i am listening to an amazing mix of music that i put on my mp3 player the other day right now and it just sounds spectacular, its a straight up indie mix that i really am enjoying right now, and oh yeh jimmy eat world is on it too, i love their song "work" off their new cd, its quality....i had an art history final today and that went pretty well, i hope it went well atleast, than english class today was pretty boring, didnt do too much of anything except learn how to cite different kinds of articles, lyke omg neato by golly...and now im back in my dorm typing away at this journal....i enjoy writing my thoughts down, its sort of like therapy in the way that you can let your thoughts be heard(by who, i dont know, but still)....i didnt go to bed last night till 530, that was probably dumb because im going to be ridiculously tired in about an hour or so, but i have class than, boo...there is snow on the ground outside and it really isnt too pretty looking, its actually kind of ugly looking, it doesnt even look white, it looks grey....and grey is the color of depression, or maybe thats blue, but it doesnt matter, they both are depressing....speaking of blue being depressing, pablo picasso went through a blue period when he was depressed and painted all his paintings blue, the old guitarist is my favorite piece from picasso in his blue period....enough about that though....i really need to go see the salvador dali exhibit at the art museum soon, hopefully this sunday i can do that up like a spaniard(sp?)......i feel like reading a book so im gonna get to that....so till next time.....later days

miss lovely asked, i am updating my journal, although it was no doubt about time....i believe a half month or so....well todays date is the 16th and that means that there is only 12 days left in the shortest month of the year....so lets review the last month, well maybe not the last month but ill go back to last thurs atleast, the 10th i believe that was, ahhhh yes it was indeed the 10th, i checked that little date and time thingy-ma-bobber in the lower right corner, i actually always use that....pretty neat if you ask me....but im really getting off topic, SO... back to what i was saying, so last thursday i went to a concert, ahhhh a concert, how nice, i went and saw the dillinger escape plan at the first unitarian church....ive never been to first unitarian so i really didnt know what to expect going into the show so it was indeed going to be an adventure to say the least....got their at 730 for doors at 800 and i didnt have a ticket, got in line and waited patiently in the cold with steve and mike....i observed that everybody at the show was wearing a black hoodie or stomping boots, it was rather interesting to say the least, scene kids crack me up, they think that they are different and all and unique and what not yet they all look the exact same.....funny, i laugh at all yall bitches ( i kid ). I mean i wouldnt neccesarily rule out that i dress according to my music but i guess i just like the style, na mean! so than was the weekend, that was fun, i got drunk or did i.....oh yeh i love caitlyn, shes t he best girlfriend in the world, and that brings on the infamous valentines day.....it was on a monday this year and that means that i had a full day of classes but i decided to not go to one of them, so booyah.....but onto the more important subject manner, caitlyn....this day is dedicated to her and she deserves all of the attention...we met up at around 730 that night and we exchanged gifts...ofcourse i was instructed to open mine first and i got two shirts and an 8x10 picture frame that had happy valentines day written along the top and paul and cait at the bottom and in it goes a picture painted by leonardo at dave and busters...love you....than we went out to ristorante panorama and had a great meal, we ate quail, i t was a delicous treat, like royalty.... i had a great valentines day, i love you!! so thats all he wrote....till next time....later days p.s. feeling great

so i havent updated in really the longest time...so here goes...im back in school now and january has come to a conclusion...the first month of 05' was okay, but in a way im just happy i got through some things...i feel like i have no real grip on life anymore, and as modest mouse once said i kinda just "float on". finding a nook in life isnt all that hard, but ive yet to find mine...im sure its all about chance and opportunity but we shall see how all that goes...i dont think but i also dont know if im the pnly college student who want just to skip college and get on with life...ya know, get an early start on things without all this bullshit meaningless schooling for 4 years, pshhh....i figure theres one thing that i want to keep the same in my life but honestly everything else could just end...i also feel that i am experiencing one of the best things in the world regardless to how depressing this entry sounds...thank you for bringing me those feelings...but i really would like to get away, pack up one day and leave with the one i love....just go somewhere and make a life instead of follow a path....oh well maybe one day my dreams will come true...i feel like this is enough for me to write about for i have possibly said to much...sorry this entry wasnt all happy but thats just how i feel...so till next time.....later days

another note: next month will be magnificent, its february, its cupids month

underoath - they're only chasing safety
say anything - is a real boy...
my chemical romance - three cheers for sweet revenge
blood brothers - crimes

favorite albums of 2004....

do whatever you need to do to hear this music, now, and it promise you should like, any comments on these leave it here...

