Sigur Ros concert review coming at some point... but first:

I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
I love you, the best
Better than all the rest

It was certainly Indian Summer today-90 fricken degrees!! What's up with that-it's September 12th!


Where were you on 9/11/01?

sigur rós!

That's right my friends, (whoever decides to read my ramblings, anyway) tonight i'm going to the Tower Theater in Philly for what should be a kickass show by this Icelandic quartet. All you could ever want to know about this band can be found here: http://sigur-ros.co.uk/ I shall report back my experiences here later.  If I had to describe the band, i'd say that they are modern classical for the rock crowd-full of haunting, dramatic mood swing pieces.  Insert Icelandic (or, as is the case with their album (), Hopelandic, a made-up language) lyrics and you've got a very interesting mixture of the eclectic and the surreal.

I just read that Chief Justice Rehnquist died tonight at his home... it is a sad situation, but I really think he should have stepped down months (if not years) ago-hopefully the man is in a better place. 

Notre Dame Football is in gear!!  Kicking Pittsburgh's ass is an excellent start to the Charlie Weis Era, I must say  

Wow, i'd been in school for 21 straight years, and now that I have no more school, (at least, i'm not going back right now) it feels quite odd that other people I know are going back right now, but I am not. 

I am going to try and get a job working at the New Castle County Courthouse - I volunteered there in the divorce unit (not the greatest job in the world, in fact, one of the most depressing!) a couple summers ago in hopes that the experience would count towards my internship in Human Services.  It didn't, but apparently everyone there loved me... I knew how to use a computer and picked up on their system in less than an afternoon.  I have no doubt that I could get a job there, it's just a matter of what kind of job might be offered to me.

Life is pretty hectic right now and I can't stand that!  I keep helping some of my friends who are stressed out - ignoring myself... I hope they will understand that it's not exactly a hypocritical stance on my part, but that I help people out because this is the primary job of a friend-to be there when people need you the most.  That said, I hope I get out of this funk soon: I don't need it!

River, did you bring me here?
Touch me now, wipe away my fear

I will follow you along the river
There many years carved the way
I am reaching for love that's gone astray
Now I cannot sleep some days
Beyond faded tears I hide
I wish the rain would stay away

Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes
Sometimes I forget I'm alive
I feel it coming and I've got to get out of its way
I hear it calling and I come 'cause I can't disobey
I should not listen and I shouldn't believe
But I do
Yes I do

SHE TURNS ME ON
She makes me real
I have to apologize
For the way I feel

My life, it seems has taken a turn
Why in the name of god would I ever want to return?
Peel off our skin we're gonna burn what we were to the ground
Fuck in the fire and we'll spread the ashes around
I wanna kill away the rest of what's left and I do
Yes I do

And nothing can stop me now
There is nothing to fear
And everything I'd ever want
Is inside a tear

Now I just stare into the sun
And I see everything I've done
I think I could have been someone
But I can't stop what has begun
When everything is said and done
And there is no place left to run
I think I used to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun

this story I found quite interesting: http://www.newsnet5.com/news/4885861/detail.html  

it's odd, because the article says "School officials are not sure what has contributed to so many pregnancies." Let me tell you, guys with masters degrees, how sexual intercourse works! Morons, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out! What it DOES take is education, obviously better educationthan what they're currently getting.
