“When you’re dumb enough for long enough, you’re gonna meet someone too smart to love you, and they’re gonna love you anyway, and it’s gonna go so poorly.” – Neil Hilborn, Ballad of the Bruised Lung

Been awhile, life’s been crazy. I’ve been trying to find the time to keep writing but I just haven’t had any. I mean I have, but I’ve had no ideas really to make me want to write anything substantial in my opinion. It’s been a blur to be honest, I can’t believe a year has almost gone by since myself and guy started dating again.. and it makes me feel semi good, that I can make it better than the last time we dated since we both effed up the last time and several times after that. Seems like we can’t just get it right.. Maybe this time won’t be so bad… here’s to hoping!

I’ve taken some photos recently, with guy’s other camera the Sony a6000 and I like it. But I only like it with the 90mm Macro since it’s amazing. I kind of want it. But there’s no way I can afford the lenses for it. Yes, I can borrow his, but what’s that going to do for me should something happen with myself and him. I will never give up my Canon camera for something else. I would only add to it. I plan on trying to start a collection of some sorts and when I finally get a home, I will have a camera closet for all my things.

Here are a few shots of the Sony a6000 that I took just yesterday around Nanticoke, PA.

When you’re tired of waiting and time is not on your side
When you’re tired of hating me, you no longer want to hide

It’s time for another session of relaxation and tea bath before my roommates get home and take their long shower. I’ve been thankful enough to get to take some nice showers lately thankfully, and it’s helping my mood a lot surprisingly. *hand clap* Off I go because then I’m going to sleep forever tonight, maybe I’ll put my hair in curlers again. We’ll see since it seems to poof then I use them, lol!

Cheers,

Give Me These Moments Back

Leave a reply

It’s about 10PM on a Thursday night. I’m sitting on the couch on my laptop for once updating it finally and I have nothing to do. I have racked my brain for this entire week with job applications, interviews, and other things, and I need a break. I think my brain may explode if I do anything else today. I haven’t been able to sleep much recently either. I’m exhausted, but can’t fall asleep. Strange thing, you know, life? People float in and out of your life at the most random times and tonight, I’m seeing alot of that from everyone I associate with. One night they’re there to talk to, and open up to me, and the next they completely disappear for hours on end and don’t say a word. Well, my days go on and on without you here my dear.

Sometimes, I feel like just taking a bow and leaving everything behind and running away. Only sometimes though. Just me and the kitties and whatever money I have left and leaving or selling everything I own for more cash… and just going. It seems like a valuable option because at this point, I’m not sure what to do anymore. I don’t think I have much left here except a few people that I’d like to be around for a long time to come. And I highly doubt the one person I want to come with me will… but I’m not sure. I haven’t asked, but I’m certain the answer would be no or “good luck” and that’s it. I’m afraid to ask, even though I know we would want to.

I’m really starting to be bummed out about all this shit going on lately. My mind’s on overdrive right now and I’m not sure what to do anymore. Half of me is like eff this I’ll go home, and the other half, if not more, is like hell no, you need to do this the right way and not give up. Well, I’m almost at the point of giving up… and I hate to say that because I’ll be letting alot of people down including myself. I just hope I find a job I like soon. So far, there is nothing, and I can’t afford to live in the city with what I really am good at… Social Media or photography. There are jobs all OVER the place in places such as Dallas and NYC and California… but I can’t just up and leave and go… as much much much as I would. I really would.

I’m listening to Greg Laswell on my phone and man, do I love him. I owe that to Jim and a big thank you to him for introducing me to his music. While it’s sad and depressing it kind of makes me smile when I listen to him too. It’s odd, but I’m not complaining. There’s a quote at the bottom of this of mixed lyrics from him that mean something to me. I’ve been listening to him all night now and I can’t stop. They’re like the new Poets of The Fall for me, and that’s saying something because POTF is my favorite band still to this day and I get laughed at it sometimes for it.

I know this blog is really scatterbrained tonight, but that’s how my mind is alot of the time and I don’t even know how I deal with it sometimes, let alone other people and my close friends. I don’t know how I’m even enjoyable sometimes, to be honest. I’ve been so shitty lately and sad and miserable because of the stupidest things.. and I hate myself for it. Maybe I need to just get up and start one day like it’s going to be the best day ever and see what happens. I’m so sick and tired of being sick and tired. The people I want to be with, don’t want to be with me, and the one I don’t want to be with want’s to be with me. How ironic? I’m not really sure  what to make of anything anymore. I’m so frustrated, and so overwhelmed by everything these days and so stressed out, and I know I really shouldn’t be. I wish I were happier all the time like some people I know around here. Maybe I do need to move and leave everything. Maybe I just need a fresh start. Be farther away from family because well, apparently, I’m not thought of much and when I am, the only people who still seem to care are Poppop and my mom so it would seem. Two is better than none, I’d say though.

Laswell

I might be gone a little while. I guess we’ll see. I have to make a home out of something… I should probably say that I’m unsure why I’m running away from the one thing that I love. Maybe down the road, I’ll see you in a blur.

Cheers,

Psych: The Musical *SPOILERS*

Psych - Season 7

I am currently sitting here watching Psych The Musical’s Premiere on USA Network Television. Now, I love Psych, don’t get me wrong at all, but I already see a problem with it. Shawn’s lip-syncing most of it and there’s a voice over. At least with Gus you can’t really tell from the opening. I don’t think it’s my TV as so much as the source it’s playing from. I could be wrong, and don’t take my word for it. But from that opening scene, it seems like the whole thing is just streamed in the background.

