Seasons over, and although i was unhappy with some of my races in the middle of the season when i was hurt, I had a nice streak of good races at the end. I was 5th freshman today and got a time of 12:32... a minute better than my time at Bay States! I'm extremely happy today so if anyone wants to do me... i mean... do something with me, please fell no need not to indulge. So long...

10:11 pm - Stop All the World Now
|
Hey, long weekend still isnt over! So far I've had a great time hanging out with Kris and Kenan and stuff. I would like to see some other people tomorrow so let me know if you're in! I got the new Howie Day cd and I'm loving it! Good music, good lyrics.
"Brace Yourself"
So you think
you can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I would hold
every part of you I could
hold
And I’m on
And I’m on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have..love
I’m in love again
Brace yourself
Now
So you feel anything and everything could be
All that you wanted
Stay with me
I’m in no condition to be
Alone
And I’m on
And I’m on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have..love
I’m in love again
Brace yourself
Now
On and on
Sold me to your false alarm
Maybe I’ll
Hold my breath and you’ll be gone
With all that you have
And all that you wanted
With all that you have
And all that you wanted
With all that you have
And all that you wanted
So you think
you can hold the world up by a string
With all that you have
And I would hold
every part of you I could
hold
And I’m on
And I’m on again
Brace yourself
With all that you have..love
I’m in love again
Brace yourself
Now
Brace
With all that you have
Brace
With all that you have
Brace
With all that you have

7:07 pm - Saturday Night I'm Makin Ruiz!
|
I injured myself in XC today :( I hurt my knee again during warm ups but stuck out the pain and ran the race and somehow got a PR of 22:23! Our record is 5-0 so far... BIG SUPRISE! The Methuen meet is going to be insane.
ANNOUNCEMENT! I'm listening to La Villa Strangiato by Rush and its awesome! OH YEAH! HEADBANG!
Okay, so Liz thinks i hate her or something... what the fuck? Just because I choose to not me talkative in the morning and that I don't sit with her and Kaitlyn and all them at lunch doesnt mean anything. Well, it does mean that I'm very happy to spending more time with Julia now. Before I NEVER saw her and its quite wonderful to see her in the halls and to eat lunch with her.
I need to start playing music in groups again now!

6:24 pm - I'm Happy Again :-)
|
Brace Yourself
Morning After
Trouble in Here
I'll Take You On
Sunday Morning Song
Perfect Time of Day
Secret
Numbness for Sound
Sorry So Sorry (Solo)
Ghost > Beams of Light (Solo)
Collide
You & a Promise
She Says
1st Encore:
Buzzing > Africa (Solo)
Madrigals (Solo)
2nd Encore:
Come Lay Down
Thats the setlist from the Howie Day concert I saw last night. Best songs were Ghost > Beams of Light, Brace Yourself, I'll Take You On, Secret, Buzzing > Africa, Come Lay Down, You and A Promise. However, Madrigals is on a completely different level. It was so beautiful and it faded out and the crowd was quiet until it ended completely. Such an awesome concert!
Opening acts were Charlotte Martin who was an angrier Tori Amos with a better voice, and Jump Little Children who were a stranger and angrier Ben Kweller. Really awesome!
On friday I slept over Kris's and went bowling with him and Fouhy.
Today I did nothing.

Please give me a second grace
Please give me a second face
I've fallen far down
The first time around
Now I just sit on the ground in your way
Now if it's time to recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by
And we'll never deny
It's really too hard for the fly.
Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far
For the people you are
I just need your star for a day.
So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure as I
But she won't need to cry
For it's really too hard for the fly.
These last few days have been terrible. I want to be happy again like I was in the summer...

