Anything worthwhile, that is robust and resilient, that is the object of my material desires.
Sometimes alright without compsure.
Groom my mane, I need stability.
Russell's death and hypnotically driving back from Birmingham, help place me in a daze of the dreams that haunt and please me
One hundred cookies eaten by my dead friend; The smells of beauty and attraction following me home like a stray and lonely imaginary friend, but so vivid and true
A lucid dream that insists that its not and the borders between what is and isn't seem to fade
Nothing is more dreamy than rolling around in the grass or being given condolences
If I were ever able to handle important things in my life, I could handle each of you
But together, you dead - you kissingly alive, together you confuse the fuck out of me
This town is too hot.

I just drank about five glasses of water for dinner. I chewed the ice too.

I figure I'd put something here to entertain you (i.e any of the people that still check their LJ friends page) instead of doing what I should be, namely working (I've put it off this far), studying (never!), packing (so much shit), secret missions (it involves the letters "w" and "o" and "o").

So here is a photo of a Rubik's Cube:

and here are some photos from the Andrew Bird show Saturday night at Herrick Chapel, Grinnell College:

I can die happily now that I know this: "Bill Nye was also the assistant of Dr. Emmett L. Brown in the live-action segments of Back to the Future: The Animated Series (1991–1993). It was on one of the episodes where Bill corrected Doc Brown on the correct pronunciation of Gigawatt (Not Jigawatt). Doc Brown fired back with a question "What are you, Bill Nye the science guy?" and it was here that a legend was born."

No control.

Apologies to everyone I was not able to visit while back in Atlanta. I still love you.

2006-10-23T03:43:35Z

Perhaps I'll see everyone else while back home on my winter break.

I'm back home. I'm going to try to find you now.

So I spent several days with this one girl.
Things were amazing. We both thought so.
She then called it off, put the brakes on our futures.
I don't know why.
Oh darn.
What is LiveJournal for but to write emo-ish things?
Poop.
Intensity is even more intense when its compacted into a short period of time.

I have been at Grinnell College for a week now.
I've met many-a-neat people here.
Still trying to find my niche, though I intend on not losing my niche back home.
Eat Your Face Records now has a website: http://www.eatyourfacerecords.com.
There's not much on there.
I'd like to tell you about what I have been doing for the past week, but I don't remember it all.
I am enjoying myself, however.
I'll offer up a much more eloquent and verbose perspective upon my frame of life later.

This is my room.

Another perspective of my room. Those two doorways lead to my two roommate's rooms.

This is my hall.

This is Gates Hall, my dorm. I'm on the second floor.

This is Katie, she lives above me.

This is Evan, one of my two roommates. He also plays the melodica.

We don't say "good-bye"

2006-08-17T05:12:38Z

we say "see you later, aligator".
We don't say "farewell",
we say "in a while, crocadile".

I am leaving Atlanta for the next few months, I'll be at Grinnell College.
It is beginning to hit me, I believe.
I wish I could have said bye to more people, spent time with more people. But I'll be back.
I'll still be availble via the internet and my cell phone (at the moment I can't get text message, tis a mystery).

I am so down

Due to a severe miscalculation...

2006-08-15T23:23:23Z

I am leaving for college a day earlier than I thought (Thursday instead of Friday). So, I guess, if you wanted to see me one last time before I go to Iowa for 4 months then you are going to have to see me tomorrow.

Often it is difficult to describe what one yet much easier to describe what one isn't.
An illustration
This is certainly not how I am feeling:

But one day, I shall proclaim "Let the wild rumpus begin!"
But for now, something entirely different...

giggly shits.

I've been bored
---

upside down, make me drown
man's sky is radiation blue ambience
a grand scheme designed for the matter of looking up
the lovegazer, the drowning scholar of self-conscious immersion
his is the hallucination of self-deprecation
so fall up fall up fall up

radiate your blue ambience spreading over a water-damaged ceiling
monochrome moisture collecting in clumps,
colored just for Yukon Cornelius
but maybe this is it, that drip drip drip
continually fucking her for the conception of Cronus
so fall up fall up fall up

the immortal front side, snowy silver hair
threesome of man and god and goddess, a warm jovial blanket
bleeding that radioactive blue ambience, a naked pastel
sought but never found, only occasionally glanced at
the pupil constricts for pain, a sight for the lovegazer
so fall up fall up fall up into it

---

I went a secret club in Athens called the Secret Squirrel. It was pretty cool. Got to see Marshmallow Coast, Doug Gillard, and The Late B.P. Helium perform. Present there were a handful of people in other Elephant 6 bands, most notably Of Montreal. Rancid is this Tuesday, Athens Pop Fest in August with The Mountain Goats (on the 10th), Apples In Stereo, and Circulatory System (Both on the 11th).

