You Are Hear

The name's Alex, 19 years old. Brother of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia's Sigma Alpha Chapter. I'm a Percussion Performance major at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I'll be posting my thoughts, as well as some details on the goings-on of my crazy, musical life.

Where am i

[punxs]

This is my friend Sam and I.

We go to a private boarding school in Lake Tahoe, California.

Sam is pan-sexual and myself, well, I am a bit confused of who I am at the moment.

Last night, our school had a formal dinner and I asked Sam to be my date a week ago, he said yes!

The night of the formal dinner, Sam asked our assistant headmaster if he could wear a dress, he said no before he had even finished the question. When Sam and I showed up to the dinner, we were holding hands and I was also holding the roses Sam had gave to me. Sam was wearing mascara and lipstick. Our assistant headmaster freaked out and told Sam if he didn’t get the makeup off, he would be in massive trouble. Sam and I went back to the room to get his makeup off and came back down. The whole night, he was telling us how bizarre and weird we were. The night ended and the morning rose. We both have our first class of Friday with our assistant headmaster. He told the both of us if our relationship went any further, he would take us behind the barn and beat us. He also told us if we were in public school, we would have our dicks chopped off by other kids. After an entire period of being teased, Sam and I got together and thought we needed to do something about this. So here I am, Julien Nicol, 15 years old, asking for your help to spread this around and have it know that California allows private schools to discriminate against people with certain sexual preferences.

there's a building cluster that looks like the number 9.  they should seriously build a 6 next to it to steer into the skid.

Riveting

[youarehear-blog]

Sophomore year. What a doozy.

-being too depressed to get out of bed

-being too anxious to get to sleep

-failing Music Theory and Class Piano

-being placed into the lowest large ensemble at UMass

-being overextended in my extracurricular life

And many more.  But between all those hardships were definitely some of the whackiest, craziest times of my life with three friends whom I wouldn't trade for the world.  Now, as I sit home reflecting, I've finally realized that my sophomore slump was exactly what I needed; you can't bounce back if you haven't hit bottom, and now my life is starting to correct itself.  Sure, it's still a little roughed up; I've had to make a lot of apologies to a lot of people, and I've lost a lot of people important to me due to my own mistakes.  But over the summer and the next year, I'm finally going to start making some repairs and moving on with my life, such as:

-starting therapy in Amherst

-moving into my sublet in Amherst (and hopefully living there full-time come fall)

-spending quality time with some of my Brothers in Phi, Mu, and Alpha

-taking a more full-time schedule at the Iron Horse

-focusing on my career as opposed to spreading myself between many options

The sophomore slump is over.  Now its time to bring it to the home stretch; here's to junior year, may thy bowl be always packed and may thy beers be always cold.

This scene was improvised, so ludacris’ reaction is genuine and dwayne didn’t have a line after tyrese said his. 

[vikingfighter-deactivated201909]

If Stuntmen from the old movies don’t have your full respect then I just don’t know what to say to you

[working--on--excellence]

l tried really hard not to reblog this

[nescientes]

Yeah, it is indeed really hard not to reblog a fucking thing.

[spaceman-v-spiff-deactivated201]

Can we all agree that the man in the first gif is the manliest man in the world?

[jolivet-deactivated20190306]

Are we just going to all silently acknowledge that the last guy is clearly dead and that we just saw him die.

HOLD UP FOR A SECOND

ALL OF THESE GIFS ARE ONE MAN

THE SINGULAR BUSTER KEATON

WHILE FILMING THE GENERAL

HE SNAPPED HIS NECK ON THE RAILROAD TIES AND WENT HOME AND ICED HIS BODY

AND CAME BACK FOR WORK THE NEXT DAY

HE ONCE GOT HIS HIP RIPPED OUT OF ITS SOCKET BY A MALFUNCTIONING ELEVATOR AND WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH HIMSELF FOR BEING INJURED

HE ONCE HAD TO FALL 100 FEET DOWN A WATERFALL INTO A NET

A STUNTMAN TESTED IT AND BROKE BOTH LEGS AND DISLOCATED HIS SHOULDER

BUSTER DID THE STUNT ANYWAY AND LANDED WITHOUT A SCRATCH

IN ‘THE HIGH DIVE’

BUSTER DID A TRICK DIVE THROUGH A CARDBOARD DECK THAT WAS CAMOUFLAGED TO LOOK LIKE THE REAL DECK

ONLY HE COULDN’T TELL FROM 100 FEET UP WHERE THE CARDBOARD STOPPED AND THE REAL DECK STARTED AND THERE WAS ONLY LIKE A THREE FOOT MARGIN FOR ERROR

AND WHEN HE HESITATED A SUDDEN BREEZE LITERALLY KNOCKED HIM OFF THE DIVING BOARD AND HE HAD TO JUMP ANYWAY

AND HE MISSED THE REAL DECK BY LESS THAN A FOOT BUT HE MADE IT

IN THE SECOND GIF HE’S RECREATING SOMETHING THAT THE ACTUAL GENERAL PURSUERS HAD TO DO IN THE CIVIL WAR

IF HE MISSES THAT TIE

THE TRAIN WILL BE DERAILED AND HE WILL DIE IN THE EXPLOSION

IN THE THIRD GIF AN ENTIRE HOUSE IS FALLING HE HAS ONE TAKE AND IF HE HAS NOT DONE THE CALCULATIONS CORRECTLY HE WILL BE CRUSHED

HE HAS AN INCH-WIDE MARGIN ON EACH SIDE

AND THE HOUSE LITERALLY BRUSHES HIS LEFT SHOULDER ON THE WAY DOWN

YOU CAN SEE HIS LEFT ARM JUMP BECAUSE HE’S FLINCHING FROM THE PAIN

THAT LAST GIF

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THAT JUMP

HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO FALL AND THEY HADNT PLANNED FOR IT

BUT HE SURVIVED

BUSTER KEATON SURVIVED 100% OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED LESSER MEN INCLUDING WWI, TORNADOS, HOUSEFIRES, ALCOHOLISM, BROKEN NETS, CRUSHING DEPRESSION, THE DEPRESSION ITSELF, THE MCCARTHY WITCHHUNTS, THE END OF SILENT CINEMA, AND ABOUT 900 MORE OF THE STUNTS YOU SEE ABOVE

BUSTER LIVED TO BE 70 YEARS OLD

FATHERED LIKE FOUR KIDS AND EIGHT GRANDKIDS

HE CAME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF ALL THAT

THINKING THAT LIFE WAS GOOD AND PEOPLE WERE WONDERFUL

BUSTER KEATON IS NOT JUST A STUNTMAN

HE IS A GODDAMN SAINT
