[Thursday, June 3rd, 2004 at 9:07pm] [ mood | sick ] [ music | candiria - what doesnt kill you.... ] i like going over a month without updating this crap. im really bored tonight and i have been staring at the internet for an hour now without doing anything. so i thought i owe it to the world to update this shit. two weeks from now i will be on a plane going to georgia to see my lil bee. this is a long overdue visit. it was pretty much overdue since the last time i stepped on a plane to fly home, so needless to say im stoked for another week of fun in the sun with the beeeeee. i got to spend the last 3 days with the california boys. it was a good time. took a trip to nj for their criminal trials. came back for a show with the used. it was so much fun. i wish i could see them more often. speaking of the used. goddamn. that band sounded so amazing live. everything about their performance was amazing. so much energy, perfect singing, the most intense screaming ever, and pretty much everything about it. the new songs sound so good. i cant wait for the new record. while we are on the topic of new records, there is a ton to talk about: terror - one with the underdogs - FUCK. i dont usually like the core but this shit is so good. its hard as hell. so fucking good. makes me almost want to core mosh. SIKE. candiria - what doesn't kill you... - goddamn. so fucking good. the reggae/soul/sevendust mosh is amazing. i cant get enough of it. slipknot - volume 3. - old news by now but still fucking amazing. all the core kids are gonna be into this one. its straight up mosh. i love slipknot. cant wait for ozzfest this summer. underoath - their only chasing safety - straight up story of the year. so fucking good. bowling has been a little weak lately. although a little while back i reached a new high score of 209. i gotta get back up there though. i have been lacking. lately i havent really been working much because i hate it. i need to do something i enjoy. i cant stand stupid girl drama at work. i used to think working with all girls would have been awesome but im constantly the butt of all their man hating. im not ALWAYS a typical guy. fuck. so i have made the decision that i will be going back to school in september. im sick of not doing anything to better my life so im finally going to start up with school again. i guess this first semester im just going to take some general courses to get back into it. then we will see what im going to be studying. woo woo. i think im done for now. maybe i will think of more for my next bi-monthly update. im going to bed now. i feel like crap. 7 ! ! ! ? ? ?

oh cursive is so cool! [Saturday, December 6th, 2003 at 10:36am] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | cursive - the ugly organ ] well its that time of year again. most of you know it as "winter" but i refer to it as a pain in the ass. now dont get me wrong. the winter can bring a lot of fun. snowball fights, sledding, reckless turns around corners, pelting my dog with snowballs in the front yard, etc. the first example of pain in the ass has already hit. this morning i was woken up by my mother at 730 am! "mark, you need to go shovel the driveway and move your car so i can go to work." sweeeeeeeet. thats how i want to spend my early saturday morning. getting out of my incredibly warm bed, to stand outside like a jackass in the snow. just shoveling it would be way too easy. my driveway is on a slant so of course i have to slide down it the whole time im trying to do it. definately doesnt make for a good time. thankfully, as many of you probably already assumed, yes, i had my ipod with me so it was alright. ( this is what i'm dealing with so far. ) this is also the first time my beautiful car has to deal with the snow. its doing pretty good. the heated mirrors and seats are so key for this weather. i want to express my love for downshifting. it is the best possible thing to do in the winter. screw driving an automatic. viva la downshift!( my poor car recovering from the storm ) i have to go to newbury comics in a while and work til 5. i have a feeling its going to be dead. which isnt a bad thing at all. im feeling lazy right now and dont really feel like doing that much work. in less than a month i will be enjoying the beautiful california weather with good people. i cant wait. pumpkin spice coffee from hava java is the best thing next to my car and my ipod! haha. im done. xxx 6 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Tuesday, December 2nd, 2003 at 3:01pm] [ mood | melancholy ] [ music | small brown bike - the river bed ] so yesterday i started my xmas job at newbury comics. i did it last year so its nothing new to me. but its still a good time. i just walk around and sort cds and ask people if they want help. its chill. next week, between my two jobs i will be working 65 hours. fun fun fun. im kind of glad cause i feel like im slipping back into one of those moods when i dont feel like hanging out with anyone. im slowly becoming the anti social mark that no one sees for the next two months again. it sucks and it doesnt. i cant decide which one is overpowering the other. the day after xmas im flying out to see zack and a bunch of other people. im going to be staying there through new years. its going to be amazing im sure. this is my first time going to california and im looking forward to better weather than what us new englanders are going to experience pretty soon. cant wait to start raging with the original rager. as always there is a rollercoaster of feelings going on. something that i feel im never going to have control over. i feel that things are so fucked and all i want to do is figure everything out and be totally happy for once. i think about you all the time, i just wish they could all be happy thoughts. 2 ! ! ! ? ? ?

wait a second, mark never updates. [Tuesday, November 18th, 2003 at 12:35pm] [ mood | jealous ] [ music | throwdown - haymaker ] yes ladies and gentlemen. an update. yesterday i hung out with rich and then mark and dee came over and said they were going to the poison the well show. the show i totally forgot about. after a few phone calls everything was set and mark, dee, jim, jesse, and myself were off to the worcestor paladium to see the show. ryans the best dude because after the few years we have known each other, he always makes sure to get us into the shows whenever they are anywhere near our area. he is the only dude in the band that i even talk to anymore, and he is just an all around good dude. mad props ryan. haha. so we get in and denali had just started. well, lets just say that denali is one of my favorite bands for a very good reason. they were so good. i enjoyed them so much while a sea of nu metal retards heckled them. fuck that shit. gay. so i definately have some little infatuation with the singer. she is beautiful and her voice is amazing. now i know i would never meet this girl or anything but finding out that derek from ptw is now dating her, really bummed me out! i seriously was bummed all night about it. hahaha. i suck so bad. i wish steph could have been there to hold my hand through the whole set. that would have made the night complete. ptw was next. fucking shit. poison the well. that band never ceases to amaze me. they played mostly new songs and only one song from opposites of december. which is totally fine with me. i love all of their stuff. the place went nuts for them. it was awesome. they sounded good as hell and went off like crazy. so good. finally the deftones played and i dont really need to go into detail. the deftones rule. straight up. thats all. i get to go to this show on saturday in providence and i cant wait. its going to be amazing im sure. poodle and kristyn will be coming up for it which will be even better. i need some good hanging out. its nice out so im going to wash my car now. i wish i could say i was happy when im really just sad. blaaaaaaaaaah. 3 ! ! ! ? ? ?

