Did you know that asian pop music is horrible?
Well, It is.
I'm not even half way through this show and I want out. It's like Britney Spears barfed...they recorded the sound that it made...and asian pop is a bad imatation of that. No joke.
It's kinda cute and funny though sometimes.
I do like Eastern Youth and Melt Banana, but it's not that kinda show.

I think that new socks are the best thing in the whole world!
The only thing I can imagine that might be better is new socks with a friend...but this might have to wait 'til I find someone special. When you share something that is so amazing, like new socks...Oooof, you're done for. I bet the one I get new socks with will be the keeper. Most Def.

Dream...

Last night I had a dream that I was a choir director. Alot of the people I know and love were in it. We were practicing 90's alt rock tunes. I remember that Jesse Allen was a black man, and he had a solo during a goo goo dolls song. The whole dream had a happy feel to it.

I'm guessing I was the choir director in my dream because of my rising ego, which I hate. I've noticed lately that, maybe because of solitude and lack of connection with people away from work, I am completely full of myself. This needs to change. I will change. It's probably just a defence mechinism that I developed so that I don't feel alone. It works pretty good, but I don't like the way it feels.

Peace, Love, and Cheese,
Jeremy D.

My conversation with homeless man:

HM: Can you spare twenty-five cents?

Me: (Searching for change) Maybe...If I have it.

HM: Thanks man, anything helps.

Me: I have a dime, but that's it.

HM: Cool man! Thanks alot!

Me: No problem.

HM: Now all I need to do is find a blanket.

Me: Ya, it's starting to get cold isn't it.

HM: Ya...You wanna know what I do!?

Me: Sure.

HM: I go door to door and ask people if they have a blanket. Most people are nice, but some people are assholes. That's how you get a blanket.

Me: Ya, that sounds like it might work.

HM: Let's see how much I have. (Counts money) that's almost a beer.

Me: Ah, the liquid blanket.

HM: Yep! Thanks for talkin'!

Me: Bye.

Air Hockey, Studio, Large Man on a Vespa.

I was in the studio most of the day just playing around with protools and running it through the board. Also,  I found out that they have an old plate reverb in the back so I played around with that some too.

After that I beat Kori at Air Hockey...4 out of 7 games, it was really close. Probably the most intense game of Air Hockey I have ever played. The puck flew all over the room at extremely high speeds.

I saw something kinda humorous today. A large man sitting on a skinny man's lap on a vespa, on the freeway.

Life and Pacman

I found my journal tonight, and started reading through it.  Most of the entries are pretty personal, about specific people , or are prayers...but I found this one entry that I don't remember writting. It's short and completely absurd. It's in my handwritting, so I must have written it.  It's not dated, but it's probably about a year old:

"This is my shot; this is my chance to excell.
I feel like I'm playing pacman and I'm on my last life,
anxious and...there's ghost trying to get me,
memories that I have to swallow.
Lord help me in this time."

Peace Day

It was peace day today, so I did my best to negotiate for what I wanted instead of my usual "take and fight for it" method. Id say peace day was a success. I didn't kill anyone today, and no one killed me...it's a good thing.

Everything is going well here. A buddy from school might move up here to be my roommate, we get along very well, and work great with music together too.

While stuck in traffic today I saw a man, in a red car, who wearing a canadian flag jacket. The car had a mini canadian flag hanging for it's rearview mirror. He so gracefully represented canada as he clapped his hands to techno that was blaring out of his car. He was lucky that it is peace day, or I would have thrown down...whatever that means.

For some reason I kept smelling patchouli today. Also it smells like fall is coming.

"Girl! You be trippin'!"

If I said this to a girl I'd be proud of myself, but I said it to Thomas. It was cliche phrase day, and Thomas kept on taking all the good cliches. Thomas, Blair, and I were walking the streets of Seattle having a grand ol' time. We went to Pike Place, Elliot Bay Books, and all along 1st; we even saw the gum wall. After that we went up to Capitol Hill and met up with Candis. They got to do their Seattle shopping, and I had fun puting on sunglasses and hats, and trying to be funny by hold up girls clothing that I suggested I try on. Also there was this amazing jacket that had a pink liner that showed through the white of the outside layer of fabric...no bucks for clothing though. Life doesn't require clothing. I'm pretty sure I could live my dreams naked; actually that would be a dream come true for me: Wake up and just head out the door. Also, instead of a bunch of short showers, I'd rather take a really long one at the end of the week.

Life,
These are my demands. If you do not meet them, their will be sanctions.

After the outing I went to the studio 'til late, and I'm back at it this morning.
Lovin' it!

Friday: I did sound for a WSU pep rally downtown. I gained a new respect for cheerleaders; that stuff is tough!
Took the ferry to Bremerton. The view of the city was beautiful, and I had my pea coat on so I felt like a sailor for an hour.

Saturday: Took the ferry back to seattle. Went out on the town with Stacy Frolich. We went to the crocodile, then walked around by the water.

Sunday: Did laundry, cleaned room, chilled with Thomas and Blair.

Yo Digitty!

For the last two days this man has been walking past the studio screaming, "I'm sick of all this garbage!" He seems to just walk around yelling it over and over. I go out and watch him and I can hear him for blocks...He must have a strong voice to not loose it. He should join a hardcore band.

Typically I like the bums in Seattle though. They are less like bums, and more like hippies.

Today at the gas station by my house as I was paying for my Vitamin Water, because I refuse to pay for just plain water...although for some reason Fiji water taste better than most water. The gas station attendant decided to give me an opinion on my facial hair.

"People in america Don't like Beards, you should shave."Says Mr. gas station attendant. (who happens to be arab)

Me: "Oh ya?" (I'm a little suprised by this statement from a stranger)

Mr. Gas: "Here, Look...(He shows me his id card) This is me with a beard. Don't I look better now?"

Me: "Nah!" I say, "Either way looks fine." (I pull out my ID, which features a picture of my hairless face.)

Mr. Gas: "See! You more handsome there...and you should grow your hair out long too, girls like that."

Me: "You think? Alright, gotta go. Later!"

Mr. Gas: "Have a good day."

(I leave)

I missed my brother at the airport today. I was going to get to see him, but he was delayed in Copenhagen and that took up all of the layover time he would have had here to hang out with me. I'll see him in a week though when I'm in spokane...I'll see alot of you I hope.

