Not Coming Home

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:33:00 GMT

got a show tomorrow at 10pm. unfortunately tony can't be there so we had to get another bassist to fill in and our trumpet player's not gonna be there either but it should still be pretty cool. we're gonna do a three part harmony in norwegian wood.
set list:

come when i call
coca cola
don't call me tomorrow
norwegian wood
her majesty
josipa
i don't need no doctor
*some type of slow blues* (maybe "out of my mind")

dear ex love

one of the cruelest things that you can do is just barely be around
but you know that don't you?

i have changed my ways

i even buy books i saw you read
and i recite whitman
what more could you need?

could you stay a bit longer
i'm starting to remember the summertime
i think i'm starting to remember the summertime

you brush up against me
float away slowly

what a cruel thing to do to my heart

signing for my soul and body

oh no, this is wrong
this is wrong
but i love you

i bet you already knew that too

i like ordering books and cds online and waiting for them to get here. the waiting and their arrival almost equals their contents

Radiohead's cover of a Bjork song

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn

The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it

tonight I'll go to sleep with a smile

and a clean pair of socks

oh how she can make that deck sing

I would like to have said a lot more

I can't seem to get an A on an econ test. I've consistently received 17/20 on every single test! It's getting annoying actually because I want to sign the pants on the wall. I've decided that if I write cryptically then I can come back to this journal later and scour it for lyrics. I got 99% on the stats test which means yet again I don't get to go on the wall for that class haha sooo close but never quite there.

I'm listening to "Georgia On My Mind" Hooray for Ray Charles! I've been practicing "I Don't Need No Doctor" cause I think I'm gonna play it at the gig on Saturday. Stats hw sucks. I got in trouble in stats today for playing Sheepshead. Apparently our teacher doesn't like cards in class. Hey, if I wanna fail then that's my choice. I wasn't disrupting her or anything, it's a very silent game. I need to find more people that I can play Sheepshead with.

I now carry a deck of cards in my pocket. And I learned how to shuffle.

I guess I'll start out the way most everyone else does in a livejournal entry. Wow I haven't updated this thing in a while.

Soo just to keep anyone who actually does read this updated, I got accepted into Berklee College of Music with a 14k scholarship but the tuition is still 40k. I hate to take out loans but it looks like that's what's going to happen. I applied for a job at guitar center even though I don't like the employees there. They still haven't contacted me so I think I'll go back down there soon and bug them. I'm not sure what I'm gonna major in. Performance or songwriting? This is a tough choice for me and I'm open to suggestions.

My aunt moved two days ago. While we were moving the fridge into the moving truck, it almost fell on my cousin's foot which was exciting. We basically defied the laws of physics to get that beast into place. While carting the massive television up a flight of stairs, we almost smashed my other cousin's head in for good but thank God he has strong neck muscles that he can flex on command (kind of kidding.) Other than that, I can't feel my arms from the moving but it's all good cause I gotta start working out again anyway.

Well, back to guitar! Gotta keep making beautiful music. I'm trying to decide if I should post songs or soon-to-be songs on here.

summer is going great. 24/7 guitar. i am now in love with this song:

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and I have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When I spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
I won't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen

prom's over and thank God. same with school. now i can really start playing guitar

Mon, 28 May 2007 17:16:20 GMT

i am not in love
i am above love
no i am not in love
i am so far above love
no matter what you say i am not in love

doesn't it sound like i'm in love?

Mon, 28 May 2007 01:18:18 GMT

i cannot believe i have been neglecting guitar so much! i am recommitting myself haha i feel like i have cheated on my guitar! but that's okay, i will make it up to her.

i made a new song and i like it sooo that's all that matters. yes soo if you want the tabs or lyrics or a recording just ask.

my aunt dropped off my uncle's guitar and it is pretty awesome. it's an acoustic and it sounds beautiful so i have another one to cherish! :D

i've been using bittorrent a lot lately (you should get it) and so i've added a ton to my music collection which is exactly what i need right now. please tell me if you know of any bands that i should listen to because i'm am desperately in need of new music. the beatles' white album is amazing! and queen is fantastic as always haha

adios mates! (australian spanish)

Wed, 23 May 2007 23:43:41 GMT

well everything finally makes sense. i can't say i'm very happy about it but i'd rather know something is lost than wonder.

Tue, 08 May 2007 23:23:11 GMT

sooo AP spanish is over! it was verrry long. next is calc. study study study!!

Tue, 08 May 2007 02:20:07 GMT

now is AP time. anyway, i'm going to ignore that fact because all it does is stress me out. if anyone is actually reading this they should really check out the band get back loretta. they're absolutely amazing. http://www.myspace.com/getbackloretta

sooo today i went to panda express and there was this human behind the counter but i couldn't tell if it was a man or a women. its name was "moo" which i thought was extremely awesome and i almost started laughing but luckily i held it in.

i've been writing a lot of stuff lately and i think it's cool that it doesn't all sound the same so i'm happy.

it's only 7 and i'm feeling pretty tired so i think i'm gonna go to sleep early cause i have the spanish test tomorrow.

i'm trying to decide if i should put more personal things on here. it's weird: i want people to know about my personal stuff but i don't want them to remember anything.

Sat, 05 May 2007 16:50:24 GMT

music will get you through this!
oh yes, and i'm tired of hugs when they don't mean anything.

"it's very depressing knowing you're drowning"
and then he gave out a laugh

Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:01:30 GMT

i think this is the first time i've ever written what i'm gonna say in someones yearbook in advance. it's really important so it needs to be just right and for some reason i have a feeling i'm not gonna be able to find the right words.

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:55:41 GMT

i'm going to perform in the assembly so that should be interesting. i hope it's groovy.

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 05:24:20 GMT

i might get to see the john mayer trio in june so that will be amazing. david ryan harris is pretty good.

Sun, 25 Feb 2007 04:55:59 GMT

i went walking today. i wish i could say more.

i went to see bijou at his job and it was fun to hang out cause we haven't hung out in a long time. his car is awesome with the paint and stereo system.

i could use a friend. you don't even need an application. :)

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:53:46 GMT

i think i will add music to this. i hate having inspiration like this.

come on heart
keep pumping that blood
i just need two more minutes
to say goodbye

come on brain
don't shy away just yet
i need just one more minute
to tell her what i meant

come on body
just stop shaking for five seconds
and i'll hand back the flowers
and all that you gave me

whose mind was capable of such thoughts?

why the hell is this burning room so cold?

after you've said your goodbyes
these things won't let me sleep
not even one more night

the thing that kills me the most
is how sincere you're making me be

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 03:57:16 GMT

i find it kind of funny
i find it kind of sad
the dreams in which i'm dying are the best i've ever had

wow you would not believe how much that scared me just now.
i misinterpreted someone saying "i lost you" and welllll let's just
say it was not a good feeling in the stomach.

Mon, 19 Feb 2007 06:25:19 GMT

hmm i suppose i want too much

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 18:40:03 GMT

i'm deathly in love with you
you don't even realize

with every step up this ladder
i can't stand to see the drop

i honestly don't want to love you

cause i know you have to leave

i'm deathly in love with you
you don't even realize
