Here I am again. Its nearly 12:30. Well not alot to say. i'll be up for another hour or so doin hw, but yet i'm spendin time doin this instead. Sounds like a good idea don't it. College rules. My Culture and Schooling, Dr. Romanowski is the best fuckin teacher there is. He's actually getting me to think for myself. And all you HS kids out there, are like " thats easy, i do that all the time" you have no idea how little you actually think. Someday we should have a talk proving how little you think. none of which is your fault. It's all in the way schools function in america. they force you to rely on either the teacher or someone else to tell you want is needed for you to get a good grade. Well it takes alot of explaning.
Well my friend life is going good. I found out today how many people like me and know me better than i know any of them. WE had a KKY and TB�, these are the 2 band frat/sor. Well at this informational meeting all of us possible new members had to standup and give our name, our major, and what instrument i play. Well me being me, I said my name, and major, and i said i play trumpet.. and all the fellow trumpet players all cheered.. which I knew they would. but it really came when Java joe, a trombone player, said "and what else..??". i said, Thats all, he said "no no no.. come on, what else.." I also play Trombone and Sax, and i got this huge like cheer from all around. I rule, i know its real modest. hehe, screw you. I don't care, i rarely get this shit, so i'm gonna take it when i get it.
As far as possible girl relationships are considered, well i had one girl liking me during camp, then all of a sudden she stops talking to me. Now i have one in my section, but i'm more after her, than she is after me. But i've caught her looking in my direction a few times. *hint hint* but other than that, not much is going on, We're going to a high school tomorrow night to play with the local band, they are really small so we're helping them out tomorrow. L8rZ
09-14-01 12:19 AM
well i'm sitting here in my dorm room after midnight, and i'm eating a Fruit & Grain Bar. I have no life now. I had trumpet lessons today. I have enough material to be able to play by next thursday to last me another week. But i'll get more next week. Plus somewhere in there i have school too. I still don't know what i'm playing in Jazz band. It'll be posted on monday at noon. I guess i'll have to wait til monday. I have papers and things to do anyway. I have so much to do and yet i'm so bored. This is weird. I have more time, and yet i have less time.
Now I feel I should give kind of an editorial on the blatent and retarded, yet very well planned, attack on my native soil. Some people are sorely pissed off. Others are emotionally devastated. I fit into neither of these catagories. I fit into the catagory of just plain old fashioned revenge. Just blow the muther fockers to hell and back. And if we accidently take a few people in the area around that had no involvment, well i'm not sorry, you were probably involved in somthing wrong at some time anyways. So its just tough luck. All you people that do this shit to anyone should all die. Then I have a 2nd thought. Maybe we should torture them first. You know pull out all their body hair, one at a time with tweezers. Then like toothpicks and give them many many many many splinters then dump salt and alcohol on them. It'll be a good laugh. So anywho, thats my voice. L8rZ peace to those who deserve it.
09-06-01 11:33 PM
so there we were, Tied up and buck.. said somthing I don't remember. :) so anywho, I got really bored. I have like alot of shit to do, but i have also have alot of time for free stuff.. Its weird. College rules. I don't have much to post.. I haven't gotten info about my standings in anything. I think i'll find out my jazz band status tomorrow. Maybe not till Tuesday. anywho, Talk to me people, i have more free time than i thought. Well i do have bit of info. I was late for Band today by about 15 minutes. I took non-drowsey cold medicine, and fell asleep at my computer, in the middle of typing an email. non-drowsey my ASS!! Pissed me off to no end.. Well thats all i know. L8rZ yo.
09-05-01 8:49 PM
Hey, Y'all. College life is great. I should hopefully survive my english class. The rest will be nice for me. Not alot to say. This is great.. umm.. L8rZ
08-31-01 11:16 PM
I'm at Ohio Northern Now!. Wassup People, Drop me a line sometime. Band Camp here is so fucking fun. Dr. Bates is great, he's hilarious. We have 140 some members plus gaurd. I'm on 1st trumpet too. I can't wait for school to start. It starts tuesday. Ok enough about my life here for awhile. I've gotten msges from some of you about my relationship with Kirsten. I know i've upset her. But i've done what i've felt was best for the both of us. I'm sure i've done a few things I shouldn't have. But i'm still growing and still learning what is to be done. And NONE of you know much better than I anyway, So don't say anything. We're all intitled to our own mistakes that can't be changed, Don't dwell on them. Help those you now when they need help, then move on. Thank you for your cooperation.
