new years barn party!
I feel better :)

Monday, December 29 @ 10:12 PM
Can't really sleep... I think I'm getting sick. This distresses me because there is only so much time I have with my friends right now and I don't want to be sick. Oh well, I'll try to rest up and hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow.

Happy birthday Grant! The gathering was nice, it was fun to see everyone. I cut out a little early though because I was very tired, my body didn't appreciate that whole not sleeping thing last night. So I think I'm going to catch up on some much needed rest. I just wanted to assure all my friends that I'm fine, just a little tired. Night :)

@ 1:51 AM
So we lost... it's ok though because there will be more challenges to come. At least until we win and can end it all on a good note :) I had a really good time tonight, I love me some Jarboe and Jeni, and as always Leah is very high up on my cool list. Dinner was fun even if the girls didn't really eat. Jarboe and I had good mexican times but that also meant he was going to fart like a mothertrucka. Pool was fun but as I mentioned earlier we lost... not badly though. We would rocked out the first game of the series but I blew it when I scratched on the 8 ball. Kinda got our butts beat in the second for a bit before I rallied with a 4 ball run only to scratch the 8 again. I kinda need to work on my concentration... evil girls with their evil powers. After pool we watched supertroopers and for the love of god no matter how many times I see that movie I still crack up. I spent the evening with 3 of my favorite people on the planet, I'm pretty happy right now :)

Sunday, December 28 @ 3:17 PM
I slept until 1:30 today... Max = lazy bastard. I really should start waking up earlier if I'm going to start running again. Think I'm gonna wait till classes start before that happens though. Tonight it's finally going to be settled... Jarboe and I are going to take the girls down in one final game of pool. I feel good about it, a certain person no longer has that evil effect on me... well sorta. In any case we're going to win!
I was looking over a friends blog today and I happened to see a reference to me! Being the attention whore that I am I enjoyed it very much, Jeni you're a sweet kid and yes songwriting will be lots and lots of fun.

I tried going to sleep about two hours ago... didn't work so well. I feel a little better now, spent the day thinking about last night and I realize that things aren't so bad. Nothing to get bent out of shape about anyway. I think tomorrow might be nice... I'm going to try to sleep again.

Have you ever had the feeling that you're nothing more than a convenience to some people? Like when you're the only one around everything is cool, but the second that someone else arrives you don't mean anything? I've never really felt that before until now and I can't say that it's pleasant. It's probably nothing though... just max's silly mind playing tricks. Crap.

No more beard and my hair has been chopped off. New max? Nah, just a new cover... it's the same old silly max with his silly problems. It's nothing to complain about though, I mean if I was happy what would I write about? I will take advantage of this stuff and hopefully something good will come out of it. Jeni was right when she said my guitar is the best girlfriend ever.... well that's not really true but it does come in handy in times like these.

Merry Christmas.
Spent time with my family exchanging gifts and all that stuff. My parents are pretty darn cool sometimes. Everyone really enjoyed the gifts I got them, which made me pretty happy. I've been spending the day watching movies with my brother and screwing around with my new phone... yeah I finally have a new phone :) We're currently watching the nightmare before christmas.... I love my brother. Life is pretty good right now. Happy holidays everyone!

Wednesday, December 24 @ 8:31 PM
Ah the wonderful Christmas Eve traditions for the Evans family... really wasn't that bad though. Chinese for lunch fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra, yeah it's very christmas story but what can ya do? After that we headed over to the movies and saw Elf. Silly little film, but it did make me chuckle. Not sure why but I'm rather tired now, I think I'm going to take a nap.
- max
@ 2:54 AM
One last thing... I wrote something new! Jeni I can't wait for you to hear it, can't wait for us to start doing this whole music thing. I think it's purty, hopefully we can do something with it. Now i'm done... again. This time for real though... I think.
- max
@ 2:34 AM
I'm finally feeling good again, not sure why but I really can't complain I guess. For the last couple hours I've been lying around listening to music and thinking about things. I was rummaging though my room earlier and I found my old Calvin and Hobbes book. This made me pretty happy considering I haven't seen it in years, silly comics make me smile.
So many things I'd like to say, if only I could put them into some way that didn't make me sound like such a fool. I suppose that's how it goes... funny how that works. I have a tendency to hold back on my feelings, for fear of rejection, or sounding stupid... who knows. I just don't think that words do it justice. Perhaps one day my ramblings will evolve and I'll be able to express how I feel and be happy with what I've said. One day I will be both witty and charming. Ha... I know someone who might get a kick out of that. I leave you with some good ole Led Zepplin.

