My first semester in college is practically over and I am beat. I finished pledging and was initiated November 18th, 2006. I definitly screwed up this semester, but I am learning from my mistakes. I have figured out my ideal class as well. It is a class from about 60-100 people with minimal homework, but required homework nonetheless. I like a good deal of people because I hate being called out,

It's been a couple months since I posted in here so I figured I would post something. I am currently at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also pledging Sigma Chi. It was my birthday yesterday and it was alright. I didn't really get any gifts and didn't really tell many people that it was my birthday. Sigma Chi had a cookout last night with the Chi Omega's, which was fun. The food was pretty good

Why does another's optimism kill me so much?

2006-04-02T15:37:00.000-04:00

So I have had a lot to deal with the past week and a half. I won't be going into it, but a few people know what I'm talking about. I've had a lot of fun the past week and a half as well, but it was hindered by other things. It was sad to have this be my last YLA. I plan on coming down for the alumni dinner next year and possibly sitting in on some of the general assembly. It was cool to find out

It has definatly been a long time since I last posted. Drop Back Booking is now in full effect. I am booking a tour for the summer and I am planning on doing two or three local shows before that. My show for April 7th is up in the air. I had it at The Brewery but the owner of the venue gave the date away for some reason and never told me. So now I'm in desperation to find a venue and keep getting

2006-02-23T18:12:00.000-05:00

So I haven't written in here for a long time. I think the people visiting my site from New Zealand and Australia have gone down, but if your still there just tell me. Anyway, I have officially started Drop Back Booking, but I haven't officially dropped off 45 RPM Booking yet, that occurs in March. I have been writing a few contracts and such out and be expecting a lot from Drop Back Booking in

2006-02-03T22:17:00.000-05:00

So, tonight has been fairly boring, as the past few fridays have all been. I need to find a party or something cause this city is quickly getting boring to me. It seems I keep hanging out with the same people, which isnt bad, but I like to meet new people and just party it up. But even now these people who I always hang out with arent hangin out with me. I've been to enough sausage parties this

okay, so this is gonna be one of those depressing type of rants....Anyway, Ive been kinda depressed lately. I mean, I seem happy to almost everyone, but its like this mask I put on so people don't know. I just have been thinking bout so much and how everything has come together and added up. It seems everything I have ever put anything into has given me almost nothing back. Whenever there is a

2006-01-16T21:32:00.000-05:00

So, I haven't posted for a looong time. Nothing much has happened. The show went well, but I wish more people would have come, especially on a SUNDAY! I've been working a whole lot more, which is good cause it means more money. I have finished all my college apps, unless I decide to apply somewhere else as well, but it would be more of my parents wanting me to apply somewhere else. I don't know

2005-12-24T01:02:00.000-05:00

So, I got another chatterbox, even though I may have said I wouldn't. This time people should use it! YAY! Anyway, I've been getting back into stuff I used to do all the time. One of the biggest things, runescape. I saw a link to it like two weeks ago and had to see if it was different. Oh man, it's different, but the same. I've been addicted again, but I'm doing a lot better a lot faster than I

2005-12-23T16:43:00.000-05:00

It's kinda funny how trendy it has become to call things emo. Wether in a bad or good way, people seem to like to say stuff is emo. Usually the reference to something being emo is in a bad way, such as "this poem is really emo" or "I was emo today", usually saying it like emo means someone is sad. It's really funny how many people are amazingly nieve of any history of emo, or anything about the

Yesterday was just an amazing day. School was alright, which is better than usual. After school I met up with Four Year Strong and The Fully Down. I took em over to WKNC's studio for their radio interviews. I got on the radio as well to announce the prize packages for the show. After the interview I hung out with the bands and we went and got food. All of them were awesome. Then we headed over to

Wow, it's kinda sad that I have gone through two different chatterboxes, and each was deleted because no one talked on it for like, a month. I don't know if I should spend the time getting another, but if enough people say I should then I guess I'll do it. But Im sure it will just get deleted again, lol.

I haven't really updated lately. I've been working a good deal and I've been trying to get back into the groove of school. So far my classes haven't been too hard. I have an A in Latin, but we haven't had a test yet, so Im not exactly sure how well I will do. Since school began my weight has leveled off and I haven't lost anymore, but still haven't gained any. I've tried to go to the gym, but I

Paramore is so amazing. The show they put on was totally awesome and couldn't have been better. My American Heart was really good too, but I didn't like them as much as Ben and Angus did. They were cool guys though. I had to leave but lucky Angus talked to Paramore and talked to HAYLEY DIRECTLY!!! Oh man, I need to sleep.

