So let's see. Nothing much has been up with me lately. I've been having a fun time here for the most part. Trying to not over induldge in the pleasures of food either lol. I've been kinda slacking in the working out department but I'm also playing broomball which is wicked cool. I'm hoping to get into the townhouses for next semester. only one more week for people to sign up so im keeping my fingers crossed. Let's see what else. nothing really has changed. I'm still doing physics.....jeez I hate waves lol. We're currently learning about how waves interact and it's musically related so it's kinda cool. As a band we're still attempting to release the album soon. Over the next break some of my time will be devoted to working on that. The rest of the time will go to friends, family and working. Ya kno, I've found myself liking just hanging around my family more and more all the time. It's sorta like hanging out with friends....but not quite lol. I can only wonder how close we'll be as a family when we're that much older. Well we'll see.
Time seems to fly. in just little over a half of a year I'll be 21 and I only have about 3 to 4 years left of school left. That may sound like a lot but it really isn't. (That's including graduate school). There are so many things I want to get done in my life I just can't wait to get out there and get started. I've made some good friends here at fredonia and I imagine things will continue to get better over time. The possibility of the townhouse is sweet. I'll be able to cook, which is something i miss, and I'll be giving myself better healthier meals than I could ever get at the dining hall.....unless i wear to eat only salad lol. But yea, plus the places are reeeaallly nice. Big kitchen, decent sized common room. Yea it's sweet.
on a side note I need to chop off this beard soon.....soon

"Story in a dream" by Steel Train |
] |
I was walking home from Brian's room tonight and I was thinking to myself about all the things I'm doing now all of a sudden. I'm going to class every day. I'm working out at least 4 times a week. I'm doing my homework ahead of time. I'm doing so many things that I just never did before. I'm trying to eat healthy. I'm getting up at the same time every day. I'm going to bed a a decent time. Seems so weird that I just automically started doing things this way. Oh well. It's all for the good I guess. Alright well I have to get to bed. I'm pooped. Night everyone

Tonight I played with Nick, Vic, and Matt as Ghost Tales. It was one of the best experiences in music I've ever had. I can't wait to go on tour, record and play more with this band. I'm super psyched about this. Not many people I knew showed up but we will have a few more gigs locally coming up in july. One at waterstreet, One at a park....it will be a a day event with a bbq and a fun games and whatnot. And then there will be one more possibly at the bug jar. I'll notify you later of these events.
After an amazing show Vic led Nick and me to his girlfriend's house where we swam, talked, and had pizza. Audrey, Vic's girlfriend is real nice and the rest of his friends were also very cool. Ok. I'm beat. it's 1:33 and i have to be to work at 8 in the morning. it's bedtime for this drummer boy.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

"My December" by Linkin Park |
] |
I hate writing entries that show me being upset but here goes. Tonight I went over to Joe's house after work. He kinda broke his girlfriend, Danielle's car. We ended up fixing it. There was a problem with the shifter cables. It's all good now. Anyway....so I follow Joe to his gf's place to drop off her car after. As I'm sitting there watching the two of them interact for a bit. I didn't mean to be observing. I just do that sometimes. For about 30 seconds i saw their emotions change like 5 different times. I then remembered what it was like to actually have someone you cared for so much. After those 30 seconds or so I layed back in my chair and just thought about things. I've been doing a lot more thinking lately...almost too much.
On another note. Tonight was fun. I hung out with Tom, Joe, and Dan. we got some taco bell...the usual. that's about it. i guess I can't expect much from my weekday events. Work today was relatively light. I am hoping tomorrow is somewhat similar so maybe i can get out and do something seeing as friday during the day i have nothing to do til 4:30. I guess we'll see.
Well it's bed time for me. Time to relax, kick back and take in the sounds of the rain hitting the side of the house. I love the sound of rain at night. Hope everyone had a good night and hope you all have a wonderful day tomorrow. Adios

