Well, I'm home. I have been for two days now, I just haven't really had any initiative to update. I haven't been too sure whether I'm happy or not lately. Because I can feel both but I know I'm not somewhere in the middle. It's just like up and down for split seconds. It seems last summer the goodbyes were the hardest part, now it's like the aftermath is taking more of a toll. It felt like much longer than two weeks, so long that I'm not used to being home just yet. And I've been so lazy lately, even before I left. My days have just been spent around the house, moving so slowly trying to kill time. I don't know if it's that I have nothing to do, or if I just don't want to do anything. I really feel like a waste on these kind of days though. I started thinking about Nick for a while and when I used to hang out with him. I really miss it to be honest. I feel like I'm not fitting in with friends lately, but I felt like I fit in with him. I guess I just need something constant, whether it's a friend or a girlfriend. I don't know, but I guess the only constant is change. I'm looking back and I know I'm not done growing up, but I really miss the growing up I've already been through. I'm worried about what I'm going to do when it stops. I often find myself wishing I was somewhere in the past, but I'm sure in a year or so I'll be wishing I was where I am now. I'm losing touch with absolutely everyone. I don't like the fact that what used to make me happy or pass the time doesn't anymore. I don't know if it's just stress about the upcoming school year. I really think the challenge will be what helps me through though. I've just had too much on my mind lately. I really want to find something to calm me down and make me feel at the least stable, possibly happier. I guess I just really need a filler, something to occupy my time. I think that filler is practicing drums constantly. I can't make an effort to get involved socially either, I just wish somethings could've stayed the way they were. I'm sick of being alone, the end. |

Wow so I haven't updated in a month. What can I say? I have been too
busy shooting myself with my Airsoft Gun to get chicks to dig me then
to update in a journal that does not provide me with any. Only so far
the wounds look more like bug bites or blemish marks then battle
wounds. I went surfing the other day with Nicole and Heather and got my
balls frozen off. Any hope of getting a girl knocked up has now
disappeared because of this. I let Nicole use my wetsuit… Bitch. It
didn’t fit anyways, well I think it didn’t. Instead I had to go in
layers of boxers which didn’t help at all. It actually made it worse
because when I got out of the water I was in the cold air with cold
clothes on. The Alkaline Trio show is in three days which is pretty
sick. Then after that Reel Big Fish. This weekend is going to be
kickass and you'll all wish you were in my shoes. Dude, my parents
found out about my gun. I hid it under my bed but my dog found it...
weird man. So I don't know what's going to happen now but I think it's
going to pretty much suck. Alright this is getting boring. Peace out!

Wow, I had almost completely forgotten about LJ. I don't even know why I'm updating right now, and I don't know what took me so long. Look what I got! I got my ticket to Alkaline Trio at the Avalon for June 23rd (Last Day of Schoooool) and I've got my tickets for Reel Big Fish with American Hi-Fi at the Casino for June 26th. I'm sorta disappointed I missed the last poetry reading. It's not like I didn't know about it, I just didn't go. But I wanted to unleash my acoustic version of Complicated by Avril, so you know...I didn't get to, and it sucked. My new China Boy High cymbal came in...18 inches, just like me. Bitch please, don't act like you're not impressed. I can't wait for SYMS this year, those two weeks are going to be even danker than last year. DANK, ok shut up this is serious. I'm hoping it doesn't rain today, so I can go skate...I'm getting alright, I've been working on stalls now and even though I suck at it, I think my attempts are better than nothing. I landed my nollie heelflip yesterday, finally. Yeah dude, life's pretty boring when you're just waiting, so I don't have much to update on. I'll keep ya posted. Latz.
I took you out on friday,
and we shared a milkshake at the sock hop,
When we were done we went to watch the sunset,
but it never sank as deep as my heart that I'm closing.

