Happy 50 days 'til christmas (Oops)

Hey guys...

So...

How ya been?

I've been doing well, thanks for asking...

Yeah I know I haven't written in a while but right now I should be writing a 10 page research paper so I figured it would be a perfect time to start writing about everything that's happened in the last month or so. And at different times I've had almost half a mind to give a lot of these events their own post but I've just never motivated myself to do it... So sorry.

Starting with the most recent thing, I was kinda home in RI last weekend, I flew in Friday night and left Sunday evening... saw the fam and a lot of Abbey people at breakfast which was nice, me and Claire grabbed lunch a titio's and caught up which was nice. And no offense but that all paled in comparison to my Saturday. Now on Saturday my dad and I went to the World Series to watch the New York Mets play the Kanas City Royals. Now if you know me, you know I'm a die hard Mets fan (Read: glutton for punishment) and watching them blow a one run lead in the eighth inning to go down three to one in the World Series kinda sucked, but leading up to a bases clearing double by Ben Zobris in the 8th inning I had one of the most amazing days of my life. Now this was one of the things I wanted to give a post to. A lot of my friends don't really understand my love for sports, they either don't play sports or don't follow them or for what ever reason just don't have the affinity for sports that I do. When my dad and I watch the Mets, or the Jets, or the Knicks, but especially the Mets, there is a generational bridge and compradore among fans. Meeting other fans at the Stadium that night and just becoming friends because we were both wearing blue and orange. Being a sports fan and watching your team succeed is just a such a great feeling. It's like watching people you know have a good performance, but it's also a competition, and there were 175 competitions all leading up to that. You've seen them struggle and over come obstacles and it's a journey unlike any other I'd say. So yeah, it was a big deal for me and something I will remember and treasure for a long, long time. This is up there with Everything or Nothing playing their first show and the births of my brothers that will hold a place in my head forever.

Besides that awesome weekend, I've been working, and doing school work, and trying to write a second EP for Everything or Nothing. We are going into studio in December and I just write down lines and couplets  when ever something pops into my head. I have a wacky writing style but C does most of it so I try to keep what I do fairly organized. Started writing in a little black journal, just lyrics and daily musings, I've fallen behind that too though... Guess I am too busy with SCHOOL WORK, or not, I don't know, whatever. I got my acoustic guitar down at school so that's nice to have now. Learned "Get Low" and "Hotline Bling" last night which was a fun little experiment. Besides that my SSIR (Sophomore Scholars in Residence) group that's taking me to Cuba in January is getting closer and we've been hanging out a lot more which is nice to, that could be adding to me not writing. Its gotten to the point where I'm texting some of them more than my peeps back home, which didn't happen very much last year. But it's nice in a way I guess. I still probably do a little too much thinking in my free time, about the future, fantasies and nightmares and just mental wanderings that distract me from living in the moment. I've gotten the new State Champs Album and T Shirt which are both amazing as well as a CD burner so that all my Bruce Springsteen and pop-punk CDs are now on my phone and computer.

I registered for my spring semester classes on Tuesday. That means I am 3/8 of the way through college and that's kinda insane to think about. Again, thinking about the future is very cool but I'm not sure I wanna move that quickly, but at the same time I do. Ah the troubles and trepidations of youth.. Oh and I'm taking bass lessons next semester too so that will be fun, a full 4 months of fun right there. College is so weird, you're living but your not, it's a strange balance between surviving from one deadline to another and enjoying each day for what it can offer. I myself feel like I get lost in the shuffle of the first option a little too much, so I'm trying to work on that.

So yeah...

