excuse me but did i fail to mention?
im nothing but a collection of bad intentions
and guilty pleasures you love to hate
the monster under your bed
the things you wish you never said
now this is the part where you sing along
recite the words at the top of your lungs

it's spring break and i have a mild cold. my buddies have helped me get my mind off of it though...my buddies, of course, being incubus and halo 3.

does anyone use these things anymore?
i'm genuinely curious.

but it's making a comeback.

i'm graduating high school soon and its one of the most terrifying things to think about for any descent amount of time. i honestly think my brain is going to have a hard time trying to function, post-high school. for the past 14 years i've programmed myself to go by a schedule of having school monday through friday and that ends in about 6 weeks. oh and here's to hoping i actually do graduate, as well.

sometimes i get caught up in my band's shit. i get down, i get aggravated, and i get disenchanted with the whole thing...the i sit back and look at everything we've done in the past 6 months since we started. to look at how we've grown and transformed is actually pretty cool if you ask me. i've had big ideas and ambitions for this project from the start and it's really cool to finally see some of them coming together. the mere fact that we're playing a show with playradioplay! (who i knew about a year and a half ago before island records scooped him up) and that we're going to be touring some this summer with our homies in 'at cliffs end' (myspace.com/atcliffsend) makes me excited. i do it for my 25-30 minutes on stage...everything in between is just details.

i've learned alot about mobile's music scene since we started this thing and i must say...i now understand why every other band in mobile breaks up. too bad...but we'll be around for a long time so get used to it already.

sincerely,
the monster underneath your bed

p.s. i'm officially off the market. she has one of the best smiles i've ever seen....bottom line.

alexx photo is amazing. check his shit











a little something:
i hope this wont be a lyrical let down
'cause i'm choosing words like i choose friends
and you're something i cant forget now
as i struggle here with this paper and pen
quiet now dont let them hear us
this is treason at its worst
let's hide away and dont tell a soul
you'll be another secret that i can't keep
'cause mississippi ain't that far
and your smile's worth miles to me
we're dead end kids with killer fashion sense
and i know you know how i follow magazine trends
but we make our home in backseats and bedrooms
just the two of us, yeah just me and you
quiet now dont let them hear us
this is treason at it's worst
let's hide away and dont tell a soul
you'll be another secret that i can't keep
'cause mississippi ain't that far
and your smile's worth miles to me

over the years,  ' not conforming to society' has become less of an objective and more of a catch phrase. what people fail to understand is that nobody is completely unique. sure, you may have certain characteristics that make you stand out but their are millions of people who dress just like you, talk like you, and probably have the same interests that you do. to criticize an individual for conforming to the norm is the most ignorant thing you can do because no matter what your myspace may say in your 'about me' section and no matter how much you avoid the popular crowds and trends...you're the same. their are plenty of clones running around just like you claiming to be completely different. who the fuck cares what stores certain crowds shop at? shopping at american eagle doesn't make you a sell-out...but on the other hand it doesn't make you cool. if you like it, wear it. if you like it, listen to it. if you like it...then it's ok as long as you're true to yourself.

i wear certain things because i LIKE them...however, i'll be the first to admit that what i 'like' has probably been determined by years of MTV and the all-powerful internet. i'm all for individuality but dont think you're better than anyone else because you're a "non-comformist". get a life.

p.s. hating on fall out boy is so last year. get over it.

'big casino' by jimmy eat world is probably my favorite song ever....
...at least for the next few weeks.

as i sit here and type, my legs feel like i've taken a brutal beating in the past 24 hours and the truth really isnt far off from that. our first varsity soccer game of the season was last night and i dont think i could be much more sore.


sometimes i wonder why i update this thing. why i sit here and treat this journal like the goodwill of my useless thoughts and ideas in case anyone else should want them. i think it's more for myself than for anyone else. if i type down my thoughts, get them in order and worded just right, i understand myself just a little better. reading back over my journal entries from last year has shown me how much i've changed as a person without realizing it...that, most definetely, is a good thing. maybe it's just a temporary remedy for boredom - something to pass the time. i'm not really sure. i'm not sure about alot of things.

Current Music: Forever The Sickest Kids

reading my past entries in this journal is mildly embarrassing. i havn't updated this since may of last year and things have definetely changed. i dont feel like outlining all the ways i've grown or how i've become more aware of the type or person i am and i don't have the desire to throw my many mistakes from the past year on the internet for everyone to read.

all i know is that the adam looney in my last blog entry and the adam looney who's sitting here typing this are two completely different people. i'm still figuring myself out and i don't think i'll ever be done.

Current Music: A Day To Remember

Hello LJ world. I've been gone for some time because I just got disillusioned with online journals but I may start to update this again (if for no other reason than to post things I've written since my LJ hiatus began).

I'm thinking of writing an actual story (notice my evasiveness of the word "book") but that's a project I'm not quite ready to deal with quite yet.

their is a fine line between having a vivid imagination and being crazy.
it's interesting how often that line is blurred for the sake of calling yourself an artist.

punk/ska band in my future?
i think so.
