May 10, 2004 Subject: i dont really do this anymore Update: like i said, i dont really do this anymore. i lost interest basically. everything that i put in here everyone already hears about, so why bother. anyway, ill probably move back to my old, private journal for the summer and all that good stuff. so lets get a last review thing here. junior year has been both long and short. it brought great times, and some down times, but all in all was a great year for me. its left we wishing for this ummer to come and never end however. this is our last summer break as high schoolers. well most of us anyway. next year our summer is robbed by a few weeks, but im sure we will make the most of it. anyway...eh, im kind of at a loss of words, dont know what to say really. em, i will keep the cd reviews up, and ill let ya know when i add them. there will be 3 coming whenever i feel like it, which will be avenged sevenfold, name taken, and northstar. all great cds. my favorite of the 3 is avenged sevenfold. em may 18th is a big day for music. and june 8th, and june 29th. im too lazy to say all the cds coming out, but lets say some my chemical romance and some new midtown (its about time) are on their way. july looks to be promising, with new taking back sunday, a very hopeful steel train release, and maybe finch, who i grow more disgusted with every day i read their studio diary. if the new cd sucks, screw them man. like to extend a congrats to eric and a happy birthday, he got his licence. em...yeah...going to the beach tomorrow, im debating bringing the body board....waves are going to be chest high. we'll see. em. prom is friday, cant believe i just brought it up, but its friday. it wont be as bad as i make it out to be, which is alright, but im sure the after prom is when most of the fun will be had. ap history, and its 2 year journey, is now over. the ap test was friday. dont really know how i did, didnt do amazing, thats for sure. but yeah, we'll see in july. baby sister is here, she seems to like me a lot, which is weird, but w/e. she cries a little too early in the mroning on weekends for my liking, but im sure it wont last forever. and if it does, expect me to ask anyone of you for a room for a couple nights during the summer, just so i can sleep. anyway, might work with theresa over at a camp this summer. will call and check soon. em, yeah. so em, trying to thing of more things to ramble about, but cant really. im trying to think of a goodbye song for the journal, but the one im thinking of kinda is weird, its a Count The Stars song in which the first line is "this is not the end, we've only just begun" or something like that. maybe ill go look that up now, cause it is true. haha i got the words right, i am a beast, havent heard that cd since august, but i nailed it. so that will be the last song here. alright guys, i guess that is all. peace and holla at ya, one last time.

April 19, 2004 Subject: skate and surf. Update: last 3 days have been skate and surf. before i hit that, i have to note that my sister now likes me cause evrytime i walk by her, she smiles and laughs and seems happy, as opposed to the first day when she cried, lol. alright, so to skate and surf update. Friday: got home from school, left here at 3:30ish. got there to find a massive line. skipped most of it due to kristen. so that was cool. the first band to see was days away at 6:45, we just hugna round and shit before htat, saw some bad bands, including the worst band of all time "Chronic Future" their name doesnt lie, they have no future cause they really were that bad. saw the funniest band ever in van stoen at the arcade stage. it was amazing. though the music was terrible, it was great. days away let me down. i couldnt hear a damn word they sung. and he danced like a moron. *sigh* after days away, we went to see Andrew WK. he was insane as always, just not as good as last year. after that, went in the crowd for coheed!!!! and man, they were amazing. the crowd was fun, the set, though short, was great. they played basically everything i wanted to hear. and they hit every note. they gave the best perforamce for quality of the festival. then came on the starting line...who...sucked. plain and simple. they sucked in every way. the set was bad, they sounded terrible, played too fast and shit. kenny dyied his hair black so now he looks like every emo guy out there. the fans WERE GAY AS HELL. TSL set a trend of horrible drive-thru bands to play the festival accompanied by their terrible fans which makes me hate each band on that label (except rx bandits, steel train, nfg, and finch is ok too, we'll also keep jenoah around too) even more. OH, a note, i broke up a fight in the starting line "pit." fucking moshing to the starting line. anyway, ill tell the story of the "fight" to you guys persoanlly if you ask me. next was brand new. i hadnt eaten anything all day, and we were standing for about 4 hours by now. horrible. but we ventured into the brand new crowd anyway. let me say this, brand new played the best set of anywone who played skate and surf...though they were out performed by a couple bands, they were amazing. we got out of the crowd after 45 minutes because i woulda pasted out and died if we didnt. kell wanted out to too cause it had been a long day. anyway, they closed with, sic transit i think. no encore song...weird. favorite song of the day was performed by coheed- blood red summer. closely behind was mixed tape and i will play my game beneath the spin light by brand new. got homeat 1. yikes. Saturday: woke up at 10ish 11ish, i forget, thatll be a trend for this post.."i forget"...left at like...shit. em like 1:30? got there at 2, got in at 3? i dont know. met up with jamie and her friend and sat for avenged sevnfold. they were awesome, only 4 songs though, but they were long. and they played the songs i woulda picked too. good shit, got a shirt from them, it is scary and i love it. "haunting since 6661" anyway, then we got merch and shizzle, walked around. came back, sat for hazen street, who sucked...also got our "most ghetto" performance. followed by senses fail, who alsop sucked. and also who got way too much respect from the packed as hell crowd for another very overrated drive-thru band. *shakes head* then came on who i was most looking forward to seeing out of any band at skate and surf....my chemical romance. kelly and i left jamie and her friend in their seats to go itno the crowd. and we got way deep in that crowd, we were really really close, and it was a good thing too, ill explain later. anyway, i was pumped for this, and wa spraying they didnt suck. (never saw them live, thats why i wanted to see em so much) so anyway, they came out and played such an amazing set, kelly and i both agree they gave the best voerall performance at skate and surf. they opened with our lady or sorrows, and played other songs such as headfirst for halos, honey this mirror isnt big enough for the both of us, closed with vampires will never hurt you (amazing) and some new songs. and they kicked complete ass. best crowd, the entire floor was a mosh pit, except where we were since we were so close. and its a good thing, because the pit was huge and it looked insane. anyway, after that we sat down and drank and ate (no more throwing up for me, i wanted to keep hydrated and fed) sat for midtown, who wast as good as i expected, but played a good set. next up was the award ceremony, which everyone knew would be a surprise band and we were all(save a few) were hoping for thursday. instead, we got fucking joan jett. and she sucked. all i remmeber is "yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah...yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah" yikes. bullet to my head please. then came on story of the year...another drive-thru band! well i dont like their music, at all. but! they gave the best performance energy wise out fo anyone. they were insane, and it was amazing to watch. respect goes out to story of the year...but i still dotn like their music. crowd was huge, as always for a srive-thru band. after that, we all went down for taking back sunday, and also katie cook joined us since ehr firends didnt seem interested ing oign down for it. dont know why. anyway, taking back sunday was as good as they always are...this was my 4th time seeing them, and they were great as usual. the corwd was crazy, ever 2 seconds there was 2 or 3 crowd surders going over your head, they were piled on eachother. it was crazy. we got out of the crowd with like a song to go since jamies friend had the same thing happen to ehr i had happen to me the night before. didnt hear you know how i do, but its all good, seen em 3 times previosuly so i didnt mind. and i knew how she felt, and it sucks ass. drove home, took the wrong way, ha, had fun doing it though. got in at 12:45. yikes again. Sunday: church in morning, then food then left. stood online for 2 fuckign hours, missing armor for sleep. very dissapointed....most missed band goes to armor for sleep. got in, saw boyrs night out, who wasnt too bad. ate and stuff while watching. then saw new direxion. ehhhh, they need to end their band, their new sound blows. then went out to what we thought would be fall otu boy. apperntly there was afire, and everyone was in the arcade area, and we stood there for awhile with stupid fans waiting for a static lullaby to come back on. anyway, they ended, we got closer. watched fall out boy with dumb ass fans. they werent as bad as i thought theyd be live though, and their set was pretty good. but, the fans were stupid. they tied with starting line for stupiest crowd. then we went to mcdonalds. came back, saw less than jake who owned, but go no respect by the people....fans were stupid this year. anyway, sat for the bouncing soulds, they didnt get enough respect either. then came the most overrated band ever, something corporate, which...surprise! is a drive-thru band. they crowd response for them was insane for some reason. i didnt enjoy them at all, except konstantine, which is a good song. played blackjack for about 25 minutes of their set. went down for the last song to get into yellowcards crowd. the dumbass fans were moshing to soco and crowd surfing to them also. i dont get it. well those fans staed for yellowcard too,a s we were stcuk behind real annoying people, and infront as well. they came on, i had no energy to jump ro do anything. i just stood there and bobbed my head and sang. people made me launch them up for crowd surfing for the first time all weekend, which sucked as i cant lift my hands over my head anymore. not cause of those 2 crowd surfers, but because of the 3 days of punishment and abuse i took over a span of like 50 some hours. so we left when they had 2 songs to go. beat the traffic. got in at 12:15 or so. went to bed, got up at 11:30 cause i cut school...parents arent happy about that. at all. oh well, screw em. now im doing my research paper, or not doing my research paper....it sucks i cant do it. alright imd oen, later.

