Yeah. I’m posting. Here I go. My day was all right. We opened the instillation in art today (which is a room based on an theme such as aliens, Atlantis, or an attic and you make art work that deals with that topic then you make the room and add props according to it) that we’ve been working on for that past 4 or 5 days (well the room that is, not the artwork itself). Yeppers. Keith, Cheryl, and I were the only ones who really worked on it. I think it turned out good for what it was and by the way our theme was an attic. I walked trough it with Mark and a few other people and Mark was putting it down. It kind of hurt because I spent the past few days on it trying to make it look nice and then he criticized it. It’s kool though. I don’t mind anymore. Absent is the greatest band ever. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I honestly can’t think of anything better then plying in a band with 5 really good friends just rocking out. I listened to our old c.d. and I enjoyed it highly. I can’t wait till we finish our new demo and get our promo pack out there. It’s going to rock hardcore. I was lying in bed Monday night I believe, and it came to me how precious life really is and how things go by so fast that it’s insane how much you miss until you sit down (or in my case) lie down and think of it all. I really love my friends and Mandy and I am thankful for all of you and everything that you have given me. You’re friendship is important to me and again I thank you all who are there for me.

I partied it up in Gainesville this weekend with Mandy, Will, Meghan, Alan, Drew, Frank, Lauren, and Juan. If I forgot anyone I’m sorry. Other people came and stopped by but who cares about that part. Mandy spent the night Friday b/c we were leaving early Saturday morning so that was kool. We woke up around 9 to get ready. Then we packed our stuff, ate some breakfast, and headed up to “the place”. When we arrived we hung out for a little then went to grab a bite to eat at Chilli’s. But not before stopping by wallfart and targay and not to mention Albertson’s for some liquor. Good times. We then went back to the apartment and sat around. Later that evening is when we partied. Like I said…good times. It was a blast. I became a little tipsy along with others. Mandy wasn’t feeling that well so she didn’t drink. I’m not going to go into great detail b/c most of you that read my blog were there and for those of you that weren’t I’m sorry. Tear*. I had the honor that night of sleeping next to Mandy in Alan’s bed and I want to say…Thank You Alan. I appreciate you giving up your comfort for us, your guests. We left today around 1:30 after we ate lunch at Friday’s. Interesting ride home is all I have to say and I’ll see you all later….what a shit entry…haha.

I just wanted to say that some of the things that I stated about Nikki are rather harsh and I do apologize. The only reason I say these things is because I care about you for the fact that you’re my girlfriend’s best friend. I understand if you don’t like me or hate me. I just feel as if you’re not giving yourself a chance with guys. I’m just aggravated because I read your posts and all you talk about is Jayme and how you love him and then that you are fighting with him and that you’re going to take a break and then you don’t see him for a day and get back together with him the next. I care about Nikki as a friend and I don’t want to see her get hurt. I know I’m going about it in a weird way but hey that’s me. Again I’d like to say I’m sorry and I hope I’m wrong about this kid being an ass and I pray that you don’t end up getting hurt.

I can’t stand retarded people…seriously. Mandy’s friend Nikki is retarded. She really pisses me off. She’s an overall nice girl but when it comes to guys she’s hopeless. I know she’ll end up reading this and hating me and whatever, honestly I don’t mind but I feel sorry for her for her lack of sense. Here’s the story. She’s going out with this Puerto Rican enough said. Just kidding. Hahe. I love you Frank. He’s a dick to her, like yells at her, obviously doesn’t trust her yet, says he does, flirts insanely with other girls and maybe guys, and she sits around and buys every little “I’m sorry, I love you. I’m really sorry” that he fukking throws at her. I can’t stand this. Probably for the reason that I went through it to some degree and now I look back at it (hopefully as she will end up doing the same) and going damn, was I a fukking retard or what. I’m finished talking shit because I don’t know the kid just from what I hear about him I dislike him strongly and I hope he goes away. No further comments about this in my blog.
Two more days of school then off to G-ville. I’m mad excited. I’m looking forward to spending the night and hanging out with all my homies again. And plus I get to sleep next to Mandy what a benefit. Just being in her presence is amazing let alone sleeping next to her. Whoooohaaaaa!
I went to universal and got tickets to see Evanescence today. I purchased 4 to be exact. One for Mandy, Mark, Nikki, and I. The show should rock hardcore. It’s insane to park at universal. They charged me $8 just to go to Hard Rock to buy tickets…what fuckasses.

