Basically in the process of a week or so my concept of trust, life, love, emotion, friendship, hope, comfort, humour, basically everything that makes me who i am, has been seriously fucked with. I don't know how to feel about nething right now, so really i just don't feel lately. I'm just tired of being fucked around with, i make mistakes just like everyone and i don't need ppl to exploit these becuz i am FULLY aware of them. For the record no i am not depressed, i'm simply confused and unsure of a lot of things, tho i won't lie, i am pretty insecure lately. I just feel like i'm stuck in limbo and i really need something to happen that makes me feel different, like something new. I'm tired of taking ppls shit but at the same time i don't want to be left with no one to take shit from. This is a pure ramble, the point of it all is that well FUCK U ALL!!! lol...i meant that as a pure joke....but im gonna leave that as my end point cuz i think its close enough. *muah* |

I'm really hoping for the best of things to come this summer. I always like my summers cuz i always find that skool gets in the way of too much of my fun and time lol. Well now that i have summer I know that I want to start getting busy and down with it, like every summer, keeping myself always unbored. I love having adventurous summers, last summer was one of my best and i'm hoping this one matches or even tops it. I mean come on, (last summer) crazy amount of parties, met like a million new ppl (being the group), got in to futures past, travelled, saw ppl, had great times. i have a lot of memories from last summer and with my memory its really cool cuz i remember it in detail and it's fun to relive when ur bored out of ur mind lol. so ya i really want stuff to start happening: parties, group hang-outs, band stuff like gigs and touring and shit (which is scheduled), the album!, make new friends, chilling with my friends, wonderland, parks, swimming!, biking (gonna get a new one...i have to), do things ive never done, and ill finish off with the sappiest part...be with someone i like a lot...and i know right now who that is, and im hoping she's not to busy this summer. and ya i got myself all hyper thinking about optimistic thoughts...but like the song says, "always look on the bright side of life". ROCK OUT!! |

it started off with a typical troubled wake-up in the morning. than i went off to skool, got a chilatte and went to gym and played ultimate frisbie! than pretty much stayed in skool and than left and since it was an early dismissal i decided to head over to rosedale on the way to practice. so i surprised zoe there, quite litterally by walking up behind her lol. than she was like "hey what r u doing here?! :)" and so than i walked her all the way to her place, we stopped for ice-cream and bugged jason at work although basically he came out said "hey guys....o shit my nose is bleeding (which it was)" and ran back in the work and didnt come out for a good while so we carried on our way. so than i dropped zoe off at home and spent a long time with her on her porch :). headed to practice (damn its freaking humid out now), so i stopped by jasons on the way and listened to "worked & twisted", the white stripes-esque band that we had, those shows were so funny! so that entertained us greatly. and than practice in which we all played every single song weve ever played ours and covers alike lol. me and jason went crazy at the beginning while waiting for ppl and did all our songs at like 10x the normal speed....that is so physically exhausting lol. than went off with jason, lati, and misha. i had to drop off some stuff at jasons and misha was hanging out with lati so the two of us decided that it would suck to be a third wheel alone lol. so we chatted for a long time, shes a really a cool person, theres a lot more to her than meets the eyes. than came home and talked to zoe, since she had her assignment i tried to stay online as long as i could but eventually got kicked off. and that was my day.
ps. i really should spend some time with my cat....she's not in the greatest condition....:( |

I'm so fucking happy!...get this, i actually said one of my old favourite quotes "look, whats done is done, so lets let bygones be bygones and let the good times roll on"...when i said that i was like...."im turning optimist again! fucking sweet!" ....so ya! fucking insane! see im going to break down some stuff since ive FINALLY come to terms with it. okay for the record if ppl didnt already know ive been kind of on and off depressed since november, but like majorly depressed (not like emo, no like actually near suicidal), it wasnt fun. however ive gotten past that. i dont know how many ppl either knew or noticed my changes, becuz as i remember it i was one of the most optimistic ppl ive ever met and that used to make me so happy, and when i finally noticed how depressed i was, i tried to become undepressed and be that happy person, bad idea. cuz than see, i tried to be someone else when really it was me all along, just happy. and id really like to thank everyone for being here for me cuz i really didnt notice in the past while and im sorry. i honestly got so used to being depressed and comfortable with it i started creating reasons to be depressed that either didnt exist or really werent all that bad. now im not saying that now im JUST gonna be happy cuz i was never JUST happy. cuz ya if someone shits on my clothes or some random shit like that lol ya im gonna be really fucking pissed, ill get by but ill be pissed off for that time, plus than its a funny scene lol. i dont feel like crying right now, instead im just sitting ... smiling and its great.