Update: alright, been awhile again. i dont update too much anymore. oh well. so this was a long week again. school is horrible, it needs to end and it needs to be summer. speaking of summer....actually ill get to that, i have to explain something first. parents are going to china this coming friday. for 2 weeks. which means, no paretns at home for the duration of spring break. score. so, back to the summer, since they will be gone, next friday or that monday, not sure which, neil and i are going surfing. yeah, you heard me. we are going in the 40 degree water armed with wetsuits (mine is full, his is a spring suit, hah poor bastard) and we will be riding the waves. so that will kick complete utter ass because i need this. this might rejuvinate my energy and sanity meter to almost full. that would be awesome, i need both to be filled up a little since ive been riding fumes for the past month or so. anyway, this week was slow, monday was nothing i remember. tuesday was nothing i could remember except after school, took sharins test, then i huing out with kevwo at the school for like an hour waiting for the late bus. that was cool. then when i got home, mom informed me that Chelse, my aunt mary's dog and also the sister to our old dog Ginger, was put to sleep that day because she had gotten worse from the cnacer that was recently found. so that was a dark spot to an already bad few days. i had known that dog since i was 4. she would have been 13 on June 16th. So, to say goodbye, i went to aunt mary's to help bury her in their backyard. took us about an hour to get everything done. i teared up a little, it was sad. wednesday was a complete waste, since it was a half day. went to kells after school till 5. then went home, called out of work, got marty and went to see Mr. HHS. it was good, pretty funny. a few people want me to do it next year, but i dont think i want to. we'll see, i like to make a fool out of myself, so ill consider it. depends on my mood at the time next year. anyway, i brought home theresa, and marty was lost cause he went somewhere at intermission. thursday was a long and antaginizing day. skipped the track meet. lol, i think im just gonna quit track. after work, went for ice cream with jessy and brian. friday- another long day of school. got home, layed around till 5 something, then got my hair cut. dropped off andrews b-day money. came home, ate, left for kells. stayed till 10:30, got some starbucks on the way home, then home to bed. didnt get good sleep like i usually dont after being at kells for the night. up at 10. today is a bday party for cousin joey. thats from 3 to 7. after that im going somewhere with neil. need to talk to him soon. tomorrow, not sure what im doing yet. but it will be something. not much homework this weekend, unlike last weekend, which is a good thing. alright, so that was my life for the past week. peace.
March 19, 2004 Subject: 3 new cd reviews (hellogoodbye, the get up kids, yellowcard) Update: as the subject says, new cd reviews, go check em out. today is a snow day. which is very good since i did none of my homework due for today. the snow we had today was the best snow ever. why? cause it did its job (got us off of school) and now its disappearing. melting away. it barely exists right now. best snow ever. now that we used all 4 snow days, its nto allowed to snow again this year. today, going to kells i think. tomorrow, bank to cash in money, then idk in the after. play w/ kelly, maybe (hoepfully) drew, and jessy i think is meeting us there. dont know about jamie white yet. em thats all, not much i needed to say, just wanted to let you know im alive i guess, peace.
March 17, 2004 Subject: happy st patricks day Update: alright, so the boycott is over. the boycott of this journal began like over a week ago. why? i made a huge update on like the 7th or w/e, all about my weekend. then when i tried to maximize the windoe, i hit the X, and it pissed me off, so i decided to say fuck it to the jounral for awhile. but im back for, now anyway. actually, im going to go eat right now, so ill start typing when i get back from eating dinner

February 19, 2004 Subject: i just realaized that a lot of my updates said they were from january, oops, wrong month. haha. Update: this update should go into the private journal, but i dont feel like going there right now, so you guys can read it. anyway, the last few days have been ok. monday work was good, i went to starbucks with jessy after work. tuesday was back to school, ruining the amazing mood i was in on monday. tuesday was a bore, people started pissing me off. i was "un-bob" like apperently. came home, had work, fucking karate. just sat there for an hour trying to do pedligs cause the chapter is fucking long as hell. well it was too loud to concentrate cause the dude had the fucking kids screaming an KEE-YAHing every 1.3 seconds and it was annoying. wenesday was pretty much the same shit, noly my mood was worse until after school. i was real tired, just dragging along like a zombie. other things pissed me off too. english sucked. ok em. after school i stopped by kells for like an hour. then had to go home and go to work for basketball. it was pretty good. dawn came and was talking to the kids. so i went off and started shooting. well i decided to dunk and slammed it in, but hung onto the rim then fell when i let go, right onto my fucking hand/arm/and ass. and they are all really sore, my entrie left side. that now goes along with my aching right arm that there is def something wrong with. drove home to TBS, sang my fucking heart out. good shit, always makes me feel better. got home, watched the O.C....let me say that i dont get one thing with that show. ryan, the main dude i guess, went through all this shit for this one girl...and when i mean shit, i mean the nastyess shit you can think of. so now that the shit os over...he cant go back to the way things were after he did all this crap just to save this girl....so naturally that makes sense. if i did all that stuff for a girl, id fucking marry her because i wouldnt go through it for no fucking reason. anyway /end oc rant. so thursday- worst day of week cause its almost weekend, but not quite yet. the day wasnt bad i was told i was more bob like today, whatever bob like is anyway. so anyway, it wasnt a bad day. until i heard that the class on the jail trip got thrown out for a dumbass reason and that hogan could be transferred to another school, and thatd suck majorly. if thats a decison they make, im writing a formal protest and im getting people to sign it and handing it to fucking durbin or whoever, cause hes not leaving howell. so i got home and tried doing english. didnt really work, had a nice convo with lysa and now theresa. but lets just say that peopels selfishness, peoples greed, and other things really piss me off, because it is not an attractive quality for anyone. that said, i wont say anymore, cause this is a public journal and people should be critizided publicly in something, such as a journal. so on that note, i hope you all have a nice fucking night, because i know the rest of mine is gonna suck. a lot. and i hope none of you have to expiernce a bad night. hmm, is there more? i kinda feel the need to go sing loudly. on the way to work, im going to blast something...i havent decided which yet, but! i have decided that whatever it is, i will no every word to the cd and im gonan fucking go insane. so if you are in ramtown or on the way to ramtown tonight, you best beware because i might lose concentration. ha just kidding, i wont kill myself guys, later.

