an interesting subject recently popped into my head; i thought about how, with my friends, we'd discussed things like who would be the first one out of our group of friends to marry or how they would be as spouses and the like but i was thinking a little dirtier as of late. essentially i was thinking about how many of my friends are probably closet freaks and/or how everyone would stack up as partners. yeah, seems kind of weird to think of friends like that but i know that my friends are really open minded and that plenty of people have dated 'within the circle,' even at this moment.
i think it would be interesting to have that conversation with just the guys and then with the girls and then as a collective group. i mean, i can see some people that wouldnt be so outright with their answers but i think in the right environment the truth could be spoken. i look forward to discussing this in the near future.

Six hundred miles will be soon cut two inches from...
thankfully the week has went quickly.
some decent classes and friends definitely helped getting through this period of time. pretty much from this point until next week saturday should be pretty alright. last night we went to a dance party to kind of celebrate natalies bday and such. tonight is har actual birthday party which will involve a lot of booze and friends and good times. i plan on getting pretty gone as i havent really drank hard in a decently long while.
back to the dance party though, i realized how much i didnt want to dance while being sober as opposed to how pumped i am about it when im at least a little drunk. i just felt awkward becuase i figure i dont look so great moving around and usually we're in a big crowd at these dance things. the contrary was true this time, as at some points we were actually the only group even dancing. pretty much the DJs did a lousy job and nobody wanted to dance to what they were playing. i had higher hopes seeing as the last party they had, they had a pretty decent playlist. i guess its just hit or miss.
not too much else developing. im sure by this time next week ill have a lot more to talk about.

so easter and this weekend have come and gone. haven't done to much this past week except play a decent amount of Madden 08 and listen to some cool music.
saturday was a pretty badass day though. hung out for the first half of the day, then went to Swiss Chalet with ash and james (sweet i know) and then went on our merry way to rochester after jes arrived. luckily we had a good atmosphere regardless of a 'rogue' member of the party, but we seemed determined to have a good time no matter what. i hadnt seen jes in a while and it was cool that we could be cool like usual. we ended up hanging out in julius' apartment and drinking/chatting until it was time to get in line for Girl Talk. between myself, james, julius, jes, and ryan we killed a 1.75 liter bottle of Jack. i was pleasantly surprised, as was everyone else. the concert was pretty sick. after a rap duo that was alright, Girl Talk came out and put on a sick set. we ended up at the very front so we were on stage right away, dancing the night away. if what he played is anything like his new album, i'm going to be pretty happy with it. a lot of new songs implemented, some that surprised me, and some oldies that are goodies. after the show we took our sweaty butts home and departed. it was a genuinely good time.
today was alright. i woke at noon (we hadnt gotten in until 3 the night before) and immediately dreaded my life once i realized that both sides of my family would be over in three hours. thankfully, mostly to the fact that my cousins were sans significant others and a little help from mr. bacardi, i had a decent time. good conversation, lots of laughs, and a breath of fresh air concerning my cousins that i was losing my attachment to as of late.
now i get to look forward to powering through this week to get to next week; the week of four concerts in five night. can't wait.

sunday proved to be decent, as my 100 degree fever went away by midday after a long, 4 hour nap that followed after waking up at 9am. pretty much now I've just been dealing with a steady head cold and a sore throat with a minor headache. hopefully now i can start to eat as well.
my goal now is to pump myself full of stuff today so that I'm alright for band practice later today and then go from there. I just got back from UB where i decided to skip my classes because I didnt want to deal with their BS and instead handed in my camera that I borrowed and captured the video from my film. luckily half of the footage that I shot with the shitty camera came out alright with some color tweaking. the bad news is that the other half looks like crap. not that it isnt in focus or is grainy, it just looks really subdued, with very little color information. oh well, thats what it's going to have to be. I also figured out, from listening to my collection of instrumental music, that the track "Logger" by Sharks Keep Moving is going to be the song that will accompany the movie. should provide a nice background.
I'm off to get my vitamins C and B on to make sure I'm feeling well for the rest of this week, especially since I plan on boozing on friday for the party and saturday for Girl Talk in Rochester. should be a great time.
happy st. patricks day :)