Nice filling you guys in,

Any questions, concerns or basic bothering notes feel free to tell my secretary

Jk... just text me, let's talk, it's been too long

See y'all on November 19th (the 29th the latest (for real we need to hangout))

Probably Not What You Think

Whelp, it's that time of year again... the longest summer of the year is over as Portsmouth Abbey has reopened it's doors for the 2015-16 school year which means it is pretty much fall now... In the spirit of fall I am going to procrastinate writing a back to school post on what myself and many now college bound adolescence are doing and instead give you one of those games you like so much. In honor of my mom sending down my CD collection today with some other stuff (love you mom) I am going to be making this list from my favorite current CD which is the Killers Direct Hits (it's their greatest hits album). If you haven't heard some of these songs... look them up, I guarantee they will rock your socks. As always these songs could be how I feel about someone, something I feel describes them of just some stupid connection I've made between them and the song... Also this time I will only accept complete lists for review... no more going through one by one.

1. Space Man
2. Smile Like You Mean It
3. She's Just Another Girl
4. All These Things That I've Done
5. Human
6. When You Were Young
7. Miss Atomic Bomb
8. Mr. Brightside
9. A Dustland Fairlytale

Rock On,

Question...

Is there such a thing as not asking for help because you think everyone else is dealing with their own stuff and you don't want to pile on too much more or bother them?

Asking for a friend.

It's a Brand New Day

     So it's 2:50am and here goes my second attempt at writing my first post in over a month, the first one was outstanding and I loved how it came out, but technology hates me so no, now I have to dedicate 45 more minutes of my beauty sleep to y'all so enjoy me spill my guts for just a bit longer on this day, whether you're reading this on July 31st 2015 or any day after.

     Before you start attacking me for not writing, behold! I have a mediocre excuse! Honestly I was a Prefect at the Portsmouth Abbey School Summer Program and chasing after 7th-11th graders gets tiring, plus the wifi in the dorms turns off at midnight cutting most of my writing sessions short. But all and all I left the summer program last week reaffirmed in my love of teaching, mentoring and supporting the next generation, also got a lot of one on one time with some of the teachers from other schools who help in the summer program. I hope to do it again next year and make even more memories with a new group of kids who impact me the same way this year's kids did.

     Besides that I also worked the Newport Folk Festival last weekend with got me within twenty feet of James Taylor which was ones of the coolest experiences of my life, he played his classics and I almost cried, it was beautiful. Starting in 4 hours I'll be headed back to Newport to work the Jazz festival for the next three days which I hope will be just as if not more rewarding.

     Before I started writing tonight I thought I had a couple really good ideas to write about: "What teaching means to me" or "how someone can change" but I decided on something totally different because of a TV show. Now I'm not sure how many people know this because I don't go around advertising it but I am a long time fan of the show Glee. I watched it for a few years and was pretty invested in it, but stopped following it after Corey's death and tribute episode. Really for me it wasn't directly connected to that event but that event coincided with a lot of important times in my senior year, bottom line is I'm behind. So last week when I realized the last season was on Netflix I decided to finish it. And honestly having just finished it tonight I must say I was a little disappointed with how they handled the remainder of season 5 shifting straight to New York and ignoring a lot of the new kids and how they then removed that part of the cast all together in the next season. I know the writers were really just grabbing at straws but I wanted to see a little more about new kids, I don't know. But I wasn't really the lack luster final twenty or so episodes that made me write tonight, it was the outstanding Finale. Maybe it was because they lowered my expectations or if they just did a good job, but the time skips and epilogue endings to all the characters were as close to what I could have wanted as possible and the closing scene was probably one of the most fitting ones I've ever seen and it delivered a message that really resonated with me.

      The message was that Glee at it's core was a group not about winning but about seeking the joy in the music. And it really made me think of why I have such an affinity for music. And it took me a little while to come up with an answer and I'm still not completely convinced of my own answer but I gave it a shot. Deep deep down in places I'm not crazy about talking about I'm a romantic and some may even say hopelessly so. And I think music speaks to that idea in everyone. Because although music is complex and layered it describes for us a world in which things are much more emotionally vibrant and powerful. You can hear and feel emotion so powerfully through music that it can contact your soul in ways other things can't dream of. I the history of all the shitty advise I've given people among them have been phrases such as "ignore it" "it'll pass" and my personal favorite "just stop doing it". Now these are really stupid pieces of advise from a guy who 90% of the time has no idea what he's talking about but the way I see it, I'm a pretty strong guy emotionally speaking so have course rough ways of handling problems. Most people need more help with them. What music does is it lends an invisible hand through your headphones to catch you when you fall, pick you up when your down and give you a pat on the back when your back on you feet. Music is specific enough so that everyone gets something different from every lyric, but universal enough that if you play a song millions of people around the world know it and can sing together, So yeah, music fucking wild stuff huh?

