Slightly Bound But Ever Creative-(ing), Indie

Well.. I was trying to find something really nerdy to write to begin my post. I was flipping through my planner looking for a little filled-in circle in the bottom right hand corner of one of this week’s days, as that little-filled in circle isn’t just a blob of ink, it signifies the peak of the moon cycle, a full moon! For some reason I thought that I saw that yellow dot today when I was writing in some studying-to-do’s, and could begin my post a long the line’s of.. “so today I was writing in my planner and realized there is a full moon tonight! I quickly went to weather.com to see if the skies would allow for a clear viewing tonight and..” Unfortunately I was wrong. No little filled in moon portraying circle, so sad. However… how-ev-errrrr! - I think just the essence of me explaining and articulating that quest for nerdiness, in it’s own nerdy way, appeases the desires for the nerdy intro that I was looking for in my post.

Anyways, on to more “real” nerdy things.. Kidding! Kind of..

So I’m looking at my calculus book right now, my test creeping up right behind the corner (on Monday), and I’m feeling alright about it. Chapter 8- Advanced Integration Techniques, L’Hopital’s Rule, and Improper Integrals. It’s some pretty interesting stuff! I’m studying the chapter in it’s entirety now, as we finished learning all the material for the test, and I’m preparing for tomorrow’s review session in class. Anywho, just thought I’d update ya on that.

I’ve got a pretty sick weekend planned. I’ve got a game at Gardner-Webb on Saturday evening at 5 o’clock. Our second conference game (we beat Presbyterian 3-1 last Tuesday night). Gardner-Webb is coming off a 5-0 loss against High Point last night, so I’m sure they will be bringing there top game in effort to try and rebound from such a horrible conference loss. After the game though, I’m leaving on the bus with the team, stopping at Golden Corral with the team, and then heading back to Rock Hill. Instead of going to my locker and unpacking and then heading back to my dorm, I’m going straight to my car and heading to Athens to see my lady! We’ve got a pretty stellar Saturday night and Sunday planned with lots of eating and chilling and 80 degree Athens stuff in our heads, I’m psyched! Since we won’t be able to be together on the fifth, our one year, we’ve got a pretty stellar day planned. Halloween-oreo cookies, ever had them??? Well if you want to get them and your in Athens this weekend.. too late. We’ve already bought out all the stores!

And onto my aspiring fad.. this winter it’s Flannel shirts. Totally rocking the indie look. I’d like to consider myself, my actions and character, and even this blog as Indie.

Coming from the term Indie Rock- rock music that is distributed by non-mainstream labels, less popular music, enjoyed for it’s uniqueness and ability to be more than just personally liked, but lived through - the new age meaning of Indie life incorporates this lack of mainstream identity into a way of living life that is represented by your own self. - Me

However, “lack of mainstream,” I feel, is a very broad and limitless term. I just feel that Indie-life is totally rockin’, or shall I say, Stellar. Do what makes you happy. Make people happy. Be true. Don’t be afraid to go even way, way, way against the grain of popular trend. I feel that I live this way.. and defining my way of life helps me stay true. And of course, going with the trend sometimes is totally cool. I just choose to pick and choose my own way a lot of the time. I hope me defining this doesn’t sound ignorant, stupid, or unintelligent, because this isn’t my intention! I’m just stellar and stoked for my life, that’s all, and if I can make people happy while being this way (even by way of making you laugh if you feel me voicing my weird opinions on Indieness above is just stupid to the point of funny), then I’m doing my job!

INDIE Being yourself based on happiness and the desire of happiness for others.

In conclusion - flannel shirts, black rimmed glasses, and studying like a mad man.

Later!