I'd like to let all of you know that a few bad dreams aren't going to kill me. I'll be ok, thanks for your concern though. I'm blessed with some amazing people in my life, my friends I love you all. Going to attempt some sleep now, thanks again.

@ 10:20 PM
Tonight I found out some things that I would have rather not known. Ew... I feel sick.
- max
@ 3:32 AM
I'd like to sleep, but I'm afraid to dream. Tortured by glimpses of what could have been. I think these new dreams are even worse than the old ones where I would just die. It's not fair to show me happiness only to have it taken away when I wake. Was there something that I did to deserve this? I'm not asking for sympathy, I just wish I could understand why I'm haunted by these dreams. What does it all mean? There has to be a point to all of this, even if I never understand it.
Refer to one of my previous posts on sleep.

My previous post sounded a little generic I guess, no deep thoughts or expressions of my feelings. Just a description of tonight's events. Lately I just haven't felt like going into any depth on here, I'm not really in a sharing mood I suppose.
I've been remembering a lot of my dreams lately which isn't such a good thing. I've actually been having nightmares... This hasn't happened in a long time and it scares me now. Fuck sleep, it's overrated anyway.

@ 1:17 AM
Tonight was nice. I saw rotk with some friends, wonderful wonderful movie. Explaining it to Lucas and Lynn was fun even though it made me feel like an uber geek. After the movie we went to denny's for coffee and discussions on life. As kept quiet for the most part, observing as usual. I didn't have much to say anyway. Spent some time in the parking lot talking to Lucas and Leah, Nate had left with Lynn so she could get gas without being terrified. As we were getting ready to leave Rachel and another girl showed up. Spent a little more time talking to them before I headed out.

One of the drawbacks about passing out during the day is that you cannot get to sleep later. It's not too bad though because I'm not really tired,I just think that if I sleep now waking up tomorrow won't be so tough.

Tired Max
I'm going on about three hours sleep right now, I figured if I got a little bit of rest I'd be a little refreshed and could get back to my essay. Yeah... that didn't work so good, I mean I'm up and working on it, but all I think think about is how much I'd much rather be asleep right now. I even thought about setting the alarm for another hour but I know if I do that I'll just do it again when I wake up and nothing will get finished.
Gonna get off of here now, blogging is another addicting little curse that will keep me away from what has to be done. I'll return when all tests are finished and papers are turned in.
- max
@ 1:22 AM
So i'm preparing my notes for my history final tomorrow... I've never really sat down and studied before, never really had to. It's a little different when you're paying for your education. Not really having fun right now... but I guess it has to be done.
No sleep for max tonight...

"This time, this time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas, making Christmas
Is so fine
It's ours this time
And won't the children be surprised
It's ours this time
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Making Christmas
Time to give them something fun
They'll talk about for years to come
Let's have a cheer from everyone
It's time to party
Making Christmas, making Christmas
Snakes and mice get wrapped up so nice
With spider legs and pretty bows
It's ours this time
All together, this and that
With all our tricks we're
Making Christmastime
Here comes Jack
I don't believe what's happening to me
My hopes, my dreams, my fantasies
Hee, hee, hee, hee
Won't they be impressed, I am a genius
See how I transformed this old rat
Into a most delightful hat
Hmmm, my compliments from me to you
On this most intriguing hat
Consider though this substitute
A bat in place of this old rat
Huh! No, no, no, now that's all wrong
This thing will never make a present
It's been dead for much too long
Try something fresher, something pleasant
Try again, don't give up
All together, this and that
With all our tricks we're making Christmastime
This time, this time
Making Christmas, making Christmas
La, la, la
It's almost here
And we can't wait
So ring the bells and celebrate
Cause when the full moon starts to climb
We'll all sing out
It's Christmastime
Hee, hee, hee"
Getting closer, I thought i'd spread the cheer :)