L8rZ, Peace out Yo.
07-31-01 12:37 PM
Well I went golfing the first time in my life today. It was intersting.. the majority of my shots went nowhere but to the right and down the hill away from the green.. But I actually birdied on the 8th hole. It was a par 4. So I had fun. We're goin several more times this year.
And yes the Gig went very Well.. I had loads of Fun. My solos were decent. I guess.. i could have done better. But I was told they were good. But I had so much fun, and thats what counts. Maybe somday ya'll will see me in a professional Jazz band making moula`. Hehe I like that word. So i'm tired now. Nighty night.
07-25-01 11:16 PM
Well i'm alive, Don't call the police. I just have a severe case of Poison Ivy. Though its starting to go away, I saw it first on Sunday. But its itchin to beat hell. MY lips are chapped to beat hell. But i'm putting terrible tasting kick-ass medicine on it, so its clearing up too. I'm getting everything possible b4 this big gig. But as long as it just is annoying things that go away by Friday, i'll be ok. So i'm like over doing all kinds of protection thingys.. Like brushing/Flossing/mouthwashing like 2-3 times a day, as opposed to my once a day brushing only. And now i'm putting itch cream on it every other second, and that nasty lip medicine stuff. So i'll be ok, cept i have to go to work tomorrow like this. FUN!.. Well hopefully I'll have a good gig on Friday. Taters!
07-21-01 12:49 AM

So There we were. Sitting around the stage playing our stuff. When all of a sudden this chick walks by and.. You fill in the dot dot dot. ANywho, this is true sign of boredom.

07-12-01 10:55 PM
Well I just corrected, as best I could, the date of the last entry, I guess I forgot to put it in on the last update, sorry. Well anywho, This has been a off-sided and upside down couple of days. Don't know why, but its been very off lately. I'm just tired. My mom has been buying shit for me for college. I'm just excited to go. And I get to go to London and Paris. That is awesome. Well I can't think of anything eventful to put on here. L8rZ
I'm guessing 07-09-01 evening time.
SuP? HoW's It GoInG? Well its ok here. Had some decent days at work. Saw A.I. on sunday night. I didn't like it. It was just kinda boring. It didn't really get to any point. Some people really like it, which is fine.. But i didn't like it. The Maynard ferguson concert was effin AWESOME. It was the coolest thing i'd ever gone to. He did an encore of Birdland. He also did a song called MF hit medley. Which was a medley of every song that was a hit and, quote "made me a wealthy man". So it was a good concert. Didn't stay for Chuck. Separate tickets and I don't really like Chuck that much to want to till stay till really late when I had to work the next morning at 7. I went to work today. picked up Kirsten after and we watched "The Kid" decent movie. Now i'm here. Now i'm going to sleep. Night y'all.
07-06-01 10:04 PM
I'm going to the Maynard Ferguson concert tomorrow!! YEEHAA. I can't wait. I was gonna go to the later one in the year, but Chuck Mangione Is opening for Maynard this year tomorrow. I can't believe it. I can't wait till tomorrow either. I'm picking up Gradert. Supposedly, that is if he got a ticket. He better have. His moim said she'd have no problem getting a ticket. He's supposed to be online around now and i'll talk to him then. So anywho, I haven't updated since the third. But I just haven't had the time or the will to do so. It hasn't been an important thing to me lately. Kirsten was suppoed to call me on wednesday and only wednesday. But she called me every day but then. I wasn't home to be available any day but wednesday. she called every time I wasn't home, because I didn't wait for her to call since she ws supposed to call Wednesday. I was home ALL DAY wednesday, after work. And she never called. Well anywho. Nothing else to say now. L8rZ
07-03-01 10:55 PM
Well I forgot to add somthing yesterday. I got mail from Ohio Northern Marching Band. And it had the songs that we'll be doin this year. Well besides the songs are great. We're going to London AND paris for 3 days each. For only $850.00 total. Thats kick ass. But the music is as good too. We're doin 2 shows. first one is called "Euro Eclectic" which is a group of songs by european composers/arrangers. It starts out with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. The, quote, "swiftly moves into 2 beatles classics, Eleanor Rigby and Penny Lane" Then the show concludes with 2 songs by Elton John, one that I remember is "don't let the sun go down on me" the other I can't remember. The second show is entitled "Fly like and Eagle",featuring songs "Desparado" and "Hotel california" and of course "Fly like and Eagle" is there somewhere, hehe. So that was the best Mail i'd ever gotten. And tonite i find out at Nemacolin is the Maynard Ferguson concert. Which i already knew about this, but Chuck Mangione is also there! both of them. 45 bucks a head. If I can get the day off i'm going there! Well thats all folks. L8rz
07-02-01 10:58 PM
Well i'm still alive.. been at work all sunday and monday mornings. FOund out my great aunt, or someone, died. Plus my brother's dad died. YEs we have different fathers, it happens. So my family has been going to funerals for the last 2 days while i've been at work. I have alot of shit to do tomorrow on my own time, which is all day. I have to call Wheelin Civic Center and ask about tickets to Maynard Ferguson concert. Then finish moving my freind Tammy into her new apartment. Then pick up Andrew and possibly go get the tickets to the concert. Then I drop him off and go home for alittle bit. Then go talk to Mr. Haines real quick and go to Music Unlimited band in Charleroi. Fun!. L8rZ
06-30-01 11:17 PM
Its late and I have to be in at work tomorrow at 7 in the morning. I'm alive though. L8rZ.
