| A poem perhaps? |
[29 Apr 2004|10:13pm] |
Within a brilliant light comes a million whispers through fallen shadows.
All spoken in mime so goes the story - a chorus in black and white.
And through a moments climax the pain cushions the life-giver’s fall,
But only in the grace of hope will these stains form a tale worth dieing for.

My Lords... My Ladies...
I know... I know... I am awesome. How the hell have you all been!?! (All two of you.) I have been just spiffy. New news you ask? Well, I quit my job for Williams Vending and am learning the 'family business' now (eyeglass making.) Flatline is running strong at the moment, until Jake takes his job in North Carolina, but hopefully I can get us a decent record contract by then. A friend of mine hooked me up with the good people at Roadrunner Records, and we are recording our last album to send to them. Roadrunner has bands such as the Misfits, Slipknot, Cradle of Filth and evenNickelback! So hopefully that will work out well. I'm also thinking about giving a copy to a guy I know who is a big shit for Clear Channel (since they are slowly taking over the world along with McDonnalds) and see if he can get it to Dexter Holland of The Offspring at X Fest this year. Being the CEO of Nitro and all, I think its worth a shot.
So other than that... I've just been resting, making web sites and rarely updating them and the such. questions... comments??? Send me some love.
All yours,
Derek

Now... I'll be totally honest, I just wanted to leave the afi thing there for a while. It kind of gives me a sense of pride........or............something. Anyway! Nothings new... just thought that I you all would like to know that. Since I have SO MANY FUCKING FANS OUT THERE... aHem. I work for Williams Amusments in Uniontown 2 to 4 days out of the week (depending on how much shit gets broke). but other than that, im kind of living at eves... on our mad-ass-decent dsl connection (compared to a 56k). mmmMMMMMMmmm kind of lost touch with the band... but I still BOWL with Sibby and John, so thats fun. well... I might update in the next year... no promises. and sorry id I spelled anything wrong.

So guess who is done with high school.... ME!@#% and I seriously doubt im going to miss it one bit... Friday was my last day of classes and it fucking sucked. Went to eat breakfast and then I had to go pick up a pa for a show at 885 skatepark, because Flatline wasnt playing and we had to rent a pa system. My mom tells the school that I was at eat n Park and the school flipps out. I call and further piss off the office lady who is already the most miserable old woman alive and demand to talk to the principal... Talked to him and told him I wasnt going through the graduation ceramony and anything like that and etc etc etc... I go to school just so everyone would stop bitching at me. Get there and handed out invitations and tried to have a good time. My Final term paper and senior project was due that day too.... managed to get that handed in RIGHT after the end of the day bell rang. Tomorrow is our Farewell "mass." I dont want to go but I know I will end up going anyway just to see everyone one last time... wonder what I have to wear... *shrug*
I have been working after school thursday and friday... worked yesterday. Went to a show after work (which was after school) on friday... Only could catch the last 2 bands, oh well. Also had a Flatline show after work yesterday... I didnt really have a good time... There were people there... but it was just... different. Jake (drummer) was stuck on a tiny drum rise that bounced and wabbled... and constantly knocked his crash cymbol off of it... nearly hitting me... and he kept dropping sticks and on top of all that... he had pinkeye in both eyes all of last week. Wendy also decided to show up... making me want to go on a killing spree the whole night, but Lindsay and Steve and Chuck showed up right after we got off stage and I had a good time chilling with them.
Im sure ill have more to say later... but I have to go now come back soon

Look at me... finally updating... Eve gave me this cool little livejournal update thingie... so maybe i'll update more often since I dont really have to get online to do it.
Ummmm I got my eyebrow pierced... It wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I had Lindsay and Carrie coach me last night on it and I was kind of nervous, but the clamp didnt hurt... I could kind of feel a pinch from the needle and it didnt hurt after that. you can go to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) evenstars to see a picture of it... it doesnt look too bad... just needs some getting used to.
Flatline is on its way kind of... Jordans getting a new pedal, John might have to choose his priorities between dnd and the band... from what I understand its getting pretty annoying. Most shows are on fridays... and if you have dnd that night... sorry about your luck, I know it's fun and all, but damn. the recordings coming along slowly but surely, as I quietly predicted... it wont be dont this month... too many other things like sickness, school etc... I dont let it get to me anymore... it'll get done when everyone else wants it to get done.
Oh yea and... ummm happy birthday to me.

Well, my 12 year streak was ended today. 2nd period French, and I got caught cheating... I was fine untill bizil teacher came over and tried to turn my paper over. ARGH... fucking teachers. she was like... "whats this?" like she was oblivious to the fact that someone might try to cheat on one of her tests. So that was bad enough untill later that day im in a meeting with Mr Mascia, the principal telling him that I can not continue trying to update the schools web site due to other school work/band stuff/ starting a production company (Evening Cure Productions)and the only way I could squeeze it in and devote time to their web page would be if a deal was worked out to give me a half credit for that class and allow me to drop my French class... he said he would consider it and talk it over with the school president and get back to me. So I leave on a good note only to see her sitting there waiting to have a meeting with Mr Mescia... I fucking know she told him...
Other than that my day sucked... maybe the Punchline show will bring me joy tonight.

