We had our show at Toys last night. It was good, not many people came. Billy and I saw some "cool cats" walking down his street while we were loading up of shit while we were singing music from Lucky Stiff. On the way to the show we were belting out some Rise Against, and then we went to Cane's. The guitarist from Meet the Great Concealer told me we were pretty good. I didn't get to see much of their set because I went to Pete's with Callie, Sara, and Donna, and Billy brought Mariya in his truck. Donna is a crazy dancer. Callie was like, I guess you would say flirting with some random Mexican guy in a truck on the side of us. It was so funny before the show though, Trevor was jumping on Jullian and riding around, it was hysterical. Then he and Kevin got in the back of Billy's truck and were mooning us, and he took off. Next weekend we have a show with Paris in Peril and POABD at Toys on February 5th, and perhaps people will go to that one, but its doubtful that they will stay for us, even though we go all out balls to the wall (and other cliched rock expressions). I mean Trevor really gets into it. He knocked his mic stand down with his bass. Today I woke up and had to go to that Math competition thing because my sister volunteered me. The best part was seeing the Notre Dame Mathletes with their shirts that had "Pi" on the back of it. |

We also received some hate-mail on myspace. Only one was actually hate-mail, the others were from a kid we go to school wit that likes the band. The actual hate-mail we received was from a man named "Jimmy" who is an Oriental Man who thinks he is black. I only have one thing to say to that "Wigga please." Lets read his email shall we?

Hello, after being on hiatus for quite sometime I am updating this journal. We had mid-terms a while back and I made 100 on English, a 98 on Civics, and a 94 on French. I do not know the rest of the grades. Christmas rolled around and I received numerous DVD's that are enjoyable. RUSH in Rio, The Back to the Future Trilogy, and the 5th season of the Simpsons. I also received Jimmy Eat World "Clarity," and Rise Against "Revolutions Per Minute." I also got a gift card to Best Buy and purchased Thursday "Full Collapse" and Jimmy Eat World "Believe in What you want," which is a live DVD of them. Dutch Oven seems to be on hiatus, and my use of the word hiatus shall be on hiatus also. |

Tonight is the football game, but I am not going, I would much rather stay home. Tomorrow is a practice. I am excited because I have a new song that I really like and I am looking forward to working on. School today was pretty good. I have a B in Algebra II, a B in English, an A in French and an A in Civics. I had the B in English because that Lord of the Flies test was messed up. I am very pumped about the B in Algebra though it won't last long. Today in theology we did this thing where you write your name on a sheet of paper and then you pass it around and people write good things about you. 'Twas so heart-warming. One more week of school and then we are off for a week, but before we are off my band has a show at Main Street on the 19th of November. |

This Friday we have a pep rally and then a football game. Trevor is not going because he is going to the STM game. I doubt Will will go because well thats not his forte (hah Will Forte). My band has a show this Saturday at Toys (September 4th). I don't know that I want to play it; few people seem to like my band as it is and at Toys we have had our worst response. |

| Show at Toys |
[Aug. 22nd, 2004|10:34 am] |

Last night we played at Toys. It was pretty fun, although I am partial to Main Street. Each one has its advantages. We played first because they told us to. Dustin was mad, but they did tell us to play first. We had not practiced so we were kind of out of it. There were other problems, such as, not being in tune and other stuff that I can't remember. It was fun though, and that is really all that matters. BNI hit the stage...wow, and Jeff took off his shirt and it was funny. I must say they were better than last time I saw them, so that is good. After BNI a band called "An Army of Blue and Blackers" played, which was 2/3 of Stands for Nothing, who was supposed to play, but things don't always work out.
I found out last night that we are supposed to play at a C.D. release for Article 11 in Kaplan. I believe that is on the 18th of September, and that should be cool.
Thanks to everyone that came out to see us, and to everyone that came out just to support the scene in general.
Our next gig is September 3rd (Friday) at Cite des Arts. I am looking forward to that, it should be fun. Sadly that is the day of TCH's first football game and I was looking forward to that. Also that means some of the people that usually frequent our gigs won't make it.
Comment if you were at Toys and what not. |

We ended up waiting until 9 to start playing because there was only one other band besides us. We played our set, and we played "Aftermath," even though we had cut it, and we played the new one at the end. Thanks to all the people that came: Mary Megan Jennifer Kathryn Lauren Micah (Trevor's cousin that didn't know anyone) D.J. Greg Boyd Austin and Sam (from No Such Thing) Jullian Dustin, Camille and Stacy (representing the Senior class) and Aaron, our producer? and manager? also from Article 11
Comment if you were at the show and had fun or didn't go, or anything about that show. This Saturday (the 21st) we play at Toys with Batteries Not Included and Stands for Nothing. |

