So I kinda hit my friend Lucas with my car door... I dropped him off about a half hour ago and I forgot he had a bag in the back, so I just started driving. He opened the door to get his bag, I stopped the car and he ran into the door and fell down. I laughed my ass off, though I kinda feel bad now.

I had fun tonight, I'm tired now so I think I'm going to go to sleep. Good Night :)

Thursday, January 29 @ 11:16 PM

Currently listening to AFI's Art of Drowning. Good stuff... i'm tired, too tired to think. Well considering the brain isn't wanting to work right now i'm gonna go enjoy the music and then give sleep a try.

Story at three.

again and again they blend into one, my
father the morning pushes through my moonlight love, so what's sleep,
sleep,
sleep.
whoaa..
i'm tired, so tired, so tired..
but it seems that there's someone here with me

we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
deathless ones

a story at three with the shrillest of cries, my
mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes, so what's sleep,
sleep,
sleep.
whoaa..
i'm tired, so tired, so tired...
but it seems that there's someone here with me

We are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we are awaiting
the deathless ones

i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy
i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy
(sing to me...)
i hear the mourning choir (so beautiful)
(sing to me...)
their elegy (beauty)
(sing to me...)
i hear the mourning choir (ah, they sing to me)
(sing to me...)
their elegy (requiem)
i hear the mourning choir
sing to me
their elegy

we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awaiting
deathless ones
we are the wakeful, wry and watchful, we're awating
the deathless ones

And with that, i'm going to bed

Wednesday, January 28 @ 9:12 PM

Went to lunch with Katie today, like actual going to lunch instead of meeting in the uc. It was fun, I enjoyed talking to her as always. I have the feeling that she's not comfortable around me yet, but since we've only been hanging out for about a week it's not a big deal. It would be cool if she would open up a little bit though.

Currently listening to Millennium Hip Hop... Why you ask? Eh, some things don't need an explanation.

- max





Tuesday, January 27 @ 10:59 PM

Talking to katie, having fun. Today was rather uneventful but I really can't complain, mini vacations are nice. Guitar fun and all that good stuff.

Listening to the bouncing souls cover of don't you (forget about me), get it, and the simple minds verison too. Good song, 80's fun.

I still need someone to kick my brother for that whole clown thing. Uh, I think that covers everything for now. I'll be back in a bit.

- max





@ 8:39 PM

My brother put a clown on as the image for my phone when you turn it on... I don't want to turn on my phone, not even to fix it. It's wrong to kill your brother, I know this. So anyone up for the job? Well maybe killing is a little much... but you guys should know of my phobia of clowns by now. That's really not cool.

- max





@ 8:52 AM

So I wake up to get ready for my morning classes today and my dad came down. He told me that the weather was still pretty crappy and the roads were shit. I was like and...? And then he said and don't you "feel sick" today? I was like Uh... yeah I do. Thanks.

Has to be the first really cool thing he's done for me that I can remember. Sleep was nice last night to, no weird dreams. :)

Currently listening to Dave and Tim Live at luthair college, if you're a fan of music in general you owe it to yourself to own this.

Monday, January 26 @ 8:00 PM

I had a nice day today. You know that girl I talked about a little while ago? I had lunch with her and well, it was nice. We have a whole lot of things in common and we even have fun with the things we disagree about. As much fun as I had today I was a little worried though, I mean I'm planning on leaving after this semester and stuff... I don't know how capable I am at a relationship right now anyway, but this girl is really nice and I do like her. So I think I'm just going to take things slow and see what happens.

I feel good right now, gonna play some guitar for a while.

- max





@ 6:08 AM

So classes were cancelled up until 10 today, kinda nice for me since I only have to go to history now and that's not until 1. Now why am I up at 6 you ask? Oh my silly subconscious has it out for me again. Maybe if I were to hit myself really hard I would just go out and not dream or anything. It's either that or sleeping pills of some kind, but they have freaked me out ever since the nightmare before elm street. Not that I have dreams about Freddy Kruger or anything, I just don't think I could survive another clown dream if I couldn't wake up. Oh well, I have seven hours until my next class. Going to go find something to do.