Saturday, December 13 @ 12:58 AM
I guess I slept wrong last night because I woke up today in pain... it wasn't too bad though, at least not in the beginning. Looked at the clock and it was 11:00 I went upstairs and took a shower. I went to the mall again looking for some Christmas gifts for my family. I saw that girl again while I was walking around... and she's still beautiful. She didn't notice me this time though... at least not yet. After picking up a nice little care bears poster for my brother I decided to stop at barnes and noble for a cup of coffee. While standing in line I looked around the cafe and I noticed that the girl was there... she looked up at me and smiled. I was thinking that she probably thinks I'm a stalker or something, not really what I was aiming for. I managed another one of my shy smiles picked up my coffee and headed out. As the day progressed my shoulder got worse, kinda feels like its on fire now. After I got home I rested a bit, took a nap on the couch. A little later I went to go hang out with Nate, we ate dinner at Los bravos and then came back here to watch the Italian job with my brother. After the movie Nate headed out to a party, I stayed in because of my shoulder and now I'm sitting here writing this. All in all today wasn't bad, a little boring but I can't complain.

Friday, December 12 @ 1:26 AM
So I'm back... it's funny how I blog about going to sleep and then I don't. I'm not trying to be a hypocrite or anything. It's just not working... I almost don't mind though. I haven't been enjoying sleep lately. My dreams have been weird to say the least. I'm not going to go into them though because a couple of them involve some people that actually read this thing. Not that there's anything nasty going on... they're just weird. I'm starting to fear my subconscious now.

Oh yeah... the guitar that I'm wanting to name... it's a martin d-16 dreadnought acoustic. I've had it for almost two years now... Uh I guess I thought describing it a bit would help with the name suggestions? Anyway I'm no good with names so help me out.
- max
@ 12:46 AM
I'm kinda sleepy now, today was good I guess... Uneventful but I cannot complain. Lately everything has felt like a blur. I don't really remember specific days, they just bleed into eachother. I haven't really had any good thoughts lately... or if I have I don't remember them. My days consist of waking up around 10 and either screwing around the house for an hour or 3 depending on when I have class. Going to class and coming home and not sleeping. I look forward to having good talks with jeni and spending time with my guitar... which I'm going to name. Not real sure yet, feel free to leave suggestions on my tagboard!
A few more days and I'm done with my first semester of college... I'm not a big fan of school anymore. Like it's not THAT bad, I just don't think it's for me. I'd be content just playing my guitar for the rest of my days. I don't have to be famous (though I wouldn't complain if I was) I would be happy just as long as I have somewhere to play. Anyway with the semester ending my friends are coming back home... words cannot express how happy this makes me. I'm not a very social person and that makes it kinda tough to make new friends, so I'm just happy that the people I love are coming home for a little while. Getting tired now... I'll leave you with this.
"You know when you're sitting on a chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs then you lean too far and you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time."

I had a wonderful talk with jeni today. She's an amazing kid who brings out the best in me. Thanks for everything, I'm really looking forward to you coming home.
I found my dad's old Leo Kottke cd... he is such an amazing guitarist. When he came to town last September he blew my mind. I'm going to learn when kings come home because it's a beautiful piece of music.
I can't sleep... but I'm tired. I'm gonna go stare at the ceiling for a few hours... maybe play some music.
Today was good,
That's all for now.