2006-07-21T19:47:25Z

I am back in Atlanta tomorrow, around 1:00 PM. I've already made plans to go see Clerks 2 and then drive to Athens to see The Late B.P. Helium. Let me know if you wanna tag along.

As it so happens, I got to go see the Upright Citizens Brigade while in New York.

And this guy ----^ went to Grinnell.

Herb got a jar
the jar said "meow"
Herb never got too far

***

Georgey george got a loop-de-loop
He'd never been quite so happy
George always had a handle, always had the scoop

***

Marcus got a Rottweiler
Shaved him like his head
Marcus was a regular Sieg-heiler

***

This left Andy in shambles
A subject not quite touched on
Andy and a lustful propensity for mammals

***

Where am I now: lonesome Kansas City
How do I feel: shitcakes.
What do I dance: the jiggity-jig.

Summer is difficult.

X-Men 3 was terrible.
I graduate tomorrow.
This summer should be good.
I am looking foward to

2006-05-02T02:26:05Z

So I decided to go to Grinnell College. Don't give me any shit about choosing it over Emory or Tech.

And now, I am free.

I have every intention of seeing They Might Be Giants this Wednesday, Art Brut on Saturday the 13th, and the Flaming Lips on Sunday the 21st.

Fuck. Come see my play.

2006-04-27T12:42:05Z

Come see my play. I'm the King. It is tonight (thursday), tomorrow, and saturday. The show starts at 7:00 PM each night. Please do come.

this was an april fools joke.

2006-04-02T07:32:45Z

I got a full-ride scholarship to the University of Chicago.

edit: not really. quite the opposite.

A really fucking weird thing has happend to me (which is not uncommon)

2006-03-28T02:05:27Z

A weird thing happend to me.

So I was accepted to this really good liberal arts college, Grinnell (claims to fame: Herbie Hancock went there, Newsweek's Best-All-Around College on the Hottest Colleges for 2005 list). With the acceptance letter they also sent an invitation to a "reception" for admitted students- a chance to visit the school.

So while I was at school my Mom called and registered a spot for me for this reception just in case I decided to go. She told the woman who answered that she was registering for "Christopher Davies". The woman responded with "which one?". When my Mom told me this I was shocked: "They admitted TWO Christopher Davies's?!?". My Dad heard me and said "No they didnt accept two". I thought "oh, they must have duplicate files on me" after I heard my dad say that. I was relieved, briefly. My mom looked at me and said "they admitted three".

THREE!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK?

This is mind boggling.... How can three Chistopher Davies's be admitted to the same college, the same year? A worse thought is if these guys applied to Grinnell they may have applied to some of the other schools I applied to. How could they admit THREE people with SAME NAME? Are they using Affirmative Action quotas or something? Did they require three Christopher Davies' in order to gain a certain amount of diversity?

How could I go to a school, a small one at that, when someone else has my name? I can handle multiple Christophers, I can handle multiple Davies's (unless they are unrelated to me, than I just barely handle it), but I cannot handle two Christopher Davies's. Its impossible. It will create mucho confusion. I will lose all sense of an identity.

God, this is insane. Shit like this happens to me all the time, and it is really fucking funny, but at the same time it is terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

For his spring break my brother is in Paris right now (where all the student riots are happening, in case you don't read/listen to/watch the news). He said that he was in the Latin Quarter and saw the Parisian Police barricading the doors of the Sorbonne (the Oxford of France; its where many of the rioters go to school). This spawned a thought of mine: no one in the U.S. has the balls to riot about anything anymore. And so much stupid shit has happend that would merit at least small-scale rioting.

In the wise words of Tim "Lint" Armstrong: "I wanna riot".

Reading everything in here will cause your head to asplode.

Katy will enjoy this. The goal: not to shoot the puppy.
