Silence caused this internal travesty
Silence turned my thoughts into pain
Silence took away what was left of me
Silence killed me in the mid-April rain
What could have been
If you had only spoken sooner
What could have been
If I had only looked harder
I'll just fog up the glass
And avoid any subtlety
Just an uneasy drive
And it's over so suddenly
I won't say a word
And should my tongue slip...
I'm still right here
Right where you left me
And I'll be right here
Until you come and get me |

Sea of Swords finally found a new drummer by the name of Brandon Mase, and he's sick as all hell. We've had two practices so far. The first one was a little shaky, but we got some stuff accomplished and everyone got a feel for everyone else's playing style. And yesterday we worked out our first completed song. It still needs some lyrical work, but musically it's down. All we need to do is tighten up and we'll be good to go by June.
And speaking of June, our first show is at the Kave with the Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza. If things keep sounding as awesome as they are already, we're going to tear that place apart with our epicity.
And also, I may have gotten myself a job at Yankee Candle. I'll probably find out today if I have a job or not. I hope I get it too. I go to court in 2 days and I don't know how I'm going to pay my fine. But I'm sure I'll figure something out. |

My new band is well under way. Mike Mitchell backed out, so we're out a drummer for now. We're meeting a potential candidate tomorrow. I'm hoping it goes well. We also set up a Myspace account so people can check out what the band is sounding like. The link is over near that picture over there. Also, if you have a Myspace account you should send us a friend request.
Thanks for the new heading idea, Joe. Ha ha. |

East Coast Stomp is broken up. Me, Phil, and Jimmy are continuing with a new band called Sea of Swords with Dave Proctor and Mike Mitchell. It should sound pretty rad, I can't wait to pull everyone together for a full practice and see what comes out. And other than that, I don't really know what to say. Now taking applications for a girlfriend, maybe? |

Weird how assloads of time can go by and nothing significant that I feel like sharing can happen.
I'm going to see GWAR and All That Remains tonight though.
And ECS might be doing a split release with Amaranthus, at least that's my understanding. Either it's a split or they're just hooking us up with a badass deal on recording time.
March 2nd. Ushuaia's. ECS. More bands. Be there. |

So much for Ashley. She pulled the exact same thing Jess did, with the "I still love [insert ex here] but we can still be friends and blah blah blah." Weird that the same thing could happen like that not only twice in a row, but within 2 weeks of each other. Fucking girls, honestly. You're all fucking dumb.
Except for Jenna. You still rule. ~_^
ECS finally has a new practice space, so we're going to be kicking out some badass songs pretty soon. I'll put our show dates here as we get them. For now, all we have lined up is a show in March, but hopefully we'll get some stuff before then. |

Strike my post about being straightedge. That's just not going to work.
And strike the Jess thing. She's still hung up on an old boyfriend/fuckbuddy/whatever, so she doesn't want to be in a relationship right now. But on the upside, I met another girl named Ashley with whom I'm getting along with very well. We'll see where that goes.
East Coast Stomp will be playing at the Asylum in Portland tomorrow (21+, sorry kiddies). And we're playing again at Ushwaia on the 31st, all ages this time. There's also a pending gig at the Alehouse in Portland. As far as I know, the date isn't confirmed. |

East Coast Stomp is working out amazingly. I've been learning songs pretty quickly. We played at a birthday party a few days ago (my first time in front of people). It went really really well. We have shows coming up on the 30th at the Asylum and the 31st and Ushuaia's.
I also have a girlfriend now. Her name's Jess. We met at Phil's house (guitarist for ECS) and we just kind of hit it off. It's going pretty well so far from what I can see.
Christmas was cool. I got awesome stuff. |

I've come to a very important decision as of late.
I've decided that I'm going to be straightedge.
This came to me after quite a bit of thinking over the past couple of days. I've taken a look at how my life's gone so far, how the people around me have changed, and how I've changed. I'm going to be 20 years old on the 30th of this month. That's a quarter of my life. And I think it's time to grow up. I don't need drugs or alcohol to enjoy myself. I want to just be myself. The end of this year marks a major change in my life. I'm giving myself a clean slate. And hopefully it will make me a better person. |

I finally get a few days off after today. Yesterday sucked ass because I had to work at Pretzel Time from 8:30 to 2:00, dicked around the mall for 3 hours, and back to work at Hot Topic from 5:00 and I didn't get home until 11:30ish. The things I do for money...
My car's still being fixed, god dammit. The alternator went a few days ago, plus I found out this morning that it's got a major oil leak and he can't quite find where it's coming from. I can only hope this won't end up being too expensive. And I really miss being able to drive myself around. Argh.
And there's yet another free play party at Power Up arcade tomorrow, so guess what I'll be doing all day.
I hate not really having anything to say. |