8:29 pm - Dave Matthews - Some Devil
|
I just got the new Dave cd and I've gotta say that its just amazing. It's up there with Before These Crowded Streets as my favorite Dave cd. Here's a song by song thingy..
Dodo - Really good opener. Nice upbeat song. The feel of it reminds me a little of Recently. Awesome addition by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on this one.
So Damn Lucky - Song about a car crash. I love it. Really light feeling to it and I love the vocals on this one.
Gravedigger - Really intense and heavy. Great strings and the Mikey Carson verse is amazing.
Some Devil - Sounds very Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque. Very sad and beautiful. Just dave on electric and vocals.
Trouble - Sounds like a U2 song sort of. I really really dig this one.
Grey Blue Eyes - This is one you have to listen to on headphones. A lot of warm sounds going on and very good vocals.
Save Me - Bruce Springsteen-ish. Nice to see an upbeat song but probably my least favorite on the cd.
Stay Or Leave - I didn't like the clip because it just seemed kind of weird, but now its beautiful. Great strings at the end, lots of guitars and beat box things weaving.
An' Another Thing - It's a redone Little Thing. Haunting and really cool!
Oh - Sounds like a Jack Johnson song. Very fun to listen to.
Baby - Reminds me of my favorite Nick Drake song, Fly. Beautiful, with a string quartet.
Up and Away - Reggae. Such a fun song. Great guitar by good ole Trey Anastasio.
Too High - Boring beginning but the ending is unmatched. So good.
Gravedigger (Acoustic) - Quite beautiful, I like it better acoustic
GO GET THE CD!
current mood: nostalgic
current music: Dave Matthews - Trouble

This is bullshit. My parents deleted Blubster and now I can't download any music. Please, send me music over aim to save me :-)
I slept over Kris's last night. We watched This Is Spinal Tap and played the Fridge Challenge. The Fridge Challenge is when you take two foods from opposite corners of the fridge, mix, and eat!
Kris and Eric's Fridge Challenge Menu:
Beans and Half & Half
Chicken and Kool Aid
Macaroni with Tomato Sauce and Sunny Delight
Butterscotch Chips and BBQ Sauce
Pickles and Chocolate Syrup
The last two were definatly the worst.

I'm a little jealous I didn't go but they didn't play Parachute which is one I'd be dying to hear. However, that Come Downstairs and Say Hello > Two Points sounds spectacular. I wonder how Jesus On The Radio ended up since it would be a little quiet for the people in the back to hear.