i am listening to theSnaketheCrosstheCrown right now, they are good, i suggest them to everyone, the organ is a really cool sounding instrument and i would love to be able to rock an organ. i bet you not to many people want to play an organ in their life, thats probably why id like it. it is just so deep and infectious. insomnia? ever here of such a thing, i think that i no doubt suffer from this demon. i cant get to bed before 3 any night of the week, no matter what. i figure that my body clock is all sorts of fucked up, i sleep during the day and am wide awake at night, like a vampire. im beginning to crave the taste of blood (i kid). anyway i would love to go to the art museum at some point this weekend. i went back in the summer but never got around to going back for another visit. note to self remember to skip the eastern asia exhibits, they bore me. im moving to the new england area when i can and im going to own a ranch with a whole lot of interesting animals. im beginning to get all run down from college and stuff, it just eats away at you, and sometimes it feels like each day is just getting harder. not to cool in my book. speaking of books, i should get started on my book. dont know what it would be about but i would love to write down some things that would illustrate some crazy images in the readers head. since im really arty and stuff ;) but so tommorow is friday, two classes, one optional. score. im about to go to bed though, so till next time....later days....

ahhhh...let me wind down and start writing.....so, last night i went to go see tbs and that was just spectacular, well atleast they were.....missed the first band just cause, on second was funeral for a friend and they were pretty good but the singers voice was all sorts of fucked up from yelling or screaming or singing or whatever you call that.....next was atreyu who had an amazing stage presence. they moved in sync with each other as they played a few jams and the two guitarist at one point played each others guitars while they were strapped to the other guy, so they were pretty gnarly but im really not into their band as a whole so that set wasnt to pleasing soundwise, visual, yeh they rocked.....taking back sunday graced the stage with thier presence and immediatly set the crowd on fire....they sounded nice and clear and every song on the set list was just old school sweet. taking back sunday owned it and played a good decently long set. the crowd was surprisngly tolerable....i thought at this show especially since tbs got a little fame there was going to be drunk frat guys who want to start fights and young gay fat fangirls who listened to carson daly when he told them to listen to jarul way back when he was real cool....note to JA-your not cool......that ends that night.....next was today or yesterday or monday even i had three classes, they were pretty tolerable as well, like the tbs crowd.....got a little dinner and saw the village for desert....village was pretty good, id like to watch again to get it a little more, but i got the main idea.....than after all that fun stuff, came back to the "crib" and watched a little movie called "overboard" staring kurt russell who i swore was patrick swayze, but caitlyn begged to differ and swore it wasnt good ol' patrick, ofcourse, yet again, i was wrong.....since for some reason i always tend to be wrong, funny how that works, yes, i admit it, i paul peracchia, was wrong....i dont come with music recomendations this entry, sorry. i am going to stop writing though, so till next time.....later days.....

i believe that this could my longest hiatus away from this journal since its introduction over a year ago....i really have no reason for not writing or journalizng or blogging, whatever you want to call it, i havent made time for it....well lets see where do i even start with the spectacular happenings of my so called life<---that used to be the name of a show, but.....i never watched that trash....so anyway hmmmm lets see about a half month ago i got to go see coheed and cambria again, and wow that was just uber-sweet....claudio is a god and coheed and cambria are his angelic minions....they were even better than the last couple times that i have seen them....they played a full hour and a half set and it was just a non stop onslaught of noise.....the pits were pretty intense and this one kid attempted to beat the shit out of my by pulling my hair like a woman....but that is why you go to a concert with friends and family in my case....my brother, sal and camby helped me take care of that *for lack of better words "douche bag"* i mean i guess my hair was at its most pullable point for it was the longest i have ever had it and my fro was a big bunch of goodness....my fro is better than half the black people i have ever met/seen....bring it black people, bring it!...hmm so what else has happened.....well school has been very school like and it kinda sucks for the most part because learning sometimes isnt always the most eventful or fun thing to do....but its been schoolish...and to tell you the truth i dont think that i am even going to carry on about it anymore, consider the school subject dropped....so now that that is done, lets see.....it was my birthday the other day, the 4th to be exact and that went ever so well....Sure, ill explain in detail......well at 12 o'clock i recieved a phonecall and on the other end i was sung happy birthday by cait and gina and michelle and it might have been the best rendition of the song ever known to man.....and than the calls poured in ;) thanks to all of those who wished me a happy birthday, there is just something about it when people say those 2 simple words that can make you feel extremely good about yourself....its just something that is inscribed into our brains at a y oung age....so yeh alot of friends said happy birthday, thanks to yall...so than the next morning when you can actually celebrate my birthday rob said that he would sign me into law and society class for my birthday so i got to sleep in on my birthday till roughly 11......got to go out to lunch with my dad at the dark horse pub down in olde city<----sooo good....note to self, when i turn twenty one, must go to dark horse to party....looks like a happening bar to me , should be good than, but thats in two years and who knows if i even remember that in two years....so than that was over and i got on home to the dorm.....boo on me calling my dorm my home....well its not, home is home and home is good....but wow yeh i got off the subject there, so than on my birthday night i got to spend it with the one and only....it was raining so that really wasnt cool but its all good....so met caitlyn halfway and she was carrying my gift, which i wasnt aloud to know anything about for a good week....turns out to be the most amazing gift that i could have recieved, a scrapbook that was so well put together youd think it was professionally made.....i looked through it under our umbrellas and just enjoyed everylast detail on every last page, caitlyn, i love you! something that is made is better than anything that can be boughten. i dont even know how to say how much something like that can mean to me, amazing sweetheart, amazing....after we met up we went out to eat at the draught horse which is different than the dark horse where i went earlier in the day....that was nice and tasty and now that i think of it i could really go for some leftovers from that, mainly the fettuchini...mmmmm....after the ever so sweet dinner we went back to 1940 and stayed there in caits dorm for the night....that was good and fun, i got a good amount of sleep and kinda "missed" class in the morning....caitlyn, although you think your plans were spoiled by rain, they werent, everything was amazing and i loved every bit of it, thank you sweetheart! so that was my actual birthday.... good stuff....ahhhh the next night.....earlier this week i had decided that i had wanted to go to a concert the day after my birthday, my friend ally had asked me about the band moe and if i liked them....i believe that i had heard OF them before but no actual recordings...so i decided to give them a chance and download some of the stuff....i knew that they were a jam band and you really cant go wrong with a jam band...i liked the stuff so me casey rob drew and ally go to the concert down at the tower, the tower was awesome, acoustics were great and the band was just incredible, i never thought id see a band play for a good 3 hours....and there was just so many breakdowns and amazing solos....ahhh i dont even want to give away how good it was....if you want to go to a concert that will change how you look at music, go see a jam band, those guys no how to do it right....awesome night....and than we got back to the dorm....and our door was locked, so we were locked out....i slept in my suite mates room and i pretty much just passed out, soooo thats really all there is about all that.....lets see im going to the matchbook romance show later on this month so that should be just awesome....i also wanted to go see a static lullaby but i dont know how all that is going to work out....the music that i have been listening to lately has been kind of all over the place...i really am into a few bands though lately, they really havent stopped playing on my computer: they are......the sleeping, the arcade fire, broken social scene, cursive, elliot smith, minus the bear, say anything....those bands/artists have been just amazing these past few weeks...i cant get enough of em, but ofcourse i need to be in a certain mood to listen to some of them....but....all are good in their own sense.....so go download music by any one of those bands! NOW! nobody really ever does listen to my music recommendations at all....ahhhh this is one of the longest journals i have ever written, quite possibly the longest....so on that note im going to get on the go and get out of here and stop writing down my thoughts.... i dont know what else to write anyway, im sure i will soon though, so till next time....later days....