out of control [Monday, October 27th, 2003 at 12:25pm] [ mood | stoked. ] [ music | boys night out - make yourself sick ] the new hoobastank single is amazing. check it out. http://islandrecords.com/hoobastank_insider/login.asp?tourl=index.las 1 ! ! ! ? ? ?

long time no update [Monday, October 13th, 2003 at 7:22pm] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | machinehead - through the ashes of empires ] i havent updated this thing in a few weeks. there hasnt really been much to talk about until now. today was beautiful. i think i listened to the new machinehead 5 million times. its brutal as hell. i love it. the biggest news of all comes in the form of my brand new volkswagen golf. i picked it up last monday and i have been driving around like crazy ever since. i decided that if i was spending all this money on a new car i might as well get all the upgrades. so i got the alloy wheels, monsoon sound system, heated seats, sunroof, power everything, and all that other jazz. i love it so much! there really isnt that much else that has been going on. just hanging out and having a good time. doing the work thing as usual. rockin out hard as fuck. same ole shit. ( sweet ride ) ps. kill bill is the best movie ever!!!! 9 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003 at 12:55pm] [ mood | tired ] [ music | bleeding through - this is love, this is murderous ] so im listening to the new bleeding through right now and its kind of whack. i mean, dont get me wrong, i like it, but i dont REALLY like it like the last one. when the last one came out it was so heavy and every song was out of control. this time around everything is recycled and just kind of boring. some of the singing parts are kind of lame and the crew vocals in that one song are TERRIBLE. they shouldnt be there at all. im kind of disappointed. also the recording kind of sounds like poop. bummout for sure. 2 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Sunday, September 21st, 2003 at 11:38pm] [ mood | paranoid android ] [ music | wheat - hope and adams ] aside from being sick on friday. i still managed to make the best of my weekend. how you ask? i went to boston and bro'd down with my brother from a different mother, troman. that bitch now owns a 30 gig ipod and a 17 inch g4 powerbook laptop. fuck him. im jealous as hell. i played with his new computer all day and put shit on his ipod for him. it was a good time. i wish mine would work right. i am mostly just being paranoid and stuff but sometimes i feel like my friends have problems with me and i wish they would just come out and say what is on their minds. this isnt directed towards any single person but just in general. reguardless it sucks. im going to sleep. xxx 5 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Friday, September 19th, 2003 at 6:33pm] [ mood | sick ] [ music | kenna - new sacred cow ] well i never really feel like updating because i really dont have much to say. its friday night and im in for the night. yesterday i started to come down with some flu-like symptoms. instead of staying home and resting i decided to go to the take action tour. at the time it was well worth it but looking back on it i should have stayed home. oh well. too many good things to recap. good bands. good friends. new friends. good times. hung out afterwards and didnt end up getting home til after 2. not a good idea when you have to wake up at 530. i was a sick zombie at work today. my body aches so much and i cant stop blowing my nose. but the best thing of all is having a high fever but being freezing. its the best. siiiiike. i got into a small car accident the other day. i rear ended someone. if that wasnt bad enough. not driving my car. alissa left her car at my house all week while she was at school. i definately rear ended someone in her car. i fucking rule. a little bit of damage to her car but not much. the people i hit are being really sketchy now so we are going through insurance which sucks. oh well. i suck. so the best news ever is that the deftones and poison the well are touring together. hoobastank was supposed to be on the tour but they dropped off. so chino from deftones personally picked up an amazing band to take hoobastanks place....DENALI!!! one of my favorite bands ever. so fucking good. weird that i get in for free. im fucking pumped. unfortunately i have to wait til november. the same old downer shit to report. things suck. my head feels like its going to explode. im going to lay down. 1 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Tuesday, September 16th, 2003 at 12:15am] [ mood | crappy ] [ music | radiohead - the bends ] so its a little past 12 and i have to be up in 5 hours. im having a hard time trying to fall asleep. things are shitty right now, and its not a good time. i have a headache constantly and i cant stop thinking about actions taken and their consequences. there is so much more to write about but i know that no one wants to read this continuous thread of sappy queer entries. goodnight. xxx ? ? ?

busy busy busy... [Saturday, September 13th, 2003 at 2:06am] [ mood | stressed ] [ music | denali - the instinct ] same exact shit that im always doing. listening to the new denali. just hearing her voice makes me relive some of the best visits of my life. never knowing what to say. never knowing what is going on. always feeling confused and frustrated. torn. 1 ! ! ! ? ? ?

[Sunday, September 7th, 2003 at 10:24pm] [ mood | craptacular ] [ music | death cab for cutie discography, ipod style ] two updates in one day. what gives? hung out in providence today. it was a good time. spent some time with my family. good times. talked to steph and i was an asshole to her. i suck really bad when im in bad moods. im sorry. say hello to your new favorite band www.thedarknessrock.com watch that video and sit there in utter amazement. find the cd and download it. its so worth it! im going to bed. xxx 1 ! ! ! ? ? ?
