Boredom

2004-08-01T00:17:00.000-05:00

Boredom is no simple task. Tackling boredom is harder than tackling a 350 pound lineman. With boiled carrots as your only tool. And crazy glue too i guess, i mean its only fair.

I had tender feelings that you made hard
but its your heart, not mine, thats scarred
So when i go home i'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know
You don't need my help anymore
its all now to you, there aint no before
now that youre big enough to run your own show
youre just somebody that i used to know
i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw a living past away
so you can be sure youre in control
youre just somebody that i used to know
i know you dont think you did me wrong
and i cant stay this mad for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
youre just somebody that i used to know

By the way, fucking fucking fucking life.

Summer blares

2004-07-25T22:03:00.000-05:00

Summer continues to be the suck.

The days is a pretty good show, for those who are interested. That kid is just the same as me except in his dress...its kind of eerie.

Hmm... Leah is STILL in Maine much to my distress...and im going on vacation right when she gets back ARGH.

Nothing else has ever happened to me ever, which makes life majorly boring.

Summer is through

2004-06-30T22:57:00.000-05:00

the ataris - 12 miles to blue skies and big something (Emopunk?)
ninedays - the madding crowd (Really good songs, especially story of a girl)
Sum 41 - Half hour of power (Now leaving punkass bitchcore stage)
hoobastank (self titled) (SUCH an amazing cd, too bad everyone knows who they are now.)

blue man group - audio (Went to their show and got it autographed!)
pete yorn - musicforthemorningafter (Great stuff...too bad he cant make another decent album)
john mayer - room for squares (One of my favorites. Hes so dreamy.)
Jack johnson - brushfire fairytales (Folk is gooood)

smashing pumpkins - earphoria (live pumpkins! ask for better. seriously. try me.)
smashing pumpkins - adore (My first concert was this album! They were the best ever in concert)
cold - 13 ways to bleed on stage (hardest album i own. emo though, strangely)

modest mouse - the moon and antarctica (Great great album, new one is on par.)
Wilco - Yankee hotel foxtrot (Chicago band for a chicago man...possibly my favorites)
smashing pumpkins - machina: the machines of god (obligatory new pumpkins cd turns into their last album...not what i expected)
nine - keep on movin (Cousins cd, suprisingly good - but better in concert)
five for fighting - america town (Superman is the gayest song i like)
bright eyes - lifted, or, the stroy is in the soil keep your ear to the ground (Best storyteller ever...conor oberst will forever amaze anyone who listens to him! Album of year 2002)
red hot chili peppers - by the way (Turns out that the hit single was the worst song on the cd!)
zwan - mary star of the sea (Billy corgans genius gone to waste)
the juliana theory - love (The only cd i have of theirs...shame i cant get more)
the shins - chutes too narrow (i was really into them for like a month...now all teh songs sound the same)
tribute to heroes live ( Bought after sept 11....you do what you can, and its not a bad cd anyways)
bonaroo live '02 (Gift from cousin....best jammy music ev0r)
counting crows - hard candy (Crap compared to their old albums, but i went to see them anyways)
less than jake - say goodbye to the blue and white (SKA PHASE!)
(Many random ska mixes for like a dollar apiece)(END SKA PHASE!...but i still love streetlight)
cold - year of the spider (Had to get it, metal meets emo still!)
stereophonics - you gotta go there to come back (Really good band that sucked in concert...but they are still amazing in studio)
damien rice - o (Best guitarist next to keller williams, and songs are 10x better overall)
coldplay - a rush of blood to the head (Why not?!)
mike park - for the <3 of music (I only found a couple dls of him for a long time, but then i saw his album used for 6 bucks and couldnt resist!)
death cab for cutie - you can play these songs with chords (Got oldest album at their concert, really shows diversity)
martin scorcese presents robert johnson (12-bar blues. whats not to like?)
the very best of the toots and the maytals (Reggae!)

Survey

2004-06-23T21:09:00.000-05:00

First, i apologize for my quiz obsession, but there will be another included at the bottom of this post.

Today i picked up some superb CDs, The Moon and Anarctica by Modest Mouse, and A Ghost is Born by Wilco. I highly reccomend them both.

Also, my fantasy baseball team has moved its way into 1st place. Here are the stats.
3 Pitchers: 15-7 record, 190 K, 2.45 ERA, .94 WHIP
5 Hitters Combine for: .316 BA, 62 HR, 230 RBI, 241 R

Absolutely. Off. Teh. Heezy.

Summer school is still a bore, but the week is coming to an end which is nice. Im still eager to do anything with anyone.

