Here is one reason why Skrappy's should be open. Remember this is just one case and I'm sure there are more out there...

It's a Sunday night in Tucson Arizona. There is not one thing going on in this town. Nothing I called everyone I knew and nothing was happening. Me and Mike decide we should just go driving around looking for something to do. We go to Mike's cousins house and pay them a visit. We sat there for a 30 minutes or so. I got some calls went outside with them and knocked on strangers doors and almost died. He was yelling at me asking what the F*** I wanted and man I was a little scared at that one. That was enough for me for one night but it gets worse. After that we drive around some more thinking of something that we could do and of course come up empty handed. We drive past catalina state park and we decide to check that out. We start cruising down it pretty fast and see the sites and that triggered something in my head. I remembered there being a airport near this street called la cholla. We start to drive towards it with anticipations of driving on a airport. Once we get there I found the place that I remembered and I found only like a taxi way for airplanes. Then we pull up onto like a two lane road and start to drive on it when we see weird letters on the road and start to realize that we are driving on a runway for private planes. so on the second pass we decide to test out my friends car (98 Civic) and we start speeding up to only about 60. On the way up we start to see animals on the side of the runway and are amazed. On are final pass we take it up to 94 miles and I'm like let's get out of here. We start heading for the exit when this car pulls out in front of us and heads up the road and then this other guy in a van starts ramming our car but not hitting us. We were scared out of out minds we thought he was trying to kill us. He Pulls out in front of us and comes out with his pants on and hes belt not fastened and no shirt. It was a guy in hes forties on a mission to completely scare us to death. He comes up to the drivers window and puts hes arm in to grab the keys. I pulled them out and held on to them. He was like you want to go to jail? We continued to say no and that we were sorry. He did not budge at all he was telling us about how many kids he would take to jail and how the cops loved it and this just made us scared off out asses. This was going on for like 10 minutes of us saying sorry and yes sir. Then we persuaded to keep saying how sorry we were. Cause I mean we were going 95 miles on a private runway at 1130 at night. He was telling about all the rules that we broke and how lucky we are that we didn't kill ourselves or others. He ended up letting us go with us pretty much giving him our souls. usually on a night like this would be spent at skrappy's enjoying some good old Rock and Roll but we go and try something to do.  ¶ 12:00 AM 0 Comments

  After being stuck at my house all day I decided to go out and have a good time. Bryan and I met up with Darren and some of hes friends at Funtasticks and decided to play Laser Tag. Man that was some good times. Man I wish I knew what I was doing though cause it would of been way more fun. So I ended up being like 6th place on my team while Darreeenneniin won the whole thing. After that I was waiting for Mike to called but I guess he found something else to do. We decided to go bowling again. Man I went up to the lane and bowled a strike, which is a hint of what is to come. In the end I ended up bowling my best which was a 172. I guess bowling every weekend has givin' me some game. later on Adam and Tavis and Grant showed up and man was there some good times. When we were done with that we all went to Denny's and man that was just joke after joke nonstop laughing hitting on Denny's waitreses which is always the best especilly since she did not get the jokes which makes it 10x better than any other thing. Don't order the meal lovers skillet unless you want to have a stoke. That meal is packed with kill yourself in ten years juice. Anyways we went home and here I am.

  I relized today that my cable is horrible. I was over at Hunter's and I saw like ten music videos that I wanted to see and some that I didn't even knew exist. I saw a hives video, then I saw a Saves the day video (most horrible video ever) then this was the shocker I mean I didn't even see it coming it was a Sigur Ros video for the third track. I would name it but I;m to tired to go look at the cd and try to figure out how to spell it cause they arn't from around here. The video is really unique, something that I never pictured while listening to the song. They have a bunch of mentally challenged young adults (politically correct I hope) wearing white toga type things dancing around in this green environment. Later on they have like this yellow flame type guy walk around and start dancing (blind melon?) I mean this video was really trippy, I did not understand it at all if I was supposed to I don't know. Well anyhow I saw these videos on the much music channel on some special show called the wedge I believe. It was a pretty rocking show, they had the hives, at the drive in, sigur ros, all in all I wish I had some good cable.  ¶ 1:36 AM 0 Comments

  It was a sad night seeing that once again Skrappy's needs a benefit show to keep it alive. As of Freshman year I remember going to Skrappy's with Tyler and just being completely amazed by what was happening there. I've never heard of a placelike that. It never dawned on me where bands would start out. I remember seeing a bunch of awesome bands like one of my favorites Thorsh. Ever since then I loved that place. I can say that most of my high school after school life deals around that place at the blue and black building on the corner. There have been so many touring bands that roll through skrappy's and it's a shame to see it be paused. One of the best events in my life was the first time my old band played up there. I believe there was only like 5 people in the place that night, but being up on stage at skrappy's was one of the most wonderful feelings. As of right now I can only hope that things get better for kathy and the rest of the skrappy's family.  ¶ 11:55 AM 0 Comments

  Guys I'm giving it five days of thought before I take down my guestbook. So it might be the last of it unless kids start saying how they feel about what I feel.  ¶ 1:43 AM 0 Comments

  Another night having all these hopes to hang out with Sarah once again and in the end I miss her by one minute. Yes I thought it would be cool to hang out at night but she always has so many other things going on. I mean I bet she has no clue whatsever that I'm getting agitated by the whole thing. I mean it's not really that big of deal if you think about it. To me it is though, she always wants to hang with my but I never see a reaction. Except for once when I hung out with her after school. Man I'm just going to ask her on the date.

