It's 5:38 AM...I have class at 9. I have yet to sleep tonight. But it's okay. Im not even really that tired. Don't know why either. I should be exhausted. I just finished a paper that I didnt have to do tonight. Did it anyway though. Im strange.
I go home tomorrow. Well, technically, today. Im looking forward to it. I cant wait to see my family, the BOS, my westhill and solvay kids. Everyone from Pac Sun. Im just really excited to see the people that made up my life before this place became it. I miss them, and sometimes, I really need them and they cant be here. But thats okay. Thats how we grow.
As excited as I am to go home and see everyone I love, I know the whole time I am there, Im gonna be missing the people here at school. I love it here, I love my friends here. I know Im gonna miss them like crazy. Especially Mandie, but Im sure that goes without saying. Im gonna miss her so much. This is going to be the longest period of time that we're going to go without seeing each other. Im used to seeing her every day, and for the next nine days, I dont get to see her, or even hear her voice. I must sound pathetic. I probably am. But at least Im honest. I dont think theres anything wrong with missing the person you love. I dunno, but Im gonna stop talking about this before I make myself sad, LoL. I get to see my friends and family, this is happy time!
Im very excited though. My sister is so cute, I cant wait to see her, and play with her, and color and watch Dora the Explorer, lol. Its gonna be good. Cant wait to go out with my BOS and hug them, and Im sure we'll most likely end up at the Heights smoking cigars. I love the BOS. I think of you guys every day. Only a few more hours and we'll all be together! Cant wait to see Alli and Kare and Jess...wish I could see Alex but he wont be in town:( My aunt is coming up from Virginia for Thanksgiving, and I absolutely cannot wait to see her. I love her so much. And my dad. I cant wait to see him and hang out. I wanna go to the Dinosaur, and sit in the Sinatra room at Delmonico's. And allllllll my other high school friends. Im too excited.
I dunno, Im bored because Im the only one up at 5:52AM. It's okay though. Im finding things to do. Ill try to write after break in about 10 days.

Long day today. This weekend was parents weekend at school, so everyone's parents were here, visiting their kids, stuff like that. Last night I went to dinenr with Token and his family. His parents are great, very nice people. I enjoyed spending some time with them. After dinner we went to the comedian that the school booked for the weekend. Andrew Kennedy was pretty good. He did some dead on impersonations which are always cool. He did Clinton, Schwarzenegger, GW Bush, his Colombian mother, and his English father. It was cool. The comedian after him, Bob Nelson was alright. He was definitely geared toward the parents, thats for sure. He did do some funny things though, like his Chinese character, and his nerd. Decent stuff.
Today my parents came. Well, my mom, my stepdad and my little sister. We went out to lunch at Christopher's, which was alright. It was like this hunting lodge theme restaurant. It was interesting. Wasnt really hungry though so i didnt eat too much. Brought it all home. Damn good investment. LoL. Anyway, after that we went to wal-mart...our haven down here in lovely Oneonta, lol. Bought a lot of stuff i needed for the room, so now I am FULLY stocked. Its good to be fully stocked. Came home and my cutie little four year old sister provided entertainment for all of my friends, lol.
Today was nice, because my mother and I got along. A lot of times we dont get along too well, but we really got along rather well today, which was nice.
LoL, speaking of my mom, that reminds me. Today we're eating lunch and she notices a hickey on my neck. So later when we're at wal mart, she buys me a 12 pack of condoms. LoL. Amazing.
Prior to this visit, my mom didnt know that I drink or have sex. Now she does. A successful day if you ask me. LoL.
Umm, I think I am done...

These past two days have been Hell. I haven't eaten, and for the most part, havent moved from my bed. Being sick sucks. Its really as simple as that. Thankfully, Im feeling better. Keep in mind, however, that better does not mean healthy. I still feel like shit, just less than I did yesterday. But I'm alive. Thats all I could ask for.