Saturnine,
cj

"The more awesomest is me."
- Guy

I dont know who that guy was but he said it very sincerely.

Yesterday...went to Desiree's house and swimmed in her pool, had fun for once, which was on the nice side. Ive already been awake for 4 hours, if you can believe that, and i plan on napping soon. The lady buisness has been cured, in large part due to youseff and desiree. Thanks guys. Maybe ill take you out for a smoothie sometime. No, probably not.

Its the weekend...ugh.

When was my last post?

I dont really remember...but the last few days have been mostly poker and movies. Um...there was some paintballing mixed in there too... Summer just melts everything together...

Hopefully now that NW is off i can start to have fun again.

With love,
cj

Im leetsauce

2004-06-09T23:44:00.000-05:00

My cousins dont know what 1337sauce and nubsauce is, so it was funny to say that to them while i paintballed.

Me: "Mike you are nubsauce!"
Mike: (pokes head out) "What does that mean?!"
Me: BLAM

Paintball sure is fun.

Then me mike and david hung out with the ladies. Many sexy ladies. MANY. Sexy!. Ladies...

Just wanted you to be sure you read that last line right ;)

Anyways, thats the story of my day, and nothing is really on my nerves so you dont have to bear a rant! Unfortunately, this seems to be more and more like a xanga. There will be new material by the end of the week. Promise.

Exhausted,
cj

Hot Hot Heat

2004-06-09T00:18:00.000-05:00

Wow, today was infinite hotzorz. I watched last comic standing with mike and it was funny! We also swan in his pool to cool off and he made me a great hamburger.

Yesterday i got to visit my mom's work, wich was rather interesting, and i got to see a movie wiht Leah and some of her friends, whcih was significantly more interesting. Im still mourning my cat though... :'(

Tomorrow its likely off to grandmothers, and hopefully to david's at night. Summer is starting to swing, and i hope it stays well.

caliente,
cj

RIP Kitty...

2004-06-07T16:04:00.000-05:00

RIP T2 06/06/04

'Tis a sad day in Jockeytown

And nobody claim that you cried yourself to sleep because you are definitely not sleeping if you are crying.

A little more real than before,

ps matchbook romance is junk. just so we're all clear on that.

Schools out, for the summer...

2004-06-04T23:10:00.000-05:00

Finally done with my freshman year....no longer a lowly freshman but rather a jackass sophmore! W00t! Finals went as expected, and i hope i did well on my math. Otherwise I'm just glad to get some extra sleep for the next 2 weeks before the dreaded summer school begins. For all those leaving Loyola, i wish you the best (Especially Andrew), and for all those sucking it up and sticking around, may you all party hard.

Anyways, tonight was rather uneventful, got to watch Kyle's concert, but they were better last year...

Best wishes for sophmore year and this summer

They call me Captain Insane-O. More realistically, they call me Monti. I have decided to become co-master of Cj's blog, to help him make it nicer and to have someone whose posts make sense. Though I do not support or listen to emo, I am doing this to spite xanga. I'll be posting occasionally and updating the site. Also, I am refering to my self as Captain Insane-o, because no one can take that away from me. No one.

- Monti, the utterly insane captain

Fin de Semana

2004-05-31T16:56:00.000-05:00

This is going to be a story about my weekend, as i actually did something worth noting for once. Friday, i have no idea what i did. I just cant remember for some reason... Saturday, met a bunch of kids i didnt know, and had some fun around teh mall and ari's house. Sunday was the grand salami. We walked to old orchard (bubble shake in tow), and just beat a very, very dark cloud. It proceeded to pour rain everywhere, thusly deterring me into a movie with leah, kellen, and matt (?). Shrek 2 was a good flick, i especially preferred puss in boots. After not being able to spend the night at kellens house (damn!) i got to youseffs about 2 hours after the movie ended, and a lecture on blackjack wiser from jared. Once there, there was only one thing to do. Create havoc. Monti and jared duked it out, i ate a hot pocket, and youseffs room was ingited into a huge fireball of baby powder. And fire. That too. I then came home and have sat here for 5 hours managing to not study for finals. Only 4 days of school left until summer...who knows what could happen then...

Now, a short rant on what to say on your punk ass bitch core xanga after you get your heart broken. Theres two things to do. Make it out like you are oh so hurt and crying, which would be the emotional way to do it, or act as if you are too good for him/her and make fun of your ex. Either way makes you look equally stupid, people, so just knock it off or make up something original.