so ya id like to do my list of good things and thank u's cuz .... i feel like it lol:
good things in a nutshell:
-band is great, has its lose screws, but those can so be screwed in, just with a little elbow grease
-i have wicked friends who i love and i hope love me, it doesnt matter cuz i still love them and its all about me! lol
-Im getting good at ddr, like today i made myself so happy by finishing paranoia on standard (my first time playing it and its a 7-step, im so proud! lol)
-I have a great family who loves me and is just so nice to me and does so much for me and i can only hope to pay them back
-And last but definatly not least, I have a girlfriend who i love and loves me, and i couldnt be happier!
thank u's and what not (look out for u cuz i know thats all u care about lol):

Jason- HOLY! stop the fucking press! its jason hoeg from futures fucking past! k honestly! i love this guy, i look to this guy so much. if theres ne one who is more committed to music, friends, family, girlfriend, and life than jason....its a lie!....cuz jason is my idol straight up! i love u.
Futures Past- Uve given me such great times and i look forward to so much more, i know theres loose screws but we'll get past it cuz we are futures fucking past! just guys seriously...let's stop the excuses and just fucking commit, its for us not neone else, its all for us, ppl work for us and all and its fucking amazing how great we have it, so for ourselves lets make the fucking best we can of it....no excuses! i love u guys to lol

I exposed my heart and soul last night while in tears on the phone, that was interesing...So ya i feel pretty alone right now, and hey dont think im being emo again, im just in a mood where no matter what ppl get on my nerves. now i know theyre all kidding about a lot of things and that theyre teasing me but when ur sensitive and everything is so fucked up u cant help but get hurt. i mean it doesnt take much these days and i feel like a big stupid emo, and im sure thats what everyone else thinks of me. and i know this is true since most ppl keeping telling me that im a big emo and it just makes me feel like "ok so im an emo, does that mean that my problems arent real". i just done have the energy for things nemore, and not only that but no matter what i do it never really turns out well. i get on everyones nerves and sure im allowed to make mistakes but i dont want to. i want to make ppl happy, especially when i see everyone in all their emoness and when i can figure out their problems for them but theyre just to wrapped up in feeling bad for themselves. hey i do it to, but a lot of ppl do it to get attention and thats ok too i really have no problems with things, i just get annoyed sometimes when ppl think that theyre special and that their problems just happen to them. unlike a lot of ppl i dont go "why does this happen to me, did they do that becuz of me, y am i so blah blah blah", i realized this while on some live journal accounts that were just so ugh. it was like "what is it about me that guys use me" or "why does everything always have to happen to me". now if they would step out of their bubble for just a second of their time they would notice that there is so much more pain and suffering in this world and that they arent as special as they thought they were. now ok so u feel that ur bf uses u, ya well in some countries u dont feel like ur being used, U KNOW UR BEING USED! i think ppl just dont get how lucky they r and how we are just so spoiled that we make problems for ourselves to feel special. now all my problems arent special i dont have it THAT bad, it could be worse so thats y im not complaining about my problems to u, especially cuz its for me to know and not to bore u with. well i feel like not asking for nething anymore, im going to let ppl ask things of me, cuz everytime i ask or make plans or anything it disappoints ppl, well im just gonna let myself be ppls tool. fuck me, who needs ME, im a selfish son of bitch who is just wait to opinionated for his own good. wow there goes my again twitching. so ya... im here if ppl really need me but i dont who or why...cuz the way ppl act these days im questioning whether they in fact like me and at the same time im realizing what an asshole i am. ya so im going to go on with my day... a crappy one at that, im have to be home RIGHT after skool with no seeing of neone and just gonna be alone for the rest of the day cuz well im not really in to going newhere today and nessa's got some friend shes seeing, who she wont tell me who but whatever i dont care nemore, like everything its none of my business, so if ne one would like to keep my emo ass company.... ill be at home....alone....and depressed...god someone shoot my stupid emo skinny white ass now. |

God last weekend was amazing!!! Just...YA!