- max





Sunday, January 25 @ 10:45 AM

One other thing, I had the single most messed up dream in my entire life last night. I don't think it's a good idea to get into it, all I can say is that I don't want to sleep again for a very long time.

- max





@ 8:21 AM

So I fell asleep at 11 or so last night, I guess I was still wiped out from Friday. I have the Pete and Pete theme song stuck in my head... Please don't ask me how it got in there. Anyway it got me thinking, they should make some Pete and Pete dvds. That was a quality show, it airs on Noggin, but we don't have that channel. So the only times I get to ride the nostalgia wave is when I visit my grandfather in north carolina. Oh well, random thoughts are fun!

- max





Saturday, January 24 @ 9:47 PM

Blogging from lukes at the moment. After a rather interesting excursion to Barnes we have returned here to rock some video games out. They're kinda kicking our ass at the moment though.

I'm somewhat anxious about tomorrow... but I think I'll be alright. I mean, I talked to her yesterday and it wasn't an issue, and I didn't even know her.

Looks like we're watching the Osbournes now, not really my thing but it's something to do. I'll probably post again when I get home in a little bit. That's all for now.

- max





@ 11:39 AM

Had to take a break from kung pow to get coffee with my aunt. It was pretty nice, I haven't talked to her in a while so it was good to catch up on things. She wants me to come visit her in Seattle and I REALLY want to. I just don't have the time right now, I will be working all summer for the most part at tls for my dad, and the little bit of time off I have is going to be spent with my friends. As soon as I have the time I'm totally going though, I mean it's Seattle, there's stuff to do there. Southern Indiana isn't all it's cracked up to be... oh wait. It's not cracked up to be anything.

Going to return to kung pow now, today will be full of silly movies until some friends get off of work.

It's 8:40 and i'm watching Kung Pow... This is going to be an interesting day.

I met a really cool girl today, was kinda unexpected. That's how things work though I guess. Can't really complain, I had fun with my friends tonight. That's all for now.

Friday, January 23 @ 11:28 AM

Do yourself a favor, watch more Conan. It's really wonderful that comedy central airs them during the day now. Sometimes that show is all I really need to be ok with the world... Well maybe not quite, but it does help.

So I have friends that are looking to set me up with someone, I guess that's cool. I mean I'd kinda like to date around a little bit right now to get my mind off of some things. I don't really want anything serious though. Just wanted to say thanks to my friends who are looking out for me, I really do appreciate it.

Thursday, January 22 @ 10:09 PM

My den has been hijacked! I didn't realize a phone cord would stretch all the way too my room. Lucky for me that it did. No tv in here though, kinda gave that to my mom a while ago because i'm usually never in here. No cartoons or movies for max. Oh well, I still have my computer which means I have some music and this thing, that will do.

Currently listening to Tiger Army- True Romance. Very obsessive, but I think it kicks ass. Under Saturns shadow is pretty good too... Actually all of power of moonlight is good. Check em out.

- max





@ 7:01 AM

Things have a way of working themselves out, for a while I wanted to believe that but had some trouble. It's starting to look that way though, some wonderful kids that I've known for quite some time are finally getting the happiness they deserve and that really makes me feel good. When my friends are happy I am happy. Well, minus the sore shoulder, darn little brothers. Time to go to class now... All of my classes. Then catch up on some much needed sleep.

Not listening to anything right now because I'm heading out the door, I'm thinking some rufio or rancid will be the travel music for today.

- max





Wednesday, January 21 @ 11:48 PM

My brother tackled me about an hour ago kinda out of the blue... After a 10 minute wrestling match I convinced him to go upstairs and leave me alone. I think I pulled something in my shoulder though. Not so fun. Oh well, I think I'm going to sleep now. After today's mini vacation I can't miss anymore class.

Currently listening to Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing. Wonderful song, you should check it out.

- max





@ 6:59 PM

Today I discovered that all I really need is the open road and a good cd. I think that prettymuch covers it.

- max





@ 9:15 AM

Currently listening to afi, the last kiss. Good song, very angry though, doesn't really fit the mood but I just needed to rock out ya know?

