reporting live from david’s room!

joey, david’s roommate, has finally crashed. after two months of little sleep, coupled with the stresses of school, and compounded by an irregular eating schedule, he got sick. On second thought, Sick is an understatement. He was incapacitated. I’m not going to gross everyone out with gory details, but i do have a funny little clip that you should hear…

story: joey was working on a programming project with a friend named Travis. right after he got sick, lying on the floor in a bathroom stall, and he felt like poo, he somehow picked up his cell phone and called Travis to tell him to come get the hard copy of the program, since Travis needed it to finish the work. well, Travis wasn’t in his room at the time… a machine picked up the message. and this is what it was:

clip: joey’s message

the message: “TrAviSss…. i ffffound the hardc…. i ffound the printed copy of the program, come get it fr me….”

now, analyze the sound of his voice… what incredible emotion! what power trapped in these few syllables! a young man at the end of his rope… how moving. the part that Travis likes the best is the way that joey sounds like he’s squeezing the name “TrAviSss” out with excruciating… feeling. so i think he’s better now. i haven’t seen him since this morning, but if he’s still walkin, he’s probably okay.

newsflash part 2 follows!

well fall is in the air and that means it time for ridiculously overpriced music festivals.

Now before you explode with excitment about going see you’re fav band, better than ezra, (*note sarcasm) hold the phone…..for the low low price of only $80 dollars, you can see said band plus the additon of hundreds of other acts ranging from mediocre to terrible at the new orleans Voodoo Music Festival. Nevermind that the event has nothing to do with “voodoo” or that there are hardly any local acts in the lineup….

wait don’t rip up your ticket yet….. you will get to see those “saviors of rock” the white strips, plus many overrated dj acts!

so start scalping….i mean…framing your ticket now…..this festival is going to rawk!

or…. go read this(first article on the page) from my old friends at pitchforkmedia for further condemnation….. (and you think i’m mean! reader BEWARE this article contains some inappropriate language)

read it…..good….now you can rip up your ticket

come on people…..i got news for you….it’s not file-sharing that killing the music industry….

so yeah i got part 2 of phase two over with….

but i don’t really know if i truly “accomplished” my goal because i am not sure how well i did on my french exam. i mean, i probably did okay, but some questions were kinda iffy (that’s technical speak for ‘unsure’).

anyway, it’s overwith so i’m moving on…

speaking of…today i have been totally caught up in high school nostalgia. for some reason, everthing that’s happened today, reminded me of high school. (a scary thought for some) maybe it was the cool weather that caused all this introspection or maybe it was because i put on an old album that i used to listen to all the time back in the day… i don’t know. i makes me tired just to think about the 15 hour days i used to have back then… but i also think about all those people that made those 4 years so special to me. to all those people (and you know who you are) thanks for being so great and i am thinkin’ about you…..drop me an email sometime if we haven’t talked in a while. after all, there just ain’t nothing like an old friend.

Sergeant Action: “Sir, part one of phase one has been completed sir!”

General Thought: “Excellent sergeant! Can you please explain to the reader’s of D-Comeaux.com what Comander-in-Chief Jon’s 3-Phase Plan “Operation Three Tiger Tactics of Triumph” will be for this week?!”

Sergeant Action: “Certainly Sir! Phase one part one: schedule classes for spring semester. Phase one part two: Do well on French Test. Phase one part three: Do well on philosophy test. Phase two: attend b-day bash at Bradley’s. Phase three: submit written synopsis of events to grand-webmaster Davidian.”

General Thought: “So classes have been scheduled, is that correct?”

Sergeant Action: “Yes sir, but only after a few major problems involving the school’s computers.”

General Thought: “Well not everyone has the privelege of using the ever reliable Mac!”

(chuckles all around at expense of windows os)

General Thought: “Well keep up the good work sergeant. oh and did you read the Davidian’s Dad’s comments on this website?”

Sergeant Action: “Of course.”

General Thought: “He is truly a master of humor, the comander-in-chief laughed all through geology at his hilarious witicisms!”

Sergeant Action: “And those christmas lists?”

Sergeant Thought: “Man, I wish I had that UB1632FX-PRO rackmounting 6mono/4stereo channel mixer w/ 9-band stereo graphic eq + 24-bit digital fx processor.”

More reports to follow later this week: stay tuned!

