Just got back from the dentist. I'm getting gold-plated teeth. Yea, who's a thug now?
Actually, I went because I had a pain in my lower right teeth. I thought maybe my filling had come out or something, but then I saw my x-ray and realized what it was. Unfortunately, so did they.
So I now have to call the Facial Surgery Center of Brevard, because unlike the dentist told me 3 months ago, I DO have to get my wisdom teeth pulled. Yay!
#!$%^&.
I hate doctors and surgery and stuff and this is not making my Spring Break any better. I'm either going in on the 12th (two weeks from now) or the 19th (the following Monday).
//
Listened to Glen Beck on the way there. Hi-freaking-larious. So I bet a lot of people have heard about the 4,000 jobs that MCI cut, and how the Democrats are blaming the slumping economy under Bush. Well, that's funny, because the jobs that were cut were at the MCI call centers. Why? Because of the "No Calls" list that was created and passed by the Dems. How ironic!
Listened to Rush Limbaugh on the way home. So funny. This Clarke guy is saying how Connie Rice didn't even seem to know who Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda were when he questioned her about them. That's funny because in an interview in October of 2000 (11 months before 9/11) she went into great detail about Bin Laden and the terrorist threat, and even went into prophetic detail about how the CIA and FBI needed to be more talkative and sharing with their information (which was a direct reason 9/11 was allowed to occur). She then said that Bin Laden needed to be stopped before he had a succesful attack on American soil (wow, I feel like I'm listening to Nostradamus). Besides, for the first 10 months of the Bush administration, all of the security personnel and leaders were hold-overs from the Clinton administration.
I hate stupid liberals. Now don't get me wrong, I love love love FDR. Great man, great Democrat. I am also not a party-line voter. If there were a better Democrat than Kerry I would actually consider voting as a liberal this term, but... Kerry is just a moron. He's going to implode before this election is over, just like Dean did. If I had my choice, I'd vote for Alan Keyes. That man would be the best President I think. And he's black, too!
Who else would I vote for... Colin Powell. Yea, he's awesome. I love that guy, he just... rocks.
Anyways, I can't wait to vote =] Bush '04.
Ohohohoh, and I highly respect Mark. HIGHLY. He's such a Democrat, yet even he realizes how stupid Kerry is and will be voting against him (so I hear). Smart move, Mark. <3
//
Anyways, I'm off. I think I'm going to a baseball game tonight.

About Meghan and I no longer going to the show together...
MeGhAn: i was looking forward to it
GoldenGlove9: perhaps
GoldenGlove9: another time
GoldenGlove9: maybe it was like
GoldenGlove9: god telling us not to go
GoldenGlove9: because id go
GoldenGlove9: and see TJ
GoldenGlove9: and i'd talk to him
GoldenGlove9: and he'd be like
GoldenGlove9: "yea, i did your girlfriend"
GoldenGlove9: and id get mad
GoldenGlove9: and hit him
MeGhAn: aww
GoldenGlove9: and he'd rape me
GoldenGlove9: cause he rapes girls a lot or something
GoldenGlove9: then he'd
GoldenGlove9: tear me apart
GoldenGlove9: because he's like
GoldenGlove9: buff
GoldenGlove9: and i'm scrawny
GoldenGlove9: and then Joe would be like "Oh my god, TJ killed Matt!"
GoldenGlove9: and Ben would come over
MeGhAn: haha
GoldenGlove9: and do a hardcore dance on my intestines
MeGhAn: shut up
GoldenGlove9: the ned.
Disclaimer: TJ did not do my girlfriend, and he doesn't rape girls. TJ is the friggin coolest drummer in the world, and one of the coolest people generally speaking in all of Florida. Also, Joe would... ok, that's what Joe would do. And Ben probably wouldn't dance on my intestines, because, well, that's just gross.

An outtake recording from our first practice. This was the first time we all played this song together at the same time, so don't mind the rough transitions. Recording quality is due to the setup: One mic on the floor in the middle of the room recording the drums, the guitar through an amp, and the vocals through an amp. Talk about competing noises. Enough excuses.
Lyrics/Vocals: Sean Van Kirk
Guitar: Ryan Jackson
Drums: Matthew Congrove
Composition: So far we're unnamed!
Minutes long as days, and these days are too long.
This road is worn from the wars that we fought.
Empty shells, the least of what remains.
The battle field is scarred, and the earth unscathed.
Well there's not much of my heart worth fighting for,
There's not much of my heart worth dying for.
I'll fight for the home that I have.
I fight for the home that I have.
Your heart is my home,
I'll fight for you.
I'll make it back alive.
Only scars on my heart.

