It was a mindfuck like no other.
You wish you were me.
I like the kids I'm friends with.
The new American Nightmare and Alexisonfire are awesome.

Anyone want to help?

And G0D said to Abraham...go to POSI FEST!!

Well I went to Bane/Mental/The Promise/Comeback Kid at the ICC Church in Allston. When I say this was awesome, it's an understatement.

Comeback Kid got a huge response.
The Promise was good.
Mental was really good.
And then BANE came on.
Everyone loves them.
I got hurt, and puked outside.
I made myself look like an ass.

Thats my night.

ok so heres my dayyy

2003-09-11T23:47:11Z

I love my classes and kids on the floor. God Father marathons and Family Guy viewings all night. We went bowling using my rollerchair, basically rolling me into the wall at the end of the hallway, but got yelled at by the RA of the hall. My classes are awesome. Intro to Sociology is gonna be a breeze. The teacher is a crackhead. Intro to CJ will be tough but fun. Here is a list of shows I'm going to so far:

Tomorrow: Ted Leo (solo) at the Middle East
Saturday: BANE at the ICC Church
Thursday: Cursive/Blood Brothers at the Middle East
Monday September 29th: Built to Spill at the Paradise
Saturday October 4th: Juliana Theory/Count the Stars at the Axis
Wednesday October 8th: Hot Hot Heat/French Kicks at the Axis
Friday October 17th: Interpol/Elefant at the Avalon
Saturday October 25th: The Mars Volta at the Avalon
Wednesday October 29th: Ted Leo/Pharmasists at the Paradise
Thursday October 30th: Bouncing Souls at the Avalon
Friday November 14th: Phantom Planet at the Axis
Friday November 21st: Saves the Day/Taking Back Sunday at the Avalon

If you wanna go with me or are going let me know.

First day as a Northeastern Student....REVIEWED!!!

2003-09-08T03:19:05Z

Got "breakfast" with Cassandra and Donovan. I made an sausage egg and cheese on a bagel. It was terrible. We met up with her friend Alex who cas met at orientation, he's a really chill guy, nothing but good vibes. We then met up with this kid Marc, again nothing but good vibes coming outta this kid. We (Cas, Dono, Marc, Myself) took the T into harvard square, walked around a bit, I got some killer stuff at Urban (hold in the gags). I got myself a nice "mosh" hat and a pair of sunglasses. I thought they were just rockstar glasses, they turned out to be womens glasses. Whatever, they look good and why ruin a good thing? We met up with Fredermania and two of his friends from Tufts. I didn't recieve any vibes from these kids, they suck. In the world of cookies, they were buttermilk, flavorless in all meanings of the word. I owned the guy in the goodbye handshake, what wouldve made it better would be if I said "OWNED!!!" but I didn't. I looked for Black Star albums, but they are like impossible to find. I also spent $5.50 on a fucking icecream cone. It was good icecream but for $5.50 I want an orgasm when I eat the icecream. I met up with some kids who I went to H.S. with and we were gonna go to a party but I for one don't want to be kicked out day 2. So I'm calling it not quits but putting things on hold for now. I want to start the year off right.

2003-09-07T14:53:15Z

Fucking amazing. Tony pulled thru for us and got amazing seats. How amazing you ask? 14th fucking row dead center amazing. Bruce is a monster. He had to abide by a stupid noise ordinance because the people who live around the field didn't want to be kept awake. Bullshit, they listened to the entire show. The set was one of the best I've ever seen. He played all the classics, as well as opened with Take Me Out to the Ball Game! Who the hell opens with that song? I dunno, but it was awesome. I'll post the setlist when I have everything situated here. Ok by now. I'll also post an update on how the move-in was and how I like it. Ciao

2003-09-05T03:34:18Z

What's with the new live journal format? It sucks.

Also, Boys Night Out is my new favorite band.

Also, also, I found out from Zach, the lead singer of Vendetta Red, that they are going on a college tour with the Ataris and will have a Boston date.

Also, also, also, I need to add the new From Auttum to Ashes cd to my purchase list. It comes out next tuesday, the same day as Andrew W.K.

So the list is as follows:

9/9
Andrew W.K.
FATA
Saves the Day

9/16
Thursday
Billy Talent

9/23
Boys Night Out

10/7
Coheed and Cambria

Who woulda thunk that Saves the Day would cause so much problems?

