Acoustic MEMO

Heres a little demo I put together in my free time, its not that bed check it out!

DUH-DUH-DOUBLE POST!

This ones way better as well--a little while ago while bingeing on (legally obtained) Sega Dreamcast games, I had the opportunity to witness some HXC PCB jamming. Unbeknownst to them I managed to preserve the awesomeness and put it on the internet for all of you, enjoy.

I named all the tracks myself off of the impression they gave me, you're welcome to rename them as you see fit--also heres an album cover I whipped up.

Fuck it, change in direction.

I'm gonna do some stuff a little differently now, since I have a webcam on my laptop at my disposal and little else. Things have been good, cold weather anxiety sucks, other than that though good. Got a lot to look forward too, for now heres this...

Relaxing a bit, before education season.

Found all of my legos, this guy was still intact.

My super clever and witty halloween costume, next year I'll be college know-it-all-ism.

An average lunch in the life of a LCCC scholar, hey its brain food.

Send Packing

Holy shit, au revoir childhood. So Monday is first day of college, and the first day of the rest of my life. To be honest this scares the shit out of me. The only goal I've ever had in life is to try to be happy by doing what I always do, now I know there is something more to go for, but what. I've had an amazing girlfriend for the past two months, whom I partially blame not updating this here blog on. There will no doubt be some strain on our relationship from my 12 hour school days 4 days a week, but I refuse to not make it work. My band just keeps getting better so I have no complaints there just excitement. All in all my life is looking pretty great I just need to keep up with it and make sure I don't miss it. Anyway its a sad day, but I'm optimistic because life is a beautiful thing like that, my guesses are always wrong.

Strawberry Fields Forever

Wow, life can be surprising sometimes, I honestly don't even know where to begin. I have an amazing girlfriend, and I'm sure I'll look back on this post callously one day just cause I wrote that, regardless shes sick. I'm going to LCCC next year, oh boy, but atleast I don't have to pay for school. Musically I'm just trying to express this everything thats bottled up inside me, not an easy task in the least, but I have some great people to do it with still. The Manhattan Project is starting to go a new direction, but I'm really glad with it. Not a whole lot more I can say, just continue hurdling on through this bliss that I'm sure I'll remember forever, as a great summer. And now...

Heres to Life

So things are pretty great right now, see how it goes I guess. I feel bad that I'm this happy and some people are still climbing up the shit pile. In other news I'm offically a graduate of the Emmaus High School, how cool. Summers on its way, exciting, theres alot of other shit I could sit here and type about, but for now I'm just gonna keeping moving. Peace out.

Dinner at Eight in the Suburbs

I often times am really stoked on things that go on in my life, I do have the occasional feeling of inadequacy. I finally realize I need something substantial in my life. Now I just have to figure out what that is and how to achieve it. Not to mention the whole reminiscence of this time of the year, I will never step foot in a high school class again. I'm still not sure how that feels, but I am, atleast grateful for making it this far unscathed. In other news I'm having band practice at chris palmer's house on saturday, tryin out some second guitar-ing I suppose, we'll see how that goes. Note to self, do cooler things with your life and quit doing nothing.

This Place is a Prision

So my mom is going nuts. Idk what it is about this time of a teenagers life that makes it fall into the stereotypes of parents vs children. I'm at the point where I just wish I had somewhere else to live, like I need out. On top of all this I was thinking about all the girls I let slip away, do to my own fuck ups, or just not being that cool I guess. I'm think I reall like someone right now and I don't want to fuck it up, I just hope the usual shit thats out of my hands doesn't become the reason another possible relationship is ruined...

Fentloozer

Sick show on friday, crazy party last night, best weekend so far. More Manhattan Project shows to come, I'll keep it updated but for now.




















Go to this show it'll be a fun time also helps out some sick charity!
Heres some picks from the show.


















































Dylan needs to stop wearing beaters...