OH i forgot, kelly came over on my birthday and gave me an awesome hoody also (haha i have more hoodies than i know what to do with now) for my birthday and i went over there last night and she gave me christmas presents. 2 AMAZING pictures of waves. one is a giantic poster of a hawaiian break. not sure if its pipe or jaws, my guess is pip because of the North west north break. jaws has a southern swell. hah, its weird how i know that. pathetic? maybe...do i care? nope. and the other picture is a small version of a wave thats like in gloomy weather and the wave is ana amazing color. THANKS VERY MUCH AGAIN GUYS, you all rule. i gave kelly my presents on monday, i cana ctually put this in here now...just in case kelly reads this and she came across it, it woulda been dumb. anyway. a CD "off by one" really hard to find took my 3 stores 2 visits to 2 of them...never heard of this band before. then i got her a candle that looked like the bottom of the ocean, it has kick ass shells in it, and it smells good. i still have to get jess her christmas present and sister kelly's. so its christmas eve. i just got up at 12:15..mwuahahahahaha gotta love break baby. in 3 hours, ill be going to church, then to Pop and Grandma's for dinner and presents with all the cousins. always fun. then come home and watch the snata clause with sisters, then bed, then tomorrow is christmas! open presents, and give out all my presents, im did a kick ass job this year if i do say so myself. i actually spent over 100 bucks alltogether on ym family this year. everyone included, ill be spending about 150+ dollars on christmas. damn hah. i like to give presents, i neevr really understood the "it is better to give than to recieve" thing before, until like freshman year. its more gratifying for me to give something to someone than to get something from them. dont get me wrong, i enjoy thoroughly getting presents, but it makes me feel better to give. then after all that and lunch...i think im going to kellys house for a few hours, if not im sitting around till 5 and then kelly is comign here. if everything goes rights, im going there and bringing her back with me at 5ish-6ish. so im happy i get to do something on christmas this year instead of sitting around all day doing nothing waiting for people to come late. thats it guys...i wont update till the 26th, MERRY CHRISTMAS...or HAPPY HOLIDAYS whichever you celebrate. mostly all fo yuo are christmas for except for rebecca, Happy Hannukah(sp?) to you. later all enjoy the days off!

EXCEPT FOR THERESA WHO FELL ASLEEP ON ME!! haha, but she did answer a question, so theresa, you are forgiven and you now owe me another masage because you fell alseep. so that was interesting, yet fun. hey i guess any practice helps, thats what i want to do with my life...not teach chem, but teach something. i find it funny that i understand chem, and not bio. weird. maybe cause last year i just didnt give a fuck. thats prolly it. hmm. then in 3rd period, 4 kids were there because they all went to jail except me who is going in january with hogan. i did Shim's algebra homework. she was loaded with homework last night and i felt bad, and i am a God at chapter 6 because it was really easy for me, and they just started that in her class, so i said ill do it. so i did. haha im taking this from her journal just to boast a little, as she said some nice things about moi...hah..."oh man, bob just offered to do my book work for algebra. i'm so glad he's one of my best friends. wow. i think i really am going to cry. out of being tired and out of bob's generosity.
bob, i love you. you're so awesome. i want to give you presents. (shim, i except money, dvds, cd's, or a video game...just though id tell ya ;-) Shark90578: hahahaha...dont worry about it Shark90578: you and me shim...we on the same level *makes hand motion* its all good and i know the motion. bob is such a great kid. every one needs a friend like him in their life. and if they don't have one, then i feel bad for them." thank you for the words of kindness shim. lunch...food, jess was sick, i felt bad. algebra- torcher sharin day...which is everyday. she hates our class. english- projects...didnt do ours yet. marketing- during the fire drill, i asked hogan to rescue me from marketing because DeBow wasnt there and i didt want to hear the same movie twice. so he got me and i went on the computers and played games. AP- em, PEDLIGS quiz...ehhhh. i had to piss really bad since lunch, so this day sucked as my bladder was going to explode the whole day. but im good now, i did make it. i want kelly to come over, but she cant because uncle keith is here banging around on our upstairs re-doing it all. bleh. and i mom wont bring me anywhere either, bleh, so im stuck here. oh well...im feeling a nap, only i want uncle keith to stop banging so i can sleep. my head hurts and a nap would do me well. so we have officially 10 days of school left until break...9 for me :-P dad doesnt think i should go back for the 23rd either so maybe ill get lucky and have a 4 day extended break...thats be awesome....wont happen, but itd be awesome. hmmmm, i think ive said it all. 3 updates in 3 days, you should all be impressed. later. UPADTE: oops i lied, only 3 updates in 4 days...shucks. that is all
December 8, 2003 Subject: real update this time Update: alrighty, time for an update. snow stopped at 3:15 on saturday, i was dressed and ready to shovel at 3:20. i was out there till like 6:10ish. it was cold. i cleaned off 3 cars and the driveway, and a sidewalk. my back hurts, well it hurt, theresa masaged it for me today in english, thank you theresa. i went to kellys that night, iw as surprised dad drive me. i think it was because i worked for 2 hours for him. marty wanted me to go sledding. mom didnt want me to go sledding. why? ill tell you all the story since not many of you know it. maybe like 4 of you. maybe less. anyway, when i was like 7 or 8...pick one...i went sledding at the library with andrew brodsky, my mom and his mom. well i met my friend mark there, and they were sledding down a fast track with a ramp and shit. well i tried it, went down head first, launched off the ramp and hit my head on the police building. got a concussion and everything. fun. so now mom is terrifyed of me going sledding...yes even now that im 16 and just about 17. shes a freak, what can i say. so she didnt want me going at night (her big thing) i didnt really wanna go anyway, i was tired and it was cold, and yea, tired and cold dont mix well with me. so i went to kellys till 10:30ish. went to bed. sunday, church, of course, then football. packers won 34-21 i believe. home and did english project. talked to kelly at night. theresa and erik told me we had a delay today, sweet, that means an extra amount of sleep. score. today, the bus never came, so i was out for 30 minutes in the cold waiting. mom brought me in at 9:10. school was a waste. we did nothing all day. hmm, thats all i think. so here i am..."dont know how to say this, only thing i know is awkward silence"...sorry, whenever i say that line, it makes me think of saves the day. "Freakish" go download it if you havent already. amazing song...amazing band in fact. no that i have been side tracked, i think im going to get going and lay down. im still tired. later

