"There is nothing left to say that has not been said."

I heard this in Trail of Dead's song "Mistakes and Regrets." But the fact is, this has been said before it was said by Trail of Dead. And was probably said before that, and will be said after I say it. It seems like my life as of now can be summed up in that one line. It has become the saying that I hold next to my heart the most now, right above "What's the point?"

Everything that I could write about has been written about before; different characters, same story. This holds true for everything; my life, my writings. There is no new ground to break, only different ways to traverse it.

And all the great artists, writers, musicians had to accept this fact. Trail of Dead did, and still wrote a song that I could relate to, even though what it was saying had already been said. Maybe I need to just succomb to this fact and go with it. But I just can't yet.

All that has gone on in this journal of mine, has happenend to someone else, with different circumstances and different names. This could be the wrong idea or attitude, but I think it's the truth. The whole world seems to abide to this aformentioned saying.

Record reviews always compare the reviewed record to another one from the past, noting how it sounds like some other band or artist. People leave movies and talk about how the writing was very "Lynch-esque," or how the score was quite "Capra-like." Humans don't like the word "new", they want everything to be familiar, to be cozy. "Oh man, that new Interpol record is such a throwback to the early 80's art-rock scene. The vocalist sings like the guy from Joy Division. And the guitars are very Mission of Burma-sounding." How many reviews of records, books, movies etc. sound like that?

Everything that I have said this entry has also been said before by someone else. And one day I will have to come to terms with that.

:: Music: panthers-sexist not sexy

Hey...been trying to meet you.

Description of the past week begins now. Went to Orlando, visited UCF(pleasant surprise), slept with 43 year old, learned of my dad's almost 20-year crush on Ally Sheedy, went to virgin megastore. Bought a shitload of cd's, including such winners as:
Replacements-Tim
GYBE!-Lift your skinny fist like antennas to heaven
Clearlake-Cedars
Grandaddy-Sumday
Panthers-Let's get serious
Dismemberment plan-is terrified
Sonic Youth-daydream nation
1 mile north-minor shadows

All very good albums, save for Grandaddy's, where most of the songs sounded the same. I'm aware that all of the above information was useless to your lives. Of course, most people are useless already.

Anyways, the last week I've been working at Sandoway alot, and hanging with Noah and the Kerr family. It's been nice spending time with the "Adastra crew" like it was earlier this year. 80's bands, fat and worthless jokes towards me, and a lot of andrew's bare ass...now thats what summer's about. July 4th was nice at the kerrs. I wish I had been friends with Tucker sooner, he's an enjoyable guy to be around.

So summer is treating me well right now, which is all i can ask for i guess. Have a ball ladies and gentlemen.

stream of conscious
Stream of conscious...
chosen sweetly i fell. i fell out of your world. Drugs consumed many, not me. It wasn't the drugs as much as you lying. What made you think I wouldn't understand, wouldn't want to help. You told me that it was a plea for help, you wanted me to notice, to care but you did the one thing i asked you not to do. I read your words, your heart poured out onto this screen and it sends sharp pangs through my heart because I cared. This is probably the one thing that could tear me away from the perfection I have now found. How can I be so happy yet still feel obligation. Maybe I still care... I shouldn't. Conflicts of the heart yet I know what I'm doing is right. I have waited so long for this and to lose it for something that has not worked numerous times? If we were meant to be together then it would have worked. Maybe not the first time, the second, the third?? If we were meant to be together "forever" then forever would not have been terminated so soon. Maybe it was love, I really don't know. You walked out that morning, told me that when you'd said it you meant it and for how long I was screaming that inside. It broke my heart. Out of anger I acted and you walked away. I am not saying that you walked out on it because I pushed you away myself but understand, it wasn't just me. Amazing. I can be on top of the world and your words, just your words can bring me down. I must care, I guess I try too hard not to. I read what you wrote for her it was always so much more beautiful then what you'd write for me. You say that it was just lust, a fatal attraction for her and that I was "home", I was what was familiar to you but she was the prize. I don't doubt that you really did love me or anything but you never showed me. Whereas you gave her the world, you felt 100% for me yet only gave me half. You said that you would never say it if you knew I wouldn't say it back. You never knew how I really felt for you, maybe I was a fool for waiting. Maybe i'm smart. Two people obsessed with getting hurt and this is what you get. I have learned from this. I will give 100% from now on, my heart on my sleeve I will get the 100% that I deserve.
I always knew I could do better.
Why am I even thinking of this, its over, i'm happy, I don't need to do this.
Goodnight.