FROM JESS'S JOURNAL BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY!!!
ahh so yesterday was a good day. for the most part. i think. lol. anyways...yesterday was the dave concert and it was a really good concert and i had a really good time but it was alot more adventurous then i imagined it would be. first of all i was late getting to julia's cuz i forgot my license at home and when i went to the bank i realized that so when i got there i had to go home then go back to the bank and then go to julia's and i got there and she was having a heart attack cuz shes julia and shes a psycho but i love her to death anyways. but eric was late too, so she started flipping out even more. he got there, we got on our way, me driving julia's dad's car with julia and eric, and casey driving manda and kati. we get down the street and eric realized he forgot the tickets in his brothers glove box...way to go eric. j/k i love you. so then we go to his brothers g/f's house to wait for them so eric can get the tickets so we go over there and they weren't there yet so we hadta wait forever...well it seemed like forever it was probably like 10 minutes. so then we get the tickets and we're on our way. we're going through chelmsford center and all of a sudden julia says to me, "i hope my dad remembered to take the beer out of the trunk" and i seriously almost had a heart attack because i was driving with people in the car and i haven't had my license for 6 months, i wasn't driving my car, and if i ever got pulled over and i had beer in the trunk i would get arrested and that would be very bad. so she called her parents and he took it out but she really freaked me out. we made it to tweeter without any problems though, and we tailgated for quite some time. it was fun, and watching everyone around us get drunk was interesting. we went into the concert around 7:30 and we had missed the opening band but i didn't really care so i wasn't upset or anything. we had pretty good seats, just really far over but it was ok cuz the screen was right in front of us so we could just watch that if we couldn't see. dave was so amazing though. it was a great concert. i didn't really enjoy all the smoking going on around me it made me kinda tired and i stunk pretty bad when i got home. the people sitting around me were doing some sort of drug deal it appeared....i dunno. anyways....this is where it gets interesting. after the concert was over we sat in the parking lot for an hour and a half before moving at all, so we got out of there at like 12:35 or 12:40. i was exhausted and didn't want to be driving but i figured we would be home around 1:45 and i was just happy thinking i would be home before 2am. well too bad it didn't turn out that way. manda passed out before we even got out of the parking lot, so it was just me and eric talking and all of a sudden a cop flys by us doing like 100 with his lights on and everything. we keep driving a little and i see a bunch of red lights and i honestly just wanted to start bawling my eyes out. there was a big accident on 495, as i'm sure people heard about on the news, and i've never seen so many trucks in one spot in my life. so i got in the left lane cuz i didn't want to be behind all the trucks and we were dead stopped for about 45 maybe 50 minutes. we were so close to the accident that you could see everything from where we were and people were walking around and stuff and julia walked back to our car from caseys and we chatted and she told us that some girls told them a truck flipped over the guard rail and someone had to be med flighted and thats why it was taking so long. finally after 45 minutes, we finally get moving around 1:55, and get back to julia's around 2:20. we had to go back to julia's cuz i had to get my car. but anyways we get back to julia's and casey tells me i have to drive amanda home even though casey told me she would drive manda home earlier in the day. i was so pissed because it was almost 2:30 in the morning and i was exhausted and i wasn't supposed to be driving in the first place, and i haven't had my license for 6 months so i wasnt' supposed to have people in the car. so me and casey ended up flipping out at each other in julia's front yard cuz we were both pissed. i was pissed to begin with about driving though because my mom told me i wasn't allowed to drive and casey decided to wait until the last minute if she could ask her parents if she could drive and they told her she couldn't take mrs. pelosi's car which would fit all of us and she hadta take her car, which wouldn't fit all of us. so pretty much, the night before they call me and beg me to drive and i said i'd ask my mom and i asked my mom in the morning and she flipped out and said no and all this other fantastic stuff. but because everyone would have been mad at me, i lied to my mom and told her i was driving with casey and i was really driving julia's dad's car. i was really mad. then somehow i got julia and eric in the car, which didn't bother me but did bother me cuz i wasn't supposed to be driving with anyone. it was like an all around situation where i could have gotten screwed. but anyway, back to when we got home. casey wanted me to drive home manda and kati, and i was so mad because i didn't want to drive either of them home. it really pisses me off that they just expect rides from me and don't even have the common decency to ask and then get mad because i don't want to, and i'm not even allowed to. if someone goes to a concert, their parents should expect to possibly have to pick them up when they get back to chelmsford if they don't get dropped off at their house or something. it is not my responsibility to have to drive manda and kati. they both have parents with cars and neither of them even asked me for a ride home. but of course i ended up giving them a ride home anyways because casey flipped out and everyone would be mad at me if i didn't. such fucking bullshit. i'm not getting screwed over a month before my 6 months is up, so i'm not driving anyone at all anymore. i don't care if people get mad but i'm just not driving anyone around anymore at all. personally i'm sick of it. i like driving to school by myself and i like driving home by myself. and thats how its gonna be until my 6 months is up, and maybe even with the driving to school thing i'll drive by myself all year. anyway my baby just called so i'm outta here

