cool day

2004-04-29T02:36:56Z

yea so today was great. i had a really easy school day: math, science, english, and history went really quickly. In choir, Boemz mad all the people line up by section and sing by ourselves for one of the songs. I went up with Sarah Me and Anna and when we finished, Boemz was like, "That's how the song actually sounds." So i guess we did a pretty good job. After school i went to the fair and saw a bunch of people. I hung out with Danielle most of the time and it was really cool. We talked about a lot of stuff and just chilled. (literally... it was pretty cold). That's it for today

Joe

P.S.: HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACEY!!!!! I hope you enjoyed the bawls.

HI DANIELLE!!!!

not that bad

2004-04-27T01:45:17Z

you know.. i had a revelation today. I have a really good life and am not gonna do anything to mees that up. I was talking to my uncle and he was explaining his childhood and how he had a horrible relationship with his father and didnt really have too many friends. It made me really upset to hear this and continue to complain about these little things in my life. I realized today that i dont need a girlfriend, i dont need a relationship, i have a great circle of friends and i'm not gonna fuck that up with one little crush. you know.... these are the best friends i ever had. I'm close to all of them and dont want to lose them. So basically.. i am over my little "i need a girlfriend" phaze and i'm gonna live my life to the fullest it can be lived.
anyone who reads this if you wanna comment go ahead but i think im gonna start a new lj. no more sad entries unless they are really necessary. my lj is gonna be up to post good times in my high school life. i learned about my life and i'm happy to be living it how i am right now. I might update again but who knows. Im gonna start a new journal soon.

so here's the great conversation alan and i had while watching POTC at my house today.

It was the scene when Elizabeth finds out about the pirates curse.

Alan: But, if they all got the curse because they spent the Aztec gold, how did the monkey get cursed.
Joe: Maybe it was bought with the Aztec gold and became cursed.
Alan: No. The monkey probably spent the gold on something.
Joe: Maybe the monkey just got cursed because it was a possession of the pirates.
Alan: Or maybe... the monkey spent some of the gold on some pleasurable monkey love.
Joe: What?
Alan: Pleasurable monkey love. Like the pirates spent some on pleasurable pirate love.

Lol i dunno. i found the conversation to be very funny. Yes we are insane.

Joe

too quick...

One year

a year passed today....

a year since i heard to words fall out of jay t's mouth

a year since i saw the tears of my friends and my own rolling down everyone's cheeks.

a year since i sat in history alone praying that it wasn't true

a year since i took that long walk to my house trying to hold in the tears.

a year since i sat up in my attic crying for hours.

no one could understand how it felt on that day. to hear that a great friend, just 15 years old, was ripped away from this earth. it wasn't his time. he had so much to give to other people. his humor, his talent, his smile, his laugh that seemed to brighten any room. Our guitar talks, inside jokes, quartet practices, and all our other memories. I miss him more than ever.

Rest in peace Jordan Lee Fish

The saying means so much more to me now than it ever did before...

"Only the good die young"

joe

people really suck

2004-03-19T13:01:06Z

so apparently someone talked to someone else about our musical rest day and we lost it. i don't have any of my shit and can't do any work today. i only got about two hours of sleep and i'm really out of it. people are shitty. thats all i can say

I can't believe i'm typing this

2004-03-17T00:02:33Z

STU & STUART

so here's the pitch.....

It's a parody of Jekyll and Hyde starring Stu Maslow.
Stu is a cook trying to become the best fry cook ever.
He goes to the Board of McDonalds and tried to become a fry cook but they say no.
He leaves and goes to the Red Rat, a restaurant, trying to buy it. He sings "This is the Restaurant" and then goes back to his kitchen.
When he's in the kitchen, he tries to create the best french fries in the world when, suddenly, the deep fryer explodes spilling hot oil all over him. The oil has some kind of chemical in it that makes him turn into STUART, a very hungry monster. He sings "Hungry" while running through the town eating everything.
Lucy is a hostess at his restaurant who sings "If someone like Stu" about her love for Stu.
The second act begins with "Spaghetti, Spaghetti" where the entire town sings about the food shortage in town.
Lucy than sings "A New Knife"
At the end of the show, it's Stu's wedding, but at the party, he turns into STUART when he sees all of the food. He begins to eat and suddenly stops.
He chokes on a pretzel, falls to the floor and dies.

interesting isn't it

yup

2004-03-16T23:51:51Z

yea so ive had a pretty good day today. it started snowing and we had to end practice early cause of tech problems and the weather was starting to get a little intense. We only got through Engagement Party so it was kindof a wasted practice. i got home and had to shovel so i'm kinda tired now. but besides that i'm good. Tomorrows the dress rehearsal and the show starts on thurday. AAHH!!!
thats about it for now.

Joe

sigh

2004-03-12T01:20:08Z

im friggen tired as hell. practice was killer today and i really need sleep. I finished running the show with the other understudies. it was fun but singing is so damn tiring. I sang "confrontation" and was sweating like hell. oh well the understudy show will be great so whatever. sarah ashley and noah are all great. it'ss be a lot of fun. that's it for about now. i'll update later.

