played in windsor last friday!
it was great.
got sick.
hung around windsor with cristina, joe g, nicole, griffin, and cristie!
i'm in london now and i'm rearranging my room, and i'm going to put a couch in it. today i bought a descendents CD for five dollars. tonight i'm going to band practice, then the slackers.
...speaking of band practice, mitzie's writing some crazy song and he wanted the name of a city or something to go into his song. ...i just told him to put Transylvania, (even though that's like.. a territory or something) cause that's where dracula's from! and now that's in the song hahaha. "she was a pretty girl from transylvania!" it's kinda funny.
i need to go shave. tomorrow i will continue this ultimate room cleanup. saturday is a date with denice! and sunday is... well who knows!
totoro! |

hmm hmm hmm...
this weekend was pretty great........###
friday we (the outriders) did a bunch of recording at alex's house... and then griffin and i just came back here and played snes and did whatever... i ate english muffins with tofu and avocado and portabello mushrooms. that meal was the highlight of my day i think...
anyway! saturday was quite the day... i spent a really really good portion of the day completely naked watching seinfeld and eating rice pudding.. then i showered and stayed naked for like another hour and chatted with ian. ...later on griff and i went downtown with denice flying saucer, and i bought some guitar picks! we walked around for a bit then came back here and played Mario 2 and stuff...
eventually i went to go play a gig with the deportees at the brunswick. it was kind of a shitty gig... but whatever. i had an ok time playing! chris's girlfriend kept commenting on how i was so limber and relaxed for some reason.. haha i think i'm getting over stupid stage fright.
...yesterday i spent most of the day hanging out with denice... we ate food and played chess and stuff at her house... then went downtown to see king kong. ok movie! it wasn't like.. really really good, but it was pretty cool. worth the three bucks at least heheh. ummm king kong is cool and denice is quite the gal... and now i'm gonna hang out with griffin..
(p.s. i just accidentally shoved both of my feet into a bowl of gravy.)

it's 3:13 AM, and i'm eating honey roasted peanuts sold to me at a discount price on account of their stale quality. lately i've been getting in the habit of using stupid sayings. some of them are real sayings... but a lot of them i just make up. like... It's all just salt and pepper. or... Hard nipples, hard times. it's a weird habit that i've gotten into. usually before using one of these sayings i'll say 'you know what they say...'
anyway. i just got back from playing at the Salt Lounge. great show!! i love being in the deportees a lot a lot a lot. and dave (drummer!) is an awesome guy. he is more than TWICE my age man... he's 37. and sometimes it seems like he's just one of my pals. but other times it's like.. i see him as an authority in a way. just cause he's older than me. ...well maybe authority is the wrong word. at any rate... he was really taking care of me today. i didn't really have any friends there... so he just sat at a table and chatted with me for most of the night. none of my friends really showed up... but whatever. apparently he got stood up by some broad.. of this he tells me "c'est la vie"... and i reply "that's what they say." for some reason that makes him laugh a lot "yah... whoever the fuck 'they' are... they're right." and he kept going to the bar and buying me soda and stuff. me being underage is funny... the staff at the Salt Lounge just kinda managed to forget about IDing us (er me anyway, since i look like a kid)... so i just kept dodging staff the whole night so they wouldn't notice i never got my hand stamped or whatever. also... the Terminal Wallys are at once the best band ever, and the best group of guys.
tomorrow, well today rather, my mom and brother and his wife will be coming up to london to hang out for a bit. i don't really miss them too much honestly... but it'll still be nice to see them all the same.
so anyway...
THURSDAY was the Queers. that was the best show i've been to in a while... i was like.. in pits and stuff. for like every song. well almost hahaha. and i was dancing around with my friend's roommate to ramones covers. (they played three ramones tunes! and the Riptides covered Bonzo goes to Bitpurg on top of that...) the queers are my favourite. i haven't had that much fun seeing a punk band in a very very long time. i hope i'm still a punk when i'm joe queer's age. |

class is so boring.
aaand... the outriders rule, ok! umm we'll have a website soon i hope. we might start recording today. we might start recording tomorrow... we might be playing with Lo and the Magnetics soon but i don't wanna get my hopes up. suddenly venice shoreline chris just isn't enough!
it feels like things are picking up for us... i'd like to gig around in guelph and maybe toronto, perhaps new market and other random cities like that. anyway... if you can check us out in oshawa on the 17th... maybe in london with the magnetics the day before if things work out. if you can't come to either of those, then DEFINITELY come see us at the Nintendo Rosati Complex in windsor on the 24th.
ok that's it. later gators. |

if i have a kid, his or her favourite animal would be yeast. also... i think i'm going to purchase a few crazy zines. like fish piss. well i have one issue of fish piss... it's pretty badass. but i think i'll get more.
i think it might be for the best if you see this:
anyway... i don't have MUCH to talk about. being back in london is just ok. i miss a few people a lot! and i miss a lot of people some. i'm practicing with the deportees tonight, for the first time in like three weeks or whatever. also, the main reason why i'm writing in here is so i can put off cleaning my room. but.. well i really should hop to that. the mice situation in here is getting rediculous. i also need a shower. maybe i should just stop writing.
...ok? okay!

