10:24 am	The seal hunt must stop! In the past 4 years, according to the Humane Society of the United States, over 1 million baby seals have been hunted for their furs. The Canadian seal hunt is a mass genocide of these innocent creatures and with your help, this cruelty can be put to an end! Do not choose to sit by and accept cruel and bullshit traditions such as this seal hunt! Stand to make a difference!

9:04 am	Welcome, Pope Benedict XVI... His views concerning gay rights, sex abuse by priests, ordination of women, and contraception are simply unacceptable, and it's hard to believe at this point in time, that a large portion of the population still chooses to swallow a lot of this garbage; especially considering this is all coming from a man who at age 14 (even if mandatory) was a member of Germany's "Hitler Youth", and by age 16 (even if drafted) was a member of the German Army. Many protesters will be involved in many different demonstrations and vigils over the course of Benedict XVI's visit this week, addressing many grievances (including his views listed above). According to the Monday, April 14, 2008 edition of the Post-Standard, the Vatican's envoy to the United States, Archbishop Pietro Sambi said: "'Even in the Catholic church, nobody has the right to instrumentalize the visit of the pope to serve their personal interests...' 'The problem is that there are too many people here who would like to be the pope... and who attribute to themselves a strong sense of their own infallibility." I found this particular response to be quite interesting. His attempts to (until recently) keep clergy sex abuse scandals concealed, I feel, is not only wrong, it's criminal. My problem is not religion in this case, my problem is organized criminal activity and bigotry fronted by a seemingly self-righteous (once again, even if drafted) ex-Nazi, being underminded due to the stigma of this criminal activity and bigotry involving the RCC. I'm sure it will be interesting to hear what the pope has to say at the U.N. Friday. Current Music: Set to Explode (Comment on this)

10:33 am	Live/Survive... You Are All Living to Die... Think about the things you say and do. Think how they affect yourself, and your personal health, and then take time to recognize that this life is hell to more than just yourself (and there are others who have a much better picture painted of what a "hell", of sorts, can be. Especially when in regards to your mediocre, mild, temporary, teenage angst and depression. Believe me, everyone gets lonely). Don't bury yourself in your thoughts. Reject force-fed ideas. Ignore cycles... grow, college, family, career, work, work, work, die... perfection. Perfection in who's eyes? Your life is your own. Take a less destructive path, take control. Am I happy? Am I depressed? I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't care... these aren't my ideas. Contemplative is all. Every step you take should be in your own direction, insted of another step towards the drowning pool. "Past depressed. Struggling to crack one of those smiles you always hear about on television." - EYEHATEGOD Just food for thought I guess, or maybe more nonsenseable rambling...

8:58 pm	The doctor's won't come near you, because you're under quarantine... You know, today I was in an alright mood, and I didn't really do anything. I read a little more of Choke, listened to Career Suicide, watched a couple episodes of Tales from the Crypt, and hoped on my board and just went ridin around. I started writing more songs for my band, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Things have been going pretty well, we've only officially practiced once and we have one song complete and we're working on a second. Also, I think we've finally settled on a name, which is Social Collapse. I'm not gonna say this is the final name because I'm sure it could change, but we're happy with this name as of right now. I don't really have anything too negative to bitch about today. I've had an alright couple of days. My weekend actually ruled. Me, Dan and Steve found a bunch of Halloween supplies in the Dougherty's dumpster, which was awesome, went to Roji's a couple times (their bubble tea rules!), ate some good food, watched some good movies, hung out with amazing friends, and shredded around town on the board. I'm hoping this weekend rules too. Lastly... Toronto hardcore rules. Listen to Career Suicide. Current Mood: pretty rad Current Music: Career Suicide (Comment on this)

12:03 am	So, tomorrow seems like it's gonna be a pretty rad day. I'm stoked because my soccer team (AC Milan) won the champions league tonight! So tomorrow Negi-J, Matty Mosh and myself are gonna be watchin the game that J-Plague recorded. Then, I'll be goin to Kari because our powerviolence band we just started is gonna have our first official practice. The band line-up is myself on throat, Kari on guitar, Dean on bass and Dan on drums. I'm pretty stoked, especially since we're all vegan dudes so we've been writing a lot of lyrics involving topics such as animal research/testing and genetic engineering. After that, Patty Guns is gonna pick me up and I'm gonna hang with him, Matty Mosh, Kelly and Liz. I'm pretty stoked about tomorrow, and I guess things have been goin alright. I've been thinkin about a lot of things lately (and there's still things on my mind I just can't shake) and honestly I don't even know what to do anymore. I'm so confused. I'm just gonna work, have fun and just be me, because that's all I can be. Current Mood: fairly stoked Current Music: No Comment (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:20 am	Revolution's not at the bottom of a bottle, it's staring you right in your fucking face! So, I am beyond excited. Today is not only my official last day of school until January, but it's also the first day of Smash Your Face With a Skateboard Fest. To make things better, money is extremely tight and myself and Weston have no clue where we are gonna stay when we get to Rochester. This weekend will not only rule, it's gonna be an adventure! When I get back, I think I will be writing a couple pages describing the details of this amazing weekend. More than likely they'll be posted on here. Hope to see everyone there!

5:25 pm	Fuck it. Fuck being bummed. Fuck regrets. Fuck other people's expectations. I just can't wait to get the fuck out of here this weekend and have a blast at Smash Your Face With a Skateboard Fest.