Ive got a lot on mind lately. Probably because of all the time that Ive had to just myself. I dont feel the need to put those feelings out there for everyone to read right now though. I just dont know. And this all could just be me over reacting. I dont know. I just hope I didnt set myself up again...and I have a feeling a might have.
It seems everytime i come to update this, i never have much to say anymore...

But whats new. Im always tired. Especially since I started living at Tobey Fuckin Hall. Its near impossible to get decent sleep around here, lol. But its all good. I really dont care.
Im not even really sure why I decided to update right now. I have nothing to say really. Its 2:30am, and I have class at 9...more so I have a presentation. Woohoo. Way too excited for that one.
Yeah this was a dumb idea. Ill update later when i am more awake...

I know I havent updated in a long time...there's just always so much going on here that I cant seem to find the time. But I think Im gonna start making time. This is my medium to vent, and I cant keep all that Im feeling right now bottled inside forever. I have to let it out somehow.
Anyway...Im a verry unhappy person right now...been like this for more than a week. Im not really gonna get into it. All I know is I hate feeling this way. I cant stand to be like this. Yeah, I do try to put on a front and act like everything is OK, but I know that Im not OK. But thats just how I deal. I just wish it could be the way it was. And no matter how many times its explained to me why it cant be like it was, I wont understand.
I was looking through my poetry/story notebook, and I came across this poem that I wrote. I dont remember when I wrote this poem, or whowhat inspired it...but as I was reading it, I realized that it applies very much to how I am feeling right now. Its weird. Maybe I wrote it before on some kind of premonition. Maybe I knew that I was going to feel this way one day. I should've known. These feelings should be normal to me by now. Im never good enough.
Anyway, this poem is very free-verse. I think I kinda just wrote it on a tangent, and this is what came out. It isnt very good, in fact i dont think its good at all, but it espresses my feelings, and isnt that the point of poetry anyway? Feedback would be cool- positive or negative, but if its negative, at least be nice, lol.
It doesnt have a title...
Why do the things that happen to me
Always seem to happen to me?
I do my best to treat people right
With an open mind, an open heart
And with that open heart
Comes an open, easy target
Waiting for you to break it to pieces
To tear it apart, to break my heart
It was you I looked to for happiness
It was you I looked to when I needed a smile
But now its you who breaks my heart
And now its you who tears me apart
Those lips, once so soft, the caress of your kiss
Now speak the evil that brings me pain
I cant confide
And I cant rely
I dont even know what to think
Your words have brought me to this place
And I pray that they can pull me up again
But who knows when that day will come?
Tomorrow, next year, maybe never
I dont know
Only you know
And its that which kills me
Come back to me...
Yeah so thats the poem. Its very freakin emo, but hey, whatever. Maybe Im just extra depressed because of this god damn all day hangover. Not fun.
P.S. Im sorry if that made you sad. I really am.

Last night was interesting. Thats for sure.
Forrest had the BOS over for dinner at his house. Alyse picked me, Natalie, and Jon up and we went over, Jim was already there. So was Forrest's girlfriend, Cara. She's pretty cool. She's going to NYU.
Anyway, when I got there, dinner was still cooking, but there were some nice snacks. Damn snacks, they filled me up! Lol. While we waited, me, Jim and Jon played some Smash Brothers on Gamecube. Lol, I suck at that game. I just dont get it. But who cares. I dont lol.
Then we ate dinner. Forrest had made us chicken parmigana and spaghetti. It was so good. Too bad I couldnt finish cuz I ate so many snacks. We talked over dinner, laughed a lot. Mostly because of Alyse. Lol, she's too funny.
Then we chilled in the living room and talked some more. Everyone looked through my photo album that I brought. I put it together for my graduation party last month, but the other night I added more pictures to it, and some fun little captions to some of the pictures, so I thought it would be fun to bring.
I had to leave shortly thereafter. It was really sad for me, because, even before I started playing tennis, I was friends with Forrest. He's become one of my best friends, and I had to say goodbye to him last night. That was the last time I get to see him for awhile. But we'll stay in touch...I know that much.
