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...

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.

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?

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.

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.
