Home Alone

Here I am all alone sitting in my living room. My family has once again dispersed and gone their own seperate ways. This time it is kinda strange and I feel like I have kinda switched places with my parents for this time they have left and I have of couse stayed here. Its kind of weird in a way. They went to Mrytle Beach which I so wish I could have gone to cause I didnt really get a spring break because of tour with Chamber Singers which was more work than play but still pretty kickin. Katie has gone off to Vermont with her man friend, aka boyfriend, aka jeff, aka jeffy poo <--- thats my name for him, he's a good guy. Pete is back to school in NYC where he has been all year if you didnt know, I think its pretty kickin. Colleen is off playing with her hands at school Keuka. Which for all of you that dont know means practicing sign language cause thats what she does now and I think forever more, which, also in my opinion is also pretty kickin. I think it would be cool to know sign language and be able to speak without really speaking but I have not the will power to learn it.

Anyways what I was going to say before I went on a tangent about where everyone in my family is now in their lives I was going to discuss how it is nice on holidays when we all come home now and eat dinner together or just sit and talk about intelligent things which we did the two nights we were all home. The first night I was home we sat down to eat at 6 and none of us left the dinner table until 9 because we were all so enthrawled in the conversation we were having it was good times. I think its cool to see how even though at the end of every holiday we all go back to our other lives we can still come back together and being family and enjoy eachother for the most part. Now that I live away from home for more than half the year I come to appreciate them more and home more I find. It is really nice to see them and see how they are doing and stuff. It is especially nice to see my brother because he never comes home unless it is a major holiday now so its like an extra special treat to see him. Now I talk to him every once and a while on line about music and stuff, well mostly music which I think is pretty cool, but we dont talk too often. Colleen and I talk way more now too which I find is pretty cool. Its weird though cause we talk way more when we are both at school then when we are home I find.  I think its cause when we are home we live pretty much the same life, we have all the same friends and do all the same things which nice sometimes but its like hanging around with a friend way too much and then you get annoyed with them its kinda like that only she is my sister so I never get to get away from her so she can get annoying but when we are at school we live different lives and have different friends and do different things so we can talk about our two seperate lives and what we do its cool. Katie and I only talk about music related things while I'm at school cause thats where we can relate to eachother for the most part. I'm not a music major anymore but I did experience the music program that she went all the way through so I kinda know what she means for the most part when she talks about things that happen at Mason. My parents and I only talk lately when I need serious help with stuff such as where the hell am I going to school next year and what am I doing, the answers to both in the same order are UB and environmental design as my major and architecture as my minor. They help a lot and I enjoy them .I enjoy them even more when they come to pick me up from school and when they give me money and pay for stuff for me. They are good parents I think. I like my family they are good people. It was good to see them all together these past two days.

This spring I am going to England, Scotland, and Whales with my choir. I think it will be fun. I dont really enjoy to many people in the group, I have split them up in my head into these groups: those that creepy me out, those that annoy me but I will hold a polite conversation with, those that annoy me so much that I avoid them at all costs, those I dislike, and those I can stand up to a point when I send them to the those that annoy me but I will hold a polite conversation with group. I think though that I am looking more forward to the few days before the trip that I will be spending with my brother in NYC. He is buying tickets to an Andrew Bird concert that we will be going to and I will pretty much just be chillin in NYC while he goes to work and stuff I'm excited for it.

Tomorrow I go back to the hell that I like to call school. Back to the Dons to finish off the semester. I cant wait for the end of the semester. I am only taking four classes but by gosh they are some of the hardest classes I have ever taken. I like the actual school but I hate the classes is really what I mean when I say the hell I call school. Th actual school is ok its the classes that make it hell. If I had a choice I would stay there I think, but, because they dont have the program I want there I must leave so I can exceed in life. Next year I will be living with one Joshua Boston and I'm pretty pysched for that. Its gunna be some good times and great oldies.

Earlier today I went to Andy Hauck's wake and I think thats what really got me thinking about my family and how much I enjoy them and how much they mean to me. I saw his two parents there and they were being strong but at the same time you could see how they were really feeling on the inside. But Maryanne seemed to be unaffected by the entire thing, like she did not really realize what had happened, that her brother was gone. It was strange to me but I guess it has to do with age.  They are good people and you could see how much they cared for eachother and how much Andy ment to them and it was sad and should never be the way. Parents should never have to bury their children, it just isnt right.  Through this terrible event I came to thinking about how much my family means to me and how I would feel if one of them was taken from me or us. So I guess thats why I talked so much about my family up there.

Anyways I guess the end of my freshman year is coming up and I would say that it hasnt really amounted to much but thats mostly my fault because I made such a radical major change that almost none of credits from my first semester are going to transfer next year. Oh well shit happens I guess. That has become my reasoning for everything lately. Shit happens and you cant really do anything about it most of the time so just get over it and move on with life. This summer I think I'm going to go to school some more and get some art classes under my belt at Brockport it should be good I think. I hope that maybe Nate and Josh and Erick and I can get a sweet camping trip in like we did last year.

Alright now that this post has gone on for long enough and I think you all have heard enough about what I have been doing lately and how I feel about my family and stuff of that nature. Actually I dont know if I really did tell you anything about what I have been doing lately but if you want to know you can ask me sometime, its cool. Since almost no one reads this anymore I guess I wont have to deal with talking to to many people about my life. So this is the end of the road for me and I'd proud of anyone that has gotten this far. A high five is in store for anything see me and have read all of this. Congratulations have a good life I'll catch you on the flip flop good buddy.  

Oh xanga how I've missed thee. So this weekend has been full of show seeing for me, first the opera, then suessical, then ben folds.

First off the opera, not bad, way better than I expected. In reality I thought I would be sleeping through it, but really it kept my nudivided attention and I thought it definitly met my expectations opera wise. The acting was not so great but it was way better than I thought it would be so that is good. The vocals were for the most part were good. My sister and I agree that Don Jose was a little weak and that they should have cast someone else in his part. All in all not a bad show I would say.

Secondly Suesical people let me just tell you how proud I am to know you and how proud I am of all you. You completely over shot my expectations with your production. You were all simply amazing. I have to tell you I am a little jealous that I was not part of that show. I hope you all are nominated for something for Stars of Tomorrow because you definitely deserve it.  We all miss you people and are probably going to be wandering about the halls of good ole BHS in a week or so, so be watching out for that.

Lastly Ben Folds. I dont even know what to say except that that man is a god among men and that if I could I would have his babies. That concert was friggin unbelievable. Oh it made my heart pitter patter and my insides very loose. Oh I love it. It was definitely worth it and was the greatest way to end a weekend if you ask me.

So thats about all thats been happening in the wide world of Kevin Selig here at Fredonia. Catch you all soon enough I imagine.

P.s. I changed majors, but were not going to get into that here, have a good one now.