Reckless Abandon

Ok so, today I got some guitar strings and strung up both my guitars for once. The problem is I really like the sound of the peavey, but I've used the fender custom for every show I've ever played. I don't know which one to pick, it'll be tough but find out by going to THE 6th ANNUAL WILLIAM ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL BATTLE OF THE BANDS!































Which one is cooler?

The Rock Show

Practice was sick, everything is pretty tight. Can't wait for friday everybody go if you can, also fuck the cops, punks, and vikings, they can eat my shit. I made a neat stencil today so here check it out. That is all.

Waggy

Well this weekend was pretty neat, prom was sorta what I expected and afterball was alot of fun. The show on friday was great, I may have had more fun there actually, but thats how life works out sometimes. I sorta wish my date would've been someone who I could've had a sitcom-esque night with and cuddled with lol, but once again how life works out you know? For now it looks like I'm really just waiting for the next big step in my life, I have no clue what that is, but I'm anticipating it. I still got music going for me, actually thats about it at this exact moment. I have pratice tomorrow and I feel more ready to play a show than I ever have. Thanks to dylan and chase for being the best possible band mates I could ask for. Thats really all there is to say right now, heres to good friends.

I Miss You

This weekend is shaping up to be pretty fun, I have senior picnic tomorrow, then a show hopefully and some sort of after party at my house, then prom on saturday which could go either way at this point. I'm glad I'm pretty much done with all the little shit I had to take care of, I pray it all goes over smooth and that I graduate. Other than that I'm feeling pretty nostalgic, the school years basically over, 12 goddamn years of my life and here we are, the end. I have a ton of cool memories, from school and it'll be weird not being forced to go to it. I remember the time knocked my self out in third grade, and trying to reinvent myself all through middle school. I also regret alot of decisions I've made this far, but at the very least I can look back at it and not be that way now. I'm fairly happy with the person I've become, and I'm glad to not be the weird kid that noone likes now, those days seem like they just happened. Damn life is a pretty cool thing.

Rite of Spring

Ok so, anyone who's been following this blog knows by now that I use blink songs as the titles of my posts. Well today I decided to branch out since, this can't last forever, I'll probably stay around blink music since it appeals to me so much. The thing I have for blink is, it basically describes my life, and has a strong foothold in it. Change has been a big part of my life, whether I wanted it or not, but the one thing that has stayed a constant all these years is blink. They're music has helped me look up when I couldn't feel any worse, and helped me celebrate when my life couldn't get any better. So heres to you blink-182, I'm glad you're back, hope to see you this summer, and will love you Always.

Shut Up

End of the years but a few weeks away, so I pretty much have no idea what is going on. I feel like this day would never ever come, and here it is. Home life is sucking a dick tho, constant arguing and fighting with my mother, being cut off from music for the most part, and watching my future stumble towards me. Its hard not to cut myself off and remain apathetic to deal with the tremendous fear I have of my future. If my life this far, feels this alone, I'm very frightened of the future. It feels like my life up until this point was merely training and attaining skills to deal with this, but how do I apply this to real life? Who the fuck knows, it appears that this is nothing more than a clumsy ritual repeated by teens throughout history. Now its is my turn, this ought to be interesting. Just a thought.

Toast and Bananas

Order up...

Emo

So life truly is a rollercoaster, you never know how you'll feel next. I as well as many people my age are pretty experienced in taking shit and moving on. Life continues etc. So with all this free time, I really only have one thing to dedicate it to, music, I'll probably begin work on the second manhattan project demo, which will be here whenever its done. Schools almost over then I gotta deal with the (semi) real world, hopefully summer will be decent atleast.

Whats My Age Again

Interesting week, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with school, no longer any girl interests, band stuff remains. Just gotta finish school and then , I don't know, become a drifter. I seriously all of a sudden have all these doubts, what the fuck is my life about, what am I going to make out of it? I suppose only time will tell and there is nothing constructive I can say to you now.