Right. To start, I think life is the absolute greatest thing and everyone should be grateful for it. Not like death if the absolute worst thing, but even if life sucks so much at sometimes to the point you don't want to put up with it anymore, everything will work out. I believe the happiest moment in your life is death...and not for the obvious reasons. I believe Plato was a very smart man. Music and Math make man...of course, I don't base my life like that. I don't base my life by anything. I suppose even though I have my organized moments, my life can be said to be played by ear. I try not to regret things, but I'm aware it's impossible. Sometimes I realize my mistakes when it's too late, but I know it helps me either way in the long run. I had an 1120 in 8th grade on the SAT's and I have a 128 IQ. I'm very proud of my academic abilities. I think hate is the biggest waste of time, along with regret. Of course, to regret and mourn at times is fine, but you can't spend your life wondering what could be better if you had done something different. Before you know it, life will be over. Have fun while you can, simply put. I love music and I wouldn't be the same if it was taken away from me. If it's within my power, there isn't one day where I don't play an instrument of some sort...like drums. Speaking of drums, I want them to be my life in one way or another. Building drums, I feel, is my passion. I can be happy for the rest of my life if I do that. I love the precision of it, the challenge, and the final product. The final sound you receive after everything. I work very hard at things I care about, and with things that matter atleast I work diligently as well. I like to feel accomplished. I am lazy, but can be motivated by a challenge easily. I enjoy skateboarding, even though I'm not any good at it, I find it fun learning and taking the risks involved. My friends say I'm a genious that couldn't find his way out of a paper bag. They're right. Well, maybe not on the genious part. I strive on pride, I guess. I like when I'm recognized for working hard. I have tunnel-vision sometimes, when I want something for maybe a month and then I focus on it just to realize in a month I don't want it. I guess I'm sort of impulsive. Yeah, I am. To the people who care about me, I care what you think about me. To the people who don't, I don't care either...but why can't we be friends haha? I have a very wide variety in my taste of music. I don't support our government and anyone who works against our people's attempts to maintain an sense of community and civility. I don't like to influence people and I don't like to be influenced. Sometimes I don't like my emotions. I hate myself when I'm emotionally weak, but some people know how to get to me sometimes. Even if they aren't trying...that's actually when it usually happens. I don't like to cry in public...it's random, but I can't support that. It makes me pity you and I couldn't respect myself if I did it. I don't want someone pittying me. I don't like put downs, atleast to people who do not deserve it. I'd be lying if I said I didn't make fun of people...but it's usually my friends or a person who makes fun of others to make themselves feel better. I'm a hypocrite. I'm not too worried. You have one life, live it. Smile. It helps. Trust me every once in a while. Labels, yeah they're cliche but so is saying labels are cliche. Just put it this way: In the end, labels aren't gonna matter. I listen to my parents and my older sister, they've been where I am. They know what I'm learning. They know how to help. As much as I don't like to admit it, I do sometimes build up stuff inside and let it out. Don't worry, I do it by myself, like I said, not in public. I do feel better after though. I suppose I sort of suffocate myself when I don't let it out. I believe in love and love at first sight. I think the secrets we're trying to discover about ourselves can be realized in any relationship. Relationships help you, a lot. Don't be afraid of them as much as you want to be. It's ok to get hurt. I think those mistakes I've made in the past have helped me as well. And who knows, sometimes you get the chance to fix them. That's always good. |

Ehh, I've been pretty bored lately. Not too much is happening, except I ordered my new skateboard, that will be here soon. I went to the skatepark today and yesterday, it's weird after so long. If I had never stopped skateboarding I'd be pretty good by now. But I can't wait to get started again just in time for the summer, I forgot how much fun it was. Russ was at the park today, that kid is my hero..."Oh yeah guys? Suck on this!" Ha, oh that was RICH! So after that me and Joe walked home. Joe left after we shook up a bunch of coke cans and hucked them at the pavement. I ordered a pizza, Taylor came home I started a fight with her. That was satisfying. Now I'm here. I'm actually sorta tired for once. I'm gonna sleep after this, I sorta gotta get up early, but later in the day I'm going back to the skatepark. As for school, I handed in my AP History application today. That'll be a "fun" class. As for my current classes, I'm doing fine and there are no long term projects assigned...I hate long term projects for some reason. I feel good when I have none. Oh wait, today was Isabelle's birthday, Happy Birthday to you then, Isabelle. Oh man, Thursday, I slept completely through my alarm for the two hour delay and I just went in at 11. It was great, like a 4 hour delay. But yeah, the ska band is AWESOME. We've learned Keasbey Nights and 9mm. We wrote our first song yesterday and we've half-learned a bunch of songs, especially the horn section. They just keep learning a bunch of Catch 22. Dan and Mike sound wicked good, and hopefully John Cyrus will be joining us soon. We still do not have a name to call our own. Haha, we suck at this name stuff. Oh well, we will start playing local shows at Hobbs and stuff like that. It's gonna be so much fun. Dude, not to get depressing and stuff like that, but I'm noticing a lot of people have what they call "good, steady relationships" now. They seem so perfect, it's hard to conjure how they end, right? It's just hard to think about it, that's all. As for me in that department, I have no clue where I'm going. I'm a wet match in the dark. Haha, peace out guys. |

