Last night i was higher then i've ever been, we passed a pipe around from 3 to a little past 4:20. I didn't really know what was going on. At about 10:30, i woke up this morning, and started laughing, outloud. I just thought it was really funny that it was 10:30. I got up again at 3, and almost felt normal. Now it's 9:40, and i'm feeling sub par.
what if summer doesn't make everything good again? then where will i be? I think i'm coming home on the 24th or 25th. I'll be looking into the plane ticket soon.
I got rid of the comments again, but not in the archives, so if you're reading those archives, you can still read the comments.
I think i'm going to not post the archives for when i was in bc, i'll just drop them all together. Cause i'm going to tell my bc people what my blog is, and i dont want them to read anything that might be weird.
hard to believe it's been close to a year that i havn't lived in pei. Seems i've been here for longer then that, but havn't been not home for quite that long. it makes sense in my head.
Have a good one guys.
Today i was walking down the road with jessica, singing, and this guy on a bike looked like he was going to run into me, but he didn't, he went off a bit of a hill, and jumped down off the sidewalk to a parking lot, and before i could even think i said "Damn, that's rad." And i was pleased to hear myself say rad. I thought it was a cool word.
So yeah, i wish i had more to say. I really do. But i dont.
Recently on paulette's blog, i've recalled some vague memories of a cat named chaos. I feel that it's likely orange, and a cartoon. This is pretty much all i know. Some people threw out the idea that it was the evil dude from inspector gadget's cat, but his name is mad cat. Due to the curiousness in josh and paulette, i feel that i'm not making this up. I've tried checking the web, but i can't seem to find anything. If anyone knows then it'd be cool if they said something.
in other less lame news, it's the weekend.
Okay, now i need to best say the exact thing that i said before. sigh...
I redid the blog design because the first one wasn't loading easily for me or others.
Happy day kent. I hope it treated you well, you adult you.
Matthew good is probably the best live singer i've ever heard. This man has an exceptional voice. And it's not like i didn't know he did before, but in all honesty, i believe his live performance puts any vocals he put on any album to shame. Hearing him sing live made his recordings seem so hollow and empty. I was really close to him, which was pretty special. By close i mean that i had my arms rested on the stage. I had a few little chats with the lead guitar guy. And i'm not so proud to say i dont know his name. He played a left handed guitar, which made no sense to me.
One really cool thing about the show was the little banter that matt would go through between songs. He talked a bit about how michael moore badmouthed the war when he won that award. That was cool. "Yeah Michael Moore!!!" - me. He was talking to some crazy guy that was dancing all nuts, and he said "hey, bud, in the future i think it might be smart to lay off the pcp. (holds for laughter) Nah, i'm just kidding. It's a natural high. Rock on, brother." I enjoyed the 'rock on brother' quite a bit. One other quote, and the info that it comes with that some of you may find interesting: "Does anyone here like the who?" (scattered applause) "not much eh? well, why would you? They're only the best rock band of all time" then bang, our own matthew good breaks into a cover of the who. Pretty cool.
Some of the other musical highlights include the playing of symbolistic white walls, (i will take the world and make it mine again), Generation X-wing (i used to dream about your sister), and for me, the highlight of the show, avalanche. wow. This was so good it's scary. His vocals were staggering. Someone must remind me to go back to vernon, because i left my jaw there. y'know. because i dropped it. That joke had solid timing eh? But seriously folks, avalanche. live. good lord.
note: i didn't actually think about anyone's sister, i just thought that it fit.
There was a fire alarm, and we had to go outside. yay for evacuation. When we were outside matt came by, with a video camera, and he taped the big croud of us, and he waved, and gave a thumbs up. When we got back indoors he took out the camera again, and said he needed before and after shots. He then told us that he'd put the tape up on his website. If i'm correct, i should be near front and center in both of these shots, unless the indoors one passed over my head. And i'm actually fairly certain i'm not in the front outdoors. But visible? probably. check the video out at matthewgood.net if it's up yet. if not, then feel free to listen to matt's latest over quicktime.
When we got back in, he put us all back in the mood with a little k-i-c-k-a-s-s, and i'm sure you all know what that spells. The end of the show, which is often called an encore featured matt solo on the acoustic. It was pretty breath taking. Started with strange days. gaaaa. cough. ahem. Gaaaaaaaa!! better. So yeah, uh, i really wish that i could put into words how good this was. At first, i'm sure like most people, i was sorta singing along. Cause everyone in the place knew the words. But very shortly, other then matt, the place was dead quiet. This was fucking special. He changed the melody around a little, held some notes longer then normally, sang some parts half under his breath, exploded into beauty a few times. shit. It's all because of the change in melody, I stopped mouthing the words, and just listened, relaxed a little, took it all in sorta thing. It was surreal.
The last two songs, the acoustic ones which followed strange days, i hadn't heard of either of them before. He said before the acoustic part "do you guys want new songs or old songs" and since i thought it was more fanlike, i yelled for old songs. He said he'd play both, and then fired out strange days. I thought that old songs would just mean songs that weren't from avalanche, but i was very wrong. The last two songs he played were both pre-last of the ghetto astronauts. And as i mentioned, i hadn't heard either of them till last night. It made it kinda special though, cause i was able to completely focus on the exact moment of everything he was doing, not thinking ahead of what was happening. not going over the lyrics in my head, I was there for all of it. Totally into the music. Then it ended, and i was happy, and inspired.
Thanks for the e-mail josh, i've been feeling a little lonely lately, and it was really great. Kinda got me out of the funk i'm in.
I love you guys a ton. And i'm looking forward to going home. I should be there within the month.
i dont like bad times, but in hindsight, they make average times look good. Just wait till i get some good times again, they'll seem unreal.
But i'm lonely now,
and i dont know how,
to get it back to good.
I know,
But i still,
believe that ignorance is my best defence.
So go on,
Wreck me,
Funny how i carry on and not be taken over.
Will not roll over on anyone, cause anyone would stand up on my side.
If you've never heard that silence it's a god awful sound.
So please hand me the bottle, i think i'm lonely now.
And please give me direction, i think the hurt set in.
and i dont feel nothing, yet.
yeah,
and i dont feel nothing
and i dont feel nothing
there's nothing to feel good about here.
in other exciting news, last night i had a really good time. Due in the most part to the consumption of some things that aren't healthy. I also hit up the casino for a hundred dollars, which financed most of the evening. All in all, i'd say things are looking up. Untill of course monday brings back the horrible stench that which is education.
I'm really looking forward to going home to see you guys again.
Quote that i just thought of: "hey, simon, the bartender called, he wants his mug back" - james pate.
Last night i was really messed up. There is alot of events that took place that i dont remember. I remember having a good time though, that's what counts.
I've always wondered if i would ever think something like "i wonder if i'll remember this tomorrow" then not remember it. It's a neat thing to wonder.
That's all i've got for today.
I lost about 65$ on one hand, ace high flush takes down a king high flush.
My last 25$ or so was trip fives king high, losing to trip fives ace high.
I'm really not concentrating well, i feel kinda wrong. I needed that money, it was supposed to pay for this month of singing lessons, and for avalanche, but now it looks like i'll need to figure something else out. that's a serious bummer.
i think i should sleep to escape the negative feelings, but i'm too weird to sleep right now. Argggg.
I played ball today, it was good to use some energy. But before the first game, my ring finger on my right hand got popped something fierce, it's still swolen, and i'd say it's a touch on the blue side. But the worst was during the second of our 4 games, i got popped again, pointer finger, left hand. So i was in quite a muddle by the end of it. I didn't have my killer handles.
I'm thursty.
Did anyone download turtles have short legs? it's a song by can. If anyone has played parappa tha rappa then they'll recognise the tune. It really is a good tune. it's piano, and i'll call it "up beat".