Btw, those packing tape dispensers need to be redesigned.

Today I wore my first sweater in seattle.

I made a wrong turn last friday and my car got swarmed with people.
This turn happened to be a u-turn; I missed my planned turn due to traffic. So I made the next turn and turned around to head back to where I wanted to go. Mid-u-turn I found myself in the middle of a mob.

"How many?!" someone shouts into my open window.

"How many what?!" I respond.

"How many!? I hear again.

"What?!" I yell back.

"La..la..labor!" Someone speaks back in broken english.

"Oh! No labor, just turning around." I respond, relieved by the realization of what was happening.

I was surrounded by immigrants who wanted work. I got out fine once they realized I didn't have anything for them. Now I know where to go If I want to get some work done.

I'll be in Spokane soon for my sisters wedding, hope to see my spokane peeps.

The hole in the ozone is getting smaller...so says the news. I'm trying to care.

I found this coffee shop that is close to where I live.
I call it "Coffee Shop that Fathers Take there Sons and Daughters for Serious Talks." Kinda catchy, eh? Everytime I come here the shop is full of them, full of the talks; it's an extremely interesting place to eavesdrop, and somehow it's a great place to think. It feels familiar and nostalgic.

Holy Crap! I just looked out a window and saw the most amazing thing! Soccer moms dancing in their vans! An oddly incredible soccer mom parking lot party! There are 4 vans involved! Ahh!

(This is one of those lame sappy posts that makes you wish you could slap me and tell me to be a man)

I remember at some point in my life having friends, and not just having them, but spending time kickin' it, and sharing life together. I miss you all so much. I don't think you will ever know how much you mean to me. It's weird, moving away. When I went to Florida I missed all my Spokane friends, and somehow in my mind I pictured the day I would get to come back as a day when we would all get to hang out like old times, but every time I come back more and more friends become old friends. Then I made some great friends in Florida, friends that I will never forget, friends that I hope will never forget me. I think it's mostly my ego that lets me assume that people don't just move on and forget as time goes by. After all, I'm the one who left. I did this to myself.
Damn motivation! Damn emotions! Damn sleepless meloncholy nights dwelling on the past, and forcing thoughts on others thru xanga. It seems like I'm living my relationships thru this box.
I still Love you all, and treasure the time we have. I just miss you, that's all.
Part of me is excited, ready to take on the world! The other part just wants to sit down and have coffee with someone who matters, and listen as they talk about the latest not-so-tragic tragedy; you know, the meaningless chit chat that somehow molds meaningful relationships. It's hard to let go...and this might sound weird, but I miss hugs (LOL!)
What a dumb path I chose: the lone ranger! Off to see what life has to offer! Hi-ho red dragon! Lets go out all by your lonesome and have fun!...it's only fun everyonce in awhile, when later on you know that you will be hanging out with the people you love. I've had enough "me time" I think. Maybe I should go make some new friends. Seriously! What's been stoping me?! I guess my focus has been elsewhere, but it's about time. I've talked to alot of people here, alot of strangers that recieve a buisness card. Next time I have time, I'll go out and see what happens. Maybe I'll come home with an arm full of sharpied numbers and plans to hang out later. Please do not respond to this with sympathy, the last thing I need is pity. I'm doing great. :) I just miss you, that's all. Just know that I care. Know that I miss you; and whatever we shared, it means the world to me. I hope to hug you soon.

Peace, Love, and Cheese,
Jeremy D.

Update:

I got my dream internship at Studio X; It's the best recording studio in Seattle, hands down. (Seriously, no hands please...but if you really want to you can say, "neato") for the last few days I've been working from 7am-10:30pm, I forgot what that feels like...I'm tired, but I'm loving every second of it.

I got in a car wreck today, but nothing major. My car bumper had a little bit of silver paint on it from her plastic hub cap, but i brushed it off with my hand. She has over 1000 dollars of repairs somehow, which is odd because I was going less than five miles an hour, and she sideswiped me going 35...plus my bumper only touched her wheel...??? I'm still trying to figure that out, considering my bumper is less than plastic, it might be paper...I'm not sure, but I have no damage. The red dragon will live to fight again! What sucks is now Insurance is involved and my rates are pretty high as it is. The dumb thing is they are high because people hit me. I got hit by a drunk driver, and a few other people felt like because they hit my bumper they should call there insurance, which somehow reflects on me...LAME!

Everything is going well though, I'm just trying to get life started...which reminds me, I have to wake up soon.

I miss you all so much! Come see me sometime if you get bored, or you could call me.

Jeremy D.

Jeremy is sooooo third person right now!

It's an odd thing to be on, then off peoples top 8...Jeremy doesn't really know what he thinks about it. Why even put Jeremy on at all? Jeremy just thought it was funny that someone would go out of there way to put him on, then take him off of there top 8, also Jeremy thought it funny that He noticed.

I've been in Seattle for a couple days now, still broke, but things are going to plan.
I will be starting my live sound job next week, and am excited to see how they do things here.
Also I have been looking over internships trying to figure out what I should go with.
Yesterday I went to a wedding with my house family for people I don't really know, I think I met them once when I was in MC. I saw the andersons there, it was good to see familiar faces, and Jim always makes me laugh...He's so damn encouraging that you can't help but feel like you can take on the world after talking to him, it's great.
I got an AIM and messaged for the first time in years, I like that you can do conference calls on the; Tony, Steve, and I grand ol' convo about many a thing. I forgot how fast time goes by when you AIM. My screenname is : Jermbobpro
Make me your buddy, my list is small and I'm very embarassed about that.
Also I got the new Mars Volta CD, It's not even out yet. A Special thanks to you who gave it to me...you know who you are. It's amazing!
This morning I went to Christ Church Kirkland to check it out. I went by myself and sat in the back because I got there late, I met an old dude named Floyd, and no one else said a word to me. I think there was a group of MC students intercieding for me in the back though, because they were doing that thing wear you pray and rock back and forth and mumbling under there breath, and they were all looking straight at me...talk about social skills, TALK TO ME PEOPLE! Maybe then I will feel invited and not like a prayer request, a case, a demon to be cast out of the building. Despite the war mongerers behind me worship was good, and the message was agreeable and relavant, it was something that I can relate to, and am going through. After that I got lost on the way home, ate, then went to the airport to see Jackie. She was stopping through on the way to New York and had an hour to chill, we had coffee and had a brief but enjoyable time catching up on current happenings and feelings toward life and transitions. I'm glad I got to see her.
Right now I'm at my favorite Coffee Shop in Seattle, Vivace, Lilly showed it to me in June.