      Anyway it's getting really late now and I need some form of beauty rest. So whenever your enjoying this post, thanks for reading and have a good day. You didn't have to read this whole thing but you did and that kinda cool. A reminder that it's 3:26am and this post is less spellchecked than the first one, sorry. Thanks for sticking around so here's your reward, 2 recommendations and a mini game.

Bring it back to the Title

     Well folks, it's 11:11 as i begin to type (ha got 'em) and I figured I just go off what I feel like right now which for all intents and purposes is pretty good.

     Now I know you don't care but a majority contributing factor was the New York Mets winning tonight in 11 innings, it was a good time. I also had a couple cups of coffee at like 5pm so that's where the energy is coming from.

     Finally I'm on my 3rd listen through of Fall Out Boys' "From Under the Cork Tree" which a fantastic album. I've gotten a good listen to of some classics (Sugar We're Going Down, Dance Dance) some personal favorites (A little less Sixteen Candles, Sophomore Slump) and even getting a good listen to of some songs I've never really considered like "I've got a dark alley and an idea that says that you should just shut your mouth" and "Champagne for my real friends real pain for my sham friends". It's very interesting how listening to songs you KNOW, kinda know and are learning for the first time all in the matter of minutes can change your perspective.

      Really what I'm trying to get back to is the title of this blog: "the basics from a bassist". For all the bullshit and metaphors and cryptic posts I put up on this website I would like to believe their is some basic honesty and forwardness in my writing and my musical tastes, style and identity, I like to think of myself as a pretty happy and outgoing person, but I have my moments in which sometimes I just kinda shut down. Recently some people have caught me in these space outs and I feel like they don't believe me when I tell them I'm fine... The truth is I really am. I usually have just been caught in the moment. Usually when people say they get caught in the moment, they reference it later as just being consumed and enthralled by the moment but when I get caught in the moment it's the exact opposite. It's me sitting there, zoned out thinking of all the circumstances and random events that happened leading to the moment, analyzing everything happening in the moment and imagining results of the moment. I actually think it's interesting that people assume there's something wrong or bothering me, don't get me wrong I appreciate the concern, but lets keep it basic here... what do I have to be complaining about? My life is pretty great and I try not to rub it in but I also count my blessings most nights.

      As far as music is concerned in tonight's post, "I've Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth" has been speaking to me for about the last 25 minutes or so, so I've been listening. It's just droppin little hints here and there for new songs, new ideas, both rhythmically and lyrically and some good life tips, but tonight's post is trying to be light on metaphors so I'll leave that alone tonight. Really with Everything or Nothing moving back into writing mode I've been gearing up to try and bring something to the table and I think I've gathered some material and experience recently I can put to good use.

Wish us luck,
Just some bassist

Ok

Dear Fonts, 

You're a idiot. 

Well other Fonts that's not very nice but I see your point, dick move to go more than a month without writing even though you had nothing better to do. So here I am now as the chiding of some other people (you know who you are) finally met my utter boredom forcing me to type this post. 

So many of you adoring fans must be wondering "Fonts, what amazing crazy stuff have you been up to since April?" Well super excited fan, not much, a lot of stuff has happened to a lot of people around me but all and all I pretty much in the same spot I've been in or a year or so, which as far as I'm concerned is a good thing. 

In the current events column

-Gibb, T, Abar and many many others graduated from the Abbey so go forth and conquer class of 2015!