"Thick as Thieves" by Ghost Tales |
] |
I saw batman begins tonight. it kicked serious ass! Loved it. If anyone wants to go see it I'll go with you again. I mowed the lawn and made it look pretty today. trimmed some of the trees in the back too. I'm not sure why but i like taking care of the lawn this year. I had a great time with Kate, Bernola, Timmy, Carl Zeh and Amanda tonight. I've decided that I like good clean fun much more nowadays. Alcohol is alright but if it is used, I like it better when it's limited. Life is pretty darn tootin good lately lol. I can't wait to see where it leads me next. Maybe I'll find love or make a really good friend. who knows what could happen. I'll just try to make the best of things I guess.
Lately I can't stop listening to Ghost Tales stuff. I'm super excited to be playing with Vic. The show on the 30th is gonna kick butt. I just know it. everyone come! lol Alright. time to relax a bit and then go to bed. Work tomorrow at 9:30 til who knows lol.

"the district sleeps alone tonight" by The Postal Service |
] |
it's 3 o'clock monday morning. I just finished watching a movie. I'm about to head to bed but there's a lot on my mind right now. I'm not sure how to say it though. Life is full of high and low points...but its how we handle those points that matters. We keep those that are dear to us close by and we do not take them for granted. I must admit truthfully that I have taken some people for granted in the past. This saddens me but I am doing my best not to do so again. ya kno....I've learned a lot from my past relationships with people....whether they were just a friend, a family member, a love or whatever they were to me at the time.
One thing that as been on my mind I have talked to many people about before. I find it funny how true attractiveness works. Its like the more beautiful you see them in their personality and everything else other than their exterior beauty, the more the exterior beauty seems to shine. I've seen this happen so many times. It's happened with just friends and of course it's happened with others as well. Sorry about the randomness. I tend to be random at 3 in the morning.
There's so much I long for but I've learned that it's better to just go with life instead of trying to make your life. You can do things to better it but you can't force it. I won't force life...it's no fun that way lol.
Alright that's enough for one night. time to sleep on my couch downstairs in the "womb"....it's one of the rooms in my basement. It was nicknamed "the womb" by one Tony Galafaro. If you really wanna know the story just ask me sometime. Sleepy time now.

Today was soooo long. I got up in the morning and went to the store. I spent a crazy amount on a shirt and tie for my cousins wedding. Went to the wedding...it was the shortest wedding ever at 30 minutes long. I then proceeded to Schaellers with my parents, brother, mary and other family members (aunts and uncles). After that I came home...relaxed for a bit and then headed out to see joe. Joe was having a crappy day so we had some ice cream. after that I went to the reception. The food was alright, it was the least formal reception ever known to man. if my reception is ever anything like this.....shoot me. lol The DJ was also horrible. I did not dance hardly at all because of it......and I loove to dance. I danced with my mom, mary and my brother before i left. I then proceeded to pick up one Carl Zeh and headed to Audrey's house. For some reason she looked suprised when i got there. lol idk why, I'll have to ask her that. (yes, i was invited....lol...i thought so lol) We watched the mummy and part of wild wild west. But we also watched Audrey's old home videos and videos of her dancing. I had to wrestle her to see one of her dance videos. It was fun lol I thought I hurt her though. Glad to hear i didn't afterward lol. So I left there and took Carl home. Now here i am... about to go to bed....because it's 2:40 am. I would fill in more info but it's kinda late and im tired. sleep is definitely a necessity. Night everyone