i'm going back to london on sunday... and i'm not THAT excited. but band practices will start up again. for this i am happy. and griffin is moving in like a week after i get there!!! THAT is gonna be amazing.
tomorrow i need to get my smart serve, and i need to hang out with cris, and i need to meet her mom.
today! ...today was a great day. lots of ping pong and video games, and griffin came over and writing went very well!!! the first song we ever wrote together, being the Circumcision song, is being totally reworked. well it's turning into a whole concerto. or opus. or symphony. or whatever. i dunno. something really amazing, with many parts to it, and chapters. the whole song tells a story starting from ejaculation and journey of a sperm up until the brutal removal of the baby's foreskin. and... i dunno. it's going well though.
i got a new guitar and it's so great and piss yellow. the strings have got extra twang, just the way i like it! and today nicole came over and we had a good hangout, with jesse too. i like my brother a lot a lot. and i like nicole a lot a lot. and i like Dr Mario almost as much.
...now i'm going to go. and play video games for a bit, then hit the hay. oi!
[p.s., we (the deportees) are pretty much for sure playing call the office on the 27th. i don't know anymore than that though.] |

man sarah is pretttty cool! shopping went well. as good as shopping can get i suppose. in reality... i only got a few sweet things. for some reason i bought spinal tap for my brother. i'm not sure what made me do this. i'm not sure if he'll like it. i dunno. for my other brother i bought some heller novel. i don't remember what it's called. it's not catch22 though. it sounds really really awesome.
anyway, the band that i'm in [the Deportees] are NOT opening for the queers in feb. this saddens me. chris tried to get us on the bill, and the guy from call the office said it's full already... but instead he just randomly gave us a slot on january 27th. so... we're playing CTO jan. 27th if anyone wants to go. london's a bit of a drive though. hey at least it'll be all ages this time ^_^.
so last night i had a really bizarre dream involving some eggplant coloured stone which granted me the power to jump really really high, and float down gracefully. i stole it from gym class at school. then i was walking home (in london) with my friend ryan who i've known since i was an embryo, and we took a wrong turn and ended up in some hell house of horrors. then he got jealous of my eggplant coloured stone and turned on me, wearing a death-mask of pure pumpkin evil. i had to punch him in the face a couple of times then jump onto these roofs outside to get him off my tail. it was such a crazy crazy dream. i may write a song about it... i may not. who knows.
so anyway. we saw Watcher in the Woods or something? i don't remember what it was called. but it was this creepster movie i saw when i was like 7 on my birthday, and i've been wanting to see it again over the past 5 years or so... well it was such a scary movie! i thought it was. i don't want a bell to fall on me. not in a million years! |

i might start making sugar cookies now, even though it's bed time... and they might turn out horribly. i plan on using an avocado to replace the demanded egg. avocado cookies!? i don't have baking soda either. or vanilla extract. these will most likely turn out to be the worst cookies ever if i actually make them. oh well. i really want cookies for some reason.
i have sprinkles do decorate them with. and this pink jelly stuff too. hmm.. i'll try to find a recipe right now. if it doesn't look like too much work, i'll start making them i guess.
...also, playing my first show with the deportees this saturday. i'm really excited and scared. and i'm glad i started singing with them, but i dunno.. i dunno i dunno. we'll see where we go from that. i hope i hope i hope we end up opening for the Queers. we'll see i guess. |

i went to bed early last night... at like 9:15 or so... and woke up at 10:something this morning. pretty good sleep! umm right now someone is propping a ladder against my bedroom window!?! what the hell??? i don't have any curtains and i'm completely naked. this is insane...
...hmm someone just knocked on my door and said they need to take out my bedroom window for some reason. i don't know what's going on. maybe they're finally fixing my window? it's been broken since before i moved here. so i just told the guy i was changing and i threw on some clothes. i could not find underwear. and right now i'm wearing cutoff shorts and a tshirt... i just realized these shorts have holes everywhere. well there's a few nice ones that haven't been patched up yet on the butt area... this is a terrible pair of shorts to wear without underwear. geez...
man this is so weird. my room's a bloody mess. i think the guy needs to come inside here to do something. and lkie.. well i just shoved all this junk to one side so maybe the guy can get through or whatever...
ah man this is so fucked up. why is this happening? i need underwear. |

