On a Regular Day...

Every morning I get up around 8:15am. I get dressed, brush my teeth and all the rest, and then make a cup of coffee (single-cup style) which I drink in front of my computer screen while reading Drudge, Pitchfork, and a few other music blogs. Sometimes, to change things up a bit, I'll have a granola bar. Then I go to class. Then work (where I check Drudge, the music blogs again). Then more class. Then more work (depending on the day). Sometime in between I might (if I have time) have lunch. Sometimes I'll do a little catch up work or take an hour off and play guitar between classes and/or work. At about 4-5:30, I sit in my room and waste time on Facebook or more Pitchfork or whatever. Sometimes I'll watch The Office or 30 Rock. Sometimes I'll read some poetry. This is that awkward time of the day when I refuse to do anything productive. Then I eat dinner. Then I spend approximately 6:30 to 12am on school work. I allow myself a break every other night to practice piano.
And believe me, this never changes. It is pretty much the same monotonous routine every single day. I need change. I feel something already growing up inside me that will change me if it hasn't already. I'm thinking of entering this writing contest for the Atlantic. I had a dream about being published. Ha.
I've been reading Dostoevsky and Nietzsche and poetry (Lowell, Eliot, Pound, Carson, Bensko). Watching Match Point, Miller's Crossing, and The Office. Listening to a mix I made that contains Bright Eyes (digital ash), Arcade Fire, Rancid, Ratatat, Great Lake Swimmers, Beatles, Dylan, Animal Collective, Jenny Lewis, David Bazan, Casiotone, Sufjan, Ryan Adams, Daniel Johnston, Damien Rice/Jurado, Menomena, Belle and Sebastian, Nirvana (unplugged), Simon and Garfunkle, Sufjan, Wilco, etc. In other words, being unoriginal again.
Here is what I have been up to:



PS, I know this shouldn't be for ranting, but I couldn't help myself.
PPS, Here is the real reason I posted: http://rhodesradio.org
It is the radio station I help out with at my school. I'm hosting a music show with my friend Scott, so as soon as that is up and running, I will let you know (whoever "you" are).
PPPS, ONCE will be on DVD in December. Preorder HERE.
