waiting for the summer rain

Yesterday I hung out with Carmody. We went to CS in Encinitas and then to his friend's house. We talked for a long time and then went back to Carmel Valley. *$ and A. We talked with her for a while. I dropped Carmody off and went to V's house. Mishka stopped by and we went to the beach and stuff. Yesterday==talking lots.

Today I drove around with Aditya and Robert. We picked up A and went to Paul's house. We listened to music and talked for a long time. Mishka went with Aditya, Robert, and me to see War of the Worlds. It was cool. I had CS again today. Go source!

Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane

three little birds, sitting on my doorstep

I had fun with Carmody yesterday. Cheap pizza and cliffs. I worked for 7 hours in the yard mostly shoveling dirt. I went to dinner with Stoy at In N Out and then we went to Paul's house. Saw the red tide glow more than I've ever seen it. It was blue. There was a green dead humingbird outside our house all day while I was shoveling. I think someone disposed of it finally. Yesterday night I was the bird. Today I was the window. I don't know why I was the bird before but I no longer am. I've had songs stuck in my head and changing like mad. I'm listening to Karn Evil 9 at the moment. I'm obsessed with the show.

Now due to a construct in my mind
That makes their falling and their flight
Symbolic of my entire existence,
It becomes important for me
To get up and see
Their last second curves toward flight.
It's almost as if my life will fall
Unless I see their ascent.

everything all the time

I went to lake San Vincente with Jeff, Mishka, Sam, and Jeff's dad today. I got sunburned pretty bad, especially on my legs. I don't have as much of a farmer's tan on my arms but I have a burn tan on my legs now. I heard lots of different music today. BOC, Steppenwolf, Queen, CCR, Pink Floyd, AD/DC, Eagles, Beatles, Doors, etc. I had so many songs stuck in my head throughout the day. mmmm. I'm still going to miss everyone. I hope I see some people I haven't seen much of. I'll probably be saying goodbye until I actually leave. Until then I'll have too little time on my hands. I don't know if that is worse than having too much time on your hands.

the curious incident of the night-time is a good book. I think there is something in it almost everyone can relate to. There are so many parts I'd love to quote but I'll quote the part I just read from chapter 181 (there aren't that many chapters).

And sometimes when I am in a new place and there are lots of people there it is like a computer crashing and I have to close my eyes and put my hands over my ears and goan, which is like pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL and shutting down programs and turning the computer off and rebooting so that I can remember what I am doing and where I am meant to be going.

don't know when I'll be back again

I worked for 5 hours in the yard today and 4 yesterday. I spent the rest of the day with Stoytcho. I went to Souplantation and then walked with Mishka. Sensations and memories good. I'll quote again.
I got to hotels
Tear out the walls
I make accounts
Pay for it all

I'm going to a lake tomorrow with Jeff, Mishka, and Sam. Saturday I'm working in the yard and I'm busy basically everyday after that doing various things until July 3 when I am leaving on vacation until July 10. Basically I'll see everyone July 10. :(. I'm going to miss all of you. I'll be free from July 11 till August 6. I'm leaving August 7 for about a week to Catalina and then I'll be back and free again. I can't wait till Street Scene but I still have to get tickets!
Well, I’ll wrap myself in cities I travel
I’ll wrap myself in dreams
I’ll wrap myself in solitude
But I wish I could wrap myself
In thee.

Just close your eyes, no way to lose

Yesterday: all my troubles
I hung out with Will for most of the day. We ate at In N Out and saw V and her friend. Then we came back and saw Carmody for about an hour. I went to a Foreigner concert at the fair with Mishka last night. We ate Tasti Chips. I love the Sparklette's stand. The concert was amazing. The lead singer and backup guitarist are new and they are both younger and more energetic than the rest of the band. The lead singer acts a lot like Mick Jagger and looks kind of like Mick Jagger. The backup guitarist looks and acts exactly like Will. The song Jukebox hero was choreographed amazingly. The lights dimmed and he started singing. The lead guitarist was off stage at this point. When he reached the line "he heard one guitar" the lead guitarist runs on stage and strums the first chord. The rest of the song was amazing. They mixed part of "whole lotta love" into it somehow. They also stole a few Zeppelin "Oh-oh-oh"'s and "baby baby baby"'s. The singer reminded me of Mick Jagger and the Mars Volta singer with the way he held the microphone stand straight upside down. Greg was at the concert and Mishka, Greg, and I went to my favorite strip of beach in Del Mar after the concert. Red tide was cool as usual.

Today: we'll make history
Woke up. Got outta bed. Dragged a comb... no I didn't. I woke up really late because I was up really late/early. I went to Brian's other house which is very scary. Imagine the random chaos of my desk but a house exactly like this, but there are many elves. Elves everywhere. Everywhere. There are items such as a witch's hat, unopened and very old opened food items of various assortments. Random objects like the foot to a table and a pentium 1 cpu. I would say I love his house because of it's randomness but I hate it because of the smell and creepiness of some of the items/things and the uncleanness.