-Everything or Nothing played another show that for reasons way to complicated to go into I fronted and sang (to varying degrees of success). Next show on the 13th :)

-Tom, Furz and Maeve are all gearing up to graduate in the next week or so that will be exciting.

-I've big chilled with the homies several times and those have been good times. 

-Megan joined the group briefly at the end of the school year. Hopefully this is solid addition to next year's addition of the music group. 

-The spring play touched me on a deep level... the same kinda way your uncle would that would require years of therapy to get over. I firmly believe the abbey players made the best possible show of a poor script/ director.

-Got my wisdom teeth out (ouch)

On the subject of the title...Ok. 

I've this one idea in my head for about a week or so for when ever i decided to sit and write my next post. For the first time in a while I can look around at my life and every single thing seems to be okay. Now I know that's never true, but before you go raining all over my parade, this last month has gone about as smoothly as someone could have hoped. So here I am now reflecting thinking deep thought like I sometimes do wondering what I could have done to make more of these past weeks, and not much is coming to my mind, which I think is a good thing. I have a few lists that I think you guys know about, one of them is regrets and I try to keep it very short, in fact I have 4 regrets from all of High School, if that's not some kind of record I'll be shocked. But yeah right now everything seems to be just fine.

Keep it A-O-K,

PS. Good listening list for the night

Two Paragraphs and a List

So you know that feeling you get when you are exerting every ounce of energy and all your muscles tense up and you might even get blurry vision? No? Um... well I'm gonna tell you about it anyway. I like to keep a lot of stuff to myself, more than you'd expect at least and one way, in fact the chief way I blow off steam is singing and dancing in a mirror, it is literally the most calming thing ever. I could and probably have done it for hours. It's harder to do at school because I need to hide my absolutely bizarre mix of old swing and modern punk and metal and occasional folk tunes and pop favorites. And what I said earlier about calm, yeah it's pretty much he opposite, it's me jumping around mouthing the words, half wrong to dozens of songs and if anyone were to see me, I would probably be mortified, so I lock doors and windows and double check the blinds and even the vents, for what follows is not pretty. Anyone who has ever seen me try to dance has been treated to an unusual series of movements that are sight to believe so imagine that, except more with some singing thrown in for like a solid hour or two,fun stuff.

The reason I bring this weird hobby of mine up tonight, well first because I'm procrastinating all the work I have to do before finals next week and because I used the aforementioned technique to procrastinate earlier this evening. But second and more importantly, I've been doing a lot of self analyzing lately, I was spurred on by someone at work pointing out that I, much like her friend, said "what's-it-called" and "what's-his/her-face" very often in conversation more as a place holder than a genuine question or lack of memory. So tonight as I did my funny musical ritual in the mirror I could only help and think to myself what would it be like I had this much confidence in real life. Now I would like to think that at least 2/3 of you just rolled your eyes and said something along the lines of "this asshole with all his self confidence has the never to deny it"  to yourselves. And you wouldn't e wrong, technically. When I'm around most of the people who read this, I exude confidence, I don't know why... it kinda just happens, but at school, at work, and just meeting new people I have a tough time holding myself to the same standard as I do around the people I'm comfortable, I chalk that up to reason one of a million I've never had a girlfriend, but that's not the point. The point is that I want to change this. I want to dance in the street the same way I dance in my bed room (metaphorically speaking of course). On another note, some other stuff I want to do, lets say this summer.

Drive a long distance with some awesome people just because...
Enjoy several full days at the beach with equally awesome people
Enjoy several full days at the beach by myself
Work out
Read for pleasure
Read for academic pleasure
Play a lot of music
Lie less
Tell more people the truth
Learn to better appreciate my family
Write, anything really
Get a solid tan
Make $3,000
Improve my grilling skills
Have a BBQ
Get really really drunk with friends
Get really really drunk with friends and sit outside and ponder stuff
Ponder stuff with friends who are cool enough to deal with our drunkenness
Learn 6string guitar (kinda) or ukulele
Work out
Enjoy moments of inconceivable bliss
Cherish moments of uninterrupted solitude
Study moments of adversity
And Remember moments of triumph.

