im not in a very good mood. at all. this was a really tough week. i guess im having trouble adjusting to dealing with so much work, and at the same time just dealing with normal things. i guess thats whats so bad about high school, and maybe even junior year in particular. theres so much more to think about, in addition to actual work (and not just for classes but clubs and everything).

i sort of hate feeling alone. i guess i was lucky to not feel this way over the summer. i feel like everyone has somebody but me.

especially when the october wind
with fists of turnips punishes the land
some let me make you of heartless words.
the heart is drained that, spelling in the scurry
of chemic blood, warned of the coming fury.
by the sea's side hear the dark-vowelled birds.

havent updated in a while...

highlights of the day worth mentioning:

laughing through 90% of the IB "orientation" assembly because of kathryn.
paying terrance a dollar to eat a cicada during cross country. i'm not positive he swallowed it, but he def chewed it for a while (we could hear the crunching).

a look back

Wed, 31 Aug 2005 23:51:35 GMT

so august is ending.

this summer may have been the best summer i can remember so far. i feel like i really did a lot this summer.

highlights:
-getting drivers permit/actualy driving
-landmark volunteers - working and getting stuff done, meeting really really cool people, james taylor concert
-family vacation to quebec, lake placid, connecticut, new hampshire / making a cool vacation video / spending time in nature
-getting away in general
-coming home in general
-wisdom teeth out (a bad highlight, but now i dont have to get it done later in life)
-bike ride to and from long beach with adam
-going to the beach
-spending as much time at the village green as possible
-spending as little time in "town" as possible
-train ride alone / going to nyc alone
-reading good books (malcolm x, 1984)
-4h in general - meeting and getting closer with amazing people, passing cit
-going back to candlelighting and seeing everyone
-spending time with different people (mets game)
-writing a lot of music
-making money for spain by doing nothing
-jet skiing!
-spending time with friends

i dunno, maybe some people who read this will think its interesting, and hopefully everyone feel equally as good about their summers. im really looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and hearing what everyone did. im really happy right now.

cause now we say goodnight
from our own separate sides
like brothers on a hotel bed

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 03:52:24 GMT

everyone (including myself) is so different over the summer.
i cant tell whether in general its mainly for the better or worse.

i wish you'd call me.
both of you.
but you won't even see this.

Mon, 22 Aug 2005 03:53:45 GMT

i know i like someone when i start getting jealous.

met game

Fri, 19 Aug 2005 03:06:47 GMT

met game tonight. took a 3 45 train in with steve, nick, danny, dan, greg, carlos, and kieran to shea. the mets lost 5 to 0 but it was still a fun game. we gambled a little, i lost three dollars, then made one dollar back. i think danny got like nine dollars which was pretty good. i also made an effort to eat as much as i could. i had a knish, french fries, ice cream, and cracker jacks. i guess i could have eaten more but i didnt want to spend all my money. so yeah it was a cool day/night. its just nice to have a guys night out every now and then. and i also dont usually hang out with these guys all the time so that was really cool.

filming tomorrow with danny. then gishs!

happy birthday gish!

tonight in long beach

Thu, 18 Aug 2005 03:36:59 GMT

so tonight i went to long beach to see lauren. i got sort of lost but eventually i got to her house. then we walked around and she showed me where she works and we saw jess. then we went to the beach and tried to watch the sunset. we could sort of see it, but the sun didnt set directly over the water. we sat in a lifegaurd chair and hung out, and then went for pizza. i got two mushroom slices. they were really good but i couldnt finish them. then we went back to her house on the water and went in her hot tub and sat on her dock. the whole night was a lot of fun. it made me really wish i lived in long beach (or on the water, at least).

today

Wed, 17 Aug 2005 02:45:38 GMT

so today i went into the city to see steph. it was actually the first time i ever rode the train by myself.

we met at the 7th ave enterance to penn station and then we walked one million blocks to central park. we found a carousel and went on it, but it was too fast for me. then i got a pretzel and a smoothie and we sat by some water. then we walked some more and stopped in some stores. i got some shirts at h&m. it was nice seeing her again and i hope to see some more landmark people soon.

i got home and went running. i passed the pro-life man protesting. i was really tired from running and not in a mood to be like "what right does an old man like you have to tell women what to do with their bodies?" so instead i just repeated "you're a fucking piece of shit, your mother should be ashamed, etc." he was pretty dick today. usually he just says "what are you getting so excited about?" and grins at me. today he was telling me i was "too young to even have this conversation" and i had "no vocabulary." then as i was leaving a guy who was probably a freshman or sophmore in college followed me on his razor scooter. this was that conversation:
"hey man, you gave that guy a pretty hard time. he never bothers anyone, so you shouldnt bother him." - boy
"i think he bothers that doctor by standing outside his house and protesting ever week." - me
"well if you come on this block again i'll murder you." - boy
"thats funny, because that old man was just telling me how murder is wrong." - me
"say that to my face." - boy
by that time he was in his drive way and i wanted to finish my run. if anyone wants to come wtih me to have a similar experience next tuesday, feel more than welcome.

tonight i stayed in and watched "the truman show." its so good.

home from 4h

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 03:59:47 GMT

so i got home today from 4h...

it was amazing. im not sure i met too many new people other than counselors, but i got closer with a lot of people i wasnt very friendly with last year.
cits 05! maybe i'll try and put pictures up later. maybe quotes too.

i slept the whole day and ate. then saw sam who i hadnt seen in six weeks. then went to lomo's for her party and saw all the theatre people i hadnt seen since the beginning of the summer. then i saw liz adam jeanette and gish who i had missed also.

missing camp, but its good to be home.

