Promises Are Broken...

Jim - Well.... I'm not gonna be at school tom. cuz of the chorale trip.... so I hope you guys have a good last 2 days of school for this week. I leave at 5:45 tom. morning, so you won't see me that morning either... HA! I managed to escape the Spanish test because of school being out hehehe..... that's the only reason I'd dream to be happy school has been out... Also... I didn't get a chance to turn in some poetry to Mrs. Kelly so I hope she'll except it when I get back. Blah... A week devoid of school has been very interesting... I really don't have much to say...... so I'll leave you alone now... I love you guys... except for those who think I suck.... which is like everyone... anyway... ttyl
The Band - WEE! We're back together and running!... NOW WE NEED A VOCALIST!... help???
::Rest Of The Week Lyrics:: - Why even bother, when you getting clobbered/ Nowhere is safe and sound, off the sweat they will profit/ Your getting robbed and their gunning you down to the ground/ Oh we all got big dreams now, the new factory just shut down/ And there’s not enough to go around, cause their gunning you down to the ground ~ "Back Up Against The Wall" - Rancid

Thinking Love Is Gone... It's Gone...

Jim - Well... my life is normal right now... under alot of pressure... I gotta get some things done before I go out of town Wednesday. I'm constantly bombarded by emails of people who want to help our band out... it's great. I know it's becoming a trend, but it's ness. to submit my request: If you know anyone who might be interested in joining my band in the vocalist position, please contact me ASAP. The Agitators are in Washington right now. The lead vocalist emailed me from there today... I really have nothing to say... I should go practice my Mozart music for chorale now...

So Take A Chance Or You'll Never Know...

Jim - Well... the morning started off with why I hate to be at home... I hate it here... I'd rather be at school all day... I'd spend the night there if I didn't have to come home... It reminds me of Harry Potter if you've ever read any of those books... anyway... I never expected the day to start with someone picking my nose... quite interesting although I was weirded out... I finally did my Spanish presentation and It went a lot better than I expected... I even got 3 points extra credit because Mrs. Demon-Stracke tried to correct me and it turned out that I was right... HA! WHAT NOW!?!... okay... Paige is now the Procrastination champion of the world... she did all 3 of her HW geometry worksheets in class and still got a 100...... sweetness. In Chorale, on Agnus Dei, the basses where sharp... Basses?... Sharp?... That's like impossible... the last time I heard that was in All-State... And it was the whole group... so it didn't really count... But, o'course... someone had to go and be flat right after that... I mean... It was TOO obvious... anyway... That's like the best parts of my day... So I'll leave it at that... today wasn't all that great of a day... oh well... I'm determined that tom. will be better.
::Daily Lyrics:: - It's obvious that you're feeling down/ And you don't want anyone around/ But you know that's exactly what you need/ So give it up now/ Take a chance on stupidity/ And have a seat come ride with me/ We'll set a course for anywhere but here/ So give it up now, just give it up now ~ "Give It Up" - Home Grown

You Tell Me I've Ruined My Life...

Jim - Whew... Maybe I should be a musician's manager instead of a musician... I'm helping Chelsea out on the new events of her career... we're going to be doing some planning... we have some things to set up. I have some things we need to go over and some tactics we need to review to get her name out there. It's kind of my project while my band is on it's break... speaking of the band... it would be nice if I could get like someone who can play guitar and do lead vocals... or two separate people... since Nick kind of left us in a whirlwind... I find it interesting how he can find time to practice with Noah and Brandon but could never seen to find time for us... very interesting... oh well... he's gone, time to move on to bigger and better things... Our band would be starting back up a lot sooner than planned but because of that situation, We're just gonna have to sit around mindlessly doing nothing until we can find someone... o'course I'm constantly writing music and stuff... so I have my hands full already... I even went as far as to doing a drum tab myself and giving it to Hyrum to fix errors and make it better... when he, o'course, should do that himself when we start practicing again... but it's okay. I've been compiling a list of words that I think are very beautiful and deep... I like those words... everytime I hear word like that I try to write it down and think about it's meaning and how I can use it in my music and poems and crap... hehe..... I wrote a poem for Paige today... it was funny... she said it erked her... oh well... it was funny... I need to get a chainsaw... maybe I can make something of my life... maybe be a lumberjack cuz that's okay... blah... let me stop rambling and move on...
The Band - well.... I kind of said What I wanted to say up there....... so.. yeah....
::Daily Lyrics:: - You tell me you don't like the taste/ Drugs and alcohol are such a waste/ You got better things to do/ Like hang around/ Be straight and screw ~ "Hit It" - NOFX

Deeper... My Heart Slips Away...