The needs, the wants, the spirit of this comercial holiday... gatta love it. This truely is the best time of the year to absolutely hate everyone when your sitting stuck in traffic. Heh I finally got all of my shopping finished TODAY... needed to get my father something. Got him this comfy shirt and a tie... he didnt ask for anything, so he will receive it and like it. I love getting parents the stupidest shit just so they have to use it, because if they dont, they might hurt my feelings and I just might throw a fit and cry. Everyone have a swell, zany and safe holiday, and i'll see you all soon im sure. My messages will be turned back on for a few days, so if you have anything to tell me via LJ... do it SOON!@$%

Heya all,
I just got back from Merci hospital for Eve's back surgery, she is doing very well... still in a little pain, but I think im having more of a tough time than she is. The docter said that it was actually worse then he had expected, and that he actually stopped counting the pieces of ruptured disk that he was taking out. And on top of that, he said that it had a calcium build-up, meaning that this had been ruptured for a few years now. Dispite all of that, the docter was very optimostic about the results. He said that everything looked a lot better, and that she should be back sometime tomorrow. I still think I want to go down to see her though, it really depends on if mommy deems the purpose appropriate. I dont think i'll sleep tonight, so maybe ill post again to waste some more time. untill then, this is Derek saying: if you ever have kids, and they say that somethings wrong with their back, listen to them and have it checked out before its too late...
~~-Derek---
P.S.
If I do not see anyone, Merry Christmas!

Call it venting or what not, but I guess I've "offended" someone, and im sorry about your feelings, but my opinions are just that, and understand that their formed from moment to moment. I dont really blame girlfriends for Flatlines problems, I was just trying to state that before each member had other obligations to fulfill, our priorities were more focused on material pertaining to the music. Now, schedules are filled with shopping and gaming and for some, school. I do believe that when it was just us four and Sadie things were a lot more simplistic. But even since then we have cut band time down a LOT, and on the days we do have set to practice and the such, last minute cancelations occur because "we havent seen each other all week." etc... which again I do not blame on the girl, but the member himself for not getting up from his computer or hunting, or in my case... sleeping. I have made my opinions clear to everyone, including mine own, whome I have never placed before my music. This is my life, my songs, my hoped career. It just irks me when someone places something above it that will jepordise my whole future, like this will never go anywhere, or its not that imporntant. To me, it is. I am sorry for feeling the way I do, and I am sorry for the messages I constrew.

Heya peoples....
I really dont have much to say. We went to New York, s you might have read a million times on everyone elses journal. It was fun, Chuck wasnt even that bad!!! (kind of) Blindgurdian played 2 hours, oh my god... but what I really was going for was to see an re-meet up with Avenged Sevenfold. I still owe Lindsay money :-/ I'll get it toget asap, perhaps through steve at bowling this Thursday.
We just got back from Ohio and Evies dad's place. It was cool cause I got to watch and play with Brody all weekend... what I wouldnt give to be 2 again. Brody is Eves brothers kid if you didnt know. we just watched a whole bunch of movies like Oceans eleven, and the pendilum, which is a pretty good movie.
Flatline's still pulling along. Im still working on updating www.flatline.iwarp.com so come see me there ;). We are almost done recording the last 2 songs in the "session" Torque, and Letting me down. We just need the vocals, so who in the fuck knows when that will be... I guess whenever john sees fit. I dont think this band will last in the long run. It used to be like... we all got together to get away from everyone else and lifes shit... Now everyones going elswhere for that and the band has just become a job. Not to mention that ever since I can remember, all Flatlines been is just a power struggle between Jordan and I anyway, and im just tired of fighting The bottom line is that we are going to break up over the same reason that all of their (the shinskys) previous bands, Lack of dedication. I bame the girlfriends, efore anyone came alongand it was basically us four and Sadie.. everything was peachy, no fighting or anyones bullshit. no politcs or bitching about how someone doesnt get to see a band member anymore. but I guess its not all her fauly when the guy fucking places online gaming or hunting above the band and her...

How do you Cope with the weights of the world?
What happens when the one thing that releases you from all fo your problems simply becomes the problem?
Why do we as a whole put ourselves through a hell to benifit some kids we dont even know.
Fuck your society.

These nights I wonder why
true feeling shine in paradise
and in your eyes you see I lose
You have closed the book so tight
and now you think you've won the fight
Your false thoughts filled with skies so blue
My perfect paradise; A ruined life
Such noisy silence
who said I would never give in deep within
when it all caught up again
One day you'll see my side
and you'll realize what i've been through
and you knew
And all has one done to you
you, with convictions so untrue
I even bet you forget your feelings so few
Yet when dead eyes pass by you
breathe out the flame that could start anew
turns this pain to hate; this hate to rage inside my thoughts of you
One million miles, One million thoughts, One million pointless angels...
With hope, less frowns, for false hope brings smiles in such noisy silence!