December 5, 2003 Subject: fucking snow Update: its snowing...its december 5th, and its snowing...again. last year on december 5th...it snowed. only good that came of this snow is that it got SAT's postponed for 2 weeks, thank the lord. but this snow will keep me in for tonight and most likely tomorrow because my parents wont drive me i bet, maybe. so thats all i wanted to update about, cursing off the snow. damn snow, fuck snow, go to hell instead, and cool that place down a bit. later
December 4, 2003 Subject: bored as hell Update: im really bored, so in my boredness (if thats not a word, it is now) i will be making an update about basically nothing. the last time i did this, i went on for about an hour writing about nothing. remember that entry? that was nuts. well i wont be doing that again, atleast i dont think i will be, actually tomorrow is a possibility because its going to be raining/snowing/sleeting/going crazy outside and there will be nothing to do all night on a friday. neil was gonna come over, i dont see that happening anymore though. so today, chem- notes, i actually understand it for the most part, thats creepy. health- please get me out of that class, its 45 minutes of nothing. law- another class that is 45 minutes of nothing, test tomorrow though. lunch- food, and algebra homework. algebra- easy stuff, reviewed for quiz tomorrow, yay! and yes im serious about being happy for the quiz. why? because algebra is easy as hell for me right now, and i like getting 100's and 98's on things, it boosts my self-esteem. english- we got our persuavive essays back today, i thought i did horrible on. turns out i got a 6...number grade was a 95, that made me very happy. i thought it was shit. we did some other stuff in english, that was a good class today, i had fun. fairlie ripped up his essay for some reason (it said "off topic, this would have failed the HESPA or w/e that is" yet he got a 90 on it) well ms. cavalcante told him that he needed to keep that, so we went through the entire ripped up paper, and pieced it back together with tape. it was funny, we acted like doctors in surgery. the paper made an almost full recovery, after a grueling 10 minutes in the ER. that was the accomplishment of the day. marketing was a test. think i got either a 96, 92, or 88. we'll see. AP- im not sure what we did, i think notes for the test tomorrow. and we finished that debate, well not really, we voted. then we did like 2 minutes of notes, then she let us do nothing for 20 minutes. then i went home and ate food. i have a new door to my room also. uncle keith put in new doors. i guess the new rugs come next. i love how i was suppose to get a new closet door (being as i punched a hole in the old/current one) and then while shopping for a closet door, mom went wild and is buying new doors, moldings, and new rugs.....everything EXCEPT a new closet door. funny how that worked out. lisa is home...again, that girl is never where shes suppose to be. when i got to college, im going to college and staying, assuming i get in somewhere anyway. and when im done with college, im getting a job and staying away from home...well ill be home for a short time, but hopefully not long....i want out, i want to go on with my life. there, im done with rambling for the day. you might get more tomorrow. later

November 2, 2003 Subject: just few things Update: hmm, yesterday was a good day. i went to kellys grandparents with her. it was fun, lots of good food. saw KARI (oo, 2nd shot out to kari) hadnt seen her in awhile. got home at around 11. it was a very good day. now i feel like venting about some stupid things ust for the hell of it. there needs to be a new cammanment added "thou shall not make a phone call before 10 a.m." and it should also be made a law. so a phone call woke me up at 9:30. after i pushed hard to get mom to take me to 11:30 mass, it woke me up an hour and a half early. god damnit. ok, vent 1 = completed. vent 2....i enjoy singing, even thugh i cant sing for my life. i will sing by myself or if a friend is around, maybe even a few friends, but no more. so law and commandment numero dos should read "if yu cannot sing, thou shall not sing in public, especially when you are suppose to be the chors for the entire church" im sorry, but this kid sings every sunday...in his case, he tries singing...but he is the only singer and his voice is enough to make you want to take a pen and jab it through your ear. i couldnt take it anymre, i left church with my head throbbing from his voice. vent 2= completed. and this is my last vent coming up...i think. i talked about this with shim, and she agrees, and i know kelly agrees with me, so im going to make a plead with people here. if you say the phrase "i love you" to your girlfriend/boyfriend...please, please, say it WHEN you mean it. now, you may think yu mean it failry quickly...but in all honesty, we are 16 years old. some are 17....we do not understand love, we do not understand how it feels. and we especially dont know what it means after one day, one week, and even one month. it takes a long time (like a year...atleast) to understand what love truly is. you need to go through a heck of a lot to understand it. now this isnt aimed at anybody in particular...its aimed at everybody. saying these words to eachother...yea w/e "its cute" ive heard it all, but its just dumb to say it quickly. you are only hurting yourself. if or when people our age break up, we take it hard and we say "i loved them and i thought they loved me" well, the truth is, you didnt, and they didnt. but you dont realize that, thats why break ups are taken so hard. what do you think all the bands sing about these days? wel mst of the, not all, but a lot do, sing about teen age relationships. just listen to a lot of their lyrics, heres a few bands in particular that sing about their "loves". sum41, the ataris, new found glory, GC (but do not listen to them), the movielife. basically all your pop-punk bands do. though these bands are not pop-punk, they are wannabe pop punk or just wannabe punk (cough*GC*cough). alright for my 3rd commandment and law of the day "thou shall not say 'i love you' until you truly truly mean it....and wait long enough until you truly know". alright im all done for the day, as just bit into a lollie pop and my tooth feels as if i just slammed a door shut on it. bye Music: The Used- A Box Full of Sharp Objects
November 1, 2003 Subject: halloween Update: what a long week it was. i am very burnt out from doing absolutely nothing ALL week. seriously. i did work in one class all week the rest, did nothing. eh, alright, so yesterday was halloween. marty came home with me on the bus. eric came over shortly after we got home. we went to blockbuster to get schools ou. they dint have it, and neither did the lakewood one. we got "session 9" instead. came back here, eric left to hang out with amanda before they came back. marty and i sat around, played some video games, watched a movie and awaited for people to come. dana came at 6:30, then theresa, then kelly and steph, then kelly, then eric and amanda. shim couldnt come, it made me sad. we sat around and ate for a little while. then, sat down to watch session 9. eh, it wasnt too good, so we put in the ring to scare kelly and steph. they never saw it. their reactions were priceless. hahahaha, hopefuly they got sleep last night. everyone but kelly left at 10:30, she stayed another half hour. i leaned up all the massive amounts of food laying around. went to bed at 12. today im going to kelly's grandparent's house. played some zelda, game is sweet. so last night was really fun. lots of laughs. a hell of a lot better than last year, when i sat at home on halloween doing a project for bio. sucked ass. it was nice to get most of my friends in one room together. usually that only happens in school which isnt as fun. i need to get schools out and make them all watch it....it was a reall scary movie. alright, i gotta go. later all.

