I want.. [May. 30th, 2008|02:04 am]
music back in my life.

Nothing is quite the same.

after last week... [May. 7th, 2008|04:34 pm]
[mood | blah]
[music |Thrice - digging my own grave & Radiohead - videotape]

..I realized I'm kind of bitter about the whole thing.

I'm not too sure how I feel about music anymore.  I learned something that I found pretty interesting one day in my Evolution of Jazz class last semester.  I learned that Miles Davis one day told the music world that he didn't hear( or feel..I can't recall) the music anymore adn he went into obscurity for some years.

I kind of feel like I know what he was talking about.

I don't know anymore.

People are strange...you think one thing and then you get kicked in your ass and suddenly you realize how the world works.  It's pretty disheartening.

I've locked into a little more of a depression since then and I don't know how I'm going to fix myself.

I just want that feeling again.

good news! [Apr. 22nd, 2008|12:55 am]
[mood | calm]
[music |Of Montreal - Heimdalsgate like a Promethean Curse]

Recently I went to a  Favella show last friday that they had at FIU.
It was pretty sweet and then came some band i never heard of until that day called Zambi and the Fish Hat Party.
They were fucking awesome live. Like...amazing.

So I invited Flavio, guitarist of Favella (whom I know from a previous show we played together when I was in Run, Johnny, Run), to my house after the show to come chill and maybe jam. He asked if he could bring these people over and I said yea and it was a great night.

I later found out that Nick, bassist of Zambi and the Fish Hat Party, wanted to start a band where he would play guitar and so I conviniently play drums and bass.  So he got my number and I'll see what happens...but I'm excited!
Nice group of guys. Pretty Chill.

"to be continued..." [Apr. 16th, 2008|12:20 am]
[mood | blah]
[music |modest mouse - satin in a coffin]

is now continued.

here was the scene ::
me: (walks in through door) uh hi guys.
Them: (continue playing video games..)
robert: hi
 I walk to kitchen and start doing some dishes i left unattended and ask why no body called me to tell me anyone was here...i also ask how long these guys were here

they were there for two hrs and no one called because everyone thought everyone else had called...yet that seems silly.
just seemed no one cared whether i was there in my own house or not.
to say the least...i was kind of pissed.

after awhile of this being ignored crap i kicked everyone out because me adn allison had plans to watch a movie alone together that night and these guys just came over completely unannounced, not even bothering to ask.


time passes by and eventually i got a call after work at 12 am and eddy said he wanted to meet for a band discussion or whatever.
i knew what the topic was about and i was fucking tired form my day so i said to do ti anotehr day but he insisted. he said it would take but 5 minutes..of course it took an hr.

and they couldnt even say it outright.  i had to say "so basically you guys are kicking me out of the band" to which the reply was "yes"
these guys, my best friends, treated me like crap for weeks and weeks while i was only ever nice to them and taken advantage of.

it really sucks, feeling so alone and betrayed.

and its been forever since i've played with anybody and its eating me up inside.

my desire grows stronger as i become more tired with my current daily routine.

I WANT TO FIND SOME GOOD MUSICIANS TO START A BAND.  
A GOOD one.

this is gonna be tuff

recently... [Apr. 15th, 2008|12:47 am]
I have seriously just been kind of a litttttttle bored with my life.
March was cool..or atleast for those 4 days at the Langerado music festival..i want to go every year...it was truely an amazing experience and i wish everyone could go with me next time.

But now its back to the daily grind and things just seem to be getting worse.  Nina had her 7 puppies and my dad is in North Carolina taking care of the restaurant he started over there which is full of incompetents and he ends up doing all the work all day.  It sucks.  Sometimes i feel my life runs parallel to his only my problems can be seen as far less yet still stressful to me.
I'm a simple guy, so i guess i get stressed a little easier.  My current problem is trying to balance school, work, and the rest of my time to get some free time for myself...the problem is that when I take my free time...it's time taken from other things i should be doing that jsut ends up piling up and shit.  
Since my dad is in NC i have to take care of my dog, Jean, his two dogs, Jack and Nina, and their 7 puppies, (that we named based on personalities:) Lola, Lila, Madden, Bentley, Earl, Bandit, & Piglet. It's really sucking because they are messy, as puppies tend to be.  It takes about an hour each morning, midday, and night to take care of the 10 dogs...what with feeding and picking up after and etc...it sucks to say the least.
On top of that there are mounds of clothes to be washed, aside from the towels for the dogs, and dishes to be washed, the house needs to be cleaned every four days because we decided to keep the dogs inside in order to keep them cleaner, then there's also the fucking mounds of mail my dad gets to this house which is like...insane amounts...then i haev to call him adn read him the bills and due dates and run errands for him every so often...dude it sucks major hardcore.

