| So yeah, I haven't been on here in an extremely long-ass time. And I usually don't measure things in ass-time.
Well, what's new? I'm in a shitty mood, that's why I'm on here in the
first place, but what the hell ever. I think I'll be okay soon. It's
just that I've been confused and in and out of a lot of emotions
lately, and I don't really have a hell of a lot of people to completely
vent them to. I mean, there are only a couple people I could tell
exactly what I'm feeling to, and I rarely talk to them anymore, for
some odd reason or another.
On a good note, I got a part in the play at school. It's pretty
kickass. I'm not a main dude or anything, but I happen to have the
funniest lines in the play. My character has a kind of split
personality: on one side he's a pretty normal guy, but any time anyone
mentions anything remotely sexual, he goes into this "I'd like to bone
anything right now" mode. He's pretty awesome.
So I kind of like someone. Okay, I really like someone a lot, and I'd
be kind of weird to think she didn't like me, but I can't ever be alone
with her. I see her at school basically every day, but she's always
working when she's not in school, and I can't ever get her to go
anywhere with me because of it. Why does this shit happen to me? I go
for like three years without finding someone who I think might like me
back, and I can't ever get ahold of her. Oh well, whatever. There'll be
water if God wills it, It's ka.
I'm seeing Resident Evil tomorrow, which is kind of cool, but they want
me to go to Denny's too beforehand. Now, first off, I fucking hate
Denny's. They have by far the shittiest food in the known galaxy.
Second, I really can't stand groups of people. But whatever, it's
something to do I guess. I'll live. If it doesn't kill me, it'll just
make me more...well, pissed off.
I've been getting more and more into slasher movies lately. I've always
liked them, but...well, let's just say I've spent in excess of 60 bucks
on them in the last week at Slackers. Oh well, it's money well spent.
Besides, I got tons from selling my guitar to Bryan.
Well, I suppose that's all.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I'm writing a play.

| Okay, I'm sure you're all very enthused about the triumphant
return of Steve to Xanga, but to be quite honest, I'm not here for any
other reason than sheer boredom.
Honestly, I've been keeping myself busy this summer for the most part,
but I've been in such a bad mood lately. I've been depressed since
Monday it seems, and right now I don't even feel like doing anything at
all. I felt good this morning, but that was basically because I was in
a sleep-depraved sort of loopy state, seeing as I didn't even close my
eyes to try to go to sleep the night before.
Seriously, I usually have things to discuss here whenever I do post,
but right now I feel like I'm just going to talk about whatever, just
to keep myself occupied until I'm tired enough to go to sleep.
I read the book Cujo a couple months ago, and I found the movie on DVD,
so I bought it. Now, I had heard that the movie didn't live up to the
book (it's Stephen King, it rarely does), but I was not braced for the
piece of shit that is Cujo the movie. The book was thrilling,
horrifying, suspenseful... but all because you could read the thoughts
and emotions of the characters, things that can't be put onto a screen.
So when the movie was made, it turned out to be annoying, repetitive,
extremely slow-moving, and very anti-climactic at the end. I was
sorrowly disappointed.
I've beaten both Guitar Hero games on Expert mode within the last week, that's how much of a dork I am.
You know, when I see a couple kissing on each other and making out or
just cuddling and being cozy together, it honestly makes me want to
puke. I absolutely hate watching that shit, and it really pisses me
off. A lot. There could be several reasons for this, but... you know I
don't even know where I'm going with this, it's something I'd rather
discuss with someone in private instead of boasting it on Xanga here,
despite how few people read it anymore.
I'm really sick and tired of having to take out my retainer every time
I want to eat or anything. You'd think I'd get used to it by now, but I
haven't.
I have driven more this week than ever. I have my grandparents' car,
they loaned it to me for the week so I could look for jobs (I haven't
had much luck in that department), and I ended up driving all over the
place in it. I hope I don't need to drive this much when I get my own
car. I hate driving.
I don't think Roger's going to go and see Rush with me and Aaron and
his brother, and that's kind of a bummer. But whatever, at least I'll
still see them. Now, what am I gonna do until August?
I really wish Roger would set up a damn band practice for the B+GT. He's really bad at that.
I would like to finish this book I am reading, but for some reason I
just don't want to read it right now. It's an amazing book, and I
really can't wait to finish it, but at the moment I'm just too
braindead to pick it up.
When I buy a bass, I think I'm gonna get a Rickenbacker. It's kind of a
bold move, cuz usually people who play those are really extremely good,
but I think it'll be good for our sound. Dude, nobody knows what I'm
talking about.
I wish I was tired enough to go to sleep, but I'm not. I'm just in the
right mood to sit around, awake, going "Why the Hell am I up?"
I wish I had someone to talk to. I know a lot of people post shit like
that on myspace or on here or whatever, but honestly, I'm tired of
sitting around and not talking to anyone. I haven't talked to most of
my friends in forever. I ought to have some sort of getting-together at
my house. Maybe just get a bunch of friends over and watch movies or
whatever. Yeah, that'll probably happen within the month. Hopefully.
Alright, I'm tired of typing, I'm going to go and try to find something to do, or (more likely) I'll just do nothing.