Give Me One Good Reason

So not much today, had mad fun last night and I'm glad everyone showed up, I'll make sure to do this more often. Today I practiced with chase when we woke up, then he had to leave so I took a nap and then had practice with dylan at 3. I know I talk about my band to much but everythings starting to look pretty good and I'm mad excited for it. So um here are some pictures I took from today or whatever...

Cacophony

So I figured I'd show my guitar throughout the years and how its changed as a dedication to how much I love it.
















One of the first shows I ever played...
















One of the worst shows I've ever played
















The 1-up Kids <3
















QT
















Might not mean much to anyone else, but to me its pretty much Beautiful, its like all my memories spilled out onto a shitty guitar. And yes that is a Hannah Montana sticker...

Lemmings

okkkkkkkkkkk, um slept all day, I feel mad shitty due to allergies and gay as flowers. Before sleeping all day tho I went to mas with andy, will, and rachel, it was pretty fun some creepy guy was checking me out the whole time. I'm looking forward to this weekend, should be a good combo of band stuff and hanging with friends. Right now I'm just working on songs so we can actually practice them all the way through at practice lol, so I'm gonna continue to work on that and I'll update later, peace out.

The Writing Process...

Degenerate

Not much today, played through the manhattan project's setlist for Allen battle of the bands, its gonna be sick just wait and see. Break was interesting, It went from super awesome to kinda boring to super awesome again. Chase is back from Switzerland I believe so we can practice again soon. School tomorrow, can't wait...

Voyeur

I'm at palmer's house, to witness a speakeasies practice. good times, anyway I made this last time I was here and I just found it now, enjoy.

Stockholm Syndrome

I'm really bad at algebra...

Simplifying
5r2 + -35r

Reorder the terms:
-35r + 5r2

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '5r'.
5r(-7 + r)

Final result:
5r(-7 + r)

this helps tho.

Also not a whole lot of funny pictures, hoping for good weather, good friends, and more of this.

Roller Coaster

So, today was pretty average, sleep, wake-up, school, come home, fall asleep...
Although I did manage to pick up the floor tom for my drumset, and figure out this EQ my dad gave me for a P.A. It works fantastic, I can't wait to get in there with Dylan and Chase and make beautiful music. Buying prom tickets thursday, if I manage to get them, I'll ask the person I'm thinking of going with next week probably. Don't got a whole lot more to report, so I'll post news when I have it.
peace.

Just About Done

Oh btw, forgot to include some of this stuff...







ToyXCore hard at work...





Some PCB throwin up the sick ass beats...

All in all a sick day, also good practice in the field of recording, it may be sketchy but its fun and it sounds cool, maybe I'll start doing this more often.

All Of This

K, so I recorded today's band practice, (without Dylan), for practice at recording and such, I'm gonna put it up just cause. Its Pretty Rough, I'll put it Up in song by song form, and as the whole thing in case you wanna hear us talking.

For those of you who want the whole deal, including me and chase talking, click this link...

If you want to just get right to the point, I cut up the practice into full songs, sorta, so here you go...

Also, we recorded the Playdohpus, ( myspace.com/playdohpus ), and Proto-Carbon Beats split yesterday. This will be available for purchase through flaccid records, for like $1.70. Just see tyler zosky, or contact flaccid at myspace.com/flaccidrecords

Does My Breath Smell?

Alright so, a few people specifically on my mind right now, aswell as prom stuff, I suppose I got that figured out atleast getting tickets lol. Tomorrow Dan Molloy and Cruz are coming over, that should be sick. Stoked on music, all of it, everyone's band, can't wait. The only thing that's really up in the air, I guess, is who I'm taking to prom, I got some ideas but, by no means an exact plan. One girl who I met recently and she seems pretty cool, and a girl I've known for a while. I guess only time will tell, in the mean time I'll leave you with a funny picture or two, and I'll let you know who being street musicians goes tomorrow sometime.








<3 you guys,
wish we'd hang out more...
