Prom!

With alayna bear.

i met her 2 years and 4 months ago on an airplane.

We danced the night away. She and I. I didn't really care about anything else, really. Afterwards we had a picnic at O'fallon park with Spencer and Jess. I think she had fun.

Well, she's gone until next time. We went to breakfast at Denny's with her mom this morning.

Man, she's a doll. I miss her already. Gaww.

Pictures later. She's gone, i'll talk about it more later, probably.

Prom, 3 2 1.

Wow, my senior Prom is right on the doorstep. Alayna's coming tomorrow and we're spending the day with Spencer and Jess. I went out to get my articles of clothing- i got a nice white shirt with a turquoise tie that matches my Vans perfectly. I got some skinny black pants from Hot Topic. Aaaand a sweet suit vest from Target. The whole package was like $50!
Plus, at Dierburg's, Mom and I picked out a corsage for Alayna. Yellow with tiny white daisies in it. It's going to look awesome. She's going to look awesome.
Man, i can't wait to see her again. We'll be sitting at the table with Will, Kaitlin, Alaina, Wil McCarthy, Micheal, Chaz and some other people. We finna rip it up.

ps. i got this hella sexy Playboy cologne.

"...so you made my life into a movie..."

Just got back from probably the best Jack's Mannequin show i've ever been to, right under the '06 Tour For The Cure one up in Champaigne. Freaking amazing night tonight. I went up with Mark, and met up with Alexa and some of her friends. This was her first time ever seeing them.

So we bro'd it down with Low Vs Diamond after their set over at the merch table, they're really nice guys. Tad was pretty cool, and one of them had an awesome fro.

Anyway, the actual show was phenomenal. They opened with 'Crashin' and went through 'The Mixed Tape', 'Annie Use Your Telescope', and a bunch of other Glass Passenger songs i hadn't seen live yet.

Here's the setlist according to some friends on jacksmannequin.org...

Crashin
The Mixed Tape
Annie Use Your Telescope
Spinning
Holiday From Real
Swim
Bloodshot
I'm Ready
MFEO/You Can Breathe
Rescued
Hammers & Strings
Bruised
The Resolution
Dark Blue

...encore...

Caves
Cavanaugh Park
La La Lie



No Doris Day, but CRASHIN and CAVES and CAVANAUGH PARK and HAMMERS... gawww all of it was just perfect. He was so into it and kept spitting everywhere.


PS. The Disco ball was ridiculously awesome.
PSS. Girls kept hitting on me all night. I grinded the night away with this girl i met during Dark Blue and we danced to Caves. Cool. And some girl gave me her number. Coool. Whatev!

spring, full blast

I missed my acoustic guitar. I kind of took a break of sorts after New Years, and i just picked it back up again and have been writing like crazy.
So i've got this new little song i've been working on I'm calling Prom, and you can probably guess what it's about! I have to say it's a lot more upbeat than a lot of the songs i've written for acoustic guitar. Here are some words from it!


it's freaking me out that my heart is done
with all of its searching
i'm so sick of waiting for May to come
and greet us with
a reason to dress up and waste our time
time that's never coming back
so hold me tight till it feels right
and shake that ass.

oh i've got news for you
my darling dear.
and oh, i will wait for you
cuz this is love
and you are not right here
next to me.
but you will be.


like i've said numerous times, the weather has a direct correlation with my inspiration for writing stuff. It's that time of year where the air is getting warmer with the constant rain and flowers are coming out of all their hiding places. I haven't taken any walks yet, but if you know me, i do that often and that is where most of my songs come from- if i'm stumped on a lyric or melody, i take a walk and let it follow me.

Well, Spencer's in Idaho or Michigan or something, so i'll probably be going to some party out of town with Stephen Reichelt tonight.

keep it real!

ps. Jack's Mannequin for the sixth time next week! Yeah!

Fruity Loops (music update)

I just went to Guitar Center today with Stephen Reichelt and i was looking at the gear for when i want to do my A Firefly Stare songs live... looks like some pretty basic stuff that i could get used to. The guy talked to me about the sampling and stuff for the midi synths, mostly stuff i had already figured, like i'll need to make most of the music beforehand.

Right now i'm downloading the latest demo of FL Studios on my PC (Jeff's getting me a cracked full version sometime soon) so i can work on beats and melodies and stuff at home, instead of taking a trip to the studio. I think Things will go a lot faster this way.

Plus, i'm planning on putting my Firefly songs as a 4-track ep up on the iTunes store whenever i finish vocals for "Visit You". The other three songs are finished, and i've aleady started writing new songs. I don't think i can ever just stop.

Well, i have to go to work soon so i gotta take a shower. Aaron just got back a couple nights ago from Nebraska and Stephen Jones just left for Phoenix for an open house at the Conservatory of Recording Arts. Cool!

I'm On A Boat!

This has got to be one of the funniest things i've seen in a good minute.