Oh yes, this is me waking up and realizing that my econ class started about 10 minutes ago. Oops. I checked the syllabus though, we're not doing much today so I don't feel too bad.

Well, I'm gone make some breakfast and I think I'm gonna go for a run. I feel pretty good right now. Later kids

- max





Tuesday, January 20 @ 10:52 PM

I'm still listening to that song... you know the one I posted on here right under this. It's pretty... and I haven't heard it in years. So i'm just a tad obsessed with it right now.

Lately i've kinda avoided talking to some people, not that I have an issue with them or anything. I just don't really have anything to say, and I value our friendship and the conversations we have enough to where I think silly small talk isn't needed. So if I haven't talked to you in a while don't feel bad... if you would feel bad about it that is.

I hardly slept at all last night, and didn't get much make up for it today. Gonna try now I think.

@ 10:18 AM

There was nothing to eat when I came home so I started making a salad. Just about finished making it when I noticed that we didn't have any croutons... I still wanted something crunchy in there though. I searched the cabinets for some crackers of some sort, but couldn't find anything. Then I saw some gram crackers on the counter... Sure why not? Suprisingly good in salads.
That is all for now.

- max





@ 6:45 AM

I decided that my poli sci class is worthless and I'm going to blow it off today so I can come home and sleep. Not really the wisest decision with the whole academic probation, but since the guy dumbed the class down this semester it's about as challenging as the government class I took freshmen year.

My dog is staring at me... I can't eat my toast. Really going to get ready for class now.

- max





@ 6:37 AM

Currently listening to some rufio, popish punk rock, but it's good stuff. Nice guitar, better than average lyrics and vocals, and some of their songs just have a knack for describing how I feel.

Listen to above me, good song... kinda obsessive but still good. Oh yeah, Smoore is cool for listening to nofx. Punk in Drublic was one of my favorite cds. Tragically lost in the whole no playing offensive cds at work where your dad is the boss thing... Oh well.

Yes I do realize it's 6 am... did you know that I'm going on about 2 hours sleep? Wee! Time to get ready for class.

Monday, January 19 @ 11:37 PM

Ya know, one advantage to my recent bit of antisocialness has been the improvement of my guitar playing... I used to think I was pretty good, all though highschool all I would really do is play. I was proud of my abilities and I even thought about going to school for it, it didn't really work out though. Summer came and I had to get a job, working for my dad at Toyota, the money was wonderful... more than any kid my age deserves, but the hours were terrible. It really cut into the time I spent with my friends and my guitar playing. I regressed a lot over the summer, couldn't play half the things that weren't much of an issue before. It stayed that way over the first semester of school, I'm not real sure why. I had all the time in the world, I just didn't play as much as I used to. Because of the schedule I'm on I rarely see any of my friends during the week. I've been dedicating this time to myself to two things really, conditioning my body for this summer... and working on the guitar. Both seem to be coming along pretty well, I'm kinda happy right now. At least as happy as one antisocial kid can be.

Since I got that 6 hour nap in earlier it's going to be kinda tough to get to sleep, I should really make an effort though, morning classes aren't so friendly to insomniacs. I don't really want to sleep though, I had a weird dream today. Nothing scary or painful, just weird. I'm not going to get into it here.

Plans for the rest of the night... play for an hour or two, attempt some sleep.
Sounds good, i'm done.

@ 6:28 PM

Don't ya just love it when you're sitting there watching a movie and then all of a sudden you look around and it's 6 hours later? There will be no sleeping tonight.

Brett: Yes.
Jules Winnfield: Describe what Marsellus Wallace looks like!

@ 1:46 AM

Played my guitar until my fingers started to hurt... Not like an annoyance... I played until I physically could not anymore. It was good for me though, I've been kinda lazy with my playing lately and it's made me regress a bit. A few weeks of this stuff and I'll be decent again I think. Starting to get tired now so I think I'll leave you with something new. Saturdays will be when I unveil qotw... Why Saturdays you ask? Well because I didn't think of doing this until now... And it's Saturday, well crap actually it's Sunday but I'm saying Saturday because it's my blog and I'll do whatever I please! So here is this weeks quote.

