Thursday I worked and then went to play some frisbee. Salwen came through, and then we bounced and went to Ashley's, stopping at Weber's house first to visit his sister's little party. Ashley's was a blast, at one point I went to Tyler's with him to make grilled cheese haha. Came back and this was the conversation I returned to:
After all this me and Kenny went to sleep at Greg's. We took these things called miracle berries, and they make you're taste buds change shape and interpret tastes differently, but it really mostly just made sour food taste sweet and hot sauce not burn, it was pretty cool but a bit underwhelming haha. After that we went upstairs and watched OFWGKTA videos and talked up and chilled, I slept over.
Friday I woke up at Salwen's and we chilled for a bit, then he drove me home. Worked until 10, then went home, got dressed, and Omar picked me up to go to Kenny's. Relaxed at Kenny's, then we bounced and a bunch more people met up at Salwen's. Hung out in the Bay Ice and just sat around pretty much and listened to music and chilled. Argued with Koke and Titus Andronicus being amazing, fuck you Koke they rule. Then he drove me home and we got some Wendy's, went inside and played some zombies.
Saturday night I worked until 9, then came home, got dressed, and Weber picked me up. Went to Greg Falk's. Had a blast. Me and Kyle went 7-0 on the table, TYPICAL. Played some flipcup, ordered 9 pizzas, had dance parties and good talks. Haven't gotten drunk in a while and it was nice because I was at like a perfect level that night. Then Koke drove me and Kyle home, they both slept over. In the morning I woke up and helped finish up the fence with my dad, which is now done and the side area/party spot is ready to be grassed and chilled upon. Huzzah. Kyle and Koke got me Burger King <3
Last night Kyle came over and we chilled, then convinced him to come to frisbee! Weber came over, we went to play a big nice Smithtown game of fris, Lavelle showed, and a lot of the classics showed up too. Felt nice playing with the old smithtown crew and I really hope this summer is full of fris, and we keep the legacy going for many years. Then played a Hauppauge game, then Koke, Mike, Trash, Kyle, Jchrist and Petracca came over and we chilled for a while and talked women and played video games.
Today I woke up and watched American History X. That movie is amazing and I wish I could drive a point as well as that movie does, I feel like it's definitely something everyone in the world should see. After that Kyle came over, and we played zombies for a while, then went to the practice room where everyone was hanging out. Played some sweet Mario Party and me/Jess/Greg KICKED ASS!
Then we all talked about devil's three-ways and whatnot, and played Mafia... which was excessively loud and insane, moreso than usual, loved it.
Also, today I ordered my timebender pedal and I'm so pumped to start writing with it. I also now can EASILY save up for my tattoo before my July trips, and have mad money to bring with me on said trips. HUZZAH.

Fixed previous posts so that the embedded videos don't auto-play. That was really a bitch and I'm really glad I figured that out hahaha.
Weber is home and of course I've chilled with him every day. Good to have him back. Today we went to the batting cages, which I've never done before, and it was kinda cool. Might play softball this summer.
TOMORROW I GET MY RC-30 LOOPSTATION AND I'M SO PUMPED<3<3<3
Hopefully I'll start writing some legitimate tracks now and post some of my music on here by the end of the summer.
21 in 8 days. Who wants to get DUUUUHRUUUUUUUNK?

TWO DAY'S IN A ROW OF VIDEOS WOOOOO!
Today I worked fucking 9 hours and it was brutal but good money as always. Also it should be noted that last night at 3:30 AM Kyle called me from Brooklyn telling me he was locked in his car surrounded by "enemies," and didn't know where his friends were. He does not remember doing this. HA!
After work I zoomed home and got changed and zoomed to Northport for a little basement show/party that Tyler was playing. I went there once last year, and it was different from I remembered, I was hoping to meet some people but I felt a lot less outgoing than I had originally planned, but it was nice seeing some Commack bros and there was a fine gathering of Smithtownians as well.
Shenanigans. I'm only posting this next one because Omar says don't film this and I ran into some random dude and you can hear me say "sorry" at the end.
Then the beginning of Tyler's set.
Then here's Tyler's set, I actually think I missed the first song... but whatevz.