I'm really getting tired.  I planned to chill the beginning of this summer adn jsut hold down my job for the first part of summer and take my summer courses toward the end but the schedule jsut didnt work for me.  So now I'm going to school for the whole summer (two classes...but still) and ima gonna try working 20-40 hrs a week to get some money saved up.  

Did I mention that I'm tired? Well, I am.
________________________________

Aside from all this Allison brought to my attention that me not playing music must have a big effect on me seeing as how i did it every weekend for arounf 4 or 5 years.  The thougth didnt even really cross my mind until i wrapped my head around the time frame.

I've been seriously dying to jam with somebody or start a new band.  My previous band kicked me out..Eddy said there was "no chemistry."  i was pretty bitter because...it's bullshit and my "friends" pretty much used for me a few months before they officially kicked me out of the band...i got the cold shoulder from some of my "best" friends for a few months. 
I'll tell you how it went.  For months everyone seemed to kind of not talk to me much and when they came over for band practice they jsut wouldnt say anything to me and i'd ask for help only to be told to catch up somehow. then i started noticing the change in attitude towards me,,,it was like i wasnt there..i told allison and miguel and henry i think and was like..idk if its just me but its like they dont care whether im there or not..it makes no difference.  I was hit with it one day when i went in an jammed with them as they were practicing a few songs and i heard no response to anything i was doing and no one so much as looked at me the whole time..miguel and allison witnessed this and got pissed off.  that was about 5-6 weeks before i was officially kicked out of my band.  
From that pont on pretty much no one spoke to me..there were parties that everyone was at except me..who wasnt told about anything.  sure, i was busy but i always made time for practice.  I even let the guys come over to practice anyways because i was being nice.i wasnt gonna be a dick about it and sink to their level.  
I got really pissed one day because i was at a bday party for my lilttle cousin and i had left the windows in my house open in the morning to let out the smell of burnt whatever that happened in the morning.  When i got back to my house there to my surprise was robert, eddy, chris, and andrew in my living room playing super smash...i walked in with allison having had our day alreayd planned adn these guys came over unannounced and didnt so much as greet me in my own house when i came in through the door.
here was the scene ::
me: (walks in through door) uh hi guys.
Them: (continue playing video games..)
robert: hi

nvm.
...im tired...

still not sure [Sep. 27th, 2007|02:28 am]
[music |the postal service - nothing better & sleeping in]

i still dont know...
i dont know why im even in college at this point..it feels like its jsut a way to pass time..a stressful way to pass time...
i dont think i want to major in psychology anymore..i think i'll get bored of it.
i realized i just like the subject of psychology cuz im good with that kind of thing adn sociology but it bores me now to think of pursuing a career in that general field...
(on a side note: dejavu.)

i hate my enc bullshit class.
i hate writing bullshit analytical papers.
i started writing a book in my head the yesterday..i thought it was really cool...it kept me up for awhile ..im going to take down the idea somewhere incase i forget it again.

i started reading this book in the fiu bookstore today instead of braving the storm outsid eto et to my bullshit finite math lecture class.
it was called tucker max..fuckin funny little asshole stories.
look up the site..he has shit on there tuckermax.com
anyways..

allison turned me on to the postal service lately...they've been kicking my ass.

we're tryin to think of a band name for this new band we formed (we basically just added brown and weak to the ranks)
weak adn me were brainstorming ideas tonight adn i said i wanted to use something with the word forest in it..so after we ot to our cars, having discussed it for 15 or so minutes, we drive off and he calls me telling me he has an idea...isnated of calling ourselves the forest and the strait, he said "The Forest. The Strait"
im not sure if he implied the punctuation mark but i assume thats how we'd have to right it...and i've been deliberating using some sort of punction fith the name invoolving forest i wanted to use..but i like it... what do you guys think? 

anyways..
i dont know what im doing...im wokring two jobs and still dont have enoug  mon ey at the moment for the three boooks i still need to buy.  one job pays me utter shit adn the otehr i dont work almost at all.  (i work the fiu bookstore for about 15-20hrs a week closing everyday and get $6.67 an hr where as i get $7.15 an hr at starbucks but only work the mornings on saturday and sunday...this sunday they dont have me scheduled so that fucke dme up which is why im going to work in...two hrs. (4:45 am-8 am) covering quins morning shift cuz he closed last night..or tonight as i like to call it.

