Seeds of Hope - Falling Apart.
Day 28. Oh man, my first celebrity crush? Hmm…I’m not entirely sure. Probably the pink power ranger. She was smokin.
imfeelingcloudy-deactivated2011 asked: I love your blog. I completely agree with you on the whole, "born in the wrong time" thing. It's so important to fall in love with a person for who they are, not what they have to offer sexually. it is nice when the time is right though. I was going to add more, but that's basically it. lol. my name is alyx by the way. hi.
Day 27. I don’t think I have three favorite boy’s names, girl’s names, or names for pets. I wasn’t aware I was supposed to have favorite names. My bad.
Day 26. I would love to visit Hawaii someday. For a while when I was really depressed I just wanted to move there and get a little apartment by the beach with nothing but my guitars. I still might like to do that someday, but for the moment I’m not depressed and in need of isolating myself from everyone and everything I know. But one way or another I’m going there.

Day 25. The last book I read was a book called Plenty. I was supposed to read it my first year of college, but then I found out I didn’t have to take the class it was required for, so I stopped. I picked it up a little while ago and started rereading it and actually found it really interesting. It’s about this couple from Canada that tries to only eat food that comes from within 100...

So I put on brand new boxers when I got out of the shower a little while ago, and I may or may not have walked around with nothing else on for a while because I felt like an underwear model. Just sayin.
Now at the end of every day I lie awake at night and wait to feel the wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged, and hear my beaten heart exclaim, “Still I refuse to let her go.”
Day 24. The last movie I saw in theaters was Tron. I never saw the old one, but my best friend wanted to go see the new one, and it did look kinda epic. So we went and saw it at midnight in 3D, which was pretty rad. I smuggled in a vitamin water in my pants, per usual. The weird part is nobody ever questions the large vitamin water shaped bulge. Hmm..
Day 23. I love Lady Gaga’s music. It’s ridiculously catchy. Not a big fan of her image, but I do understand it. To each his own. But as much as I dig her music, I don’t listen to it very often because it reminds me of my most recent ex and bums me out a little bit.
Anonymous asked: i think that your views are a somewhat more mature take on things. you'll definitely find someone special that thinks like you do.
I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m pretty sure I was born in the wrong era. Nobody I’ve ever met thinks the way I do. Once in a great while I’ll meet somebody who shares my opinions on drugs and alcohol, but that almost never happens. I don’t know anybody who views relationships the way I do. I’ve never been one for hooking up. It just doesn’t feel right...

Sad night. No bueno.
Day 22. I don’t play sports anymore, except just for fun. I played soccer when I was little, took karate for nine years, threw the weight for a year in high school, then played rugby for two years, also in high school. My main hobby now is music. Music pretty much consumes my life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Adventures are cool too, but I don’t really have anyone to...
Day 21. Favorite subject to study…hmm. Well I’m not in school anymore, but in high school it probably would have been english or spanish now that I look back on it. Although psychology was really interesting when I took it in college, but my teacher was also gorgeous, so that probably helped. But above all of those would be just about every subject when I went to school for massage...
Girls are all nuts. No exceptions. Some just realized it and did something about it.

Day 20. I do wear glasses. Almost every day, save for the rare occasion when I put contacts in. I need to order new glasses though, Chelsea told me about some website where she gets all of hers from. But yea. I can’t see things far away, I always forget if that’s nearsighted or farsighted. I’m gonna guess nearsighted. All my friends try on my glasses and go “wow,...
Look on the bright side.
dirtyteeth asked: this is going to be the best. trip. ever.
dirtyteeth asked: you so cute

So when Seeds of Hope takes off and gets signed to Fueled By Ramen, I decided I’m gonna do a video of me and Amanda running around in Ikea for one of the cute love songs. Pumped? You better believe it.
Day 19. I can honestly say I do not have a single crush, not even a celebrity one. I’ve accepted the fact that a girlfriend is not in the cards for me (I wrote all about that a few weeks ago), and I’m happy putting all my time and effort into my music. Having the luxury of worrying about nobody but yourself is one I’ve never really had up until now, which is why I consider it a...
I think the fact that I’m so unsatisfied with my own life plays a big part in why I try to make sure everybody else enjoys theirs as much as possible.
Day 18. I do drink soda more often than milk. I have a mountain dew problem. But I drink more water and vitamin water than anything.
dreamsintheformofwords:
Best fran Dan’s band...
Day 17. I don’t have a particular opinion on ugg boots. I mean, I’m not the one wearing them. I guess I have just as much of an opinion on them as I do on any other girl shoes, none. Except for toms. Girls who wear toms are automatically rad in my book.
Day 16. Favorite Disney princess movie? Hmm…I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see the princess part and say Lilo and Stitch, or Brink for a Disney Channel movie.
You know those days when you wake up and put music on, and it happens to be the perfect band for that point in time and makes you feel like you’re ready to take on anything the world can throw at you? That’s what happened this morning, and that band was Shai Hulud. We’re gonna kill it at this show today, whether or not we get a ton of snow in the process.
dirtyteeth asked: i would never judge a man for loving cheese
Day 15. Is Taco Bell considered junk food? Haha. I guess I don’t really eat much junk food, but I do have a problem with cheese. I put cheese on everything I can. Don’t judge me.