I haven't updated in like a week, mostly because I had been at Mike's since wednesday, my parents just got home. So I guess I'll start from a couple days ago. Wednesday we had practice but who cares about that. The funny thing was when we had to start loading our stuff into the vans. I made a lame excuse to Matt that I had to take my van out fot the garage to get my drums in when in reality it would've been easier to keep it in the garage (keep in mind, my parents ARE in Florida). So I back the van out, and I didn't WANT to keep driving but I had to. So I told Matt I was gonna take it around the neighborhood, and it was hilarious. I kept swirving from side to side on the road, and there are SOOO many little kids in my neighborhood, it probably wasn't the best decision. I also found out Matt is only 24 days older than me, so he couldn't legally drive either. He's like the youngest sophomore in WHS. Anyways we ended up loading all of our stuff and later that day I brought my stuff to mike's to stay until today. I even got my own room, with a bathroom, and a tv and everything. It was pretty sick. So we basically hung out with Lisa and Alexis the whole week until Alexis had to leave for her dad's yesterday. Joey then came over. Oh yeah! Friday, talent show, was good, alright! Back to saturday, joey came over. We all just hung out and started calling random people. We got ahold of Sam and we told her to drop by so she did. I ended up being the only one to leave with her haha. It was sorta late and I needed to be back home before Mr. and Mrs. Lally got home. Sam thought I was crazy for letting her drive me around at night or at all for that matter. But we basically just got lost in Rye and it was wicked cool. It was the most random thing I had done in a while. It was just like hey Sam, pick me up, let's drive, come home. It was weird but it was pretty sick anyways. Then today I just chilled at Mike's again and my parents finally came back home and I was home before them. I was cleaning the basement and setting my drums back up. My parents have work all this week so I'm completely free...and alllooonee...so if anyone wants to makkeee plllaaannss...oh man I played DDR again on saturday...that was interesting. If anyone wants to play DDR too, call me or IM me or something...plans, anything, whatever. Yeah dude, so the ska band is starting as soon as Dan and Joey get back...basically monday, that's our first practice...and we still need a name, suggestions!!! Help!! Everyone has their parts down so we're all wicked excited. And I think Cheaper Than Goodwill has practice tomorrow. Now that the talent show is done with, we can start booking shows and writing with our new bassist. This is gonna be fun. Alright, well I'm gonna go order some Joe's Pizza cuz I am too lazy to cook my own food...plus, I live off pizza and fast food, so what else is new. Peace guys, yeyyey! |

So I stayed up late, against the doctor's order because they blame me being run down for gettig sick (which may be true), to watch American History X. It was really good. It's early, so that's all I can really say.
So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time. It's just not worth it. Derek says it's always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can't top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you'd like. 'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.' -American History X |

