Cool

You know what occured to me today? Well I wanted to be cool. But I was cool. Like, start up guitar again. I wanted to be in a rock band. I wanted to strum chords, make up my own stuff. So far on this trip, I've purchased the following things:

Coldplay- A Rush of Blood to the Head CD
Talking Heads-Remain in Light CD
The Beatles Rubber Soul T-Shirt
Led Zeppelin calendar
Maximum Ride: The Final Warning
The Lake House
Breaking Dawn
This other cool shirt that says Life Rules: 1. Born 2. Art School 3. Rock Band 4. World

I sort of decided to continue with trumpet mainly recently, but now I want to do both. Rock is cool. Simple pleasure. So is trumpet. Do both. I want to be one of those... really cool, polite, knowledgable teens. Does this sound... high ego-ish? I'm just setting goals. Or, sort of finding myself. My hair is growing pretty fast. It's like I need a haircut again. But I sort of like this length.

Hey, I think I'm maybe alright. In terms of yesterday and stuff. I think I was just overwhelmed you know. And it just... I've heard from several adults that doing this sort of thing (moving for a year, etc) is really extra hard for teens. So, great. It's just so... depriving. My friends have each other back home, and it always just seems like the best thing to be back there, and have them be alive for you. With you. So I don't see why they act so... casual about it or whatever. Guess this really sets stuff in perspective. It already has. Constantly.

But hey, you know what? Anthony said it was ok, he said I'd get through it. Tomorrow will be like exactly a third of the way done. Tomorrow will be the 4th month. I'll keep blogging, keep breathing, keep taking it all in. You guys are still alive and Abbey Road is still an incredible album.

Still would be great to talk to you guys for Christ's sake.

I think this song is my favorite of the Beatles: (first one below)

Click, because stupid YouTube/Blogger won't let me embed it.

I want to marry this guy. Well ok, not really but he still ROCKS.

The coolness to be elaborated on. Later posts, stuff.
