Plus, I knew david would read this and get a kick out of it.<br /><br />Sunday afternoon Becca and I went out for lunch at our favorite mexican restaurant, Pancho Villa. When we were seated we were immedeately acquainted with a teenaged girl sitting with her parents in the booth behns us as she was speaking loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear her. The first part of her conversation was about breaking up with her boyfriend, pretty standard teenage girl talk. The point at which my ears perked to her conversation was when she began to describe a show that she went to the night previous at KC's. I tried to block her out as she explained that a "two-step" is something you do on the outside edges of the mosh pit when you want to mosh but aren't ready yet" and how a tower of sweaty guys collapsed at the front of the stage towards the end of the set. She explained the set-up of KC's, she explained how to mosh, she explained everything...except the music. She didn't say one word about what was going on at the front of KC's. This blew me away. <br /><br />I am a much different person today, when it comes to musical tastes. While I still enjoy a catalogue of tried and true hardcore records, I have had no trouble in separating a bulk of my CD collection to be sold to some kids who will hopefully care about them as much as I did. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:82943 2006-02-21T05:10:05Z 2006-02-21T05:10:05Z hum - stars There are a few reasons that I should have sent a poet, or at least brought one with me, for this weekend's journey. First, because I cannot begin to describe what a beautiful thing it is to be with Rebecca Stewart. I wish there was someone that could write down in words the immense joy we share when together and the tortured reality when we part. <br /><br />The snow covered mountains in West Virginia deserve a poet's words as well. My drive home was made bearable because of the gorgeous scenery through West Virginia and western Virginia. <br /><br />I saw one of the best punk shows ever on sunday. I am still hoarse tonight from all the singing along I did. David said i was louder than the singer. I got the mic like 10 times during the set. paint it black make hardcore music fun for me again, I missed it. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:82583 2006-02-11T15:52:54Z 2006-02-11T15:52:54Z beatles - savoy truffle <img src="http://i.somethingawful.com/inserts/articlepics/photoshop/02-10-06-starwars/Pookaliscious.jpg" alt="valentine" /> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:82202 2006-02-11T01:19:10Z 2006-02-11T01:19:10Z best mix ever If you have a bad week I suggest that you spend some time listening to:<br /><br />green day - dookie and <br />foo fighters - the colour and the shape.<br /><br />Having a friday with those two albums will make your shit of a week not so bad. <br /><br />Next week, I am going to Beckley, WV. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:82159 2006-01-25T04:54:49Z 2006-01-25T04:54:49Z Ground Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic “5 Weird Habits of Yours” and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 quirky habits as well as state this rule clearly.

Becca and I are seeing a lot of eachother, which is good, real good. I have gotten so bad at updating. I'd like to hang out with david and michael before I leave for columbus, and then again after I get back. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:81314 2005-11-28T03:48:50Z 2005-11-28T03:48:50Z what a great weekend. I miss becca now, but she will be back home in about 2 weeks. I am excited for the next two weeks to disapear as quick as possible. For thanksgiving part I, I made a yummy stuffing to add on to the yummy stuffing that rebecca's mom made. In part 2 at my house, I had a cheesecake mad, with a mixed berry topping. it was yummy. dad never gives me guff when I am desparate for money. I explained that my miscalculation was due to a misunderstanding on my part with what I was supposed to use most of my loan check for. Becca and I are going to get married, we told my parents on friday at dinner. I think becca has already told her parents. I have to spend less and save more next semester so that I can buy her a fitting engagement ring. I feel like crap just from being back in my apartment. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:80764 2005-11-15T18:22:36Z 2005-11-15T18:22:36Z I'm pretty much done with this semester, and ready to move on to the next. I got a job this summer playing trombone for a theatre here in richmond. This will be a great time for me to make and save up a lot of money. I will also be so insanely lonely during those few months, that I will possibly go insane. I am hoping that I will get to see becca as much as I can over the summer. We are both trying to focus on saving up money, and loving from afar. I am open for any suggestions as to what type of job I could take on top of the barksdale thing. I'd love to work in a record store, but I would waste all of my money on cds and stuff. As bad as food services are, I might have to take a job doing that shit. Tomorrow night, I am leaving for VMEA. This will probably be fun. Thanksgiving is around the corner, and I am really excited about spending time with new and old families. This all needed to be shared. it's been a long time. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:80465 2005-10-25T01:49:59Z 2005-10-25T01:49:59Z gustav mahler - symphony no.5 I got back from columbus, ohio yesterday around noon. I have never felt such reluctancy to do anything before in my life. I suppose that I am all the stronger for being able to look forward to the next time becca and I will be together, even though she was standing right there before I walked into the airport. So in 18 days, I will be with her again. Compared to the last stretch, this will be a breeze. The one day I went to the Ohio State campus, I discovered that I really do hate the college setting. I wasn't sure if it was just VCU that was making me ill but it is in fact all college scenarios. I can't wait to be done with all of this so that I can begin my life. Every time I see my dad I feel like such a loser, because the majority of our conversations are about managing money, and having him help me out financially. I want that to be over with. Becca and I are going to get married not long after I graduate from college, and then it will be her and I on our own. I look forward to those days, even though I am sure they won't be as easy as we wish. I am still obsessed with buying music. I have purchased probably close to 25 classical recordings in the last month. Unfortunately I am losing interest in hardcore music more and more as the days go on. I will probably go to the coliseum show coming up though. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:80056 2005-09-24T19:32:16Z 2005-09-24T19:33:10Z <a href="http://community.webshots.com/photo/459299169/459300175WlIdWd">My new tattoo</a><br /><br />I finally got it done, and I am quite happy with how it looks.

I am excited. I took the music history III thing today, and did fine. I would probably fail all of these tests if it weren't for these magic notecards I acquired from a beautiful princess. All I had to do to get them was promise to make passionate love to her whenever we meet.

I don't know why I get such a kick out of doing things like this. On the way to her house for a wolf trap event, I called her from around the corner to tell her that I was stuck in really bad traffic in lorton and that I probably wouldn't be there for another hour. It was funny when she opened the door not expecting to see me stnading there. Becca and I have almost been seeing eachother for a year and a half. Many more to come. <br /><br />I am sort of studying for the music history III quiz on tuesday. I know quite a few people that will not do well on this test. I can't wait to be done with college. College keeps me from saving money and it keeps me from the queen of all biscuits, Rebecca Stewart. I have been missing her a lot over the last few days. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:79103 2005-09-12T21:29:32Z 2005-09-12T21:29:32Z george michael - freedom I hope becca hasn't already left her usually boring LJ friends page because I really want her to read how much I love her before she leaves the library in columbus, Ohio. I have so many memories and warm thoughts that have piled up since becca and I discovered eachother and I want to document them in this JiveJournal. I don't consider myself to have the greatest writing abilities, so it will be difficult to do any of the memorable situations justice. <br /><br />I want to call Jeremy to ask what the hell he was thinking, but I am afraid of getting too angry, and not actually making any impact on his choices for the future. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:78595 2005-08-26T01:36:22Z 2005-08-26T01:36:22Z billy joel nothing to speak of. I started school today. I would probably be really depressed about it all starting over, but becca is here with me, so I am just happy. My computer seems to be working. I saw kid dynamite in NYC, it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. NYC is not as great as all the commercials want you to think. I am already looking forward to driving out to columbus with becca, and she hasn't even left richmond yet. I'm going to have to like marry her or something. that's the ticket to my happiness. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:78336 2005-07-28T21:28:43Z 2005-07-28T21:28:43Z lets hope to god I make it through the next three days without completely blowing my top. Two weeks to regain some sanity. My greatest concern with my mom is how in the hell my dad could possibly be dealing with this. is he about to blow his top like me? I want to be here to ease his struggle, but I don't want to be around her at all. I am spring loaded. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:78214 2005-07-15T04:50:34Z 2005-07-15T04:51:10Z <a href="http://hostofopinions.blogspot.com/">http://hostofopinions.blogspot.com/</a> urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:77615 2005-07-08T05:30:53Z 2005-07-08T05:30:53Z smetana - the moldau so about this becca. she was at the ball game today with me and I smiled and annoyed the hell out of her. I love it when visiting team fans try to start up some sort of chant/cheer. God made me a loud individual for a reason, and stopping visiting team fans from cheering is one of those reasons. she is coming to stay with me saturday night so that we can go to church sunday morning. I am singing and she will be swooning (hopefully). I've not known the Dvorak biblical songs to influence swoon before, but if anyone were to do it, its her. Becca and I went to a sushi bar in vienna after the game. getting from RFK to I-66 could have been a whole lot more difficult. The sushi was good, but the appetizers we both ordered were definitely the highlights. All except for her mother's objections to satirical comedy, I love becca's family. Apparently they all think I am worthy of her attention. My car is fixed and I work tomorrow. It'll probably still be pooring rain. Saturday evening is going to be awfully tight. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:77240 2005-07-05T05:06:59Z 2005-07-05T05:06:59Z the slurpee song As all of my loyal fans know, I am not one to use my journal as a major outlet for my emotional feelings. I just don't like writing sappy stuff. I don't like reading other people's sappy entries (i.e. mon frere) and so I don't want to put the few peole who do read my journal through any torture by making them read my sap. Unfortunately, in order to describe my weekend with any measure of accuracy in detail I must conform my ways (just this once) and release my emotions. I finished work saturday earlier than I expected and went home to pack so that I could get to Becca as soon as possible. When I arrived her parents greeted me warmly and I jumped into the middle of the movie they were watching. Becca and I watched another movie after the first movie was over. I got to kiss her. In order to get up early to go to the 7:45 service at First Baptist of Vienna we hit the sack. I slept in her room on an olympian's mattress, and she slept on a pull-out. Unfortuantely, we were unable to rendezvous during the night. Church was great. I always like going to black church. Everyone is filled with the spirit and they let themselves express it so that others can witness the power of their faith. I strive to have that much confidence in my faith. Two and a half hours later we went to the neighborhood pool and did some aquaerobics. I had fun splashing, and expressed a false desire to come back in the future. I got some sunburn after that. Becca taught me how to drive a stick shift vehicle. I am fast to learn but slow to practice and so some of our on road experiences left me discouraged. Becca reassured me. She drove when we went to pick up food for our lawn picnic at wolf-trap. My favorite parts of dinner were the creamed spinach and the german lager. As the night progressed and as Michael Buble sang a desire to be as close to Becca as possible grew inside of me. After the concert was over I didn't want to leave Vienna. It seems like living with Becca will complete a part of my life I have longed to fill. On the way home from the concert, becca stalled the car out. The teacher has become the student. I love her. She is the cause for my greatness. I can't wait. <br /><br />That wasn't too sappy. Just in case you think it was, I listened to Martyr AD twice while delivering tonight. what an insanely heavy cd. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:somuchfunk:76891 2005-06-30T23:07:59Z 2005-06-30T23:07:59Z 7 angels 7 plagues baseball is so much better than pretty much everything else. when I grow up, I am going to have season tickets, or at least split a package with my dad.

I love hardcore music. I don't really like shows anymore. I find that all I want is to own more and more cds, so that I can enjoy the music some really good bands are or have already put out. When this all started so many years ago hardcore was about the live show. I feel weird hating shows so much and loving hardcore as much as I do. Can I have one without the other? I got to thinking about my unbalanced taste with hardcore after hearing the new modern life is war tracks. I can't wait for the CD to come out so I can buy it. However, I don't think I will ever go to see them live. I'm not sure what did it to me. Probably all the kids competing in beauty/strong man contests. Probably having to wear earplugs. Probably wanting to have a conversation. There are a few shows coming up this summer that I do want to go to. I know I'm not going to give up totally on going to shows, but its not going to be a part of my hardcore experience. I'd much rather go on a road trip.
