So this "break" has gone by way too quickly. In fact, I worked so much that it just seemed like a regular week. I'm just so tired of working hard and not seeing any benefits from it. No matter what I do, things just seem to always get worse. Lately, I have been going through my past and thinking about all the decisions I would have made differently. I know it's useless and kind of pathetic, but I just can't stop imagining what my life could have been like had I just made a couple different choices.
But anyways, this is my last full week of school. After this, I have a week of finals then a month off to do nothing but work! My sister is also coming home in about a week so I am kind of excited about that. Is it sad that those are the only two things I am excited for???
I've been listening to a band named XO recently and I have really been liking them. It's 2 of the members of Say Anything's side project and I think they're good. It's more of a straight-up rock sound but I do enjoy some variety once in a while.
That's all I have for now. I'm sure I'll update with more random points here in a couple days!+

Where's the break at?
So I realized my Thanksgiving break is lacking one large thing: the break! I originally had to work everyday but talked my way out of a shift on Wednesday. Good news, right? Well I get home and tell my dad this and then he says, "Well that's good, now you can help me clean the whole house tomorrow." Not exactly my idea of relaxing! *sigh*
In other news.... I don't really have any other news. Sports, which usually are my go to source of entertainment, have been horribly disappointing this year. Notre Dame football sucks and IU is one year away from being decent so expect a lot of swearing and grumpy moods for me. And now my XBOX 360 is broken too so I'm out of video games and a dvd player in my room for like 6 weeks!
I really like the album The Room's Too Cold by the Early November. I've always loved it but have really been listening to it more lately. The song "Everything's Too Cold... But You're So Hot" has been one of my favorite songs to listen to lately. It's so slow and sad that I just think there is something really nice about it. I also read that Ace Enders sang it all in one take right after he got off the phone with his girlfriend so all the frustration at the end of the song is so genuine. I also heard he stormed out of the studio and threw his headphones against the wall and broke them! Pretty intense but I think it's a good story! The album is a lot less punky than the stuff I usually listen to but I think it's an all-around solid album and don't have to skip any songs on it. I've been really big into listening to albums all the way through lately. Even if I don't like the song that much, I keep it on the keep the flow of the album going.
That's all I have to say for now. I hope all 2 of you can wait a few more days for my random thoughts!
Sincerely,
Me

So it's been a while
I'm bored and online a lot so I figure I can throw some of my random ideas in here once in a while:
Love always,
Ryan
- I really love scrolling my iPod by album covers. I always thought it was so lame on tv but it rocks in real life. Also, finding band pictures for live albums is highly entertaining.
- I recently downloaded Enema of the State by Blink-182 and was surprised to still know all the words. I still listened to some of the songs via live albums but I still knew the words to Mutt and the Party Song and I haven't heard either song in at least 6 years. Why can I remember these words but not remember to take out the garbage?
- How come I haven't won the lottery yet? My life would be way cooler with like 10 zeroes added on to my bank account.
- I'm so ready for school to be over.
- Another reason the lotto would be killer is because then I would never have to work at my shitty jobs again!
- I really wish Midtown and The Early November would reunite. Maybe even reunite and then tour together!?!?!? I'll just pay them an obscene amount to play in my basement when I win the lottery!
- Why do my life's plans revolve around winning the lottery?
- Bullets were a silly idea for this blog entry.
- I still need more old-school rap for my iPod, any suggestions?
Love always,
Ryan