Friday:
Futures Past was playing a gig at my skool, which was funny cuz it was in the library. Whats even crazier is that my first gig was in the library a year b4 that but with another band, so i decided to wear the same outfit i wore than. Well neways the morning was boring than at lunch i went to the library where nick was setting up the soundboard for the mics. well brentan was on the soundboard and knew jack shit about sound, so i readjusted all the settings so that danielle sounded really good :) (im just that good) lol. So ya than i stayed with nick until steve and jason got here with his amp and pieces of my kit, brought them in and than stranded jason here while i went to home for my breakables and to pick up ardas amp at his dads work. Talking to steve is fun, hes a cool guy with lots to tell. I get back and bring in my gear and than my director comes in about to go nuts on my ass and i said i got delayed in traffic and that i was coming to class. so i went to drama class and left jason and arda alone. Did my scene and it was really intense that time, like REALLY intense, my heart was beating. So than i got out of class at 3 and walked down to meet kyle and nessa! Kyle was looking cool and nessa of course as usual looked amazing! She seemed happier than usual tho...so i was a little curious, neways i had to run around and do stuff after a bit of cuddling and get settled. during the cuddling nessa said notice somethings gone, i looked and liams necklace was gone...im a little dense that day so it took me a few more times. I was talking to steve and ppl about the band and convincing ppl to stay or go to see us. Nessa did a tarot reading for arda and than came in with me cuz i wanted to see teacher band and she did my tarot reading, she was accurate (extremely) didnt tell me nething i didnt know tho. so than i quickly run to talk to the band all the way on the other side of the room and they're complaining about our time. Than i go back to the other side and nessa brings me over and shows me her reading, it said perfect relationship (one more time for it to sink in). Than i had to go in and play so we did the show ended up messing everything up for other ppl (grrr pissed me off), we did episodes, defiance, warped and twisted, and anthem of our dying day. Than we got off and i sat on the side and i felt really bad about the mess we caused so i was in a distraught mood. Kat kept wanting to show me her nipple piercings, wasnt really in the mood so i went back to being distraught. Than kat and nessa come up to me (they ran off for a bit) and kat says to me get up (seeing as i was lying on the floor) and she said "come on this will cheer u up, itll make ur month", i thought she was still talking about her nipples so i walk to the back with the two of them kat stays and nessa takes me back and says to me "so im single now" :|...i looked back at kat and nodded and just gobbled nessa up in my arms. I didn't want to let her go for the rest of the night...as a matter of fact i dont think i did. ya took her home and went home with kyle.
Saturday:
Eventually woke up with kyle bugging me as usual and got a shower and such and than called nessa and arranged meeting her later. After i did my chores me and kyle go off to meet arda at the station, nessa had still not called me back and i remembered her saying that she was going to long and mcquade so me and arda went there while kyle had a shower at home. Nessa wasnt there but me arda stayed there and we were going to meet kat there cuz she called. so ya eventually we meet up with kat and nessa and stay at long and mcquade until it closed, kyle went to drums, arda and kat stayed in guitars, and me and nessa went to the basses (ya thats right bass!)lol. Neways i had to go home and money for the party and kyle needed to pick up erika at dufferin mall. so nessa came with me and arda,kat and kyle went to pick erika up. ppl got pissed off cuz it took a while for me to scrounge the money out of my parents so we left late and than went to macdonalds for mcchicken (assholes). Than we arrived at the party didnt really move, nessa and i just sat together watching everyone else drunk off their asses, i also noticed how kat and arda were :O flirting. nessa, myself, erika, kyle and steve went back to his place although erika went home and we all slept there. I was talking with nessa when we got in (alone) and now we are officially going out :D thus my extreme happiness. Than i slept in her arms for the night. *bliss*
Sunday:
woke up eventually at 12:30 and didnt have to much of a hard time with waking up with nessa there to be with, of course getting up is another story. we went to get food at fiesta farms than came back and kyle cooked. steve was watching the peppers live dvd and so we watched that for a while but than finally got to as good as it gets :) such a good movie, another blissful time. than i had to be home and so did nessa. i couldnt walk her home cuz i was already late :( made me cry. than i got to meet the new kitty, although hes not exactly a small kitty (hes huge). hes a mix between a melasian and a tabbi, so cool. we decided on the name Chiotchat (chiot for short) cuz he reminded us of a puppy (chiot is french for puppy) so ya hes cool, soon he'll be allowed to roam around the house...should be interesting watching the confrontations with the other cats.