Woohoo, I don't care any more!
It's an epiphany, really. It is!
I used to care about opinions and such. A lot. Like, I wouldn't drink because then people would be disappointed in me. I quit smoking because people got upset that I was going to slowly kill myself. I wouldn't curse because I wanted people to think I'm something that I'm not. I went to church because I like to, but I told everyone about it because I wanted them all to think I'm a good Christian boy.
WELL SCREW IT.
I wouldn't drink or smoke because of Ashley and Tara.
I wouldn't curse because of Sean and Joey.
I wouldn't admit my agnosticism because of Ashlea and Amanda.
There. It's alllll out in the open now. All of you who I hid from now know the real Matthew Jack Congrove.
The end!
PS- A flash back from last year;
*points to self* "This is me... not caring."

Thisismeslowlydying.
I've had a few drinks. That's apparently more friends than I have.
Called Stephanie. She said she'd call back. Sure.
Asked Amanda to come over. Her mom won't let her.
Megan is at a show.
Mark is in Ft Lauderdale.
Ryan and Sean are in Jacksonville.
Matt Congrove is here. Yay!
Idontevenlikebeer.
What am I doing? What am I not doing? What am I doing... wrong?
Why can I not make a friend in this forsaken town.

I push friends away. I am shy.
End result: I am as lonely as I've ever been.

Yea, this totally sucks.
Great day this is.

So I definitly meant to grab a 12pack of Corona, not Heineken.
//
Work tonight. Blah. After work tonight. <3. Peter Frampton and loving your way.
//
Tomorrow, Ryan and Sean come. Well, that is of course if they ever call one another and make some decisions, haha. It shall rock.
//
Photo class was great last night. I am the first person all year to have NOTHING wrong with their picture. Nothing at all. No one could see anything wrong. No one, in the entire class. Not even the instructor. I felt very, very, very good about that.
//
I miss people.
//
Tomorrow I'm doing a photo shoot. With my lawn. I can't explain it right now, because it's a surprise! I think it will be interesting. I totally found the idea by accident while making a pinhole camera (coincidence? I think not).
//
I am tired. Good.
//
Night.

Alkaline Trio VS. Senses Fail:
I guess I'll have to go with Senses Fail. Unfortunately.
Mae VS. Dashboard Confessional:
I would've said Mae until their show. Dashboard, now. Even though 'Summertime' is SO FUN to play to.
Vendetta Red VS. Rufio:
Rufio.
Motion City Soundtrack VS. The All-American Rejects:
MCS has a great song in 'The Future Freaks Me Out', and it's the only song I have dance moves made up for, but AAR has songs consistantly better (plus Tyson is hot).
Cursive VS. Jets to Brazil:
Jets To Brazil. I didn't like Cursive much when I saw them.
Finch VS. Count the Stars:
Chris <3 Is that enough of a reason to choose CTS (even though they broke up?).
Millencolin VS. The Used:
The Used, I guess. They have lots of energy and I admire that.
The Movielife VS. A Static Lullaby:
DEFINITLY A Static Lullaby. "And I just wanna get you're ****in voice out of my head."
Bowling For Soup VS. The Get Up Kids:
The Get Up Kids, even though they're way, way, way too emo for me most of the time. The song about Amy is good though.
Bright Eyes VS. Further Seems Forever:
FSF, no matter who sings for them. I think their drive is overwhemingly amazing, and I love their sound and lyrics.
American HI-FI VS.The Ataris:
The Ataris, I assume.
The Early November VS. Death cab For Cutie:
Wow, TEN sucks a lot. And Death Cab is amazing.
Saves The Day VS. Keepsake:
KEEPSAKE! OMG I can't believe they're on this survey lol. Too bad they broke up, too. So I guess it'd be more correct to choose Sound of Silence.
Jimmy Eat World VS. Rooney:
I'd choose death before either of them.
Fenix TX VS. MxPx:
Wow, I forgot all about Fenix TX <3
//
Well starting tonight I have the house to myself for a week. Who wants to spend the night tonight? If you're a guy, we can have fun playing music and drinking, etc. If you're a girl... ;). Just kidding! Well, as Nelly would say, "unless yur gunna do it."