So after dinner with the BOS, I went with my homies, Alex, Alli, Kare and Jess. Apparently Alex tripped and broke his knee. I didnt see it, but it was supposedly hilarious.
Yeah...I was pretty wasted last night. Like, yeah...too wasted. I feel kinda bad too, because that lovely dinner that Forrest made for me...ended up in a bucket. Lol...sorry Forrest. I dont even know how much I drank...but it usually takes me a lot to ralph, but I did it last night. We had malibu mango rum...goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood stuff, and it will kick your ass in the morning. Drank a lot of Bud Lite(yum) cuz I let Alex kick my ass at beer pong.
Speaking of beer pong. We didnt have any ping pong balls, so me, Kare and Alli went in search of some. No place had any. We were at P&C and finally gave up when I saw a kitty toy ball:). I stole it, lol. Yeah, so what.
Cigarettes are gross. Yuck. Tobacco aftertaste is gross too. I still taste it this morning. No more smoking for me I dont think.
So...I leave in 4 days. Yay. I cant friggin wait to go to school. But I'm kinda drained and tired so Im gonna go now.

'Somebody told me
you have a boyfriend
that looks like a girlfriend
I had in February of last year'
That song is AMAZING. For those of you who dont know, it's "Somebody Told Me" by The Killers. Its absolutely amazing. Its got like a super 80's techno new wave rock feel...lol something like that. I think you should all download it. Amazing.
Lol, alright Im done with that. Im just kinda sitting around here, alone and bored. Im supposed to play some tennis a little bit later with some of the BOS. That should be fun. I havent played tennis in the longest time. Hopefully I dont suck too bad today. Me and Romeo gotta play that match...i gotta play him at least once more before I leave.
Speaking of which, I leave for college one week from today. One week, then I take all my things, packed neatly in boxes, and move 2 hours away from home. Kind of starting a new life. On my own. A new chapter in my life. Im really excited. I think my roomate Sean and I are gonna have an amazing time, studying of course...and partying on the weekends! Its gonna be a great time. I just dont want to leave all my friends.
I dont know man. I guess Im done for now.

Before I start...lets give a nice round of applause to my buddy nicole, aka hold_on_tightly for redesigning my layout to me. Id just like to say that Stewie rules and will one day rule the earth.
And now a picture:)
That's me (on the left) and Elliot outside of our hotel room in New Jersey the first day of Hellfest. We sent that to our friend Jim on his cell phone cuz we missed him, lol. We're special. And I'm cute, admit it!
Anyway, college starts soon. Im excited. Really excited. But at the same time, Im really sad. This whole college thing is really really bittersweet. It really sucks saying goodbye to the people that you love with your whole heart, that make up your world. I dont know if I will be able to say goodbye to all my best friends. I said goodbye to one of the best last night, and it was hard. I hid it the best I could, but its just not easy. A week from today another friend leaves. The day after him, I leave. I start my new life in Oneonta, with new friends and new places to go. New things to do.
I dunno, Im just gettin real sad.
I dont know what else to say...

"In the air Tonight"- Nonpoint |
] |
What a week its been for me. Sheesh. I think this is the first time Ive been home in like...3 or 4 days. I dunno maybe I am overexaggerating. Maybe not. Im retarded. But yeah I havent been home in a few days. Now I am.
Anyway, Friday was the annual Krockathon. Fun times, fun times for sure. It was a good show, no doubt. I went with Alli, Kare, Jess Mirra, and Alex. On the way in we met up with my friends Carissa, Cara, Cassy, and Michelle. Hung out with them for a few, and decided to head in for the concert. The venue was a lot smaller than previous years, so Im guessing either they have nowhere else to go, or their budget sucks. Oh yeah, I should prolly mention, for those that dont know, the Krockathon is the annual concert put on by our local rock radio station.