Monday:
Went to skool, saw nessa cuz she didnt go to skool in the morning, than we went to timmy hos for lunch and than ate the bowl! ya fun times...she went to co-op and i went back to skool than i met her at the kathedral after skool, ran to home to get money for practice, introduced nessa to chiot and than went to practice. Practice was so good, it was crazy, we were tryin so much shit while playing the songs and haveing a lot of fun! i was so impressed lol. than i found out about the bad news from nessa at the station and so i stayed with her as long as i could and got her some mcchiken (whats another asshole). Than went home and checked in on nessa by phone than eventually i went to sleep and had a very restless sleep but woke up and felt more awake than ever than i got out of bed and i felt like crap.
Now i feel like crap and really need something to eat. I'm going to go to that sean thing that hes got going, he needs a drummer. id just take the rest of the day off but than my mom wouldnt let me go to the sean thing, also my director would go belistic...ya...well thats my story.

I got to remember to write these darn entries...but wait...why do i have to? hmmm... Okay thats enough of thinking (must remember to stop doing that)(i love this part in this song). So its been a while, quite a bit has happened. I went to simons party on tue. which was pretty fun. Nick, kyle, steve, will, andrew, and i walked all the way from steves there and ya thats right erica im not going to include u cuz u wussed out and went on the subway b4 we got there! haha :P So once we got there we came in were all like, "look at us were cool and fashionably late" (really we just looked stupid but u know what FUCK U...i dont need to take this raz). Everyone decided to go play stoner tag and so i felt kinda all alone after a while and checked the park but they were gone so i came back and started playing some wholesome good and fun solitaire on the comp. Than sarah came and bugged me by giving me all these tips lol. So than we decided to play some real cards cuz the comp. was hurting my head, so will, sarah, and myself sat down to cards and played a wholesome game of crazy 8's....i got my ass kicked and sarah says i deserve for giving her a queen of spades. So than we played memory...got my butt kicked again, and than go fish which nick joined in for...i got my ass kicked again...god! that was so depressing!... neways we all went home to steves and slept than i left in the morning to get a good day of relaxation b4 my show the next day.
ok so show! woo! Kathedral! i am psyched...and tired... so i get up get a shower grab my things and run to long&mcquade to rent crashes again like last time except this time i couldnt find the ones i wanted, which kinda pissed me off (kinda isnt the right word, really is) so i just grabbed what seemed appropriate and headed out the door to rush to sound check. it took me no time to get there and annoying enough, i was the only one there and the door wasnt even open, i waited a good ten min. and than arda showed up but we still had to wait for steve to get us in. fortunately he was only 5 min. so than we went in and sat down and relaxed, than i had to set the drumkit up, which i can now do in like 10 min WOO! so than the sound set the mics we got up and did soundcheck than i threw the kit backstage and got ready to wait for the show to start. Than who should walk in the door but my best friend meghan! ahh meghan. yup so neways me, her and hilary went to second cup than on the way home i saw my mom eating on a restaurant patio so i go say hi and such than we pick up a sub on the way back to the kathedral. Than finally we get back and the matallica cover band is playing and im having my sub when suddenly nick attacks me from behind and im like ahhhh! and than were like hey and its like cool. so than i chill with all my groupies *ahem* ... friends: nick, kyle, carlos, simon, steve, natalie, erica, sarah, andrew, will, anne, aggie and of course meghan and hilary. so we watch the next bands and were all hanging out and it was so wicked and than...were on!