Mad props to Adam! I was extremly jealous tonight after seeing two couples doing there thing while I'm on the cell phone trying to get a hold of Sarah. Way to go guys.   ¶ 1:23 AM 0 Comments

  I finally go and see the new Park Place mall. I mean it's not new new but it's new to me. So I'm expecting nothing crazy, just another mall. I do my normal shopping spots. Then I go hit Hot Topic and they actully sell descent cd's and vinyl. I never knew this. I always wondered why record companies gave such praise to Hot Topic.

After walking around a bit.... "Matt!" I turn around and it's Mindy. My ex-miss. It was really cool seeing her again. I havn't seen her for like 3 months or so. Well actully September 11th. That's a little fishy. Well anyways I'm going to lunch with her which will be fun to catch up on things. until then.

If a pig lost it's voice would it mean he got disgruntled?

  I can finally say that finals are over and it's christmas break. I get to sleep in till whenever I want. I'm so happy that I gave out good christmas presents this year that everyone can enjoy. I mean unless kids are just being nice I heard good things about it. So I completely have the christmas spirit this year and it actully doesn't feel like a drag to spend money on my friends and my family.

Alright, heres how the story goes as of now. Yesterday after I was done with school me and some friends went to Hooters to eat some good chicken wings. (they we're great!) So after that I call up Sarah and she picks up the phone. I was like hey want to go to the movies with me? She was like sure. So finally I actully got to hang with her. She is so awesome, she even knows about good music, I was acyully impressed by it. During the movie (Vanilla Sky) I was cracking all these jokes and I was making her laugh big time. When the movie was out I had to leave and she was like what are you doing tonight? So i answered I'm going up tp a concert tonight. She was alright. Then I was like I'll call you sometime and we'll get together again. I'm not going to call her for awhile cause I'm going to play it cool. I hope I don't get al excited over nothing like I have with her before.

After that I went up to Phoenix to se the Deadlines with my friend Nick because he put on that show. It was a good time. I mean those guys put on a crazy show. I also had a good time driving up there looking on the skylines and how pretty the birds were in flight. The sun glistening on the mountains blah blah bla. Why I just did that I don't know. I thought it was funny since I can't write and I thought it was sounding good with the skyline and then I relized that I'm not a poet. I'm a informer of how Matt can't get chicks.

oh yeah if anyone wants a band name try Lucid Dream.  ¶ 9:17 PM 0 Comments

  Nothing is like studying for three hours for a physics test when you know you are going to bad anyways. I mean what's the point? I hate it. I don't want to do with anything that has to do with physics when I'm older. I want to tour the country in a can with kids making music, or signing my own bands to my own record label, or record someones elses music onto a cd. Not physics. Why do we have to have these requirements for college? I mean I don't have anything to do with it. There is other kids in my class who just get it and I'm stuck in the back wondering when class can get out.

What's with girls pretending that they want to hang out with you and yet they don't? I hate it. Then everytime she talks to me I'm like ohh alright and I fall into the same trap all the time. I need to stand my ground but if not I'll just make out with her and that will change her mind. SO yeah.

One more note on a serious side. I'm going to feast myself to Hooters on wed. It's going to be great. Nothing but girls that flirt with me and good eating.  ¶ 8:53 PM 0 Comments

  The Results...

First Girl-----> Stephanie. Want to go to a show with me tonight? I would but I can't go.
Second Girl---> Eryn. Want to go to a show with me tonight? I have a soccer game. (She's super cool so I knew she was telling the truth)
Third Girl--> Amanda. Want to go to a show with me tonight? I would rather go out a kick a few. She's a friend that I have reacquainted with.

So according to the rules my hair did not help.

Wait this just in...

I called Sarah and she wanted to go but again it was the same as last time.(I'm not calling her unless she calls me and tells me she wants to hang)

Third Girl ended up being at the show.
>>>>>>*<<<<<<

  Do you think more chicks will come my way now that I got my hair trimmed?

The challenge...

Tomorrow I will ask some girls to go to a show with me. If it works in less then three tries I'm a winner.
If it takes more then that the hair didn't help.

Three Rules.

1) No one that are good friends of mine.
2) No one that I don't know.
3) No one that has a boyfriend.