My weekend was swell. I recorded for Absent, hung out with Mandy, watched The Two Towers and now I feel sick. The recording process Saturday was fun. I enjoyed myself. I woke around 10:30, ate breakfast and began recording. I took me a total of about 4 hours to track the drums. I laid 4 songs down but then could not get the last one. I was having difficulties playing my double-bass part. My left leg was acting retarded and I was quite furious. I took a break and went up to the mall with Will, Alan, Frank, and Juan to eat lunch at about 2 or 2:30. I devoured some pizza while the others had chicken and subs. We then came back to the house where I finally recorded the final song. It was a relief. Then Will went to record and became aggravated and only ended up getting one song completed. Frank recorded all but one song and Juan and Alan finished zero. We chilled that night and played some Halo. Later I picked up Mandy and she came back and watched a movie with the crew minus Alan who went home and stayed there for the evening. We watched the shittest movie ever entitled Wendigo. I must say it was rather horrible. Sunday was Easter and I went to Deltona. Good ole’ family fun with the exception of my dad and brother. That night I went over to Matt’s house for a BBQ. I was joined by Matt (of course) Brian, Josh, Mark, and Maudy. The food was good and we talked for a while…overall it was an enjoyable night. Today I watched TTT. Great frickin' movie. Mandy came over while I ate some tacos which seem to be bothering me for some reason right now and I pretty much don’t feel that well. That was my weekend in a nutshell pretty much. Yeppers. 4 days of school this week. Woooohoooooie!!!

I made Mandy upset and I apologize greatly. I feel bad….:’(

Time for a new entry. Well, it’s been a few days since PROM 2003 and I must still admit it was a blast. Anyway, tomorrow is Thursday and that last day of this week as far as school goes. It has been a pretty boring week thus far but rather busy during my out of school hours. I had two 3 minute oral reports to do on whatever I wanted and those were due today, which I turned in but I have not presented them as of yet. One of my topics is the Holocaust and the effect it had on people while the other is Nervousness and the effects it has on people. Hopefully I won’t have to go tomorrow and it will give me more prep time over the weekend. I’ve also been busy with artwork and recording for Absent. Lets go to the recording for Absent. It’s been a bitch. I went to record Monday but the mixer was broken. The left channel refused to work and it gave it a shitty sound plus someone must have busted the volume button because it was bent all the way to the left. I took that back Monday evening and exchanged it for a new one. Then Tuesday I had to adjust the levels. That was a pain it took me a total of about 4 to 5 hours. Juan came over and even helped me out. Then I finally recorded today. I tracked 3 songs but I believe I’m going to do 2 of them over for the fact that there is one sloppy part in one of the songs and in the other the volume is weird. It sounds pretty good but I have a feeling it’s not going to be up to someone’s standards. So for tomorrow I have to record 5 songs because I’m supposed to be finished by Friday with my tracking. Hopefully all will go well and I’ll have it done it no time. Later all…

Ah yes, PROM!!!!!!! It was so freaking FUN!!!!! YEAH, YEAH!!!!! And now here we go a step-by-step analysis of OVIEDO HIGH SCHOOL’S PROM 2003! The day started off well, I went out with my brother and then we came home and jammed for a little. Now the PROM action. I started to get ready, like I did my hair in rows and columns and it looked pretty bad…I spiked it you know and anywho I washed that out. Then I get a call from Brian telling me to be at David’s house at 5 instead of his house at 5:30 so this threw things off quite a bit. I then had to get a hold of Mandy but she was out getting her hair done. Then Mark called me and asked me to pick up his date Nikki b/c he had to work and if he was to pick her up there would be no way that he would make it in time for pictures. At this point I was about to explode b/c now not only did I have to be half an hour early to take pictures but I also had to pick his date up and mine before all of this. It was about 3:30 now and I was nowhere near ready. Then Mandy called me and said she had just arrived home and that she was about to eat and then do her make-up and then get ready. I told her about the fact that I had to pick Nikki up and she said well, I’ll just see if she can get a ride over here that way you don’t have to go to, too many different places. Then Mark called me and said that he would just go pick Nikki up and this made things easier. I ended picking up Mandy around 4:45 and then we headed over to David’s for pictures. That lasted for about 20 to 30 minutes. Then we (Mark, Mandy, Nikki, and I) made our way out to dinner. We drove in Mark’s mom’s Impala. Pure hottnes, it has a vet engine in it. We went out to eat at Sam Seltzer’s Steakhouse. The Food was amazing and everyone kept looking at Mark for the fact that he was wearing a kilt. Did I mention that already? If not he was and he was looking studly. The food was amazing and the prices weren’t that bad at all. I ordered a chicken and veggie skewer while Mark and Mandy both ordered steak and Nikki ordered a chicken ceasar salad. We then left for PROM 2003!!!! We arrived and it wasn’t that packed. Mark received many a compliment from people that he knew and didn’t even know existed. When I first stepped in the ballroom after receiving my ticket I thought WOW this is prom. Boooo. But after sometime, once I started talking with people that I hadn’t seen in a while and then with friends that I care about I realized that this is it. This is one of the last times I will ever see these people again and then I loved and greatly enjoyed the rest of the night. I didn’t really dance at first but then I got my groove thing on and didn’t want to stop. It was definitely one of the best times of my life. PROM 2003 lasted till 12 midnight. It was a blast. I took many pictures so if anyone wants to see them don’t worry you shall. The drive home was nice and then back at my place was fun. Mark and Nikki stayed a while and that was kool but then they headed for home around 2:15. The night was amazing and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I love life soooooooooooooo much and everyone who makes it all the more enjoyable.