Anyway, we got inside around 2ish, and the first band I wanted to see didnt even start til 4:20. That band was Cypress Hill. Sweet show, they had this giant inflatable buddha on stage with them. It was cool. They put on a decent show.
Prior to Cypress Hill playing, we kinda just chilled, checked out all the fun tents, hanging out with 4 dollar beers, running into people I knew. I ran into my new friend, Jess, who goes to my school. It was a nice treat running into her. I ended up spending the day with her, chillin, watching the bands. She's fun:)
Anyway, after Cypress Hill was another great band, Nonpoint. This was my 4th time seeing them, so I knew it was most likely gonna get pretty crazy. They played a lot of old songs, as well as a couple off their new cd, which comes out pretty soon. They played their version of Phil Collins' "In the air Tonight", which is amazing. If you havent heard it, go to http://www.nonpoint.com and listen to it on their media player. Its sweet. The singer of Nonpoint had this idea brewed up in his head, which turned out to be a not so good idea. First he split the crowd up into two halves, the left and the right. Then he told us, on the count of three, for the people on the right to go to the left, and the people on the left to go to the right. On the count of three, complete chaos ensued. It was fuckin great!
The next band to play is one of my favorite bands of all time, Sevendust. This was my 4th time seeing them, so I knew that their performance was insane. They get better every time you see them. Anyway, of course they played an amazing set, closing with "Black", as opposed to opening with it like they usually do. I was a little upset that they didnt play "Bitch" or "Broken Down", but hey, its all good. I caught one of the drumsticks Morgan threw into the crowd. Thats the second drumstick I have from him. Sweet.
After Sevendust I decided to take a little break. I chilled with my friends, and Jess, and we kinda just sat there, exhausted and talked. During this, Fuel was playing, so of course I was also singing along. I kind of regret not going down in the crowd, because Fuel put on a helluva show. They were really great. They even played a version of Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane". They closed with "Hemorrhage(In My Hands)".
After Fuel, we all decided to get as close to the stage as possible for the last band, Hoobastank. They were really good, they put on a lot better show than I thought they would. I know most people are sick of "The Reason" by now, I know, Im one of them...but it was really good live. Its a lot different, to hear it live. It was amazing. Of course, they closed with "Crawling in the Dark".
Things like these make me realize just how bad I want to succeed as a musician. I want to be in a band and be able to play to people like that. I want to be on stage, with the lights, and the amped up sound, the crowd singing the words to my songs, eating out of the lead singers hand. I think that hearing a crowd of thousands of people sing along to your songs, or clapping their hands simultaneously must be an incredible feeling for those artists performing. I want to experience that feeling. I dont care about the money. I care more about the feeling. I love music. I want to make music that others love, so that we can share that love.
I have high goals. I dont even know what I want to do anymore as far as a band goes. Like, I play drums, so of course I'd love to play drums in a band. But I also want to play guitar in a band. And I really want to front a band, to be the lead singer. These goals are all very pheaseable, but of course, these arent my only goals. I have so many goals, I think I may have to sacrifice some to achieve the others. Thats why its so hard to figure out what I want to do.
Well, Im outta here soon. It was brought to my attention that I leave for college exactly three weeks from today (Aug 1st). Thats kind of a wake up call. I didnt realize it was that soon. It seems like summer flew by and heres college, waiting there with its shit eating grin, welcoming me to the real world. Its time to grow up and do what I have to do to be the man that I want to be.
And the countdown begins...
20 days...

Lately I've been noticing...I think I'm lonely. I dunno. Like, I'm a firm believer that you DO NOT need a significant other, be it your boyfriend or girlfriend to make you happy, but lately, I want one so badly. I want a girlfriend. I want a significant other. I dunno, I think this all started when two of my best friends got together. I knew it would happen between them in due time, and Im so happy that it did. They make each other better. But ever since they got together, I see them together always, and it reminds me of what its like to have some one like that. Someone to hold, someone to kiss, some one to talk to about anything on your mind. Someone to go on dates with. Someone to flirt with. Someone to cuddle with. Someone to watch movies with. Someone to love. And someone who loves you back.