"It's so sad. People and their sandwiches. People looking forward to eating their sandwiches. You know, they'll be working or doing something really stupid like polishing their furniture, and they'll say, "Oh things aren't so bad; at least I got that sandwich to look forward to!"
And then around noon or maybe 10 am, they'll take out their sandwich, and take little tiny bites of that thing and think about little tiny pieces of change that would make them happy; you know, if they could only lose four or five pounds. If the movie they'd seen the night before could only be slightly better. They don't ask much, the Sandwich People. Sad as snake snot.
The only thing sadder than the Sandwich People, are the Poo People. You know, the Poo People, adults who sleep alone every night, but everyday you see 'em walkin' their three pound dogs. If it were a fish you'd throw it back! But they love it and they walk it. They walk it with little plastic bags on their hands. Waitin' for their little three-pounder to have his poo. And when he does, they pick it up. And feel that heat in their hand. As if to say, "I am alive!
The only thing sadder than the Poo People, are the Happy People. Yeah, the Happy People, you know, sitting in their cars, smiling at police, keeping their change in their wallets, remembering peoples birthdays, pleased as punch they didn't get murdered. Sad, sad, sad are the Happy People.
I guess the only thing sadder than the Happy People, are the Village People! Yes the Village People are the very saddest of all! They can't believe they wrote that song about the YMCA...they've never been to the YMCA. That cowboy doesn't want to be a cowboy anymore! He wants to be a grownup! Right now he's in some town, doing bizarre choreographed moves, thinkin' to himself, "Well at least I got that sandwich to look forward to!"
I love me some kids in the hall

Tuesday, December 9 @ 11:50 PM
So I can't seem to get into my template right now and that's no fun. I wanted to screw around with some stuff but I guess it will have to wait until later.
For the last couple months I've been wondering where my snatch dvd was... and my fightclub... and my transformers (Yeah I have transformers the movie... I'm a geek) It was distressing because I love all of these movies and I have had the urge to watch them for quite some time but after looking though the entire house I thought I was screwed. Today my brother suggested I check the leather travel case we have, I was unaware that we had one... so he told me where it was and guess what?!? There were my movies! This made me happy, yay me.
After class today I went to barnes with my friend Lucas, it was pretty cool because I haven't seen or talked to him in a while. It was good to catch up on things. We got some coffee and actually found a decent spot upstairs, comfy chairs and all. We sat down and talked for a bit and then picked up some comics... I already mentioned that I'm a big geek. It was good times though, later on our friend nate called and came to join us. When he got there we talked about some more things, life... love... all that wonderful stuff. Lucas had to go fairly early because he wasn't feeling too well. After he left Nate and I stayed for a little while and talked about the previously mentioned things. We came to some conclusions about ourselves... he thinks that he should look out for himself a little more and not worry so much when he can't make everyone happy... which is true. I decided that the major problem that I have in relationships is that I have a lot of trouble letting the other person in. It's hard for me to express how I feel sometimes... I think I'm getting a little better though.
Anyway time to watch snatch... such a good movie. Wonderful ending. I recommend it!

So today I was told that I'm part of the reason why a friend of mine still has faith in guys. This made me feel really good. Thanks kid, I do what I can :)
I was looking though afi's expressions page because I wanted to find a nice wallpaper for my laptop when I came across adams pirate stories. Adam Carson is the drummer from afi, he also claims to be a pirate. Now there's nothing wrong with that... but some dude wrote a 10 part story about Adams adventures on the seven seas! It is mabye the weirdest thing i've ever read but it was pretty funny too. Here's a link to it if ya wanna check it out. Fans of AFI should get a kick out of it.

@ 10:54 AM
I had a rather odd dream this morning... this morning because I did not actually get to sleep until the early hours of today, and I woke up every other hour or so. I was actually posting about it a half hour ago, but I was booted off. At first I was angry because this was the fist time in a while that I've actually remembered a dream in detail and I wanted to record it. The more I think of it now I realize that it's probably best that I don't post about it, because it was pretty darn weird. Nothing bad or icky happened, it just involved me and some friends and some friends... Weird.