Let's Go!  ¶ 8:10 PM 0 Comments

  Four concerts one week. Monday The hoods and Ringworm. Wednesday Thrice and Piebald. Friday Rufio and Table for One. Friday Finch. Ok maybe only three.  ¶ 10:30 PM 0 Comments

  Well nothing is more fun than studying for a physics test you are going to fail. One hope is that you get points for memorizing newtons three laws of physics. So I'm planning on getting maybe a 14/50. Better then my 2/50 last time. So maybe it will bring up my grade. I also have to watch a movie tomorrow for history and write a 5 paragraph essay on it. I have a report due on monday that is worth a 150 points of my grade for english. I'm feeling so much stress for school work this week and it is really starting to get annoying. I just want to lay back and so nothing. I guss it's all worth it in the long run cause I don't want to work a pointless job somewhere for the rest of my life.

Tomorrow I'm going to see Burning Troy who are playing with a Piebald so that should be some rockege!

man my blog has been sucking lately  ¶ 7:05 PM 0 Comments

  Man this weekend was full of parties everywhere I went there was a party. Except at my house. Friday there was after formal parties, Saturday Nick had a party and then Tonight there was a party at work. It was actully a huge party. I mean it was like formal for all the employees and I completely forgot about it. All my co-workers had hot dates and man if i would of known I would of invited my women friends and have a good old time, man does that suck. Once again I felt secluded from my own work. Which did not feel cool. I sat there with some other kids and I relized how many people I don't talk to at shereton. I mean I'm actully mad about the whole thing.

  After hearing reading, about last nights formal I'm glad I did not go. All it does is bring more confusion into the social life of high school. It's all about ditching the cool people to hang out with the "cool" people. Instead I got to hang out with some cool kids and later on go to a party with some cool kids.  ¶ 2:30 PM 0 Comments

  Man it's been a wierd lazy week. I havn't done anything at all productive this week. All I've been doing is watching movies and homework and listening to music and hanging out with Nick. It's been a good week. As of tonight everyone is going to this formal and as of right now I feel as if I should go but I know I don't want to go or would have any fun there. That is something that is hard to control but in the end it is for the best. Why? I don't know but who knows. So tonight will be really boring until the after formal parties start which will be cool. I've seen my friend Nick progress at guitar so quickly and it's so awesome! I mean I get to hear hes new songs and each new one he plays completely blows me away. I hope he lays out a good cd. Tonight I also tried offering my friend Hayley if I could go to her house (she's grounded) and bring her food and hang out for the night but I guess her dad got to her first whichis cool, but atleast I tried.  ¶ 2:09 PM 0 Comments

  I didn't have to work so I took at a nap. I took the nap at 3 today and i woke up at 8 and I'm going to bed.  ¶ 7:15 PM 0 Comments

  Last few days have been really laid back. I had to work ( Sit around doing nothing while getting paid for it) so that was difficult. That was yesterday night so I missed my wife on her show, but that's cool cause it was a repeat. Then today I went to school in my car that doesn't have a windshiled wiper that was fun. Other than that, that was my day. I also saw Dreaming Ohio live in person. That was an experience I will always love.   ¶ 6:58 PM 0 Comments

  Well yesterday was a very relaxing day. I sat around house all day trying to take a break from school and just be a kid again by trying to find something to do in the house. I ended up just listening to my dad's old records. later that day Nick invited me to this party which was a good time except I knew the kids but i kept kind of quiet. During the party I called this girl Sarah whol told me to call her when she got off work. So I did that and the rest of the night it was just call her in 10 minutes then 30. In the end I just sat at my house watching "Star Wars, A new hope." The funny thing about that is that I thought she was a new hope. Actully I'm sure it's nothing but a guy is always worring about stuff like that.

As of today I sat and watched one of my favorite movies. "The Goonies." Try to find as many band names that we're taking off that movie. If your up to it name them in my guestbook.  ¶ 2:40 PM 0 Comments

  I got a girl's number. Well actully it's a friend of mines number. She is really hot I've known her since last year and I've always thaought she was really cool and fun to be around. So I saw her at Taco Bell and I was just chatting and she was like "What are you doing tonight?" I was like " I don't know, want to do something?" SO she gave me her number. I called her later that evening, and she was at work so she gave me her cell phone number but I think I wrote it down wrong. So I didn't end up doing anything with her tonight. Tomorrow is another day!

So when that didn't work out I went down down to try to see The Bled, but I missed that. So I hung with John and Seldon. That was fun because we got to make fun of all the Good Charlotte kids that were there.

For some reason Tyler is mad at me for having common sense. He planned this whole camping trip for December. Where yes even in Tucson it get's cold. I mean I told him from the start that I might not be able to make it. I thought he understood that. Then I thoughi I was going to be able to make it but they have me on call at work, and I'm starting to have a soar throat. I thought he would understand that, even I know it's a little short notice but still. If he was my friend he would understand that. We might not of hunged out lately but just cause I can't go camping doesn't mean he has to get all butt hurt over it. I mean I want ot go camping, cause I love camping except the fact that it's doing me no good to get sick especilly when I need to get my grades up at school. If my grades arn't up in school I have to pay for insurence. So this whole thing is completely blown out of preportion.  ¶ 12:40 AM 0 Comments
