| | L'Via L'Viaquez--The Mars Volta | ] |
I just watched "Rushmore". It was very good. I highly reccommend it. Jason Schwartzman is brilliant. Why is that guy so unknown, even though he's phenominal in both that and "I Heart Huckabees" (which is another must-see)??? He's definatly one of the most talented actors of our time.
Speaking of talents of our time...
There is hope yet for music of my generation. Between The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Polyphonic Spree, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and The Mars Volta, things are actually looking good. The Mars Volta are simply amazing. They are so incredibly good it's ridiculous. The lyrics are creepy as fuck, but the music is amazing. Imagine the Beatles, mixed with Godspeed and some hard rock, throw in half fucked-up Morrison-esque lyrics and half Spanish lyrics, and you've got The Mars Volta. They're amazing. I suggest you check them out.
I'm bored. Today started off wondefully though, and last night was phenominal, so I shouldn't complain. Any morning that begins with Jordan Reynolds is going to be good. Tomorrow promises to be excellent as well. Vacation is looking out to be pretty swell. And I couldn't be happier.
Blackmailed, she fell off every mountain, the ones they tightly wrapped in tape. In her eraser sang the guilty, as it made the best mistake. And with every body that I find, and with every Claymore that they mine, I won't forget who I'm looking for, oh mother help me, I'm looking for. |

| | Stairway To Heaven--Led Zeppelin | ] |
I'm listening to Led Zeppelin. Before last night, I haven't listened to them in a long time. I'd forgotten how good some of their songs are.
A new day will dawn for those who stand long.
I wish I could play music. All my friends are musically inclined. So is my sister and my dad. I wish I could pick a guitar and play some decent sounding chords and string together a cool tune. But I can't. I've all but given up on guitar. It makes me sad. I should get on that. I still suck though.
Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind.
And in other news, I'm no longer going to Bow prom. Shucks. I was really excited for that. But oh well. I understand. Aida and Jo are best friends and it's kinda her final hurrah here in the US of A. She should take him instead of me. Makes more sense. Not gonna lie: a little disappointed, but not upset. Oh well. I have two years ahead of me.
To be a rock, and not to roll.
It's weird. I hardly talk to anyone in my own class (at Hopkinton) anymore. Off the top of my head, I can think of about eight guys and three or four girls. To be perfectly honest, I don't really miss that many people. Hardly anyone, in fact. I don't think I truely "miss" anyone. Even a few of my upper/underclassmen friends I'm drifting from. Some of them I am starting to miss, so I'm working on changing that dilema ASAP.
IF YOU FEEL WE DON'T TALK/HANG OUT ENOUGH ANYMORE ASK ME TO. I WILL.
My eyes fill with sand as I scan this wasted land.
I'm still really concerned with this whole "issue." If you know the issue I'm refering to (the one involving our friend and his little problem) and have any ideas on what to do, talk to me. This can't go on much longer, cause something very bad could, and most likely will at this rate, happen.
And when I'm out I see you walkin'. Why don't your eyes see me?
I'm now listening to "That's the Way" and I've never really thought about the lyrics before, but now I get it. It's about letting go of the past and moving on from friends and stuff like that. Wow. Totally relevant. Not so much right now, but a few months ago totally. In fact, the whole feeling started about two years ago, but climaxed about six months ago. Now I've come to terms with the fact that most of my friends weren't really a plausible part of my future. But, earlier I was reluctant to accept that. I've settled now and have a spot. I have more close friends now than I think I've ever had. I totally dig it. When I stop to think about it, I can't even remember how I first met most of them, but that's totally cool.
Momma said that's the way, that's the way it oughtta stay.
As some of you know, I've also completely changed my outlook on relationships and all that. I've taken a complete 180º turn from where I used to be. I'm so much more happy and content with myself and my life now. It's a wondeful feeling. I'm tellin ya man, free lovin' is the way to go.
Darlin', darlin', darlin', walk a while with me...
I love how it's summer already. I don't even need to wear shoes anymore. And it's not even Easter!!! Fuck yeah man. I can't wait to just walk around barefoot all summer. Going to the mastyards, hanging out, tree climbing, sleeping on the lawn, stargazing... Aw man, all the things I love about summer are going to be increased tenfold this summer. I can feel it.
To all those who will not be living in the greater Concord area next year: We MUST cause as much mischif and meyhem as we possibly can this summer. I will miss you guys terribly. Teal, Nate, Jordan (who won't be reading this as he does not have a Live Journal) and all the rest... (you know who you are): You guys are my brothers and sisters. We gotta live it the fuck up. Have a day. Celebrate. My friends, this will be a summer to remember. |

Yeah, so I just wrote my intro and two body paragraphs to my Huck Finn essay in about fourty five minutes. Woot. Hopefully it actually makes sense. I'm done for now. I'm not worried about it anymore, though. And I, like I said, I don't have to worry about what to get people for Christmas anymore. Now I just have to worry about the quarter project. And the debate for that. And the Huck Finn debate. And the debate for Bio. At least I like to debate.
Ugh, this is still going to be one short Christas vacation... |