Okay, chaos the cat, is from sesame st. The riddle is solved. I was right about the orange. But everyone is truly a winner.

I'm not sure if this is going to make any sense, but i had a brief thought that i thought was cool. I was reading dave's blog about how he thought he'd become more like himself. I was thinking it'll be neat to sorta meet eachother again, cause i'm sure we've all sorta changed a little over the past year. We'll be hanging out, and every once in a while, we'll start to see who we've all become. And i think that'll be cool.
Today i was walking down the road with jessica, singing, and this guy on a bike looked like he was going to run into me, but he didn't, he went off a bit of a hill, and jumped down off the sidewalk to a parking lot, and before i could even think i said "Damn, that's rad." And i was pleased to hear myself say rad. I thought it was a cool word.
So yeah, i wish i had more to say. I really do. But i dont.
So i was hoping that someone responded to my chaos question, then i realized that i didn't have comments. After not enough thought, i put them back. Even though i enjoyed their lacking.
It's the weekend, yeah hoo.

doesn't it suck when you make a big post, and then it doesn't work. I feel that it sucks. I hear that i feel it sucks.

Look, it's new. wow.
I think i'm done this for a while, like most things it's really not doing it for me.
everything's going to be alright, rockabye rockabye.
i dont like bad times, but in hindsight, they make average times look good. Just wait till i get some good times again, they'll seem unreal.
There's no one around who can tell us what we're here for.
I couldn't tell if anyone here was feeling the way i do.
But i'm lonely now,
and i dont know how,
to get it back to good.
I know,
But i still,

I'm done surprisingly early. My classes end on the 2nd, and my exams are wrapped up on the 11th. I'm going to spend a bit of time with my dad following that, so i'm not sure when i'll be home, but it'll almost certainly be before the 26th. yeah.

Quote that i just thought of: "hey, simon, the bartender called, he wants his mug back" - james pate.
if i'm not perfect now, i never will be.
I played a lot of guitar today, burnt audio for being and avalanche, and i'm feeling so-so.
Last night i was really messed up. There is alot of events that took place that i dont remember. I remember having a good time though, that's what counts.
I've always wondered if i would ever think something like "i wonder if i'll remember this tomorrow" then not remember it. It's a neat thing to wonder.
That's all i've got for today.
This hurts, quite a bit. There was a poker tournament tonight, and i lost, and it hurts, quite a bit.
I lost about 65$ on one hand, ace high flush takes down a king high flush.
My last 25$ or so was trip fives king high, losing to trip fives ace high.
I'm really not concentrating well, i feel kinda wrong. I needed that money, it was supposed to pay for this month of singing lessons, and for avalanche, but now it looks like i'll need to figure something else out. that's a serious bummer.
i think i should sleep to escape the negative feelings, but i'm too weird to sleep right now. Argggg.
Today, i won some money playing poker, and i got a barrel load of good emails, 8 to be exact. I'm excited. However, they weren't without their junk mail "hmm, 'show her a big one'? what could that mean?"
I played ball today, it was good to use some energy. But before the first game, my ring finger on my right hand got popped something fierce, it's still swolen, and i'd say it's a touch on the blue side.

is there a point in writing about being unhappy?
i feel as though i may be close to writing a song, but i'm not sure what it's about yet or how the music will go throughout. I just have a bundle of lyrics, which follow two different but equally half decent stories. And i've started to try to put them to some music, although i desperately need a chorus and a transition to it.