this week has been hell.
here's a quick recap:
monday- school starting at 10 finishing last class at 4...going to work immidiatey after finishing at 9.  getting home and studying from notes only because i cant afford the book for italian, realization of me leaving my italian dictionary (which we were allowed to use in the test) at home.
tuesday - school, then work till 9...study for my psychology test which i dont have the book for either becuse the stupid girl i work with kept forgetting to bring the damn book i've been asking her for for  two weeks to buy from her. it was a nice night.
wednesday - chill day...took test, offered to cover quin's morning shift for thursday (4:45am-8am) then i just finished my fucking lit analysis bulshit paper for english
thurs- is going to suck complete rectal fluid.

friday - hopefully a chill nice day.

i hate school.
i hate working for no money.
i hate that i have no time to arrange my time better
i hate that even if i did have the time to arrange my time better, i wouldnt know how to do it better than allison.
i am like a child.

lawl.

-edit-
note to self
consider getting a new computer chair soon.

life. [Sep. 5th, 2007|10:22 pm]
[mood | restless]
[music |alien ant farm ...truANT album]

alright...FIU is kind of a bore... my english class is asking for a three page paper tomorrow arguing this guy's rhetorical strategies in his paper...it is really hard for me to start..and its only the first draft... 
Italian killed me with work too
i start work at the fiu bookstore officially tomorrow
im going to work mon - thurs 4:30- 9 i think
and then saturdays and sundays ima be workign at my starbucks in miracle mile.
i need money...disgustingly.
i've only bought two books for my classes, i have $170(?) in the bank ..106 of which i need to pay the rest of my tuition that wasnt covered by my scholarships... i have less than a 1/4 tank of gas in my car adn i still haev to dive to my dad's tonight...
i'm dying.
lol...

Money sucks....for real though.
luckily i landed the job at this starbucks cuz it gives me 20% off at the bookstore so thats good and then i can get some free food every now and then...i have never been thiss frugal in my life.
it sucks having to pay for everything and im trying to ask my parents for as little as possible...my dad mainly..my mom is being mean about this shit..asking me why i didnt save my money adn shit...fuckin..she owes me $500 i lent her 3 years ago for her computer for work.
and she complains when i ask her for $90.

on top of everything Allison left.  It's hard to go from being with someone literaly everyday...even waking up to them a lot of the time and then having them be gone...there's thta empty passenger seat in the car and no one to play some good music for me and know my mood perfectly without having to ask me.
ugh..
i dont know.

i'm so scared. i feel like i'm on my own. idk anything... i get restless, idontknowidontknowidontknow.

 

-EDIT-
Fuck the hw..i'll make it up later.
i'm tired of today.

[music |Portugal. The Man - the bottom]

i started at fiu monday...which was terrible because i start at 10 am and stay there until 9 pm
today was w/e...i like my classes for the most part..i guess. well, i wouldnt really say i like them, theyre jsut w/e.
Money is a major issue of course.
i have $12.15 in the bank and less than $30 on me
i need all my books.
idk how this is going to work.

Allison is leaving Friday to Germany.

I don't know what i'm going to do with myself.
I'm gonna be college boy and shit.
F*ck money.

p.s.
Sorry i havent been tlaking to anyone...i've been sleeping over my dad's house mainly because its only a few blocks from campous and the commute is a lot easier on my pocket than it would be leaving form my  house, plus i'd have to wake up even earlier.
SO with that said, i have no internet at his house (no computer).
Therefore, i cant talk to almost anyone unless they txt me.
miss you guys.

and had a wonderful time with my Allison.

what everyone told me, for once, was right about the movie.
transformers still kicks ass..id see it again.

brian is a fake douche
and will soon be kicked out of the band.
only reason he isnt is because we havent taken new badn pictures to redo the myspace site.

tara takes great picture, i miss talking to her.

"Update!

July 4th, 2007 - 31 Comments

 

Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been waiting to have the actual masters back in our hands before I told you all that WE ARE DONE! Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. We actually finished mixing a couple weeks ago, but have been going back and forth with the mastering. I wanted to wait to say we’re done till we were completely done, but I felt bad for holding out for so long. Anyhow, I was supposed to get the revised mastering back today but it didn’t arrive for some reason. We should have the discs within the next couple days and if we OK it, then it’s all done. Other than that, we’ve started our search for a new label to get this project out to you guys. We’ll keep you all informed as things develop. But yeah, being done is nice. I was nearly going insane by the end of that. Phew!
