My Secrets End Up on Oil Canvases

So I left for New Jersey on the 23rd. My dad and I left from the Ville around 4:5oam ish. The drive wasn't that bad, and driving through Philadelphia was pretty cool. We ended up stopping at Key Port fishery, a restaurant my family went to while I grew up there. I was alittle surprised that you can't feed the seagulls there any more. We went from there to The Bennettes' house in Hazlet. I got to see my cousin Tommy and see how he's been. He works at Dominoes now. After stopping there we stopped at my Great Uncle Eric's house in south Jersey. Finialy we got to my Grandma's house and we had pizza for din-din!

Christmas Eve
So the next day was Christmas eve. I went shopping and got a pair of bitchen' pants on sale. I'm excited cause I've gone down another pants size. The only bummer is I'm not really loosing weight for a certain person any more... so I kind of just starve my self and don't eat shit. Anywhay. On the eve, all my realatives where there. I ended up going around the block with Billy and having a lil something something. I played some guitar for the family and then drank the rest of the night. It was nice to see everyone. I was still sad and ended up getting alittle teary thinking about Bob (my grandfather like figure) and about how he died Dec. 23rd 2008. It was exactly a year and I couldn't take it the night before, but we all avoided the subject and wore a fake smile with teeth that cover up what's really on our minds.

Christmas
On Christmas I got a camera! Now when I go to shows and such I don't have to nab my mom's camera! Yay! Turns out that Santa doesn't come after you turn 18 in the Nelson family, so that was a bummer. I got a new wallet and a bottle opener as a gift, Connor gave me a Thermals shirt, Daniel gave me American Beauty on DVD, Phoebe gave me a shot glass made of Candy Cane (which I used last night on New Years :P )and the rest of my gifts consisted of money. Sat around on Christmas and then got drunk at dinner. Everyone had a glass of champagne and then I finished the rest of the bottle after din-din. So stumbled around this New Jersey development and thought about how life isn't so bad sometimes. I found the light pollution and sound of cars delightful in that suburban hell that is a state.

The Day after Christmas
The day after Christmas I visited my aunt Diane's house in Trenton. Greg, Rachel, and Becky where all happy to see me. I met Becky's new boy friend...I want to say Andrew but its...fuck. Um... Anthony! There we go. He's an alright guy. So Rach, Beck, and I all had a knitting party while listening to the family gib-gab. It was fun.

Rachel and I then went over to her boy friend's house, Sam's house, cause he was throwing a party. It was pretty fun. We played some music and just bullshit around for a few hours. It was a good time with my cousin surprisingly. We left the next morning.

December 27th Yo
So the day I got back, Daniel and I ended up chilling. Daniel had to go to work at 5pm, so the day wasn't too long. Daniel, Connor, Phoebe, Sam, and I all hung out and went adventuring in places in Crozet that not many people have gone to. It was exciting, even though it was cold.

Connor and I ended up coming back to my house and we made mashed potatoes and green beans while my dad grilled steaks. We played Halo II and I finally go to see Inglorious Bastards. By far one of the best works Quentin Tarantino has made. If you look up the word(s) "Bad-Ass" you'd see a picture of Quentin Tarantino holding a gun to the face of a monstrous beast with laser eyes, blowing out its brains.

December 28th: Lemuria
So on Monday, we went to Lemuria in Richmond. It was at Gallary 5, which is pretty sweet. the Line up went as such:

1)Hold Tight! 2)Field Day 3)Black Wine 4)Lemuria

It was really good. they got a new bass player which surprised me cause the bass player was awesome. I really really really want to play music with the girl from Lemuria. To be completely honest, I dream about her occasionally and I don't think its that normal to be this "star struck". Here are some videos I took!



Tuesday the 29th
On Tuesday I had Chris, Sage, Conor, Connor, and myself at my house. We're working on a song for Davis, cause he's a pretty cool guy. the album we're making I personally have no care for, but Chris is a good friend and I'm in it for him. Something exciting happened this day though.

After dropping off Sage and Conor at their house, Chris, Connor, and I stopped at got food then did something with Chris he hadn't done since 11th grade at the beginning of the year. Connor and I were enjoying him like this, I have to say he's really entertaining. I think he had fun.

Connor went home and Keenan came over. We played some Xbox, hung out for a bit. Then the three of us did it. It was a very cool bonding experience for all of us. I feel that the two of them weren't use to the adventuring. We played Halo, watched some Venture Bros. and went to bed.