Amazing set. I was pretty awestruck. You've come a long way since This Barrel to Hazel buddy! No joke though man, better every time I hear you play, amazing stuff.
Then chilled for a little while longer and eventually took Kim home and had some nice talks, despite her drunk-nyquil-bronchitisized self. I sort of realized that I rarely ever think about the reasoning behind the judgements I make, or the thought process I go through when determining whether or not I like someone, or dislike them, or anything for that matter... which was kind of alarming. I got into thinking about it a lot more since then and I came back to some recurring thoughts I've been having lately about originality and the reason behind my actions and my overall motivation to do the things I do, say the things I say, etc. Lately I've been thinking a lot about how much I crave attention, and how I feel like I say a lot of the things I say just so someone hears me say them, as in nothing I really say or think is a thought of my own. I like the things I like just to be able to tell people I like them, that type of deal... it's weird because now I keep racking my brain and even writing this right now feels like I'm sharing it with all of you just so you hear me say it. I can't really tell how much merit this has, because I don't really know what drives me to do things or say things, so assuming that what I just wrote is true would be just as stupid as assuming anything else. I don't know. I don't want to second guess myself more and more as a result of this, but I do need to give this some more thought for sure, because I hate feeling like I have nothing to call my own, and I hate questioning my own character, which has been happening a lot lately. This is a hard thought to capture, but whatever.
Also, lastly, in regards to last night, Kyle's situation really just reassured my theory about girls. I seriously (and yes, this is cynical, but I'm not being funny or pessimistic,) think that in order to have a girl like you, you can't like her. This is just for a certain type of girl, and obviously once you engage in a relationship with a girl things are different, but I'm talking about the very beginnings. It's seriously disgusting how true it is that we all love challenges, and I am so guilty of it myself, historically and presently. I can chase a girl forever and unless there's some random happening that shifts me into a stronger emotion, as soon as the girl shows affection, I lose interest. This, which I previously assumed to be true of just guys, is arguably more true of girls. Girls love guys who don't give a shit. And what sucks is, that you can't really fake this, nor should you try really... and what sucks more is that, since you can't fake it, the guys who don't give a shit, genuinely don't give a shit, so it doesn't matter either way to them. It's like an eternal spiral. This all sounds really douchey, but the situation I'm referring to is a perfect example and I'm not gonna use names right now because I haven't asked him if it's cool, not that anyone reads this hahaha, but, the girl was obsessed with him, and they were sort of together, but he didn't care at all, thus the relationship was sort of nothing to him. He would have felt no different if this relationship didn't exist. So, he is in no gain or loss. At some point, he gets feelings, and then she starts to lose interest, and now he gets upset that she's not the same as she was when she was chasing him. This sounds a lot more trivial in writing, but in my head this was a pretty important thought. FUCK YA'LL. Alright, enough with this shit, let's talk business, acquire more currency, disregard bitches. TYLER THE CREATOR RIGHT THERE. No, but seriously, the world of attraction and emotional connection is a fucking shitshow to me and I will never grasp it completely, that's pretty much all I'm trying to get at here. Whatever, I'm tired, and I'm eating more pizza.
Goodnight.

Sick day off and a lot of potentially cool things to record that I didn't have my camera for...sucks. Kyle came over and we went food shopping which was a blast, then I got some sweet new tee's and shoes and some high socks at the mall and ordered a fresh new hat. I'm definitely gonna spend too much money on clothes this summer but whatever, today was my mum's treat so I haven't started that yet. Lavelle picked us up and we met with Nucci at wings and had a nice meal, then met with Seligman and his girlfriend Jen who was nice. Hit up Denny's and chilled and then it was just me and Nucci and Lavelle back at my place. Got a frisbee and went to the armory to toss, and these three girls were walking past us and stopped to tell us that they had called the cops on some kids drinking, and didn't want us to get in trouble. I thought that that was pretty cool of them to warn us, but couldn't figure out why they called the cops on some stupid kids drinking at a park. But, nonetheless, cops came, and we got kicked out of our little frisbee spot, but whatever. Went to the plaza and the frisbee got thrown on the roof by accident and I had to scale a pipe and climb up and my heart was racing, haven't done any roof climbing in ages, and the top was sick and there was some nice graffiti spots that we should probably hit up this summer...