But you know, I told myself I wouldnt date anyone. Im going to school in four weeks. Im moving away. There's no way I should start a relationship now. And yeah, I know there's going to be tons and tons of girls at school, and I understand that I'll have many opportunities, but that isnt now. I guess Im contradicting myself from earlier. I always said I didnt want a girlfriend because Im leaving. And now here I am, wanting a girlfriend, maybe because Im leaving.
I havent had a relationship since the new year. Whats that, almost eight months? And I ended it with her for stupid reasons. Granted, I know I didnt want to be with her, but my reason for the break up, overall, was stupid.
There was someone else. Not someone else I was seeing. Someone else I was loving. If you're close to me, you know who I'm talking about. It was the only girl I ever loved. And the only girl who was capable of ripping my heart out of my chest, and she did just that. We had a relationship for two or three months, and it was amazing. She was the girl of my dreams, and after a year and a half struggle, she was finally mine. I had dreamed of her kiss, and now all I had to do was lean forward, and my dream became a reality. But after time passed, I began to wear my heart on my sleeve as she pushed me away. She didnt want to be with me anymore. She probably never did in the first place. Then, like nothing had happened, she started dating other guys. I knew I had to move on. So I tried. I met new people, got set up by friends, all that good stuff. But I couldnt do it. I sabotaged those relationships because they werent her. I realize that now. Although she wasnt with me, she still drove me. She put a hole in my chest, and even though she wasnt there, the thought of her dictated what I did.
That all happened about a year ago. I saw her a few weeks back. We hardly talk anymore. She was once my best friend, now it seems as though she could care less that I breathe, and exist. I could make more of an effort to be her friend, but she hurt me. She's the one that destroyed me, she should be the one to make the effort to befriend me.
Im sorry. That got a little off...subject, I suppose.
Like I said, I saw her a few weeks back, and much to my amazement, I didnt feel anything. No love, no sorrow, no reminiscing, nothing. I was finally over her, and that is saying something.
But lately...I cant stop thinking about her. Do I miss her? Or do I miss what we had? But what we had, I could only have with her. So do I miss her?
Im sure that in four weeks when I go away to college, Im gonna meet some great girls, and Ill probably have a girlfriend sometime in the near future at school...but thats in four weeks. This is how I feel now. Am I wrong to feel this way? Does anyone else feel this way about someone? I dont know...
~ive had you so many times but somehow i want more~
{i miss you even though i know i shouldnt}

This past weekend was Hellfest. Good times, my friends, good times. Although I was upset they moved Hellfest away from home(Syracuse) this year, I decided I'd still go, because, come on, you CANNOT say that this years line up wasnt great. It just sucked driving 4 hours to New Jersey, as opposed to driving 5 minutes to the fairgrounds here in good ole' Syracuse. Anyway, me and a friend, and his parents went down to New Jersey on Thursday night to get in the hotel and everything. Now people, I'm telling you this as a friend: be forewarned. If you are ever in Elizabeth, New Jersey...do not, and I mean DO NOT stay at the Econolodge...I dont care how low their prices are, you dont want to stay there. We reserved two rooms, one for me and my friend, and one for his parents. We called the day before and why said we'd only have one room. When we got there, they said they didnt have our reservation. WTF? We eventually got it sorted out, and they told us, and I quote, "tonight you will have one room with two beds, tomorrow, you may have only one bed". What the hell is that?? And apparently it wasnt only us...they were screwing up EVERYONE's reservations. Whatever.
So, now onto the actual Hellfest. As I said, I was upset about the fest being away from home, but I will give the promoters this...the venue was actually not that bad. It was freakin huge. Four soccer fields, two of which held stages, and the other two were for merch, like, three different skate parks, a paintball arena, basketball courts, which housed another stage, and a video arcade. This place was insane.
