Thursday, October 23, 2003

i haven't had a top five in a long time... and i've been hearing a lot of good stuff, so i'll just post a few songs... might have more than 5.

download these, all of them... now.

Die Radio Die - "murder me beautiful"
Bane - "some came running"
Hiding With Girls - "the stars cascade"
Map Of June - "a break in the clouds"
Story Of The Year - "until the day i die"
A Thorn For Every Heart - "next of kin"
Silverstein - "november"
Blue Sky Goodbye - "cover your eyes"
Thursday - "tomorrow i'll be you" (thanks chicha)...

if you still haven't bought the new Thursday cd, your entire family should be executed.
"You could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath I'd apologize, for bleeding on your shirt." - badass lyrics, from a badass song...


::listening to "the stars cascade" by Hiding With Girls::... very, very good band. i wish thta i would of know about them a long time ago. anyway, yeah... algebra 2 is really stupid. im sure everyone has either heard this, or said it themselves once or twice - "when am i ever going to actually use this crap in my life?"... well yeah, seriously. I know for a fact that i'll never need this algebra 2 BS in my job... so yeah, they need to quit wasting my time. well damn, that song is over now...

It's Like Glass, When We Break.


8 days, i'll be in dallas watching Taking Back Sunday. ha, you won't be... unless you're Christian or Marcum. but yeah, i can't wait.

Wednesday, October 22, 2003

holy shit, i just stumbled upon an amazing band... A Thorn For Every Heart. they had a link to their site from absoultepunk.net, and i checked it out... i listened to two mp3's, and they were both badass...
i cant wait for my car to be completly fixed so i can trade it in... i still haven't decided between the the two truckes that i liked... i'd be very very satisfied w/ either one, so i guess it just depends on who gives us the better deal on the trade in for my car.

oh yeah, i got payed yesterday... it feels pretty cool having a lot of money. but yeah, working is really really gay. it catches up to you. i think that im going to quit after my next paycheck. (haven't made any decisions, so don't quote me). thats it for now.

Sunday, October 19, 2003

im hungry... craig needs to go ahead and get ungrounded... we haven't had a "real" practice in forever. im liking the new Matchbook Romance cd. i need to burn a copy from marcus. ummm yeah, i added a few more band links.... i want to have a hundred.

yeah, time to go eat.

Saturday, October 18, 2003

Silverstein is a whole lot better than you... plus they're from canada, so yeah... well today i found out that Hopesfall and Planes Mistaken For Stars will be the two opening acts for the Ataris show on november 14th... hell yeah, those two bands are the only reason im going.... but anyway, i was on my way to odessa to get a ticket today, and almost died... yeah, i had a pretty bad blowout, and almost flipped. whats even better is trying to change a flat when you have really shitty tools... on the good side - after i get my car fixed, my mom said that i can finally trade it in... she actually wants to, so im pretty excited.


its confirmed... christian, marcum, and myself will be getting to see Taking Back Sunday, Saves The Day, and Moneen on Halloween... should be great... and i get to miss a debate tournament... so hell yeah.

Friday, October 17, 2003

top five bands i've been listening to this week

1 - Placebo
2 - Thrice
3 - Foo Fighters
4 - Northstar
5 - Taking Back Sunday(of course... i'll be seeing them on halloween!!!)

Thursday, October 16, 2003

if everything goes accordingly, october 31st should be the best day of my life... taking back sunday, saves the day, and moneen in dallas. im really excited about it... oh yeah, out of no where, the ataris decide that they're going to play in odessa november 14th on their "day off" from touring.... im not too sure what to think about it... they are hella badass in concert (i've seen em), but there will also be a hella amount of gay people there. im affraid that its gonna be a little abercrombie/hot topic get-together... (which are about the same thing now-a-days)... trendy kids deluxe will be there, but oh well... its not everyday that a good band comes to odessa.

Monday, October 13, 2003

this is really F'ing stupid... shit.


i was supposed to get to hang out with nikki today... (which would of been the highlight of my weekend by far)... but no, people at thriftway are content w/ being huge homosexuals... they had to fuckin call me in to work... damn, im really really pissed off. yeah, she probably thinks that i was just trying to blow her off, or some shit like that... because yeah, we didn't get to do anything together at all this entire weekend. which is my fault because i had to work all three days. i probably just F'ed up this whole damn thing. and what makes it 100 % worse is that she's been on my mind this WHOLE DAY!!!!!! non stop... actually this whole weekend. im given this really really awesome oppurtunity, and the first thing i do is screw it up. damn. i don't know what to do... im affraid that to her, it looks like im not interested and crap... which is the complete opposite. yeah. time to go lie on a bed for 7 hours. shit

oh yeah, happy birthday JAIME

oh yeah, one more thing... thanks chicha, you're a really good person to talk to about stuff like this

Sunday, October 12, 2003

i've been working alot lately, and haven't gotten to hang out w/ my friends in a while... thats been really stupid, but yeah... im makin that money, keepin it gangsta tight... yeah, i like nikki quite a bit. we're supposed to hang out tomorrow sometime, so im all sorts of happy. oh yeah, tomorrow is jaime's birthday(actually its alrerady his birthday because its like 1:13 am... ) but yeah, tell that kid happy birthday. im listening to great music, but it only makes me want to be with nikki more... i've listened to the same song like 6 times in a row... thats ok, its a badass song anyway. im still on aim, and im talking to chicha... ha, she makes me laugh.

