It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
-- John Dryden

 

Yea...um about that OBU....

Well I am going to go ahed and post song lyrics...its been awhile since I have done it so its alright in my book.  I just have to say rock on for iPod shuffle mode.  This came up and I couldnt believe this song.  It is perfect for this summer and I wanted to share it.
 
Third Eye Blind- Motorcycle Driveby
 
Summer time and the wind is blowing, outside in lower Chelsea.
And I dont know what I'm doing in this city,
The sun is always in my eyes,
It crashes through the windows, and I'm sleeping on the couch,
When I came to visit you,
Thats when I knew that I could never have you,
I knew that before you did,
Still I'm the one who's stupid
And theres this burning, like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, and I've never been so alive.

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by,
The cigarette ash flies in your eyes, and you dont mind, you smile,
And say the world doesnt fit with you.
I dont believe you, you're so serene.
Careening through the universe, your axis on a tilt, you're guiltless and free,
I hope you take a piece of me with you,
And there's things I'd like to do that you dont believe in,
I would like to build something, but you'd never see it happen
And theres this burning, like theres always been,
I've never been so alone, and I've, I've never been so alive,

And there's this burning, ah ha, there was this burning. aye yie yie

Where's the soul. I want to know, New York City's evil.
The surface is everything, but I could never do that,
Someone would see through that.
And this is the last time, we'll be friends again.
And I'll get over you, you'll wonder, who I am.
And there's this burning, just like there's always been,
I've never been so alone, alone, and I've, and I've, I've never been so alive, so alive

I go home to the coast. It starts to rain, I paddle out on the water alone,
Taste the salt and taste the pain. I'm not thinking of you again,
Summer dies and swells rise, the sun goes down in my eyes, see this rolling wave, darkly coming to take me, home,
And I never been so alone, and I've never been so alive.

Update time...

Alot has happened this summer.  It started off alright, I got to play some good music and just hang out with friends for the most part.  Got to be close again with two of my best friends, which is always good.  Then I was a groomsman in Brad & Regina Nickerson's wedding.  That was a lot of fun and I got to make a new friend in Mr. Steve.  Umm then I came back to Bartlesville and got back to work.  Got into a relationship that didn't work out...but that happens.  Turned 21 somewhere in there.  I've gotten to go to Tulsa and hang out with Jacob a few times.  Philip and I have been bumped up to an apartment when we get back to OBU which rocks like you don't believe.  I am looking forward to getting back to school and hanging out with all you guys.  Adios Muchachos.

The Journies
Eric Strimple

The paths we walk through these skies
Full of potential and traces of old selves
Are laced with hope, laughs, and sighs
As we put our memories upon lofty shelves
Inside our minds safely away from all doubt
When we have come closer to the village ahead
Our regrets we strive to clean up and clear out
To be gone when our friends remember the dead
Scars remind us of the stumbling stones left behind
As we pave the way for those to follow our trail
Hoping that what was lost to us, they can find
Once we have reached the ending and set sail
The destination looks small in the distance
But the length of the journey is unknown
Because we can be there in an instance
Or the miles could tire us to the bone

So here we are, alone in the dorm room surrounded by work... just taking a short break to fill you all in on my life.  I am very happy with the person I am developing into.  I think I have become more responsible, I have a more level head on my shoulders, and I am striving to become more intelligent.  Not reading studies until 4 o'clock in the morning, but I have picked up a book that I have never read before an am working on getting through it.  I have startedl writing plays, fiction, and music again in my alone time in the dorms.  When I am with people I am too distracted, and I am hesitant to show my work to others now.  This alone time I have is so soothing to me.  When I am with my friends, I am extroverted, generally loud, care-free, and sometimes stupid.  I love my all-american image because that is who I am around most people, but this time I have alone allows me to bring out my more intellectual side, and bottle of water in one hand and a copy of "the Scarlet Letter" in the other. (Yes, that is my new read.  It was a required reading in 11th grade, but Sparknotes were there.  I am determined to see what I missed out on.)  I'm also working on "Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf?" for Acting II.  I read through it again today in the library, I went in and grabbed a DVD of Hamlet for background noise, sat in the media center and just read, grand fun, no really.  Like I said, I am happy with myself right now because I feel like I am actually a functioning person.  It sucks that these changes didn't come sooner in the term when my grades could have been affected, but there is always the Fall.  This semester, which looked liked it was going to turn out horribly, has for the most part been great for my development as a person, though there is still somethings I am figuring out.  But in the meantime, say hi if you see me, ask me how I'm doing if you like me, and if you love me let me know .  For now I must return to Scarlet Letter, my pen and highliters are ready.
