"Indie Rock and Roll for Me"

Ok, so on Thursday little Melissa and I went to Spot Coffee (I got tea). She seems to have shrunk even more since the last time I've seen her. Anyway, we are sitting there at the window facing Elmwood enjoying our beverages and conversation, when all of a sudden these two girls come along. The one girl comes up and bangs on the window, so I look up and give her the ol' eyebrow raised look and wave the back of my hand at her. She says something to the effect of, "oh, I don't like you." Then she says, "are you two together?" and Melissa and I shake our heads "no." And then the girl outside looks at Melissa and says, "good, because you could do a lot better than him."

Can you believe that?!?!?!? What a shot in the arm of self-esteem that was!

She was probably wicked drunk and felt bad because I am so good looking and out of her league.

Wake Up The Dead!!

"You said, you said, you said, this time was gonna be different!!"
New Comeback Kid is awesome. All 25 minutes of it. I wish it was longer, but there is no crap on it and just a solid 25 minutes of awesomeness, so I guess I'll be ok.
www.purevolume.com/comebackkid for two of their new songs.


Thank you Media for Tween Viewers and your damn Sweet Sixteen show! Now I have a whole new group of people to hate (this seems like an ever growing list).

It is 201 miles to get from the Mobile in West Corners (Endicott) to the parking lot behind my apartment. I had a pretty fun time at home. Saw a lot of my family, ate some good food, went to Molly's basketball game, and saw Kris and Kim (along with Matt, but that's not really exciting!!).

When I was home the newspaper had some quotes from Washington and Lincoln in honor of President's Day. Here are some that I liked:
Washington:

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them confidence.

If freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent may be led, like sleep to the slaughter.

Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire, called conscience.


Lincoln:

Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (you know who you are!)

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

And my favorite:

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.



Wasn't that fun?

No?

Well screw you!



I was at Target today and this woman was standing by me and kept saying over and over again, "Unghhh, touch it." So I made a new mad dope hip-hop song with that as the chorus, now all I need are the verses. "Ungh, ungh, a touch it, touch it. Ungh, a touch it. Ungh, ungh, a touch it, touch it." What is "it" whatever you want it to be.

School has been going well.

I've been going to the gym, getting all buff. I've lost almost 5 pounds .

I went snowboarding last week for the first time in a few years and that was a ton of fun. I went to Holiday Valley and they had so many trails and something like 3 or 4 terrain parks. It was awesome. Oh, and I'm proud to say that I didn't fall once.

I had this big "deodorant fiasco" for the last couple weeks. Basically I stunk. No matter how much deodorant I used, I'd go to the gym and I would stink. So I'm at the gym and Matt and I are talking about it and all of a sudden Matt says, "dude, it's probably not anti-perspirant." In my head I'm thinking about it and the deodorant I am using is Adidas Team Force for athletes. How could a deodorant designed for athletes not be anti-perspirant? Well it wasn't. But now I have anti-perspirant deodorant and I don't stink anymore. I'm glad and so are the people at the gym.

I'm going home this weekend for a couple days because I am going to Florida for Spring Break and I won't see my family at all. But yes, in my important news, I am going to Florida for Spring Break. Dan, Matt, the Hontzs andI are driving down and staying at my grandparent's place while they are on a cruise. We'll be in Vero Beach which from what I am hearing is a good location.

Well that's about it.

New Comeback Kid comes out this Tuesday. I'm excited.

"Blame It On The Housing Projects"

Yearbook quotes and nicknames I've had over the years:
6th Grade: IQ Boy Yeah, that's right, people called me IQ Boy!

7th Grade:

Nicknames: Vocab Q&R and Sperm Boy I'm not sure about Vocab Q&R but a lot of girls called me Sperm Boy for some reason.

"To Kyle,
Death to Kyle.
Kris Hontz." Then there is a stick figure with a knife sticking out of its head. Thanks Kris.

"Sup? HAve a great summer. You're still a pain in the ass. But that's you. See you around" I couldn't make out the signature.

"Buzzoff Jackass!! - Maria Sanchez"

"Hey big mouth, how is the Rhino!" Rachel
Then a page later she wrote, "Kyle is all that and a bag of SHIT!"