So far this is interesting to watch. Psych haven’t been on the TV in quite sometime, and I was almost forgetting it was existing. This one, however, is a good plot so far because it is about a Playwright and looking for actors/singers. I love Broadway and most Musicals that you can find on video and on Broadway.

Low and Behold… look who makes an appearance.. Anthony Rapp. Who does Anthony Rapp play on a musical on film… none other than Mark in the musical RENT. I knew his voice as soon as it hit the screen and saw his face. He is an amazing singer and his performance in RENT was beyond top-notch for me.

My my, Carlton’s voice is quite interesting if you ask me. (If it’s really his!) He has a nice deep voice. I quite admire it if I do say so myself. Jules, on the other hand, I do not believe she should sing. She has a more soft voice and it doesn’t mix well with Carlton’s voice and Shawn’s. 

Of course, Ally Sheedy has to make her appearance back on Psych The Musical. She is back as her character, Mr. Yang. Her character was a psycho killer in three previous episodes of Psych. Her character in Psych is one of many I do enjoy. On a side note: Gus’ next line is the one that makes me smile the most: “I sell the drugs that keep you people from seeing dragons at night.” Her standing there with balloons on the middle of the stage is kind of creepy if you ask me. She does bring some color to the stage there in this scene, if you ask me. “Lassie, stop it!”

Alright, now, at least this time when Jules sings, it seems like she’s actually singing while she’s dancing. Gus, is quite the dancer! Which makes sense, because he HAS been on Broadway before and enjoys the theatre as much as I do. “That’s it, Gi-gantor, lock her back up!”

Barry Bostwick makes an appearance in this episode. He was in The Rocky Horror Picture Show back in 1975 as Brad Majors- A Hero (according to IMDB) He’s also set to play in the new Scorpion King coming out in 2014.

“It’s like calling yourself Jean Claude Van Damnit.” 

Some very nice Phantom of the Opera music played when someone falls from the catwalk in the next scene when they are looking for Miles. The actor cast as the “Inspector” in the play The Ripper, had stated that he just saw him going up the catwalk… cliche scream, and someone drops from the ceiling. *Cue Phantom Music* Very nicely done, but predictable.

Woody, Kurt Fuller is amazing in this. He’s great for the part in this series, but has a very different one in Supernatural. He plays a badass character in Supernatural, and in Psych, he is a hilarious heart-felt humorous guy who you’d never think would be an angel in a hardcore series. Two very different roles, but he’s amazing at both of them. Brooke Lyons appears in this show as well. She plays Elisa, the actor who was not invited back to this show from the previous one. Brooke also played in 2 Broke Girls for a short time, the TV series.

Shawn jumping through a pane of glass had him let out probably the funniest little shriek I’ve ever heard from him. (“Did you hear about Pluto? That’s messed up right?” Gus always has the best one liners in this show. I hope that’s how he is in real life.) The moment they all leave the car… Mr. Yang (Sheedy) of course, escapes. Just what they needed, right? Who thinks she has a hand in this mystery again? I do wish she would be a good person. I think she deserves it, even though she’s in the mental institution… all people deserve a second chance.. no?

Shawn sneaking out of the police office is great. Mister Yang Skype calls Shawn in the middle of the Police briefing and Shawn proceeds to teach her a dance through Skype with Carlton staring at him through a window. Sneaking back in was no surprise either.. he steals Gus to teach her more through Skype. She gives them one bit of info, and then hangs up. Typical Mister Yang… don’t you think? Drinking juice boxes in the mental hospital ward… classy boys, classy.

“You’re a good-looking man when you’re humble.” -Carlton. Man, he is just blowing it out of the park with his voice in this so far, if that really is his voice. I think he should get into singing on Broadway as well, like Gus. Karen’s got a nice solid voice that I can also be seeing on more film in the future. That makes me happy, I was waiting for her to sing. This must have taken a lot of time to put together, all this dancing and choreography that they put into this, i can understand why it was put off until the middle of December, haha. The small little dances in this just seems like it can take months for them to perfect and not laugh during the filming.

The four of them make a great team. Yes, let’s shout at the killer and make him run off. Of course he was there the night of the fire! Where do you think he was going to be while his play was running, sitting at home twiddling his thumbs? I think not! He’s going to be there. (I don’t think Armitage is the killer, but you never know; have to go with the story line.)

Turns out… he’s just a crappy husband. 

Oh joy, leave it to Mister Yang to call Shawn in the middle of his dad’s house.. Way to go dad, just hang up on the girl why don’t you? Let’s go look for the guy who’s killing everyone now, why don’t we? Wow, this guy really is insane… I LOVE IT. … All the while that Gus is trying to get a part in the musical that they are making.. and is not succeeding at all.

Ahh, leave it to Mister Yang… aka Sheedy. Man, can Gus take any longer to run down those stairs? Poor Shawn is standing there dangling by his neck and he’s trying to help him… but he’s taking his sweet old-time it seems like.. Let’s sing her a song.. “Wang, yeah, wang, I like Wang.” -Gus

They’re just getting everything wrong in this one… I wonder who the real killer is.. Now I’m not going to give the ending away, but it ends with a very nice song sung by Shawn while playing the inspector on stage at the play! “Blood will spill, so please come running.”

*That awkward moment when Gus starts tapping on stage to improvise during the show..*

With the end just here, you all need to o and watch it. I told you everything you need to know to be suspicious about who the killer is.. I’M MAKING YOU ALL GO WATCH IT!

NEW SEASON OF PSYCH PREMIERES JANUARY 8TH! WHO’S EXCITED?!