October 30, 2003 Subject: tired like whoa. Update: its been a long week for me. i have had shit to do for a lot of my classes. mondy i was n a really good mood. tuesday i was tired. on tuesday, i took a chem test, thati thought was going to be on wednesday. i wound up with an 85. not bad for not studying at all. rest of the day was shit. i came home and sat around looking for motivation to tart this horror stroy i had to write for english. everyone was expecting mine to be good because we all came u with a really cool idea for it. so i didnt want to let anyone down by writing shit. so i wrote the first 7 pages of it. wednesday, i gave my story to everyone, and they said it was all really good. i actually read it aloud in ALGEBRA because sharin wanted to hear my "Skill" thats the word she used anyway. came home that day and had a few minutes to relax...i ate and drank something, thn went to work on my stroy. in all, it came out to be 17 pages. more on it later. then i sat down and did algebra. i finished at 8:30. it was a long day. this is the irst time all year i had a lot to do. so for all the people thatget hours and hours and hours of homework. i feel very sorry for you. went to bed at 10 after The O.C. i didnt really like last nights episode, but w/e OH, 24 WAS AMAZING TUESDAY NIGHT! hmm, today, woke up, barely. i stumped and almost fell down the stairs. i hit into the wall atleast 4 times walking trhough my hallway. it was bad. my eyes didnt want to open. first period, pagano wasnt there again, 2nd was gym, football...twas fun, i was QB, and i intercepted 2 passes on d. 3td passes, only 3 miss fires. it was cold as hell out(cold as hel, why do people/i say that? makes no sense, oh well) and wet...my hands = numb. 3rd period, debow was boring today. 4 was lunch. eh. 5/6 algebra. we did work, the rest of my story will be read tomorrow. i actually dont want to read it, but w/e. 7/8 english. we put our names in a hat to see who would read their story first. my name "miraculously" came out of the hat. (thank you miss cavalcante) so i read the entre 17 pages aloud. i had my friends say their parts in my story, and it came out really good. people said that my story was really good, i was happy thati didnt waste my timeon trash. im hoping to get like a 95 or something on it. ms cavalcante said to me after i was done reading "wow, who is gonna want to follow after that." made me feel good. 9/10debow was still boring. 11 ap was actually ok. i had interesting conversatios with katie and fairley (the keiller in my story) hmm, came home and played some of Zelda cause i hant played much and i needed a break from reality. im burnt out. i need that 4 day weekend next week, really badly. i have algebra to do tonight, thats about it. i wanna see CSI tonight, the previews looked good. i decided to pass on the college fair thing tonight. its a waste of time. i could get anything i get there, off the computer. itll be too crowded to get anything accomplished there anyway. w/e, im staying home and taking a nice hot shower. tomorrow is halloween...tonight is something, that mischife night or h/e you spell it. today is also 9 months with kelly. wow. hard to believe. 52 days till my licence, sweet. im done, peace.

October 27, 2003 Subject: i actually have things to update about, ooo Update: alright, so ill pick this up on saturday...i was going to go to the mall then see scary movie 3 with marty...but marty never called. eric said hed go, so eric and i ventured to the mall. we stopped in hot tpic so eric could do his daily searh for CD's. he got one, forget the band though, oh well. then we went to the dv store. too expesive for a dvd. went to funco. nothing there, all shit. went to gamestop, i got The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker...good game thus far, havent played for long, but it seems really good right now. so i came home, gave kell a call, but she wasnt home from the play yet....i watched THE YANKEES LOSE! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. then came down to say good night to the rents when i heard "you got mail" i didnt know i was online, turned out it was klly, so i talked to her for like a half hour, then went to bed. AND I FOUND OUT MARTY JACKED ME FOR A GIRL. h broke a solid code of guys. "thou shall not ditch a guy for a girl...especially when you had made previous plans with that guy" so marty...bad job buddy, bad job. so the next day i went to church, played zelda for the first time, and then went to philly for the jets/eages game. it was fun. the fans ar crazy. and hilarious. introducing the jets team the announcer goes "number 55, marvin jones" and the fans all scream "SUCKS!" that continues for the entire team...it was great. so the jets lost...i as too afraid to root for them in philly, id be killed for sure. hmm, so i got home a lot earlier than i expected, at 8:42. called kelly, then i did something...hmm, i came down and ate maybe? probabaly. then went up at 10. i was mucho tired. hmm, today, monday, i was in reallyeally good mood today, i dont really know why either, but i just was. so first period pagano was hilarious. i got an 80 on the test she said everyone got like 50's on. so i was really happy. maybe thats a reason why i was n a good mood. also the morning was fun. i get eric in the mornings now and everything, and marty was there and eric and i tortured him. he said he deserved it which he did. we didnt let up the whole day. well i did a little in AP. em, gym was boring, law i got 100 on the test, my average is a 99. woot! lunch was good, algebra was ok, test, easy. english was a little boring as we did nothing. marketing sucked. ap was boring, but ok, pedligs was easy, 1 wrong is my prediction. hmmm. and in AP kelly and i decided we should do something today. so we did, i went over there for 2 hours. it was awesome because i never get to see her on the weekdays anymore since school. but we both didnt have much work to do so we hung out for awhile...it was great. came home, ate and all. not much is doin now. halloween is going to be really cool this year. Kelly, Kelly, Stephanie, Shim, Theresa, and Marty are all coming over. this should be interesting and will most likely be a really fun time. ok im out of here. Music: 311- Beautiful Disaster
October 25, 2003 Subject: gatorade or not? Update: referring to my subject, i just poured a glas o what i thought would be gatorade, as it was in a gatorade container and it looked like gatorade, bu i foundit to be kool-aid when i took a sip...it was awesome, kool aid owns all. so im taking a break fro madden 2002 becasue 1) im really pissed off at it beause i threw 2 interceptions with a guy who threw 1 interception all season. so i got pissed off and left. and 2) i already played one game for today, im done for awhile. god damn video games. i need to buy one, i havent in a realy long time and i actually have money to buy one for once, so im thinking that i will. because im going to the mall with marty tonight. then maybe to see scary movie 3. should be cool. hanging out with the little pimp. last night i went to kelly's, and had a great time. lifted my spirits after this very long week. next week is halloween. kelly, kelly, steph, and maybe shim are coming over to watch schools out. if anyone else wants to come, just tell me. then the next day im going to kellys grandparets with her because she wants me to. this all considering i survive this next week. i have shit to doup to wazo. 1) horror story that i need to make kick ass becauseof the high expectations. 2) algebra project...oh joy. 3) ap paper..or its a DBQ this time, annoying. bleh. and god knows there will be a chem test during the week. and a law test monday. law im not worried about, why? well say i get a 0, yes a 0, on this test...my average for test grades will be a 97. hows it possible? h drops the lowest grade for tests. and on my other 5 tests my scores included 3 100's, 1 95 and 1 90. average them together and its a 97. boo-ya. but ill get a 100 on this one and drop the 90 as my low. then ill have something like a 99. mwuahahaha. what else to say, hmmmm. talked to shim yesterday for the first time in awhile, well an actual in-depth talk with shim like we had aost every day in the summer. it was a nice convo cut shor by mom who kicked me off. it was nice to talk o her, i never see her for more than 5 minutes each day because she didnt try hard enough to get in the same classes as i. ha ;-P bitch. hmmmm, i have decided that i like my private journa better than this one. i can say ANYTHING i want in there, and only 1 person really reads it, and its someone i have all the trust in the world in, so thats good. not like i blast people in that one, because i ont, i dont bash anyone...ok from time to time i do...like a certain someone i would like to chop off their head and put it up on the wall and play darts with. oo that was mean, but she is really annoying and was a real pain in the ass last year. and shes in 2 of my classes this year....*puts gun to head* so anyway, back on track....i dont remember what i was talking about, so nevermind that. game tomorrow, gam is at 4:15, contrary to my belief of a 1:02 start. s god damnit, im not gonna get home till like 12. @#$%. so on monday, everybody, im gonna to look even more dead than i usually do in school. im feeling my picks for this weeks pool. i think im gonna do well. i need money damnit, so i hope i win. hmm, no motivation for this horror story. ima go bother wuys now because her away says shes doing pre-calc project, so im gonna bother her. arent big brothers so nice? yep...later all.

