Well, i think i have found my (and yes, you can call me totally gay for saying this) musical mate... it is devin. When he and i jam we go between playing drums, bass, and guitar. It is almost like we know exactly where the song (improvising of course) is going. I can throw myself into a downward spiral of an insane 10 beat fill which would normally make no sense in a musical situation until the downbeat which i sparatically throw in there, and he hits it with me like it was intended... i dont want to say magical, but thats what it seems like. Its like eating a burger that you feel was made specially for you, like if subway made burgers, only not as healthy, cuz honestly, who really likes a non-greasy burger? then ill pick up the guitar, and devin will move to my drums, now he is by no means a drummer, but if i just play a riff, he'll try his best to lay down a steady back beat, and he will do a more than adequet (im illiterate) job.

Well, thats really it, i have decided to start a new musical project consisting of Me, Devin, and the honorable Ritch Batch (Rick "Bringin' the Rock" Bach). It will be one of the most strange mixes of talent, ever. I, who have been mostly listening to Smashing Pumpkins, Papa Roach, and METALLICA, Devin, who has been consumed by a strange stew of Funk, Disco [Jam-air-ih-quwhy (once again, im illiterate)], and opium, and Rick, who has maintained his steady flow of punk and alternative rock influences. Whatever comes out of this fusion of shit, it will most likely be better than anything created with my original band, which wasn't terrible, until we stopped practicing. Steve Weirich will forever remain the greatest front man in the world, if he could only sing....

Well, today is christmas eve (Homegrown - Surfer Girl) whoopie... tonight i will venture to my uncles house and eat some food and hopefully accept some presents. I wish that i could just get some real cash and just finish buying shit for my drumset, i have like 3 more things to go, and they're all important. I need another crash cymbal (why only have two?) and a ride cymbal (believe me, if you know anything about drums, an 18 inch crash cymbal is only good for a ride when your a beginner) and possibly my last floor tom, which will either be an 18" or a 16" im not sure yet... soon i will have to put new heads on every drum on the set except for the bass drum, because that head is staying on until i break it... and thats a fact, jack... im leaving... good bye.

Wow, today i worked 2-10, thats a long fuckin shift. then i went home and hung out with big Steve Weirich til about 12... he then decided to leave.. and my older brothers and i decided to play some hardcore 007 Goldeneye... yeah thats right, we only have N64, and we're damn proud of it too. Pat was the force to be reckoned with, having probably been the last one to even play the game, seeing as to how chris's and my lives have been consumed with WWF (or WWE now) No Mercy, the most amazing game ever created. For christmas im hoping to get Mario Golf, and complete my game set. i dont have that many games, because i dont NEED that many games.

Last night, i saw The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and was utterly amazed... it was even better than the first. How can you go wrong with a 40min battle scene?

(Silence, no music) When it comes to the holidays, everyone tends to take a look outward.. what can one do for his fellow man (or woman... shut up)? ill tell you, no i won't... because i myself have not yet answered that question... sure you can help out at PADS or something, but that's just helping a group of homeless people who probably make more money than i do begging on the streets... or you can spend time with people... i think that's what this season is all about.. if you give someone food, sure they're grateful, but only until they are hungry again... they don't think, "Hey that kid who gave me the food 4 hours ago was really nice.. but now im hungry again.. and he was really nice." they dont think like that, no one does.. (Dave Ghrol - Everlong acoustic) and if they did, then everyone would be happy about the past and not focus on the present, or even the future..

wow.. im good.. (Foo Fighters - Everlong... yes again, the real version this time) So tomorrow is the last day before break, and there will be NO focus in class at all. Today, in math, chemistry... and history, i took a test.. which means that we're obviously done with everything that we had to finish before the christmas break began has been completed... and nick kokonas and i are going to be putting on a concert in our english and precalc classes it'll be good fun.. we're playing Everlong (figures), Wonderwall by Oasis, Closing Time by Semisonic, Interstate Love song by STP, Say is Ain't So by Weezer, and of course, The chanuka song by adam sandler.

Every week, for my theater class, we have to do this assignment entitled "Article Tuesday" its basically a current affair assignment, but pertaining to the Arts. I rarely enjoy doing assignments at all but i dont know, i just like this one. I get to have a lot of fun with these because some of them are funny. here's this weeks completely copied from Microsoft Word. Read on....

‘Harold’ Calls Glover Back to N.Y. Stage

This article is about how Danny Glover, movie star of such cinematic masterpieces as “Angels in the Outfield,” “Operation Dumbo Drop,” the many additions to the “Lethal Weapon,” and last but definitely not least, “Angels in the Backfield: a Football Miracle,” which is beyond all doubt his greatest acting work. Well now you don’t have to see him on the big screen, you can go to New York and see him act in person. Aren’t you glad? He will be returning to the play by the name, “Master Harold’…and the Boys,” in which he has already performed in this play as the character of Willie. This time, however, all the stops have been pulled, making this the most exciting play you will have ever seen, ever! Glover will be returning to the stage he once shined on as none other than Sam. “What does this mean?” you ask. It means that you should hold on to your butt because this will be the best characterization of Sam you’ve ever seen.

