I can be the knife in your back The noose around your neck The bullet right through your skull But I'd rather be the force of my spoken word Let our voices form the weapons
Band needs to come to the states. This song worked so well in the PRIDE highlight I was watching earlier. Vid fucks up the layout, but I don't care. Oh, and fuck this cough.
First day of classes today, and it went pretty good, sans parking. English seems fun, but going to be very demanding. The professor seems really cool. She looks like a hipster haha. History is probably going to be my favorite class. The professor is probably the funniest one I've ever had. Made learning about the Civil War interesting and enjoyable for once. His slave jokes were hilarious. My music class is going to be a sinch, as all I have to do is listen to music, discuss it on the boards, and go to a show and write about my experience. Let's hope tomorrow will be like today, as the ever dreaded math class is tomorrow, but philosophy with Danny should be fun.
Fall is going to be very busy, moreso than Summer, and I think I like it that way. Besides school, there's a shit ton of shows coming up. My projected list:

I'll close this post off with my jam of the Summer
Touche Amore's "...To the Beat of a Dead Horse" came in today, along with my Banner tank top. Getting packages in the mail is one of the best feelings ever. Anyways, I've been listening to this record nonstop. The lyrics probably have to be my favorite parts of it. Plus they were printed on the back of this massive fold out poster. Can't wait to see them in the Fall with Thursday and TFOT. I pretty much know this record word for word now, and will continue listening for the rest of the night, then off to Inglorious Basterds.