October 7, 2003 Subject: bored and tired Update: updating about basical;l;y nothing, but eh, whatever. hmm, sunday i went to cape may with kelly, that was fun. i was gone all day, that was also good to get me out of the house. mm, monday, i did homework and stuff, then at night i stayed up to watch the baseball game. the red sox won, which means they won the series. now they play the yankees, and they will most likely lose to them, which sucks, but whatever. i got to bed at 12:L15 because the game didnt end till late. not running on much sleep, but im surpringly awake. today was back to school, chem sucked because it was lab day. theresa makes it fun though. law, i got a 90 on th test, lowest scroe yet, lunch was good. algebra we took a test, im feelin a 90. english was ok, we did riddles. interesting class that is. marketing, took a test, i have an 88 right now, but he may change a question that would give me a 92, that would work out. AP we did nothing, again. i played tic tac toe with marty, i won 2 games to 1. shove it marty. we saw our PEDLIGS tests today, she told me i got the highest grade with a 92. score....those 4 hours of note taking paid off. thank you God. now im here, debating a nap. naps are good, hmm, mybe later. i have to go drive with dad tonight, im really ot in the mood, but oh well. dad is leaving for atlantic city tomorrow and wont be back till friday. i get my haircut tomorrow!!!! yes! mom got me mad last night and i punched a hole in my closet doo. not good. i have a good excuse set up for when/if she sees it. not much else to say, sorry for the non-entertaining entry this time. ones like friday dont come around that much. maybe ill do it before kellys sweet 16 this saturday o give me an excuse to go late ;-) yea thats this saturday, i have to wear a tie, bleh!! damn you and your formalness crap. baseball on the rest of this week, im gonna be sleep deprived. that nap is sounding good right about now...later.

October 4, 2003 Subject: break ups suck Update: well i got bored and was checking some band websites when i went to the movielife page. they said that they all felt it was time to stop being a band. so the movielife has broken up. sucks, they were good. i wanted to see them live, but i guess that wont be happening now. oh well. shit happens. also Fairweather has broken up, they are playing for the next 5 weeks because they already booked the shows, but after that, they are finished also. and i checked drew's profile to see what new cds were coming out this week (new coheed, sweet, not like i have money, but oh well)and his profile said that NOFX and H2O may be breaking up. its just a rumor, but rumors in music tend to be true. NOFX is good, thatd be a shame...not to crazy about H20 though, so whatever. oh well. so long to: "The Movielife - September 29, 2003" aright, tonight im going to pops for the red sox game. later.