Everything seems to be slowly improving on all fronts, and hopefully they will only get better.

Every living being dies alone,
cj

Thursday

2004-05-27T21:51:00.000-05:00

Thursday. A solid day. Holds its own against tuesday and sunday, rapes mondays. But this thursday pwned all.

First. Yearbooks. Didnt get one, but turns out they werent worth it anyways. All i would use it for is signing, and thats why i have paper. So i came home, destroyed cyrus in everything imaginable, had sex with 100 virgins, than went to montis house. We grilled up some burgers and threw around some balls and discs, thus resulting in a very tired and sweaty Cj. Came home, gave the dog a walk, and now here i am. it was a great day indeed, but the best part is still TBA.

So whats awesome this week, eh?

-Frisbees
-Stereophonics
-Functional Ipod
-2 days left of school!

Whats not
-Spanish finals (plural!)
-finals
-not sleeping enough

Wishing the best on all but the most obnoxious,
cj

Emotions, and why they arent real

2004-05-26T22:39:00.000-05:00

Blue room update: Still Fucked

Anyways, i was having a conversation with my good buddy jade when i came upon this profoud question. "Does everyone have a best friend?". i figured yes, and after jade started whining about how she should get one. Push came to shove, and eventually jade accused me of hurting her feelings. To this I replied, "What feelings do you have?". After thinking this through, i came to the decision that humans experience only 5 emotions. Jealousy, Self Pity, Greed, Grief, Love. I couldnt really classify a feeling into another category. If you think happiness is missing, youre a dumbass because happiness is just an absence of the above. Jade proceeded to call me hateful and slam a door in my face. All in all, it was a very rewarding experience on my end, because i got to feel smarter than someone else AND more profound. Even if that was a falsetto. Wow, i planned that this would go somewhere and it just didnt.

New crack, new look...

2004-05-25T20:58:00.000-05:00

Today, i found the wonders of Crimson, Viridian, and Blue room. They are the ultimate online crack. If there were more to beat, im sure i wouldnt be posting right now. www.ebaumsworld.com/crimsonroom.html for the first room. I warn you, do not go to this website if you plan on going to class and doing your homework the rest of the day. It will surely eat up a good 6 hours of your spare time, probably more considering i had some help.

Also got a picture up, Transatlanticism's cover, a little dull, but better than nothing. Changed the fonts around to look a little sharper, and obviously the color switch from blue gray hues to brown. i think teh brown is pretty! tell me what you think.

Today, i sucessfully missed 2 classes to do crack, and otherwise was sitting in class thinking about doing crack. That was pretty much it, also played poker and lost...im getting really tired of that game...

im also getting really tired period. need more sleep i s'pose.

without a lady,

Brand Spanking New, Bitches...

2004-05-24T22:24:00.000-05:00

Thats right. Windows Xp. Cleaned up hard drive. This thing is now a well oiled machine, and clogged up with several gigs of music from itunes. My ipod is up and working, and there is but 2 weeks of school remaining! Things couldnt get better. (Why does it work that when one says "Things couldnt get worse" they inevitably do, but the opposite is true of "Things couldn't get better"?) This week has low porspects, but the end of the year manages to make it above average, as was this weekend.

Friday, saw tony's shag pad, and it was awful nice. Played hold'em, gamecube, etc. Everyone should take a lesson from tony in how to be a great guy. Dont be a nazi about your shit. Be good to your guests. Dont whine when you lose. Laugh at everything. I wish there were more tonys in the world. On Saturday, i got to visit my good friend Micheal r. Blauvelt, and we played some hold'em and got dinner from KFC. The ladies were there, and had much to say about my bed and how my bed makes me ten times sexier than i already am. Which is impossible right? Right?

Fine.

I need to go Cd shopping, lets make a list

Variety = Bad

2004-05-20T21:27:00.000-05:00

If anyone knows how to get comments on this mofo, do tell.

Sorry folks, no rant today. im sure ill have a good one by the end of the weekend. Anyways, i hit up the old PV variety show today, and it was a good time. Saw heidi jen and maggie, saw some crazy 8th graders, saw stevie small dressed up as john lennon. It was too funny. And too hot. What a double entendre. We also solicited quarters and checked out some hot 8th graders. All in all, a good time. Tomorrow, doing something, of what im not yet sure.

Wow, seeing all those hot girls made my self pity-o-meter go up like 7.7

Now im sad.

sad,

Food, knives, and yeah, thats about it.

