10:39 am	Stop being so laissez-faire, we're all scared of the future... We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times All neon, all surface So kiss me before it all gets complicated I've got a taste for blood I haven't made a real entry since January. So much has happened. I don't know how to sum up. Maybe that's why I don't write in this anymore... because it's impossible for me reduce the major happenings of my life to bullet-points, and I'm afraid of who may read the details if I went that far. For now, I am alive, and my definition of that word changes daily. If you don't care to ask yourself, that is all you need know. Summers are amazing. Perhaps the sun causes people to grow as well.

6:05 pm	I think I took too long on this, but it was amusing 1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies. 2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. 3. Post them here for everyone to guess. 4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie. 5. Looking them up is cheating, please don't. 1. Character 1: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar. Character 2: When will you be back? Character 1: I can't tell you that. It's classified. 2. Maybe if we were the last two people alive, and there were no sheep. Are there sheep? 3. Character 1: He's my knight in shining armor. Character 2: Don't talk about knights around Mark, it's a sore subject. 4. Character 1: I'll do my best. Character 2: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen. 5. Character 1: Am I pretty? Character 2: You are the most beautiful girl in the world. Character 1: You're just saying that. Character 2: No! I'm madly in love with you and it's not because of your brains or your personality. 6. You're right! Love isn't just something you feel... it's shaving your balls! 7. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! 8. Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude. 9. Character 1: How's your mother? Character 2: Oh... I'm afraid she's on her way out. Character 1: [walks away] We all are. Act accordingly. 10. My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next. (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:06 am	And donned a marigold in your hair It's probably time for some writing. Last weekend's show at the Studio was easily the best I've had at that place. I got 6 more because of that one set. It's cool to have a place like that to go and meet people and learn about everything while thoroughly enjoying myself every time. I've also decided that I'm taking a trip to Toronto in 3 weeks, to audition for Last Comic Standing. It'll most likely be a waste of time, and the show is clearly fixed, but it'll still be a fun little trip with my friends. I feel the need to go out and make some new friends again. It happens alot. I think it'd be better if I lived in a place where I could do it whenever I pleased. Ehh, I'll move out soon enough. I've recently gotten into music by The National. Check them out. Seriously.

7:47 pm	And I can take away the salt from your eyes I really like the feeling of being snowed-in. Nope, can't do anything today, I'm snowed in. Guess it's just me and a DVD of The Office and my thoughts. I wish I actually had a DVD of The Office. But I like today regardless. One of my shady vermont myspace friends took a survey about the year 2007, and for whatever reason I read it. I refuse to take it myself, but it made me think about how much has changed since the beginning of the year. I can't explain it very well without a stupid metaphor I have in my head, so here goes: Think of who I am as a patch-work quilt. Before this year, I had made it all by myself for the most part. I'd stumble upon a piece of it every so often, and attach it myself. And, up until 2007, I didn't really let anyone else touch it. Or even see it, for that matter. This was the first year I actually let people add their own pieces to it. The first year that I've let others actually influence my life and what I am. Everyone I've encountered this year, even people I don't really see anymore, has left their own little mark on me. There are very specific people responsible for specific parts of who I am, and I'll be happy to give credit where credit is due. And there isn't a pattern or scheme to the quilt anymore, but it's just more colorful and more complete than it could ever have been before. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is growth. Explained in cheesy symbolism. Happy snow day. Current Mood: content Current Music: Breakable- Ingrid Michaelson (7 Comments |Comment on this)

9:34 pm	You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends Wow, it's been over a month since I put anything in here. Ridiculous. I still read everything my friends do, but I feel like the inner workings of my life are fairly inconsequential as of late. Does anybody seriously care, anyway? In the not-surprising section of the news, Athol is lame. I want to visit people. Alot. And probably move when I get enough money. I'm pretty much set on the idea of moving into Boston when I finally get out of here, so there's some saving to do... I actually read my bank statement for october, and had a withdrawal from New Brunswick, NJ in mid October. I can't believe it was only like 3 weeks ago I was there. October was a crazy month. If you need further updates, ask me. I'll tell you the whole story next time I see you. Current Mood: eh. Current Music: The Chimp and the Woman- Sean Cullen (6 Comments |Comment on this)

10:28 am	And we can spend this night for two Just wondering what to do And I will be fine with that. Somebody tell me how Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is not widely regarded as the greatest piece of cinema ever. I saw it on TV last week, and it's absolutely brilliant. New Jersey this weekend, then URI next weekend for a comedy show and a little alumni team frisbee action. Sounds like the beginning to a good Autumn to me. New job is fun... I played capture the flag with middle schoolers for an hour yesterday. It's tiring though. I forgot what sore muscles were like, which is weird to say I think. Neat-o.

11:15 am	Tonight make me unstoppable... In the past two days my standup on youtube got over 1,000 views mysteriously. Random people left strange and vaguely hurtful comments. This was terribly confusing for me until I googled my name and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bVa6jn4rpE Awesome. I didn't win the contest last night, but I'm MCing the next two nights at the club. So in the end, it was a success anyway. First day at American Eagle's tomorrow. Ohhh boy.

