Red Sox are sick...that's all there is too it...except when they put a first baseman in as pitcher.

I don't really have anything to write about, I didn't go to school Friday but basically Jeff and I just chilled and didn't really go anywhere.

Today I had a track meet which was pretty pointless, but Thayer won guys and girls so I guess it was good. The thing that sucks about it is that it takes away my Saturdays so I don't really have a chance to do anything on the weekends, and same goes for Friday unless I skip it or go straight out after practice. I guess that's all there really is to say right now, since school and track basically take up most of my time.

I just got 5 tickets to DMB (on my birthday). And no, you can't have any. Unless you buy your own. Obviously I got lawn, anyone else who is going and wants to meet up there, let me know...

PLUS French field trip tomorrow, and I think I can skip school on Friday...AND I just got a guitarpro file for Me and My Bass Guitar...this is awesome

I'm thinking, this whole journal thing....it's kinda gay....I'm thinking about just getting rid of it even though I haven't even had it that long,and maybe if I feel like re-doing it some time I will. Comment with your opinion.

Alright first order or business....
There's a Yes concert in Lowell on May 15th, tickets are on sale now, anyone who wants to go leave a comment or let me know or something.

Also for DMB that's on my birthday, tickets are on sale now for that too, so seriously anyone who wants to go should let me know so we can get tickets for sure cause they're gonna sell out really fast.

Cotter, Iredale, and myself played in the lounge today after track, it was pretty interesting, except that my 12 string guitar skills are limited (understatement). I'm thinking of buying an acoustic bass guitar, because a stand up bass is at LEAST $3000 at the minimum....and I can get away with acoustic bass guitar (also more portable) for well under a grand. My shopping list is so intense though, the top of my purchase list is a Telecaster to slide on....and I'm also looking at like a Warwick bass, not necessarily to sell my Gibson because the Gibson's tone and pickup configuration are totally untouchable, but the Warwicks have a really funky twang kinda tone that for me is ideal for any kind of slapping/tapping stuff.... then depending on how useful I find the Warwick to be I might sell the Les Paul bass for a fretless, but that's just an idea.

sooo...what to say...school is so unbelievably boring, I can't wait till it ends...Mr. Browne makes music seem like its a fuckin chore. Track, also a waste of time.

On a lighter note, it seems like me, Cotter, Izzy, Iredale, and Bill have some sort of a band thing going, and Justin Trask is a steady supply of nasty lyrics.We're gonna start off as a purely acoustic thing with emo-ish lyrics (mostly to attract the ladies), but it won't be too long before we really start rocking. Just a side note, Cotter's actually a lot better at guitar than people give him credit for, I was actually a little surprised myself he's better than I expected.

Pretty soon, like within a few weeks... I'm gonna buy a Tele, mostly for slide. So I guess I'll let you all know how that goes.

Saturday I have a surprise for Britt, it's gonna be off the hook.

Awesome night, but remind me never to say anything overly personal especially about sex in this stupid journal ever again.

Well let's see...school this week, wow it sucks so much. Matt Unger said we only have like 35 classes left though, I'm not sure if thats true or not but 35 isn't too bad is it?

Track, what a huge waste of time. Carlson doens't know what the fuck he's doin....he just gets out there with a shot put in his hand and he's like "weeeelll, let's do that again!" and of course "...does everybody understand?", and the one and only "For all intents and purposes..." Such a douche bag.


On the bright side, this Sunday Brittney is coming over...of course that'll be a good time... ;)

It's crazy how the first week of vacation can be so good, but then the second week can suck so much...now I'm pretty sick and I haven't done anything this whole weekend. BUT....now that I have Guitar Pro 4 I'm cranking out songs like whoa, and finally recording all those bass riffs that I have....so Guitar Pro has basically been my whole life this weekend haha...oh god back to school tomorrow....shoot me

How can I sum up the past few days. . .

Attitash was okay, Wildcat was sweet, didn't get to do Tuckerman Ravine because it's prime avalanche time

I got NO sleep at all, I am really really close to killing my brother.

I can't stand being in this room so I'm leaving, bye.

Last night I saw Starsky and Hutch with Britt, I thought at first it was gonna be incredibly retarded but it turned out to be pretty funny. Predictable, but still funny. Today at 12 I'm leaving for New Hampshire, and I'll be home sometime Friday...sweet, a family vacation...

Whoa today was so messed up. I woke up at 9am and my brother and his little friend were playing video games in my room...there's really nothing cooler than waking up and finding out the little neighborhood kids are in your room before you even have a fuckin pair of pants on.

Jeff and I went up to Mockingbird Music, there's a pretty nice sounding jazz bass there for only $390, maybe I can pick that up so I have a bass to keep at school. Plus they had this Ibanez delay pedal there for $79, not too bad and I REALLY want a delay pedal...then I could be like Jaco Pastorius in "Slang". Tomorrow I'm gonna go up there and see what I can get for a trade-in on my classical and 12 string guitars.

After that, Jeff somehow managed to lose his retainer when he had it in the same pocket as some trash that he tossed on the ground. We call it the "snaggletoof" cause it's this plastic retainer with this fucked up fake tooth on it to fill in where he's missing a tooth...so we call it the snaggletoof. We looked around for the thing for like a half an hour, oh well hes probably in some deep shit, but we couldn't stop laughing at how fucked up the whole situation was....us runnin around the town looking for a snaggletoof while people drivin by in cars were wondering what the hell we were doing. Alright so that's my weird story for the day...

