It's all right. I think I'm going to drop french and take Graphic's 2 instead, i've just lost all interest in french and have no desire to pursue it. Otherwise my schedule is pretty good. <br /><br />Unfortunately i'll be out of soccer for at least 2 weeks. I've had this on-going knee problem for the past 2 years and favoring my right leg so much has resulted in a slightly torn quad.<br /><br />Even though school has started, at least i've got something to look forward to...some great shows coming up.<br /><br /><b> 10/1 </b> Ryan Adams @ Beacon<br /><b> 10/9 </b> the Dead @ Beacon<br /><b> 10/22</b> Against Me in Philly<br /><b> 10/29</b> Green Day in Philly<br /><b> 11/20</b> Against Me!, Bouncing Souls @ Starland<br /><b> 11/26</b> the Dead w/ String Cheese @ Tweeter urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:16636 2004-08-27T17:27:48Z 2004-08-27T17:27:48Z the doors - morrison hotel "peace frog" yo. this week i had soccer every day and in the afternoons i hung out with various people. Wednesday i went to see the allman brothers band with spd and mike downey and his friend. we had special vip passes where we could go into the vip tent. we were clearly the youngest in there and they ran out of food by the time we got in. unfortunately los lonely boys didn't open up the show as expected, so we skipped the opening act. sean and i walked around when the allman brothers came on, enjoyed some panda than went down to our seats, which were exceptional. the sound quality was great up front. derek trucks is just mind blowing to watch on guitar, and warren haynes isn't half bad either. sean and i eventually met up with caitlin, ryan and lara and had a little more panda. shortly after we split up, the show ended and i was a little disappointed with the length of the show. there also weren't that many people there dancing around or anything, no one was really feeling it i guess. a good show none the less. <br /><br />i'm not really sure what i'm doing today, but no socer tomorrow or Sunday, so that's cool. <br />P! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:16189 2004-08-20T20:16:26Z 2004-08-20T20:16:26Z bouncing souls - how i spent my summer vacation "no comply" so this has been a rather uneventful week. soccer try outs everyday, i made the team, although i think some people who got cut were more deserving than myself, but i'm not going to complain about that. <br /><br />Tuesday i went over to joe kaines and picked some stuff up, than met up with mike for lunch at dongs. we went to mikes than came here, hung out with pat and joemo, and bball came later on. the mofo's at manville wouldn't let us in to see a r-rated movie, so we ended up making a digourno pizza instead.<br /><br />i saw i, robot with bob and mikey last night, not a very good flick. its so hard to take will smith seriously. <br /><br />caitlin comes back tonight, now i'll have something to do instead of sit here all day =) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:15905 2004-08-16T04:29:26Z 2004-08-16T04:37:15Z ben harper - fight for your mind "excuse me mr" So it's been a while since i've updated.

I just got back from Europe 2 nights ago. It was a good trip, the trip got a little boring after 2 weeks but seeing all the places was really cool.