Disclosure: If you're reading this and have to question if this is for/about you then you're wrong and its not. If it was then you'd know. Thats all.

:: Music: Timb stuck in my head heh

i don't even know where to start...

i'm so numb with ecstasy (no not the drug, just the feeling) right now...

i'm going to say it and most definately mean it this time for sure. I have never been so happy in my life, its been 3 weeks of seeing him EVERYDAY (literally lol) and the after glow hasn't worn off yet which leads me to believe that its not an afterglow at all but this aura that we share between us, one of complete freedom and passion.

I know that he won't read this because as he put it, he "doesn't like reading other peoples thoughts" but you know what, he doesn't have to read this to know how i feel about him.

With my heart on my sleeve, I can now finally breathe a sigh of relief...

::sigh::
<3.


PS. in unrelated news, Timb & Harold rock my world as well.... they rocked pretty damn hard tonight @ the loft <3<3

I don't want to sound bipolar, but today was great. Mom woke me up to tell me Sara had called. So I called her back, and soon enough Ian, Austin, and her were at my house. After I got some pants on, we rolled. Did some thrifting, because we are that punk rawk. Then we saw Devin and Anca driving in boca, so we followed them and Ian got their attention. Hung out with them for a little bit, twas nice. Anyways, we went bowling after we ran into the heavy metal guy outside the candle shop. Much fun was had, even though I was horrible. After hanging out at Sara's, which was fun, if only for the line "wait, you're brother is named Gerard?", which had Austin inexplicably almost shit himself, I was back at my house. My mom and I smoothed things over, which I hope is permanant. Then the family had some KFC, which was quite bitchin.

So, anyways, I'm quite happy right now. It was nice to spend time with 3 people I severly needed to spend time with. Much thanks to them.

And I will see you at the movies.

Hi, my name is Vivi.
I got a speeding ticket.
Worst night ever.

Yeah. that just about sums up how i feel right now.

funny story though...well maybe not so funny if you weren't there but proves how small of a world it really is...

okay. well this took place during my break tonight at work. Vicky (one of my coworkers) came in with her brother, Dan and his girlfriend Kassidy who are both back from college for the summer. I got a bagel and sat down with the 3. As I sat down I realized that Vickys brother had long, curly hair very similar to Gregs..(us girl freaks talk about hair ALLLLLLL the time heh) sooo as i got up to get a magazine from the rack i pointed to Dan's head and stated "Greg has hair like this" and walked away. When i returned, Vicky asked me what Gregs last name was which i replied "Pishko" and all 3 of them burst out laughing. Very confused I asked what was so funny and Vicky explained that after i'd left, Kassidy said that she had gone to school with a kid named Greg Pishko who had hair like Dans sooo they were all tickled that it was the same person :0) Sooooo it turned out Kassidy graduated IB in 2002 and knows Greg & everyone else. We had a great hour of bonding over FOOLS stories and band stuff (Dan used to be in Jaded at the Swingset) soooo it was really cool.

yeah. thats all.

oh yeah. I saw Greg all this morning which made my day despite all the crapiness <3

hes soooooooooo wonderful. really.

:: Music: eddie murphy-party all the time

Whatever happenend to the Breakfast Club? I mean, the film ended happily enough, with the group of different kids feeling a connection with each other. But what became of them in the next few weeks, months, years? My guess is that they maybe met together as a group one, maybe two more times, definitely in their earlier years. Then they grew apart, forgetting about that bond they shared. Anthony Michael Hall became a millionaire, Molly Ringwald a housewife. Ally Sheedy stopped being a crazy girl and joined the working world, Emilio Estevez came out of the closet. And of course Judd Nelson died. But this isn't the real point of the entry; I got to thinking what will happen to my friends and I. Since I obviously can't tell, I will do the smart thing and predict what will happen, as urged on by Holly. Wackiness will ensue, and we will learn a lesson.

