well i'm sitting here in the choir room with jono glawe to my right and we're both dicking around on livejournal, so i decided to make an entry. i guess right now i'm really tired but extremely excited for the concert on Saturday. BTW: Saturday, September 24th. 7:30 pm. Dan Froehlich's house. Be there for Pacific's CD Release party. The Bird Songs & Dirges EP can be listened to at http://www.purevolume.com/pacificwi Check it out. So i really think i'll post on this, no lies, it's a nice place to vent. and if i figure out how to use that damn friends thing i'll use that. |

"sleepless earth"
imagine if humans did not need sleep. picture how different
our lives would be. our work day hours would no doubt be
lengthened bringing the economy to a whole new place. people
would be able to do activites they never would be able to
even dream about doing normally. but to dream, what would
happen to dreaming? since our lives would be a never ending
ride, would we be stuck in our earthly realities forever?
would there be rest so everyone could dive into there own
primal emotions and personal imagination? would there be a
void in our souls where each person would lack the ability
to imagine something greater than what they had or be
deprived of the refreshing feeling to look forward to starting
another day that they could only wish would be better than
yesterday? would our yesterdays and tomorrows be lost
forever in a world where our aspirations die before they
are born because we live on a dreamless, sleepless earth?

so it's been definately 6 months since the last time i updated this thing. what a wild 6 months it's been. i'm not gonna even start on it cuz i can't remember a damn thing. good or bad i'm not sure. recently however, i went to iowa for a leadership camp for 10 days through my church. talk about the most intense spiritual 10 days of my life. i also met gretchen. gretchen anderson. (she totally looks like helen hunt). what a person. she makes it so easy for me to not have to put on my awkwardly funny david mask and become more serious and less ADD than i normally am. anyways. andrew ferguson also just shot down the most profound thing i have EVER said: and i quote: it's amazing: so profound: "but you have to make your actions reflect your words, because they speak much louder than the latter." if you understand what that means, post a comment. all you have to say is "yeah dave, right on" and there will be this immediate understanding you and i. peace. |

well it's been a while since i've looked at this thing. thanks to the 3 people who commented on the lyrics. the song turned out better than i expected. well, recently, it's been recording with the band. lemme tell ya, we have dug in and are putting out some awesome stuff. we're really getting a big chunk done. little by little, it's getting closer to when it comes out. we tried out for battle of the bands on thursday, and we made it. we did pretty good, can't complain. onslaught made it too. props to tom jenke and tony mastrogiovani for being two kickass guys. there will definately be more variety at this year's battle than last year's. this year there's ska rock (Skanonymous), jazz(Jazz Express), metal(Onslaught), rock(Pacific (that's us)), Jam band (Dishum), and heavy rock (the astounding Jason.......). it'll be sweetness. alright my hands are getting cold and i'm bored. Peace.

alright, it's been a while but, i finished these and it's coming together the way i hoped it would. you know who you are..............
"lonely nights"
lonely nights
on the ride home
we pass the time
don't want to be alone tonight
lights flicker by
like birds in the sky
and we carry on
on these lonely nights
golden hair
i see through you
don't pretend
you're stronger than you are
let me carry
your heavy burden
and let you breathe
deeper than before
chorus:
beneath that smile there is a girl
she had dreams before she met the world
now she cries and doesn't care
all she ever wanted was never really there
silent whisper
in your ear
of everything
you need to hear
morning breaks
and tries to take
a kind of reason
you never understood
chorus
between unwritten letters
and things left unsaid
i finally realized
things would never change
and so i stare out
into a dark light
and we keep driving
on these lonely nights |

well, what's it like to be 16 u ask? well lemme tell u, there's really no difference between being 15 and 16 except the difference between being 15 and 16. i got a card that said that since i've been alive for 16 years, i have been alive for 5800+ days. kinda gives u that whoa! affect. anyways, the birthday was good. hauled ass over to musical practice and did shit until 2. then with jon and wrote at his house and then at guitar center. i can not belive how much i love gibson acoustic guitars. it so rich and has such big volume, lots of punch. anyways, jon came over today actually, at like 9, and we wrote again until 10. what a day it has been. earlier today i drove to madison with the rentals to watch and listen to the state honors convention. my little sister, grace, was in the orchestra, and i have to say it way out did the choir and the band, bar none. way to go kid. driving on the freeway can be quite boring, but it's a crap-more fun when u've got ur dad barking in ur ear telling u what to do while ur driving and lecturing about every fucking situation. i was ready spin the car off the road and launch it into a lake. have a good sunday, and a pleasent monday.

