One thing that I don't like about Facebook is... well, making too many status updates.
Well some people update their status every 10 minutes but what I'm trying to talk about is... I'll just give an example.
Say I make my status "I just got a pony!" then the next day I'm hanging out with a friend and I tell them that I just got a pony and they reply: "I saw that on Facebook."
Making too many (or any meaningful) status updates gives you less to talk about? Or less to tell? It's happened a few times were I've told someone and they've seen it on Facebook. And I'm like "oh.."
But here's what I do. If someone tells me something that I've seen on Facebook I don't tell them that I saw it on Facebook. Maybe it's to make myself look less like a creeper but I'd like to think it would make the person feel better telling me something I "don't know".
This is kind of like those situations were you tell someone something and THEY WERE THERE. I think I have a good memory but it's happened to me and I feel like an idiot. I've also been on the other side when I'm the one saying, "yeah, dude, I was totally there."
Just wanted to randomly blog that junk before I forget. Even though I do have a good memory. And a supper random side note: I hate how my darn external hard drive always messes up...
Oh and I almost forgot: I have a good memory.

New Music
(well it's new for me)
I recently purchased some music. I'm gonna talk about it.
I ordered Jonezetta - Popularity, The Classic Crime - Acoustic EP Seattle Sessions and XV Live by Project 86. Popularity is cool album, I like it. I've listened to it about 5 times through and while some of it starts to sound similar and blend together I enjoy every song and it is a welcome addition to my music collection. Seattle Sessions is good too. It's nice and chill, Seattle so far is favorite song off it. I've listened to thrice or so. Next is XV Live. This is a bit of a story...
XV Live was shipped before the other CDs but I got it at the same time... only I got the CD in a clear jewel case. This was because the CDs in the real cases were faulty. So I e-mailed them saying I needed a case. Two days ago I got the case in the mail PLUS another working CD. And then yesterday I got ANOTHER case in the mail. So I currently have four copies of the CD, two that work and two that don't and two cases. The package with the CD and case was sent on 12/29 and the case by it's self was sent 1/11... but I got it after... So they sent me an extra case because I thought they didn't send one but they sent an extra working CD... I e-mailed them to see if they want it back or whatever...
Soo... I listened to the album 3 times whilst driving to various locations and it's good. Not really a "fan" of live albums but yeah, I dig it. And what's sweet is that in the booklet there's a note that I'll quote right now:
"..to an unforgettable night at The Niverville Fair in Winnipeg"
I was there. NBD. It was a sick show and I got to meet Andrew Schwab for the second time. He's a cool guy. I also ordered his latest book which was an interesting read.
So I've been listening to those jams lately but recently I've been listening to some Angels & Airwaves as well as Emery. AVA makes a good soundtrack to a morning bus ride even though it makes me wish you could mosh on public buses. Emery is putting out a new album in March and I'm super excited for that. Toby and Matt also started a side project called The Water And The Well. They've got a few jams on myspace and I'm diggin' it.

The Good Old Days
Sometimes I wish things were the way they used to be.
"The good old days"
When I'd spend countless hours with my friends doing crazy stuff without a care in the world.
Sometimes I wish time would go faster. When I was pumping gas everyday I wished it was now... living in the city, going to school. Now I wish it was summer. Partly because it's cold out now but mainly because I love summer.
When I was a kid I don't ever think I wished I was grown up. I've stayed the same. The world has just gotten smaller and stupider (kids are dumb and I was no exception).
I try to write songs. I once wrote a song with the line "These are the good old days". It was about just being content with where you are and not missing opportunities.
It might just be me but I think many people want to get a certain phase of life over with and think the next one will be better.
In high school I guess I wished I was graduated. Working, I wished I was in college. Now I wish it was summer (but I am enjoying college) but I'm scared to graduate college because then I'll have to look for a job.
Currently I'm in school until 5pm Monday to Friday. And after that I don't feel like doing anything... The other day I went to bed at 8:30.
I was fortunate to spend lots of time with friends over Christmas break. But times like these I think are necessary. I'm not sure what I mean by that but we can't be having all fun all the time.
I try not to wish it was my grade 11 and 12 years when I hung with my bros a lot and I try not to wish this time would fly by.
To sound rather corny: Everyday is a gift. Everyday has potential. Even a day were I'm in school 8-5 and get home and feel like doing nothing can be "a good old day" if I make it one.
I could be emo and sit in my room with my guitar or I could be content with the huge number of blessings that I realize I have when I take a minute to just slow down.
