As I was nicely reminded, I’ve neglected this blog once again. I sup­pose it’s because of the lack of things to say and lack of time to say them. As usual, I’m dis­cov­er­ing new music… my lat­est pop dis­cov­ery is Mika. His music is pretty unique pop, so although I’m not exactly amazed by the music, I’m pretty impressed. If you like the song below (“Grace Kelly”), some other songs to check out are “Love Today” and “Relax (Take it Easy).”

I can not wait until col­lege. Just the idea of a new envi­ron­ment is so incred­i­bly refresh­ing that it’s one of the only things keep­ing me going until then. It’ll be a big change that will be pretty scary at first but I’ll adjust. Life here at home is just get­ting more and more frus­trat­ing, I can’t imag­ine stay­ing here through the rest of the year. The ironic thing is, I can’t imag­ine leav­ing in three months either… it’s a very strange feel­ing. I’m lit­er­ally pick­ing up and mov­ing across the coun­try alone. As much as I know that it’s time for change, and as much I want this change… I don’t at the same time. I’m com­fort­able here in a lot of ways that I don’t think I’ll fully rec­og­nize until I’m gone. One thing I did love about Greenville was that I felt a sense of being home when I was there even though I had never been out there before in my life.

I guess that’s what this summer’s pur­pose will be for me. Mak­ing the most of the life that I have here in Jer­sey and basi­cally say­ing good­bye to every­thing and every­one I have had in my life.

In the light of the sun, is there any­one?
Oh it has begun
Oh dear you look so lost
Eyes are red and tears are shed
This world you must’ve crossed
You said…

You don’t know me
You don’t even care, oh yeah
She said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah

Essen­tial yet appealed
Carry all your thoughts across
An open field
When flow­ers gaze at you
They’re not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said…

She said I think I’ll go to Boston…
I think I’ll start a new life
I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name
I’ll get out of Cal­i­for­nia, I’m tired of the weather
I think I’ll get a lover and fly em out to Spain
I think I’ll go to Boston,
I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind
I think I need a sun­rise, I’m tired of the sun­set
I hear it’s nice in the sum­mer, some snow would be nice… oh yeah

Boston… where no one knows my name… yeah
Where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
Yeah Boston
Where no one knows my name