i go on and drag my kit from backstage and setup, and of course u know that only takes 10, so im all pumped and ready...ricky and garth rnt there yet. so we waitedlike another10 min and than when they got there we got ready and did something i hadnt expected and found to be a beautiful moment we put our hands together and cheered for a good show, i realized that this is my calling, this is my band, this is where im supposed to be. so we go on stage and put on a kick ass show opening with defiance and rocking with such energy i almost didnt recognize the band and it was bliss. i did something ive been wanting to do, look at ppl in the audience and joke with them, kyle remembers me doing that aswell as other ppl might. all in all it was the best show of my life...so far... whats crazy is a lot of the new fans r coming not only becuz they hear its a good band, they now come cuz they hear the drummer is wicked which is an amazing feeling, i feel like a god and yet i feel as human as ever, its bizarre, its great. to top the cherry we thrased the stage and caused a nirvana scene, im sure the kathedral will remember us by that.
so than we had a get together at steves and sarah decided to try brading my hair... they all fell out but i wanted to still try it.
the next day was kyles birthday and i went to his party and that was a good party (im not even gonna try to pick out the ppl that were there). half my hair was braded and ive decided im doing the whole thing but more permanently with elastics and such. will got extra drunk (poor guy), jonathan also got drunk but he wasnt quite as drunk (well...didnt seem so), nick thinks he saw his keys laying around, im tired and now im going to leave and right now im at steves after indian with my family :D tomorrows the big "slumber" party haha should be fun, see u guys tomorrow.
ps. happy birthday once again kyle and yes to u to aggie.
now i go quick, like cheddar cheese. |

WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had MY first gig with Futures Past and damn it was a kick ass show. Well my really long day started with getting up at 9 this morning and going with the manager (Steve) to go pick up mon bateries (drums). That was done in no time and so i went to go do the cat stuff, so i did that all and the funniest thing is champs was nowhere to be found. So i looked around and started checking rooms and i looked in one and there was some guy sleeping....i assume it was someone aggie knows.... Neways so than i went home for a bit and grabbed a few bits of equipment i had forgot. Than I went to Long & McQuade with my momma to go rent two crashes cuz mine are shit. We went through the biggest hassle with contract stuff which can really be a bitch and the funniest part is that it was all over an $8 rental lol. Neways the two crashes i picked turned out to be fantastic and im considering buying them.
So than i headed to yonge and dundas to meet jason and arda to hand out flyers. Of course the funniest part was that i was carrying my stool around so i would just sit in it whenever i had the chance. We stood around giving out flyers for a bit (life of a rock star o ya! lol) and than we decided to go in to the arcade and check out the drum version of ddr. Ok that thing is retarded, i am never playing it again. So we travelled to the danforth for more ticket handing outage. On the subway there was this funny women who we started talking to who said she was new to the city and that she doesnt know much about it. We asked her where she lived and she said "fucking far" which sounds pretty far. We told her the gig was around broadview and dundas and she was like "hold one sec lemme look at my map" so she pulls out this huge map! Neways i also saw filipe on the subway which was really random and funny.
We met jasons boss at the iga who i saw later at the show, i dont care what ne one says that boss is cool. We finally went to jasons house and hung around watching old shows of fp that were quite humourous to say the least. Than we had to head down to the bar for soundcheck and setup, i dont think my drums have ever sounded better WOO! Than we went back to jasons to have dinner and played the evilest game known as Wario ware inc. (I fucking hate that game). Than we headed back down to the bar to rock the house.
We were playing this little schtick on everybody claiming that i didnt know a single thing i was gonna be doing and that i dont even know how to play drums (that was funny). Than we went on.