Lately I've been feeling good, this is the most me time I've had for awhile...enough to recognize that I needed to have some me time. For the first couple of days back in town I felt kinda numbish, then I realized that I've pretty much been going straight for the last two years, working day and night and then fullsail. Not that I'm totally relaxed, I've been talking to people In Seattle about jobs and what not, but what takes up most of my time is old friends in Spokane asking me what I've been doing for the past year and what I'm going to do for work, this is a job in itself. I don't mind the curiousity, I've got my shpeal down pretty well, it's just getting old...like I've been having the same conversation since graduation. The funny thing is, when people ask me questions they don't seem to care, like they are asking out of default, blah blah... Anyway! Besides that it's been great to see everyone, and to finally meet the my brother's finnish girl. Also, good news, my sister Elyse is getting married. I don't think I've ever seen her so happy, It makes me happy to see her so.
There is excitment in the Deaton household!
Wednesday I'm off to have some interviews in my future home.
Oh! I had a Birthday. I'm 22and 4 days now. All of your txts made my day, thank you...I'm not much for B-days for some reason.

Peace, Love, and Cheese,

Last night went well.

At the peak of the party there were 150-200 people, it was one of the biggest partys I had seen in Orlando since I have been here. Sadly, it was all for a goodbye. Half of the people there could probably care less about me leaving, and I'm sure a week or so after I leave it will be as if I never existed here...but all that aside, It was good to see everyone who came out to say goodbye, they will be missed.

It's not in my nature to feel good about leaving people, but it seems this is the stuff of life.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone back home again. It seems like It's been forever since I've hung out in Spokompton.

My new thing is not calling people to do stuff, and just waiting for calls. It was a mixture of laziness, no money, and I was curious to see what would happen...

So I pretty much studied and went to school all weekend. Probably good since it's finals week.

My Brother turned 21 today and all he did was study. How hardcore is that!? I love my brother.

Have you ever drank so much Green Tea that you feel almost too healthy, and also a little high?
It's an amazing feeling. I must have made three pitchers full. It's my study juice.

I've been having pretty vivid dreams lately. They all are of me one year from now, and they are each completely different, in different places, with different friends. It's odd.

Audio Books are my new thing, you can listen to them while doing practically anything. I started yesterday and I have already listened to The Art of War (Unabridged), Tameing the Bicycle, The Natural History of Stuck Up People, and the first few chapters of Hunting of the Snark.

The days are going by way too fast!

16 days until the last day of school.
18 days until going away party.
24 days until graduation.
28 days until I'm back in Spokane.

Tonight I cleaned my place...completely. I had to take everything off the walls and wash them because the apartment people are inspecting it. A good detailed clean of everything. I also put most of my stuff into boxes...a little early, but I won't have much free time to do it later, and for some reason I had the will to do it tonight.


I think the bug on the corner of my page scares people, because I've had people tell me, "The bug on your page scares me."  ..........True Story.


I had some people tell me today that I look and talk like Dane Cook. How is one to respond to such a comment? It's completely untrue! I could never be that funny!

The last two nights have been entertaining, I have no gas so I've been skateboarding and catching rides. Last night I went to James' place, and ended up going to a couple of get togethers. I slept on his futon, then got a call this morning to walk over to a BBQ with a person almost directly downstairs from his place. Now I'm getting a ride to some Hippie music festival Angelica's place, and camp, in Jacksonville watching the Three Amigos. Good thing too bad I haven't showered. Not being able to drive back to the appartment creates a great reason to go with the flow. This is my weekend of sleepovers, someday I'll be back at my apt.

Wow, It's almost time. I started my last class yesterday, this year went so fast. I'm going to miss everyone. I'll be back in Spokane sometime after June 2nd but before June 8th. After that my plans get a little blurry, I have a couple of paths that I will possibly take...

I can't wait to see everyone, give me a call if you wanna catch up. Pretty much all I have been doing is school, besides this morning when I am at school and I don't need to be until 1pm. I had a slight schedual error, but so did the rest of my lab group so I don't feel like a complete doof.

Finals week again. After this I only have one more month.

It's 11:11, make a wish.

Life doesn't seem to want me to go to Washington. Months ago there were jobs in Seattle, now there are very little. I got a job offer from Miami...I don't want to go to Miami. No worries though, I'm still planning on Seattle. Sorting through job opportunities is fun, and my Career Development Rep says that she has some good news for me.

I can't wait to drive across America, and see you all.

I might be working sound for a Christian Fair during spring break...I'm curious how the fair became a Christian. Fairs don't have souls. Oh well. Gettin' Paid!

Also, I've been wondering why people call me by my full name: Jeremy D*****, usually nick names are given, but not for me, I get full legal name, why?

Someone asked me if I knew who wrote "To Kill a Mockingbird" today. This is the first time memorizing authors for Noreen's Literature Class would have come in handy, but sadly I had "tip of tongue." It bugged my for about thirty minutes, then in the middle of a recording session I jumped up and exclaimed, "Harper Lee!" everyone looked at me like I was crazy, except the guy who asked me the question...he thanked me.

He graduated Fullsail class of 1990. He also won a grammy recently for the Mariah Carey. I have no clue what to ask him.

Today after class I took Rick to Sam Ash to return a guitar. The salesman remembered Rick. The salesman called Rick's mom a drunk, then laughed at him...it was the most disrespectful things I have ever seen a salesman do. I could feel my eyeballs shake from the rush of adrenaline, but I found that Rick can take care of himself. The salesman was about 6'4" and was pretty big. Rick is shorter and smaller than me. Rick made him feel about 2 inches tall by the time we left, and we left laughing.

Anyone remember Rock-n-Roll Worship Circus?

They are a different band now, The Listening...It's really well done. I need to get the CD so that I can lay back on my bed and do nothing but listen.

Actually, what I need to do is study, it's finals week again. I'm excited to see what next month will be like, I've been looking forward to it all year..."Sessions," It's the only class I have next month, and from what I hear it is full time. Also, next month I have spring break, our break is more of an Easter break. Because of the break, the month will be all crammed together schedule wise; more than likely, with no days off.