Anyway, performances to note:
As I Lay Dying~ was amazing, as usual. The music was intense and the crowd was really into it. For the second time seeing them, I lost my glasses again. Thankfully a nice girl helped me find them, and much to my amazement, they weren't even that damaged. Still wearable.
Shadows Fall~ this was my first time seeing them, and it was great. "Thoughts Without Words" was insane, and they even played some stuff off of the Of One Blood record. Brian's dreads are even more impressive in person, lol.
Evergreen Terrace~ right up against the stage for this one. Bad idea, lol. The kids went crazy, stage dives all over the place. Smashed my elbow on the stage...bled a bit, but nothing bad. And I think its appropriate to note that they closed with "Dear Live Journal", lol.
Every Time I Die~ always amazing. This band is just one of those bands that always puts on a good show...even if they suck, they put on a good show. "Ebolarama" was sick...probably one of the biggest pits for that song.
E. Town Concrete~ one of the more unique bands on the fest, with their blend of rap/hip hop and hardcore. I had my doubts when I first heard about them, but after I bought the cd a few months ago, those doubts went away. This band blows me away, and they were absolutely amazing live. The singer Anthony Martini was just chillin during the fest, he was a cool guy. They played "Battle Lines", which was probably my favorite song of their set. Insane.
Underoath~ great great band. saw them at Hellfest last year, but didnt really know enough of their stuff to appreciate it. this year was different. they put on a really great show and everyone was really into it. they played some old stuff, and some stuff off the new record. one of my favorite parts of their performance wasnt even the music, but what they had to say. generally it was something like this "i heard a lot of hardcore bands talking today about how hardcore means family, and unity, but what I think, is hardcore is becoming a bunch of little cliques, where if you dont listen to a certain style you're not cool, and that needs to stop, no matter what kind of music you listen to, because thats a family" I just really agree with that, I thought it was a strong statement, and a bold one, to say in front of thousands of kids that probably disagreed with them.
Bane~ as always, Bane put on one hell of a fucking show. they're such a great band and deserve all the respect and admiration that their fans have for them. during their set, Bane let this band, FC5, from Japan play two songs, since they couldnt get on Hellfest. They were amazing. Probably the coolest part of the performance was when one of the FC5 guys started the first line from "Can We Start Again" in Japanese, and then Bane kicked it back in. My god it was amazing.
The Ataris~ i was hoping that this performance would be better than the last time i saw them. no such luck. are the ataris bad live or do i just have bad luck. this time, the guitarists amp or something messed up. then Kris' guitar messed up. Eventually he got so pissed he just launched his guitar behind the drum set and went crazy. And they only played half their set cuz their equipment messed up. Well, at least I got a guitar pick and an autograph from Kris.
Throwdown~ this is just a good band. i mean, they dont get much better than throwdown. their heaviness is intense, and the singers voice is just so on for hardcore. they're so tight live too, they sound just like they do on the album. im sure that i would have appreciated throwdown much more last year, when I was still edge, but people change, and thats just not for me anymore, however i have so much respect for those that still hold straight edge in their hearts. its tough to stand in the face of adversity and they do it every day of their lives and they stay strong.
Strike Anywhere~ i heard this band right after the hellfest bands were announced. i saw their name and decided to check them out. i became an instant fan, and knew that i would have to check them out at hellfest. they put on one hell of a show and are a bunch of great guys. they have great political views, which is always a plus.
The Misfits~ it was just amazing to feel like a part of history. jerry of the misfits, dez of black flag, and marky fucking ramone all on one stage. when marky ramone got on stage, he started a chant of "hey,ho,lets go"...it was crazy.
Roses are Red~ i saw these guys a few months back when they were known as Nobody Cares. then they signed to trustkill and changed their name. anyway, at hellfest, they put on one hell of show, much better than i remember fromt he last time. they just had so much energy, and they seemed to have a new heaviness to them. it was awesome.
Andrew WK~ didnt think he was going to get as crazy a reaction as he did. but he got the biggest pit of the day, possibly even of the whole fest. he just put on a good show. there were easily 100+ kids on stage with him. insanity. when its time to party we will party hard.