10:22 pm	Lover, no I can't afford your game The Fifth Element is on right now. Weird movie, but I always end up watching it all the way through. I got a job at American Eagle for the time being. Today we had an orientation of sorts. Who knows how long this'll last, but at least I'll have a little income now. I seem to have a habit lately of making things unnecessarily complicated for myself. Ah well... beats the alternative. I need to hit a campus soon. I thought I may be at URI this weekend, but perhaps not, if my show's cancelled. This place has become deserted now that everyone's back at school. Mila Jovovich is kicking aliens to opera music. I Gotta go. Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)

3:57 pm	The Grapevine in my Ear Any conversation that's worth having will probably end up happening after 3 am. Daytime is filled with small-talk and pleasantries. People are real at night. That's my thought for the day. Now it's off to Mike's after a pretty sweet weekend in upstate RI. Current Mood: sleepy Current Music: Vice/Versa- Fair to Midland (1 Comment |Comment on this)

4:05 pm	Save us from what we will become tonight It's funny how every time I need to compile a setlist before a show, Spider Solitaire suddenly becomes the best game on the planet. At the rate my procrastinaion skills have progressed, I don't know if I could have handled another year of school. And it's off to Vermont I go. Here goes nothin'. On a side note, despite all the current chaos and uncertainty in my life, I am quite content with existence. Current Mood: silly Current Music: Speeding Cars- Imogen Heap (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:20 pm	Ransom notes keep pouring out your mouth "I believe in romance and spontaneity, not baby-talk and pet names." A friend of mine has that in her about me, and I like it. Amen. Myrtle Beach was alright. It was pushing 100 and humid every day we were there, so that was kind of oppressive. I don't think I'll go back.. I felt really out of place there. There are two scenes there: the family-with-kids vacation with shows and miniature golf and the beach, and there's also a scene for groups of guys to go down and play golf and go to strip clubs (I've never seen so many strip clubs in one place ever). While the golf courses are fun, it's become this over-commercialized, overwhelming spot to be, and that's not what I want out of a vacation. With that said, it was still a decent time. I got the privilege of seeing a 9 year old girl sing "Here for the Party" karaoke. There's nothing quite like listening to a little girl saying she's going to "get me some." And in a random turn of events, Lydia and Amy are coming up to visit tomorrow night. I need to figure out something fun for us to do. Oh, backwoods... Dude, I have to get a job now? What? Lame...

4:45 pm	Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head So I'm back home. Until tomorrow, when I'm going with Mike and his family to Myrtle Beach. Should be fun. Road trip was amazing. Every so often, there are moments that just make you happy to be alive; flashes of brilliance that are as incredible as they are fleeting. Those are the moments you'll remember in 50 years, thankful that, for whatever reason, you were in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. I can't tell you how many of those moments I've had in the past 3 weeks. I don't think an explanation could do total justice, because it's like an inside-joke. You really had to be there, or you'll never fully appreciate it. I feel that "inside-moment" should be coined as a phrase. Just an experience that's shared between two or three or however many people that nobody else could never fully appreciate, no matter how hard they tried, and the exclusivity of it all makes the experience that much more amazing to everyone fortunate enough to be involved. I'm going to start using it, I think. The dental hygenist called me a free-spirit today. I don't know about that, but I'd like to think it's true. I need to go do laundry for another week. Let's all hang out when I get back. Everyone that reads this. All at once. Current Mood: happy Current Music: The Churchills- Everybody gets what they deserve (Comment on this)

1:57 pm	The kind that bring you home, when home becomes a strange place I was held out of the show last night because I didn't bring enough people. This has not been a good week in the life of Drew the Comedian. Everything else is good, though. Long island tonight, Jersey tomorrow, probably. Current Mood: okay (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:47 pm	:( I didn't get in. Too bad. Resuming my trip in RI tomorrow, then CT and NYC by the end of the week. I saw a deer on the steps to Butterfield dining hall the other night. That was neat. There's no way I'm getting 10 people to go see me this weekend. Hopefully they'll let me on anyway because they like me. Or all the other comics get stuck on a bus that can't go under 55 mph. Either way. Current Music: Unearth- Zombie Autopilot (2 Comments |Comment on this)

10:24 am	Don't tell anybody anything. You'll end up missing everybody. Hello, all. Maine is fun. I am in the library next tot he beach. Here are a few highlights: On the way here, there was a large 45 year old woman exercising with headphones down the middle of the road. Not running, though. Skipping. Scarring? I tried telling my sister in the pool that babies, when they're newborn, have a natural ability to swim. She didn't believe me. This 8 year old kid in the pool tried to help me by saying "I believe it was the Russians who were training babies to swim..." Checked out and read The Catcher in the Rye. I never had to read it in school, and with all the good things I heard about it, I had to. Pretty great, though. That's probably it. I'm leaving tomorrow, I think. Next stop, RI for a few days.