How to be an idiot (a comprehensive guide)

Well as I begin to type it's 3:37am and I can hear birds chirping outside between the breaks in my John Mayer playlist, so all logic says I should be asleep, but since when did I let logic dictate my actions?  Why am I writing so early in the morning? Well, the coffee at 10 o'clock didn't help, but really I've been up til around two or three fairly often recently. Why? I really couldn't tell you, been doing a lot of thinking... too many questions, not as many answers as I'd like, I think I've pieced together maybe one serviceable musical verse, written a lot of, um... I guess I would call them proverbs, just realizations and quips that pop into my head between the tossing and turn of attempting to fall asleep, if you ask nicely I might share them one of these days, but not this morning. I really don't know where I'm going with this post, like I said I've had way too many questions recently without answers and nobody likes a beginning of a story with out an end so I'm going to save you the absolute boredom and unfathomable abyss of my mind, for now.

 I will share with you a little moment today (yesterday) that really made me smile for a considerable amount of time. For the first time in a while on a walk around campus on a pretty dreary day I flashed back to a similar day in Rhode Island 5 or 6 years ago, I guess because it takes place in my old house. It was weird because it was the most arbitrary memory, just me, Drew, mom and dad in the kitchen and what I remember was my mom just staring out the window commenting on what a rotten day it was. Then for absolutely no reason my dad turned her around and kissed her for a pretty liberal amount of time especially when you consider me and Drew sitting there. As I remember it me and Drew were equally discussed by the uncalled for PDA and so the inevitable question arose "Dad why did you do that?" and he simply smiled at us and said "Because I love your mother".

 Now all of you are now thinking one of two things "awwww thats so cute" or "Fonts, the fuck man why do I care?" Both are valid points, but let me explain why that one, minute long memory put a smile on my face today. Most of you have met my dad, some know him better than others, so let me paint you a picture: my dad is my definition of a hardworking, passionate, committed human being. In everything he does, if he commits to it, he follows through no matter what, shirking responsibility to him is the worst thing someone can do. And for the most part he is pretty serious and intense all the time, he's not a huge fan of sarcasm and is a very straight shooter which my brothers and I have appreciated throughout his raising of us. I believe that the way he holds himself and acts is a enormous part of how I conduct myself: especially when I am upset or angry, I'm not one to let those emotions cloud the task at hand.

But the crux of the story is not about what my dad is usually, the crux of the story is that in rare, sporadic and unpredictable circumstances my dad acts like a complete dumb ass. There are only two possibilities when he does and they are usually related. Reason 1: he's kinda a light weight, all the power too him, he has probably tapered off with age but 3 or 4 brews and he's having a good time. Reason number two is my mom. They go through the day, do all they can for me and my brothers and except for gas money from me, expect nothing in return. It's quite incredible when you think about it, and you have to imagine the amount of love they have for their kids. But on a rare occasion like this memory my dad will act like a complete idiot all because he loves this woman he met at a college fair in Philadelphia 26 years ago just as much now as he did then. And that kinda blows my mind when I think about it for too long. So that's what I'm gonna try to focus on now... When ever I get down for what ever reason I'm just gonna run that scene through a couple times and have a good chuckle at the look on my dad's face. And I hope everyone can find a story like that, maybe recently, maybe 5 or 10 years old that you can draw on every once and a while and just laugh. Because you  have to think, teenagers have it hard, but parents of teenagers, oh god bless them. It's a struggle and when they go away on business for a few days or weeks, or when they get home late every night for a fortnight because of work, it takes a tole on them. And to see after 26 years, and whole lot of gray hair later they still wake up on Sundays just to enjoy the silence of a house that by noon will be exploding. That gives me a little hope that I'l be able to handle tomorrow and that someday, maybe a long long time from today, I'll be able to look at someone and with zero reservation act like a god damn fool, and enjoy every second of doing so.