"An unusual series of events will teach you to never underestimate the abilities of a master ninja or pastry chef."

Saturday, January 17 @ 10:57 PM

Jeni said I'm a mess tonight... That's more or less true, but the company of good friends was all I really needed to feel good again.

Saw Sara today, it's kinda weird seeing someone for the first time in 5 or so months. I dunno if she saw me or not, I was watching the band play so I didn't really make an effort to talk to her. Oh well, weird.

Jeni also told me that she had new ideas for songs, this is very good because I spent about 3 hours playing last night and I have plenty of ideas as well. Yay for songwriting.

A rather cute girl at the wadi talked me into buying a cd that I didn't really want... Not that I didn't like the band, it's just that my friend just bought the cd and he lives across the street from me. It's kinda funny what a little persistence and some smiles can do to me. I'm a dork.

Random thoughts = fun. Don't think there will be a whole lot of sleeping tonight, I may be back later.

- max





@ 2:56 PM

Last night my laptop died. I had to wipe everything on there and reboot with the startup disks. Really not fun... It's all better now though. I'm tired, I think i'll go take a nap.

- max





Friday, January 16 @ 11:51 PM

Songwriting wasn't as productive as last time, but it was still a lot of fun. I think I'm finally going to start taking some of the advice that a friend has been trying to give me for quite some time now. It's not really easy, but it has to be done... hopefully I'll be better for it.

I still have a lot of thoughts going though my head, no jeni to help sort them out into song though. It looks like I'm going to spend the night with my guitar, ya know she was right when she said that thing was better than a girlfriend sometimes. I mean, not in a lot of ways obviously, but since I've never been good with words it gives me a chance to get my feelings out.

I may not get a lot of sleep tonight, not sure if I'll be back on here though. Oh well, later.

- max





Thursday, January 15 @ 10:45 PM

Yay for more songwriting with Jeni, tomorrow will be very good for me. Since my finger healed i've been playing guitar like a mofo... I have so many ideas.

I have a lot of thoughts going though my head right now, I think i'm gonna keep em in there for now though. Fuel for tomorrow, so I think that's it for now.

- max





Wednesday, January 14 @ 11:48 PM

Today was kinda boring, class + nap. These days are needed though, otherwise what would I have to compare to the good ones? I've been a bit antisocial this week, not really intentionally, just don't see anyone on the schedule that I'm on. I'm thinking that if I have to wake up in 6 hours I should probably go to sleep now. So, I guess I'm done for tonight.

Oh yeah, I wrote a new guitar thingie, I think it's pretty. I have an idea for lyrics too, I'll have to talk to jeni soon. Sleepy time, silly subconscious...

- max





Tuesday, January 13 @ 10:35 PM

So I talked to Sara today... I don't think I've written about her much on here. I honestly haven't had that much to say, we were together she hurt me we stopped being together. It happened a while ago and I'm over it so there was really not much to write about on here. Anyway we were talking about stupid stuff, you know the kind of stuff you talk about when you have nothing to say? Well we were talking and she decided she was going to talk about how certain songs reminded her of me. There are some songs that remind me of her too... though I don't really like to listen to them anymore, anyway we spent a little bit of time talking about that stuff and then she apologized. I'm not really sure if she was apologizing for bringing up the songs? Or the relationship in general... in any case it made me feel pretty weird. It's weird because I haven't really thought about her too much over the last couple of months, I mean yeah I was hurt... but it was over the summer, forever ago. I got over it, I don't understand why an apology had to come now. Oh well, like I said... it happened a while ago, I'm over it. She was forgiven.

I still feel weird.

- max





@ 12:21 PM

Monday, January 12 @ 10:09 PM

So class today wasn't so bad, it's a bit of an adjustment waking up early but it's really nothing to complain about. I found out that my friend mike has the same 3 hour break as me... so now I have someone to go to the gym with. This is very good news because I want to be in nice shape for the lake this summer.