I went to Tapioca Heaven with George and Brian. I got a pineapple slush with strawberry boba. Mental tic tac toe. George, Mishka, and I drove and listened to Celebration of the Lizard while Brian was at dinner. We sat outside Brian's house in my car for a very long time listening to music while waiting for him. Walmart and incompetence. Dominos and phone fun. Tomorrow I work in the back of our yard. I want to be ready.

all I can say is that my life is pretty plain

Today I worked. Tonight I was going to play. I was going to hang with Will, Brian, and Anna and then see Star Wars but I couldn't find Will and Brian ditched us. Brian did however give me a jelly-filled donut, a full jar of peanut butter (no label but it seemed like Jiff creamy) and a plastic spoon for the use of my cellular phone. Everyone I called was busy or something. I ended up going to Starbucks and then I was going to go sit in a park and think or walk or something but I somehow ended up driving on the corner or Villa De La Valle and Jimmy Durante/Stevens when I got a call from Paul/Brian/Michael. I met them in Leucadia and then we went to the Encinitas park for a while. Harvey Danger's Flagpole sitta got stuck in my head again today. I had already listened to it at least ten times on repeat earlier today. They took me back to the parking lot they had found me at in Leucadia and I drove to Carmel Valley, parked in the Highlands, and proceeded to walk. I called Carm (who didn't answer) at about 12:03 and decided it wasn't a good idea to call anyone else when I realized what time it was. I walked to the elementary school and saw three cameras (two of which saw me). I sang No Rain while walking through the park. I sat in a hole in a wall that was very comfortable and then called Jeff. I walked through the apartment complex while talking to him and I saw the outside of a friend's house and decided they were probably asleep also since it was about 12:20 at this point I think. I walked all the way through the complex to the second half of the complex where I had to jump a fence connecting them. I called a very random person I know from his blog. I walked through that and ended up at the middle school where I saw a patrol car. I walked down the road and saw another patrol car in the apartment complex I was just in. I went back to the Highlands and picked up Nick in 20 seconds notice to take him home. There is a flag I placed in a pole on the way there.

But where were the spiders when the fly tried to break his balls?

Here I Am, Look around around around around

Wednessday I think was when we unexpectedly showed up at a house. Thursday I hung out with V and Will after seeing the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I climbed all over stuff at the park we went to. We ended up seeing David, Phil, Kristen, Anna, and Carm.

Friday was lots of fun. Souplantation. Graduation. I left with Taylor when we couldn't find anyone for a while. We saw Will there and he came along with us. Highlands and two houses. Breakfast at 3am and Family Guy. I slept at Carm's house. That was fun. Saturday I hung out with Brian. Then we got Mike. Then Paul. Red tide was cool. I have all sorts of stuff stuck in my head. Now I'm Here. Bright Eyes. Cigaro. etc.

I was a fool
You were my friend
We made it happen

Quaint.

This was an interesting weekend. People are awesome. I love people. For some reason I really like the rhyme/song Away in a Manger. The song Throw Away Your Television by RHCP was stuck in my head since first period Friday till Saturday at noon. I was singing that and Celebration of the Lizard by The Doors on and off for hours. Rocky was fun. LBJ played Magenta. There was an earthquake this morning and I was in my half-sleep state. These are the thoughts that went through my head: "Why the hell is my dad shaking my room? Wait... he couldn't shake my room, it's an earthquake. Yay this is the first earthquake I've woken up for. I feel safe." It's a repeat. And it's getting old.

And all the children are insane

I've been doing stuff this week. I need to do more stuff. I should reall do certain things more often and then I can put some time aside for enjoyment. I procrastinate on the wrong things and make things bad. The Blue Bus is Calling Us. I need to close the doors a bit but keep them slightly ajar. I think I'm quoting something I once thought when I think "do you desire" and "set afire"... oh wow it's coming back. An old poem. It must be in my blog archives. This is the post. On the positive side I got to see A and V today. Rocky is friday and the ZZ Top concert is sunday. The end of laughter and soft lies. Sweet desire. Lazy fire.

Like some cat from Japan!

Friday and saturday were so fun. Friday I got to see Anna's cat which was somehow dubbed Satan because of it's cuteness but I think that was from a side chat with V and Potato maybe. Well... cat, spaz, satan, or w/e. It is so cute. It's a light grayish-almost-blue color and it's so small. Anyways... the rest of friday I was at a 2600 meeting. That was fun. I think David, Dana and Roland may be going to Rocky next time. I posted on my moblog only once while I was there yet there were many things worth quoting.

Saturday I woke up early and took the SAT I. I think I did well compared to how I normally do on the practice ones. I came home, did chores, and somehow managed to convince my parents to let me go to a Mars Volta concert in LA just in time for Justin to come back and get me. Actually I drove up there because my van was the only car big enough to fit everyone. The concert was awesome. Now I have to download Mars Volta. They did have some technical difficulties with the instruments at the concert but it was definately worth it. Also they obviously use Macs because sometimes the big screens that show one of the camera angles zoomed in on the band would show a Mac screensaver (usually the classic colorful wavy one). David Bowie and Led Zeppelin with A/C to stay awake on the way back. We got back at about 1am. Now today I have to do homework and stuff. Next weekend will probably be even more fun though.