This song is titled "Angel", although i'm guessing it might be changed, but hopefully not. I wrote these in 5 minutes before musical rehersal on monday. It's dedicated to Lauren Lukacek because she helped Jon and I get Jon's car started when it wouldn't start to say the least. So here goes...
"If the sun would ever go away
There's someone you should ask to stay
And if she would sit for a while on a cloud
We might hear a beautiful sound
To come from her voice traveling to our ears
And she would bathe in a brilliant light
Knowing she'd saved us from a lonely night
Alone and away from the world we know
When life is as beautiful as a brand new snow
That's where you'll find her one of these days
Without a care to do her harm
And she'll caress your soul with witty charm
Making you weak in the knees like new dreams
To bring you closer to that gift of heaven
Where you will meet an angel with wings
And if you dare, ask what tomorrow brings."

monday, monday, monday. can't really say i enjoy most monday's, but today was definately an exception. except for the fact that i had to wake up at the ass crack of dawn today to go to jazz 2, which isn't a very good reason to wake up, but connor and i just love it. (sarcasm). sooooooooo gay. now, mr.gilette is one cool dude, and i respect the man. but somethings about mr.j make me think, in the words of dan froehlich, that mr.j is kind of a tool. but anyways, slopped my way through 1-3 hour, then got out of school to go to a dentist appointment. i must say my mom is one cool person. referring back to a sunday school discussion, she allows me to talk to her on the same playing field so that we can understand each other. for one, we talked about jessica simpson's total screw up, which was hilarious, and she said that when i win my first grammy she'll be in the front row. i mean, come on, why would u not want a parent that would support u like that. i was feeling mighty good. then i got to the dentist's and discovered i had 2 cavaties, o well, at least my teeth aren't falling out right? then back to school to finish the day. then went to dan's with dan and jon and got some drums recorded. then hauled it back to school with jon for musical rehersal for 4 hours. fun times. i didn't drop gina this time while dipping, go me. nailed my lines, i felt proud tonight. did i mention i'm almost done with some lyrics? well, i am, and there's the beginnings of a song. u all just might witness the birth of a song. g'night.

today was a good day. got to wake up and go to church. some really awesome discussion in high school sunday school about different issues about isolation and power. it's really interesting because there's about 3 or 4 adults that always come in and listen and participate in discussion and they're always able to give a more mature perspective on certain things. i couldn't blame them for not wanting to be a part of these talks. so anyways, after that went to church with bethany and krissy. it was good to talk with the Big Guy upstairs. then had brunch with the family. pancakes with aunt j syrup. greatest stuff ever! then hiked it over to dan's and we got some things accomplished for the album. then i went straight from there to youth group where i got to hang with (again, but i can't enough of them) krissy, bethany, paul, carly, and ben "the man" syse at christ the king out by captiol and pilgrim. good times! so now i'm home and watching the game. as of rightn ow the sox are beating the living shit outta the cardinals. i predict the sox win, right here on this live journal do i predict this. years from now your children will look back upon this live journal be awed by the knowledge of me. MUHAHAHA! g'night and have a happy monday!

well today was quite a nice day. woke up at 10:30 with just enough time to eat breakfast and get comfy to watch the Badger game. we rocked NW. then i got to go over to dan's to get some stuff and suprise him, and i must say i'm glad i caught him while he wasn't busy, if u know what i mean, cause if i were him all home alone, i know what i'd be doing. but anyways, went to church and played bass for the children's choir. must have been the suckiest piece of choral music i've ever heard, but then again that's what they sing. then went to the soccer game and pretended that i knew stuff about soccer. it was so cold that we went to jon's car at halftime and turned the heat up so that we could warm up before finishing off the game. and dan scored a goal. unfortunately, the other team had to black guys that were incredible. one was skinny and thin and fast as a cheeate, and the other guy was 6'5'' and one hell of a beast. needless to say it didn't turn out. o well, cheers to the varsity soccer guys this year. then we went to taco bell (at least connor, jon, and kevin did, i went to oscar's!) and we ate some goooood food. alright, tomoro is church! g'night.

