last night my dad took me to a basketball game. it was this college development league thing and they lost. badly. but i had a pretty good time. some of the players looked really short, and then i looked at the list and they were like 6'3"

tomorrow i'm going bowling. right now i'm listening to camper van beethoven's take the skinheads bowling. coincidence? can't...

last month the kkk came to my university's town. twice.

i didn't mention it at the time because i was dealing with it, as well as trying to graduate from college, but it scared the shit out of me and today i was reminded of it, thanks to this.

the first time they came, they came during the night. they drove around campus, and around...

so, so far this week is much better than last week. none of my really close friends have mysteriously stopped talking to me and run off to france without saying goodbye this week, so i guess i'm doing pretty well

still super duper fucking bored out of my mind.

it's so much harder to write journal entries when nothing is going on. especially if you're...

my week sucks. well, so far, it's only thursday so i suppose things could get a whole lot better before sunday.

it seems to me that if you don't know what you want, you really only have so long to decide before the universe up and decides for you, and i don't particularly want that to happen so i better figure something out soon.

home. home home home.

doesn't feel like home though. my parents moved here about a year ago, and i've never lived here. it just feels like a place they put a bunch of stuff i hadn't realized i still had in. it's weird to come home to someone else's house.

i'm bored. not a shocker. i'm always bored when i come home. just sitting around...

well then. um, so i graduated from college. it's pretty fucking weird, i'm not sure what the fuck i'm supposed to do with myself now.

the concert went pretty well. we had all kinds of technical difficulties which sucked, and it started an hour and a half late, which also sucked, but in the end people liked the music which i guess was sort of...

quick update. who would have thought that would happen, not me for sure.

i'm working on a new song, and i'm way way into it, which is rare, but i think it will turn out pretty rad.

it's based on the life of a cell, some scientists have figured out how to make the movement of yeast cells make music and i'm using samples of...

So, my car got broken into a few days ago. In the school parking lot. They stole my stereo and cd's and broke the window, the door lock, and the dome light. People really suck sometimes.

I know it's just a car and all that, and it will all (mostly) be fixed soon, the thing that really bothers me though is that I really did...

it's been all kinds of a while again. lazy lazy me. oh and busy busy me, but mostly lazy lazy me.

working, working, working, working, working. stop. music. music.

that's basically what my life is like right now, hopefully to end sometime, soon. my album needs to be done by april 8th, so that i can perform it on april 9th, so that i can...