2005-08-30T22:25:00.000-04:00

So I'm trying to do a Statistics project but my teacher totally confused me and everyone in the class that I have asked. No one knows when what is due exactly. No one really knows what to do in fact. In other news, Valencia left today, which kinda sucked cause I was hoping they'd leave tomorrow, but they want to get to Maryland early so they don't have problems tomorrow. They had fun at the show

2005-08-27T02:31:00.000-04:00

Today just got better and better and better. First day of Senior year wasn't that bad and my classes seem like they are gonna be alright this year. Then I did some booking stuff and then went to work out at the gym. After that I went to an awesome show at The Brewery, for FREE! I didn't book the show but Cartel put me on their guest list. The first band, Panic! At the Disco, was fucking amazing.

2005-08-25T02:34:00.000-04:00

I'm bored, so I'm gonna post pics of Hayley Williams from Paramore. She fuckin rules, and I meet her in less than a week, BITCHIN!For this last one it looks like she is really really small because of the lighting.

2005-08-24T00:23:00.000-04:00

I have been obsessed with a new band recently. Their name is Paramore and they are signed to Fueled By Ramen. The lead singer is a girl and it works so well. She is also beautiful, which just makes it all better. Everyone needs to check them out here.

2005-08-21T23:45:00.000-04:00

School starts thursday, Angus and I are working our asses off for the best festival to hit Raleigh, and I have no idea if I'm truly grounded or what. So yeah, quick update.

2005-08-17T00:51:00.000-04:00

As usual, summer hasn't been too promising with a good show thrown into the mix. The Dead Reckless show ruled. Roar Dynasaur was really really good, which gives me a good local band with a good draw. As for recently Kellen, Ben, and I were caught drinking. Pretty much my mom found me outside trying to help Kellen up who couldn't even get up. He hadn't passed out but he was not in control. So the

2005-08-10T01:02:00.000-04:00

So I have like two weeks of summer left and just as I had predicted this summer didn't turn out to be that great. I must admit it did get better, but not by much. I made friends with awesome bands, put myself in a whole position in the music industry, and got to chill out. Other than that there hasn't been much. This weekend should be pretty fun though. I planned a middle school reunion after

2005-08-02T00:00:00.000-04:00

Wow, no one comments. People need to comment on my shit!!! Talk in the chatterbox or something. Maybe its cause my blog is like all fucked up for some reason. Anyway, talk.

2005-07-29T23:05:00.000-04:00

I've been really bored for the past couple of days. All I have done is either worked, gone to class, or sat at the computer for hours. Angus and I are in full swing with all of our booking. Right now we are planning on doing a Festival October 29th. We are going to call it 45 RPM Hallowfest. If your band wants to play just send me an email at acidskater@nc.rr.com and call the subject "Hallowfest"

2005-07-26T16:09:00.000-04:00

So Valencia left today, which sorta sucks, but I wish them the best for the rest of their tour. They loved my house, my family, and especially my dog. Yesterday they ended up going to Triangle Towne Center with Angus while I was at work. They then came and ate dinner with my parents and apparently my dad started showing George lots and lots of pictures of George's dad and my dad. All of them

2005-07-25T02:38:00.000-04:00

Things have gotten a whole lot better since I had my whole breakdown thing. I went to my show tonight and it was awesome. Valencia was even better than I expected, and I expected A LOT! Everyone who saw their show was really into them. They really are gonna go far. Right now they are downstairs going to sleep, and then I'm hangin with them tomorrow between my class and work. I think they are

So I've gotten into Where's George. Its a website which allows you to enter in your dollar bills. You then mark them and to let people know to go to the website and enter it. Then you see where the money you entered has gone. I've gotten a bill from Florida, and I've had a bill go to South Carolina. Other than that I have pretty much just had bills stay in North Carolina.

Every turn we made he would tell me a story about something that happened there. When he got together with his best friend they acted like they were 17.

The show tonight was amazing. Another band got put on last minute cause they needed a show to play and Angus it gave them the go ahead.