Jim - WHOA!!!!!!!...... dude my life is getting so sweet! Today I got an email from the lead vocalist of the Atlanta based band, The Agitators. We've been talking for a few days and he's going to be helping my band write songs, get a demo ready, and get a record deal... DUDE! it's TO freakin' awesome. I can't wait until my band is up and running full speed again. Speaking of the band... Nick left us yesterday. He's joining Noah and Brandon's progressive metal band. I wish him the best of luck, but right now we're short a band member... If you guys know anyone who might to be able to help us, please "give me some vision of the future"... Man... it's gonna take something really bad to bring my good mood down. I think I'm going to Dance the night away... this is my chance to break out - "So here I am, Alive at last, and I'll savor every moment of this!"
The Band - That's right, you heard it... we're back in business boys!
::Daily Lyrics:: - I've got frost bite on my heart/ This pain and suffering are feelings that/ You don't know/ It feels like 20 below... ~ "20 Below" - Hidden In Plain View

Back In Business...

Hey... For all those who put comments on my journal, the comments system is back up and running. I hope you can excuse this even though it wasn't even my fault. (I know Paige has about 15 comments getting ready to explode)
I'll update later. See ya...

Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars...

Jim - It's been a long time since I've written... So I'll start with........
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
It's a big conspiracy... Well.... the day started out bad... I'm catching a cold in addition to my sinus drainage... So my vocals isn't that good.... and I knew that wouldn't be a happy day in Chorale cuz I plan on trying out for the tenor solos and the bass solos (The tenor one is cooler though) ... the day gradually got better until Chorale when I had one of my insights... I saw someone that made me sad... It lasted for the rest of the day but I cheered gradually... until it was time to go home... then I dropped back again... I hate going home... I have to leave my family... Blah.. I get home and what do I find?... I got ANOTHER B+ on my Art Test... what they heck...... okay... let me clear this up for those of you who are now confused... I'm enrolled in college for art because of my high artistic abilities! HAHA!... sorry.... I not trying to boost or anything cuz you'll probably never see me drawing anything... and if you do, it'll probably look like crap cuz I don't apply my talents unless I'm really trying to draw something I feel that is worth my time... And not much has been worth my time since 7th grade when my interests STRONGLY shifted to music... Anyway... This is my 3rd test and I got another consecutive B+ and it's flustrating... Now I really understand what Paige feels like sometimes... They see ever single detail that isn't exactly right... But then... I still don't put in my full effort... I don't know if they realize it or not but... I'M JUST A KID!... AND THEY'RE JUDGING ME ON ADULT ART MAJOR STANDARDS... poop.... okay... lol..... I took the stress level test in health today and it was a thing where you add up your experiences ... a score under 200 means you life is going through hardly anything (I think these are the ranges...) ... 200 to like 300 is like a lot of stuff and over 300 is like too much..... well my stress level turned out to be 389... WHAT THE HECK?!?!... IF I WAS THAT STRESSED I'D BE LIKE YELLING AT THE WORLD OVER MY JOURNAL RIGHT NOW!... gosh... Anyway... that's your lovely tour of Jim's life...
NOTE: The Comments system isn't working because the guy that runs it had a problem when they stopped his account... so... it should be up as soon as it's fixed...

I Realize I Have Left It Too Late...

Jim - Yup... Last night I went to Planet Extreme to play laser tag with Jonathan, Kyle, and James... we were unstoppable.. we won almost every game except the one against the little kids...those 3 are good.... real good... they have a stature advantage which was interesting... they also had an interesting way of attack and defense... We soon learned the tactics and applied them in the next game where we won, once again, by a landslide (but it wasn't against the little guys). I went home early to watch SNL and went to bed... that's the highlight of my weekend for the most part... I typed out 9 of my poems I've written for the writing contest in Lit... I'll leave you with one of my favourite ones that I wrote.. ttyl... peace outside

Projection

Motivated when the statue's rust
Becomes projected on this white canvas
When we were known to show
What's been unknown to know
Without a doubt it's plan to see
You took my heart and my last breath...
Holding on the death in life revealed (from me)
Taking back the future and I still
Believe I can't believe in this...
Took my heart (In sweet remiss)
Took my last breath (on this canvas)
And it's displayed for all to see
You took it from me
::Daily Lyrics:: - Although I laugh and I act like a clown/ Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown/ My tears are falling like rain from the sky/ Is it for her or myself that I cry/ I'm a loser, and I lost someone who's near to me/ I'm a loser, and I'm not what I appear to be ~ "I'm A Loser" - The Beetles

Simply Burned By Fate...