Catch was pretty much the sickest thing I've ever seen in my life for the fourth time. Flogging Molly was kickass too. It felt sooo good to be back at the casino finally. I even heard the ice cream man today before we left for the show. It all marks the soon to be coming to summer...oh boy, I am so excited! It sorta gives you reason to live. Yeah it's kinda sad in that sense, but I can't wait. So we were "kickin' it" with Minkus aka Pat Kays after the show, that was pretty sick. He was so hilarious. The person you see on stage is not the person you meet off stage. I got to talk to Chris again, quite briefly though lol, we were both sorta deaf. It's such a pain to talk to people during shows, huh? Except if it's people you actually WANT to listen to, I guess. I mean, if Chris kept talking to me during a show, I wouldn't care at all haha that guy is my hero. Along with Emily, she is now also my hero...because Minkus SORTA indirectly offered her oral sex. That's pretty sweet. And she SORTA hung out with the losers of the pack, me and Joey, through I'd say half the show. I wish that show never ended, god I missed the casino and the beach so much. Speaking of never ending, Catch 22 technically never "ended" their set, I mean c'mon, they didn't even play 1234 1234. They just ended with Chasing the Moon. What the ef? Yeah, I was disappointed. Oh well, I hope TBS was good too...but I KNOW it didn't beat Catch. I realized halfway through the show, that they were both Victory Records labels, just sorta a weird coincidence. Okay, my oven pizza's and leftover chinese food just beeped, so I gotta go. Peace guys. Have a WONDERFUL remainder of the night...ok, it's already Sunday, have a nice Sunday then. |

Alright, my sickness is finally leaving. I feel much better today than I have in a couple weeks, I really needed sleep I guess. This was like having a four day weekend, that's pretty cool. Catch 22 and Flogging Molly is TONIGHT BITCHES! I'm basically shootin' the breeze to kill the hours until I go. It's gonna be fun...I actually think it might be the first Catch 22 show I've ever been to without dating someone...That MIGHT say something about me, but it might not. Not like any of that should matter, who knows what it'll be like. I can't remember too many casino shows or any shows where I haven't had a girlfriend...I guess it's just a weird coincidence that this is one of the few if not the only recent show I've been to (recent meaning within like 18 months?) while single. Oh well, today I went to Guitar Center, got four pairs of sticks, because I broke my last pair of Vic Firth Rocks and I'm sick of using marching sticks on my kit. I switched to Vater, according to Chris they last longer. I'll take his word for it, either way I got four pairs for $15, they love ECP workers there. A guy working there actually was going to pick up his finshed ECP kit that night at Chris's. It was the first time I met him, and he had the finished snare with him. It was really nice for his taste, like olive greenish stain on natural birch wood (but the snare was maple), 7/8 offset lugs on the snare, wood rims (bad idea to me, he's gonna pay alot replacing rims. the ones on there were already banged up pretty bad). I'm sure he's gonna love the rest of his kit. It's a good feeling building stuff like this for people who really understand and share the same passion you do. I think that's why I want to do this for a living. Anywho, I also bought another bass drum hole, and I installed it myself...That was ALMOST a bad idea, but I pulled it out of the frying pan. It looks really good and sounds even better. It sucks Matt is in NYC this weekend, we'll have to practice when he gets back. We learned 1234 1234 by Catch 22 and Goodbye Forever by Alkaline Trio. Matt sounds PRETTY SICK on the bassline for 1234 1234, oh man it's awesome. And I remember when we had Cory, we wanted to do Goodbye Forever but I'll admit that basspart is really tough, Wes even agreed. Matt had never even heard the song, so we played it for him and printed out the tab. The first couple times through we stumbled just because we were ALL learning it. None of us were used to it, but within like 20 minutes, it really started coming together and the bass part was nothing for Matt. Things move a lot quicker and smoother now. We got back on our feet so quick, with a new mixer, new mics, new bassist, and the help of Mrs. Lally of course. The ska band should be practicing soon, Mike is still learning 9mm, but Dan sounds soooo good on Keasbey and 9mm. I can't wait and Matt and Steve are really excited. This is gonna be so cool. Anyways, the show's in a couple hours, I'll update about it later! Peace out guys. |

Alright everyone, after my long awaited hopeful trip to Providence for the Taking Back Sunday show, I am now not going...LONG LIVE CATCH 22 AND FLOGGING MOLLY...The only thing that sucks is the waste of that ticket to TBS, but Catch 22 is so worth it. Saturday, April 16th at the Hampton Ballroom, is the official kick off of ALMOST Summer, bitches. EVERYONE should go!!! Keep it thug, and represent by showing up. The casino is back! Summer is getting oh so close. |