December 30th
On Wednesday, I sat around through the day. Cleaned my room, did laundry, played some Xbox live, listened to music, ect. At the end of the day around 7pm, Lara calls and asks what I'm up to. Long story short, we end up Hookah-ing with Rebecca in western ridge off of 240. We hung out a fair amount of the night. After dropping of Rebecca, we got Connor. We went back to Lara's to hang out with Daniel and Mimi. We watched the most awesome documentary ever called "Crazy Love". After which, we went home.

New Post coming soon.

Last Night

I slept with my brown shirt and it smelt like her... it was the best sleep I've gotten in about six weeks.

We want a band that plays loud and hard Every-night

So the past few days have been quite bizarre, but I'm going to explain everything as simple as possible. Just so you won't have to read too much crap.

The Weekend started with my mom leaving on Friday before the snow storm. I went to work at DQ and we closed early. Around 8pm when I got off work I walked over to the Mudhouse and met up with Connor. My dad came to get us, but meanwhile there's 7 inches of snow and it continued. He ended up at my house for the night. We played some Xbox and we built a snow fort.

The next day the power went out in the morning. I talked to my dad and he let us smoke hookah in the living room. With my mom being in New Jersey, I was basically able to live like a king of sorts. So we hung out and smoked some hookah, walked up the road to watch cars on i64 but the snow was too high to get anywhere. Later that day my dad asked
Connor a certain question, and long story short...well lets just say my dad is a fungi. The three of us started to walk toward my dad's friends house but Connor left toward his house and walked home. My dad and I walked toward his friend's house and when we got there sat by the fire and shared a god father son experience. We left there and by the time we got home the electric was on. After about and hour and a half of having power, it went out again so we just went to bed early.

We woke up the next day and tried to leave the house. We were able to get out and get some food (since there was nothing in the house). We went out and on the way back my Dad's truck got stuck in the snow. A cute girl from my school ended up stopping with her family and asking if we needed help. As usual my dad was kinda rude, but we ended up getting out of it.

We got home, had steak, power came back on but still had no phone. Played alot of Fable II. Worked tonight. I ended up getting off early. I was supposed to go sledding with Lara, Daniel, Mimi, Juliana, and Daniel, but they kind of ditched that idea. I ended up having Sam spend the night and we both lost our minds. I recently realized that I don't love Ashley, I love who she use to be. I had hand-full of long meaningful conversations with Sam that night, and I don't see my purpose in living, but eventually I might do something with myself. Humans are creatures of habit, and when we break a habit we feel uncomfortable. In this, I lost someone that no longer exist due to the fact of change. This change broke a habit, which then made me depressed. Simple, yet deep.

Not much else going on. Started to watch more metalocalypse and always sunny. Glad I'm getting the time to waste again, but still, missing someone sucks.

Computer Love: An Ergs! Classic.

Not all to much has been going on with my life lately. Exams start today but I'm not going in till they start. There are 30 minute classes before the first exam starts so I decided to stay home and enjoy this time to myself.

last weekend
So Friday through Sunday over the weekend, I had to work each day. On Friday, Connor and I took our breaks together and enjoyed a chauf each with a cup of tea. It was a nice break. Sat in my car and listened to Math the Band's ; Weather(all good things in all good time).

Saturday night I hung out with Morgan and Corinne when I got off at 11:oopm and then hung out with me earlier that night when I was on break.

Sunday, Me, Corinne, and Morgan when to KFC. I love black people, and I love chicken, so this was fucking awesome! We then went shopping at Harris Teeter and Kroger. We dropped off Corinne, I went home and got the car for work. Went to work, went home, went to bed, ect.

monday
Yesterday consisted of me getting up and going to school, but I was super trashed when I got up. I had taken cold medicine at around 2:ooam since I couldn't sleep (again), but I only got 6hours of sleep, leaving me drowsy and disoriented. I got a gift from Ted, so I woke up a bit. I then had some coffee at tab and all was fine.

At lunch, Max Mayo, Cavan Farrell, Kevin C, Wyatt, Jacob Myers, and some other people visited Western. Chris almost came when he saw Max because it's the most obvious thing in the world that Chris has a man crush on Max. I was very excited to see all of them to be honest. I got to catch up with all of them and I'm super excited for "Max's winter time Hot Coco Stand". If he made money selling lemonade over summer, he figures that selling coco in winter is just as good... minus the freezing to death part. People drink Coco by a fire place, not an icey road with cars driving at top speeds of an astounding 25mph!

