I should update more. I forget what happens during the week. I'll tell you what i do remember though: Work was easy. Massive editing on wednesday from 2:30 until 11:30 w/ John. I hung out with Danielle Butera, we watched Vanilla Sky. Baseball, fun. The wreck night thing we showed our documentaries, but couldn't finish the class comp in time. My brother's birthday. I ripped the frets out of my old bass.
Now....Yesterday. April 1st. Dream Theater day. Me, Tom, Literello, Werner, Mark graffia, mahoney, anthony, rouse, degovine, and lee had breakfast at JeJoJo's. We took the 11:43 train into the city, got there around 12:something. Walked around for a while. We went to Sam Ash music for a while, good stuff...Werner found the most amazing keyboard ever. I found some DT fans from New Orleans. We ate Hot Dogs and such. We went to Nintendo World. I bought a Mountain Dew/ NYC shirt. We ate dinner at "Burger Heaven." Then: The show. They played the whole set chronologically, taking a song from each album. For the second half they had a live orchestra. It was a great show. My seats however, sucky. We were 3rd mezzanine, last row, 2nd to last seat on the left, (Tom was in the very last seat to the left). We had 2 annoying head banging kids infront of us blocking the stage, and hanging speakers blocking the screen. We were with my brother and such, everyone else was like 2nd mezzanine and the center, but they had drunk guys infront of them. I was gunna get a shirt, but they didnt have my size. Werner gave Mahoney and Lee backstage passes. They met Petrucci and Myung and they saw Rudess. He also gave Rouse and Degovine his front row tickets for the 2nd half of the show. I was happy for all them, major jealous, but happy. After the show, we took the train home. It was a good day all-in-all. But the concert was lack-luster...not the playing, but the whole environment. Hopefully they have another show sometime soon.

Friday was good day. 4th period we listened to Sev's student teacher, Mr. Jack, play some classical guitar which sounded awesome. And for the last 10 minutes of the period we played "jerk." 6th period we watch the last 10 minutes of the play. 7th I had lab off so i went to the band room and play katamari. After school I went home for a bit then I hung out with Danielle Butera. We went to John's house b/c I had to drop something off. Then to my house for a bit,and then to the mall for like an hour or so. I had a really good time! Later on my friend Jay came over for dinner, haven't seen that kid in a while. After dinner I went to the mall again, but this time it was with John and Mark Graffia. After mall we went to the track to rendevous with Werner, Sabia, Alvee, and James. We hung out for a bit and drove around. Then when the play wlet out me and John hung out with Chris, Lee, and Mahoney next to the wall outside the band room where some kid had just punch until the wall was bloody. Then we went to my house...a good 30-40 yards away. James and Alvee eventually showed up, we all just hung out on my porch and talked about what we were gunna do. They eventually went to John's house, but it was late so I stayed home.
I have work today at 4:00 which means I'm not getting back until like 4:00am. I have to type a Hamlet essay, although I don't have MS Word on my compy. Dream Theater next Saturday! Well I guess thats all the news. Peace Easy.

What I have accomplished this week: Werner's house to watch FLCL, played a lot of video games, received Me and My Katamari for PSP, edited fashion show video, and begun working on the class comp, watched "Lord of War."
What the Earth has accomplished this week: slightly warmer weather.
Dream theater is in a week or so. That's good news.

Lemmie start where I left off...
Friday. On Friday, St. Patrick's day, I recieved a call from Gamestop: "Hey is this Drew?" "Yeah this is Drew, wats up?" "This is Brian from Gamestop, your xbox 360 came in early, you can come pick it up now if you'd like." ...That's right, I got my xbox 360 2 weeks early, what a good surprise. I'm already in love with it. Later that night, I went, with Mike Sabia, to go see the Pointer-Counts. That was some good shizzy. After that I went to Danielle Butera's house for a bit and danced with Danielle, Katie, Alyssa, and Dani Z. It was quite fun dispite my early leave. It was then off to the movies to see the 11:00 showing of "V for Vendetta." I get there and i spot James Burnett and Josh Kranz....I got a bag of peanut butter M&Ms from them, (much obliged gentlemen) , and as for the movie: i thought it was awesome.
Saturday. Yet another eventful day. It started of at Mike Literello's house for some DOA4 with Adam, John, and Mark (Graffia). Then me, John and Mark got food and hung out for a bit. I left around 6:15 to get ready for Danielle Butera's sweet 16. I got there and was one of the only guys for a while. More showed up soon though, all and all it was a great party, i got a shared candle, a couple hugs from ppl, and i danced and laughed. I dropped off Meghan Hayward and went home w/ Nick and Mike (Q...who met us there). We went to the "Double D's" and then went back to my house, watch "The Count of Monte Cristo" and went to bed.
Sunday. We woke up, invited Danielle, Nicole, and Dani Z over for pancakes. Danielle had to leave :( But me, nick, dani z, and nicole watch FLCL episodes 1 & 2. They all left shortly after. The rest of the day/night was xbox live.
Monday. Today. Video games. School. Nothing special. Katamari 2moro! Later.

I also saw Jarhead, dispite several reviews....i liked it. Dream Theater draws closer...April 1st, its gunna be a good day. That plus xbox 360 on the same day...unless ofcourse its all a big april fools joke.....then it'd be the biggest let-down ever. hmmm...any other news...... I got $150 from BPN for the tremendous set-up on saturday....i think thats all. until next time yo.