Me and Hayley aren't seeing each other anymore. She told me it's because her parents are both freaking out because I'm an "older guy" and that she's also too busy to be a good girlfriend. I can understand, but at the same time, it still doesn't seem fair to me. I like her a lot and I was hoping that I could actually have a normal relationship for once. But there's really nothing I can do about it, so there's no point on dwelling on it. I'm just tired of being alone.
At the arcade yesterday, I found assloads of tokens in the token dispenser because some dipshit forgot to grab them. I rule at life.
Now I'm off to eat turkey with my grammy. |

Hm. I've had a fairly craptastic weekend so far. Friday I worked from 9 to 5 and it was incredibly slow because I was excited to go spend some time with Hayley. When I got to the theatre, she told me she was tired and was just going to head home, which bummed me out. So I got to meander around the mall some more with a gaggle of folks for a few hours before going home. Rick kept me up 2 hours later than I wanted to because we kept talking so I woke up Saturday morning tired (again). I worked from 8:30 to 3:30, played some DDR, and went home. I've had opportunities to go do stuff, but I just got a new car that hasn't been inspected, registered, or insured yet. Plus I just don't feel like doing stuff. Maybe I'll just go see Team America again and call it a weekend. I can already tell this week is going to suck. I have to work on Black Friday, and I think Hot Topic actually scheduled me to work on Thanksgiving. Assholes. I'm going to do whatever I can to get out of it. Bleh. Life kinda sucks right now. |

Halo2 on Xbox live rocks your face directly off. 'Nuff said.
I decided that I'm going to see Team America as many times as I can before it leaves the cheap seats. It's just so damn good. And it never stops being funny. At least to me. Normally I have a problem with going to see a movie by myself, but I'm willing to make several exceptions this time. I might have to. I only have so many friends and I doubt any of them would want to see it as many times as I plan to.
Friday just might rule. Tons of us are going to see the Spongebob movie. I'm super-excited, it looks pretty funny from the previews I saw. And hopefully me and Haley will have time to hang out afterwards. We tried to hang out last night but my back tire ended up kinda exploding so that got cut off rather abruptly. Not to mention I have to pay at least $34.99 for a new tire and another $14.99 to get it mounted. Argh.
Melodie had the most excellent idea of having a quadruple (possibly quintuple) date with a ton of us folks. It will most definitly kick ass. Hopefully some details can be worked out soon. Of course, there are so many people lined up to go that I can't even remember all their names (to be honest, I only remember me, Hayley, and Melodie). It should be a good time.

I had to work some retardedly long hours last night. I hope I don't have to pull too many more 9-5 shifts or I'm just going to flip out. Especially since it cut into my free time for the rest of the day. Hayley met me after work and we headed to the Panda Garden. Stupid me forgot that the buffet closes at around 3:00, but the most excellent beef lo mein made up for it. Plus we saw Andy's mom there. Tee hee. Then we went to see Team America, which was funnier the second time around. We hung out at her friend Joe's house for a little while afterwards before I brought her home around 10:30. Hopefully I'll be able to see her again today. Although me and Chasson have DDR plans and I'd hate to make her deal with me when I'm drenched in sweat. It's by no means a pretty scene.
I really really need to try Halo 2 on Xbox Live... |

I've had a pretty interesting week. I haven't been home a lot because I've been either working or staying with friends. It's been a lot of fun too. Alex ended up coming to my house. He not only cleaned and organized all my rooms, he also helped me rearrange my computer room from a jumbled mess to something I can actually occupy. He even moved my futon from my bedroom into the computer room so I can relax when I'm watching TV. Plus I can just sleep in the computer room now, so I only have to leave to eat and use the bathroom. Mwahaha.
I've also had a pretty interesting and kick-ass day. Waking up for work sucked, of course. But when I finally got out, I got to hang out with a bunch of my friends, the highlight of which being Hayley. Her friend (and Rick's girlfriend) Linden set it up so we could finally actually meet and get to know each other a bit. It was a ton of fun. We hung around the mall for a while, went to Thai Siam downtown, and generally had a cool time. She seems pretty awesome, I'm trying to set up some more times for us to hang out over the weekend. I'm hoping tomorrow works out as well as I'm hoping. I must introduce her to the joys of Panda Garden. |

Update time! Woo!
Pretzel Time has been fun these past two weeks. This whole waking-up-way-early thing is starting to piss me off a bit, but the money's right. Heh heh. I got myself the most awesome jacket ever with my first paycheck. The rest I need to save, I owe people money and I need to be able to keep my truck fueled until I get my next, much bigger check.
Also, I finally had a band practice after all this time of doing nothing. It was me, Ziggie, Mike, and Rick, and it went a little slow at first, but once we got the lineup all set, things went a lot smoother. Apparently, I'm going to be playing drums. I actually like the idea. I've got a decent sense of rhythm so I can at least keep up until I get better. The set we have is extremely ghetto though. I'm thinking about asking my dad to come help me with an electronic set for my birthday. I've been wanting to learn to play drums for a while now, and this seems like a good opportunity. Plus, there being such a huge shortage of drummers from the area, I'll be in huge demand if I get good enough. Maybe if I keep working on Max 300 at the mall, my legs will be strong enough for them there double-bass patterns.
Other than that shizzle, life is same-old same-old. |