Killswitch Engage~ saturday's headliner. possibly the best performance of the whole fest. they just have this unbelieveable stage presence, their music is amazing, and they're just great. howard, the singer was swinging the mic on the first song and clocked adam, the guitarist right in the face. busted him wide open right above his left eye, and he was bleedin like friggin hell. but he still played. thats hardcore. they threw a cake off stage cuz it was one of the members birthday, and they offered 5 bucks to whoever would lick adams wound. someone licked it, but adam only had 2 bucks. lol. very very good band. i would highly suggest if you ever have the opportunity to see them, do it. i cant wait til i get another chance.
Walls of Jericho~ this was their best performance that ive ever seen. they had crazy energy, and candace was just kicking ass. she's so hot, but she would kick the shit out of me. lol. i was glad they played "a little piece of me"...thats like a fucking mosh anthem. and of course they closed the set with "playing soldier again".
Most Precious Blood~ they played a great set. such a good band. they closed with an earth crisis song, which is always cool.
i think thats about it for the bands that i felt were necessary to talk about. hellfest was amazing, as simple as that. to anyone who couldnt make it, im sorry, but hey, theres always the dvd next year, and of course hellfest it self next year. we'll see if it stays in jersey or if it comes back home to syracuse, where it belongs.

Yup...its been lame lately. I hate being incapacitated. I cant do anything. All I do is sit around all day now cuz I cant walk on my foot and i gotta keep it elevated and crap all day. Fun. Cant wait til this thing heals.
Been babysitting my little sister this week. SO far its been ok, and thankfully not too strenuous. I dunno.
There really is nothing to talk about. Its been a boring couple of days tho, thats for sure.
I guess im out.
Peace

Yeah, today was quite the day. Didnt think I'd end up at the hospital gettin xrays and shots, but hey, I guess I just gotta stay on my toes, lol. So I'm at Elliots graduation party, and we're all in the back playing volleyball, and Im barefoot. Trust me, this has relevance. Anyway, someone on the other team hits the ball up the hill, and me, being the good guy that I am run up to retrieve the ball. Big mistake. On my way back down, I feel pressure under my left foot, and I realize I stepped on something. Little bit of blood, no biggie, Im ready for more volleyball. Thankfully my new friend Jess (Ill get to that in a minute) tells me to stop playing and go clean it. So i hobble up to the driveway, and lift my foot up to look at it, and the blood is like fricken Niagara Falls coming out of my foot. This is where I realize I might have a problem. We get Elliots mom and everyone takes good care of me, and my mom picks up and off to the hospital I go. There i have to get x-rays to make sure nothing is in the wound, soak it in some brown crap, get a tetnus shot, some IV drugs, and a prescription. YAY! What fun. Anyway, Im OK, and there's hardly any pain, which is odd to me considering how large this damn wound is. Its about an inch and a half long and crazy jagged. My foot wasnt cut, it was stabbed.
Anyway, the day wasnt all bloody and gross. Before my lovely incident, the party was going great. I met this girl, Jess, who is going to be a Junior this semester at Oneonta, the school that I will be attending in the fall. She's also involved in the theatre program, and said she'd help me get involved with some cool stuff. SWEEEET. I havent even been to school yet and I already made a new friend. She's wicked cool, so I think that my times at Oneonta will be quite fun. Im also lucky to already personally know my roommate, which is awesome. We both play the drums and are majoring in the same area, so this is gonna be awesome.
I dunno man. I think I might be rambling. I gotta get up at 7 tomorrow morning to babysit my little sister. Im watching her this week, and Im getting paid. Sweet deal. I just hope she isnt too hyper this week, because Im in no condition to run around after a three year old. I can hobble, but no running.
Alright bitches, Im out. LoL.

Yeah, like 3 months since Ive updated this thing. I always say that Im gonna start updating regularly, and then it never happens. Whatever I guess. Im so busy doing other stuff.