tres.
so today sucked. i woke up rather early to discover that, out of nowhere, i was sick as hell, essentially with what i had two weeks ago; headache, body ache, cough, nose problems, sensitive eyes. it was pretty awesome. didnt do much, watched lost and dance crew, passed out/napped, went between the ps2 and the computer a bit.
i tried to watch The Fountain because it has been on my computer for a while and it was going to be on HBO, but i couldnt stand more than fifteen minutes before losing interest. my initial attraction to it was that Mogwai had done the soundtrack but everything was just so weird and i was so lost that i couldnt bear it. nothing was explained to even the smallest extent, be it any relationships or any of the back and forth time/reality cuts. maybe ill give it another try down the road.
note to those who get sick and want to listen to quiet, gentle music: Sigur Ros is a good idea.
hopefully i'll wake up feeling a little better, as The Guest Speaker has some recording to do. we're going to be putting out a DIY acoustic EP to help generate some cash so that, along with the upcoming show on April 5th, we'll be able to get into the studio sooner rather than later. but along with the recording, i want to be bale to drink a bit at the party tomorrow night. ill probably just have like 3 or 4, or a 40 if john goes out, but its just been a while since ive been in that environment. but then again, i would rather be healthy for next weeks party as I'm DJing it/bringing the music. we'll see i suppose.
finished shooting my film yesterday. it's going to be titled "Idem" which is the latin word for "the same." you'll figure it out if you see it. my only worry is that i had to use a rather shitty camera yesterday and colors didnt look so right so hopefully Final Cut will help me salvage them and the film will look alright. i think Sigur Ros will end up being the music, or something similar because it can be more backround/non distracting but we'll see. that'll be my task for sunday.

dos.
so the week has been an interesting one so far. there was some band practice, some chilling, some halo, some ted's hot dogs, some billiards. there was some hookah and tea, some snow fort action, some snow fort collapsing, some ridiculous rap movie, and some friends i haven't seen in a while. there was some playlist work for a party, some naming of my film, and some new music. and its only thursday.
today i have some errands to do, and then there will be band practice and then i get to head over to natalies to finish filming my movie that should be pretty interesting. then, there will be the, at least at the moment, weekly bowling occurring. should prove to be a solid night. as for friday i have no idea what'll happen, hopefully something cool. saturday theres a party at the lasalle house that ill be at for marias birthday/st pattys. i kind of want to celebrate st pattys on sunday as well but due to a lack of funds and a place to party, not much will probably happen.
and then next week its back to school. ill most likely be editing my movie on monday and tuesday so i can hand it in on wednesday. still have no idea what music im going to use for it but thats something i have a little time to think about after everything is shot.
in other news, mad props to We Are Scientists for putting out an album that was way different than their older stuff but still in their realm. I've pretty much just been listening to that and the rap i had to get for the playlist all week. the new album, Brain Thrust Mastery, is straight out of the 80's in at least half of the songs, particularly with the 4th track, Lethal Enforcer. but its oh so good. i love it. now heres to hoping theyll come back to Buffalo soon, as it was two or three years ago the last time they were here and they were great then. i can't even fathom how cool these songs would be live.
that seems to be all at the moment.

uno.
so this is the new blog. feels kind of weird, seeing as i was used to something else for a few years but i'm sure i'll warm up to it.
pretty much, nothing too spectacular has gone on recently and probably the polar opposite. i've had to begin contemplating (if you havent already heard) the decision on whether to go to school in florida for two straight years and leave my friends behind or not. it would literally mean going away, living on my own, going to classes for 40 hours a week but getting my bachelors degree in two years. its just that everyone back home will be finishing their last two years of college, turning 21 and possibly moving away and i'd miss all of that. i pretty much fear losing contact with people and/or not being able to reconnect with people. yeah, sean did it for a year and reconnected with most people but not everyone, and those people are still around. who knows who'll still be here when those two years are up. nopt to mention that half my friends are a year older than me and theres a better chance of them being gone when i get back because they'll already be a year out of college by that point. needless to say i'm a bit worried and still havent made a concrete decision.
so yeah, thats a load of fun. other than that theres been some concerns with some of my current school work, what with schedules for shooting my film getting all wacky. luckily i got some extensions but we'll see how it all turns out. i need to find a job, hopefully by the end of this month though i know that the first week of april is going to be packed so i might just have to hold off until after then. or i'll find somewhere thats really laid back and wont mind me missing a day here or there.
so i dont have much to discuss today, i'm just looking forward to enjoying the rest of my week of spring break with 30 degree weather and looking at the coming events in the next month. keep it real.