@ 1:58 AM
Jeni says that my previous post sounded mysterious... Not really what I was aiming for, I just had too many thoughts going on earlier, could not organize them into anything that made sense. Jeni is a good kid, it pains me to see her hurting. As it pains me to see so many of my other friends suffering as well. I wish there was something that I could do, make it better for all of them. They are good people who have always been there for me and I wish I could do the same in return.
I was reading a friends blog earlier and she wondered if god was having a chuckle at her expense... but then dismissed it because god loves too much. It made me wonder though, do you ever laugh at the people you love? Of course you do... so I think God does as well. I mean he/she whatever it is has to be bored up there. We are entertainment. I am a walking cosmic joke. This does not mean that God does not love me, it's just bored.
Not trying to "sound mysterious" or anything but I still haven't figured out what I wanted to write earlier. My thoughts wander, I think i'm just going to try sleep and attempt again in the morning... well this is the morning... crap. Sleep beckons
- max
@ 12:26 AM
So I'm online talking to my friend Leah, she's a tad stressed out with school. It's quite understandable because finals are coming up and that's no fun at all. I feel like a jackass because I'm only in three classes and two of the three are bullshit ones so I don't really have anything to worry about at all. All of my friends are working their butts off and they're stressed and I sit here with my computer and my guitar watching cartoons.
I just put up a new wallpaper for my computer, I love my old homestar one and all but it was just a tad goofy for me. I'm really liking my new death of seasons one.
There is more that I'd like to say, but I haven't figured out how it's going to come out yet. Which means I'll probably be back on here in a few hours.

Sunday, December 7 @ 3:51 PM
So maybe even horizon isn't the best movie to watch while eating lunch... I haven't done a single thing today. Watching the fellowship of the ring, and more than likely going to follow it with the two towers. Yay for being a big geek!
Finals will be coming up soon... I'm not too worried though. I mean due to my stupidity and laziness I'm only in three classes. Easy classes, I think I'm going to be alright.
Guess who can play the intro to claptons acoustic solo?!? Me baby... Me. It's not really saying much because the intro isn't hard at all. The rest of it is kicking my ass but it's always fun to learn something new. I'm thinking I'll have it learned in a couple more days. Go me!

Day two of the weekend with myself went pretty well. Woke up a little late... just in time to catch UK and UCLA... UK won but it wasn't pretty. After the game I played with my pup for a little bit... she's 3 years old now and huge so I guess she's not really a puppy anymore, but she still is to me. After that I took a shower went downstairs again and played some music. Since all of my friends are doing their choir thing I spent the rest of the day with my dad. We went to some stores to do some Christmas shopping for my mother and then to dinner. Los bravos makes me happy, it's not real mexican but it's the closest you'll get in Evansville Indiana. After dinner we went to boarders for coffee, we don't really talk often so he took it as a time to catch up on my life and all that good stuff, and talk about women. This was funny because we kinda haven't discussed girls before, which is odd considering i'm 18 years old and have been dating for quite some time. So he talked about when he was my age and all the fun he had and all the fun he thinks i'll have. Which is probably true >:) After coffee we headed over to the movie theatre where we saw The Last Samurai. That movie rocked my freakin socks man (so good I totally stole a Nathan Burgdorf line.) It's the best movie i've seen this year. Pirates of the Caribbean is a close second but lets face it, samurais and ninjas are just cooler than pirates, it's that simple. Now i'm at home writing this... today was nice, not what I was expecting but I certainly cannot complain.

No classes for max today... so what did I do? I went Christmas shopping at the mall. I'm not a big fan of the mall, it's a little crowded for me... espically this time of year. I was in hot topic looking at some t shirts for my little brother. I'm not a huge fan of that store, I occasionally will get things from there, but I had an altercation there with an employee a little while ago. She was being rude to my friend because he apparently wasn't "hardcore" enough for her. This coming from a woman who works in the mall... silly people. Anyway I was looking at their shirts not really paying attention when I almost ran into one of the most amazing girls I've ever seen. She was incredible, about my height, slender, pretty face, purple hair. Most people probably would have been annoyed by my clumsiness but she just smiled at me... I smiled back, my shy tortured smile, and went about my business. Picked up a ninja shirt for my little bro... it's so weird calling him that. I mean he's barely a year younger than me and just as big as me. But he's still my little bro.
So i'm sitting here alone on a friday night... not really a normal thing but since pretty much all of my friends that are still in town are in choir and they have their show all weekend i'm kinda screwed. It's not too bad though, the time I have to myself has been spent writing, screwing around on my guitar, reflecting and all that good stuff. Healthy I guess... listening to ruifo, I was introduced to this band the other day and so far i'm liking them a lot.
I'm thinking that i'm done for now. Haven't been sleeping well lately so chances are i'll be posting again in a few hours.