We fucking blew the house down, litterally i mean with two huge stacks and the killer crashes lol. We played the first six songs:
1. Silent Scream
2. Trenches
3. Standing in the Rain - Billy Talent
4. Acidic Rain
5. Warped and Twisted
6 Part of Me
Than the real fun came; Arda and jason did their little guitar duet which was nice, i tried to pay as much attention as i could since i was thinking what the hell i was gonna do for a drum solo. Neways i just played my heart out and well the audience loved it and than jason popped in to do a solo off (hed play and id respond) which was really cool! Than we started the curse which me and jason did alone cuz the rest of the band didnt want to do it, it wasnt bad i just keep forgetting the rhythm at the end, its really weird.
Than after an acoustic song we came back and played:
9. Divide and Conquer - Story of the Year
10.Defiance
11.Angel Remains (my favourite)
And than the audience cheered for an encore LOL we didnt have one ready and so were like shit what can we play and the audience is asking for episodes so the guys ask me if i know the song since we never played it together (i hadnt even played it) so i say that ive listened to it so ill do my best. We end up nailing the song LMAO!
Well afterwards i walked around the club a bit and everyone I MEAN EVERYONE came up to give me props. Everyone said i was better than Dan, they said that i was incredible, the funny part is i think i screwed up here and there. But hey im not the one whos going out to see me so WOO! I just cant wait till thursday which reminds me that some ppl need to still ask me about that cuz i got more tickets to sell and those that have one reserved need to pay me. Ya so everybody who wants to come (kathedral, thur the 12, $10, 5 bands, in paticular FUTURES PAST) talk to me and ya talk to me.
Alright well thats it, ill have more soon to write, so just so u know justin if i had that much to write believe me i would (but thx for the advice).
ps. Dont forget kyle i need to bring u back up to speed with the treaty of versailles. |

Besides that the day has had very little happen, my dad and i checked set me free (the bike shop around the corner) but nothing really interested me so i guess ill remain bikeless. i cant really say ne thing else except that im still dazed and its pissing me off...maybe i need more sleep...nah.

Ugh well nick and kyle are leaving with aggy to the "cottage", so for the next week i'll be with out them *tear* lol. So my schedule goes as such: monday-get phone call from maddie, band practice / tuesday: hopefully do something with maddie otherwise nothing / wednesday: band practice / thursday: :O i dont know! / friday: my first gig with futures past at the oasis! and than the weekend is uncharted.
Well neways its time for some scandalous details of the past little while. Two parties in a row o ya! thats right im a rock goddess! One at maddies place which concluded with a really nice walk home across the tracks, its amazing what can happen early in the morning. We were walking across the tracks and saw a macdonalds just over by the corner on dupont and dufferin and so being as hungry as i was i just ignored the fact my family has a history of heart disease and the fact that we still had lots of walking to do. so andrew (thorndyke) and i walked over to the macdonalds leaving kyle and nick together... neways we got to the macdonalds and would u believe it! they were closed...however their drive-thru was not so me and andrew got in line and just hoped that macdonalds wouldnt support owning a vehicle and give some nice little hungry starving kids...they didnt. so back we went on our trip on the tracks and u know i realized that kyle and i have gotten know each other 10 times better than ever before (thats crazy!). so we kept walking and it was really funny cuz a train was coming and we all got in the bush like ur supposed to, except nick who just kept walking. well the train heppened to stop lol and just stayed there, than nick got in the bushes neways we got away from that and got a bite to eat at IGA and established that kyles gonna be gone from aggys and nicks gonna be all alone again and that my dad makes kick ass pancakes.
Well the second party (at aggys) ended even better (in my opinion). I stayed overnight and so did maddie :O well since we were cuddling (in order to keep warm) earlier we kept cuddling till we fell asleep. It was definatly very interesting in the way that it was uncomfortable yet comfortable. The couch was a little small (and by a little i mean well small) and so therefore there wasnt much room but it was definatly comfy to be cuddling with maddie.
Today however i woke up stiff as a board and as the day progressed and i got hungrier and hungrier i got grouchier and grouchier. But once i had a good nice meal i got better, but for some reason i still felt really dazed (probly the humidity).
So now i go to bed and hope sleep well becuz i got to get up and run my ass over to aggys to pick up some stuff before they disappear from the authorities...i MEAN... go to the "cottage".... |
