All together now, I wan't you to scream while reading this:

"HOW DOES IT FEEL!?"

Good...Dylan was amazing, best concert I've been to. Of course you can't sing along to Dylan, if any of you listen to him you will know why, but I did anyhow. Opened with Maggie's Farm, closed with Like a Rolling Stone and All Along the Watchtower. I was at the front the entire time, pressed against the fence. I'm hurting all over from jumping and getting jumped on.

String gauge change time:
10/46 to 11/50!!! I love it! I'm almost to 13's...hey SRV played on 13's. That'll take AT LEAST a year though. They sounds much better, especially in the death metal sector. But seriously, they sound much better.

Today was a sort of blur, I don't really remember anything. I got home and it was raining so I took up the guitar instead of playing hockey, played for about 2:30. At first i realized i dont play lead well without any backing. Turned on some bob marley: realized i don't play great lead without backing. Conclusion: I play the best when playing with other people. Me and mark could be in a damn band if he wasn't already in one, and he can play adult venues and I can't. I also like playing with my cousin Danie: excellent drummer, she lives in Naples though. I want to be in a band! Even if it's not really my exact style, at this point it doesn;t matter. I just lvoe playing with others, and i think that's what makes me play better. I'm gonna listen to some more Marley before hockey starts.....exodus, movement of jah people....

:: Music: Van Halen - Jamie's Cryin'

I'm so excited! Rush DVD is coming out!! It's gonna be the entire Rio show, 28 songs on 2 cds...I can't wait. It's now my number one thing i want for my birthday! Also I've been hearing that Rush might be touring late this year or next year. This is so great. I wish other old bands like van halen could be like rush, neil pearts wife and daughter died and they started playing again 6 years later. Eddie Van Halen and david lee roth are mad at eachother so they don't play at all for over 15 years. Anyhow, I now want that DVD so badly, it looks like its gonna be very cool, hopefully they have the comedy routines on there, and not just songs. Alex Lifeson talking about flying snakes and making fun of people driving with their windows down: made the show even greater. My right knee hurts after practicing hockey for a while, and it sucks because I thought 6 months of not playing hockey would take care of that. Oh well, i can live with the pain as long as it doesn't get much worse...

:: Music: white stripes - some song they are playing on Conan

Man do I ever hate crappy guitarists who somehow got people to think that they are any good. I was watching Conan and the white stripes started playing, and there was this neat little bass riff but then it started sounding out of tune, i looked at the tv and he was "trying" to use a slide to play the riff but he jsut sucked at it so much. Then he was trying to play it an octave up with the slide and it just sounded terrible and out of tune. It made me realize that in only one band has slide ever been used successfully...EVER, and that is the Allman Brothers. Even Jimmy Page never did anything great with his slide. Duane Allman would punch this guy on the white stripes if he was alive today. Even stupider is they have some big black guy following them around just standing...strange that a band is so terrible that they need gimmicks to appear talented. I have jsut recently become interested in slide guitar (past 3-4months) and i still cant master a basic slide rhythm, and have only ever written 1 song with any slide parts in them (out of 13 songs ive written). But like visual gimmicks, i guess new bands have to use slida as a gimmick too, making alot of people see it as not an instrument but as a novelty. Sometimes i wish i didnt know so much about guitar and its history...it makes me yearn for at least one good gutiarist in a band of today, the 70's had so many: what went wrong in the 80's and 90's?

I'm kinda tired, not really but i dont have any other mood...Went to see head of state (because chris rock was in it), which was really funny. In fact, the movie was so good i had to bust a cap in it, lol. Went to Bru's room, Barnes & Noble to see Dave, and came home. Now I'm bored cause I'm all by myself, lol. I'll be up all night listening to Van Halen cause that's the cool thing to do.

I really wish I was Joe Perry...being me is so boring. I'll never be as good at guitar or as cool as he is.