So it's 4:07, I think that's enough for tonight (this morning) hope you enjoyed the read, the write was pretty fun. Be noted that I don't spell check too often, thank you for fighting through it. I am now going to hit the hay, got a decent sized day ahead of me.

As always,
Don;t be a stranger, I get bored here sometimes

Don't Blink

Potholes... They suck... a lot. Like winter is bad enough with all the snow and rain and cold and shit but come February and March when the snow finally melts away enough to see the dead grass underneath, you are left with these goddamn potholes all over the state, that no one seems to care about. I had a pretty cool conversation recently where I used these stupid annoyances as a sort of metaphor, it was pretty cool, it involved traffic and exits and mileage and pretty well thought out on my part, but that's not the reason behind me writing this post today. I happened twice and I think you might have missed it once and seen it once... but this is tough because if you blinked at that exact second you would have had no idea. In that split second I saw myself in the corner of the computer, I cracked, it was small, it was very brief, but it was there. The side of my left eye crinkled the slightest bit and my forehead scrunched slightly, and then it was gone. So if you blinked, thankfully you missed it. I'm not one for sharing but you're not one to be fooled so it would have caused an explanation and I'm not sure I had any answers for those questions. There are times when I feel like I blink and a month passes and I miss a whole lot, or I'll blink without even realizing it and something will be totally different, and sometimes, I don't care to know what I missed. But that could be the John Mayer talking, he has abandonment issues and a severe case of what I call "being a narcissistic asshole". So that might not be the best writing music right now but it will have to do. And for an asshole he makes some very solid points, "Who Says","Clarity" and "Half of My Heart"  have been repeated quite a few times today. Potholes suck, and you can't stop yourself from ever blinking so there will be days when you wake up and your staring one big pothole in the face and there's really only two things to do in that situation, sit there and stare at it, scared of what kind of damage it may or may not cause, or drive forward over it and see where that leaves you. The funny thing is I thought I drove over the pothole a while ago, but I blinked and there it was again, so I guess I'll just have to deal. And the thing that sucks about potholes the most is that they don't just trip you up. They are on the road and everyone else on that same road will run into the same pothole, their car could be better suited to drive over it than yours, or not... So that's my ten cents on Rhode Island's infrastructure problem.

See you around
Matthew

Funny Conversations

What up nerds, so to most of you who are enjoying Florida: Fuck You, it's cold up here, to the other people hanging around, hope you guys are hanging in there ha ha. Spring break has been pretty cool so far but it's gonna get a lot better this weekend, new Everything of Nothing is coming down the pipe, tell your friends. Now to the real meat of this story, So me and my pal Maeve were shooting the shit today when a funny topic came up: Alternate Realities. The gist of the conversation went like this: Whats would these friends be like in an alternate reality, like the exact opposite of themselves, this is what we came up with, enjoy.

This is from the perspective of an imaginary extra friend in our friend group.

Caellum Kerr: This 5'5'' bundle of joy is as muscular as they come. He is a tri-varsity athlete in Football (he plays Linebacker), Hockey, and Lacrosse, his athletics make up for his lack of depth in the class room and he's not a huge fan of sarcasm, it really bothers him. He also has an impressive mustache.

Mike Gibb: The play boy of the friend group, he has a different girl on his arm ever week. And don't bring your problems to him either, he's a terrible listener and probably doesn't care. His rhythm is awful and you can usually only catch him listening to country music, if anything.

Tom O'Rourke: This blond is as confident as they come, a genius headed to MIT next fall he really never doubts himself in anything. He's also never afraid to voice his opinions (even if on the inside he could give a damn about somethings). But I do feel bad for him on one front, the kid has been trying to learn to play guitar for 6 years and we are all nice about it, but he is really REALLY bad...

