Micah’s Blog

So I was in the middle of typing up a reaction paper for chemistry when I thought I would stop.I needed to take a couple minutes to express myself outside of MLA format.
It’s weird but the last couple of days I have felt like I was in a rut.
I realize as I get older, that this is a natural occurrence in one’s life.The world becomes small and un inspiring. But as I thought about it more, I think I am almost love this feeling.Because I know, at least with me, that feeling never lasts.
It’s funny, but you never know when inspiration is gonna hit. It could come with meeting a new person, or in the middle of typing your term paper.:)
It’s that flash, that moment of clarity. The moment, that makes you just smile for no reason, and then laugh out loud when you realize how stupid you must look walking around with a huge grin.
I like to hold on to those moments, but I realize that I wouldn’t get that moment without the blah feelings before.
One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Vannilla Sky “ The sweet is never as sweet without the sour”.
So when it’s pouring down rain this weekend, don’t sweat it, the sun will shine soon enough. And you will love it up just that much more.

Thought I would do things a little different this post. Instead of listing things I’m stoked on, I’m posting a list of songs that might just help get out of your own rut. Pretty much because I’m a tad bit obsessed with music.

1. T.I. “Whatever you like”
2. Jack Johnson “ Lulaby”
3. 2pac “ picture me rolling”
4. Weezer “ Say it ain’t so”
5. Van Halen “ Hot for Teacher”
6. Journey “ Don’t stop believen”
7. Brother Ali “ Walking Away”
8. Billy Joel “ Only the good die young”
I could go on forever, so much good music out there.
Oh and if your looking for a movie to get you out of your funk, a personal favorite is Garden State.

If any one was wondering what to get me for Christmas….

Mondays are a great day for reflective thoughts…My Monday has brought these so far.

Still trying to recover from this weekend….
wedding was short but good….
ties are uncomfortable….
mornings are cold when you don’t have turn signals…
camera lost or stolen….
hot tubs are risky buissness….
the world series is non existant without my sox
midterms are here….
jogging is a must today….
2pac can’t be dead….
no more procrastinating for school work.

The term is halfway over and it’s time to get serious. Papers are due and tests are waiting to be taken.

* The music in my ear at the moment is November Rain by Guns and Roses. Perfect soul searching music:)

Well folks it’s here, my favorite season.

The season that gives adults a chance to act like kids, family’s to come together spending hours carving pumpkins, and neighborhood kids spending seconds smashing them…

I don’t know why I like fall so much, I just always have. Not because I’m one of those halloween extremeists that spend the whole year planning their perfect costume.And I don’t really care about Thanksgiving too much. The thing that really gets me off about fall is that it’s a fresh start for me. So much begins in the fall, school, colder weather, and the general well being of myself. Most would argue that New Years is that fresh start, but who gets all fired up to change their life in the middle of the winter?
That just seems crazy to me. It’s too cold to radically change your life.
So If your new years resolution didn’t work out the last couple years, try making a new years resolution now, when the weathers not as bad and when your somewhat fresh from the heat of the sun.

gotta head to class, so I’m gonna wrap this one up

THINGS MICAHS STOKED ABOUT…
1. Got the weekend off. Now this is an epic event, I don’t ever get weekends off, so you could say I’m stoked!
Friday is pretty locked up, I’m going to hang out with my ex and carve pumpkins…( I’ll let you know how that one works out…)
Saturday day will be mostly filled up with my mom’s wedding stuff. Here’s a pic of her…beautiful huh

Then for the night, I think an early prediction would be the cage fights here in Salem. Then off to an after party, at my friends…They just moved into a house with a hot tub…yup.
Sunday will spent doing homework and watching football. Might even play some too.

2. This coffee:)

3. My buddy Griz for helping me out with this entry

He single girls…
4. New episodes of one of the funniest shows on t.v, It’s Always Sunny In Philidelphia. If you enjoy laughing, check this out.

As far as music, I’m writing this in the coffee shop, so all I have been hearing is classical Christmas tunes…BAh

So thought I would start out my first blog with telling you what i’m stoked about…The Boston Red Sox just happen to be playing some incredible baseball. (Sorry if your not a baseball fan )

If you have been following the series, then you already know that Boston was down 3 games to 1. Boston has since come back to tie the series at three games a piece. Game 7 is tonight, and i am fired up! Early predictions are that Boston is going to take this game, then sweep the world series.

Ok, enough sports chat.

This blog is going to be a bit mixed with random things that i’m stoked on, with a bit about college as well.With the third week of school in the books I gotta say this year has been interesting so far. My history class is pretty dope. Taylor Marrow is definitely a cool instructor. He’s giving a different perspective on US history, than what we learned in High School.

Raquet ball is as usual pretty stellar, if anybody wants to play I’m down at the courts MWF from 1230-130, so come get down.

Let’s see what else, every post I will try and give you guys a list of things that I’m stoked on. It can be anything from sports, music, movies, or anything that I wanna share!

THINGS MICAH’S STOKED ON!

1. The new Murs album dropped! If your not up on this guy, he has been out for awhile in the underground hip hop world. His new album is called Murs for president.

Check out one of his video’s <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?

2. My Moms getting married, yep, next Saturday. Me and my brother will be walking her down the isle. And as of yet I’m dateless, so if any girls interested hit me up

3. Good news about my transfer… If you know me then you know that i’m trying to transfer to a school over in Boston next year. But, my GPA isn’t as high as needed. I was struggling because no matter how good I did during a term I couldn’t bring it up. But have no fear, I met with my counselor, and he told me to just retake the classes that I had failed and the old grade would be erased. Such good news. So next term I’m taking all classes that I hadn’t done the best in. So the counselors here really do help!

4. All the cute girls around campus…you know who you are!:)

So in closing, I will try and post something at least two or three times a week. It will usually be a little random, just because that is how my brain operates. Oh and last thing, I’m a huge music fan, so every entry I will let you know what I’m listeneing to while I write. I’m listening to Matisyahu, if your not up on this guy. You should be…Micah