So to begin this pointless experiment, I think I will take everyone's favorite silent kid, Noah "The Bear" Garbarino. Since he's already shown proficiency at staying in a long relationship, he will most definitely marry early, probably a girl he met in college. No kids. Working as an insurance guy or something. He will have a grizzly beard, and will be the same old guy. Silent to strangers, funny as hell with his friends. Ten bucks he gets knifed in a carjacking.

The older Garbarino, Ben, will be a different story. I think he'll make it as a jazz musician, touring with many bands. He will marry much later in his life, after much searching. I'm going to out on a limb and say he may, just may, go bald. Just throwing that idea out there. Probably will open up a daycare center when he hits 65. Then he will drift off in his sleep one day.

Ian, obviously, will become one of the leaders in the "penis stand-in" business. He will probably get gonorrhea at an early age and thus live a tranquil life. He will live in California and bike a lot. He will have one kid, and teach little Obi-Wan Knabe to skank like no one has skanked before. He will fall off a cliff, or something crazy like that.

Sara B. will probably go to college and join a sorority. After getting filled-out more times than an college application, she will graduate with a degree in marketing. She will find true love in an Indie film director, and they will become one of Hollywood's it-couples. She will squirt out a few kids in her early 30's, and then settle down in Carolina. She will have a weave. And then one day she will get breast cancer, and like the fucker it is, she will succomb to it at the age of 83.

Cary will keep it real as a freelance writer/cheerleader coach. He will continue to be cynical until he has a little girl through a one-night stand. Not wanting his kid to hate the world as he did, he will make an honest effort to conform.However, he will never buy one of those mini-American flags to stick on his SUV.

Dave will work his way up the NFL ranks using his knowledge from Madden and become the first Canadian Jew-Fro'd general manager of the Falcons. Never will marry, just will have plenty of whores. He will die in a pool of his own urine.

Holly will find a chicken head in her bucket of KFC one day and win a huge settlement. She will use this money to buy Ebony magazine. There will be a huge flow of "Chocolate milk" in her bedroom at night. She will then be capped in a East coast/West coast crime.

Andrew will be in a lot of bands from age 20-35, scoring minor hits as a drummer for Two Tickets to St. Paul and Tomorrow is After Today. He will then drop the sticks and write the musical "Crotch-Fire!!!" which will become an Off-Broadway hit. His shaggy hair and loveable smile will be with him till the day he dies.

Keith will shave the fro off after high-school and concentrate on his studies, becoming the most successful Kerr in the field of breast pump production. He will marry a Polish lawyer and have 6 kids. All will be fatasses. He'll eat one too many cheeseburgers, and will have a heart attack at age 53.

Krystal will go sXe and be a yoga instructor. She will be a new age freak and practice free love. This free love will lead to a bout with the Herp. Luckily, Herpes is a curable disease in the future. However, she will get hit by a car after she gets her final treatment for the disease. She will be remembered by her friends as a sort of African American Madonna, only less of a slut.

A.J. will die of a heroin overdose.

Vivi will be a successful business woman, and will marry a 50 year old writer as a young woman. Since he will already be shooting blanks, she will have no children. But many would say she lived the most enjoyable life of us all.

Shane will be drafted and die in 'Nam.

Austin will go to college and become one of the coolest kids on campus. He will also marry the girl of his dreams. They will have two kids, who adore him. He will then bite it in a ski accident. Fuckin ski-lifts.

Abby will become a big underground novelist, writing mostly tales of young girls coming to grips with life. She will do cocaine, but only to enhance her writing skills. Most days will conclude with her dancing to Van Morrison records on her patio. She will probably die, i dont know how.