Saturday morning Bobalou, Schwartz, Howie and myself set out for Saratoga Springs where we would be seeing the Dave Matthews Band that night. It was a pretty quick ride to Saratoga Springs. We got to our 3 day old hotel and headed out to the downtown area. We ate lunch and than howie split up. Bob, Dave and i went into numerous shops, and about 3 head shops. We tried to buy some pieces , but to no avail....they all asked for ID. So after that we went back to the hotel, and than went back out into town. As we were going back to Manifest Station so that bob could buy some of the "legal highs", howie ran past us and said "now stay away from those smoke shops", with a ridiculous smirk on his face, as if he were saying "hey, i know what the deal here is...and it's ok" We actually never got back to the shop because i was scared my dad would see us walk in, a legitimate concern, but in retrospect we probably could have gone in. So by the time this was all over, we headed back to the hotel and set out for the show. We got there and there was a huge traffic jam. and where we parked was probably a mile away from the amphitheater. So we walked there, met some interesting people in the line for the bathroom and got ready for the show.<br /><br />The show itself was nothing short of amazing. Schwartz and I enjoyed some k-bear during the show, and it just made the experience so much more enjoyable. I just spent the whole time dancing around with what seemed like no inhibitions, and it felt like i "experienced" the show more than i have any concert i've been to. The talent of all the members of the band is incomparable...some of the things going on were just mind blowing. The set list he played was also exceptional, although i was a little disappointed he didn't play his rendition of All Along the Watchtower. He also played 4 of his new songs which sounded awesome. The set list went as followed...<br /><br />Everyday <br />So Much To Say <br />Too Much <br />New Song #1 <br />Granny <br />Warehouse <br />One Sweet World <br />New Song #4 <br />Drive In Drive Out <br />Bartender <br />New Song #3 <br />Where Are You Going <br />Jimi Thing <br />New Song #2 <br />Crash <br />Rapunzel <br />--------------<br />Bass Intro <br />Crush <br />Stay <br /><br />So all and all it was an incredible show, and i've been to countless shows, and I have to say it surpasses the Boss as the best concert i've been too. After the show we headed out with hopes of meeting howie at the car, but since schwartz and i were a little disoriented and bob lacks any navigational skills whatsoever, we got pretty lost in this giant state park. After about 40 minutes of mindless wandering we found our way back after asking a cop. We found my dad and went to get some pizza than went back to the hotel.<br /><br />We woke up this morning and went to Woodstock. A really interesting town, with a bunch of craft, art, organic food and yes, head shops, plus the hippies. That was cool.<br /><br />So it's the 4th of July and i think i'm heading over to Bball's later tonight. Take it easy. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:14217 2004-07-01T02:54:26Z 2004-07-01T02:54:26Z dave matthews band - live in central park "jimi thing" a good past couple of days. yesterday bball and bobalou came over. we went to applebees and hung out, it was a good time. today i went over caitlins and saw Fahrenheit 9/11 w/ bobalou and mikey. michael moore is nothing short of a genius...<br /><br /><img src="http://media.michaelmoore.com/_images/splash/cartoon-inside.gif"> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:13887 2004-06-28T01:27:16Z 2004-06-28T01:27:16Z the clash - london calling "lost in the supermarket" it's been a while since i've updated. <br /><br />during the week i hung out with caitlin a few times...it felt really good to hang out with her again, to say the least. all seems well with that.<br /><br />graham's party had an unfortunate ending, but it wasn't bad leading up to the end of the night. not a bad experience to say the least, more of an eye-opening one seeing how quick things can go from everything being ok to cruising around hillsborough avoiding the po po. <br /><br />so Saturday was pretty cool. sean mike and inspected mike downey's power hitter and headed out to see dodgeball. a funny movie, utterly ridiculous but it had some hilarious moments. we headed back and s/I'd at sean house. this morning we woke up and headed to the pool club and picked up bobalou along they way. that place is expensive. ahh yes i also had a little incident...<br /><br />so i am jumping off the diving board doing 1 1/2's, and everything is ok. so on the third jump or so i do the flip and everything seems ok, except until almost right when i get into the water i feel my face smack up against the bottom of the pool (<b>extremely</b> reminiscent of when i got the baseball to the face and destroyed my nose. so i came out of the pool, grasping my face. my nose was swollen and scraped, i had big scraped bruise on my forehead, various scrapes and a killer headache. i didn't go to the ER simply because them telling me i have a concussion and/or a re broken nose isn't going to do me any good. luckily the headache has died down a bit, hopefully the nose isn't too bad tomorrow.