help me to breathe again for my voice no longer answers

Thu, 08 May 2003 01:32:55 GMT

i am tired, as indicated by my mood box. look up. i haven't gotten a good night sleep in 2 weeks. more than 1 and just a little less than 3. since my last post i recieved my license, which is good, because now i can drive.

i've been drawing a lot recently. i can't draw arms.

i've also been writing a lot, though clearly not in my livejournal. i apologize to all my avid livejournal viewers. My creative writing class has kept me inspired and i've been writing a lot of prose, which is fun, because i'm developing my voice...what a strange phrase, developing my writing voice. makes no sense...

i like to play guitar.

i want to fly. i want to soar above buildings and i want to look in the mirror so long that my face stops making sense and i want to look at someone else so long that their face stops making sense and i want to put the pieces together to make someone new so i could see the world from someone elses eyes because i always think about what it would be like to be someone else and see the world they see it because i've seen it my way and i'm ready for a change because how can i become wise if i have a biased view of everything and there's no such thing as objectiveness and i've never seen an angel or a miracle so i don't believe in god but i did meet a girl named hannah.

today i will begin the countdown:

10 days until i get my license

yeah, so mike and i went and got the mae cd on friday and it's pretty good. pretty poppy, though, and super-super-mastered, so it sort of lacks the emotion that i would otherwise like.

I did absolutely nothing this weekend. arg...well, i did learn how to jump-start a car. mine wouldn't start so my step-dad taught me how, then we went to practice parellel parking...

my ex-girlfriend has been interrogating me about why we broke up and i never wanted to tell her the real reason was that she was shallow but i didn't have to, because someone i talked to about our break-up told her. oh, well, that was an interesting conversation with gina. i need to be with someone who i can be both physically and intellectually stimulated by. i couldn't talk to her. i think she was immature and didn't know the difference between intellectual and physical relationships. she lumped them together into physical because, for her, that satisfy's both categories. alas.

adios.

jess griffin came to practice last week. that was cool, it went well. she has a really good voice.

my sister flipped out today for absolutely no reason. she's this ten year old kid running around the house screaming that everyone should leave her alone, leaving a mess and expecting everyone else to pick it up. she's been so spoiled she can't handle criticism and it pisses me off because she's turning into a jap. arg...

short weeks are great, but i got confused about what day it was, for instance: i have tuesday lab, i went to lab on thursday and was met with confusion.

i saw mr. cuneo, mr. mead, and mr. sampson (?) at Bennigans with dates. me, shane misuro, and grant slaughter did our best to embarrass them, and it worked rather well. cuneo was bright red, hoorah...

we have a creepy teeny bopper psycho fan who's obsessed with ben. ben is just so sexy that all the girls love him. maybe it's his mysterious persona...the world will never know.

anyway, yeah, i'm psyched, things are happening and that's good, because if things stopped happening then i would be dead. but, to be more specific, my social life is becoming more interesting, i'm going out on weekends, that's right, i'm a madman, and also with recording...fun process.

adios.

out from under

what a blizzard. and the shovelling...o the shovelling. my arms hurt, a lot.

the snow slowed down the recording process, plus, there were some things we need to work on with the recording, so, we'll probably finish "in retrospect" next week. then we'll do "of journals and diaries" the week after that, and jess griffin will come record with us. that should be fun, it'll be a good sound. we finally decided on a shirt design...took long enough. we'll be ordering those soon.

things are hopping, i'm writing more, not as depressed lately, hooray. the band's working on a new song that sounds really cool and funky, so that should be fun, i've already got some ideas for vocal stuff i wanna do with it. anyways, adios. thank you for caring.

in retrospect

band just recorded another song today (in retrospect). got some kinks we need to work out, yay. we've all noticed that we get tired of every song we record. soon, we'll have no songs left that we like and that'll be it.

i should be sleeping. my step-brother is going to australia and there's a party for him tomorrow, but i'm so "rebellious" that i'm going to stay up, muwahahahaha...

i finally found good lyrics for the song "of journals and diaries" it took me forever. i also wrote lyrics for the girl that's singing with us (jess griffin) for that song on the recording. that should be a good experience. this whole process is a lot of fun, however tedious it is. i feel bad for chris, he's there every step of the way and does overtime. poor guy.

night.

smile, for today you are alive

i'm a little low lately. don't know why. i have this problem in which i get in moods but i don't know why. the talent show was fun. the major criticism of the band i'm in is that the singing needs improvement. that's slightly depressing considering i'm the lead singer. so it goes. i'm working on it, and i think i have a good voice and people tell me i have a good voice, but i need to work on controlling it. alas. i'm writing more, and practicing singing as much as possible. we start recording soon. yay! we'll sell copies at school i hope. also, we're making t-shirts. hoorah. oh, for people reading this, my band is my life, so most posts will be about that.

just got livejournal

Mon, 03 Feb 2003 03:43:49 GMT

hey, just got live journal. i'm hoping this spurs me to write more. well, adios.