I think that this is just wonderful. Danny Glover, while not being in the greatest of films all the time, really became a favorite of mine for his work in “Operation Dumbo Drop” and the “Lethal Weapon” series. It’s good to see that he’s finally working again. He seemed to have a dry spell for the past two years. But now he’s back in business. Angels do exist.


Mexican Pop Star Trevi to Be Extradited

Not executed silly, extradited, or being removed from one’s country of current residence back to one’s native country. So basically, this Trevi chick was a big hit in Mexico and South America. Then she and her cohorts, manager Sergio Andrade and backup singer Maria Raquenel Portillo (Mmm… Portillo’s) decided to recruiting adolescent girls for “musical training.” This “training” ended up being sex with Andrade. Sick. All it all, their lawyers fought to keep them in Brazil when public charges were brought to them, but now the country of Mexico is filing charges. They’re screwed.

HAHA!! Now this is funny. What were they thinking? First of all, [Kevin pauses] WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???!!! Anyway, they had to have known that these kids would not have kept their mouths shut. There was no way for them to possibly get away with this. I’m not racist… this has nothing to do with racism actually… they are getting what they deserve. Sex offenders never prosper.


Wowzers, now wasn't that FUN?!

saturday night, after a wonderful jam session with one Nick Kokonas, both of us on guitars (But you play drums kevin, dont you?) not only do i play drums, but i do not suck at guitar as well, in fact, i believe i have surpased Andy Borchik ten fold, and he took LESSONS for three months, then quit and sold all his shit when he figured out that he sucked. N E Way, saturday night i went online expecting to talk to some pals of mine, and i ended up destroying a friendship. It wasn't a very long one, beginning only this summer i believe.. but a friendship none the less. any one who knows me knows who im talking about, and she obviously wouldn't want her name on here anyway. Im not going to relate the exact conversation for you, but ill give you the jist. Paul (i have no fear of using his name) was online using this girls screen name at her house, with tom. He then began to attempt to make me horny by "Coming onto me" via AIM, this, obviously did not work as soon as i noticed things that she would not say being typed, i immediatly figured out that paul was there. He continued to talk to me, and making a comment that "We just are taking a break from some rough anal" implying ANAL SEX (YEAH!) (Saliva - Always [playing now]) so of course.. me being no one else than me, i took off with a running start.... saying things like, paul, your lucky i loosened her up for you.... that was the worst thing i said, i also through in a few cracks about tom and paul as well. THEN! i asked if she was even looking at the screen, at which point whoever was typing lied and said, "No," at which point i began to give directions to paul, which are as follows, i'll try and censor for those weak at heart.

nimrod100: Tom's just sitting there isn't he?
************: hes jackin it
nimrod100: typical
nimrod100: tell ally that tom practices Bigomy
nimrod100: and that your his partner
nimrod100: but he needs another
nimrod100: and you two have chosen her
nimrod100: then procede to take out your ****
nimrod100: and guide it to her ear..
************: wise, dip shit
nimrod100: while tom at the same time, does the same thing
nimrod100: to the other ear of course.
nimrod100: tell her its called brain flossing..

Thats it, now this girl hates me, some people say that it was degrading.. and it was, but you have to think about this, hanging out with me is degrading. And if she can't take a fucking joke, then i dont even want her as a friend. There, i've gotten it all out.. and i feel MUCH BETTER... Leave you with this thought.

So, I'm failing english still, just got the latest paper back, the one i thought was at least in the slightest way decent. anyway, she's the kind of teacher (keep in mind that is IS and honors class) that expects you to have all the basics of Thesis Essay writing down cold. Now i have had a pretty sweet deal for my first two english classes:

Freshman Year: Mr. Marthaler English 01 Reg... I got a 100% in his class all four semesters.
Sophmore Year: Mr. Tierney English 02 Honors... I made it decently through while at the same time doing as little as possible and him just sort of estimating my grade by merely looking at my papers.

and now to junior year, i have not gotten anything but a D or lower on any given paper. you'd think that if this just happens to be the average grade for papers, the teacher would re-think the way she teaches... shit no. She's just going to continue to lecture us about how we have to proof read are own papers and its not her job. Then, pray tell, what is your job ms. Winokur? Cuz i'd like to fuckin' know.

Well, so, I havn't written to this blasted thing in about... no... exactly 6 days... wowzers... ya know why? Because I'm fucking grounded, my mom has been gracious enough to allow me to download some Dream Theatre (the greatest band... EVER) and has given me exactly five minutes since i last typed the word.. ever... crap... oh well, im grounded because my grades are crap, not all of them, just english (F) and Intro to Theatre (D) whatever though.. i will salvage this just as i did my broken GI JOE toys when i was younger (my older brothers were the original owners.. and had some how managed to BREAK them all.... lousy fucks..) Well, im going to go and check on my Dream Theater downloads.. Mike Portnoy (their drummer) is a gOD!!
