i knew her first
i knew her before you did. so you shouldn't have been mad (yea right)
also i love every one of those little idiosyncratic things she does without knowing it that you all talk about hating when she's not there.
that's the answer to a question that i was asked about a year ago now.
stirring sugar in her diet-coke she said
"can you still remember how we met?"
i've had a while to think about it and
i don't think it happened quite like that

family reunion
i went to a family reunion on saturday. (just got back) it was a place i hadn't been since i was about three and a half feet high. (as confirmed by the photo) i met lots of people i didn't know but am apparently related to, distantly, and socialized minimally with them. mostly i just stood near them and said ridiculous things until i got a reaction out of them. (i love gatherings) we slow roasted a ham. it was fabulous. i did manage to rouse a game of ultimate frisbee which went well minus the severe crack to the jaw i got from my cousin jeff's elbow as we both dived for a catch. the highlight, however, was all the little kids wanted to play. i'd guess their ages to be in the 7-10 range. i don't know what happened but kids just kill me these days. i love it. and as i was (or at least looked like i was) the oldest; apparently that made me in charge. it was very cool to be looked up to like that. not a parental figure but somebody they wanted to hang out with and be like.
something i did right, lately.
remember that phrase "things are on the up and up"? i've never used it. not that i think my life is crap or anything, but. if you know me well you might know what i mean... and if you get the reference in the first place than you might know me well.
the bad part is the trip up and back were made in the back of my mom's van. the horrible seating that i don't fit in was my home for three hours each way. and while i was there i slept on the worst pull out sofa that has ever existed. my back is killing me so i took a hand full i ibuprofen and a valium. they're starting to kick in so i'm gonna to watch TV 'till i pass out.
be well

sunday slides
yesterday i took the lady to watercountry. it was a blast. we did all kinds of slides and spent quite a bit of time lazing arround the adventure river. waterslides and marvelous fun. i like the ones that you ride on tubes.
and the big tall steep one with the matt that you lay on head first. it's very scarry and you can go to hell if you don't think it's scarry cause it's the same people that say movies like the ring and shit are scarry that say shit like that isn't scary... just cause it's fun doesn't mean it's not scary.
those same people that say tattoo's don't hurt. just cause you can take it without crying or something. they hurt, get over yourself and admit it.
aaaaanyways, on the way to the park i got rear-ended by a dumb fat bitch in a minivan. and pushed into the jeep in front of me (cause we were stopped at a light) whatever, she's buyin my new bumpers. pretty minor but i needed a new front one anyway from the dent i put in it over the winter. so i was happy to see a nice hole punched in it from the jeep's trailer hitch. i'll find out tomorow when i'll get it back.
rents are on vacation this week, so i'm picking up the slack running the company. it's more work and stress than i'm used to but it's worth it seeing my dad's face when he comes home to find everything up to date, taken care of, and running smoothly
since i genuinely doubled my income from a year or so ago, just like i said i would, it's nice to prove that i'm worth it. i can handle this.
EDIT: at watercountry the lady and i got lots of good sun (her more than i as she has great skin, but that's beside the point) i got a nasty sunburn on the tops of my feet! what the fuck?!?! who thinks to put sunscreen on the tops of their feet?!?!? WHO DOES THAT?!?!? anyway, it hurt alot last night, but today it wasn't so bad. so good times.

[Link] | i've been so happy and so very very upset at the same time.
so many reasons to be in love and so many not too.
i don't think this is funny, and it's taking alot out of me.
pretty soon i'm gonna have to go all in or out. and one or two more drunken conversations on the hood of a car and i might go the wrong way.
something along the lines of;
"you think just cause you have those eyes you can do whatever you want and i'll follow you?"
"...won't you?"

quick update, i've been away from the computer
new things. i got a new phone. i'll tell you the number if you ask
played in portland saturday night, played well. (thanks chuck).
it was pete's 21st birthday so he and cindy wanted to go out dancing, but didn't know were to go but:
i met some cool people, including megan who told us about the club she was going to wich had a fantasic band playing 80's hits and a lightup dancefloor. so we made a night of it, and it was spectacular.
today i put a K&N typhoon cold-air intake and focus-central 65mm throttle body on my car. now it's got crazy fast responce, wich'll take some getting used to but it's impressive. the roar of the engine is impressive by itself., not just the power gains.
anyways. there's lots of things, i'ma be in portland alot more i think...
i know i hardly update this at all but whatever, deal with it. i do!
<3

eyes open
You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go
And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on lips 'till it's madness in my head
Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true
Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do
More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world
i think snow patrol's new record is going to be on the best of 2006 top five (along with the new head automatica, but that's beside the point) it's unexplainably wonderful.
incedentally: my band is playing the deering grange hall in portland this saturday the 17th. more info at http://www.myspace.com/thespeedoffilm
i'd be delighted if you came, and i'd give you stickers.

night
i had the strangest night ever.
and it's not entirely your fault, kari. (although when you called i was asleep and didn't realize what was happening 'till after, i almost called you right back, but then i fell asleep again.)
but i had a very intense dream. that i'm not willing to share, here.
i don't update lj very often, and there are lots of many things going on in my life but, i can't right now. i guess. or i'm too taken up in all of it.
i know some of you only have contact with me on here. so i beg you, if you want to know call and ask or something cause i'd talk to you.

this is the first day of my life
the may concert happend pretty gracefully. got a huge turnout; standing room only, for real. (good news for the lebanon elementary school music department, wich the show benefits)
as all my plans fell appart one after the other i was ready to give up and not perform this year, but i had realatives in town from illanois so i wasn't allowed to give up.
at the very last second i decided to to do some songs with adam backing me up on bass and ty singing the second vocal parts. and then ty bailed on account of him pulling an all nighter final and beeing too tired to come down.
but i did it anyway! i played "first day of my life" by bright eyes and then adam joined me for the originals, "sure thing" and "dear jane". went pretty well, good responce.
anybody know a piano player? (we're very much in need)
edit: the show took in $700 for the music department. that's wonderful, i an average year does about $400

[Link] | i've figured everything out, for the most part. don't get me wrong; i'm still squashed flat whenever i think about it but...
i've just got one question: do you go to church now?
circumstantial as it might be, it's the final "devine" proof. (hahahahah)
there's only one person i know of that's ever understood my thoughts enough to get my meanings when i say stuff like this. so don't worry about it if you don't. something about my brain i guess.

a good way to spend a weekend
got most of the tracking done for six songs. vocals and extra stuff left to do now.
saturday's night's 80's night extravaganza was a smashing success. i thought it would be real small, but everybody came. it was so crowded and fantasic! we dressed up, there was 80's music, champaigne, birthday cake, and of course the one thing you can't have an eighties party with out; cocaine.
(pics to follow)

this could all be avoided
you know what i like about gay guys? they're still guys and they still have the guy straightforward way of doing things. they say
"hi there, you're really hot, let's do something"
there is nothing in that to be missunderstood or figured out. life is nice.
but what is it with girls lately that it's all a game? tell you one thing and do another. even when they say stuff like
"oh yea i know what you mean, so many girls are all playin headgames and shit. i'm not done with that scene"
it's all part of the fun i guess.
just be straight up. cause it'll all get around (you stupid douchebags)