today is my birthday so i think that kinda calls for some comments if anyone even reads this anymore and yes i know i havent updated in ages....the journal will make a triumphant return soon, promise....

its real late, im real tired, but the bed still isnt calling my name....so looks like ill write a small entry...im about due...well so i have class bright and early in the morning that should be pretty bad especially because my computer wouldnt let me publish my website that i have due for this class...ahhh the anger i went through with that....that just sucked, i also have a paper due for anthro on friday.....boo on those two things and there suckiness.....oh yeh almost forgot tonight at the caf it was like new orleans night.....soooooo good, too good even...they had barbeque shrimp which just reminded me of bubba from forrest gump so i had to get them and crawfish and damn was that good....and then some spicy cajun style chicken salad.....it was absolutely amazing....one thing that wasnt to cool was that there was no live jazz, which was clearly stated on the poster outside the caf....it was all and all a great meal.....good company, good eats, good times.....right? music has been pretty good to me over the last month....ive been getting some pretty good stuff lately....id recommend the faint, deathcabforcutie, pretty girls make graves, and the snake the cross the crown...enough about that though...nobody wants to here me talk about what music im into at the moment.....i guess i said i would make this entry kind of short, so im going to follow through on that promise and stop writing....ill be back to write soon enough....right?......so till next time.....later days......

i suck at updating....some would say i suck at life, others would disagree, i thikn i am just incredible, i am so good.....im too good even...yeh thats all sarcasm i dont hate this life at all...quite frankly id say its a pretty alright one thus far....but anyway who cares about that heehaw...so the real reason i am updating is that i was kindly asked to by this girl who thinks she is real cool...i kid i kid....went down to the city and i picked out a pair of shoes that i liked but im not sure if ill be finalizing that purchase...cause i still do like these sweet pair of asics right about here-----> http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/633993/c/2717.html but im open to any other opinions im looking to go with the asics so keep it in the family....oh well sneaks are always fun to pick out...a sneaker can say alot about a person....youve got to have a nice pair of sneakers just because...they are that essential to have....it can make or break a style...but they can tell you what someones favorite color is, whether they play sports, listen to music, or just plain walk around a whole lot...my favorite show is always one that stands out not some air force one junk or whatever those gay nelly shoes are called...nelly you should be dead, your not cool<---thats the latest news* i believe that im getting a little sick and im listening to some music that a serial killer would listen to right now, im changing it as we speak....im down for a little coheed and underoath mixture jobber...this should be good coheed still just rocks hard and underoath gets the job done and bring the rock hah guess what i just said rock...like one of the bums on the corner ask me for much too often...i have seen some shit in this here north philly smack dab at the end of temples campus...i think im just about to go and not listen to serial killer music....so till next time i write....later days you couldnt be much better