I'm really tired right now. i should probably do some homework now. well i need to study a bit for a test tomorrow. anyway, i won't talk about homework or school in general, because that's not fun. so i'll talk about something that's for real i guess.
chad just burned a whole bunch of his stuff... clothes, cds, a ton of old sketchbooks, video games, trigun action figures hahaha... a lot a lot of stuff. even a few keyboards. and, hélène's dad has done that too before... hmm. but he went super hardcore and hitchhiked to winipeg. he didn't have ANYTHING. no pictures, all this stuff he'd written, old year books, he threw it all away. doing that would be interesting.
i read about doing stuff like that. sometimes i even think about doing stuff like that.. but i mean. i couldn't burn EVERYTHING> when it comes down to it, there's so much pointless shit i have, that i would really have a hard time parting with. ...but in the end, if i wanna do something, like just randomly move to the west coast for a while for a beach punk extravaganza (which i really think about doing a lot...) i wouldn't really be able to take anything with me anyway... besides a skateboard, and some very small instrument. i should take up the piccolo or something... maybe the pan flute eheh. i dunno...
anyway, i do have SO much pointless junk here, and i always think about getting more STUFF. it's usually always music-related... like a new synth, a new bass, a new mixer, a new... ...pan flute. but STILL.
i just opened a drawer in front of me... and there's two frisbees inside. i know i like frisbee more than the average person... by why would ANYONE need more than one disc? i have two here, and quite a few more in windsor...
maybe i should give my trombone away soon. i dunno. it wouldn't hurt for me to concentrate on fewer instruments anyway... ah.. but i still don't think i could just get rid of something like that.
another thing... i should get rid of some shoes... and some pants while i'm at it. hmm... also, i'd like to trade my old World Industries 57mm wheels for some badass like 65mm squishy as hell wheels. i'd probably need risers too if i got wheels that big... and some warm weather..
chad is currently burning a folder of songs that he wrote in the nineth grade.
i'm excited to move next year. in with kerri and kevin i THINK. i'd like to live in a cheap place on dundas. kerri wouldn't mind... she just wants somewhere that's really really inexpensive. kevin is opposed to living anywhere that's in a 'questionable' neighborhood. ..woah! kevin i just realized that you may be reading this right now... hmmm.. ah well.
goodnight. |

this song though... this song is crazy! it'll be past the six minute mark hopefully! oh dear! and it's not even ska or reggae or anything like that. it's wonky music! like.. whatever. it's amazing. |

holy crap. it's 2:23am. i just woke up. i'm in the computer lab at school. i went to sleep on the floor for a couple hours. bad i dea i think.
anyway... there's some stupid cold air that's literally blowing on me from somewhere. i dunno where it's coming from, but now i'm freezing. doing homework this late really really sucks. i'm an idiot sometimes. i wish i were wearing those black gloves that teena gave me. they would be perfect rigth now. WHY are my hand so cold? and my eyelids so heavy?
i'm listening to Cat Power on these big speakers that are hanging up on the walls. i'm just playing CDs through the teacher's computer heheheh. man im tired i'm tired i'm tired. i gotta stay awake!!!!!!! |

hmm... i pretty much just wrote a whole song... lyrics and guitar anyway.. just like, over the course of this night. it's super super pop punky. and i like it a lot. and it's about lucid dreaming kinda. i dunno. the lyrics are stupid so i won't post them. i might rework some... i might not. i dunno.
but anyway... the song is too punk for my ska band, and too poppy for my punk band? hahaha... oh no! i'll show it to the deportees though on thursday and see what they say. but i'm ever so scared. i haven't let them hear anything that i've written ever. and it's really not their style haha.. oh no. but it's still good.
and now i'm listening to the riverdales cause the song i made got me in the mood.
also.. i want to go to japan probably. aaaaand... i have SO much homework to do but i'd rather read girls' manga. stupid shojo... sometimes listening to happy summertime music when it's cold and raining outside depresses me... but then listening to sad cold raining music also depresses me... i should just listen to jazz all winter long haha.
there's a party at the beach tonight,
slip in the back seat, and let's go!

what do YOU like better as far as names for a band goes?
the wall street grubs: wall street honoring my favourite song from the late jackie mittoo (ska organ genious, original skatalite), and grubs cause they're damn cool
or.
the exemplars: according to x-men storyline, "Cyttorak was merely one of a pantheon of eight gods, all with earthbound avatars. These Exemplars enlisted the Juggernaut's aid in constructing a machine that would enslave the human race. As the Exemplars tended to in their final preparations, Cain withdrew deep into himself, where he clashed with Cytorrak."
there you have it. please gimme some input! |
