Things that mean I’m on my way to mathematical fame...
-I aced my first Algebra test
-Recently I went nearly 40 hours without a shower
-I love the way the word “parabola” rolls off the tongue
-I’m going to buy a pocket protector
Things that mean I’m on my way to mathematical failure...
-I got lucky on my first test
-After asking my Mom if she can help me with a concept concerning square roots, she replies, “Oh sure! I used to teach that to my seventh grade class.” Dagger. Heart. (Sorry Myles-it was called for.)
-I spilled 32oz of water from my Nalgene onto my Algebra book in the crowded yet very quiet library yesterday on accident. Or was it? Perhaps a Freudian slip... After drenching 396 pages of linear equations I reflexively yelled out “Dammit shit!”, a bizzare combination of expletives that I believe is unprecedented.
On another note, what’s the deal with Coldplay? For a while I was certain Americans would, suppressing a fit of laughter, happily inform them, “Alright guys, it‘s all over. Really, you didn’t think we’d actually let you stay!” But alas, it seems as though the watered down Brits are here for good, especially since that Jude Law facsimile has set up house with Gwynth. I’ve found that guy disagreeable ever since he spent 4.5 minutes insisting that the stars are yellow (which they’re not).
Now it’s a song about birds flying at the speed of sound. Again, everyone knows that birds don’t even come close to soaring at 600+mph. Details, details, I know; but it’s all style and no substance. I know that such blasphemy to the dogmatic supremacy of arduous British bands might cause the fall from grace of my status as a pop music literate 20-something status, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take. Listen to any Cream album and you’ll understand my plight.
Then again things could be worse. I could wake up every morning to the Supertones.
And if you're not seeing Ryan Adams this Thursday at Stubb's, I'm really sorry.

I've always liked how "hyperbole" rolls off the tongue...such a fun word, and for those who have no idea what it means, it's always fun to give it your own definition because most people will believe you.
Ah, the good ol days of algebra and calc...wait, that's not right. Swayer-take two! Ah, the good ol days of sleeping in algebra and calc!
What's wrong with the OC Supertones!?! True, they are a little washed out/up now, but no other Christian band can contend with their lyrics. Well... if you don't like ska, I guess it's understandable. Brent is trying to convince me that KillSwitch Engage has awesome lyrics, but that doesn't make me enjoy heavy metal any more
Supertones Rock! My VBS kids loved them 3 years ago!-Sarah-
OH MY GOSH IT'S MARISA! I'm writing you an email, which I assume you won't get for another month or so, but it's awesome to hear from you! :) Check your email!
Dan,
Brent has Excellent taste. I'd listen to everything that guy says, especially if it's in regard to who is going to win this seasons Inferno.
When are you guys coming out here? We jumped from the tree... Oh, wait, EVERYONE knows that. We need to canoe big time man. How do you spell canoe? Sigh. I'm comfortable with epistemology but can't spell a floating piece of plastic.
Though I have not heard the Supertones, I have it on good authority they suck. And it comes from a good source (corrie elizabeth nelson). But we'll see.
Unpredicatable sequence of expletives alright! And what library allows water bottles?!
So when are you going to come visit me and Myles?

Well, you and Corrie have similiar taste in music, so don't waste any money on their CDs, I'll let you borrow mine (after you give me Howie back). My dad and brothers are actually leaving tomorrow for New Braunfels, I'm missing out b/c of my job. We'll try to make it to San Marcos ASAP
Have fun at Stubbs! I love you!
Mom
My mom is the best! She got me a Ryan Adams ticket bc she loves me!
Dan, hurry.
Those lyrics are absurd.
Kim-you and myles better get ready bc soon I'm soon to be waco bound!
I happen to like Cream AND Coldplay.
I actually think that Coldplay has been one of the best things out of England in recent years. Well, no, not best... but well worth my time spent listening to them and not Britney Spears.
Just because you ("you" in a general sense) don't like a musician or group doesn't automatically disqualify their talent. My ex hated the Beatles (HEAVEN FORFREAKINGBID!!!), but acknowledged what they had done for rock.
Coldplay are by no means our generation's Beatles, but they have a certain element that is keeping them around. I don't think they're leaving anytime soon, no matter what that Jude Law facsimile says (read my review... which I gave 4 out of 5 stars... you'll see what I speak of).
But enough with the rant. We'll talk music another time.
Another time after I study. *grumble*
Oh yes... They're not THAT bad. I like most of their stuff a little bit, but it just gets repetitive. Either way, I could really care less about the band.. I was just having fun writing about them. I'm really indifferent to them. I support their stuff. No biggie :)
You're right, no biggie. I hope you don't think I was accusing you of... something. Just me mini-ranting.
And I'm also sorry I'm not seeing Ryan Adams. But he's only gonna get bigger and better, so I'll catch him next time.
Have fun at the concert!
Wow Corrie, your sarcasm hurts :'( How many Supertones songs have you heard? You can't just qoute one song and call it a day. I don't want to waste Michael's space, so I'll go into more detail in my blog.
You don't like coldplay D:
Read Jonathan Livingston Seagul, that bird can fly at the speed of sound!
The like coldplay in Italy, I hear that song all the time, that and Gorillaz...
Coldplay in Italy! They're everywhere! Ahhh.
