Dougie.C

I convinced my parents to unground me yesterday, its been excellent, I went to wendys with Maureen then starbucks with evan and liz, today me and Callen are going to try and finish up some recording, then I'm going to go see Saved with Cait. Summer is great. Tomorow I have to work on some college applications, hooray. Well I need to get dressed for the day, and work on a couple songs to record today. I'll see you all later, don't miss me too much.

Yesterday was spent at a church softball game with the family then a softball picnic, not a bad day, but I miss everyone. Got to go see the Bourne Supremacy last night with Tim, Travis and Sarah, it was nice to get out again. Sadly Reba and Travis are gone, so my excuses to get out now will be limited. My parents went and looked at a house in Cecil today, who knows, we might moive, that'd be weird. Nothing for sure, but it could happen. I wouldn't mind it too much, I'd still be close enough to see all of you so don't worry. Its like 2 minutes from bridgeville so no worries. In other news 7 more days till the shackles are released. Not toooooo much longer. Well I'm going to finish cleaning up my room and moving stuff around, I've got nothing better to do really.

Peace in the East.

I was trying to get into the habit of updating this, it didn't work at all. But heres a good one for you. So some of you may have heard that last month someone stole 250 bucks out of my room, if you didn't, you just did. So 250 dollars gone without a trace. Me and Galen went to Joes Crab Shack on Monday, sucky food, bad prices, and on top of that I left my cell phone there. I called my phone on Kate Saf's phone later that night and one of the waitresses picked it up and told me that it was there and that she'd leave it in the office. Me, Galen, and Kev Saf went back to Papa Siscos for the night and turned in. We got up around 11 and Galen made some good pancakes, I was in better spirits after that. Then I got him to drive me out to the crab shack to pick up my phone. We get there and I go talk to the manager, tell him what my phone looks like, I said "its a blue nokia phone with a crack in the screen". He comes back with a red motorola flip phone and is like "is this it?"....."no........" so apearantly someone stole my phone from the office in the middle of the night, so now my phone is gone, which is the phone me and my mom share. So I'm pissed off cause I know I'm going to have to pay for a new phone, which blows. So I get home, tell my mom about the phone, and we shut off the service to it so whoever stole it can't make any calls, and then wait for my dad to get home. I figure they'll just tell me I have to pay for a new phone. Of course not. Due to me allowing someone to steal 250 dollars from me and someone stealing the cell phone from me, I am now grounded till august 1st, 13 days of grounding, for having things stolen from me, you'd think having the things stolen would be enough punishment, obviously not. So I've got 8 more days to go, I'm going a little crazy. Being locked up in this house. Oh well. 8 dddayyyss. In other news.......um....I start college in a month, thats going to be exciting, so far I have 3 classes scheduled. Spanish, Philosophy and Audio Production. I should be getting Honors English too. So college here I come....Life is finally upon me. I want to be able to get out, I get to go to church tomorow, that will be good, I've been longing for some human interaction other than my family. Everyone should start to think up some good ideas of things we can do once I'm free again. I want to do alot of things.

So heres the deal. I suck at doing this whole online journal, so I'm going to make it a part of my everyday day. so you should hear more from me. Birthday was wednesday, thanks to everyone who came out to the festival. We're playing at callens grad party on sunday, should be fun, I just wanna rock. I bought myself some dvds for my birthday, bought dvds include Man On The Moon (one of my all time favorites) Resident Evil and the Best of Will Farrel. All good choices. I leave for tuesday, I'll be back sunday, don't miss me too much.

I've been so bored lately that its made me want to get a job.

Man thats lame.

Been pretty busy lately, my parents have been out of town so I've been driving my sisters to all their stuff. Had to get up 6:30 a few days, no good. The band is excellent, we bought a new pa head, which means our vocals will be heard now, and I have a new speaker cabinet for my amp. Me and Callen laid down 2 new songs last night that I'm really pumped about. Life is good, no doubt about it. Hopefully we'll have a couple shows comin up in the next couple weeks.

So things are good, we have a show on the 24th.
Rock show:
april 24th southminster church basement (Mt. Lebo) .
Doors 7 PM,
we're on at 7:30, be there.
4$ 4 bands.
Benefits Amys Army.

Should be a good time. My new amp comes today. I win at amps again. I won't have all the stuff for it to be perfect for a few more weeks so I'll be using my old one for the show. Callen and I will be sharing the singing duties for now, probably forever because singers are impossible to find. Apart from the band things are excellent, nothing too exciting though. My rooms a mess right now, I should clean it, I might. I only have 11 days of school left as my little sister pointed out to me yesterday. Pretty great.

Support me in getting new equipment by buying my old stuff
Fender Stage 160 amplifier
Epiphone les paul limited edition sparkle top with hard case

If anyone wants anything let me know, and we can work on a price

So anyway, I'm tired and I'm leaving tomorow for Indianapolis.
I'm looking at buying a keyboard or electric orgran or an old roland synth.
I'm gonna re-learn all the chords for piano so I can lay down some killer stuff on our songs.
Who knows, I need a new amp first.

Gonna hit up Aquire The Fire in Indianapolis this weekend, should be awesome. The band is excellent, hopefully a show comin up mid april. New songs in the works, we've got a quite a few done now, they are as follows

Communications From Elsewhere
The Desperate Struggle for Lives Along I-80
Thousand Oceans
I Will Follow You
Pearl of Love
Wire Cars
Shake My Heart
Thursdays Not For Love

Then theres like 3 new ones in the works and an infinite library of songs in my head, its all goin great. I'm outta here, peace.

So yesterday me and tim spent a couple hours revising my papers, we still have alot to do. Today we'll probably finish that. We might try to get out to guitar center today depending on when he works. We went to Robinson yesterday to get my dads computer fixed that wasn't really broken. So we did that, and then went to cd warehouse, I got myself an Ids cd. Then onto best buy where tim bought a TV, and I bought the new Vast cd, which is amazing by the way. Hopefully there will be much band practicing going on tonight, hopefully we can finish up some songs. Twill be good. To the Cabin!

Hio!

So Callen decided to rename the Barn. Its now The Cabin. So we spent a good 6 hours at The Cabin today getting songs ready. Good old Ryan came and rocked on the bass today pretty good, hes in there like swimwear. We got 5 songs pretty much final and a few more in the works, hopefully we'll have some shows comin up in not so long. This week is gonna be nuts, SATs a week from today, eeek. Time to say goodbye, goodbye.