<br /><br />dave matthew's band w/ some of the bro's next week. should be sweet. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:13651 2004-06-23T21:38:34Z 2004-06-23T21:38:34Z the beatles - white album "julia" summer is awesome. yesterday i had driving lesson number 2. driving is easy. afterwards i came home and slept to recuperate from the previous night. i went to the gym at 7 and caitlin came over afterwards, bob soon followed. everything is good again. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:13414 2004-06-22T22:11:37Z 2004-06-22T22:11:37Z bad brains - banned in dc "sailin' on" now that is how one throws a party. no ddr. no gimmicks. job well done joey kaine and graham. must do it again. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:13250 2004-06-21T02:29:18Z 2004-06-21T02:29:18Z against me! - acoustic ep "we did it all for don" aquabats show = awesome<br />knee hurting = shit<br />gb after aquabats = fucking cool<br /><br />goodnight. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:12957 2004-06-19T18:46:27Z 2004-06-19T18:46:27Z modest mouse - good news for people who love bad news "float on" I was going to write about how much sophomore year blew, but its behind me now and i am feeling good. last night with tim, bob, sean and mike was fucking awesome, an incredible way to kick off the summer. just laughing to the point where we can't breathe and having a good time...just an awesome night. all the problems of the school year are behind me and i'm looking forward to an awesome summer. everything is good now. i love you all. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:12544 2004-06-15T02:50:56Z 2004-06-15T02:57:34Z pink floyd - animals "pigs on the wing" So the final weekend of the school year has passed, and it was yet another awesome weekend. <br /><br />Friday after school Tim and Mike came over after school. We met a new friend named Jeremiah, who provided us with a fun-filled evening. So after our introductions to Jeremiah, we headed to Hamilton St to see a show w. Hillsborough bands. Unfortunately we missed Steve's band, canaries' third time missing his band. I wasn't overly impressed with any of the bands, the sound they are all playing has become so hackneyed and i'm tired of it. We really need to start a band that is different, too bad i lack any musical talent. So Doreen picked us up, and we headed home. <br /><br />Saturday I went to borders with Bobalou and got some of my summer reading things for english and math. Bert is a good man, but i was terrified being in a car with him behind the wheel on the Somerville Circle. so after that i headed home, Bball Fisch soon came over and we headed to Vintage Vynil with howie, probably the best record store in the area. I got the a live Velvet Underground recording and the new Secret Machines album, who are undoubtedly the best new band out there in my opinion, they mix Pink Floyd with Led Zepp with a little of the Who with some modern things added in, just a lot of cool things going on. Anyway, after that Bball and i headed home, and Canori, Steve, Jeremy and Nick came over. The evening started off a little slow, but after some pretzels thrown, nick passing out and the wall...it was a grand evening<br /><br />so anyway, that was cool. Sunday was filled with nothing. I'd like to tell you i studied and am a good student, but i'd be lying, which i am kind of regretting now seeing as finals start tomorrow. <br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a><br /><img src="http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v294/pigsonthewing/Brian Kennedy/dad_fish.jpg"><br /><br /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:12441 2004-06-05T15:26:59Z 2004-06-05T15:26:59Z morriessy - you are the quarry "irish blood, english heart" yo. so the week is finally over, and school is winding down. last night Tim, Bball Fisch, Canori and myself ventured to the Krome to see the Streetlight Manifesto. We got there at 7, and there were 4 or 5 bands on the main stage before streetlight came on, none of which were very impressive. Streetlight came on and played a stellar set, playing everything from their new cd, Everything Goes Numb, some old stuff, and a 1 1/8 covers, Every Rose Has It's Thorn and about 1/8 of Smells Like Teen Spirit. By the end of the show, my shirt was off and my body was covered with sweat, <i>very </i> reminiscent of those long nights i had with my Columbian sex slave, Rico, before he got deported. So after an encore with 3 songs, we headed out. Streetlight put on an exceptional show and made me remember how much fun ska show's can be. <br /><br />This weekend I need to find a job. <br /><br />P! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:12131 2004-05-31T19:51:38Z 2004-05-31T21:45:19Z the devil makes three - s/t "the plank" So the 3 day weekend is almost over, and it was time well spent. My birthday worked out well, from the parents I got a giant <a name="cutid1"></a> <br /><img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/UVSL/XL513.jpg"> <br />, books including <u>Nothing Feels Good : Punk Rock, Teenagers and Emo</u>, which I started and is really good, along with 4 or 5 other books, and some cash. <br /><br />Saturday I didn't really do that much. <br /><br />Sunday was cool. Sunday Andy called me up and invited me to go on a bike ride with him to the Sourland preserve. That ended up being cool, something out of the ordinary, it was nice hanging with andy again and getting some exercise. After that I came home and didn't do much. Bert came over at around 10 and we just hung out for a while. I put on some Dashboard, and much to my dismay Bert knew all the lyrics to every single song I put on. So after that display of singing we headed into the backyard for the night. We just talked all night, and came to a lot of realizations. One thing that we discussed a lot was the fact that we're going to be Juniors next year and we found ourselves asking "Where the hell has time gone?" It feels like it was just yesterday we were in 7th grade getting our spelling tests ripped up by an hysterical Ms Fava (and later getting 100's on them). Shit...time flies. Anyway, besides that we just talked about other things...it was a good time. Before we knew it, the sun was coming up, which kind of goes along with the whole time flying epiphany we had. T' was a good time.<br /><br />So, it seems as if a popular subject among my cronies journals is the fact that people are so judgmental. I'm sure many people have made judgments about me based on things I choose to do, but frankly, I don't care. The people I care about know who and what I am, and know that i'm not just another stereotype. The same goes for my friends who have been unfairly labeled because of things they do. They are all genuinely good guys, the kindest group i know and just good friends, none of this talking behind backs and such that goes on with most other cliques out there. Anyone who thinks that because they partake in illicit substances turns them into different, bad people really need to get a grip and chill out, for lack of a better term. They are all going to have a rude awakening come college when they enter the real world and things like that happen, and you can't just turn your back on everyone who experiments. When someone starts fellating old men in bathrooms to get a fix, than people can start talking...but for now all the talking and whatnot that's going on is mindless, close minded thinking. Also, if you're going to leave comments, don't be a coward and leave your real name, unlike the "big weeny" remarks left in Tim's.<br /><br />Have a nice day. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:11921 2004-05-29T22:18:46Z 2004-05-30T00:36:37Z dave matthews band - the central park concert "when the worl so the birthday yesterday went very well. bball fisch came over on my bus after school and we immediately rode bikes to bobs in order to help him get the tents out of his attic. after that we came back and started to set up the tents. i had to go pick max up at the train station, so the erecting the giant tent was left up to bball fisch, mike, sean and bob, and they actually got it up, granted it looked like a tent on crack. so we got max at the station and picked up joey kaine and headed out to shogan with everyone. shogan was good, as always. we picked up g-money lewis and headed back to my house. tim showed up soon, and we headed into the backyard for the ngiht. we were in my backyard an majority of the night having a grand old time. it was an awesome evening and a fine way to celebrate. <br /><br />the following quote, by a fine young man, sums up the night well in my opinion,,,,<br /><br /><b> "bro, i have to take a pee...but i don't think i remember how to..." </b> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:11758 2004-05-28T02:43:01Z 2004-06-07T01:15:15Z johnny cash - greatest hits "it ain't me babe" <center><img src="http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/3fe9dfef_162f/bc/Misc./__sr_/75f9.jpg?phuX8wAB8dqt8xFa"></center> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:eternelcowboy:11354 2004-05-27T03:37:31Z 2004-05-27T19:17:33Z joey ramone - don't worry about me "like a drug i never did a sub par week thus far. not much has been going on really. i've been sleeping a lot more than usual, which happened last year this exact week to, i suppose the allergies are starting to take their toll. school is finally coming to an end, which is good. this has been by far the worst school year I've had, next year is bound to be better.