I'm currently watching feeling minnesota, it's not really what I'd call a great movie, but it's entertaining... or maybe I'm just easily amused. I should be getting to bed pretty soon, till I get used to this waking up thing. I'm out for now.

- max





Sunday, January 11 @ 10:30 PM

So I start classes tomorrow... morning classes. Ew... I guess it's not that bad though, more incentive to use the gym after class and come home to start the day. It will be kinda nice to be done with everything by 11.

I was inspired to write something recently, but I can't really work on it because my finger is still hurting a little. The tune is still in my head though so that's good. Hopefully i'll still remember it tomorrow.

Sleep now I guess, it's a tad early to be going to bed even if I have to wake up early tomorrow, i'm still pretty tired from last night/this morning though.

- max





@ 3:59 AM

That's not all I guess, some things I forgot.

Jarboe, you are my best friend , I miss you already man. I seriously can't wait until I come up to ball state to chill with my Irish brother. You and Jeni give me hope about a lot of things, I love you kids to death. Take care and I'll see you soon.

Julie, you crack me up kid, I had such a good time tonight. I'm sorry some things aren't going so great for you at school but if you ever need anything at all just call. This wonderful new cellular device allows me to talk to my good friends whenever they need me. I love ya, take care.

Leah, the day that I'm too cool for you, I don't want to be me anymore... not worded the best I suppose, but that's how it came out tonight and I'm keeping it that way. You are nothing short of amazing, I have loved the time we've spent together recently and I hope that I'll see you again before you leave.

I realize that these posts are directed to specific people, and to the random reader it may seem weird that I use this thing just to "shout out" to my friends, but ya know what? It's my blog and I'll use it for whatever I want :) I'm thinking that after my friends leave and things get settled down, this will return to expressions of my thoughts and feelings, but right now I just wanted to let some pretty amazing people know I care. Seriously, that's all for tonight/today... whatever.

@ 3:38 AM

I feel really good right now... minus the injured guitar playing finger, but it's ok. I had a very nice night/morning with my friends. This is probably the best i've felt all year. That is all.

- max





Saturday, January 10 @ 2:11 PM

I cut my finger today, kidna makes playing my guitar a bitch. Considering that it's my only real outlet for my feelings... i'm kinda sad right now.

- max





@ 2:12 AM

I'm very much looking forward to transferring up to ball state even if it may take a while... Matt Jarboe is my best friend, that kid is there for me whenever I need him and I really do appreciate the talks that we have, I cannot wait till I'm at school with him so we can have these talks all the time.
Hrm... that may have sounded a tad gay... I assure you I love the ladies. I just have much love for my Irish brother.

I had a very nice time over at Leahs tonight too, she is a wonderful kid and I'm always happy to spend time with her. I also enjoyed the company of Julie and Erin, those girls crack me up. Underworld was fun, yay for vampires fighting werewolves! Much to do tomorrow, I should probably sleep.

Thursday, January 8 @ 10:09 PM

I went out with jarboe and leah today and we acted like children while we searched for gifts for jarboes woman. It was very fun, i'm going to miss days like these where I can act silly with my friends without anything at all to worry about. Tonight was nice, that is all for now.

- max





Wednesday, January 7 @ 11:37 PM

Jeni and I wrote a song today! Probably the best one that I've been a part of. It's pretty amazing how after talking to her about how I feel she can come up with something beautiful. I've got a lot of work to do on the guitar end... I like what I wrote for it, but it's going to take a lot of effot to make it all fit just right. It felt so good to get some of that stuff out of my system, had to draw back on some feelings from years ago but it made for pretty music. After the wonderful music making I met up with some good friends at Barnes, and hey I have my pseudo girlfriend again! Ha funny... it's kinda sad though, my fake relationship with leah outlasted my longest real one by almost two months now. Oh well, I can't really complain, the music thing is looking up... maybe I'll meet some groupies? That's all for now.