In huge letters:
"Have a nice summer. FUCK YOU." Another signature I couldn't make out.

"Hey sperm man, don't go to far this summer. Oh yeah I forgot you'll never get there. Ha, Ha." Leann

"Hey-
Spermboy
Keep on swimming!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
-Erin"

Make note of all the girls and what they wrote, and compare that with what people write to me when I'm in High school.

8th Grade

"Kyle, Time to get some new shirts. The Tick and 311 shirts are getting old! Brandon Yergey"
At least teachers didn't pronounce my name "you're gay."

"Kyle

311
Stone Temple Pilots
KISS...
Tony Smith"

"Ola Wolfman,
C-Ya later.
EJ"

"Kyle,

I didn't buy a yearbook in 9th grade.

10th Grade:

"Wolf-
This summer will be cool. We gotta skate and practice. You WILL (double underlined) find a chick. Don't give up. Joe"

"Kyle-
I love you more than anything in the whole world. Even Sean. Your balls are really big and hairry and I love them too! Keep it real! We have to jam sometime. Call me. Rock-n-Roll. Josh Miner"

"Wolf,
Once you become famous me and you prolly won't talk anymore. So while ur not famous, let's hang out. Greg."

"Wolf,

"Hey Kyle, You're pretty hot man. So keep iot hardcore. Remember lots of boobs, butts and no weiner action. Stay hot man. Love always, Sean Every."

"Pickle Partner,

Let me clarify something, we were not gay. We were partners in the made up gym class game, "Pickleball."

Nickname: Wolf "as in the animal"

11th Grade:

"Wolfff, You stinkin Hitler wannabe. I hope you get some breaks next year with the ladies. Carrrrl." Hitler wannabe = because I am mostly of German descent.

"Kyle, You honkey merman!! First of all MxPx sucks, and hip-hop rules!! Loco Perros forever!! Dan Magan" Loco Perros was a gang I was in, in High school. It consisted of Dan Magan and myself.

Nickname - Woof, Wolfshien, BB (if you ask me about this one, I'll deny it to the end)

"Wolf (BB),
Well I hope you get chicks (before college). Or at least hire a stripper or two. So you should get your license. Kyle (Hippie)" For my 17th birthday, which was a couple weeks before we got yearbooks, my friends tried to get a stripper to come to my house, but couldn't raise the funds.


12th Grade:

"What's up Wolf, math this year was so unfair. I truly despise Mr. Smith and his damn head. And don't let anyone tell you that 'you know nothing.' Have a good summer. Crazy Carmine"

"Kyle,
I hope life treats you better than Mr. Smith did. John Pelowski."

"Hey Wolfman,
This year kicked some ass. Volleyball will always be awesome and we will always dominate. Brad Gross donkey punched me what a fag. We're not gay, we're musicians. Moonskuad the Movie. Love, TFK Matt Lea"

Thanks Matt, of all the things in the world you could write to me in my yearbook, you mention Brad Gross donkey punching you.

The most random signature ever:
"Wolf,
P.O.W., Rocco is Raul, Zu is dead, died in a satellite. Jahelha is Jahomo. Carl"

"Kyle,
Best wishes to one of my favorite public speakers. Your humor was fantastic. Mr. Hynes"
That's right bitches, a shout out from a teacher saying that I am funny!

"Kyle -
It has been a great 4 years. Straight edge X. Stephen Askew" For the record, I never was, nor have ever been, straight edge.

"Kyle-
You are such (underlined twice) a cool person. I am so lucky to have gotten to know you! You're always so sweet to me! I'll never forget that! You're a super-fun person to be around! I know you'll do well, but best of luck anyway!! Keep in touch. Much love-Dorothy"
Maybe she really did like me after all.

Well there you go, a little look back on my life for you to laugh at.





My classes have been going really well.

I'm writing a script for a movie that is loosely based on my life last year (school year, not calendar year) on Bird Ave. Just the premise of the movie is based on it. For example, four roommates (all male though) and the adventures that they have. After listening to the Napoleon Dynamite commentary and hearing the co-writer say how much of the movie came from real life, I decided to do something similar using things from my life. I have an outline done right now with some major plot points and jokes. If you want to see it, either to read it or to add some ides, just ask me and I'll e-mail it to you.