Narcolepsy by Ben Folds |
] |
I'm a big mix of feelings right now. I have my excited part of me, then there's the anxious side. There's the side that likes home but there's the side that needs to get out. There's definitely a side tha wished that I could be different in some ways....but then there's a side that is happy with how I am now. There's the side that is content with life right now and then there is the side that still wants a bit more from it. It's really odd.
I worked all day today then went out and played bowling with some of the guys. That was basically my day. I got a nice 15 minute break over a period of 13 hours. I enjoy working sometimes. It keeps my mind occupied. See....when I have time to think my mind wanders. Wandering minds are bad. I think too much sometimes. I think too much about thinking too much. My mind has not settled for some time now. For a while i slept so much because that was the easiest way to escape it. then i started occupying my time. i did that for so long and now i have more time to relax...relaxing means thinking lol. I wish for a peace of mind.
I think sometimes I make things more complicated in my head than they really are. But I also wonder if I'm right sometimes. IDK. I just seem to be rambling now. I'm gonna head to bed. it's about that time lol

Joe and I installed one tonight. (only one because we had to do lots of drilling) What else is new.....hhhmmmm.. I have no friggin idea. Still single, keeping myself busy. Any questions? leave a comment. lol

[08 Apr 2005|10:20am] |
It looks like I'm going off to Potsdam for school next semester. That should be fun and exciting to get out on my own again. Now my parents said I can take my car...well...i have to do some stuff to that piece of wonderful metal lol. I also decided that there are some things that i want before I go away. So I've decided to make myself goals from now til the end of summer:

2. serpentine belt on car
3. alignment
4. tune up
5. buy audio interface
6. buy sm58 and sm57 microphones
7. 6" speakers and 10" subwoofer in car
8. develop a system for mounting my ipod in my car
9. Record as many songs as possible this summer with nick and on my own
10. Kick more ass at drums
11. have fun
12. finish out the semester well
Ok well i have to go to class. I'll write more later. cya!

Acoustic Version of "Cute without the E" -Taking Back Sunday |
] |
I haven't written in here in forever and a day. Not much is going on in my life. I'm going to school, I'm working quite a lot. im happy for the most part. Everyone's going back to school but it's alright. my car is in pretty good shape now. There are just a few more things to be done to it and it's back to being the most badass tercel out there lol. Joe and i are probably going to put in a new air intake, headers, and a new exhaust. oh jeez lol. but first i want to put my new system in my car....then we can do the crazy stuff lol.
Lately I feel like I'm a lot closer to my family for the most part. I'm trying to keep my life in order. find time for everything in my life. it's tough. I think i've found a way.........sleeping about 4 to 6 hours a night lol. instead of 7 to 9 like i used to get. I've gotten used to it though. between work and school I'm alright with it. I'm learning that sometimes you just have to go out there and do what you need to do. instead of making excuses. it's ok to not know what the heck you're doing all the time lol.
So i applied to a bunch of SUNY colleges for next fall today. It's kinda funny taking initiative without anyone having to even mention anything about doing it. I think staying at home has really shown me a lot. I can't wait for next fall. Hopefully I'll get into the schools.
The other day i went out with Emily Reid and we hung out. We went to Guitar Center where i bought two new condenser microphones. I can't wait to use them. Then we went to the mall where i bought myself some awesome new sneakers. they're greyish blue and orange colored lol. I've been wearing my old school shoes for a while now and i needed them badly. And then i got myself a new wallet because my old one was falling apart. So yea, this is the first time in a while that i went out and bought myself something. lol other than my new drumkit. hehehe
Wow this entry is long. I'm going to stop writing haha. Maybe I'll update again soon. peace

lately I've been....going to school and working. that's pretty much it really haha. I've been wanting to go out lately but no one else has. People are either too busy with work, school work or their other activities. and when they do have time they're too tired to do anything. IDK. I just wanna hang out with someone damnit! lol. oh well. It also doesn't help that I work weekends a lot. I need a weekend off. Well back to my usual thing on wednesday nights......chatting haha.

| so yea |
[08 Sep 2004|04:56pm] |
Tomorrow is my birthday and I have to work. How much crap is that? I have only one class tomorrow so that is nice at least. So we'll see how my birthday goes anyway...not too many of my friends round for it and no gf this year. oh well....shit happens. ok I just got home from school....now it's to work with me in an hour or so. I'll be on later tonight seeing as my one class isn't til 11 tomorrow.
The end