| I went and saw Billy Joel last night... I'm pretty sure nothing in the
entire world could be better than that concert. I'm not kidding. Any
amount of anything bad I ever felt just went away, he was that good. I
remember as a kid, he was basically my favorite musician, and to see
him now was just incredible, even if our seats were literally in the
last row from the top of the entire Scottrade center.
Either way, the ACT yesterday was easy as Hell, those tests always are
for me. Dammit! I missed school today, and now I'm gonna have to go
through a bunch of hassle to make up the PSAE. I was actually looking
forward to it, you know, the day of no work and just testing, and
hanging out in between, NO! I just HAD to be too damn tired to go to
school today. Well, I guess it was for my own good. If I had gone to
school in the condition I was in, I would have fumbled through the
whole test because I was so tired.
To change subject entirely once again, I'm most definitely NOT going to
Prom this Saturday, nor will I even consider stepping foot into the
After-Prom. The entire concept of Prom does not appeal to me in any way
whatsoever. I'll also probably not go next year, despite the fact that
it will be my senior prom. Unless I have a girlfriend or something at
this time next year, you can expect not to see me there.
My band still hasn't practiced since Spring Break, and I'm starting to get a tad bit annoyed at it.
Roger and I are going to see Rush in August! Well, that is, if Mr.
Battle will let him miss band that day, I think it's the first football
game or something. He told me he's sure he'll let him miss it, though,
so that's good.

| I am officially rebelling against nature itself. That's right, and do
you know why? Because it's fucking APRIL, and the temperature is in the
40s. I hate nature (at least in the midwest and right now). You heard
me, I hate something that doesn't even technically exist aside from as
a concept.
In better news, and to the excitement and joy of basically nobody but
us four... The Biscuits and Gravy Train has gotten back together!
That's correct, my band for EHS Idol last year has re-joined together
and we practiced twice over spring break. We're basically amazing.
Okay, that's an overstatement, considering we've only practiced twice.
But seriously, I'll keep you (all two of you) updated as to the
goings-on of the band, as far as... well basically as far as nothing
goes right now, because we're so early in development. Go to our
myspace (oh my God, he mentioned it on Xanga), it's
myspace.com/biscuitsandgravytrain. Go there, be our friend.
Not much else to say for now, aside from SteveMania is next month, so I
should probably be getting ready for that in about three or four weeks.
I'll pick out a date soon, and trust me, everyone will be invited, so
don't worry. It's going to probably be the biggest one this year, so
get ready in advance. Put on your helmets and shoulder pads..........
okay, it'll still be at the very very least a month before it hits you,
so, whatever. Just be ready when the time comes.

| I have never felt this good that it's getting warmer outside. I thought
I had liked the cold more than the hot when winter started, but man, a
couple weeks ago, it was starting to get REALLY old, it being cold all
the time. I'm sitting in my computer room, its way too friggin hot, and
I couldn't be more comfortable.
And the cool part is, it's only going to get warmer.
So Charity drug me down to this place to see this band she knew (she
didn't really "drag" me, but whatever), and as it turned out, that dude
Superfun Yeah whatever was playing. Now, I'm going in there thinking
"This is a big mistake, this dude's a retard," and I was surprised. Not
by the performance of the songs, but by his attitude about it. He
didn't seem to think he was hot shit, Hell, I don't even think he likes
his own music! Either way, he was a lot cooler than I thought he'd be.
I'd still never buy a CD though, because his act, unlike that of most
musicians (if that's even what you want to call him), is almost 100%
visual.
And tonight, Charity apparently has some art thats gonna be on display
at SIUE, and I'd like to see it. It's at seven, but I don't know where
the building it is in is, and I don't even know if I'm gonna be able to
go or not. I hope I can, she's a really friggin good artist, and it's
cool her stuff is gonna BE somewhere. Shit, that's more than I can say
about me and music!
Which reminds me... the whole time I was at that show, during every act
(even the last one), I couldn't stop thinking about how much better our
band had been, in EHS Idol last year, even though we only did one song.
I really want to get our band back together (though I think we may need
a different drummer, what with Charlie being so committed to his band
and all), and play music in places. We'd kick the asses off of a lot of
people.
Okay, I'm out of here. See you all later.
