Kingsville is small
Hello all I'm back. I know I promised to post more in the summer but I have been busy. Now I am back at school and have more time to write to you since I have to spend less time getting to places I have to be. Everything is walking distance around here, which is good since I am yet without a car. Soon, though, transportation will be mine. Not much has been going on inside my head or out of it anyway so its not like I was going to regale you with interesting posts anyway.
This going to a new school thing is weird. Especially since I am here a few days before classes start but I don't feel like going to any of the events for the new students. I went to all that stuff a couple of years ago and am too lazy to go through it again. I did go to talk to an advisor today. It’s only a couple of days till classes start and I only now registered for my classes. At least I got all the classes I needed to take, though I did want bowling, but I guess I'll take that class next semester.
I also had my first cafeteria meal today. It was quite an experience. I am still wondering how they got the turkey to taste like ham and how they got the top layer of the mashed potatoes to taste decent while making the bottom half craptacular. It makes me not want to eat there again but that would just be wasting the 14 meals a week that I already paid for.

The Dash
I finally broke down and bought the new Dashboard Confessional album. I was originally going to get it from a friend but a hurricane impeded me from seeing her before leaving. And then I heard it at a Hot Topic of all places and I thought, might as well get it. So I had to go out and buy it my own damn self. It’s a good deal, though, I mean, you do get a DVD with it. That’s cool. I still have not listened to it. I have had it for four whole days and I have yet to pop it in my DVD player and get a good listening session going on. The thing is that if I don't listen to it I won't be disappointed by it. I'm not saying that I presume that it won't be good just because Chris has suddenly become MTV-friendly. I have heard the new version of "Hands Down" repeatedly and have seen the video recently and it has grown on me from the initial surprise of hearing my favorite Dashboard song in a different way. The problem is that I have heard a lot of shit being talked about Chris recently. I have stood my ground in saying that I enjoyed Swiss Army Romance and that he has not necessarily "sold out". I just really really do not want to be wrong. It's not like I'm never going to listen to it, I just want to wait till my expectations aren't too high. Its like if I would have waited a couple of months before watching the series finale of Seinfeld. Then I would not have been as disappointed by the ending as I was.

Other Wierd Things That Happen
Today I saw this girl I knew in high school. That was awkward. And as I was finishing up this post I got my first complaint about the volume of the music in my room. Thats wierd because all I have is a couple of shitty computer speakers. I hope that doesn't keep happening all year.

Not Just An Empty Threat
True to his word, the very day after he arrived for his first semester at a college away from home, my brother did something crazy. He got a Mohawk. It was really cool. Not as cool as it will look once he lets it grow a little more but still cool. Tomorrow we will look for laws to break to celebrate his new street punk image. I am so proud of him.