Joe

yep

2004-03-07T23:29:07Z

so today was...ummm...interesting i guess. i did a lot today though so i feel good about that. i went to costco with my mom at like 10 to get a cake and some water. then we went to my grandmothers for dinner and after that i went to best buy to buy a camcorder for my mom. i got my dad's b-day gift while i was there too. then we went to Barnes & Noble and i got anna's b-day gift. my mom went out with my aunt so i am now home alone. so im free for a few hours. today was good altogether. YAY GOODNESS.

E MINOR!!!!

joe

silence and lots of it

2004-03-05T01:10:12Z

yea so....i lost my voice. hence the title of the entry. besides that, today was pretty good. the last day of testing was easy but went for way too long. an hour for an essay!? i was done in 30 damn minutes!! oh well. i type that a lot. i just realized its in like all of my entries. the rest of my day went pretty well. i didnt do that much in math and shallcross was out so we played scrabble.
practice was good too. i got to talk to some people that i thought didnt want to talk to me so that went well. nurit was being dumb again but what else is new. she really hurts my brain sometimes. anyhoo the understudies got to do some scenes and it went pretty well but i really need to sing a little more. oh well (there it is again) today was pretty good all together.

Joe

I ONLY HAVE ELEVEN DAYS!!!!

2004-03-03T00:29:43Z

Yea so today was good but i realized that my understudy rehearsal is...ohhhh....NEXT SATURDAY!! yea so i'm kinda flipping out and trying to learn all these damn lines. But i did get a really good compliment from bruce and that made me happy. He said that my Hyde was really good so that made me feel a lot better about the show.
Practice was good today too. We ran act two and did a lot of understudy stuff, although we still need to go through a lot. Me, james, craig and nick went with mrs kurzner to get suit jackets at millburn, but none of them fit any of us. damn big shoulders. Afterwards on the way back to the schol, mrs kurzner had the j & H sountrack playing and sympathy, tenderness came on. All four of us started singing and we got mrs kurzner to laugh so it was fun.

Joe

I feel stupider

2004-03-02T15:41:19Z

i just finished the hspas and it was really easy. they made me feel stuppider now so whatever. im in math so i gotta go

keith the badass

2004-03-02T02:01:06Z

Keith was really excited today and i wasnt too sure why. I talked to him and he apparently got and inschool suspension. It's funny just because it's keith and hes normally the good kid. He was late five times so they gave him iss. hes kindof excited though so whatever. GO KEITH!!!

standarized testing and its suckiness

2004-03-02T01:17:18Z

yea so i have the hspa test thingy tomorrow and i really dont want to take it. Standardized tests are pointless and really time consuming. they give you a test and say "pass this or else you never leave high school! growl!!" so they throw juniors all over the school for three days while all the other grades get to stay home until 10. damn tests. whatever im gonna do fine on them so screw you state test and i hope your children are all born with deformities (like rips on their covers and pages printed upside down)

joe is tired

2004-03-02T00:59:03Z

Today went pretty quickly but it was still a very tiring day. Practice today was good, we went through the first act and did a lot of singing. Canada was taping a bunch of stuff so me, craig and nick decided to act like asses on camera. It was fun. I hit james with nicks gavel because of sheer boredom but whatever, its just james. After practice Boheme wanted to do some understudy stuff and I had to go through the "8-page monster" (now there is no choice, this is the moment, the transformation, and alive) It was fun and i felt really exhilerated and kinda felt like a lot of stress was gone. Keith said that i was gonna go home and be really tired and he was right. My legs kinda hurt and i am exhausted. Oh well, it was fun anyway.

Joe

tomatoes, truckers, and trauma oh my!

2004-02-29T14:30:27Z

So, yesterday was good. We all went to Bennigan's and had a lot of fun. People kept walking in and out so it got a little confusing and everyone had to pay extra cause some people left without paying for their drinks. We had some new guy named mike and he seemed kinda anit-social but it was still fun. Kristine brought Adrian some tomatoes and he got really excited. Stu stole Adrians hat and started wearing it and we all sadi he looked like a trucker. Stu did a trucker voice and then Adrian started talking like a waitress, it was fun. After a bunch of us went to Stu's house and messed around with the random instruments that stu has. When Ben called and said that Harry was coming me, jill, jackie and noah rushed out of the house. Stu and Craig started beating eachother up for god knows what so i'm kinda glad i didnt stay to see it. Thats it. I had a good saturday.

Joe

arguing over italian and other things

2004-02-28T01:43:53Z

So, i just got back from my singing lessons and they went pretty well. my voice teacher, ben, is a good guy. he tells really corny jokes and is really happy when i laugh because no one else does. I'm singing some italian song now and we landed on a word that he said i said wrong but i dont think so. we had to cunsult a bunch of books and i even asked my grandfather. and guess what.... I was wrong....yup....a ten minute argument trying to prove something that was never correct. Oh well it was still had fun and we laughed afterwards.
i have practice tomorrow and then im going to bennigans with a lot of people (my mom decided to unground me without letting me know) so tomorrow will be a very fun day.

Joe