Saturday, October 11, 2003

Hope For The Fallen is up and running again. the line up has changed a little, but with some work we should sound a lot better than before. craig will drop the guitar/mic and drum full-time, i'll still suck at playing bass, jaime will still play guitar and sing, and MATT LONG will be playing 2nd guitar and sing. I think that everything will work out really good. having matt adds a whole new style to our band, and i think that everything should mix really well. we're only going to keep like 2 of our old songs, so everything else will be brand new. yeah. i think we're going to zachs house now.

oh yeah, if you're not doing anything tonight -
GO TO THE EMO KID RIOT!!!!! - Always In June, Color Me Dead, Slim Slo Project, plus more. yeah.

Thursday, October 09, 2003

i added quite a few links tonight... so yeah. i'm trying to think of a good "top five" eh, this isn't too original, but i've been watching a lot of movies lately.

Top Five Movies Of All Time -

1- Fight Club
2- Office Space
3- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
4- Stealing Harvard
5- Enemy At The Gates

Wednesday, October 08, 2003

Marcus has decided that he doesn't want to be in the band any more because he wants to concentrate on his grades and whatnot... so yeah, we need a new drummer.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

oh yeah... a very happy birthday to an idiot by the name of Christian Wallace. we all hate your guts. go die.

i said that i wouldn't be posting again today, but yeah. shut up. things have turned around today, i got a job. yes, i'll be starting at 4:00 at thriftway tomorrow. hmm, im not too sure what to think of it yet. i guess im lucky that i got hired... jaime has been trying to get a job there for like 2 months. well at least i'll be able to save for a new bass amp... possibly another bass. that'd be great. yeah

im still very bummed about our band not playing on the 11th. it also kinda has a few good things about it i guess. i could possibly work that morning. and... Kassie is coming to andrews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg i can't wait to see her. i saw her for like 5 seconds at graduation, and that doesn't count. so actutally i haven't really gotten to see her in person in like.... eh, i'd say about 4 or 5 months. and the last time i saw her in person was at a basketball game, and we had a big fight. that was stupid, and i just really really really want to see her. should i do another top five? yeah, i will. ha, and its not like i expect a lot of people to read any of it, but yeah.

Top Five Songs That Are Better Than You... yeah, download em -

1- Broken Parachute, by Northstar
2- Backbreaker, by Red Animal War
3- Creep, by Radiohead
4- Life As Is, by Open Hand
5- For Sunday, by Name Taken

and yes cody, my knee is bruised. ha...
you know what they say::: you win some, you lose some... I guess you could say that i kind of live by that quote. hmm, yeah, i like it a lot. well by those standards - I've definitely been losing more than i should be. a lot of things have been slapping me in the face lately, and i can't seem to find a reason why. I also try to go about life without having any regrets... too bad that hasn't been working out lately either. I regret just about every big decision that i've made in the past month or two, and it's really stupid.
although a lot of things have been going wrong, i've managed to stay calm, in overall tranquillity. usually i would of just continued my life completely opposite of the ways i handle my problems now. i would turn to other things that seemed better instead of facing my problems. but yeah, all this crap is just about over. the best thing i can do is just let everything blow over so i can move on to better things.

well, i think i'll go ahead to post 2 "top fives" today, because i probably wont be on my computer when i get home from school today.

Top Five 80's Movies -

1- Ferris Bueller's Day Off
2- Teen Wolf
3- Breakfest Club
4- Sixteen Candles
5- The Lost Boys

Top Five Things That Don't Need To Exist -

1- Mayonaise
2- Yard Gnomes
3- France
4- Terriors (dog's with mustache's in general)
5- The New Hummer H2.

i felt that those two would be good for today.

Oh yeah, as a band we have made a decision that we won't be playing at The Emo Kid Riot, october 11th. Craig wasn't going to be able to go, and we were going to have jeremy from midland drum for us.... but me and jaime felt that it wouldn't really be a show without craig, so yeah... we're not playing.. My apologies to all of the other bands and to everyone who is going. im still definitely going. you should go check out the bands, they're all awesome.

yeah, i need to start doing my debate research before mrs. moose comes over here.

Sunday, October 05, 2003

i've been sitting out in the rain. wow, it was by far the best part of my day. yeah, my mom is out of town, and cooking for myself hasn't been working out too great. i wonder how im going to wake up in the morning. alarm clocks don't wake me up, so im kinda screwed. i wish that tonight wasn't sunday. i downloaded a whole bunch of acoustic songs tonight. most of them are perfect for this mood that im in right now. i've decided that im going to start posting different categories of "top five" stuff for every week. so for this week i'll start w/ "my top five bands for this week"-
1 - Red Animal War
2 - Thursday (their new cd could easilly kick your ass)
3 - Blueline Medic
4 - Outkast (older stuff)
5 - Open Hand

well yeah, i plan on doing a different category every week. possibly even every post. Jaime just told me that theres a tornado warning for midland county, thats awesome. i wish that there was some kind of hardcore storm here right now. for some reason i don't find any of that crap to be scary, i love it. maybe it will rain tomorrow.

Saturday, October 04, 2003

i was starting to get really tired of hopeless devotion, so i created a new blog. yeah... hopefully i'll be able to change this thing up quite a bit. i'll be adding another counter and guestbook as well.