2003-09-04T16:16:03Z

Chris, look man, I have nothing to say to you. You have nothing on me, you are making yourself look more pathetic each time you comment. Do yourself a favor and just go away. You talk about how I'm trying to get with Caitlin. Actually, I'm just being nice because it seems you weren't. You are still going to class at a 2 year community college. The funny thing though is that you started when you were 18. You think that you make more than my parents? My dad is a dentist and my mom is a speech pathologist. Don't make claims you can't back up, especially when someone calls you on it. I have no problem with you talking shit in my journal because I find it funny, you are the cliche highschool big shot who did nothing with his life after graduation. Oh, and I'm not from team Integra. I don't own an acura. I own a Jeep. And it's stock. Why? Because making cars something that they aren't is tacky. Take your pseudo-street racer and go away. Oh and what type of guy buys a purple car?

matt_roth @ 2003-09-03T21:37:00

2003-09-04T01:38:03Z

i need to add another cd to the purchase list...saves the day.

matt_roth @ 2003-09-03T18:14:00

2003-09-03T22:26:37Z

I'm bored...thank god I'm going out tomorrow because right now I hate my life. Please, please, please, someone give me ideas on what I should do tonight. I'm beggin yah.

matt_roth @ 2003-09-03T18:07:00

2003-09-03T22:18:57Z

Oh, and the upcoming weeks are definitely music weeks. Next week, Andrew WK's new album hits stores. September 16th, Billy Talent and Thursday. Coheed and Cambria's album is coming out soon, and from what I've heard, it's amazing. It's 2 discs and 13 songs, and really dark. I can't wait.

matt_roth @ 2003-09-03T18:01:00

2003-09-03T22:11:56Z

I saw John Edwards. He's a chump. He supposedly speaks to dead people. I yelled at the crowd at the Barnes and Nobles who were waiting to see him, "I see dead people". I got alot of dirty looks.

More to come later.

Shop till you drop

2003-09-02T20:09:22Z

I shop. I like to shop. I shop way too much. I think I shop more than most gays. In the past 24 hours, I purchased 2 jackets (1 jean from abercrombie, 1 holister), 2 t-shirts from American Eagle, 1 collared t-shirt from Abercrombie, 2 long-sleeved collared shirts from Hollister, 1 pair of shorts from Abercrombie. I also purchased the following cd's.

Bon Jovi- Crossroads
Guns n Roses- Appetite for Destruction
Hot Hot Heat
The Faint

as well as the following DVD's.

Kindergarden Cop
Twins
Bowling for Columbine
Good Will Hunting

I also must say that I am no longer pissed at the person I was pissed at. And that I need to appologize to someone (you know who you are) for ignoring you. I must also say that the ex of one of my friends is a douchebag.

Thats it for now. I will be in Boston friday, where I will have dinner at Abe&Louie's. They have amazing, suculent steaks there. I move into Northeastern Saturday and then that night I will see BROOOOOOCE!! Haha, that will be my 6th show of his this summer. I guess I am kinda obsessed.

matt_roth @ 2003-08-30T17:06:00

2003-08-30T21:11:45Z

So I decided not to go to the Springsteen show tonight. It's raining, I didn't have a ticket, and the venue is 50 minutes away. It was a gamble and the fact that it's raining woulda been worse. I love Springsteen, I know his sets are awesome in the rain, but I was gonna go alone, and Springsteen alone is not as great an experience. So I need suggestions on what to do tonight.

I got some beer and the highway's free

2003-08-30T17:33:33Z

I am soo bored in jersey that its rediculous. All my friends are outta state already and the one's that are in state for school are lame. I hate living in jersey. I have spent my week waiting patiently for school to start. I have watched Animal House twice, Two Towers once, and Say Anything three times. I am gonna be broke because I'm going to Bruce shows to ease my boredum. Not that it's bad going to Bruce shows, but I'm gonna be trying to get a scalped ticket for tonight's show.

I can't wait until I'm at Northeastern. I like the kids that I've spoken to from the school or who are going to be freshmen. I already have movie buddies and concert buddies. I have no complaints but I hope I can balance school and social stuff cause I sure as hell don't want to end up back in Jersey.

i hate getting blown off

2003-08-29T04:21:38Z

If you make plans and can't keep to them, the propper thing to do is to make a call and let the person know that you can't keep the plans. I seriously lost a ton of respect for the person who did this to me because I was waiting all day for word on if she was coming down for Bruce. I called atleast 40 times, left a ton of messages on her tape, and spoke to her mother who had no idea where she was. You know who you are, just know that an appology is needed for your actions.

Anyway, Bruce was amazing....again. He played "Darkness on the Edge of town" and "out on the street". He also played "Independence day". Amazing show. You shoulda been there. I did drink some beer and I can say that Bruce is alot more enjoyable with alcohol in you. Jesus, i love Bruce. Oh and I got to hang out with Stevermania. He's awesome too but not as awesome as Bruce.

matt_roth @ 2003-08-28T14:33:00

2003-08-28T18:38:06Z

I'm seeing bruce tonight. I love this guy. He's soo entertaining. By far the best performer...ever! I heard that he may play jersey girl. If he does I will bust a nut. He never plays jersey girl and it would be the greatest surprise ever. I'm predicting he'll play "out on the street" "darkness on the edge of town" "jungleland" and "sherry darling". If he plays those, my night would be complete. I'll post the set list when i get home. Ciao live journal. Oh and if anyone wants to call me during the show and hear what he's playing, my cell is 732-616-5884.

so i just went cd/dvd shopping

2003-08-27T19:58:25Z

I got the following CD's and DVD's. I'll give my opinions on each as well.