I've been in an odd mood as of late; not bad, or good, just wierd. I can't seem to pin point what triggered it, I think that it's probably because I've been thinking about the future alot lately...It's coming really fast. At the same time I'm trying to spend time with everyone here, I already miss them. To add to this I want to learn as much as I can while I'm here. I'm probably over do for some "me time." Even though all this stuff is good, and I enjoy it, there is alot to be said about being still.

I made my hair really short.

As I write this I am watching a PBS music special, feeling calm, comforted, and meloncholy, as the piano workings of Roger Williams have somehow made the world feel right.    <--------Lame! I'm so lame!

Today:

Go with Jojo to get her car fixed, Go home to get sleep before school, Go to school and learn, Drive Rick to get him a new phone, Watch "V is for Vendeta" (I likie), Do some online work at the Media Center (Which is good because I cut it close last week.), and relax at home.

Plans for the night:

Maybe go out to Fullsail Party, depending on how I feel. This means having a drink with a bunch of guys and talk about music gear...and how there are no girls at fullsail. Yes!

Peace, Love, and Cheese,

New news to me:

One of my ex-girlfriends is getting married.

One of my other ex-girlfriends became a coke head. (Which is wierd because she was pretty much straight edge when I knew her.)

One of my buddies from home is going through a divorice.

I don't know which news affects me most, but I'm all types of wierded out right now.

It scares me that someone that I have dated could be deep into drugs. It scares me that I still care, I hope she is ok, but mostly it scares me because that is one of my deep fears: that If I ever fall in love with someone and we get married...have kids...then out of no where she is hiding drugs from me.

The ex-girlfriend that is getting married cheated on me, and everyone she has been with since me. I don't know who she is marrying, but he must not know, or maybe she is different now. I'm not against change, and if she has, awesome :) I hope this is the case.

My buddy who is getting a divorice was just too young. It's sad to get a divorice at 20.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I got compared to two different revolutionaries thursday, because of style (which is not flatering at all), and it occured to me that there was a time when I was passionate about change...what happened to that? I still want alot of the same things, hmmm. Alot of it was probably the circumstances that I was in, but I can't help but miss that passion. I want to feel that again.

Last night was crazy!

Well, maybe not crazy. More like uneventful.

After school I did laundry, and while folding laundry I somehow accidentally fell asleep on the pile of warm clothes. It was the first time in awhile that I got to sleep before 12. It was a good time.

I thought this shirt was great:

Today in class we learned what not to do with Surround Sound. What a headache! 4 hours of what not to do...Sounds spinning around every which way. Ahhh! It must have been one of the most disorienting things I have ever experienced. My head was spinning for about an hour after class. Blah!

Karamea made Lasagna for some of us fullsail boys on Monday, and tonight she cooked spaghetti and brownies. I don't know why she has been cooking lately, but I like it. Free food is one of my most favorite things.

I might have invented the coolest drink known to man!

Angelica's Birthday party was on saturday, and it was a Bill Cosby Themed Dance Party...ya...crazy. The day before the party I was thinking of things to do at a Bill Cosby themed party. There are cosby sweaters of coarse, and drink wise: Jello Shots, but then it came to me. Pudding Shots!

I frapped Irish Creme and Coffee Liquor with Chocolate Pudding. Amazing. You must try. And after trying a few of these I named the drink "Pu-Deaton." The next day at school people I didn't know were congradulating me on the "Pu-Deaton." I guess it was a big hit.

Also I got a free ticket to some show, which I didn't know was going to be a show full of teen idol crazed girls. Jonas Brothers , October Fall , and The Veronicas. It was hilarious, even though the music made me cringe. By the end of the show I was screaming along with them, the Veronicas were pretty much beautiful, and Ausie, which I think is a great combo, and they actually had decent voices.

Sometimes I wonder why I care about certain things.
How do people get inside our heart?
Why do I let people inside that I don't trust?
What do people really think about me? When people say they "love me," What does that even mean?

I'm just trying not to care about something, or someone...something vague like that. Whatever I choose it seems like there is no way of emotionally getting around it, either give power to one emotion or the other. Lame! I'm so lame!

Life is going great though. I'm just enjoying the process of learning it. Later Folks!

Another month of school down, 3 more to go. This is going extremely fast. My time here in Orlando is almost done, and school is getting more and more interesting.

Lately I've been analyzing myself way more than I usually do. I don't know quite what triggered it, but I haven't quit been myself lately. I'll get to the bottom of it soon, I'm pretty good at self-analysis...and I'm beginning to see the cause I think.

Yesterday Neo Nazis marched through downtown Orlando. I ended up going to the Taste of Chaos concert. The whole city felt wierd yesterday. Christian fanatics yelled at me to confess my sins, and the Nazis yelled there hatred...Both parties were equally annoying. The Nazis made me mad, because they are so ignorant. The Christians made me mad because they were banging signs on my car and screaming at me, and I'm Christian...but I forgave them instantly, of course, because it's the Christian thing to do. Anyway, I went through all of that to get to the concert, which I ended up getting backstage by working for myspace. All I had to do was pass out free hats and buttons before the show, then I was in, and had a press pass. Cool Beans.

Today I BBQed. I butterflied some steaks; stuffed them with green peppers, onions, garlic, and pinapple; marinated them with worseshire sauce; and seasoned the outside with Creole seasoning. Then after all that I cooked them over mesquite charcoals. It was delish. Then I watched some family guy with Jojo, which was good ole fun. It's always a good time with a jojo.

It's off to bed for me. Goodnight.

There is a man outside the Fullsail Library/Media Center wearing a batman mask casually...I love my school, we have gamers.

Also I witnessed a girl today walking through the halls, looking up, praying outloud for the test that she was about to take.

Also a girl had a heart attack because of the stress of school the other day, in the middle of class(not my class, someone else's)...the ambulance came to school, it was terrible.

I've been up since 4:30 for school, and I have tests all day. Grrr! Tests and waking up early don't really go together, I hope I do well.

I also had a baby sninach salad w/ Jalapeno Ranch Dressing. Mmmm...

It's kinda crazy how one week of events can cause you to question so much. It's good though. People are amazing, no matter how messed up people think they are, you can always learn from them...it would almost be a beautiful thing if it didn't jerk on my heart strings.