And for me, Drew? I don't know. I will probably get a degree in Creative Writing, and fail at doing what i love. I will retreat to doing some sort of worthless job. Hopefully i will marry a girl i truly love, but who knows? I will drink White Russians constantly, and may have a kid or two. I don't really want to think about my own death, because I am not a fan of thinking of such things.

I'd like to think I will keep in contact with all of you, and you will keep in contact with each other, but only time will tell.

Hopefully this provides some enjoyment for all of you.

finally a good apple...
it has probably been awhile since i've really updated...(sorry!)

I do have a good explanation i swear! haha

well... i'm extremely content with just about everything right now.. its summer, i love my job and one of the best guys i've ever met likes me, really likes me and its just perfect...

i spent over 2 hrs talking to him tonight, both of us clarifying how we felt about eachother and stupid little questions we had for eachother...

my conclusion would have to be that Ben is right, he IS going to be the good apple of the bunch.. finally a guy i can be with and not have that uncomfortable feeling of "i can do better".

He makes me so happy...

PS. thank you to BenFranklin for lunch/4:30 dinner today, that made me equally happy as seeing Greg <3 heh no competition here, just love.
You mean the world to me Sr.Garbarino<3<3

I was going to write a short story, but I'm too tired right now. So I'll just pool together some random thoughts. Deal with it.

I deleted the long post describing my cruise, and I don't know why. I have been deleting a portion of my journal entries, mostly lists and older, pointless entries. Whatever.

I had basically the first interaction with my friends since school got out Saturday night. Krystal and Arianne picked me up, and drove me to Noah's. On the way there, we got lost a few times, I talked to Shane on Krystal's phone, and an old man threw a pack of cigarettes into the car. Even though I knew cigarettes make you cooler, get you chicks, and help your billiard skills, I decided to not take a puff. The Garbarinos was nice as always, catching up with Noah and getting thoroughly beaten in Mario Kart 64.

Watched Old School with my brother, and was surprised at how funny it was. I think it's because the lead actors are so good at playing one character. Will Ferrell-Crazy slightly dim-witted guy, Luke Wilson-Cynical straight man, Vince "Doubledown" Vaughn- Asshole.

Right now, my relationships with peopleare quite varied. My mom and I are at each other's throats daily. She hates my clothing, my ways, my everything. I hate the fact that she hates the aforementioned things. It's ashame, because I don't want to fight with her at all, maybe we can work out our differences. On the other end, my brother's girlfriend and I are starting to bond. I don't know if she hates me or likes me, but I have been very friendly to her and learned a lot about her the past few days. And when it comes to my friends, I have no clue. I feel like I've had too few conversations with the handful of people I really want to talk to. I have also grown apart from lot of my friends, I feel. I have no exact reason why, but maybe this can be changed with hanging out with them.

I think it has come to a point when I'm happiest when it's late at night, and I'm just zoning out on my bed listening to some music. I think it may be the music or the moment, but I own it, and I never wanna let it go. (Lose Yourself reference: check.)

Whatever you do, dont watch VH1's list of the gretest songs of the last 25 years. It's so fucking horrible. I advise you to watch MTV2's Subterranean show on Fridays instead. For one hour a week, I have that thrill that many people felt long ago of seeing my favorite bands' videos. Just for showing El-P's brilliant Stepfather Factory video makes them winners in my book.

I think I may just start listing the top ten songs on my mp3 playlist right now, in no particular order. Maybe you will be inclined to listen to them, but I have a feeling that the majority of you reading won't.

1. Rhett Miller- Wave of Mutilation (pixies cover)
2. Blind Wllie McTell- Kill It Kid
3. Smiths- Pretty Girls Make Graves
4. Bob Dylan- Hurricane
5. Cat Power- Names
6. Coldplay- The Scientist
7. Phantom Planet- Sombody's Baby
8. Elliot Smith- Ballad of Big Nothing
9. Songs:Ohia - Two Blue Lights
10. My Morning Jacket- I Needed it Most

Well, I'm tired now.
