Taking Back Sunday's Eve, Part Dos: Oh, How I've Changed

So here I am, once again my friends... DJ Ruby Rubez on the 1s and 2s. I realized something this year and its been gradually becoming more and more evident every single day. What I realized is that I've changed so much since a couple of years ago.... I know I've talked about this before on the blog, but I feel like I should dedicate a whole or at least a good portion of a post to this. I went through like, a complete metamorphosis from my 17th birthday to now. At 17, I liked a totally different style of music, with a few exceptions... I dressed differently, was a lot more innocent, a lot more shy, and most of all, a lot less happy. Not to say I was depressed, but I wasn't happy with myself. Comparing my life now to my life then is like comparing day and night. I listen to better music, dress better, am A LOT happier, the happiest I've ever been, and have a whole different outlook on life.

You see at 17, I was coming off some bad times... the worst times of my life, actually. WARNING: Do not ask me about what i went through. It's extremely personal, and if I wanted you to know, I would have told you already. Anyways, I was on the rebound from the stuff I went through the previous year. I gained about 50-60 pounds since a year ago... I know, beastttt. I couldn't wear contacts anymore, because of previous (and REALLY bad) eye infections. So I wasn't happy about my appearance. Apart from that, life just wasn't the way I wanted it to be. Come 2008, things were better, I was back on the happy train, but hadn't reached the destination of Awesome City yet. I graduated high school, and started college. I also lost about 20 or so pounds by the end of the year. '09 Has been by far my best year, and the year that I changed the most. My whole lifestyle changed... I started dressing totally different, listening to different music, and started thinking differently. And I'm still not at Awesome City yet, but I feel like I'm awfully close. I've been thinking about this because a year ago I was barely familiar with most of the bands I listen to, including TBS, and now I'm all into it. I'm so glad I went through this change... it's probably the best thing I ever did.

So yeah... that's how my life has gone the last couple of years. Also, I'm gonna try to not eat meat and see how that goes. It's not because i feel bad for the animals, though, lol. It's just to see if I can lose weight and be healthier, na mean?! So as of today, I guess I'm an experimental vegetarian.

Oh I thought of something really funny while chilliando with my lady friend today... We were talking about how WaMu was taken over by Chase. I remembered how one day at my local Chase they had coffee and donuts to celebrate the takeover. I always pictured an ancient battle of epic proportions when I thought of Chase taking over WaMu... I thought of armies with swords, big shields, bow and arrow, and heavy armor on both sides, with one army having the Chase logo on their banners and one having the WaMu logo on theirs. And then... they charge at each other in formation, shouting battle cries like "FREEEEEEEEEEE CHECKING!!!" or "PAY YOUR BILLS ONLIIIIIIIIINE!!"... and then they clash, swords swinging, arrows flying, blood being spilled everywhere. Then after a long, hard fought battle, Chase emerges victorious. The WaMu army has been almost completely eviscerated, save for the prisoners of war from WaMu, who are carted off to become slaves of Chase. And then all the Chase bankers get the spoils of war: free coffee and donuts the morning after the glorious triumph.

Lmfao... Idk what to write after that, so I think I'll end this one, see you guys after the concert tomorrow! =D Peace.