After school, I got my sister from her school. She tried out for a part in the school play, Hoot. She only tried out for a small part, but I was nice and I bought her a blizzard on the way home for playing an active part in the arts. I came home, waited around got Morgan and Sam and we headed to town so I could go Christmas shopping. My sister is getting a Wii, so
my parents sent me out with $50.oo to get some Wii games. We went to BigLots! Which in all honesty is the most ridiculous store ever. They have way too much shit. It's basically like Dollar General and Walmart had an illegitimate love child and the world wasn't told about this scandalous affair. I got my sister Cooking Mama (which I secretly want to play :D ) and Adventure Shrek for the Nintendo Wii. We went to the mall, didn't get much there, stopped and saw Lara. Allie no longer works at Dip-N-Dots... So I am alil disappointed, but that's a story for another day.

to-z-day
Going to get some shit done around the house and going to edit an english paper. I have to take my Government exam today, but that shit is SO EASY that I honestly do not have to worry about it. If anything the only Exam I am worried about it Computer Science, Java script rapes me profuriously pounding pieces of packed knowledge, raping my skull and destroying my brain. Yeah, Java is a bitch.

Tonight I have to get some more things for people, but I'm making money this time. Wa-wa-word.

"Nuke the Frats"

Indeed.

Last Night
Last night Morgan and I hung out with Connor. After a while Connor had to go home. I didn't find out until today that apparently his boss had changed his schedule at work, and he was supposed to work last night and ended up being and hour and a half late, almost costing him his job. (continuing with my night)Morgan and I picked up Sam then we headed for The Ville.

We got into town and Morgan had to go to her Doctor's appointment across from Fashion Square Mall (for her Psychiatrist). She dropped off Sam and I at the mall leaving us to our adventure. The first thing that happened is a Chick Fil-a cow pointed at us and waved, it was the scariest thing ever. We sat in the mall and enjoyed being Mallrats. Ate some Dip-N-Dots and left with Morgan. She yelled the whole ride home. The End

Tonight
Tonight I will be hanging out with Sam and Wyatt. We are going to see RHYTHM BANDIT at the tea bazaar. (I'm leaving now to do that and saving this as a draft)Well Dylan's show was pretty sweet. Ran into Daniel Berti, Mimi, and Juliana. I gotta say, Mimi and Juliana are both very pretty and it makes me a little nervous to be around them. Anyway, the show was good. Something different. It sounded like he was building up to something every song, but then it would end. It was like a roller coaster with out the free falling feeling you get as soon as it gets to the top and starts to go down. I feel that in all sincerity it could have been better, but was still very good. He used one floor tom, a repeat-er pedal, some synth effects, and a 4 piece electronic drum set. Did some pretty interesting things with the loop pedal and the drum effects. The feedback was alittle much, but it was clean and well cut for an electronic sound. Think of it as Ratatat minus guitars, some math rock (also minus guitars), and sick nasty beats. The name Rhythm Bandit suits it pretty well though, I gotta say.

Before the show Sam and I stopped at the Mall cause I went to see Allie >w<. We walked in at the Sear entrance so it took a while to get down to Dip-N-Dots, but when we got there I surprised her wif a big hug. I'm glad we stopped to see her. First of all I'd been saying I'd visit her at work for a while now, and turns out when we got to the Tea Bazaar at 8:15ish (show time on facebook said 8:oopm) Dylan was still setting up. So I got to see Allie and apparently Lara saw Sam and I again tonight. As I stated earlier, we went to the mall last night while she was working. Not only does she work at Anna's Pizza now but she works at GNC in the mall where Daniel Berti use to/ occasionally still does work. But yeah, got some Christmas shopping in along with a few huggies from Allie to make my day better.

As for now I'm going to bed. I hope this video will fucking process faster so when I post this it'll be up...

I'm wide awake, It's morning.

Yeah, I'll tell everyone about my birthday adventures soon enough. As for now I feel like saying three things. One: The past few weeks have sucked only after trying to go to bed, because having the same reoccurring dream where your ex-girlfriend says "I love you" and you wake up and your pillow is all wet from tears... not so great. Two: my leg cramped cause I went running yesterday so I woke up early, still alittle tired. Three: I don't want to go back to work tonight. It's been 3 weeks I haven't had to work, and I've loved it.