2004-05-19T21:48:00.000-05:00

Food - Me and youseff cooked dinner at montis. It was good. Made some zucchinis, some burgers, etc. etc., ended up with a mouthful of mustard and ketchup in my eye, holding an empty bottle of ranch dressing. Good times indeed...

Knives - We had a knife fight, which mostly involved me holding a knife and telling everyone to throw stuf at me so i can cut it in midair. It was fun. I also learned how to throw knives the wrong way. All in all, a very productive and violent day at montis.

It keeps feeling like thursday, even though i know it isnt. Its mas annoying. I spose its because school is sooo close to being done. I guess its time to put off my homework until later, but not until i have made a new list of things awesome.

- books
- food
- knives

Dumb things

Downloading music is bad, kiddies...

2004-05-18T20:07:00.000-05:00

Let me explain some basic economics to the gente. Let us say that your favorite band puts out an album. Five people by it, go home, stick it on their kazaa, and 50 million people suddenly have access to it. The band has made all of 20 bucks, and everyone who wanted the new cd now has a burned copy. Sorry kids, but 20 dollars isnt going to cut it to make their next album. Your band is no longer passing go and collecting 200 dollars. You really need to support the guys that make the music for you, or there wont be any left. If youre lucky, you can even feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you buy a Cd knowing that the proceeeds are going towards getting bush out of office. If you are going to sample a song or two off kazaa, feel free, but please get off your lazy asses and spend a few bucks so everyone can have music to listen to. And by all means spend lots and lots of money to see shows because thats where the bands get most of their cash. For me, buying cds serves as a deterrent to buying food, so its killing two birds with one stone.

Now that i got that off my chest...

School is boring, and a ton of work. I cant wait til the weekend.

Buy your cds kiddies,

2004-05-17T22:47:00.000-05:00

This week is full of work, and maybe some play, but mostly work. These days are turning bland, what with the weather melting everything together.

This will be my shortest post.

ever.

If i dont keep up the pace this week, cut me some slack because finals arerapidy approaching.

The weekend, and its perilous entails

2004-05-16T15:01:00.000-05:00

No rant today, unless something turns me on in the next 10 minutes.

This weekend was good, and when i say good, i mean lots and lots of gambling and lots and lots of losing money.

Okay, something just got on my nerves.

Id post this person's "xanga", but youd all know who it is and one of us would end up in the bottom of a lake. Im going to define a stereotypical punk, and then im going to bitch.

Punk - Goes to see shitty local bands all the time. Gets in huge bitch fights at every concert they go to. Ends up crying about the opposite sex. Comes home, goes on their xanga, bitches about how other people are fake and how you shouldnt care how you look or how you act and just do whatever the fuck you want because nobody should stop you. ITS ALL THE FUCKING SAME AND WEVE HEARD IT A MILLION TIMES SO SHUT UP! Let me tell you something. Sometimes, I feel like i should skullrape someone in the middle of class so hard that their ear bleeds. Theres nothing fucking stopping me from doing that, so why shouldnt i do it? BECAUSE IM NOT A DUMBASS. As much as you deny it, other people have control over you, your actions, and what you listen to or dress like. Why do you think people wear those stupid chuck taylors? Because their favorite band tells them to. Why cant you wear a purple cardigan and cutoff jeans all the time? No reason, except that youd be a dumbass. I dont care how terribly you dress, how smeared your makeup is, or how amazing your friends band is. Someone did it before you so dont think youre hot shit. If youre with me and you really want to see the post that sparked this jumbled mess of sass, send me something and ill get back to you.

Ok.

The weekend.

Friday, jsut hung out and played poker, went to kfc, saw every race imaginable. Saturday night, we crashed at my house and eated and played and eated some more. Got some killer gifts (Donnie darko movie poster) and had some killer times. Not much more to say, im hopefully off to see van helsing.

Angry at punk rock,

No me gusta a nadie de las chicas

2004-05-13T21:32:00.000-05:00

No me gusta a nadie de las chicas. Todas son guapas, pero no me conoce una quien es intelegente y comico. Necesito la ayuda de algunas personas para buscar una chica buena para mi. Yo no se a quien, pero en los anos pasados, tuve mas que cero novias, y no me desea a romper esta tradicion.

Should i go mall or should i go concert. Either way, it has to be better that today was. Hopefully there will be a guitar at the concert to impress the ladies with.

Now that that is behind us, lets review our day.

Math: Boring
Science: Boring
Lunch: boring
Faith: Less boring
English: Boring
Free: less boring
Spanish: Boring

This was a boring day, as you can see. I got home and wasted 5 hours of my time to break even in poker. That was fun. Now go to put off my science homework and et cetera. Ive even written a new song. Its called this day was madd boring.