We limit ourselves so much, in thinking, in living, we are so closed minded. Every so often I think I get a glimpse, or at least it feels that way, and then it goes back to living the same ole...not that I'm bored or anything, I'm more tired than bored. There's just more to life than I could ever know about.

To many mixed emotions. It's a crazy thing to go from 0 to 200 DramaMPH in a flash. Especially when it has nothing to do with me. I felt bad, and I didn't even do anything. I was just there. Somehow before this week I missed drama (No Drama at Fullsail)...I don't miss it anymore. :) No Worries.

Goodnight.


So, I guess I'm black now? Ya!

I didn't know either.

Some of my classmates and I went to see a hip hop show tonight. Guru from Gangstar was doing his thing, and somehow I ended up dancing from 5 girls from Iceland...I talked politics and music with producers from a couple of places, and had dinner with the group after the show. None of this was planned. I don't know how it happened, but I was accepted into the entire Orlando and some new york rap culture in one night. I was also called a Nigg**!? What!? This guy was like, "What up Nigg**!" and I had my first "Nigg**" handshake. I've never felt so honored. I guess I can dance well? More I didn't know about myself, how can one white guy from Spokane (which has a black population of about 2) who doesn't listen to much rap music accomplish this? No clue. I guess I was just feelin' it tonight. At the end of the night one of my black class mates asked me, "Do you know your roots? Where your family came from? You got some black in you! You just don't know it. You gotts ta! I've never seen a white man...." This was a big boost for the old ego. Maybe I should grow another mustache. This one's defective.

What a funny night. So out of character for me, but I didn't even try.

I love it when people get caught.

I don't really know why, but when lies are shattered it's great.

I also love hypocrisy. I used to hate it with everything in me, but I didn't see any good in it. Of coarse I try not to be a hypocrite, but there is something to be learned from a hypocrite; it all seems to point to how human we all are...

We fool ourselves with our pride. Instead of accepting what is gracefully ours.

This wasn't supposed to be anything to serious. It is just a thought that entertains me sometimes.

Last night was the first time in a long while that a girl was perfect in my eyes.
She was beautiful! Amazing! Her collar bones (I know it's lame) seemed to be the only thing worthy of framing her body, but I didn't know her. I talked to her because she was the Barista at a coffee shop that I sometimes go to. I got an Iced Yerba Mate. I was there because I wanted to get out of the house and read the book that I had just purchased, "Through Painted Deserts" by Donald Miller, who is one of my favorite Christian authors (one of two, the other being C.S Lewis, most other Christian authors seem to be amateur in comparison.) Anyway, it's been a long while since anyone has even remotely interested me, I was worried that maybe the mustache goes both ways...it makes you look unattractive as well as everyone else. We talked for awhile, I didn't ask for her number mainly because I'm dumb, but when I left she said, "You know where I work, come by soon!" this made me feel good, but I doubt anything romantic will come out of it.
Good book.
My school hours suck this month. Some nights I have 1am and 5 am Labs, and 9am and 1pm lectures! Grrr! Oh well, caffiene will be my close friend this month.

I headbut a Texan last night.

Texans have hard heads.

--------------------------------------------------------

I'm outside of the party chillin' by the stairs, when out of no where Corbet a friend from class comes out and yells "Texas! Whooo!"

Here in my head I thought, "Oh. I guess we are screaming 'Texas' now." So I did, "Texas! Whooo!"

He looks at me and screams again, "Texas! Yeah!" So I do the same back.

By this point we are in a frensy, shaking our bodies all about, getting louder and louder.

The next thing I know he is about to head but me. I had two choices, move, or head but him back...I choose to head but back. What a dumb choice this was. He used the top of his head, I pretty much used my face. My eyebrow to be exact. I look like a boxer.

Why do people want to give me money? I don't know. This is the 6th letter I have recieved that has been like this. They found me again, it's been about 8 months since they have tryed this. This time it was sent to my other email, and there are different names and countries involved. So, my cut is 6.75 Million Dollars. The last time this happened I called the FBI and they said not to reply, so I won't. To bad it's not real, the money for the Tsunomi victums and all. Oh well.

CONFIDENTIAL
From Mr Samuel Lantey (JP)
Chairman,Ecowas Debt Appraisal
Board Accra - Republicof Ghana
ACCOUNT PROVISION ON $45MUSD

Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this unofficial channel.I got your contact from a profesional database found in internet while searching for a reliable and honest person that will assist me safeguard funds into an account.

Proposal : In the course of discharging my duty while reconciling our debt on Ecowas contractors files who has not received their balance payments on the contracts executed by them.After going through some old files ,I found out that one of our Foreign Contractor who died some time ago was among the contractor's whose funds are to be paid. I made several attempts to locate his other family members or relations which proves abortive as was not contained in his contract information with us.I thought wisely to transfer this money out now Ecowas is prepared to pay all contractor's outstanding bill than loosing it to Ecowas since its ethics has a stipulated years for such debt after which the debt will be deleted from Ecowas record and will be termed as Bad Debt which will be shared among Ecowas Top management which i am not included. This is why i am contacting you to assist me safeguard this Fund in your account.I would have executed this deal without contacting you but due to our country civil service code which prohibits us from operating foreign accounts and also the fund will
only be released to a foreigner as the next of kin to the Deceased Foreign contractor.