9:40 am	Man, I'm sick of feeling. I'm sick of complication. Please just bring me back to simpler days. Skateboards. Bad Religion. Best of friends. And not a care in the world. I don't care how many times love never works out. I don't want to be anything special. I don't want to meet anyone's expectations. I just want to be happy. I just want to be me. Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: Bad Religion (3 Comments |Comment on this)
9:13 am	It's okay. I understand more than you could ever know. And I'm really okay. I'd rather a friend than nothing at all or just another fading night. Even though my cheeks hide my compromising words, did I love you? I don't really need to say it, because I'm sure you read my eyes. And don't ever feel as though you've lost a friend, because my heart is still open wide. But, it all comes down to this, and I wanted you to know... I'm okay. I'm moving on.

11:31 am	So, I am in a decent mood today. I have been listening to nothing but death/thrash metal for 3 days. It rules. I've been checking out a lot of new bands like Bloodbath, Toxic Holocaust, Unholy Grave, Atomizer, while still listening to greats such as Nasum, Napalm Death, and Suffocation. I really hope I get to see someone tonight though, otherwise, my mood might just drop. :( I don't wanna disappoint her. Current Music: Suffocation (8 Comments |Comment on this)

2:59 pm	Today's been leaning towards the shitty side. I'm stuck at OCC until 4:30 when my review class starts and then I might not be doin a damn thing, which would suck. Very possibly though, I might go hang with Pat and see MLIW tonight, which would be rad cause I'd get to see Kelly and Liz and whoever else is goin as well. At least tomorrow will rule. BSS for FREE at my second home (821 Westcott - saying goodbye to that place is gonna suck), then I'll be seein amazing friends because it's gonna be Kristen's b-day! :D (Although, picking a b-day party on the same day as BSS was in bad taste duders). I don't even feel like typing depressing, downer shit right now. Fuck it, I have too long of a day for that shit. I just can't wait til tomorrow. Current Mood: whatever Current Music: The Ergs!

8:42 am	"SellTheHouseSellTheCarsSellTheKidsFindSomeoneElseForgetItI'mNeverComingBackForgetIt" Dillinger 4 I've lost more sleep than I can say And blurred the lines between the days Pour myself another cup Put one out light another up My mind's stopped making any sense I've lost track of the present tense Don't wanna leave, don't wanna stay I'd kill to bring back yesterday Folded up and left for dead The things I wish I would've said The times I should've turned and run But the damage was already done And I dug myself a deeper hole Raked myself over the coals Reason brings redemption But redemption won't be mind Suppressed my frustation But it returned Lost in the translation I'm not concerned Smoke 'em if you got 'em 'Cause we're never gonna learn And dance upon the ashes of this world Got hours more and miles to go I feel the clock begin to slow Play the hand that I was dealt By the enemy that is myself If I don't get out from under this I might never know what I fucking missed I'm at the breaking point But don't know where to draw the line Suppressed my frustation But it returned Lost in the translation I'm not concerned Smoke 'em if you got 'em 'Cause we're never gonna learn And dance upon the ashes of this... And I'm ticking like a fucking bomb Had the best of intentions My resolve outlasts my apprehensions Won't be the first time Not gonna be the last I looked ahead through bleary eyes And wondered what was left Wondered will I pass the test I lost myself and I found myself And then I lost it all again It comes down to me in the end The more I know The less I comprehend It comes down to me in the end Current Mood: stepping up Current Music: Dillinger 4 (Comment on this)

8:33 am	"Fallen" The Hope Conspiracy I have nothing left inside Today, I let it wither and die With a cutting crash of broken past And a reckless pace for killing it fast Falling down I have suffered too long Beaten 'til my heart was cold Within the frames I watch the decay Of everything I love falling away Falling down again Current Mood: losing ability to give a fuck Current Music: The Hope Conspiracy (Comment on this)

10:27 am	Regardless of the words pressed beneath my typing fingers... Nothing ended. Nothing changed. Just please, open your eyes, and see that I'm standing before you. With a broken heart that can be fixed. That I only want you to fix. That I'm still waitng for you to hold. To heal me. To make me smile. To look into your eyes, and smile. That night was a bandage that I'm afraid is losing it's strength. If it can't be you to rebuild me, I'd rather remain broken. I miss you.

8:31 am	Today should be alright. Dan's makin me some vegan alfredo and I get to hang out with all my fine friends at 821 (definately my second home). Still though, there's so much stuff on my mind. My life's confusing to start. I feel so much and it pulls me in a million different directions. It's so hard sometimes. Everything is just piling on, thicker and thicker. I just wish I could stop time and take a breath. As I said prior, I made a difficult decision a couple of days ago, and as I feared, I'm not happy with my decision. It's kind of funny how things work. I feel like such a fool, but it's still her. That same girl. That same one night. Those same words we spoke. That same girl, who's always on my mind. I can't pretend I don't care, but at this point I don't know what else to do. I feel like I'm playing a game that has no end... that I can never win. We haven't really talked in a little while and it's just making me feel like we're drifting further apart. Can't we just go back to that one night. My hand on your face. Your hand on my hand. Perfect. I don't want that night to be like a shooting star. Perfect while it lasts, but gone so quickly. I don't want that. Nervous messages haven't changed anything. They haven't changed anything. I never said something I didn't mean. You still have me. Your words can still change everything. And I remain waiting...

8:37 am	So, this week has been alright. I met this girl Rachael who's become one of my best friends (mainly because she likes Escape From New York). We have so much fun together and it rules. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to see some other friends, like Weston and Dan (so I can grub, since he's a master chef). I kind of threw in the towel on something a few days ago. Things just started getting so confusing. It got so hard that I didn't know what else to do. Something about it just doesn't feel right though. I just didn't feel right. I felt like I was in second. I felt like I was in a constant struggle for the top. I felt like things would never end up how I wanted them to. Still, I miss someone an awful lot.
