Sitting criss-cross on my bed, and listening to Nate Berkus. Man, this guy is genius.

I just uploaded My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. Man, this guy can rhyme.

Scarfed down a jalapeno cheese bagel. Man, Noah sure knows his carbs.

I'm almost 200 pounds. I don't feel different. I feel a little depressed because of it, sure. So.. I do feel different. When I found out how much I weigh, I went directly to the supermarket and bought fruit. I didn't know what else to do. My brain is still freaking out a little, but I'm trying hard to practice patience and willpower.

loving mat kearney right now. his voice reminds me of dave matthews and chris martin. i could listen to him all day, but i'll settle for this on repeat.

cracking down

on myself. its time, for sure.

when i was little, i was a total knowledge seeker. when i found everything i had been looking for, i became a knowledge sponge. if i was near it, and it happened to soak in, sweet. it wasn't important to me, though. i think it needs to start being so crucial again. so, without further ado, some things that i am enjoying right now :)

when i visited santa monica last summer, i fell in love. this summer we went to the outlet store. i died.

this site is amazing. voicing your dreams is so important. plus, if other people know about your goals, its harder to ignore them.

3. good.is
if you don't understand how almost anything works, this place maps it out for you. literally. this site makes five year old me pat current me on the back for not being completely closed off to new knowledge.

last but not least; THE LAST HARRY POTTER. i'm obsessing and watching everything i can. my man got us ticket to the 12.10 showing. i love that this isn't just a movie, but an era pleasantly wrapping up onscreen. i can't freaking wait.

let's update you on me.

My life just got more complicated in delightful ways. Well, semi-delightful. The least delightful way has me sitting in class for two hours twice a week listening to math theories. BLEHHH. The second, however, has me head over heels with a boy who makes me giggle and weak in the knees.. in the best, non-creepy, way.

Let's start things off.

My name is Tristan. I'm 19 and I live in Oregon, one of the most beautiful states in this fucked up union. I work a lot, and I go to school. Not now though. SUMMATIME. I live with my family still, and it's usually okay. I like to spell things out instead of using abbreviations. I'm pretty boring, but sometimes funny, and sometimes have interesting thigs to contribute. I also cuss sometimes, so sorry if that offends, but keep reading - things might get good.
I hope to be posting musings, ideas, project updates, random stories, findings, and photos I take. I also may get lazy with typing correctly, but I'll try my best to make my freshman English teacher proud :)
If you happen upon this, please, tell me. I would love to hear your ideas about anything.