As an account owner for this transfer,You will be entittled to 15% of the total fund,15% will be used to set up humanitarian organisations to be managed by both of us in your country to help needy,motherless babies and other less priviledged people including donation to the recent Tsunami VIctims in Asia While I take 65% for my investment in your country then 5%
will be set aside to take care of any incidental charges which might arise in the course of the
transfer. Due to my position.I have all his personal contract information which will be released to you on demand to pursue the payment approval from Ecowas.All the arrangement to put claim on the fund legally as the apparent heir of the deceased has been perfected. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return I demand your complete honesty and trust. NOTE : This transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as I have statedbelow:
(a)My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
(c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail to allow you run away with this fund.
(d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by me after you have removed your share of 15% from the total amount before my arrival in your country as it might take me time to retire and get my travel documents ready before arriving.
This transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude this deal within 14 working days if you accord me your unalloyed support and co-operation. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing business with me. Transactions like this have been successfully carried out in the past by some of my collegues and now they are outside enjoying their wealth with their foreign collaborators. Looting and corruption is rampant in this part of the world ,thus explaining why you might have heard stories of how money is been taken out of this country through foreigners assistance like you, this is because everyone is making desperate attempts to secure his/her family future, so that when retires from active service he/she will not languish in poverty since Civil servants were not properly taken care of.
NB: To Strenghten the security network of this deal and for you to be very sure you are rightly speaking with me,it is very important that when you call and ask for me,the moment i pick up the phone,you should ask me for the "SECRET NUMBER" and my answer would be "ONE"
before we proceed discussions,But if i do not say "ONE",that means you are not speaking with me just disconnect the call and call back till i give you the "NUMBER". If this deal further interest you,call me for more detailed information and discard this information if you won't participate due the sensitivity of the transaction.As am an employee of Ecowas and always busy in the office especially now that other contractors will be coming for their funds too,Ask me if i am free to talk whenever you call me.Due to poor Telephone System in my country,Your call might be either giving you a busy signal or computer saying that the Telephone subscriber is not Available, Kindly ignore it and continue trying as you
must definately be connected.

God Bless

So, I loaded up Linux on my Mac. I guess this means it's official, I'm a nerd.

I'm sure this is not very interesting or something that any of you can relate to, but just thought I'd put that out there.

 

What's been going on with Jeremy?

Quit a bit of nerdy related things, topped off with a load of crazy crazy events...which when I think about it, it's really just up surd Orlando stuff. What an interesting group of people, what an interesting journey this has been.  I love these people. I don't think I even realized how much I love them until the other night.

 

We all go our separate ways. Almost no one lasts in active relationship. One day they will all be gone. We might catch up with each other in some far off distant meeting some months or years after it fades. Maybe I'll be privileged to receive a few drunk phone calls. Maybe I'll stay on the xanga, or myspace friends list for a time. Perhaps they will call me when something big happens, like a wedding, a breakup, or a new career move. When it comes down to it, you can only enjoy relationships while they are present. Distance is something that is very present in distant relationships, there is very little that is actually happening from so far away. The part that is even more weird is that you never really stop loving the people that you love. How is it possible? It's amazing how strong some ties become. I already miss everyone else I love in Spokane. Now I have a few more people to add to my love net, more people to miss. I guess that's just the way it is. They will be missed.

 

 

Don't even worry about it! says she. I spent the whole night...worrying about it, and laughing every step of the way.

 

I hate it when I speak before I think, when every word coming out feels wrong. It's one thing to dislike a shallow conversation. It's a completely different thing when you join in. I think I've been lacking in anything meaningful lately...it's all devoid of substance. It seems to rape my mind of anything real and replace it with things that I abhor, everything I don't want to be. It disagrees with who I am. I guess this is where a conscious change happens........There, I did it.

 

 

Despite all the earlier mumbo-jumbo I'm actually doing well. I'm also tired. Off to bed with me now.

 

Peace, Love, and Cheese,

Aaron Sprinkle has a new band: "Fair Forever"    

This stuff is great! Check it out on Myspace Music, or http://www.fairforever.com/

You know that feeling you get right before you learn a major life lesson, or make a big descision, or when you enter a new season of life. I'm starting to feel all those feelings. BRING IT ON! I love this stuff! Complicated life stuff rocks!

-------------------------------------------------------------

On another note:

Today in my Pro Tools 101 class this guy over herd me talking to a guy about "Hard Rock," and he thought I said "Hard Drugs." I have never seen anyone so excited in my life! I said "no, sorry" he quickly put on a look of dissapointment. Then in the middle of class I heard a big boom, so I looked behind me, almost next to me, and this guy somehow fell head first, sideways, out of his chair. He must have passed out or something, the whole class was laughing at him. He woke up, stood up with a little help, and asked "What happened?" The class laughed again. "I think you fell" I stated obviously. "It feels like I got hit by a truck or something!" he exclaimed in a way that for some reason reminded me of a kid with down syndrome. At this point people were to the point of tears, laughing. The teacher said, "It's ok, in all my years of teaching, I have never seen someone fall out of there chair like that." He proceded to laugh some more. Then this kid tryed to give a lame excuse about being sick. To this some kid yelled, "Sure you are druggie!" Wow...we all knew.  What a sad story.

Anyways, I hope you are all eating your vegi's!

What a great night.

Good Company, Hookah, Coffee Shop, Canadian Bacon(the movie), Spinning Records, Spinning People, and Dead Guy Ale.

I never thought that spinning records and spinning people could happen at the same time, but they can. I was at a coffee shop with Angelicahhh and they had this projector that played the movie Canadian Bacon, which is pretty funny because America goes to war witgh Canadia in it.

After the movie there was a DJ that started mixing D + B with The Smashing Pumpkins, cool beans. To top it off This guys set up a machine that spins people in circles, this guy was crazy! Right there in the middle of this coffee shop there are people spinning while looking at projected visuals, and there is a DJ playing beats.

I get dizzy very easily, this guy tryed to tell me that I wouldn't get sick because his machine was different than normal spinners. What's a normal spinner?! So I asked why it is different, and he said that the difference is that he would tell me that it wouldn't make me sick. Ok? This guy even looked crazy, like maybe he had done lots of hard drugs. So I told him that I don't believe what people tell me, so it wouldn't work with me. I didn't do it, but he never really offered either. Me and ang pretty much just relaxed on the couch, smoked hookah (Baharani Blend, sub/mango w/Rose), I drank Dead Guy Ale (Brewed In Oregon), she drank Chai (With Soy), and we chitter chattered about the wind. These are the kind of nights I enjoy.

Good times in Orlando. Still trying to put the pieces together from the last few days. It'll happen, No Worries. In the midst of all this chaos I somehow found peace. I forgot how beautiful it all is...Life is amazing! I love discovering life all over again. I love seeing people take life by the horns and kick it in the butt. Anyways, I found peace in confusion. I lost my reasons to worry, I like it better this way.

I'm back in Florida!

My trip to Spokane was great, it was good to see everyone, and to make a fool of myself from time to time. The best part about spokane was hanging out with the people who cared, and also meeting a couple new peeps. It was funny to see that the only judgemental people left in spokane are the ones who are doing nothing with there lives.