October 3, 2003 Subject: bored as hell Update: hmm, its been awhile, i didnt feel like updating during the week because i was too tired. i still am tired, but i have nothing better to do while i wait for dinner to be served.hm, this week went fast, kinda, some parts did, and other parts ent slow. it was a pretty good week. didnt do much. thursday, i did 3 hours of ap notes, tht sucked, but i needed to do it. i have some homewok to do this weekend. when i do it is yet to be decided. was going to be loser and do it tonight, but i think eric is coming over after he gets home from work. he probably wont, but oh well, ill just go to sleep as i need to catch up on the z's. tomorrow i have no idea what im doing. i was suppose to go play a baseball game with keever, but he hasnt called, so i guess he doesnt want me...his loss. hm, while on the subject of baseball, i really dont think ill be playing this spring. kirk brancato and matt watson decided to transfer back to howell for some reason that prolly sucks. who wants to come back to howell? well anyway, that pretty much takes away my starting position on varsity, and as un as JV was, im a junior now, its time to ply varsity, not fucking JV. and i think we have the possibilty of being pretty good this year. our summer team was alright, and our fall team is over .500, so we might do well. but then again, we are howell, we will find a way to suck. so saturday night i dont know what im doing. sunday theres a possibility of me doing one of 3 things. monday ill prolly do homewor or something boring and sit home all day. hopefully ill sleep until like 12. thatwould be nice. then next weekend is stacked. going to kellys after school friday, then at night to a concert (i think) with ryan and his friend lindsey, im gonna see if i can bring kelly so that i wont be the 3rd wheel. the there arent really wheels when going to a concert, but still, then saturday is my sister's (the other kelly) sweet 16. and i might be doing a baseball game that day also...i dont know. then sunday would be football. speaking of football, i am curently in 3rd place overall in the football pool for the year. i am 3 wins behind the leader. dad is currently in 2nd. any money we win, we combine and split it evenly. so i could make lots of money by the end of the season, thatd be nice (watch me get nothing) im not feelin' it this week though, it was tough, andi piked the games at 9:30 on a thursday night...my mind was fried, so i dont know how well ill do. hmmm, i think im done, danit, dnner still isnt ready, so maybe ill ramble on for a little longer...maye ill even proofread this entry so that you dont have to read over all the typos im probably making right now...but wheres the fun in that? i wont fix them and make you deal with them because im all cool like that, right sis? right. oh, i can find something to talk about, the concert id be going to is the no hollywood ending cd release show. its at birch, i hear birch i finally coming down, as they havent scheduled ny more concerts after october 18th or something like that. that sucks, birch was ok. hmm, i wanted to go see MCR on halloween, but mom wont drive us all, so thats a no go. so im going trick or treating with kelly and kelly, tha should prove to be interesting. i think ill rent schools out and terrify kelly because she was scared at darkness falls, and that was such a not scary movie at all. so that could be fun....how am i doing wth the rambling? are you bored of reading this yet? its getting kind of long...o mom needs me, ill brb
well this sucks...it apears that mom has not been making dinner for the past 2 hours she has been home, and they wanted to tell me which i would rather have: boston chicken or a sub. i said ether would do just hurry up. "i said come on come one, lets just get this over with" sorry, randm taking back sunday moment...they just told me that they are leaving and it will be a surprise of what they get. ooo making dinner fun. i just fixed a typo, your welcome. hmm, if i ramble on until dinner, this could get to be really really long...should go for it? i shall try, if i can write notes to people, i could do this....weeee they are leavin which means i get to blast music...i love tha when they leave and i can blast shit. its fun. i ave all my cds on the computer, so sometimes i like to put the cd and pu it in the stereo down here, and playit at the same time that this plays, and that makes it really loud, like shaking the house like whoa loud. but abby doesnt like that, she starts shaking and shit...no good. poo dog....seaking of abby, abby has found anew hobby, she likes to go squirrel huntin in the back yard. we have a bird feeder out there and the squirrels like to come and try and steal them, but they cant since we have a cage on the outside of it so haha stupid squirrels, but anyway, abby likes to jump on the windowsill by the computer and watch them. she stands straight up and watches them with this look on her face of complete concentration, she is the most hilarious animl i have ever come in contact with in my life...a close second is neils dog pebbles....she is crazy too. speaking of neil, i havent seen him in a long time, maybe i can hang out with him monday, thatd be cool. pretty much way off topic, but then again this whole post is off topic, so this wont be offtopic, i gota 90 on my algebra test. ill take it, i got 2 wrong out of like 20....yea thats right. i made a friend today, jasn zinger...well an aquaintance, hes relly sart, he got a 105 on the test, and i was like did you get number 4 right? he said i got em all right, it was funny at the time...and we started talking, it as cool. hmmm, oh yea, and i found out tha the girl that sits in front of me in jess tallon. or towen, or something to that effect, i think most of you know of whom i speak...god i gotta get lord of he rings, hah sorry but their is a line that goes "you know of what i speak" and i just changed it a little...the reason i bring up her is because i somehow was IMed by her s/n and it told me she has liked me for awhile...now i never have spoken a word to her...or maybe i have, i just didnt know it, hell i had a conversatio wth her in the halway today when i was walking to my locker with her, and i didnt even know who she is...yea thats bad, i actually thought it was a sophmore, sorry jess. speaking of a jess, i wanted to go to jess freeds field hockeygame today, but something happened with my aunt karen last night, and my mom had to go over t her house ad do something. note that i am on song 9 of 10 o the taking back sunday CD, i started at numero uno when i started this etr, so thats over 30 minutes of typign to you. you all shouldappreciate this if your still reading, whch most of you prolly quit once i left to talk to mom anddad....but then again some of you might be reading this late at night with nothing to do....if you are reading this late at night, i think you should go to sleep, because sleep is much mroe important than readig about basically nothing, so go to bed, this will be here when you wake up...ill even mark the spot for you with funny word....and ill even bold it and italize it for you because im a html genuis, not really, but i know basically what im doing....the funny word is: cup. haha ryan...i had a convo with ryan once about funny words an that came up...think about it it is funny. ok now you haveyour bookmark, so go to bed. night night...ill continue, a few lines down, weeeeee

September 28, 2003 Subject: concert Update: last night was the drive-trhu invasion concert. playing, in order, was the early november, allister, senses fail, homegrown, and headlining was the starting line. went t kellys a little before we left. got to roseland at like 6:00 or so. waitewd in line for about 50 minutes and got in too see the early november...who sucked. their music is very plain. boring crowd also. allister was up next, they played everything i knew. ok crowd, got in he pit twice, once because i was pushed in for some reason, so i decided, why not mosh while im in here, so did for a little while, then go tired of it nd went to edge and threw people back in, i like tat better. allister was good live. next was senses fail, who played a vry good live show. they were fun to watch, the lead singer went nuts when he screamed. crwod was cool, but we werent to far in it because it was break time. next was homegrown, we got up far for them. they let me down. song selection could have been better, they played mostly stuff from the kings of pop cd, i like their old one better. oh well, they closed with "kiss me, diss me" which was an awesome time as the whole crowd went crazy. they also played give it up, i love that song. next was the starting line, s was my ....3rd time seeing them. nothing will beat the performance they gave at skate and surf. enegry at THAT concert was extremely high. crowd surfers like crazy, like there were 4 or 5 every 30 seconds. this crowd was stupid, we got knocked down at one point because i dont even know why. hmm. song selection was good, heard some new stuff from the new album due out in november. all sounded good. they played an acustic song from their EP, it was good. hot as hell in there, but didnt come close to the TBS concert from last week. best song was best of me, we al sang, it was good. during the slow part of the song (idiot girls) i got tapped on the shoulder by 2 girls that wanted to crow surf. i said ok, letsgo. well instead of using m as a spring board like they were suppose to, they put all their weight onto my hands, leaving my arms dying today. so itapped by a guy who wanted up, i did him also, he was smarter. all i have to say is, why me? im too skinny for that shit. gues its cause im tall. alrightim done. so overall, it was an ok concert. wasnt that good, but it was ok. TBS and STD blew it out of the water though. next concert is in a month, My Chemical Romance, on halloween. ok later. Music: Senses Fail- Stephan
September 27, 2003 Subject: underworld Update: hmm what to say, last time i updated was wednesday. thursday was a shortened day schedule because of the pep rally, which was dumb as hell. im suprised the cheerleaders can spell, but then again, they spelt the word score so im not all that surprised. the football team did some clapping thing, then they like did this stretch thing and went "uhh!" hmmm. interesting. kelly was back in school, which was a good thing. she was sick, poor baby. em, friday, school was alright. test in chem, i got a 100...i studied for once, for like 2 hours. gym, ran the mile, i got 6:44, which isnt bad considering i havent ran at all since january. i think my best was 6:15 or 6:12 in winter track, i dont remember which. got a 100 on the english vocab quiz, im a good guesser. at night, i talked to ryan, and we wanted to hang out, and marty and i wanted to hang out, so Ryan, Marty, and i all went to the mall at like 8:20, ate some food (mmm frosty and fries = heaven) went and got marty shoes, and then ryan bought candy at CVS or w/e that store is. then we walked to the movies to see Underworld. It was really good i thought. i wasnt expecting that much action because everyone said it was basically plot. but the movie had its fair share of action in it. and it was a good, deep story. confusing at times, like the Matrix, but easier to follow then the Matrix. good movie, i recommend it. got back home around 12, watched some of jaws, then decided sleep would be the best thing to do. it was cool to see ryan, havent seen him since we saw lotr: ttt in january. kid had me laughng all night. a random thing, we saw britt there. i didnt notice her cause 1) i dont remember what she looks like and 2) she pissed me off because she thinks she knows everything about my life, so i blocked her, and dont intend to unblock her because i just dont want to deal with her shit anymore. i just dont give a fuck about it. jeff was right about her. hmm, so thats all. today is the concert in NY. i think im going to kellys at 1, not sure though, she hasnt called me yet. i want to wish eriC and his band (The Eyes Divide) the best of luck today for the performance at prince of peace. kick some major ass you guys, you guys are amazing, so kick ass. everyone go see the show.