06-30-01 1:15 AM
So I spent The day Thursday all with my girlfriend. Cuz she's leaving me for another guy.. er vacation this morning (saturday) and I forget when she'll be back.. maybe next weekend or somthing. Anywho, Today I got up worked alittle with my dad. Then went to work at 3. Got off at 10:15 or so.. hung out there, ate some food, then went over and bullshitted with Chris till 12:30.. Then here I am. Work was nice to me today.. very easy and slow with minor rushes. Not much to say. I think i'll add a guestbook tonite so I know whether or not Kirsten is the one that has been here 80 some times, or if other people actually check my page out. L8rZ
06-26-01 11:15 PM
Hey y'all. Its been a whole 2 days since I updated. OH NO! I died and gone to work... err.. hell. Anywho. speaking of which, well its not speaking, but typing of which. :-)
I was at work on Monday from 4 to 12:30. I would have been done with work like 11:30 like I normally am. But there at 9ish The entire West Alexander Softball team and most fans came by for food and icecream. I was already tired from the 5 hours before of working. So this just made me wanna cry. So when my midnight ubs dude got in it took us till about 11 to catch it all up and I rab trash our to the dumpster and moped all the floors by aobut 12:20. Then i helped him out for a few minutes and left. I wanted to die. Plus if i couldn't go on break. I had to eat and bus at the same time again. I hate that. I really do. Today I didn't do much. Cut alot of grass. Weed-whacked alot. Then went to swim and cool off at Kirsten's pool. Then went to band practice in Charleroi. Then picked up a heavy Desk at an APT. in char. then took it to Park Acenue express and Dropped it off. And now i'm here. Whew! L8rZ
06-24-01 10:06PM
So here I am. At my house all alone. Without any good movies. I have no life. This sucks. Everyone has something to do. I got nothing. Nothing I tells ya. Its pathetic.
I'm going fishing tomorrow with dad. Getting up simi-early. Kinda sucks, i'll be tired, then I have to come home to go to work. That REALLY sucks. I'm supposed to call into work, tonight, to tell them i'm not going on vacation with my girlfriend so they can put me on the schedule if they need me to be on. I doubt they do. I'm sure they got it worked out so they won't need me. Maybe i'll go on a road trip or something with someone. Naww, nobody will go. "I have to work", "My mom is having lung surgery" , "I'm sorry Chris is in a coma, he can't come out to play"...ect.. Damn people always have someting to do. I wish I had friends with no life like me... :-( *sniff* L8rZ
06-24-01 1:27 AM
Well I got back from the most awesome concert in the world. Well at least the most awesome one i've been to, which is a really short list. But it was very cool. I got another new Chicago T-shirt. Very cool. But there was one VERY, very bad thing. These, like 5, lesbianic and ugly women were being highly annoying and highly drunk. And pissin people off lefta nd right. anf falling down,, left and right and up and down and over, ect.. It was sad that it could distract me from the concert. But i have to say. Lee Loughane is one awesome Trumpet player. He got some shit most people don't even know about. and Jimmy pankow just has all around skillz. HE writes awesome tunes and blow a trombone like no other rock trombone player in the world. {*I'm pretty sure he's the only one though :-) *} Then there was the conert I was in just b4 Chicago. It was also very nice. and i got payed 10 bucks for it. very cool. I was expecting nothing ubt free food. But I got the food, performace and money. WIN WIN WIN! Then Chicago concert. all very cool. I had an all around great day. L8rZ Y'all.