Being back in spokane was a real eye opener, it smashed all of the fantacies that I had about home. I couldn't ever appreciate Florida because I kept dreaming of home, until home became like heaven in my head...the promised land flowing with good people where nothing goes wrong, where every moment is deep and meaningful and spent sipping coffee in the beauty of a coffee shop. I made it hard for spokane to live up to my expectations. I found myself in Spokane talking about Florida.

I missed Florida!? WHAT THE!? The culture of tourism still bugs me, but I think I might enjoy it here now more than ever. I missed the friends I made, I missed school, and my old 70's couch. I missed my nerdy roomate, and his girlfriend making it hard for me to be in the same room with them; I missed palm trees, I missed downtown orlando, and how the air wraps around you like a blanket. Spokane is still my first love, but it's about time I moved on with my life. I can't keep dwelling on everything and everybody, and I can't expect people to know me now that I'm so far away. I feel like I have taken a giant step, and a huge weight has been lift off my back. I love you guys, stay in touch.

I decided that resolutions suck, so I made goals.

Peace, Love, and Cheese,

Ok, I'm going to miss my brother lots. Also, I'm going to miss a whole lot of you. I still miss most of you. I wish I had more time to chill. I wish I could hang out with all of you for at least a little bit before I go.

My trusty counter says that I have three days left until I get to breath in the cold, dry, floating air of the great northwest...and that sewer smell that comes from the river at certain spots. I'm stoked.

I knocked out a few more finals today. I only have 2 more left and I'm free to be on brake. One tomorrow, and one on Saturday. I just want it to be over so that I can be home.

Somewhere in between Stalin and Orlando Bloom = Almost Horribly Great, not quite there. I haven't been able to test it's effects on the ladies yet, mostly because I have talked to about 5 girls in the past month...I'm not exagerating one bit. Fullsail is practically girlless. 95% Guys and out of the girls that are there more than half of them are Lesbians, Girls have a better chance at getting girls than me at fullsail. Orlando on the other hand is full of really good looking girls that come equipped with cardboard souls...

5 days until I'm back in spokompton. I can't wait! I heard on national news about our mayor. I hear that the Monroe St. bridge is finished. Senses Fail, Saves the Day, The Early November, and Emanual w/ the Jojo! What a great suprise :) I can't wait to see you all! Feel free to skip the next part of this post. It's just jibber jabber.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I wonder what I will do with my life. Where will I be 10 years from now? Where will I be in 6 months?! There is so much to do, so much to see. What will my friends be like? Will I ever fall in love? Will I become a bitter old man, or old man with a story to tell? Will my life mean anything, or will I just drift through like a visitor? What should I care about? When it comes down to it I dont think there is a right answer with what I should do. There are an infinite amount of possibilities of what could be, and only one will happen, thats destiny. You shouldnt live your life wondering what you should do, every step with hesitation, wondering if youre going to make a wrong move. There is something to be said about living in the present. Every so often I get glimpses of the present, but most of the time it seems like Im worrying out the future, or living in memories, but the past is in the past, and the future doesnt matter unless I live today. I use to be fascinated by the possibilities of life, and I still am, but I remember dreaming and being in awe of the possibilities and the pictures that I drew in my head of the future. So I made steps toward that future, and just like everything is, it wasnt what I thought it would be. Im not there yetwell, youre never really there, but what Ive come to realize that any little picture that you can come up with, any idea that the you might have about the future can never be completely accurate. Its not that Im disappointed; its actually the opposite. Any picture I can draw in my head pails in comparison to how huge the world is. Seriously! It ginormous! It happens over and over again, I try to fit the whole thing into some scheme of having a good life, but its just to damn big. So, Im not saying that its not good to plan for the future, thats a good thing. What Im saying is that it, or something like it, or maybe something completely different, will happen, and there is nothing you can do about it really, unless all you do with your life is worry about it, then youll be miserable even if you meet your goals. The most important thing to do is to live today, eat your veggies, and hold on for the ride.

I made a decision today.

I did the beard thing for a few months and it went well. I refused to grow the stash of the beard though. Then I turned the beard into chops, that was fun. But today I made a maybe life changing decision:

I am going to desecrate my body with a mustache.

I will grow a beard with it though. I'm just going to let it go. It came to me while I was listening to George Winston's December album in my room. If any girl is worth pursueing, she will be a girl who likes me with a mustache, and any girl who has the courage to get to know a man with a mustache is cool by my book.

To add to this it just occured to me about a month ago that whoever I end up with, they are going to be the future mother to my children. This scares the living shit out of me! Really, it does! Relationships are supposed to be fun and romantic, now I got all of this "Future Mother Of My Children Stress." Anyone who knows me well enough can figure out why this would be. So these are the reasons why I must grow a stache, this will be my insecurity...my excuse not to talk to girls...it will make me miserable, but for good reason. The stache will weed out the bad ones for me. So now I don't even have to worry about it. Lets be serious, what girl my age would even want to talk to the stache?

Peace, Love, and Cheese

I could start this entry by say something like, "It's been awhile since I've posted, I've been bogged down with 'stuff,'" but since I've pretty much already done that I won't bother.

ATTENTION PEEPS WHO LOVE ME, OR PEOPLE WHO FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE CALLING THEM: My phone has been lost, this means all of my numbers, and messages that have been from celebraties, and very important like you have been lost and are in the publics hands. This is sure to be a bigger deal than when Paris lost her phone. I am deeply sorry, but if you start getting calls from wierd people in florida let them know that they will be dead soon. They will dread the day that they messed with Jeremy Deaton.....and please email me your numbers: me_jeremy@netzero.com.

This last month has been jam-packed, like an epic there have been battles, dramatic love stories, and a tales told , by me, of the good days back home.

My string of thought has been: What makes a great man? I don't know why, but it seems to have been on my mind quite a bit lately. So, I started writting down thoughts...all of which were questions of what makes a man great. Then I realized another question that maybe is more important: Who determines the defination of a great man? Is it popular belief? Is it the man himself? Is it God? I think usually we deal with the first one, a man made great by having a good reputation. I hated this idea, even though I knew that most men we concider great are probably made this way. Then there's the second possiblity, but a man being great because he thinks he is is absurd. Then of course there is God. I have a hard time with God thinking a single man is great, who is great in comparison to God?! But at the same time, I think if there is anyone who should bestow greatness it should, or must be from him. Hmmm...why define it? maybe it's part of nature.