No need to fear Brian the Duck is here. Things are better and yeah. I honestly have no clue why I got so upset. I’ve started recording the drums for Absent. I’m pissed though, I was trying to track this song and I was on like my 3rd or 4th time and I did it really well and I had the fan on so I have to do it over b/c there is a little bit of a buzzing. That’s life. I still have all this week and next so I’m not that worried. Prom is in 3 days. I’m excited but a little upset with the whole hotel room situation. I may just end up going home. I only put in $15 for the room b/c that’s all that I was told and asked to put in and I called a room with a bed for Mandy and I but then today Brian was all like “I have a room, David has a room and you get whatever the hell is left b/c I put in $40” and all this other shit…that my friends is gay. Werd to your mother.

How is everyone? I’ve been better. This entry is going to be angrier then usual so if you don’t like hearing me bitch I insist you stop now. Today was a decent day. It honestly was I’m just pissed off right now. I’m sick of people criticizing my future and what I want to do. I hate it when no one really supports me and it hurts when you’re friends make fun of what you want to do. I believe my parents don’t even want me to go to Full Sail. Just today my dad was saying I think you should go to a regular college that way you have something to fall back on. It’s as if I’m going to fail at what I’m doing and that’s what a lot of people think. I fukking hate it. The money is also a problem and I believe that’s the reason that everyone is on my case as well. It’s like “why are you going to have your parents waste that money on you brian; your parents don’t have that kind of money; what are you thinking?” ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can’t take this shit. Maybe I’ll just go to fukking SCC and do something that I DON’T WANT TO DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So everyone can be happy. FUK THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cough*. Well I’m still sick but there is a sign of me getting better, not much of a sign but there is hope. I am now on two antibiotics and it just so happens that I have or had 2 ear infections and bronchitis or something to that effect. I missed 4 days of school this past week due to my being sick and it blew hardcore ass. All I did was rest, watch movies and eat. I had no fun what so ever and am continuing to have no fun. I am going to school on Monday no matter what and that’s that. Enough about me being sick though…I was supposed to go to the beach tomorrow but that is now cancelled. Mandy, Will, Meghan, Juan and I were supposed to go but then Will called and said more people were going and he wouldn’t be able to drive us so we all decided not to go, instead Juan and Mandy are going to come over and watch movies. FUN! Right now I feel like poo. Wa ha. Enough crying Bitch! Prom is this coming Saturday. I have no idea who I’m riding with or if I’m driving or where we’re going to eat or anything of that sort. All I know of right now is that I’m going with Mandy and I love her. Hehehe. Lord of the Rings is the greatest friggin’ thing ever, greatest book, movie (well one of them), video game and all that good stuff. I’m on my LOTR high right now. Cough*. Sorry. I’m tired and I should sleep and I think I may but not right now. I smell as well and need to take a shower and I may but not right now either. Love is such a great thing. Whoooohaaaaaaaaa. My grandparents are over at my house right now. They are sleeping though. They leave tomorrow. It’s kool to see them again but I just feel weird because I have no clue what to say to them when we talk. I just forget everything that’s been going on and I’m dumbfounded. I could just type for hours but I am in need of sleep and it is getting late…I mean early. Don’t forget to put your clocks ahead an hour. Yeppers. I hate that crap. I love you all. Night’ and sweet dreams.

Day 2 of missing school. I still feel like absolute and utter poo. I honestly can’t wait to get better. You always look at life different while your sick and then again when you’re finally healed. Right now life blows, only for the reason that I’m sick. My stomach aches from hours of coughing and the only way to relieve myself from the pain is to sleep so that’s what I am off to do. Once I feel fine I’ll make a longer post. For all that wish me better, thanks.

Hey all. It’s Brian. I’m mad sick. I haven’t been feeling all that great the past few days and it has blown balls. I’ve been all weak and my eyes hurt along with my throat and ears plus I have a cough. I didn’t go to school today and I went to the doctor. It turns out that I have an ear infection in each ear and some crap in my chest. Boo. That’s what I have to say. More then likely I won’t be at school tomorrow for the fact that my parents don’t really want me to go if I don’t feel well. I can’t go to the gym, go jogging or play the drums and it sucks. I’m supposed to record for Absent but first I have to go buy this recording thing and I can’t even do that let alone record when I get it. Ahhhhh. Poo on that I say. I just wanted to check in for those who read and I will post again shortly.