entire show with Butch Taylor on keys
Ants - Such a good opener, always awesome to hear and really set the tone. Carter was nuts
Grey Street - Great Energy but I hate how they shortened it
41 - AMAZING! Roi had a great solo and this is one of my favorite songs. Had an outro where dave sang some of Everday and then...
Everyday - Really cool, the crowd sang 36, then dmb played Everyday, then did a 36 outro
Warehouse - WHAT AN AWESOME RUN! Such a good song! I loved it.
Bartender - Extended Dave wailing and an excellent piano solo. Great version.
Granny - I've heard it at every DMB show I've seen but it's always great
Stay - SO GOOD! Started off like a standard version and then they started the outro with Butch and Carter singing Makes You Wanna... STAY! then dave started singing, but then he started wailing I FEEL GOOD! and then scatted a lot. Such a good version
Crash Into Me - Very Good. I love the whole outro when it gets louder
Jimi Thing - HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT! Really good version with awesome Boyd solos. Then the funkiest Roi solo I've ever heard. Now after Roi, it quieted back down for Dave's solo as usual, but about halfway through, he just stopped playing and started scatting. Now this wasnt just like bee bop shoo bop... he was going NUTS! He's was jumping around and dancing and doing it almost like he was telling a story... it was incredible.
Song That Jane Likes - Really fun and played to perfection.
Sleep to Dream Her > Where Are You Going - not my favorite songs but it was a nice change of pace.
Watchtower - Stephan did an insane bass solo and then they went into watchtower. Great organ solo by butch, and even better sax solo. Dave was nuts!
Spoon - I kinda expected it here but it was beautiful nontheless. Probably the only song i didnt sing along to.. I just sorta wanted to get lost in the song.
Billies - GREAT END! Boyd's solo was insane and the crowd was just nuts!
Everyone is calling it the best show of the tour, the most energetic concert for dmb since 2000, and just overall epic. I think I'd have to agree.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
I've been a long time that I'm waiting
Been a long that I'm blown
I've been a long time that I've wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new mind's eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me 'til I'm dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.
PS: The line about head doesnt mean blow jobs, i dont even thing that term existed in 1970.

Hey hey everyone. High school has started and it's great. I've met quite a few people so far such as Josh Andrews, Dave Benedict, and some girl that sits behind me in English named Amanda. It's really great though. The day flies by because of the few classes and the classes I have are decent. Latin is easy even though I don't have many friends in it. Math is easy, the teacher is a lot like Mrs Boczenowski only less helpful. Science is hard but my teacher is brilliant. Dorkestra is hard right now because I haven't played bass in a long time but I have some friends there that are fun. Lunch was better the first day, but lunch 3 is still decent. English blows but I have some friends there and the people I don't really know seem nice enough. Also, XC is the BEST! I love it so much, despite the fact that I'm not the best freshman on the team (Brendan wins that award!). The kids there are all real nice and instead of hazing you, they expect you to hang out with upperclassmen to be a cool person. Also, did i mention... DMB IS ON TUESDAY!!! YIPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Hey hey! I don't know how much I'll write but we'll see. Cross country started Wednesday and so far I love it! I'm not the best freshman so far but I'd say I'm doing pretty well for myself. It's really fun though because not only is it one of the most challenging school sport because its so difficult, it's also really fun because you're allowed to talk. I haven't met everyone on the team yet but the people I have met are great.
I went to Charlie's party the other day and I had a very good time. Kenan needs to live here... NOW.
I slept over Kris's last night and this morning, we went to McCarthy to clean. We got a lot of pots and stuff to do stomp but we also found those boards on wheels that we used to use in elementary gym class! They're super fun.
Kaitlyn and Sam are gone till Friday so my week may be boring but we'll see.

"Grade 9"
I found my locker and I found my classes
Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses,
That guy is huge! That girl is wailin'!
First day of school and I'm already failing.
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
I've got a blue-and-red Adidas bag and a humongous binder,
I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner.
I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man;
I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran.
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
and none of them can help me study for my math test.
I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;
I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes
they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,
they called me Eddie
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,
I put them on and I went to the high school dance.
Dad said I had to be home by eleven -
aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
For all of you going to high school next year ;)

2:40 pm - 100th Entry
|
Wow, how time has flied by in me precious blurty. So many great memories... sigh...
So Sarah and I are completely phychic... everytime i think something and say it.. she says the same thing! It really is pretty wild!!
I really don't have much more to add except that everyone must download Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. There's a version by Rufus Wainwright on the Shrek soundtrack and the version in the movie is by Leonard Cohen (Who wrote the song). It really is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. It's really too bad that Jeff Buckley died, because he was so young and so talented. As far as I'm concerned, he was more of a loss to music than Kurt Cobaine was.
I really want to do something tonight so let me know.