Black Eyed Peas- "ELEPHUNK": I had heard these guys 2 years ago when they were on tour with Lit and No Doubt. They were good then and I liked their style and sound. My feelings were correct, they rock. Great CD.

Nas- "Stillmatic": I saw him last year with Twallib Kweli. I liked him alot. He is soo positive and isn't your normal rapper. Instead of singing about poppin caps and fucking hoes, he talks about black problems. The best song is "One Mic".

Nas- "God's son": Again he is very positive. "I can" is almost a black history song and a good sounding song. "Thugz Mansion" gives me goosebumps, especially when Tupac raps.

The Mars Volta- "de-loused in the comatorium": Ok so I didn't really like the songs I heard at first. But I decided to take a chance and buy this cd. I love it. Kinda reminds me of At the Drive In, and it should, it has members of At the Drive In.

Bruce Springsteen- "Darkness on the Edge of Town": One of the few Bruce cd's i didn't have, I had to purchase it. I love the title track. I love bruce.

Bruce Springsteen- "The River": My Bruce collection is almost complete. I like the two disks. Out on the street is my favorite song.

DVD's

Animal House
Lord of the Rings- Two Towers
Say Anything

my weekend reviewed

2003-08-26T18:56:36Z

Drove out to long island on friday. Stayed with Cassandra. She fucking rocks. We went to the outlets in riverhead and I got me a pair of brown pumas and some kickass shit at J Crew. Yeah thats my fucking crew, what? what? We then drove to H&M and I got some killer shit. I look like a fucking good looking guy in it. Watch out boston girls. I also got the new Rancid cd and Born to Run. I also got to meet Fred *her boyfriend* and her friend Gus. Both were uber-chill. We saw Freddy v. Jason, it was stupid but surprising. We tried to see the secret lives of dentists but got lost and basically ended up in Queens. She's coming down tomorrow because Thursday we are seeing BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCEEE!!!

Cas- secret lives is playing near me...and i know where it's playing. Huzzah!!

Girls like cars and money

2003-08-20T22:22:51Z

Haha yeah the subject has nothing to do with this entry.

I saw Radiohead. The are uber-good. I got to hang out with my gal pal (wow that sounded uber-gay) Cas. Such a good show and good times. We saw Steve Malkmus open up and were both kinda dissappointed that he didn't play any pavement. Bummer. Radiohead was amazing. Even though I'm not as huge a fan as Cas, I still enjoyed making the same noises at the same pitch as the singer. It was uber-fun. The highlight though was my "dansing" to the song "everything in it's right place". Actually it wasn't dansing, it was self-depreciating sex because that song is emotionless. Cas and her friend i think his name was Kyle, were laughing because while i was having my depreiating sex, I had a silly ass grin on my face. Think a Down-syndromned seel smiling.

The other highlight was stealing her JSA/JLA book. HAHA completely random and fun at the same time.

I'm visiting her this weekend and it will be my first time driving the belt by myself. I hate this road with a passion.

I am kinda bummed that everyone is leaving for school because there isn't a lot to do now. But in the upcoming weeks before school, I have the following stuff that I will do.

August 28th- Bruce
August 29th- Atryu
September 3rd- Dashboard
September 4th- Vendetta Red

Not too bad. I'll probably make some trips into the city as well. That's my big update for now. Ciao, and everyone shoulda seen *GIGLE it was by far the best movie of the year.

*Note: I didn't actually see GIGLE.

Whats with the fucking male ego?

2003-08-14T02:13:37Z

So I finally understand why girls have problems with guys embellishing stories. While a girl is able to talk to girls and say exactly what happened, a guy needs to make a story sound better to thus impose his masculine greatness. Take today for instance, my friend who will remain nameless had sex with a girl last night, he told "the guys" at work that he had sex for 3 hours! 3 Fucking Hours! Who the fuck does he think he is? Sting? Meanwhile, the girl will probably tell her friends it was at most an hour, still quite respectable, but not rediculous. I dunno, maybe I'm just having fun listening to obvious bullshit. That's all for now. If you read my journal, comment on this cause I think that males and females have an opinion on this.

Fucking Eh.

2003-08-12T04:38:06Z

The priest was the funniest person. His best joke?

A priest, a rapist, and a pedophile walk into a bar....and that was only the first person. HAHAHAAHAHA...amazing.

2003-08-11T22:17:45Z

So I was watching Conan and he is showing new state quarters. Some of them are like:

New Jersey: The only state the Indians gave away

Arkansas: The last S is silent like our women

Connecticut: The state the red sox drive through after losing to the Yankees

North Dakota: Now with black people

Louisianna: You're not fat here friend.

haha...and he also made fun of the greatest movie of the year...GIGLE.
