Open Mic Performance/Meditation

Y'omies...how's it going guys, I know it's been a while. Things are still going well with me. I just finished up my guitar lessons last night. I learned a lot of new stuff in just four weeks, including how to do barre chords and how to play one of my fave songs, One-Eighty by Summer by Taking Back Sunday. I feel like im getting borderline obsessive with that band, homes... they're almost the only thing I listen to, even though I've heard all of their songs many times over. Yarg. Gray. That's "yarg" backwards. I'm writing again from the library cafe.... I feel like some kind of artiste, writing in a coffee shop, lulz. So the days are dwindling away until I leave for Eurotown. It's gonna be a bittersweet goodbye, because I'll be leaving just about all my family and friends for 4 months, including my girlfriend =(. But when I come back it's gonna be epic, I'll have stories to tell about the entire city of Europe! Jk, lmao... I know Europe isn't a city.. it's a state of mind. Right now I'm picturing Alicia Keys and Jay-Z with their new remix to their hit song, called "European State Of Mind." I can only imagine how its all gonna be over there, until then I have to wait and see.

So I performed at the open mic, and people really liked my song ^_^. I just wish I was a better singer. To be continued...

Maroon mothafuckin' 5! (A Tale Of Two Posts)

Y'omeskillet! Last night was epic... I saw Maroon 5 in concert at St. John's with my sis and gf!..!! They were great, every song was awesome from beginning to end. They even turned one of their songs into a country song, and covered an Alicia Keys song. Awesomeness. Oh and guess what? No, really guess...........Nope, you're wrong. The actor Jason Seigel from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "How I Met Your Mother" opened for Maroon 5! Zomg he was hilarious, and he gave out his number in his last song. After the concert we got some crepes.... no, we're not in France... there's a crepes place right off campus. My crepe was delicious, it was a s'more crepe, graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallows and all. So overall last night was overflowing with win.

So, today is my open mic... as time inches closer to my time to perform, i cant help but feel a little nervous. But that's normal, homes.... I just gotta overcome whatever anxiety I may have... Blissful Anxiety.... lulz. I hope a lot of my friends come out to see me play, that would be great.

Now I've been listening to Maroon 5 for the past few minutes... I realized last night that I knew a lot more songs of theirs than I thought I knew. They're a pretty good band.

It's real nice out today... this weather is weird, there's like 20 degree differences between one day and the next o_0. Well..this post's fuel tank is around E....so I think I'll fill her up and hit the road again another day. Later =)

Update On My Life, Which Idk What To Do With

Hey guys.... Benny Rubes here. I feel like that would be a cool stage name for me, Benny Rubes. I took another hiatus from posting as you guys (all 4 of you) may have noticed. Well here's an update on what's been goin's on in my life since the last post:

I'm still doing good in school, but the work is getting harder and there's more work to do =/ but that's expected. The Yankees are champs once again =D *Plays "Empire State of Mind"*. I perform at the open mic tomorrow... wooo! Can't wait for that homes.... I just hope the act before me isn't too hard to follow >_<. I still have to pick out an oufit, which I've been having trouble doing so far. Maybe I just should wear anything, then I'll be most comfortable. Nah, chill... but it should be fun. I'm bringing my frisbee. The pool club i tried to start got denied without explanation by St. John's student government. Smh -_-.... it's whatevs... I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

This weekend has been awesome so far... last night I went to this peace and love gathering on campus. 'Twas a lot of fun, we hung out for a while on the Grrrrrrrrreat Lawn in front of the library. I literally didn't know anyone there except for one kid who was in my English class last year, but by the end of the night I had made a ton of new friends. A few people including myself brought guitars to play, that was a lot of fun. I showed my new peace and love friends some of my songs and they liked them, so that was cool. I'm gonna be performing my two fave original songs tomorrow, Blissful Anxiety and Make You Happy. I still feel like Make You Happy needs to be fine tuned a little more but I have to wait until midday of the morrow to do that.

So Idk what I want to do for a career guys... I'm in college as a Psych major and creative writing minor, but both of those fields are hard to break into and very competitive, so Idk really. I was thinking of looking into becoming a Physician Assistant. Idk, I'm just very uncertain when it comes to that. I think I should just do what I love and try not to worry about all the particulars for now. But in the back of my mind I just feel like I'm not gonna land a job out of college, or at least not a good one. Yarg.

Anyways it's 2:13 in the morning.... and I'm not the least bit tired. I'm actually getting slightly hungry, even after my s'mores crepe... zomg it was awesome. I have nothing else to write about really... not feeling very random tonight. So i guess I'll later guys you see... Reese's Peaces =).