Joey - well...... the week's over..... and the weekend is beginning.... I'll just talk about something else to prevent any UNHEALTHY VENTING THAT I MY DO THAT OFFENDS ANYONE WHO MAY READ THIS JOURNAL... which is like no one... Well... I've been reconstructing my theories on the geometry of the universe after reading "Time Travel in Einstein's Universe" by J. Richard Gott. It's a very good read if you're into physics, thermodynamics, entropy, quantum mechanics, relativity, ect. like me. I already had a really good theory, but I had to revise some things so that it would work with some rules I forgot to include that involves time and it's relativity (hence the theory of relativity). Patrick is helping me with this and he thought it'd be a good science fair project for next year... it's going to be interesting.... I made a little sketch of what we have to work with so far... it can be found Here... yup... okay...
Jim - Word up yo... Nothing has really happened in my life... so... I'll just leave you alone now...
::Daily Lyrics:: - Maybe it's not over yet/ Somewhere inside him there must be some/ New dream awaiting to topple the rest/ When he finds himself/ Feeling alive yet alone/ Maybe the best he can get is still out of his reach ~ "A.W.O.L." - Yellowcard

I'll Kill The Thing That Turns Me Away...

Jim - Well... today was a weird day... I didn't really feel all that good today... I've been noticing things.... like certain people who are different... people who are like... not the same or are different than what they say they are and it makes me sad... poop... anyway... I got a few of those "we-need-to-get-back-in-the-groove-because-school-is-back" lectures from a few of my teachers. I hate those lectures, but it's all good.... Lit was funny because We got to check our exams for errors. I found 2 on mine.... so I raised my grade... and we had a assignment afterwards to read in the lit book... and Kim was like "Where are you?"... and I was like "I'm still on the first page, cuz I keep reading the same sentence over and over"... so we stayed on that page for awhile until Ms. Kelly was like - "Chris, You haven't turned a page in that book yet."... And Kim and I quickly turned the page and laughed for like 5 minutes on that one. We had this awesome thing in computers today that I think you guys should check out. it's called www.20q.net. It's cool.... try to beat the computer... it's really fun... it's amazing how good it is... Courtney seems to be angry at me... I don't know why she seems to think everything I do or feel is about her... but I don't know... Relient K is gonna be in town Thursday... so come out and party with us. anyway... I'll catch you guys later.
::Daily Lyrics:: - I think it might just be alright/ To leave what matters out of sight/ Old habits die hard, holding on/ Inevitable means it's never gone/ Told myself what I need to hear/ I think the point was very clear/ I showed me what we missed since we/ Slipped into inconsistency ~ "Trademark" - Relient K

Science Has Failed Our World...

Jim - YES!!!!! SCORE!!!! SCHOOL STARTS SOON!!!!!!. ah yes...... in 10 hours I will be free form this wretched place called home. Today was boring... just sat around the house doing nothing.. but then I wrote a song for our band.... well... I'd been planning it already, but I went ahead and finished the music... Speaking of the band.. we're breaking up for a bit... well at least until we can get it together again... there might be some member changes... but until it is reborn, I'm gonna be writing music for us. We'll probably be reborn this summer when time is more sparing and patrick and I have been making plans about the direction and influence of our band. We'll have a new name and stuff (and I'm going to redesign the website too, which is going to be fun!!)... well.... that's about all.... 45 days until colleen's b-day..... ummm yeah... mine is in a month... Courtney's (who I love so very very much) is in 5 months and 3 days.... yup.... well... have a good school day tom...
::Daily Lyrics:: - Making two possibilities a reality/ Prediting the future of things we all know/ Fighting off the diseased programming/ Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries/ Science fails to recognise the single most/ Potent element of human existence/ Letting/ The reigns go to the unfolding/ Is faith, faith, faith, faith ~ "Science" - SOAD

Pink Panther

Oh yeah... that's my Colly!

Everyone's Caught On To Everything You Do...

Jim - okay... well... I went to my cousin's funeral on new year's eve... it was odd.... but you know... I hate funerals... cuz when I die, I don't want a funeral. I want a party! I want people to be happy and not sad... blah... I spent last night and today at Adam's house. We played music and listened to music and played Tony Hawk's Underground late into the night.... me, being up since 4 that morning, layed down while Adam played at about 12pm.... but I woke up like every 10 minutes afterwards until about 2. I may have fell asleep then, but I was ready to be active by 7:00 this morning while Adam was asleep until like 11 something... so I played the game and played my guitar and the drums until he was ready to get up... Adam's band decided not to play at First Friday tonight so... Adam's dad took me home after going to taco bell and spending some time at his house... Adam and I hung out at my house for a bit while my mom and his dad talked... it was coolio... but my mom lost a client today... it was sad... we've had Mrs. Roberson for almost 3 years and I know she'll never get the same level of care as she got here... which is sad... well..... that's my play-by-play update of basically what I've been up to since I last updated... poop... don't do drugs and I love my Courtney!
The Band - Do we have practice Monday??
::Daily Lyrics:: - Is that what you call a getaway?!!/ Tell me what you got away with!!/ Cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish!!/ I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids!!/ Have another drink and drive yourself home!!/ I hope there's ice on all the roads!!/ And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt/ Then when your head goes through the windshield!! ~ "Seventy Times 7" - Brand New