Orientation sucked ass just like every other year, and I am sure the school year will also. Its not that I don't like talking to my friends even though I have no class with Will and only 2 with Trevor, its just I don't feel there is much more I need to learn and if those damn idiots didn't understand homonyms in the 6th grade they won't now. I mean come on you jack off, learn how to get "too, to, and two" right. Maybe if you weren't such a friggin' idiot obcessed with things that don't matter... --------------------------- I am rather excited about the arrival of new kids, such as "Blue" and Greg. They are both pretty funny, but sadly I don't have any classes with them either. --------------------------- Today I went go eat at Don's Seafood, thats not the one Downtown. It was rather good. ---- I am pretty excited about the gig at Main Street tonight. We have a new song that I really like. Its like our newer stuff except heavier, its really good, and I feel that people who do hate us could perhaps like it if they gave it a chance, but I don't care much about that anyway. -------------------------- Even though I hardly know Brad I feel that you should go see Paris in Peril at Oppelousas Little Theater on August 28. If I know you take me because I want to go also. You people need to go because whenever its a band's first show its really cool when people are there. (if I was a 'tard like you I would have said "their") -------------------------- Well bye all, leave me some comments to give me the strength to update. Bye |

I gave Trevor the tape of when we were young...I think I prefer Death Cab for Cutie to Postal Service. I like Jack Johnson, its very mellow.

School is coming up. Yippee! By the way I am kidding, school is ...ughh. I could bet that 1/2 the kids at my school have dead end jobs and kids out of wed lock. Don't forget the 5 foot long criminal record. Band practice when Billly gets back. I'm kind of working on a song. I had had writers block, but now writing is starting to come back. Trevor said he has been writing a song. I hope its good, but then again I can only hope (he he he). Funny thing happened, I found the tape of Trevor and I playing "Brainstew" in the woods and it appears that we are five. Its so funny. Trevor acted then just like he does now. Will is on vacation in Gulf Shores, but he said when he gets back, band practice time bitch! ARGHH, I am in all the Honors classes one can be in as a sophomore, and that sucks really bad.
The lame jokes I will have to endure. Wow, I was just thinking of my jokes, but there are some really not funny people in Honors classes.

"Nothing to do today..Going to Mainstreet on Friday to make fun of Dutch Oven and Toys on Saturday hopefully. It's so boring around here :X""
I feel sympathy for this stranger because if your so bored that you have to make fun of my crappy band you might as well slit your own throat because your life sucks. :-)
then Fazzio, whom I do know responded:
"mmmm dutch oven....this should be funny""
It should be funny, but its more like gay little boys running around on a stage 4 feet by 3 feet

Its been a while since I've updated. I think that Gordon is gone and I don't know where he went.
Let me just say "Billy is so hot... (cue the vomit sound FX). I don't appreciate that you have become so Narcissistic and said that the band sucks. :-( Don't forget that we have gigs and when you don't know the song it makes us hate you... But whenever you "buy the fastest car Detroit makes" and get in a wreck causing you to lose your arms we will see whose "pouring sugar on who." (That whole sentence was a reference to Def Leppard.)
Trevor, sweet Trevor..you didn't become conceited...
People all 'round you got to come get it...thats right I quote Aaron Carter, got a problem bitch?

| I got a new amp |
[Jul. 25th, 2004|08:56 am] |
I got my new amp. Its a Mesa/Boogie F-50 combo, and it is really awesome. On another note I now have a pet snake named Gordon that we just found yesterday. Well he isn't really my pet, but we can see him through the glass part of the chimney, so it works for me. I also took out the journal entry of when I was mad, but I think I am OK now. |

| Its not easy being poor :-( |
[Jul. 23rd, 2004|01:46 pm] |
Will and Trevor both insist that I get a new amp and quit bumming off of other people, but I am poor, so I really can't do anything. Ironically, I try to save my parents money by not buying new shoes for next year because I have some perfectly good Converse, but since Will drew two stars on them my mom deemed them unaccectable to wear to school...so they insist I buy new shoes.
If you see the error of my parents ways comment, or if you agree, comment, then prepare to die because you are an idiot. |
