Dream

So a couple of nights ago I had a pretty crazy dream. I never told anyone about this dream now because I have been spending the time just thinking about it. There really isn't anything to think about this dream but I still have had it like on my mind for some reason. I feel like if I can write about this dream and capture it as it was in my head that my creativity will come back and I can get some of these stories out of my head and write more. So let's give it a shot. 

Riding my bike to meet up at Loch Haven park for Critical Mass, the once a month bike ride around the streets of Orlando. This being the second time I've attended the event. I was riding with some friends there a back way I had looked up before we left. We decided to ride and the after ride to the venue to see a show that is back this way. So we are riding on the street in the bike lane. I am leading because I know the route. We come up to an intersection where it is a 2 way stop for the crossing street. So we are going straight and the street perpendicular to our street. So I am riding and this car hits me. The car did not stop at the stop sign and hit me and i flew off my bike and into the windshield of a car heading the same direction as I am, bounce off that windshield and onto the windshield of the car heading in the opposite direction and of course all of the cars hit but I am just a rag doll in this mess. And as you could imagine I did. Which is really weird to me. Not the fact that I had a dream about death. Every since I lost my Nanny a couple of years back I think about dying all the time. But what is weird is that I was told at one point in my life that if you die in a dream then you are dying in real life and I didn't believe it but I kept it in mind all these years. Also that weirds me out is that I have had dreams come true before. Like some crazy duju vu (if that's how it's spelled) shit. So of course like now everyone is going to say don't go stay home. But I have never let anything like this stop me before. I can honestly say that the night before I lost control of my car and hit the walls I had a dream about me in a car accident. Which is some crazy shit and I haven't told anyone about that before. Now this isn't the best story every and if i decided to turn this into a story it would be set up a lot differently. 

Well that is that and I am curious if anyone who reads this has had any crazy things like this happen to them. And if they would share them. 

Good bye

MOMs Bday

My mothers bday was wednesday. So i drove up to ATL to see her and surprise her. And also get some a few things for my new apartment. I will be heading back to Orlando on sunday. I miss riding my bike. Its only been a week but I wanna just go ride. It's odd. I honestly love everyone up here but I miss Orlando. I really don't see myself living in Orlando after school. But I really don't like living in ATL. I love the people not the place. I'll visit but never move back here. Who knows where I will end of after Full Sail. We shall see that is also in 2 years still.

I don't really have much to report other than I came up with a pretty good story idea on the car ride up. I can't wait to start writing it. I just hope it comes out as good as it is in my head. 

well hope everyone has a glorious day!

Almost a month since ive been here

It has been some time since I have posted on here. I have completed the 1st month of full sail and on to month 2. I also have moved to my own place now. I love it. So come visit! I dont have anything in it till I go home and pick up more things from my parents house. I am still working on my bike and in the processes of making it a bomb ass single speed. I am doing it all my self for the most part. I put new handlebar tape on it and striped all the gears off of it, took the back break off and just have a front break. I still need to get new tires. I will post a picture of it when I am all done and loving how it looks. I rode critical mass for the 1st time and it was a shocker. I didnt expect a turn out like that. Ton of people riding their bikes around orlando cant complain at all. I can't wait to finish my bike. 

school and my bike have become my life and I love it. i am even fixing up a friends bike for him. Its so much fun!

I think that's all for now. Good day all!

Florida

WOW what a week. I've been here for a good week and a half now, maybe just a little bit longer. It's a completely different life than what I am used to back in Woodstock. I have been to both of my classes now and I have class here in a little while and I have a feeling I am really going to like school here. And for the few of you that knew me in high school and college you know that I hate school and I really think I am going to LOVE this experience. Teachers are laid back but still need to get your work done. And I work in the same way. I am a laid back kid but when it comes to getting work done you get it done. So I think that this will be perfect for me and I have some ideas and goals to do while I am down here. And all I am going to do is make sure that I do what I am supposed to do. I am like a stones throw away from disney and all the fun family vacation spots, but I also will not visit them unless its spring break or I have finished all of my work. I came here to go to school and do something and I am going to do it. 

I miss everyone back home and really wish I could have seen everyone one last time, but I will be back for visits. But I will tell you that I have no intention of moving back to Woodstock, GA. But don't worry because my mother is there and I got to visit her. Oh and all my friends. 

I have been riding my bike to school everyday and riding it when I can if my destination isn't too far. Too far being like a couple of miles. It has been difficult lately because the wind here has been pretty crazy and makes me have to work twice as hard so I am twice as tired from the ride. But I love it! I still need a good name for my bike, its blue and a roadster and I think that's all you need to know so send those suggestions my way and we will get a great name for it! I really can't wait to get further into my program. I wasn't really stoked on recording until I heard what some of the things I will be doing and I am really excited about it. And I can't wait to play with some of the equipment. 

Oh I did again lose everyone's phone numbers from my phone so if I haven't gotten your number again and you would like me to have it please send me that as well in a message. You don't need to post it for everyone to see I will understand that. 

I am making some good friends down here and I am having a great time and I am really happy. I can't wait to see everyone again and I hope that it's sooner than later. And everyone is welcome to visit and if you are in the area I will work to see you into my schedule but it's pretty crazy here. I am about to go to class from 1:15-5 and then lab from 5:15-9 so I wont be home till late but please I wanna know about everything everyone is doing and if you need anything you know I am here to help you!

Love you all

Colin

Jamming to the New A Day To Remember

So I got home from tour at 4 am Saturday morning. Tour was the best time ever and I hate that it is over. But I am also super stoked to start Full Sail. Also I am not feeling 100% 1st time I have been sick like this since 7th grade. 

Listening to the new A Day To Remember and it's pretty awesome. I was never a huge fan but I am definitely feeling this new album. 

Back to tour, Looks To Make History was solid every night of tour. They are probably my favorite Atlanta based band. Tour wasn't full of sold out shows and yet Looks played as if they were. Some nights they may have just played for me and the other boys but they still bought it like they were the biggest band ever. And I love them because they just play their music. Pete played 2 sets every night since he was filling in for WAOF till they find a drummer.

So I think I have finally found out my problem. I am not writing for myself anymore. I started writing for a story. I used to write for myself and now I'm not and I hate that. I need to just write to write and then edit it all to make something if I like what I'm working with. 

One of these days I will finally write a long post but I am sick so I just don't feel like doing anything right now. So I am going to call it quits for right now 

Goodnight everyone!