Statistics show that more people visit www.davidcomeaux.com during the beginning of the week (mondays-wednesdays) than during the weekend. interesting. perhaps i should post more often on sundays to provide something to read for the monday-wednesday crowd.

i spent the weekend studying… more or less. big chem test on tuesday. chem lab, also on tuesday. outline of textbook chapter, tuesday as well. (sense a trend?)

i also happened to attend a black fraternity initiation… it was a “step” performance of sorts. for some reason, maybe the communal calls or the constant phat drum beats, it seemed very tribal to me… at any rate, it was a cultural experience.

i was going to get to sleep tonight at a reasonable hour; alas, guitar buddy derek just walked in. “the best laid plans”. oh well. i’ll just break out the Organic Blue Corn chips and the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and finish the post before 12:30.

i am doing better in Calc. yay! makes me so happy.

i have devoted this weekend to Homework catch-up weekend. in other words, i do all my hw, and then, when i’m done, i’ll go crazy and have fun. because i like doing that.

what my christmas list might look like:

1. ink pen
   
2. $8 for a movie ticket
   
3. socks and underwear
   
4. new toothbrush
   
5. yogurt
   
6. UB1632FX-PRO rackmounting 6mono/4stereo channel mixer w/ 9-band stereo graphic eq + 24-bit digital fx processor

it’s kinda hard to make my christmas list, because i’m trying NOT to put only audio/guitar equipment. in 6th-10th grade, i used to have trouble trying not to put only computer equipment on my list. at least the Guitar stuff won’t go obsolete for another 10-15 years. and no, that’s not my real christmas list.

back to the homework. byebye

another weekend come and gone. i wanted to post over the past few days about all the things that happened… but i stayed focused (mostly) on my scholarly duties. and now i sit, homework as completed as i can go right now. i don’t feel particularly accomplished… i’m not sure why.

so here’s a few reflections.

it’s time to bring my life back into focus. i’d like to. really. there are so many things going on that i’d like to work on, such as: i decided that if i make A’s on my Calc II tests for the rest of the semester (impossible, but aim high, right?!?!), i can achieve a 3.7 overall GPA.

so i’d like to start focusing my life by getting to sleep.
this is not a pointless post. sorry if you feel unfulfilled. i’ll let you know my progress in later updates.

yeah you know it.

it’s almost that time

the week is drawing to a close

what does that mean for every school aged human in the world?

the weekend!

okay, okay this is a temporary celebration. so tomorrow is only thursday. but that is still alot better than monday. so far the week is zooming by.
i managed to survive my 3 hour geology lab (oh those pesky metamorphic rocks and topographic maps!) and i happened to set the curve for my last geology test (but don’t tell anybody because i might get beat up er something)
i’ve also got to watch fun movies about primates in athropology and have talks about the essence of identity in philosophy.
what could make this week better you ask?
how about that weekend.
and a return of the davidian to louisiana. that would be nice.
also it was an artic 50 degrees this morning.
the winter demons are headed to the B.R. i must prepare and sacrifice appropriately.
which remindes me, mike the tiger is nearly half-way to having enough funds for his new habitat.
except he’ll never know because the sign showing the progress of the drive (you know those little thermometer’s that get filled in to the top as more people contribute money) is facing the wrong way!

surprise! i showed up at my family’s door in Lafayette on friday night.

so everyone who thought i was having adventures more than 700 miles away was utterly and totally surprised. desiree and i really got ‘em good.

it all started about three or four weeks ago… desiree wanted to go back to lafayette… to see someone very, very special… no, not those special people! heh. nope not those either. try again. not them. no. actually, you’re wrong. she wanted to see her DOG. that’s right. the original motive to traverse three states, 11 hours of driving, and an entire fall break spent and gone, was a four-legged furry friend (and people say the dogs are the faithful ones… HA!) So i was enlisted as the counterpart in this curious plot. des started planning EVERYTHING. i was skeptical. when the news came that we would be in town for STM’s homecoming, i was even more skeptical. how are we going to orchestrate the timing on this thing? Desiree’s parents were planning to leave before we got there, my mom was supposed to get on a plane for cincinatti, julie would be lost in the crowds of a football game, Danielle is staying in Baton Rouge for the LSU game, who would be left in town to surprise? and what are the odds that a half a day of driving would turn out to be an uneventful trip?

hold on.

take a moment.

life is spectacular and everything around you is perfect in it’s solidarity with all other created things.

these phrases are resounding in my brain constantly as i walk around on campus these days.
about a week ago i walked through the proverbial “metaphysical portal of freedom” in which i am subject to the rules of causality, natural law, and divine guidance.
i revel in this freedom and in the new-found hope it has given me.
my life extends before me in an infinity of possiblity.
i think a great thank-you should go out to all those people who told me college would be the best exprience of my life.

you were right. it is.

“Vivo, iam non ego, vivit vero in me Christus”

i took my calculus 2 exam, and dangit, i don’t know how i did. i was pretty rushed at the end; like everyone else in the class, i did not exactly finish the exam. the room was full when he called time. i know i did not get an A because i neglected the final problem, but i believe (hope, yearn, pray) that i did much better than last time, simply because i knew the material. it all depends on how nice he is when he grades it. the stupid thing had 4 questions total…

sometimes life is just rough.
but it has passed.
and now, i present, the future…