I don't think I have plans for tonight...but that could change, hopefully.

I'm stoked, there's a DMB concert on my birthday right here in the Tweeter Center. I was hoping to take my first solo in a plane that day but whatever, I can do it the next day...anyone wanna go with me?

Today owned. I was at Karen's with Cotter and of course Britt...and Revenge of the Nerds is definitely funny shit, I think I'm gonna go buy it. Also that Irish dude on comedy central...I forget his name, but he was hilarious. Plus I'm really excited cause it seems like I'm talking to tons of people I haven't heard from in a long time. Nothing much else to say, maybe I'll see Britt again before going to NH on Monday?

p.s. - Kerri Ruta is a funny motherfucker.

Tonite owned. I went over to Britt's...first we watched the Exorcist upstairs and her mom was basically there the whole time so I guess you could say we watched the Exorcist with her mom....I don't get scared by movies, but I hadn't seen the Exorcist and expected it to at least be somewhat freaky, but it really wasn't, kinda dissapointing. So after that we went downstairs...lets just say I'll skip those details...then her dad brought us tacos from Taco Bell. We ate those and talked to her mom more, that may sound kinda gay but seriously her mom is the woman she cracks me up. After that we went back downstairs...skip details again...then came back up to watch American Idol, I think alot of the people on that show suck...not that I can sing any better, but they just aren't that good. Britt's dad took me home, and so here I am. I can't wait to see her again Friday.

It seems like there's tons of people that I haven't seen in a really long time...like uhh Courtney (Ganon) Lauren (Veneziano) and of course Abby. Those are just a few but there's tons more than that, I feel kinda bad about it, but it's not like I can drive...

One last thing, I'm not sure if everyone knows who Kmo is who commented on my last journal...Kmo = God. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. And also as Cotter said he can outrun outbench and outlay the rest of our sorry asses...we all should take an example from him. Sorry ladies, he's off the market.

Anyways, this night has been really weird for me. I think it all started this morning when I was like hmm....wonder what happened to that girl Alyssa Edwards? Random, yeah, but I decided to look into it....turns out shes a huge ho now, go figure...so that just made me think alot...and ask weird questions like where did she go wrong, and stuff like that. Plus I've been listening to this same song over and over again. Why do I think about shit like that?

Then I watched Lost in Translation, I couldn't even finish it because it was making my night even crazyer, now I regret not finishing it cause I wanna know what happened....oh well. So then afterwards I started thinking....

In Mansfield, there's like a huge iron curtain shutting me out of there, I mean yeah I still see some people but if I go to a football game or something, I'll get weird looks, some people will recognize me and say nothing, some say hi, some have no idea who I am. I just think it's kinda strange that even though I live there it's like I "don't count" cause I'm not there.

Then in Thayer, being so far away from everyone else who goes there, with the exception of Cotter and Ashley Pandit... it makes it pretty difficult for me to see anyone there outside of school, and I can't drive, and my parents have all the time in the world but there's no way they will do any significant driving...it just sucks, maybe it'll change when I can drive.

So that leaves me with a bunch of friends scattered around all across the state, but it doesn't really give me a solid group or anything, and if someone asked me to pick out who my best friends are, then I'd have a really hard time figuring it out. Sure it sucks, well, thats life I guess.

I get the feeling that I'll probably get a bunch of comments from people who are like " OH I'M YOUR FRIEND!" but they really aren't my friend, so it's pointless...so if you're one of those people, just shut the hell up and don't bother.

Wow, I just wrote a LOT... well, then I guess that leaves a lot to comment on. Sorry about any emo-ness in this entry, none was intended at all.

Maybe it's just me, but this week of spring break is kind of boring. Mostly everyone else is in school, and I'm glad I'm not at school, but sitting here in my house is getting boring. I did go to the gym though, but thats only gonna take up like 1-2 hours a day. But on the positive side I think either tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going over Britts, so that's gonna be good. Well since I'm so bored I think I'll go play bass....

Well my computer had a virus, so I had to totally re-install windows and lost pretty much everything that was on here. That includes any pictures I had of friends, which sucks....so if anyone has pictures that they would like to send me they would be greatly appreciated....uhh I guess thats it, I probably won't update this for a while because I'm trying to get the 900 and change songs back on Kazaa that I lost.

So last night was pretty sweet. Cotter came to my house after school, then Britt and Karen came over. We watched Spaceballs, pretty sweet. AND we got chinese food, and my mom was drunk so that was always good for a few laughs. Cotter had to leave at 830, so Britt and Karen left at about 9. Overall it was tons of fun.

Now this morning Jeff came over at like 10, my dad's still doing construction upstairs....hopefully my room will be done sometime soon.

I guess thats all for now, I don't have plans for tonight so anyone who wants to do anything . . .

uh oh... look who just got a livejournal... yeahhh I decided to hop on the bandwagon seeing as its like "the thing" all the cool kids do. so here it is, I'm not sure why everyone said I should get one, I didn't know i was so interesting. I'm stoked though because now I can look at all those "friends only" journals that have been pissing me off for so long. I guess thats all for now, peace.

Oh and of course huge props to Casey for making this thing because there's no way in hell I could figure it out for myself.