06-23-01 12:46 PM
YAHHOOO!!! Tomorrow is the CHICAGO concert. Fucing awesome. I can't wait. I got a busy day but it'll be huge fun. It's gonna be nothing but fun. AS long as I dont' get caught in dead stop traffic, I have NO air conditioning. NONE. ZILCH, NADA, IXNAY, ZERO. Well you get the point. PLus that'l mean shitty seats. So i'm gona have to burn some serious tire to get ASAP. I'm gonna go broke but it'll be worth it. Maybe i'll see some of you people there. I have no idea who actuallt reads this. Maybe I should put some POS guestbook or something so I know who actually comes here. Well i'll check ya later. I'm hitting the sack so i'm good to go tomorrow. Night. L8rZ
06-21-01 10:52 PM
I forgot a few things from the previous update. On saturday I have I'll be performing in Brownville at a family reunion (not mine) with the Music Unlimited Jazz Ensemble from Charleroi. Thats from 4-6ish..hopefully it ends real early, or starts earlier so it'll end early. Because i'm goin to the Chicago concert at Starlake Ampitheater at 7:30 on Saturday. And i'm told by my parents it takes about 1 1/2 hours to get from one place to the other. So i'm gonna have to burn tire to do it. Becuase other wise i'll be in about 40 minutes of traffic getting into Starlake and we'll get crappy lawn seats. Lawn is where the fun is. But we may exchange the tickets for like close seats. I don't know yet. The weather is supposed to be really nice. Shit the weather report just changed, slight chance of rain, AGAIN!! for saturday. It didn't rain last year, but there was a chance, so that means this yera it'll rain like a bitch. DAMNIT, upgrading to inside seats it is.
So i'll have lots of fun. I even know most of their hits, as in I know the music on 1 or more intruments on most of their hit songs. L8rZ Y'all.
06-21-01 10:33 PM
So there we were.. Sitting around at Kings at 4:00 in the morning. I was working the Midnight shift. Other than having to stay up all night. It was an awesome shift.. I had me shit done by like 2:30.. and just sat around and talked all night, and got payed for it. It was great. But then the night Shift Supervisor (pretty much the manager with no real power) said i should leave since no one was there but employees. And she'd get bitched at if she left me on and I was getting payed for doin nothing. So i left aobut 4:30. Asleep by 5:00 AM. Slept till 12:30. Thats about it. I can't wait for College!! L8rZ
06-18-01 11:18 PM
I just read in the paper about my freind shea. Thats him in the paper. He does exsist. Front page of the Obsever Reporter at the bottom. Its goota suck to be him with all that talent. I wish i was cursed like that. I only play about 5 instruments and i'm leraning about 3 others. So I was at work today. It was pretty good. NIce and very slow.. Only worked 9 hours though. thats all.
I can't wait to go to college. IT's gonna be awesome. I'm so happy. Right now i'm trying to get some people together to jam. If u want to. Give m a ring or an email. I'll be sure to let you in on it. All are welcome. Night, L8rZ
06-17-01 1:02AM
Its now 1 in the morning. Why am I up? And why am I not tired? And why do I have to go to work tomorrow at 8:30? And why am I asking "why" alot? So i'm like really bored. And no one talking to me online now. I'm so bored.
But I was just at the Exxon near where I work. Talking to my best friend Chris. He works there, and is working the midnight shift tonite. And we were playing with those damn little cows and bulls and other aminals that when you squeeze them shit comes out of it. Well he pulled the shit outta one and threw it up to the ceiling and it got stuck. He had to get a ladder to get it off. And even then it was quite difficult to pull off of the plasterisk (made it up) ceiling tile. Then I took one, didn't pull the shit all the way out. Just enough so it stuck out alittle. Then I threw it up in a controlled manner it got stuck to the ceiling. I couldn't stop laughing that it actually got stuck all the way. So I got a broom from him to try to knock it off. Well it didn't work, only mades things worse. It smeared everywhere. There is still a grease mark on the ceiling. Next time you're in the Exxon station at Exit 2 in Claysville. Look up above the cash register. There are 2 discolored marks on the ceiling from us. He hopes his manager never sees it. It was some funny shit. L8rZ y'all.