I'm in my core classes now, this month I make original score for movies. I'm excited, so far I love it. It's just my second day of class right now.

I just got ahold of the new Emery. Much love for this album.

Other New Stuff Out This Month: Fall of Troy, Cursive...that's all I care about.

"I believe that the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I don't mean by humility, doubt of his power.

My brother is here! He will never know how good it is for me to have him here, I missed him so much. By now he has experienced the culture shock that I had the first long time I was here. I still am getting used to alot of the culture stuff.

Yesterday we drove down to my friends moms beach house in Clearwater, Fl. This place is beautiful, I could swim around in the pool and lay out forever! Much Love.

The 4th was cool, fireworks everwhere, in every direction, from every angle, from all around... Better than spokane's show, thats for dang sure.

I HAVE A WEEK OFF! MY BROTHER COMES DOWN ON SUNDAY!

Today in lecture we had a quiz...blahblahblah, then we had a lecture about dimensions, 0-4 and a little about how there are at least 11 dimensions. It was interesting, probably the most interesting thing I've heard in this CMI class I'm taking. It's all about computers, binary code and such....blah! It's somewhat interesting, but in a 4 hour lecture when people keep raising there hand about stuff that the teacher just said, it gets really annoying. I don't know how some people make it through school, they don't seem to listen.
Plus, the teacher is a PC guy, and he keeps trying to prove the point that AMD processors are better than MACs, He should be a AMD salesman or something. You can't push PC's at an art school, MACS are way better for Sound Engineering and Film.
Sorry, that was probably very uninteresting to you all.

I went to "Backbooth" the other night in orlando, I think I'm an 80' night kinda guy. I found a dance club full of scensters! LOL! It was great, and I met alot of people. I even ran into some people that I know. this is cool because I don't know many people yet, and running into people randomly is one of my favorite things about knowing someone...going to a place not planning on seeing anyone and the room already knows who you are, I guess its an ego thing, but I love knowing people.

I still miss you all, I love spokane! I hope to visit again sometime. I was looking at jobs the other day and I'm definatly going west coast, east coast sucks...my other option is the UKm just because I think europe would be a great place to work. Germany has alot of jobs right now too.

I have the day off tomorrow...looking forward to sleeping in. I need to do some catch up sleep.

After School Tonight: Hung out at home alone for awhile. Jorge came over, we played slide guitar and banjo for awhile, then we watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still." After that it was coffee with Jorge and Jersey. Drove around listening and singing along to Ray Charles. Then we all went to  Castro's (Richard's)  appartment and chilled for awhile, Rage (The Other Richard) was there too...I watched half of "The Doors," and now I'm at home. Altogether it has been a great night. I think I wanna write lyrics.

On the inside she wrote the song she use to sing to me when I was little, thats one of the only things that I remember about her. I was so happy when I got it! She is in Tallehassey now, I think thats close. I need to visit her.

I feel some change in the air with friends down here...but I seem to be out of it.
I don't like it when people make you take sides when you can see that they are both wrong...I saw them at the begining as people with problems, just because someone has them doesnt mean that one is more right. Being the one they gossip to looses it's charm after awhile.

Oh ya...I'm the treehugger down here. You wouldn't think it being in washington culture, but we really are just a bunch of treehuggers compared to the culture down here. Ive accepted it.

Ahhhh! Perspective cramp! Things arent adding up...I need to do some thinking...and I need to start going with my gut instinct on people. I wrote in my journal worries that are now happening word for word, worries that I ignored. Why do I give people the privilage of walking all over me? Would it feel so bad to make them turn there cheek? and to show them what we really are...we are selfish creatures, why do I enjoy sugar coating it?  It's not who I am I guess...Im real with people, but it comes out so....nice. I wish I could be mean.

Im doing well by the way, despite what I just wrote I feel good.
Things to look forward to: July Break, My brother Jared comming down to visit...

Happy Fathers Day!

I was looking over my old posts and a found something that describes how I feel now:

Sunday, September 12, 2004-

"I need to get to know my self again...I feel like it's been so long since weve talked, meditated, mingled thoughts between us; do I make since? Ever feel like you you've changed, and you don't recogize your responces, or thoughts? Like someone else put them there and you have to figure out what is you, and what isn't? Who am I? Am I still the same Jeremy? I used to think I liked change, but I think what I thought was change was everything around me changing and me just adjusting ever so slightly to get by. But now I don't know...I just don't know myself anymore. It feels like Im thinking in russian or something! lol! Or maybe Im "turning Japaneese," I don't know. Im happy, I guess thats all that really matters. I'm meloncoly happy though, I'm content anylising myself...If only you knew how good it feels to be this selfish."

School was good today. Ive been out and about enjoying life, mostly studying, some all my lonesome, and some with friends. Just enjoying life I guess.

Things I don't like: When girls are disrespected, and when I can't "read" people(especially a girl).

The later is the better, but in a way it is the worst, because it intrigues me. I hate it, but without it I wouldn't be interested in a romantic relationship of anykind. Why? I don't really know, mystery maybe. Or maybe because I find that these people are "different" from other girls...Anygirl I can't read somehow goes in that catagory...and then it sits there and bugs the crap outa me until I try to get to know that person. Culture is different here, They seem to be all about the frosting, and want nothing to do with the cake unless there are excess amounts of it...anyone who has heard Jim Anderson's MC Teachings will know what that means. Don't get me wrong I love frosting on my cake, but without cake it makes me sick.              I am really just thinking outloud...or on the keyboard, whatever. The point is, it's extremly hard to find meaningful relationships...Im not much for superficial bull, I have greater things to look for in a relationship. When did I get so picky! Grrr! Part of me says, "Look for it!" the other says, "Wait for it!" Really all I want is someone to talk to, face to face, something real, anything true, anything that doesn't mean coutesy laughs and mutual taking. Giving and recieving, feels so much better, no guilt, no hurt, nothing to be ashamed of. I dumb to be thinking about this now...Oh well, I like to entertain thought, to spell out what I think just makes me feel good for some reason, Its a release of somekind. Don't think I'm depressed or anything, I actually enjoy thinking this way...it's what makes me me I guess.