So as the days keep coming, nothing seems to change.
I heard Ghost Recon 3 is good, but i still can't play it. :(
I've decided! I'm going to become a Thief, and at level 30 im gunna sub-job Ninja, and I'll probably learn blacksmithing. But now I have the choice of either a human, and elf, or a mithra.
The nice weather gets an A+. Im happy it was nice out yesterday b/c I was helping Danielle Butera with her video for Mr. Materasso's class. It was on the Middle East after WWII. Editing it was pretty simple, but my computer hates me, so i was in a constant struggle with it, and nothing to quell the fight. As for filming, everything went smoothly, Katie and Danielle had good ideas! Alyssa and Danielle Z just kinda talked about boys the whole time...? Oh, and Danielle's parents are really nice!
I have work today, again im happy its nice out, we're apparently getting paid a lot today, so its probably gunna be a ridiculous job. But money = good, Especially when you just spent $150 on video games, and still owe $200 for a new system... Well until next time.............

No one reads these friggin things. I truthfully don't think anyone cares about my life...I feel terrible right now. I've been trying to avoid a certain "topic" for a while. But I can't avoid it anymore. It sucks. I hate everything...::sigh:: bitching about it isnt gunna help...but i wish there was something i could do. ugh. Well...I got Ghost Recon 3 today...but i still dont have a 360....so i cant play it...which also sucks. I'll be around....hating life.

"What is a character but the determination of incident? And what is an incident but the illumination of character?" The Art of Fiction, Henry James. I really like this book im reading on screenplays. (by Syd Field) I'm learning a lot. So what is going down in my life. There's never much. There's always the small things though. When it comes to small and quasi-interesting stuff...I'm loaded. The good: 93 on my precalc test. Hung out w/ Sabia, John, Mark Graffia, and Werner over the course of the last few days. Went around driving and all that jazz. Werner's arcade machine: "superb". I already got a 2-million point high score on Alien vs Predator. Applied at Gamestop....I'm 85% sure I wont get a job there. Reserved an Xbox360 finally, and Me & Katamari for PSP. The bad: Worked Saturday with my brother...it wasnt too bad. Not sure what I've been feeling lately. Thats about all I can think of. Dream Theater- less than a month away! Peace out.

So anyway...I got this new game "Prince of Persia: Two Thrones," good fuggin game lemmie tell ya. You're like, a Persia ninja, I upper cut a sand-puppy in the jaw! More news, Mr. Neilsen was impressed with my editing skills/program usage. I reformated my hard-drive! That's good news, no more: "I'm and idiot, I'm gunna download games....by games I mean spyware," now that this is JUST my computer, we wont be having that problem anymore! Listened to "The Rites of Spring" today in jazz...it was amazing, Stravinsky...best guy ever. Hmm...my PS2 works...b/c i fixed it. I saw True Romance, written by Tarantino, probably one of the best movies ever. (and they quoted Shakespeares Hamlet: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmarck") The only other good news i can think of is that i'm getting into the fashion show for free, to film yet another documentary. Until next time, peace easy. And dont drink liquid plumber, it'll PROMISE death. Seeya.

Fencing Video, Complete. Today was eventful i'd say. Wrote an essay in history that i had no clue about. Sat with Kelly James at lunch. Saw something between 3rd and 4th that i wish i hadn't seen. Smashed some gangster bitch w/ a tremendous ball in gym...on purpose. And the biggest event: Class Competition. To my surprise, it was actually pretty fun. I got in for free first of all. Me and John, with help from Allen, Greg and Chris were shooting footage for our Class Competition Documentary. Got some really good stuff! Im dreading the editing though...we have around 5 hours each from both cameras...wow thats almost 9 hours of footage! Juniors won by the way. Which I couldn't care less about to be honest. Alirght, thats all i got. Peace.

Started out the day by waking up late. Not good. Coach Schnabel was my math sub. Good. Mr. Levik was really sick-like. Not Good. He gave us a period off. Good. After school I went to the fencing thing...even though I have all my equiptment..b/c I own it all. I got home...drove to CVS to get a card for someone. Came home....and the editing began. Im editing for the end of the season fencing video, for those who didnt know. Ofcourse everything went wrong b/c i have like 3 days. The format of Lisa's DVDs were: "Vobfile" which i didnt even know existed, Adobe Premiere kept not responding, i had to change all the pictures from JPEG to BMP, a lot of the pictures were the wrong size. Hopefully 2moro's editing session goes better. Aside from that....nothing much happened today, made rice for dinner? Watched G3 Live at Tokyo DVD with Petrucci, Satch and Vai. Well it's like 11:45 now. So bed is ideal. Peace out bitches.

Ok....So I finally gave in. But I can't promise that I'll keep up with this. Hmm...well I cant consider anyone wanted to read about my life, but w/e. Yesterday: Went to band practice, which was soon cancelled. I was gunna walk to Nick's house which was about a block away but he was at work. I had to go somewhere...so decided to see if my good friend Nicole was working at Boston Market. Low and behold....she was working in like an hour. So I then had to make a decision...wait an hour at Boston Market to say hi to Nicole, or walk to Werner's house a good mile or so away. So I walked to Werner's house, alone. Hung out there for a bit, then went to dinner con mi familia. Afterwards I drove to Nick's house, after picking up Werner and Sabia. We watched "Final Cut" starring Robin Williams, good movie. Then I dropped of Werner and Sabia, stopped home, and went back to Nick's house. We watchhed "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" starring Steve Martin and John Candy, funny. I slept at Nick's and was awaken by Nicole....I wish I had someone to wake up to :( We made pancakes, I went home, I went online, and now I'm here writing about my past. Well, school 2moro and then I have some editing to do probably all day...we'll see. Until next time...peace.

My only advice for you is....don't forget to not walk a half mile before you eat...or walk a mile for a half hour after you eat...or swim after eating...whatever it is just don't fuckin' do it...unless you have written permission...by GOD and only GOD himself.
