This better work out...

Well here it is, the long awaited for day of the Palladium show. We're the third band out of apparently 10 to play tonight. I'm a little nervous, not a lot, but a little. I'm always a bit anxious about stuff like this, mainly loading, transporting, setup and breaking down all the fucking equipment. The guys all want me to throw away my money on getting a bigger amp, but for a number of reasons i'm holding off on that. Plus it would make the loading/ setup process that much more difficult. I've just been killing time this morning with designing my dumb website, new updates as stuff, nothing too major though. The best part about today will be when this show is done. I'll finally be able to relax. I miss my Sandy a lot right now, I wish she was coming to see me, but soon enough I'll be going to see her :)

Don't forget!!

In a way I'm lucky that I don't typically follow social trends. The way the government is using the media to drive the economy to provide revenue for their sweeping anti terror project is utterly absurd.

new web site

Well since I have been meaning to do it for some time now, I've whipped up a website. Nothing fancy mind you, just a bunch of links as of now. Aww hell, I wont keep you in suspensce any longer, you can find it at
http://cocytus.no-ip.org

so at least I've accomplished something

I finally have beatten back the forces of darkness that had invaded a PC that was brought to me for repair. There was on really nasty virus on this computer that really got itself in deep. Who knows where it exactly came from, but probably for the owner cruising for pr0n and blaming it on his kids. Nice try. Hopefully this keeps me going a little longer.

DeeDee's Lounge take 2

So we had our second show at deedee's last night, and we ripped it up. But unfortunately we had to compete with ozzfest, so basically we put on a show for the other bands that were playing. We head lined, which was kind of cool, but going on at 11:50pm is weak. Oh yeah, and it's always fucking impossible to get back on 93N from inside boston, took us at least 40 mins to get through all the detour BS. Got home at about 4:30am, and I'm pretty wiped out still.

a big fuck you goes out to KSC Student Finalatial Services

I can't believe the bullshit I had to wade through this afternoon to get SFS to admit that they omnipotent computer was fucked up. They claimed that I had not submitted a FAFSA to them, when in fact I had done that on 1/26/05. Hmm... So then it was that there was a problem with the information I entered, and not there wasn't. Well then it had to be some error with the processing and I had to call the FAFSA people up and have them sort things out. Because basically there was no way on earth it could EVER be the college at fault (a dubious claim considering they weren't able to look up my information for the past 2 days since it wasn't "working at all right now"). So I called fafsa, and they confirmed what i already knew, the fafsa was submitted, completed, with out error and totally ready for ksc to download. They suggested that I get sfs to call them directly, and when I explained that to SFS, they very heatedly told me that there was no way they were going to call them, and that I had to produce some "DRN number" in order for them to verify my fafsa. Back on the phone the fafsa folks directed me to my number, and so i called the sfs idiots back. And guess what?! just guess.... that's right, they're fucking computer system didn't get my information and they had no idea why, how strange. I did this shit for like and hour and a half, wtf is so hard about admitting your faults, unless you already knew it and were too fucking afraid to reveal them?

what a let down

I sit around here all day waiting to see some people, and they just never give me a call. Finally I find out they are out at some party and wont be back untill wicked late. Good thing I waited for them. It's fun being blown off by people, it's my hobby apparently.

the purge begins

I've got to clean the shit out of my room more often. This is rediculous. I managed to find what initial appears to be a lot of stuff to get rid of. However, upon closer inspection you'll find I still have about 15 metric tons of crap to clean out of here. I'm such a pack rat, it's all my dad's fault. He's the king of that kind of thing. Oh well, it's a rainy day, what else would there to be doing? I'm getting kind of excited / nervous about the next two shows that we've got coming up. Perpetul Winter is becoming more popular with every show we play and now, not even a year after we've all been together, we're plaing the Worcester Palladium! Holy shit!

I'm beat

So my parents wanted me to go to a flea market with them this morning, but of course they wanted to head out far too early for a saturday morning. I had a horible time trying to get to sleep last night. I couldn't help but lay there and let my mind race about tons of rediculous things. I just got in from mowing the lawn too, my hands are still viberating, hehe. I was lucky enough to get an award notification from the college today saying that I qualified for a $1500 scholarship. That pretty much made my day as you could imagin. I think I'm going to nap now or something

We rocked all night long

So on the 29th we went down to Club Octane in Worcester Mass to play a gig. The place was decent and had a prett good turn out. Our set was only 4 songs but we ripped it up. What's that you say? You want pictures? Ok, go to Return to the pit to see a bunch of them. \m/