September 21, 2003 Subject: not much Update: footballs at had time,so im making an entry to pass the time. jets are tied with new england...damn jets, i picked the patriots. em yesterday kelly came over for awhile. marty couldnt come to the game last night because he had to go out to eat. so kelly an i just went....and it was only us there, surprisngly. theresa stopped by us for a little while then left probably because of rebel yell. eric came, talked to him for a little while also. it was way buggy out last night. so we stayed until halftime to see kelly do the baton thing. way to go twirling girl. went back to kell's until 10:30. had an awesome time as al;ways, then came home and did some stuff online before going to bed. church this morning. going to pops soon to watch the packers win. stumpled apon a music site with a message bord and some guy asked why Brand New and Taking Back Sunday hate eachother. well i guess this kid was a step behind as those 2 bands are close again. maybe some of you know the story, but for those that dont...there ws some girl trouble between the 2 bands a while back and i dont remember who slept with whose girl or whatever, but it resulted in them getting pissed at eachother. natural i guess. well anyway...if you ever wondered why brand new has "Seventy Times Seven" and why Taking Back Sunday has "There's No 'I' In Team" you got your answer. just listen to the lyrics an you'll understand. this is why when brand new did their set at warped tour and stopped in the middle of "Seventy Times Seven" to do a mini-cover of "There's no 'I' in Team", it was so amazing. not only because t was awesome, but because it had meaning behind it. alright, that gave me something to ramble on about to make the entry longer. enjoy, im out.

September 20, 2003 Subject: concert Update: Ok, first things first. Yesterday was September 19th, and it was also Neil’s 15th birthday and Jess’ 16th birthday. Happy Birthday you two. Well “due to inclement weather” school was cancelled. I never knew that inclement meant sunny. It was a beautiful day out. Oh well. Got some extra sleep, it was great. 3 day weekend, woo-hoo. I went to Kelly’s at around 1:30. I drove to Neil’s to drop off a present first though, where my mom and aunt deb talked for about a year or so. At around 5, we left to get jess for the concert. Doors were suppose to open at 6:30, I think we got in there at around 7. Moneen didn’t come on until about 8. So ill tell you how it was. Moneen- they had the worst crowd I have ever been in, in my life. They would start a pit, but no one would go in. they all just stood there like “a-duh.” I have heard 2 songs from Moneen before, and thought they were good. But I thought that they sucked last night. Nothing special at all. Plus I really wanted to see Taking Back Sunday, who was coming on next. Taking Back Sunday- well we started out up pretty damn close to the stage. But the most boring crowd turned into the stupidest crowd I have ever been in. it was packed to capacity, but yet they all decided to push their way to the front. It was like pushing a brick wall…idiots. So we got out of the crowd and waited till the stupidity stopped. Taking Back Sunday came on and opened with “You Know How I Do.” We inched back into the crowd. Then they played “Bike Scene” It didn’t take too long for the whole floor to become a massive pit. They played a new song next, which was pretty good. During that song, a little kid tapped me on my shoulder and asked me to launch him up so he could crowd surf. So I grabbed another guy and we helped him up. I went to go back with Kelly and jess but then another guy asked for help up. So we launched him up to, and I returned. The bastards left a foot mark on my shorts, haha, oh well. I think for next weekends concert ill go crowd surfing, it looks like it could be fun, unless you fall and break your neck that is, eh, ill try anything once….well not anything, but you got my drift. Then they played “Cute Without the ‘E’ (cut from the team)” awesome pit for this one. I was going to go in, but I thought better of it. Again, maybe next week for that. Don’t really remember what came on next, I think “Great Romances of the 20th Century.” Yea, that’s it. Then another new song, followed by another new song. Then they played “Ghost Man on Third” and “You’re So Last Summer.” Then they played their last new song, that was amazing, by far my favorite of the new ones. They then played “Timberwolves at New Jersey” and closed with, they finally played it, “There’s No ‘I’ in Team” (they didn’t play that at Warped Tour because that was John’s song, one of the members that left.) It sounded just the same as if John was still playing. Taking Back Sunday was amazing, they always are. This was my third time seeing them, I think, and my favorite seeing them because we were actually in the crowd this time (we ended up pretty much in the middle of the crowd because of all the pushing and pits opening.) First time I saw them was Surf and Skate; we didn’t go in that crowd because we were in the Finch crowd right before that, and that crowd was insane. So we took a break. At Warped we didn’t go in the crowd because we were in the Less Than Jake crow before that and I doubt Kari wanted to go back in, so we stayed out for that performance also. This crowd was probably the most fun I have been in. It was extremely, extremely, extremely hot in there though. We came out of the crowd and it literally looked as if we came out of the ocean, no joke. It probably beat the Finch crowd for most hot. The crowd was a lot of fun. Saves the Day was next. Saves The Day- Well we got out of the main stage area to get water because of what I stated before. I drank 2 waters, I needed it; I sweat more than anyone. And I couldn’t talk for shit because my throat was spent from singing, or trying to sing in my case, but hah, whatever. I gave a girl a dollar for water since she only had 2 dollars and she looked hot (not like “she is hot” more like “she looks hot and needs water” kind of hot.) We went back in and got seats because Kelly and Jess didn’t want to go in the crowd. I was pretty tired too, so whatever. The crowd didn’t look like much fun from the seats anyway. Saves The Day was really good. They got right down to business, sang many songs in a row. And they didn’t talk much at all, which is a plus. They played a long set, they have a lot of material so they can do so. Not sure what they opened with, but I knew the next song was “See You.” Then they played “Certain Tragedy” which was 1 of 3 songs I wanted to hear from them. They played a few other songs I knew including “Rocks Tonic Juice Magic” and “You Vandal” and the new song “Anywhere With You.” We started to leave as the set was winding down because we didn’t want to get caught in the massive crowd. We looked at shirts, nothing special; I need CDs anyway, so I didn’t get anything. They played “Freakish”, song number 2 I wanted to hear. We left after that to beat the crowd. The only song I didn’t hear that I would have liked was “Ups and Downs,” I don’t think that song is on any of their CDs so it probably isn’t that well known.
So the concert was pretty damn awesome. I still think that the Saturday show at Skate and Surf was the best because Finch and Taking Back Sunday were there. Taking Back Sunday was playing with Saosin and My Chemical Romance the day before this concert. I wish that was the line-up we saw instead of this one, but this one was awesome. We all slept for a little while on the way home. Next weeks concert is in New York and the bands playing are drive-tru bands; Allister, Homegrown (second time), The Starting Line (my 3rd time seeing these guys as well,) The Early November (never heard them before,) and Senses Fail (haven’t seen them either.) It should be an amazing concert. I think Finch should just magically appear because it is Drive-Thru. It wont happen though, they aren’t touring, so I suspect the are working on new songs and the new record or whatever. Ok, I’m out, later. Music: Allister- Scratch