06-16-01 12:33AM
Well I just got back from ONU about an hour ago. I got my schedule done for the fall quarter. It's so awesome. It's SOO easy. (I can't remember but i'm guessing on the classes, not the times) I have a 9 o'clock Music theory/Ear training 5 days a week. Then 10 o'clock Enlish 110. Then 11 o'clock some kind of general education class for 4 days a week (Wednesday I have off). Then at 5:00 is Marching Band/Symphonic Band till 6:45. Then I have Jazz band on thursday nights at 7. This is SO awesome. then I have 2 credit hours of Private trumpet lessons and 1 credit hour of private piano to fit in the busy schedule. HAHAHAHA.. I luv college already!! L8rZ
06-13-01 10:11PM
So there we were, standing in line for the "Phantom's Revenge" it took about 25 minutes to get throught it at aout noon time. It took about 45 minutes in the evening after dinner. Anywho, its a much smoother ride. Due mostly too, in my opinion, the new cars for it. They don't constrain you to the car. It's a seatbelt and a bar that come from the side. So you can actually put your hands up all the way. So i had a good time at Kennywood today. And my freind (the one that I stole this idea from) is going to Kennywood tomorrow. Missed him by a day. I'll be going back again sometime with my girlfriend this summer. Or at least I want to. This was a decent day. Tomorrow i'm doin nothing. I was gonna go to the movies but me and my family are leaving for Ohio Northern earlier than I thought. So there won't be an update till at earliest Saturday night (early sunday morning). See y'all around. L8rZ
06-13-01 12:13AM
Well no story to start out tonite. I had a great day.. Spent the entire day with kirsten. She came here at noon. we watched American Pie, which she hadn't seen prior. Then we had alittle fun then I took her home. I came back home to eat dinner. Then I went back to her house to swimming in their pool and then we went to Kings to eat iceream and then I took her home. That was pretty much my day. Tomorrow i'm goin to Kennywood for $16.50, instead of the usual like 24.50 for weekdays. It'll be great. But i'm not with Kirsten, ubt a good friend. WEll thats all folks, da d-duh da da da DAHHH!!!! L8rZ
06-12-01 12:28PM
So there I was strapped down with jumper cables. she alked in wearing nothing but black boots and carrying a bottle on motoroil... Wait.. wrong forum. Anywho.
Well not much happened today. I got up about noon. then wrote some more thank you notes to family/friends that were at my grad. party. Then i helped my dad plant the rest of the sweet corn in the garden. then We got sawdust to put on the vegie garden to keep weeds out.. then i went to town to rent movies. Told my sister jenny about how working at Kings is easy. We went to eat icecream at Kings tonite as well. Now my g/f is bugging me about i'm writing here instead of to her on MSN msg service.. So anywho i got no plans, cept i'm goin Kennywood on Wednesday with Bwandon,, errr brandon. But my g/f Kirsten is cute (told ya) anywho. Then i'm going to ONU for an orientation on friday, but leaving thursday after noon. i'm going to Ohio Northern Universityto major in Music Education and minor in Business and Music composition/arranging. If i can afford it that is. Well thats it. Night, & L8rZ
06-11-01 10:45PM
Well something was royally screwed up here.. somewhere along the lines everything of the last 2 updates.. has been erased.. got me on how. Well i'll just continue on as if nothing has happened.
So I had to work today, well yesterday (sunday the 10th) And it wa alright.. Working on Saturday sucked.. but Sunday was decent.. I rule there. I get what I want when I want it. Really, I do. Then I was supposed to go this jazz band i'm in, in charleroi, but somewhere between the last 2 weeks i haven' been able to go to the practices, they cancelled this one.. and nobody that i know, thats in it, told me. So I went there with my horns for nothing. Made me alittle mad. Then me and Kirsten (with Jack and his g/f, in his own truck) went to the movies. Saw Evolution. Hilarious movie. I recomend it to everyone that likes dumb comedy. If u like Jim Carey (he's not in it) then you'll love this movie. Then we (me and Kir) went to Sheena's (*She-ra*) Graduation partay.. Good party. We had some card games goin and a rousing game of "how-high-can-we-make-the-fire-till-krcil-can't-jump=over-it". Krcil being me of course. they never got it high enough.. the flames were well over ten feet but the base was only aobut 5 feet around and about 4 feet high. so i cleared it with nothing but cinged hair. many times.. I'm done. L8rZ