Friday December 23rd - Bow Community Building @ 7pm
Toys For Tots Fundraiser .... $5 or a toy for admission
Tapioca Fugitive, Teal and the Lickers, Take A Gan and Monday Mourning, along with another band from BHS
This will be an awesome live,local music show, so be sure to come and support Toys For Tots during the Holiday Season and to support your local bands!
Yeah, that's right.
Now for the copywrite info: No, I didn't actually make that flyer thing up. I stole it from Jordan's profile. Who probably got it from Jordan. Whateva.
In other news, I got all my Christmas shopping done. Which means I got three things and spent 72 dollars. Whats up now? Yeah, I thought about getting stuff for friends or whatever, then I realized three things: One, I didn't really feel like getting anybody anything. Two, I didn't want to spend more money. Three, I knew I wouldn't be getting anything from them, and I know that doesn't really fit into the whole "Holiday Spirit" thing, but whatever. Ok, four things: Four, I didn't know who to get stuff for or what to get them. If I got one person something, then I'd feel obligated to get other people stuff. Yeah, that's how it goes. |

So, it's been a while, hasn't it?
What's new in the life of Max, you say? Well, not too much.
But my social life is finally blossoming. And I like it. I like it a lot. I'm hanging out with more/new people, mostly from Bow. It feels good to expand my horizons. And they're really cool. And they all have similar intrests as me, as well as the same taste in music, which I don't find so much at school. This band thing is also really fun and is working out well. And on that note, CONCERT NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT, THE 23ed! BOW COMMUNITY CENTER. IT WILL BENEFIT "TOYS FOR TOTS" COME!!!!
Yeah. So if you said you would come to the last one, and didn't, you'd best come to this one. Or something might happen. And it will be bad. I won't tell you. But when it happens... you'll know.
But yes. I'm rambling. I dunno. I guess I don't really have much else to say. Other than that everything is pretty much same old, same old. |

So I forgot to mention this last night.
Guess what I learned last night???
Both Will and Joe are OLDER than me, even though they're freshman. Weiiiiiird!! Will's birthday is June 19, Joe's is June 24, mine is June 29. Ain't that something??? |

So that was fun. Woke up early, around nineish. Ate two peices of toast. Went to Joe's house at around 10:30. He was still asleep, even though he told me to be there at ten. Silly. So then we hung out. Then the other Joe came. Then we hung out some more. Then Will came. Then we hung out a little more. Then Chris came. Then we played music. Then Joe left. Then Chris left. Then Will, Joe and I loaded up Joe's mom's van with all of our equipment, even Chris' bass and Joe's keyboard. Why didn't they take those?? I dunno either. So then we drove to the Community Center. Then we set up. Then we listened to music. Well, I did. Joe and Chris were playing most of the time. I danced. Sammy Schlepp came. I chilled with him, Tara, Zoë and Taylor. Kat sucks for not coming. So does everybody else who said they'd come, but didn't. You know who you are.
So then we played. It went well, although people said they couldn't hear me. Whatever, probably good since I had no idea what the hell I was doing, and am actually in the band as of today. Whateva. Then I danced more to hard-core stuff. I met a bunch of new people from Bow who I really liked. One was named Starcey (or something like that. Star-see). I liked her name. She was pretty too. I liked her. But I also liked other people too. It was fun. I had fun. You're upset you didn't go. Cool. Later. |

So:
Things right now are pretty good. I'm satisified. Nothing really bugging me anymore, and I'm feeling kinda liberated right now. I like it.
Will asked me to be second percussionist in Take-A-Gan. Duh, I said yes. Totally pumped for that. We'll see how that goes. Hopefully amazing.
Speaking of amazing...
I saw the Australian Pink Floyd last night. Amazing pretty much sums it up. They sound almost EXACTLY like the real Floyd. Didn't see my band mates and other Bow friends there, which was disappointing. Found out today they had a box. And didn't come searching for me to join in the festivities. Jeeze. Saw Nelson and Story though. And Lilly Scheffey. Twas a great night. I loved it. Totally pumped even more for the Rolling Stones now. |

Who wants to be in/involved with a movie for the film festival? I'm going to make one, and am going to start a script this weekend. If you're interested let me know, so I know roughly how many parts to write for it. It's going to be small. Something we can do easily, nothing fancy. Not like Star Wars (which, by the way, is still going down this summer. Got postponed, but we're still on!) definatly smaller. I have some ideas floating around, but I'm not sure yet. Definatly going to be a drama, not comedy. Let me know.

Today was pretty slick.
School. Whateva.
Hawk Talk. Went well. Except me making an idiot of myself when I couldn't think of the word "registration." I'm over it.
Drama. Not bad. Didn't have to do anything.
Panera with Nate. Amazing. Then with Cassie, Amber and Susie. Then Mr. Timm. Then Helen and Erin. It was a sick Hopkinton Babes and Nate/Max party. Twas fun.
Ride back to drama. Hilarious. I love listening to the Spree with Nate.
"DON'T FAIL ME COEFFICIANT OF STATIC!"
Rehearsal for "Damn Yankees". Fuck. That. Shit, man.
Home. Battlefront II? AMAZING AS EVER!
So yeah. Twas sick. |
