Everything Must Go

My mom and sister are off dropping off the dogs, since they can’t be left home while we’re gone, so I have these last few moments at home by myself. I’d be lying I said I wasn’t sad and a bit emotional. I’m not really sure what to say beyond that. It’s been a wonderful number of years here, and although clearly I’ll be back and seeing all my closest...

2 Days (1:54 am)

I just realized that between Sunday and monday, I have to be packed to live on my own for a few months, make sure I did everythin I was supposed to, and say goodbye to my dad, my extended family, and a fair number of people who would like to say goodbye. Surprisingly that didn’t hit me as a sad thing, more “crap I have a lot to do in two days”. I’m not even sure when...

First real post back in a while and possibly the last. To start, today was loads of fun. Delicious sushi, odd thrift purchases (owl statue, two beerstein-esque shot glasses, book on man manners or something), port adventures, awesome gifts, and not really saying goodbye. Check facebook message, I have a few things to ask of you. Next, classes. Traditions in Conversation (apparently a...

I feel guilty, because today is the last day I’m technically with my dad, but instead I’m going with the crew in the RV to Jones Beach and hanging out. I feel bad, but lately my dad and I are just…distant. It’s sad, I guess, but I’m definitely going to stop by his house and say goodbye before I leave, but this whole divorced parent thing makes leaving a bigger...

Wasn’t really that much of a mindfuck Had a huge FU ending if I’ve ever seen one Was a little disappointing since everyone else hyped it up so much…but I guess that’s what I get for seeing it so late Made me realize that Ellen Page looks indie even when she’s in a suit Definitely had some… Thanks for summing it all up for me, ‘cause we know I’m so lazy. Also, this: ...

Just got back from breakfast with MK, Devin, and Eric. I think I lost my car keys either at the place in Smithtown or (hopefully) they’re at my cousin’s house. Regardless, I have to find a house key to their house, my spare key, and bike over there, since my house is empty. Then later meeting up with those three to go to the beach and relax. That’s probably it for today.

So recently (like yesterday or the day before) it finally hit me that I’m leaving. Trying to verbalize how my mind has been acting is proving to be a difficult task. I’m not scared about meeting new people and doing new things in college. When I think about that, I just get excited and say to myself “this is going to be big. this is going to be what you’ve been looking...

12:20 [Update?]

So Brooklyn ain’t happening, I realized how worn out from constantly doing “things” has made me, and I need some time to just relax and think and enjoy. Plus, my head is pounding, and the drive back would have not went well. So I think the plan is to take a breather at home, figure out some things regarding Doodle’s gift, decide who I’m actually going to see before I...

I haven’t slept in this late in forever. I wish I could say doing felt good, catching up on sleep an whatnot, but I just feel tired, my head killing, and just feeling lazy. The plan is to drive into Brooklyn tonight for a show, still not sure I I’m up to it. For now, i need food desperately, wrking on doodles gift, then I guess I should at least start thinking about what things...

Went to the thrift store with Devin and Andrew, got a few things, had a wonderful time. Finally figured outthe last place I had my McBro suit. Chris’ house. No idea if it’s still around. I’ll ask him when they get back. Dinner with my dad and sister, because although I’ve been at home a lot more lately, that’s only been my moms house, so fulfilling the other...

I’m bored, restless, tired, awake, hardly capable of forming thoughts, and reverting back a little. And all I want is my McBro monkey suit, and no one seems to have seen it since riverhead. Ok, I’d also like to actually do something this week, but at the very least give me my uniform. Not sure how I’m going to finally get myself to sleep tonight, but I have a feeling it...

Emma couldn’t hang again, which sucks in itself, but now I’m sitting around bored out of my mind. And tired, but not in an I could fall asleep way, in like I can tell I’m exhausted but I know nothing is going to get me to sleep. The only plan for the week that has begun to take shape is the Snowing/Into It. Over It. show in Brooklyn on Thursday. I better check and make sure the...

FML I’m in an all male dorm, in a triple with two guys who don’t seem to have facebook accounts. So yeah, Fuck. My. Life.

Lists and things

Good day, chillin’ with Doodle, EmKah, Enrique, and D. Music I’m diggin’ right now: Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Madvillain - Madvillainy MF Doom - Operation Doomsday Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene Things to do: Pay my school bill Set up my computer Buy a webcam if my computer doesn’t have one Hang with Chels and Lauryn Clean my room and my car Finish...

My ankles really hurt (weird???) and it’s not the immense amount of bug bites that are covering them, but those aren’t helping. My mind is fully on, but I know nothing can really be accomplished right now. I can’t decide between watching tv in hopes it will make me tired, listen to music in bed in hopes that will lull me to sleep, or let my thoughts be my last companion until I pass into the...

Last Night Shift

Was hectic, but not too bad. My manager let me leave a bit early, which was very much appreciated. Sunday lunch and I’m done. It’s very nice not having to do that job anymore, because if you’ve never done that kind of work, let me tell you it ain’t easy, even if the general idea is simple: clean, set, bring bread, take care of simple tasks around the place. ...

Day 2 - the meaning behind your tumblr name

lomattt: Lomat is my nickname from school. But only boys usually call me it still. I’ve come to like it. You will always be my (our) little Lomat. I want to see your pretty face soon. Very soon.

Day long date with Regina (the backpack guitar), interrupted (hopefully) only by a quickie with the weed whacker. My week is still very vague (but very packed, that’s just how I work) at this point, but I know tomorrow and friday are going to be the tits, so fuck yeah.

Because All I Like to Do is Talk About Music...

It’s really hard to list my favorite albums of all time, but here are some albums that just feel…right: Sing the Greys People Who Can Eat People Are the Luckiest People In the World Parachutes Plans Some Kind of Cadwallader We Don’t Need to Whisper Enema of the State Sharpen Your Teeth The Upsides No Matter Where We Go..!

2010 in Music So Far (and What the Future Might...

The Upsides - The Wonder Years: No matter what else comes out this year, this album will be my number one purely because I don’t think I could have ever related to an album more than this. Plus it’s catchy as fuck. And pop-punk NOT about girls and girl problems (one song doesn’t count, fuck you) makes me happy. More Songs - Grown Ups: I’ve been overplaying this a little...

Plan for tonight: read HP find my capo listen to music (maybe a late night drive) I’ve hardly beenhome otherthan to sleep as of late, and a night off before I work in the am sounds good. Find out my lat schedule tomorrow. I just hope that I get shifts that aren’t crazy nights, working there on a busy night is the worst 7 or 8 hours ever. Bbut I guess the money wouldn’t...

Good day. Drove my aunt out to riverhead tompick up her car. It was nice and I got free coffee. Read more Harry Potter. Got to see Emma. Love that girl, she’s fuckin awesome. Hanging with her a bunch before we leave. Went to a really awkward backyard show with dvo in Dix Hills. Lots of waiting, skacore, ugly/fat punks, and confusion about alternate detours. Still fun and much...

– Summer Skin - Death Cab for Cutie There is still a few weks until this song is really pertinent, but I can still forsee all the beginnings and ends a’comin. On a completely different note, this song makes me want to just drive around the island all day, with no agenda, just food, music ,...

Goals for the Next Month

I got bored of that 30 days thing (I knew I would), but this one is somethin I want to do. So, without further ado: • pay the college bill • decide if I’m blowing money on a new guitar or not • hang with visky, Emma, pat, Julia, and any other friends I don’t see enough • hang with my boys (the ones still here and the others when they return) • go see Snowing (and hopefully other...