Some of my friends have really pissed me off lately and I just don't know. Nothing seems to really be fun or good. I never work and I have almost no money. I just want to do something fun. I need to go somewhere and hang out with new and different people, or at least

2005-06-19T15:09:00.000-04:00

So my summer really hasnt been that great. I wish I could work more, but I am just not getting scheduled. So I have no money. I also have no car because my parents gave my sister the Honda. The subaru is broken, the maxima is my mom's, and the van is about ready to break down. I went to the show last night and I got sick of it after the first band I figured that it wouldn't get any better, but

We got in an accident and were delayed an hour, but we got to the show after the first band played. Luckily we got to see the two bands we really wanted to see, From First to Last and Halifax. Halifax would have done a lot better if people got into the show, but not many people seemed to

Everyone needs to sign up and get a free iPod. Make sure you go through my link so I get the credit. How it works is you sign up and you do one offer. Then you get 5 other people to sign up and do an offer. Once you have done that you get a free iPod. I didn't really believe it until Angus got his iPod through them. They have also been in the press a lot, check out all these articles.

After the graduation there was a reception out

Tomorrow is math(I need to review formulas) and Latin, which I am so fucked on latin its gonna suck badly. The last day is Us History and APES, which I think are going to be medium easy. Exams are really gonna suck. But summer is so

Plans for summer are still coming in. bethany and I are totally planning a road trip but we have to figure out where to go, when we go, and who else should come. It should be lots of fun.

You Are a Liberal RepublicanWhen you tell people that you're Republican, they rarely believe you.That's because you're socially liberal - likely pro-choice and pro-gay rights.You're also not so afraid of big goverment, as long as it benefits people and not politicians.You are the most likely of any Republican type to swing over to the Democrat side sometimes.What political persuasion are you?

Afterwards, John and I went to Kaj's and slept over. After that I ended up going out to lunch with John (Carter) and Ben. Then I went back to Ben's house to chill then came home.

So the final count for wedensday was an exact 50 plays. So we must do 3 recordings now. If you guys want more you gotta keep listening and get your friends to listen too!!!

2005-03-30T22:39:00.000-05:00

This whole idea of getting over 50 plays each day has really boosted everything for Mixedrelations. The first day we got 143 plays, The second day we got 58, and now on the third day we only have 40 so far. So go check it out and listen to the songs and have your friends listen too. We are also playing a show at The Cary Community Center on April 22nd from 6-9. I believe we are the opening band

A lot has happened since I last posted, but I'll start with YLA. I had lots of fun, even before YLA started. Bethany and I headed to the mall right after school to find her a dress but we got something else. We then went and got cookie-cakes for the leadership team dinner thursday night. From the dinner Bethany took me to Sarah's house, but bethany left. About half of the leadership team was at

This weekend didn't go like I wanted it to but it wasnt bad. I had planned for a practice saturday or sunday or even both, but that never happened. I got to hang out with Ben and he is going to be getting a car tomorrow. This week is going to be crazy. Thursday YLA starts for me and ends Sunday. After YLA I will go with Ben to DC and the next day we will check out some colleges in the area. The

Im not really getting much time to post anything. The band has finally started practicing regularly(although we still need to do better than one day a week). YLA is coming up very quickly, which I was not expecting at all. I think its gonna be fun, and hopefully I will be elected Tri-Speaker. Tomorrow I am having two parent-teacher meetings; one with Mr. Smith, which shouldnt be too bad, and the

So I haven't been up to much lately. I noticed people haven't been saying anything. If people left comments(except for people leaving adds!!!) that would rule. I love feed back. So yeah, check out my band while your at it!!!!PurevolumeOfficial WebsiteMyspaceOur merch(buy a thong!!!)Much <3Jarrett

Tonight was just crazy. First I decided to go to a show at the brewery. 33west, The Plunge, and The Clear were playing. It was a great a show, but when I went to leave I noticed my car was gone. It had been towed, which really sucked. It took us about 2 hours to get it back and cost me $100. I wouldn't say that tonight was really worth $107, but who knows.