So I came to Orlando today to visit my cousin at UCF which was alot of fun. Now I'm in Lakeland actually staying at my step-grandparents' house which is alsoo fun cause theyre really cool. Went to a deli 'eatery' earleir that was really good, the second that i know of around here....S. Fla doesn't have any places like that, it needs some. Tomorrow I'm going to Tampa and then back here. Saturday I'm coming home.
Just like to point out that I've been quieter than usual, I've been getting the feeling that I've been bothering people online more than having conversations so I've kinda tried not to IM people as much.
This summer looks like its gonna be cool, might be going to the keys for a week with some family and their friends. I wanna go to Daytona one week but I don't think I'll be able to, cause I'm probably the only one who wants to go.

Life sucks...so does cujo. Out the window goes trying to watch hockey and be happy until June. And right before vacation. I loved Hasek and what the management did to get him a stanley cup before he retired but they don't need to do it with every washed up goalie in the league. Legace showed promise but do they pay any attention...no, because people know Curtis Joseph's name. Fedorov, Izerman, Shanahan, Chelios: They don't deserve to be on a team that does this to their loyal players. They played amazing, but it all comes down to the bottom line that Curtis Joseph is going to retire without a stanley cup because of HIS OWN faults. Being a goalie I always get mad at people who place all the blame on the goalie, but cujo: you suck, please go away.

I haven't played hockey in a while, but tonight I'm going all out. I'm gonna skate until i literally cant anymore. I need to see how long I can last cause ice hockey is coming and I want to be able to play like I could before. So starting next week i'm gonna try to do 2-3 hours of skating every day after school. If anyone wants to come and just shoot pucks at me I'd love it, haha, my Dad aint the best shooter in town.

add "coughy" to my mood....Last night was really cool, the dance show was much better than I thought it would be, and the ghetto dancing was really funny. It wasn't hard to tell that Kelli really wanted to be up there, but it'll be much better next year with her in it. Jackie did really well, got to say hi afterwards. Went to Chili's, and at Chili's my current disturbing phone message, ;-), was made. Ate some Chili's and got to see Megan's cat spazzing out on itself. I finally left just after 11, got home to check my mail and fell asleep at the computer...yay. Woke up at about 12:15 and went to bed. Now I have to get ready to go to Mark's for my guitar lesson....I'm in trouble though, i didnt practice any of the stuff he gave me since the first week after my last lesson and now its been 3 weeks.

Going to Wellington Mall afterwards since I've never been there. I have little money but i might as well check it out..

I wasn't at school today because i sick again, since around 2nd period yesterday. Even if i was feeling ok i wouldn't have gone because i couldn't do ANY work last night, i could barely talk. Tried to English work this morning but i couldnt so now im trying again. Good thing i didnt miss anything really important today, just a french quiz. I hate being sick and i know the second im better ill have to do english (which wont make me feel much better). Ok, well I'll be online later to update on whether or not im feeling good/going to school tomorrow.

:: 2003 7 April :: 4.24pm

At home, getting some stuff, looks like I'm going to have a computer at my dad's house now, or soon. Today was borrring. French was just one lnog lecture, APUSH-the test that wouldnt end...english-boring ol AP stuff. But then I got to bust out my mechanical skills (lol, yea right) and jump-start Kelli's car. Me and christian went to Checkers for some food, and I'm trying to get back to reading Brave New World (I get distracted so easily). Didn't get to see Dickey Betts cause my Dad had to go to Miami, so I watched a Rollnig Stones dvd (I'm sorry but Mick Jagger is very scary and he needs to stop TRYING to dance, its just wrong). Sunday I was home all day.

Ok..this was making me laugh all through APUSH, dont think anybody will really get it though: "Don't ever go to a Billy Squire or Journey concert. Ever. Just don't." and "Gun not to be used for contemplation."