Anyway, then we all parted ways, and I went to Omar's. Bonfire chillin with Matt, Omar, Dillon, Jess, Tyler, and Ashley. Shot the shit and had some laughs, took some stupid videos where I was fucking around with lighting and stuff, it was cool. I'll post em just for Matt.
Weber, if you are watching, yes, this video is about the Web-Wham, and Ashley's apparent confusion regarding the move.
Matt was being funny and I missed it, so this is my desperate attempt to capture the hilarity.
This one I'm posting only because I figured out how to cut certain audio without actually splicing the file, and this alone got me solely excited for video editing and I want to get some decent software, so if I ever become a famous director or something of that nature, this video was the start of my career. Also, on a side note, I could've saved a lot of decent videos and posted them by cutting out awkward name drops, which makes a lot of these videos generally not presentable to the public. Although, to be honest, the awkward name drop-ees would probably never read this blog anyway but you can never be too careful hahaha.
Ummmm I had some thoughts to post but being that I'm posting May 14th's videos right now too I'll just write them in that.

Binghamton trip, never a dissapointment. Got in Wednesday night after a long day of traveling/stalling in the city, at like midnight. Chilled and waited for our ride, went back to Koke's place, Jake came and we played some basketball and chilled. Got into a heated debate regarding the character development in "He's Just Not That Into You," Katon got the whole thing on video and I hope to see it turn up somewhere soon so I can post it. Because I am right, and Scarlett Johansson is a whore.
Thursday woke up, stalled around campus for a while, got some supplies to start making the skittles vodka, did a little bit of drinking and then Ari finally picked me up to go to campus. I really don't remember what I did that day, because the amazingness of Titus Andronicus really just overwhelmed my senses. I do seem to recall drinking a little bit and hanging out at my old room, and at the bike-a-thon. Jason Kushner and his friend from Albany came down with a bottle of whiskey and we chilled and headed to the concert. Set list was perfect... They played every song off The Monitor besides Theme From Cheers and A Pot In Which to Piss. Lots from the first album too, and even a Ramones cover. The crowd was going nuts which was good because I seemed like less of a psycho. Honestly one of the best shows I've ever been to, high energy, great crowd, great set, great stage presence. They are amazing. Headed back to the apartment, watched some Curb, ate some Taco Bell.
Friday, woke up and was lazy. Forever. Eventually my and Kyle walked to campus. I ended up hanging out with Sam for a couple hours which was nice, always good company. Went back to the old room, drank some beers, Greg and Eric came over, played some stupid drinking games, then hopped on a bus home.
Saturday woke up, Dragon came over and picked me up asap. Broke out the skittles liquor which was FANTASTIC. Drank all day and had a couple too many but I was back to being good again right before Taking Back Sunday. Chilled with everyone all day, chilled at Jake's for a while, chilled at Berger's for a while. Taking Back Sunday really sucked ass hahaha I lost, my shoes, socks, and glasses. Anyway, went back to Jake's partied for a while, had a blast, went to Escape, chilled on roofs, played games, passed out. Fantastic night.
Woke up at 9:30 UGH. Walked to Salwen's, hung out there for a while, then took off with Jess. Drove to Taughannock which was beautiful as always, then went to the Ithaca commons, and got a good burrito. Then took the voyage to the six mile creek to go gorge jumping... always the best. Got some good footy, it's really hard to capture how large this cliff is haha.
Rode home, chilled out for the rest of the night with Kyle at my old apartment, watched The Machinist, Koke came home and we chilled for a little bit too. Got dropped off at the bus at like 3AM, scariest bus ride ever, most tired day of my life, but eventually made it home.
That night I went to play frisbee and met up with Mike and Tyler and Kenny, so gooood seeing everyone, haven't seen Mike or Ty in months. Me and Kenny went back to Ty's and I slept over and it was nice chillin, he's got a sick new room. Woke up, Jess came over, chilled a bit, came to my house, got Subway, then I went home. Kyle came over after a while, did a jigsaw puzzle, Tyler, Jess, Omar, Kim, and Mike came over and we chilled and told stories and all cuddled up while watching an episode of "Secret Life," which is the worst thing in the entire world.
SUMMER 11 BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