Claire Dorie: I'm not going to mince words, Claire is a slut, really it's bad. She rarely makes it to school on time and is definitely in the running with Gibb for least responsible friend. When ever she's not with one of her guy friends you can bet she's down at the bay with a joint. The makeup on that girl could cover the east coast of the united states. Strangely enough for a basic girl lie her, she can't stand Taylor Swift...

Maeve Hearten; Maeve is headed to the university of Florida next fall on a full ride soccer scholarship. As far back as anyone could remember Maeve was the "Sportiest" of the friend group, She would always be away on weekends playing in tournaments and everyday after school  at practice, the only way we really got to know her was because she and Tom have been in a long term committed relationship for over 3 years now.

Maya Wilson Estrella: This Puerto Rican- American mix has been towering over us since the day she stepped on campus, 6'1'' with no signs of slowing down. Maya is interesting that she's not really hugging person but still wants to be very close to people. She uses Spanish all the time to either confuse, surprise or annoy us and has a major presence on the Abbey Basketball team. She does have a bit of a mouth in Spanish and English.

Sawyer Dunn: Sawyer is your classic out going preppy girl. I don't think I know someone who owns more pastels. Between all the bright skirts and sweaters she wears I don't think she has ever repeated an outfit. Her long hair can be problematic sometimes but she loves it anyway. Her confidence is just bursting at the seems as she can be seen as both the sophomore class representative and front runner for her grade's head girl. Literally i think she might be friends with everyone and their parents.

Matthew Fonts: Kind of a quiet kid. Really keeps to himself. His parents worked in New York City and made a fortune before retiring to Newport, so he has money but does really show it. He's an average student, played one varsity sport pretty well and is currently enrolled in a no name school in the Midwest for college. We really don't know that much about him, he's kind of just there most of the time...

This is Really Just for My Amusement... :)

Quick (not really) update

So I am once again copying one of Claire's blog ideas, which she stole from Tumblr... It's what ever... ANY WAY! Enjoy my sarcastic, slightly witty answers to these very basic questions.

·                  Zero - Who was your last text from? 

·                  Maya

·                  One - What/who is your icon?

·                  My Album Cover

·                  Two- Your relationship status?

·                  Married to the Music! (jk I’m lonely)

·                  Three - Have you ever lost a close friend?

·                  Everything and everyone comes and goes for a reason, so yes and no

·                  Four - What is your current mood?

·                  A weird mix of dread, anticipation and hungover

·                  Five - What’s your brother(s)/sister(s)names?

·                  Andrew (drew) 15 and Luke (not short anything) 11

·                  Six - Where do you wish you were right now?

·                  The beach (in the middle of summer)

·                  Seven - Have a crazy side?

·                  The voices in my head tell me I’m perfectly fine

·                  Eight - Ever had a near death experience?

·                  I challenged Mr. Smith’s opinion once…

·                  Nine- Something you do a lot?

·                  Talk, definitely talk

·                  Ten - Angry at anyone?

·                  Nothing to serious

·                  Eleven - What’s stopping you from going for the person you like ?

·                  Hahahahaha long story

·                  Twelve - When was the last time you cried?

·                  Like a single tear or like the water works? Either way, not since 2014

·                  Fourteen - What do you think about when you are falling asleep?

·                  Fifteen- What were you doing yesterday at 10pm?

·                  Probably drinking with the boys…

·                  Sixteen - Do you prefer light or dark hair on the opposite sex ?

·                  If she likes music and has a vag that’s good enough for me, but blondes are cool too

·                  Seventeen - Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?

·                  My dad, talked sports on Frida afternoon, he was sick, good talk

·                  Nineteen - What are you doing right now?

·                  Besides this? Little bit of State Champs, little Homework..

·                  Twenty - Who do you trust 100% right now?

·                  Parents, 2 or three friends, everyone else gets the benefit of the doubt with 85-90%

·                  Twenty one - Where did you get the shirt you are wearing?