2005-02-13T10:44:00.000-05:00

So I got a new guitar!I finally have a good guitar that looks sweet.Features:-Mahogany body and neck-2 Alnico V humbuckers-Black chrome hardware-Ebony fretboard with 22 frets and XII inlay at the 12th fret-24.75" scale-1.6" nut width

Friday my band tried to record some songs, but we didnt get too far. We ended up only being able to record an instrumental, which isnt too bad. The second guitar didn't sound right, so John switched to bass. Which we had no bass amp, so there was a lot of buzzing. The guitar ended up being too soft, but next week we are going to redo it with the help of Sam and his crazy expensive equipment,

So my band recently got an invite to the College Battle of the Bands in Atlanta. We have to sell 50 tickets, which are 5$ each, in order to be able to go. So if you wanna support us and buy tickets, even if you cant go, we would love you forever and ever and ever! Also, if you wanna set up a carpool to come so we can get lots of people, its on April 30th at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA. If we

So I never got to tell my cool ass story about the big snow day. It starts out in APES when I noticed the 'flurries' outside and point it out to Andrew. Within minutes the whole class was in an uproar to go outside. Mr. Smith would not let us and calss continued. When we got out for lunch I turned on my cell phone. I called my mom's cell but I couldnt get through. Then my dad calls me and told

School is out for tomorrow, which is totally awsome. I don't know what Im going to do, but roads should be fairly good so going out somewhere shouldnt be too bad. Mixed Relations is thinking about getting a synth in the band, which we think would be cool. We just need to find someone with a synth and wants to play the music we play. So if you fit either of these send us an email about yourself

Punishments suck so much, especially when there is no point to them. My parents arent going to let me go to band practices until my grades go up, which they are already high, but they have to see it on the Report Card! It is so stupid. I even tried to get it so I got my grades from my teachers each week to show I was keeping steady, but noooooo, they want the fucking report card. So unless my

AIRSOFT GUNS KICKASS! I played today with Mike and Hart. We really totally rocking it at Mike's house but decided a better lit area would be......better. So we went to waverly and played in the parking lot that they have there. We played for so long and it rocked so hard.

2005-01-04T17:32:00.000-05:00

I am no longer drummer for Mixed Relations but guitarist. Our new drummer is Geoff Allen. He is really cool and an awsome drummer, way better than me. We plan on playing our first show with this lineup sometime in late January or early February. Dont forget to be our friend on Myspace because we release an unmastered cut acoustic version of "Best but worst" played and sung by ME! :-D visit our

Im not doing anything tonight. My parents are having a party which is going to be super boring. I know its just going to end up being old people getting drunk and playing pictionary. I want to go out and do something. I really hope my last night of '04 doesnt suck. bleh

2004-12-28T11:34:00.000-05:00

School is out for break and so far it hasnt been too bad. Im going up to Maryland tomorrow with Ben and his mom. It should be fun and I'll see my cousins. Other than that Im not doing anything.

2004-12-14T23:27:00.000-05:00

I havent been doing too much lately. Mixed Relations is in an amazingly confusing state. Hopefully, once school is out for break we can get things together. Mid-terms start this friday and go over to monday and tuesday. I just want this to be over with as soon as possible. I dont really have anything planned for break and I probably wont do much.

I was just cruising the internet and ran up on some pics from the summer. watch it burn We blew up the ninja turtle, it was fucking sweet It took us a while to find all the pieces getting ready for a show(whats with my face?) Madison=rocking the fuck out I cant wait till summer comes. Mixed Relations will hopefully hit the road and go on tour, even if it is just out of Raleigh. Summer

I've been chillin for the past week. Ben turned 17 on thursday and my family went to a small party for him. He and I chilled for most of this week. Friday I went rock climbing and it was sweet. I'll probably go again, and I will stay much longer. Today my family had a garage sale and we sold a lot of shit. In the mist of this I got interested in my old junk and I found some nice basketball and

Thanksgiving was pretty good yesterday. My family(including my siter), my cousins, and the Yosims were over for the dinner. It was really fun and afterwards I went and slept at Ben's house. We woke up at 5:30 so we could go to the early-bird sales and get what we want. There was only one thing that we didnt get because they ran out and that was a DVD-player for Bens step-niece. After that we

Wow, just wow is all I can describe for last night. I feel sorta stupid about what I did but I learned from my mistake. I feel really bad for Rob and John cause they are being punished very harshly, and ROB DIDNT DO ANYTHING!!! Im just glad my parents are actually understanding of me. This is one of those times Im really glad my parents are my parents. I also wrote a song about it, Im such a dork

This weekend was awesome. I went to Philly with Classical Society. We went up on the train, which was better going up there. We went to China Town the first night, which was so-so. The next day we went Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. We walked from Philly to NJ and back. We also went to City Hall and looked out from the top. We then went to Eastern State Penetentary, which was awsome. We