- max





@ 1:44 AM

Tonight was fun, I enjoyed spending time with my friends. Tomorrow I finally get a chance to write a bit with Jeni and hopefully get some of these feelings I've been having lately out of my system. I have tons of ideas for songs tomorrow... who knows what will actually get out there though. This post sounds a little generic but I just really don't feel like going into too much depth on my feelings right now, I guess that's what tomorrow is for. I may post some of what we come up with tomorrow depending on how personal it is and who the songs concern... never know who reads these silly things anyway. Or maybe I do know who reads this and that's the problem? Funny how that stuff works. I think I'll probably post some anyway just to give everyone a taste of what we're capable of :) Sleepy time now.

Tuesday, January 6 @ 10:41 AM

After watching stand by me I did some thinking... I kinda wish I had friends like that. I mean I love the friends I have, they're amazing people. It's not that I don't love being friends with them, it's just weird because, as good of friends as we all are I've only known them for a couple of years. I've moved 15 times now and because of that I have no solid home. I mean now Evansville is home, but it's not like i've been somewhere all my life and established roots and all that stuff. The friends I have tell stories about when they were children and the crazy adventures they got into, i'm happy for them. Sometimes I just wish I had that too.

- max





Monday, January 5 @ 11:12 PM

I picked up some movies today... the boondock saints because I heard lots of good things about it, it was pretty good. I'll have to show it to my Irish brother Jarboe, he will enjoy it lots. Stand by me because it's a wonderful movie that i've loved for quite some time now, and Vampire hunter d because i'm a big geek.

I'm having a small gathering tomorrow for some close friends, it should be lots of fun. There are some things that I'd like to get out of my system, not real sure how to word it yet... which means i'll be back in a bit.

- max





@ 1:59 AM

Jarboe, Jeni, and Leah are some amazing kids. I had a very nice time with my friends tonight. That is all :)

- max





Saturday, January 3 @ 10:02 PM

So, I decided that I wasn't going to be sick anymore and I was going to be social tonight. Went to see paradigim at the briar and bean with jeni and some kids. It was fun, pretty good show, though i'd really like to see them play electric... they're an alt rock band that was doing some pretty hardcore acoustic and I wanna see them in their real element. After the show I stayed around for a bit talking to Jen and some kids, when I say I was talking I mean I stood around for a while. After a little bit I headed out, not before giving Jeni the cds I made for her forever ago. We're finally gonna start our music thing! I am very excited! Anyway going to watch donnie darko now... i've heard good things. I feel pretty good right now :)

- max





@ 2:43 AM

Another day of lying around recovering... think it's finally paid off though. I think i'm over my cold. I need to get outside more though, lying on the couch all day isn't good for me. Sleepy time for now.

Oh yeah, jessie you rule... talking to you tonight made me feel so much better about everything. Thanks a lot!

- max





Friday, January 2 @ 1:30 AM

Oh, it's maybe not the best idea to watch Identity and then drive home from the middle of nowhere, alone in the pouring rain in the middle of the night. I just thought I'd share!

- max





@ 1:28 AM

I hung out with my good friends Jarboe and Jeni today. It was nice playing pool and talking about things, we watched a movie as well. The thing is... when I was with them it was also a little painful because it made me realize how alone I am. I mean, I have friends and that's wonderful, but seeing them together really made me want to be with someone again. I haven't felt that way in about 5 months now so it's a little odd I guess. The only trouble with that is I haven't met anyone that interests me. Well, there is one person that interests me kinda, but I'm fairly sure it's never going to happen so I don't really think about it.

I'm hoping that when the next semester starts I'll be able to meet some cool kids and possibly find a nice girl? I dunno if that's really a good idea though because I'm really looking to transfer out after this year. Wow, that's no good... I really shouldn't complain though because I don't have it that bad.

Oh well, tonight was still fun.

- max





Thursday, January 1 @ 2:53 AM

One more thing... To a certain friend who took some time to check up on me based on reading my silly little posts here. Thanks kid, you're such an amazing person and it means a lot to me that you care.

- max





@ 2:48 AM

Tonight was pretty nice, I still felt pretty bad but the company of a few incredible people made everything alright. I'm sorry that I'm a spazz and an idiot. I may very well be the furthest thing from smooth, witty or charming. I'm ok though, the company of good friends made me feel good again.

I love you guys, sleepy time.