Richard A Clarke. He's the ex-counterterrorism coordinator under the Clinton administration, and part of the beginning of Bush's. He's the one who's talking to badly about the Bush administrations job on preventing 9/11, and how Bush took the information handed to him by the Clinton Administration (warning of a terrorist attack) and practically ignored it and it's importance. Well, it's funny he should say that, because in August 2002, he said something completely different!
"Actually, I've got about seven points, let me just go through them quickly. Um, the first point, I think the overall point is, there was no plan on Al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration..."
[other stuff I won't bore you with]
"...So, point five, that process which was initiated in the first week in February, uh, decided in principle, uh in the spring to add to the existing Clinton strategy and to increase CIA resources, for example, for covert action, five-fold, to go after Al Qaeda."
So, first off, there was no information handed down on Al Qaeda to the Bush administration, or at least nothing of significance. And, on top of that, the Bush administration increated the resources to go after Al Qaeda "five-fold". Well it sure sounds like someone is telling a little lie! Perhaps it's to promote his new book that he just put out on this topic, which bashes the Bush administration.
I say we put him in jail for lying under oath.
But that's just me =]

"Pretend this razor is your lips. You're finding ways to kiss me (ways to kiss me) deeply on the wrist."
Submitting my digital art/web design/programming/photograhy portfolio CD to Brandt & Ronat sometimee very soon, probably next Friday. I'm nervous. They've won the Addy Awards for what, 3 years running now? They're advertising and marketing geniuses. They're the only company my Dad will do business with.
I would kill to work there. Plus I hear they have hot secretaries ;) And only one guy works there. And he's like... 40, and ugly.

| Ashlea and Parents |
[22 Mar 2004|02:05am] |
I know Ashlea will not be able to read this, and I'm sure her parents won't bother checking here any more, but I just wanted to apologize. I didn't intend for anything like this to happen. I'm sorry that this was created as a way to judge me, because this is where I'm at my worst. This is where I run to when I need to get away, when I'm in pain, and when I feel like no one wants to listen. I should be better than this, and I'm working on that. I'm working on me. I've limited my anger, my foul mouth (which many can attest to), and my rebellious ways. Yes, I still plan on moving out. Yes, I still have a hateful relationship with my father. But I've tried. I really have. I'd love to tell you all of the things we've gone through, but I shouldn't, because I am not going to do that to him. And I do not have a "I'm going to move out because I hate you" attitude any more. I'm moving out because it's the best for everyone. Me, Mom, Dad and Michael. Even Grandma and Grandpa. And because of that I will be able to attend church on a regular basis, and will be allowed to spend time with quality friends who live good lives and will influence me in a positive way, and will live with those very same people. And I'm sorry that I've now lost one of those influences because of this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I hate that everyone who makes me love life is taken away so abruptly. This is my own fault.

Well today was absolutely brilliant and fun! I drove to Jacksonville and had a most wonderful time with Ryan and Sean.
We wrote a song, and I must brag, it sounds great.
We also wrote the music to another song. It is so fun to play!
We even practiced and polished up our three existing songs.
All that's left is to finish up the first new one, get vocals and lyrics for the second, make a few small changes to the existing ones, and I need to get my effects pedal fixed! It broke today.
We played from 1PM until 7PM. A nice six hour long session of music.
You all better watch out in the days and weeks to come, let me tell you now!
Ryan and Sean... thank you, guys, for making today so enjoyable. Thank you for being my bandmates. Thank you for rocking out!

I need some photos from others to post in my Photography Showcase on my new website (www.barcodedesigns.com/visualdissonance). Mark, I know you're reading this, and I knowwwww you want to send me a picture to put up =] Anyone else is welcome to send me stuff, too! I might do a once-per-week feature, so don't get mad if I don't put it up anytime soon! Please email them to matthewcongrove@cfl.rr.com Thanks! (Oh, PS, if you can, shrink them to around 500-700pixels wide). Film pictures only! No digital crap please (unless it's absolutely stunning and shot with an amazingly high quality digital camera, like an SLR).

So, I can't drive my car now except to work and school for the most part. There goes music! There goes Sunday. There goes recording next weekend.
There goes church.
There goes all of my friends.
I dreaded the day when they'd take my car and computer and cell phone away, but I think this is much worse.
I just want to run away to West Palm again.