I'm starting to get really sick of people not telling me what is wrong with them, but taking it out on me. There's no way i can help if I don't know whats wrong. One of my VERY good friends who moved to Ohio about a year and a half ago wont even talk to me online, and we talk ALL THE TIME. When she signs on she usually IMs me in less than a minute. Now for the past three days we've managed to not talk at all and she wont tell me why. It really makes mad, i'm starting to get really furious and its not very fun knowing someone is trying to push you away. I wanted to be happy today, but it seems everything is pissing me off. I'm gonna try and call later, maybe she'll talk then. But I just need to talk in general or I'm gonna go crazy. Gonna try and listen to music to take my mind off of it.

that's d-e-B-t! DEBT!...Nobody is talking to me it seems, today i saw three people who didn't even say hi to me today who normally do, even online i IMed someone to have them say "don't feel like talkin" but they stayed online for almost an hour talking to other people. Once again I find myself wishing life were simpler for everybody. If anybody has any tips on how I can become more complex I'd love them. Everybody telling me I can;t relate annoys me, but it annoys me even more that i truly can't relate to much. I have this strong need to be defined by others. I also have the need to be having fun constantly which I'm also trying to shake. Seeing my cousins makes me miss Tim even more, but my care package is on the way. I feel sorry for anyone who has personal connections to the war, I now know how it feels to have such connections and it hurts to think that I'm taking life for granted while he's voer there fighting to preserve it. I hate ignorance but I wish i could be ignorant to things around me, I'd have mroe friends (not that im complaining) and itd be easier to go through times like this. Good thing I have some friends who do care...

I know I said I'm in a good mood but there is something I have to say first: I am completely sick of people with false views who only take a stand on something because it's what everyone else is doing, it's everywhere and it only just offended me for the first time yesterday with some stupid kid being so completely ignorant it made me just yell at someone I've never even met or seen before. I shouldn;t have done it, luckily only a few people saw me, but it is my nature to get very very furious when I'm mad. I want this war to be over so I no longer have to be offended by ignorance regarding it....Now for the good:

Went bowling yesterday, however on the way to picking up sheila from her school my car started smoking like crazy. Apparently a hose connecting my engine coolant broke off leaving me to overheat. So I'm sitting in the Lake Worth parking lot for like 20 minutes, getting laughed at by everyone, but we did make it to bowling. I lost the first game, with Sheila thinking she's all big and bad, but of course i won the second game, and was on track to having a great third game but our time ran out. That third game was really strange cause Rose was almost beating me, and that's just eerie. Sheila was doing pretty badly but it's ok, cause we all had fun. Got ym car fixed last night, and now I'm at my Mother's house because my uncle John, is in town with his family, thought id stop by and say hi. Tomorrow i'm bringing my old computer to my dad's house...yay. oh, and get this...I haven't watched coverage of the war since Monday morning! lol, yea I'm a dork

More happy news: One of my Uncle's friends was killed in the helicopter crash last week that killed 4 marines. They were in the same unit and he was the pilot. My Uncle's wife talks with his wife too and says she is absolutely devistated as one would imagine. That couldve just as easily been Tim flying the helicopter since he is too a pilot.

Rose and I both chose to send letters to soldiers through that orginization i posted about. We both chose to write to two, and hers are both in the same company and one of mine is in that company, so we are gonig to try and have our letters be combined into a discussin sort of thing. This is gonig to help me get through this war alot better, and emailing, sending stuff to my uncle as well. I almost cried today knowing that it couldve just as easily been my uncle on that helicopter. And also because I know that by sending these packages and letters I'll be helping out, and doing what I can. Sadness and joy at the same time, I hope this week treats me well because I'm not feelnig great. Except I'm planning a bowling thing with friends Rose, Sheila and maybe Jessica. Maybe that'll help, cause we haven't done anything together in a while. I'm going back to my Dad's house tonight, and It's gonna be harder to stay occupied and not watch war coverage. I'm proud to say I didn't watch any today or yesterday. Ok, I'm gonna go start my eltters to the soldiers now..bye