well friday everyone, i can honestly say it was the longest day of the week. 7th hour i was dying to get of there. got home and hung around. watched i love the 90's on VH1: 1995. quite a year with such things as those old mentos commercials and the macarena. such classics, i'm proud to have been alive in the 90's even if i was barely aware of anything other than eating, singing, and school. so we had band practice at six, and man o man was it a good 'un. we jammed to a little riff and it was so awesome i was on cloud nine. and we finally played "lucy", the song that dan wrote, and holy shit is it awesome. i love it. props and snaps to dan for one hell of a song. and then all four of us went to mcdonalds (illegally, shhhh) and got some food. i kept pounding the table every time i laughed and they all got mad that i was shifting their food. and then i had to be home by 10 because my rents are THE COOOOOOOOOLEST. so jon decided to drive past my driveway about 4 times before finally pulling in. and when he did, he put his blinker on to let everyone know that we were turning into my driveway. phew, such a dangerous situation. have a good weekend.

alright guys, here goes.......ask your friends to come bye and make a comment
"lonely nights"
lonely nights
on the ride home
we pass the time
don't want to be alone tonight
lights flicker by
like birds in the sky
and we carry on
on these lonely nights
golden hair,
i see through you
don't pretend
you're stronger than you are
let me carry
your heavy burden
and let you breathe
deeper than before
beneath that smile
there is a girl
she had dreams
before she met the world
just keep driving
and don't look back
let's go before we're gone
on these lonely nights
(the last verse might still be worked out and i probably will write another verse) |

man o man, what a day, today was quite a day. the school day was alright, short, thank god, and even shorter because of the extended homeroom. but then, musical practice with reggie. holy cow, all apologies to gina derose for not slapping me in the face because i can't do everything as fast as everyone else sometimes. for those who saw it happen, hears another chance to laugh. so we were working on one of our "everyone" numbers, in specifics the dance break. so gina and i are doing our spiel and we have to do this dip thing in between waltzing and stuff. so reggie, who just had to pick me and gina, tells us to do it. now my interpretation of the dip was to be sexual, so i was suppose to support gina. for those of you who have seen dirty dancing havana nights when they do the dip, that's what i had in mind when we first dipped. boy was i completely wrong. gina went down and i grabbed her leg and not her back for someone unknown reason, and i immediately know that it was gonna turn out bad. so she goes down and i try to catch her but she goes down and i went deep red, like i always do. ben glawe says "you look good in red, dave". so that was play practice, and then reggie got all pissed off at us for some reason. and then i got to lift lauren "the sun" lucacek on my shoulders for the end of the song. nothing against lauren, but i had to hold her up for 2 minutes and it was soooooooooo painful. well, i'm done giving my piano lesson to my one student nate, but i made 10 big ones, woohoo, gas money. i'll be posting lyrics tonight, so stick around.

well i'm tired as hell right now, but i figure why not do a little "ventage" on the ol' live journal (that's about 2 days old.) well the concert at brook el. was a complete success. russo, glawe, and i totally rocked the gymnasium with piano man. the "triple threat" as we are self-called. the pre-concert and concert stuff was pretty awesome. anyways, i got up at 6 o'clock this morning for jazz band right? and connor picks me up so we can go and be jazzy for an hour before school. when i got to school at 7 connor and i find out that "just kidding guys, no rehersal". i guess we weren't important enough to get a phone call. when i was in Jazz 2 last year, this exact same thing happened to me 5 times, no less. i was so hacked off i wanted to put a whole in the snare drum. man, well thank God for the Bucks, cuz hopefully Andy or Dave will give me a ring next time Jacobson decides to be REALLY cool and not call everyone. so thought i'd let you all know there will be a posting tomoro with lyrics. so tell ur friends and have them comment. i'll only say this, i won't tell you the inspiration for these lyrics, just cause it's private, but most times i will, if it's not personal that is. see you cats tomoro.

well, i guess i kinda always wanted one of these things, but who knows, maybe i'll never use it or even eventually forget about it all together. i'm dave, for those of you who don't know. i'm in a band, pacific, we just got our new name, finally, and i will never tell another soul what our band name was before this. anyways, the musical is going. i mean seriously what's the need to have a rehersal that runs from 4:30 to 7, it's insane. But i'm recovering from pneumonia, if that's how u spell it correctly, and man does it suck to be sick for that long. 3 1/2 weeks of being sick is the worst thing. I'd rather eat dog shit. finally, here's the spiel, i'm thinking about posting lyrics on this LJ for input. the great thing that i love about this whole journal is that i want people to be as honest as possible, even if u hate them, tell me, cause i'll take that into consideration. plus, if u help me get an idea, i'll name u as a co-author of the lyrics, maybe. alright, nobody should think this is gay, cause it is what i do, i write songs. i'll try and update this everyday.
