So i clearly stopped using this because i have a twitter.

i guess this is pointless but ill give it a shot.

I have really opened up my eyes in the last few months. I have taken a look around at my life in more of a third person view. Seeing things like this gives you an appreciation for the things you have. I cant complain i truly have countless things to be thankful for. I got back into playing soccer over the winter and that was amazing. Late nite wars is doing a weekend this month, we are going to get some media exposure in june which will be awesome. Also doing saco in june. I think 2009 is on the way to topping 08. I don't even know how thats possible. Jeeting new people, trying new things, keeping positive and having fun.

that wasn't so bad...i miss using this

haha it wouldn't be a proper lj post if i didn't say "maybe i should update this more often"

fuck it

shits been hectic.

printed lnw shirts. coaching a u6 soccer team. shows. practice. beers. xbox. working in the warehouse. put a sink in the past week. big e counter. big e coming up soon. busy busy. tired.

fridays show was okay. sort of a bust. we played at lie 6:15 in manchester on a friday. Way too early for a show and none of us were in the right mindset. kinda bums me out but the rest of the show was sweet. Andthen payed a set with watchfire at aarons house. That was the most fun i have ever had playing a show. Everyone was singing and basement surfing and it was an overall riot. Hopefully more times like that will come.

the weather has been nuts. we have had sever thunderstorms everyday for like a week. the summer has been a blast though. pool parties or beach day or kareoke. All involving some alcohol. Lots of good times.

i just moved the rest of my shit out of allston today and back home. ill probably stay here for a little while, save up some money.

word. kjq

things are going reaally well.

i could not be more stoked on life right now.

Well its that time of year again when i rant about how much being here in atlanta sucks. I guess ill just skip over it and ill move on to everything else.

LNW is doing well, 2 shows on saturday...first we went up to a farm in alexandria NH, It was off a dirt road and there were goars and chickens and a bunny, there was a barn out back that bands played it. There were about 15 people there. Mostly had a hippy vibe to them. Really odd. It was raining so they sat under a tarp about 30 feet away and watched us. I dont think they knew what the hell we were doing. It was probably one of the top 5 oddest experiences ive had. But had an awesome show on saturday night in derry, a ton of friends were there. I couldnt have asked for a better turn out. Party after but i had to load up dad van and get at least a little sleep before 5am when we left to drive down here.

Things have been really positive for me lately. In fact it has been for quite some time. Maybe its because i'm a grown up now. Shit i'm 24. Fuck.

About to leave work, heading to yama with my brother to get some sake and some sushi. then celtics game one.

This past weekend was awesome. Up north for parties at frosts plymouth cabin. Ruit and Frisbee, BLLimes and Sparks, Piano and guitar singalongs, Microwave smores, huge crashibility water falls, river, sign shop, organic cheeses and ice cream, spencer, pxc, sparklers, Lots of fun things happened.

Thursday LWN played bills bar. Pretty decent time. Good responses and stuff. Finished up main vox the other night. The EP is almost ready and i'm really excited about it.

This weekend should be fun.

I need to write some more molten lava stuff. I notices i really like doing that as an alternative to LNW, especially because i have creative control. More of that to come i hope.

My computer HD crashed before i have even had it a year. Pretty bogus. Lost a years woth of pics and music. But i already have it up and running again so I'm thankful for that.

The human being is part of the whole called by us universe. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive. (Albert Einstein)



We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring-impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
With beat of systole and of diastole
One grand great life throbs through earth's giant heart,
And mighty waves of single Being roll
From nerve-less germ to man, for we are part
Of every rock and bird and beast and hill,
One with the things that prey on us, and one with what we kill.

Is the light vanished from our golden sun,
Or is this daedal-fashioned earth less fair,
That we are nature's heritors, and one
With every pulse of life that beats the air?
Rather new suns across the sky shall pass,
New splendour come unto the flower, new glory to the grass.

And we two lovers shall not sit afar,
Critics of nature, but the joyous sea
Shall be our raiment, and the bearded star
Shoot arrows at our pleasure! We shall be
Part of the mighty universal whole,
And through all Aeons mix and mingle with the Kosmic Soul!

We shall be notes in that great Symphony
Whose cadence circles through the rhythmic spheres,
And all the live World's throbbing heart shall be
One with our heart, the stealthy creeping years
Have lost their terrors now, we shall not die,
The Universe itself shall be our Immortality!

(Panthea, Oscar Wilde)

well that was a hellish 2 weeks. Thank god its over.

Now back to hangin out. Writing. Boarding. Recording. Freinds. Fun....things that are my life.

Not designing ceramics for 14 hours a day.

america is doomed by the way.

so this is what bitter-sweet is all about.

i guess this is where i break down all the good and bad things about the year and comment of how good or bad it was.

i rather just say that my life now compared to a year ago is almost completely different in every way possible. In terms of friends, finances, family, girls, schedule, mindset.. actually all these things changed over the last 6 months. But in the end i just feel like a new person. all the things i've done up until now have prepared me for what is to come. i have to say theres been points in this past year that i thought i was all set and every piece had fallen into its place. But there has also been times where i felt like everything was in shambles. I think with the turn of the new year its like accepting all that, turning around and moving into a new era of my life. i guess this is the best way too look at it.

as a blank canvas.

Murphs wings.

I still dont spend more than one night in the same place. I'm beginning to like that. Makes me feel like im experiencing more, being more open and available to oppertunities.

Someone tried to break in out house firday morning. they had a butcher knife and were trying to force open the living room window. Luckily carl was ready with the hammer. Unfortunatly / fortunatly he didnt get in and carl just called the cops and they got him a few blocks away.

Also in shitty news. Me and caities cars got towed on saturday night...literally one block away. but still costs us$ 220.

Powered through though. Good night overall. Especially because i dont remember the later half of the night. Jameson hah.
