im gonna write now.

hey people. i sort of realised that my friends have been blogging in a real way. writing things, writing about their lives, what’s going on, their struggles and I realised…my blog is lacking in that aspect. I want to remedy this. I love my blog, I think its fun and entertaining but when it comes to substance, it is without.

So…what should I talk about. Hmmm…. Well, I’m back in Knoxville. I never thought I would be happy to say that but I am. I’m trying something new in my life. I’m trying to be realistic and sensible. This translates into choosing to be in Knoxville for the foreseeable future. Which for me really means maybe a year but still thats a lot for me. Anyway, I just think the right thing for me to do is be around my friends and my family and work. Get a job and get my life together. I need a salary, I need to gain financial independence from my parents and I need to learn how to take care of myself and my future and stand on my own without stumbling.

I believe the way for me to do that is to stay here, in Knoxville, and do that. Maybe a year, maybe two. Hopefully after that, I will be able to afford to live somewhere and work somewhere like Manhattan. London is always in the back of my mind (sometimes its the only thing I can see) but again rational, reality and sense are keeping me from trying to attain London for the next few years at least.

So that’s why I’m in Knoxville. Sounds dull but I guess dull is what I need to be so that in five years I can be wild and exciting and crazy. I know its not exactly the way to live but I just feel like I don’t have another choice.

Pros about Knoxville: My parents are here, I like being around them not all the time but its nice most of the time. My living situtation is awesome. Living with lindsay is great. FUN! and hopefully this new girl Leah will move in and we can stay in the condo and have even more FUN! Living in the same place as Amy is AWESOME. I missed her more than anything when I moved to Asheville and being able to hang out whenever is too amazing for words. I like knoxville too, its familiar and safe and i like that.

Cons about Knoxville: boys, not enough of the guys I like. it bums me out and bores me. but maybe im just looking in the wrong places. maybe i need to go to the pilot light more. ill try that. knoxville is a bit of the same old same old. you cant escape your past. its always walking through the bar door every friday night. there is no hiding in knoxville. I dont like that, because sometimes, a lot, I want to hide. Lastly, my city girl heart aches in knoxville, the void just doesn’t get filled. I need to go to atlanta or nashville or charlotte soon just to hold me over for a bit.

Well I think this is long enough, anyone who made it through to this point. THANK YOU! you’re awesome.

hope to blog like this again soon. maybe a video blog next time.

stay tuned

love you guys.

Pirate Day

My Pirate Name Is:

Dread Pirate Rackham

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

One Last Mavid Video for the day

please notice the choreography and the kick up at the end. I LOVE THEM!

OH MY GOODNESS

David Cook and Michael Johns in a pub in Minneapolis. Drinking and singing karaoke. or if youre david cook just playing air guitar. man i would have tons of fun with them!

note that they are pointing to each other when they are singing(you shook me all night long) and in the beginning on the line (american thighs) michael points to david's thighs. Sheesh.

YES! I knew he was an assassin too...and we even deal in the same weaponry!

I was so wrong before.

i said below that something was the gayest picture ive ever seen…i was wrong. the below photograph is clearly the gayest thing in the world!

wow he's pretty: new photo series

First Up: David Cook

Mavid Pictures Continue

MICHAEL JOHNS IS HILARIOUS AND OUT OF CONTROL and apparently likes the cubs.

From the concert I went to. AHHHHHH!

michael johns is out of control in the entire beginning. him and david cook are out of control with the cokes. i can only imagine when they are not on stage that the cokes mysteriously turn into beers. and holding up that bunny to archie and everything that goes along with that. this may be one of my favorite videos ever.
enjoy.

be careful the audio isnt very good. a little loud.

I'm Scared.

This scenario is not ok. Your boss' brother is at the office and asks you, during your work day, when you're working, to look something up on the computer.
this is what you find.
uncool.
oh and by the way it wouldn't be ok if anyone asked anyone ever to look this up. Or for anyone to ever look it up on their own.
unless of course to share this story and these photos with the WOILD!