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 01:19:31 GMT

leaving tomorrow morning....write me....

tonight, good to be home

Fri, 29 Jul 2005 04:42:43 GMT

tonight i was with adam, jeanette, nicole, simon, sarah, and rich longo.

it was good to be home. we just walked around a little, and didnt really do anything special.

jeanette had the line of the night. i cant remember it really (comment if you remember it) but it was something like:
"its only cute when gay guys hold hands."

i also declared i was a MILF, which had adam laughing.

bad tv

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 02:38:50 GMT

so the weirdest thing happened.

so i watched the andy milonakis show, which i decided is the worst thing on television. like, i felt it was so bad, i was offended. not even by anything in particular. maybe i felt embarassed that the older generation who produce this show try and aim it for people in our generation, who would like this sort of thing. if this is so (unfortunetley many people tell me they love the show) then i really dont want to be a teenager right now.

so yeah, i felt "offended." so i was just imagining getting really offended at something and what it would be, and how id write a letter to mtv. the thing that popped into my mind was many andy saying things were "gay."

then i came across this part of an article in usa today:

[Milonakis was making short films that circulated on the Internet when Kimmel noticed one a couple of years ago in which an unkempt Andy got up from bed, grabbed a guitar and ad-libbed The Super Bowl Is Gay. In the song, he delineated how nearly every item in his room was gay, too. ]

the point of this post was to say such a weird coinsidence occured, but after re-reading it it seems my point was its a terrible show (i also have many more spelling errors than usual). anyway its a horrible show. dont watch it.

just relaxing

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 05:03:53 GMT

nothing new at all.

monday went into down with danny, did really nothing (but i got a flaming lips cd).
tuesday spent the whole day recording my new demo. night went into town, did nothing,
wednesday worked in the city with my dad. night went into town, did nothing.

town seems to be very boring.

tomorrow night im rehearsing for dannys movie.

friday im going to a film festival, possibly with lauren.

then saturday my family leaves for vacation. we're not exactly sure where though. we were supposed to do england and scottland but now my parents think it wouldnt be safe, so we may just be going to new hampshire.

missing landmark. getting excited for 4h.

landmark volunteers

Mon, 11 Jul 2005 01:31:26 GMT

so now that im home and i have some time im going to reflect a little on my last two weeks with landmark volunteers.

all the people there were really nice and mature. zack, stephanie, ella, brian, andrew, andi, dan, danny t, seth, kim, amanda, meriden, and lauren. unlike 4h, most of them live pretty far away (minnesota, washington, california, michigan) so im not sure when i'll see a lot of them again. i'll also missed the people we worked with at shakespeare and company. not really the people at tanglewood.

i kept something of a journal when we were there. some of you who werent there may find it interesting, probably not. those of you from landmark please let me know anything major i forgot. this is just a summary:

day 1 - meeting everyone, pizza hut, sweaty man
day 2 - shakespeare and co, building trial, old timer, lawn chairs with ryan, mini golf
day 3 - set production help, rain, danny t tic, hospital, home 3am
day 4 - gardening, mall, "war of the worlds", picking up girls, cranium
day 5 - tanglewood, raking trails, sports night, catch phrase
day 6 - sweeping shack, relay race
day 7 - sweeping, cleaning bcd, williamstown, "batman begins"
day 8 - off, hike
day 9 - james taylor concert, laundry
day 10 - weeding
day 11 - bowling, "do you like chez?"
day 12 - surprise meal, talent show, chef threw us bbq
day 13 - work at bcd, boston symphony orchestra prelude, compliment circle
day 14 - departure

maybe i'll say more about the experience later. its been a day and i miss it and everyone so much.

Thu, 16 Jun 2005 19:20:20 GMT

i havent been able to update.

my computer broke (im on my dads now) which sucks because i cant access any of my movies or anything, and i cant work on my new demo.

last night watched "life as a house" with sam and lauren.

so busy studying.

Sat, 11 Jun 2005 03:34:28 GMT

today was CRAZY mainly because school is almost over.

highlight: library. 8th period. it is dead quiet. steve ryan yells "this is my last time in the library ever!" but like, really loud.
then 9th period i threw jenn's chemistry review book out the window. it wasn't far at all, but it was fun to see her response.

after school i went to gino's with everyone in the world (kieran, sam, adam, lauren, jackie tiss, emily rosenblum, chris atkins). it was cool, because because most of those people i dont normally see.

tonight iw anted to stay in to study, but i invited sam over to study with me. we studied for fifteen minutes, then found a disney songbook and sang for the rest of the night. our main hit was "colors of the wind" and we taped it. there is this one crescendo but we only did it once because all the other times we couldnt stop laughing. at the crescendo, the first time at least, the walls in front of us opened up and we were on a stage looking out at an audience and behind us the walls opened up and it was a full orchestra.

school ending

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 02:19:01 GMT

maybe im a loser, but im actually getting sad this year is ending.

i mean, the summer will be awesome, but for the most part this was a really good year.

its scary to think of the people i wont be able to see for a while. whether its people who i just wont see until school next year, or people who are graduating who i wont see for who knows how long.

i'll post my summer addresses soon.

drama banquet

Tue, 07 Jun 2005 02:07:39 GMT

tonight was the drama guild banquet. it was real good. im just starting to become friendly with a lot of people there, so i got to talk to them. im also trying to become closer with people i havent talked to in a while like danny. i also forgot how much i love everyone from student directed. unfortunetley theres a lot of people i wish i got closer with, especially some seniors. i guess all i can do is take advantage of the people i'll still get to see, like the juniors.

yeah...im really sad actually that i didnt get closer with some people.
people i will miss especially:
joellen
steve
ben kramer
sarah
bella
ryan
lomo

i wish i wasnt so shy sometimes.