This day was so madd boring, yo.

Its a work in progress.

Lets make a list of awesome stuff to fill some space.
-Death Cab For Cutie
-Texas Hold 'Em
-My dog
-The taste of loyola
-Guitar

And now some less awesome stuff:
-School

Hoping to have something more exciting to write about this weekend,

Hip Hip hooray for rainy days!

2004-05-12T19:49:00.000-05:00

Today it stormed. Man was i happy. I like the rain because it makes everything smell better, its cools everything off, and it has the best color combinations of anything ever created ever in the world. Rain is better than hot sun. Period. Sun is ok once in a while, but id rather have it rain 4 days a week and be sunny 3. Plants would probably be alot healthier, and we eat plants so how can that be bad?

Honestly, im just trying to create some space filler because thee is nothing to write about today. Im trying to work on writing some songs in my spare time, but my creative genius just isnt there. Other than this, i plan on crashing a concert on friday, then staying here saturday. all in all, its shaping up to be a good weekend. now there is gum on my guitar pick and i am pissed. now i have gotten the gum off and have proceeded in making a cool new progression. Dm F Bfm A :](3) Dm F B#11. It sounds pretty cool. Now someone give me wrods to put with it and it will be a real song. Lets make a band. Hoorah, hooray, this post is way too long for what its worth.

not worth reading,

The Morning After

2004-05-11T20:38:00.000-05:00

Lets start this post off by saying certian people need to give me back a certian jacket that they most certianly have but im certianly too lazy to walk over a block and get it. Hopefully certian people will be at a certian get together im certianly having this saturday so i can reunite with said certian jacket. Now that thats out of the way...

The birthday was good, the tuesday was good, the poker was good, the dad being out of town was a hassle, the ipod should soon be good, the guitar is good, and there have to be a trillion different words i could have used in place of good and certian. My brother is now home with stitches in his face. Lets have a gander.

>{8#?$%>O}

Thats sort of an emoticon that i feel expresses both the feeling i felt after jacking him in the face with a hockey puck and the feeling he had after thinking his eyeball popped out. (His own words)

Toda i won some money, went to guitar, and i plan on studying for teh first time all year for my science test tomorrow. I have grown to the point where i absolutely cannot concentrate during school anymore, so i pretty much sleepwalk through class. Its all good though, because most of my classes are blow offs anyways.

i plan to make this a good week, and hope that the luck stays well. Sorry if this post is a little less enveloping (Bad word choice) than usual, im falling asleep as is.

Yawn.

peace and love,

Xanga Must Die!

2004-05-10T21:36:00.000-05:00

Xanga has corrupted all but the strongest of the gente. Me, Wu, Youseff, and a select few others are sill holding strong against the evil subliminal messages of the "comunity" (Cult!). If you are interested in writing for this crusade against all things Xanga, please contact me!

So today was my birthday. Happy birthday to me! I got to spend some time with my family, eating a scrumptuous dinner. Then i opened some presents, all of which were much appreciated. Lots of love spread all around, it was a break from the boredom as usual. Still waiting on an idea to get my Ipod up and running. Stop in sometime in the next few days if yot to me in one of my rare good moods.

Have a great week all

My (Not So) First Post

2004-05-09T21:01:00.000-05:00

This is my not exactly first post. I was formerly of Los Vaqueros Crujientes. I terminated my stay there after it became El Vaquero Soledad. Ive opened up the tao of emo to discuss all things me, all things angering me, all things making me happy, and generally all things i see fit to discuss. I wish this website my best "Live long and prosper". (Thats the geek part.)

Today was mothers day, and im sure it was just fine for all the mothers, but for me, it was poo. My plans for the day were:

1. Eat Brunch with family
2. Not have family get injured
3. Get my ipod up and working
4. Go hang out with ari
5. Have a good day

Unfortunately, all but one of these was ruined. My brother and grandma both got messed up, my ipod doesnt run on my op system (bye bye birthday), my plans to hang out with ari were thusly ruined. My good to bad ratio was 1:3, and my day was kaput. This can only carry over into tomorrow, the most embarassing of days.

My posts should grow longer, as well as more bitter and depressed as time goes on, so stay tuned for a look deeper into my life. I wouldnt mind another writer on here either.

RIP Los Vaqueros Crujientes, 5:09:04

And one more thing...LEAH SCHALLER! You owe me help with the ladies just for that!

love directed nowhere in particualar,
cj
