on you and that everything you've ever known was a farce just designed to keep you entertained. Scary, isn't it? Man i would hate to be a phliosopher... I'd have to think about this type of stuff all the time. An then write about it. Well, now that I think about, that's EXACTLY what I'm doing at this moment, so I guess it wouldn't be that bad. Well thank you, Armor For Sleep, for giving me this topic to write about... you guys are awesome.

I think not working at Cold Stone anymore is the best choice I've made all summer. Once again, I'm not gonna tell you what happened, so for all the people who keep asking, please stop. Don't mean to be mean, kids, but Uncle Rubes needs his privacy.
But yeah, now I have all the free time in the world. I started writing a story today, but I'm not gonna post that one on the blog. Sorry, but that one is gonna be part of my secret stash. I have more time to write stories, blog posts, songs, practice playing my guitar, and maybe even brush up on my knowledge of psychology. I want to get a head start on school, only so i can get some kick ass grades this semester. I'm aiming for a 3.5 or better, and i know i can do it. Heck, i got a 3.3 last semester, why not up the ante a few tenths of a point.

There's one thing i do fear, though, besides death and Chuck Norris... and the thing I fear is(drum roll)...... my upcoming math class. It's only a core class, so it should be like junior year math in high school, right? Well that would be good news, except i got COMPLETELY FUCKING OWNED in math junior year of high school. I never failed a class in my life, but i came the closest in that class. My average on the year for math was a 67, when I was usually disappointed in anything under 85. I'm seriously considering asking my future math professor the title of the book so i can get some practice in before classes start. Yeah I know, I sound like a nerd, but idc, I need good grades to carry out my master plan for the Spring 2010. Have I told you henchmen about my master plan? Muahaha... i guess not. Well here 'tis:

In the Spring of 2010 I'll be studying abroad in Europe. I'll be going to three different cities, spending 5 weeks in each one. And on the weekends, I'll most likely be going to all of Europe's fun tourist spots - London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, Athens- I could name a lot more, but that would take up too much time. And my three home cities are as follows: Salamanca, a small historic city in Spain. The next two need no introduction... Rome, and Paris!!! I can't wait, man... it's gonna be MERAVIGLIOSO!! That's "awesome" in Italian... i swear, google that shit too! Well I smell food, so I'm gonna end this post, lmao. Thanks for the tip, see you tomorrow!