I've been thinking a lot lately about some things... I'm not the most outgoing person in the world so I don't really have a whole lot of friends. The friends I do have however are amazing people that I love with all of my heart and would do anything for. There are some other people that I've met fairly recently that I made an effort to be cool to, and it was returned sorta. Some people just don't really care though, and it seems that no matter what I do my kindness will not be repaid. You shouldn't be nice because you want other people to be nice to you, you should be nice to people because you want to be. That's the way i've felt for a long time now and I guess its contrary to my bitching... but it's just hard sometimes. I don't know why I make the effort to be nice to people if they're just going to ignore me. I say people but it's more like a single person, you know who you are. Anyway I've decided that it's just not worth it anymore, i'm not giving up on the human race or anything, just that from now on if you treat me cool i'll do the same, and if you don't thats ok too, i'm not going to hate you. I'm just not going to go out of my way anymore for people who don't care.

Today was a good day... rather uneventful but good none the less :) I woke up a little later than usual, I forgot to set my alarm clock. It wasn't a big deal though because I didn't have class until 3. I just woke up feeling really lazy, I skipped my workout and took a shower. After my shower I got dressed and made some lunch... yes I can cook. Ceaser salad + girlled chicked = happy max. After lunch I took my dog for a walk and then came downstairs to play some music. The one good thing about all this free time I have is I can dedicate it to that which I love most. I've been playing a lot of classical lately... it's not really my thing but i've been using it to become a better player. I've kinda decided that all I really want to do with my life is play so I really need to work at it to make it a possibility. Anyway I played for about 2 hours and then my dad came home. I was suprised by this because usually he doesn't get home from work until after i'm back from classes. We talked for a bit about chirstmas and what i've picked up for the family so far. After that he left to do some chirstmas shopping of his own. After he left I went downstairs and made a new cd Hardcore acoustic vol. 1! after making the cd I went to my only class of the day which is history. The lecture was a little boring but at the end of it my professer announced that she was giving us an extra credit assignment! Which is wonderful for me because I totally screwed my test average by bombing my last test. No more skipping class the day before a test. Came home and saw that my dad had bought pirates of the caribbean which made me happy. I like the movie a lot even though both times I saw it in the theatres were hampered by bad expierences. I watched that with my bro and now i'm here doing this. Well I guess that's all for now, and probably will be all for the night unless something interesting happens any time soon. Tomorrow will be good too, no classes :)

Why can't I sleep? I don't really try to stay up late or anything... I wake up around 10 every morning... work out, shower, go to class and come home really freakin tired. Sometimes i'll fall asleep right when I get home and then i'll wake up around 11 or so and not be able to sleep for the rest of the night. Other times i'll just sit here sleepy, but unable to actually fall asleep for hours. It wouldn't be so bad if I could get some things done while im up, but all I can really do is think about why I can't sleep. Vicious cycle.
I can't even write what I want because my brain doesn't work due to lack of sleep. Bah.

"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad"

Girls are pissing me off right now... this isn't some whiney little rant where I bitch about being sad and alone, because i'm not. Well i'm alone, but I like it that way right now. Girls are pissing me off because they don't let things die. They're petty and they fuck with my friends. They get mad at me for something that I didn't even do. So right now i'm just gonna be pissed off at just about every girl on the planet. I have to make an exception for jeni ahfled because she = cool and we had a fun talk today that made me feel a little better. There are a couple others that I can still tolerate too... well actually I guess I can't be pissed at all of em. There are a few that can go fuck off though.
I'm currently learning a little classical guitar solo from eric clapton... my fingers hate me right now. Sounds pretty though so it's worth it I guess.

I know that I've made mistakes... haven't we all? Why must I continue to pay for them? I was under the impression that things were going ok again...well mabye not ok but were starting to improve? I'm not leading anyone on... I made a mistake and i'm sorry, but I have established where I stand on the situation... I don't know why it has to continue. All I can do is say i'm sorry... again. Girls are fickle and annoying... this is not singling anyone in particualr out. I'm just not a fan of any females at the moment. They have made my best friend sad, and driven me insane. Mabye I just don't get it... I've never claimed to be that smart when it comes to this sort of shit... I just don't understand.
