Life's OK. Probably going to head to real person school in the fall and get an actual degree. I've spent five years at this law firm being a paralegal and they're about to retire, and besides I've put off being an adult for long enough.
I'm probably going to end up at William Paterson (where my dad teaches) because it's more or less free and strings can be pulled to get me in, so to speak. I need a little help since my education record, despite ultimately being very good, is, well, interestingI'm thinking...physics? The benefit of not going to real school until you're 25 (...26...) is that you get to see how the rest of your friends fucked up. So, basically, everyone I know that has a degree in the arts (basically, everyone I know) either is unemployed, underemployed, or doing something that has nothing to do with their degree. The only people I've seen that use their degrees are basically accountants and science folk. In other words, practical stuff

I don't know. It's well enough put together, but it's not my style. I would say it's definitely their worst record. First couple tunes are OK, and everything's catchy, but it's really lacking any kind of challenge or new direction, and falls back too much on pop sensibilities. It also has Coheed's worst song by far on it (eight track...I think it's called "Made Out of Nothing"). Sounds like a garden-variety punk-emo song from 2001.
They did just release a video of Claudio playing a song from their NEW new album acoustic on their website, and that tune's actually pretty tight, though the lyrics keep getting more and more silly...
Hmm...I kind of switch between liking Second Stage, Keeping Secrets, and No World the best, depending on my mood. Second Stage I like mostly for sentimental reasons, but I dig the record's relative grittiness compared to the others and kind of respect that what they did on that record was really new for its time. In Keeping Secrets is a bit up and down as a record, but I think it has some of their best songs on it (Crowing, Light and the Glass, Faint of Hearts to name a few). No World For Tomorrow on the other hand is just a super-solid record front to back. It never really blows the door off, but it's just so well put together and has some really good song writing on it, and I find it's the easiest of all their records for me to just throw into the player and listen to at any given time