Well, I did it, I graduated high school. The ceremony was on June 24th. It was nice. I was just so proud to finally walk across that stage after 4 years, as a Henninger High School graduate. Now its time to move on to bigger and better things.
Been hanging out a lot with my boys from then tennis team. We all became really close this year, and now we're all best friends. We're the Boys of Summer, as we like to say. Its our last summer together here in Syracuse, then we all go our separate ways. Some are headed to RIT, one to Nazareth, another to MCC, one to Keuka, some to LeMoyne, and me, to Oneonta. Fun.
We've already said goodbye to some of our friends. Max went back to Germany last Thursday. That was one of the saddest things. Everyone was crying. It was horrible. And all I could think about was the fact that Im gonna have to do that so many more times before the end of the summer.
This past 4th of July weekend was amazing tho, even tho Max was no longer with us. We all went up to Lake Ontario to stay at Alyse's camp. It was so much fun. The typical day was to wake up, eat breakfast, go to the beach for a few hours, come back to camp, eat lunch, chill,play some volleyball, go to the beach for a few hours, come back to camp,play some volleyball, eat dinner, chill, go back to the beach for a few hours, come back to camp and sit around the fire for hours, and go to sleep, wake up and repeat...and we did this for three days. So much fun.
When we got back to Syracuse from camp we all went to Elliots to play some PING PONG. It was fun even tho im not that good, shoot i dont care. Dennis came over, and Im glad he did, because that was my last chace to see him. He's going into the Marines, and Sunday night was his last night with us before he headed off to boot camp. That was tough saying goodbye to him, but I can only hope and pray that he stays safe, and comes back home one day. Then on Monday, Masa went back home to Japan. I felt horrible because I overslept and didnt make it to the airport to see him off. I really wish I was there.
So far I've already said goodbye to three very good friends...whom I may never ever see again. At least my next goodbye doesnt happen until August 21st:(
I think Im done for now...hopefully ill update more frequently...
To my boys that have left us already:
I love you guys so much, and I wish you all the luck, safety and happiness in everything you ever do. Thanks for the memories...keep in touch...
with love
Andrew

Its been some time, as usual, since Ive updated this thing. I think I'll start of with commenting about the play. The drama club at my school did they show Fiddler on the Roof, March 19-21, and it was amazing. For 4 long months, that play was my life. I ate, sleeped and breathed that show. And when it was all over on the 21, I was proud to say that I was a part of that cast. Its really hard to explain how amazing it was, I guess you just have to experience it for yourself, with just a strong a passion as I have developed for acting.
Ive decided to double major in college. As opposed to majoring in Music Industry, and minoring in theatre, Im just going to major in both. I really cant decide which I want to do more, so I decided a degree in both would be right for me. That way, when the time comes, I can figure out which I want to do more, and if I dont want to do that anymore, I can always do the other.
Well, the tennis season is almost here. Practices began about a month or so ago, and our first match is next wednesday. Looking forward to it. I didnt expect coach to run us this much in practice, but Im glad he is. Im doing things I didnt think I could do. Today, thanks to a teammate, I completed the routine run for the first time, after I had already given up. Thanks to Dennis, I stuck with it, and finished. I was rather proud of myself. Hopefully Ill be in shape by the end of the season.
Like I said, the past four months the play has been my life. Now that its over, I have a little more freetime, which means I can hopefully get together with my band soon. I just know that Chris(vocals, guitars) is gettin antsy. I know he wants new material, and to play shows. So do I. Playing drums just isnt the same if there isnt a guitar to play along with. Im sure Chris has tons of new guitar ideas, and I have about a million drum ideas to play with, so hopefully this week or next we can get together and produce some new music. It may be a longshot, but Id like to have at least a 7 song EP out before summer. I think we can definitely do it, as long as we actually get together. I also want to try a different approach to the songwriting process. We'll see how it all works out.
Anyway...im gonna go do something...Im out
