Day 15- iTunes

I've opted to use iTunes instead.


1. "No Way Back" - Foo Fighters
2. "The Good Life" - Weezer
3. "Look At Me" - Sum 41
4. "Last Ride Together" - I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness
5. "Blessed to be A Witness" - Ben Harper
6. "Y.M.C.A" - Village People
7. "Macavity: The Mystery Cat" - Cats Soundtrack
8. "The Dark Knight" Riff Trax
9. "She Knows" - Gnarls Barkley
10. "Pompeii Am Götterdämmerung" - The Flaming Lips


This is a very interesting random sampling of my music. Much of it (Cats Soundtrack, I Love You, Ben harper) are things I've never listened to simply since they were random packs of music thrown onto my computer as part of communist music swaps and other such things.

I'm just pleased as a peach Weezer showed up to this party.

Day 14

I think this is the last family photo I have on record. This was at my senior graduation, so nearing 4 years ago.

Pictured left to right
Dad, my nephew Simon, Tessa, Mom, Cecelia, and myself.

Day 13 (belated)

Dear Caffeine,

You and I are generally friends. Or rather, I feel I'm quite in love with you, quite entranced by your engaging beauty and sharp, lovely jolting kisses.

Yet sometimes you are a bit too much. Sometimes you try to help me through my worries and my trials and tests and afterwards all you do is bring me down, give me headaches, and cause me more misery than the love and pleasure you give me.

I'm not breaking up. I would never consider such a thing.

I just think we need some distance, caffeine. Let's not over load each other.

I want this relationship to last the long haul, you know. And too much of you may be just well...too much.


Sincerely,

Max

Day 12- Discovering Blogspot

I used to have a live journal and had one for many years.

I think it was Mr. Chester's blog in yesteryears that inspired me to try a blogspot.

And that's really about it.

Day 11-Another photo with you and your friends

My wonderful eliza on the left and majestic molly on the right.

Day 9

Something I'm Proud Of in the Past Few Days...


Probably getting the part of Lewis in King John. I auditioned hard and brought my best game well..ever I think. Maybe not, I don't know. Point is, I really had wanted the parts of The Bastard and King John. I got neither. I did get this awesome part I can't wait to tear my teeth into. I'm proud I'm considered a top tier/top caliber performer and even though I don't fully believe it yet, I hope someday I do.

Day 8 (belated)

1. Get back to pre getting sick shape
-I lost some endurance/strength/mass when I got sick this month and haven't found the time to get my work outs back in rhythm. I need to with King John and fight work starting.

2. Stay on top of my homework
-I can't let it slide because of a show.

3. Be off book way before off book date for King John
-Quicker I'm off book, quicker I can play.

4. Have fun
-Self explanatory.

Day 7 (belated)

This is Alaina.

I've been in love (truly) twice and she was the first person I fell in love with. We never dated. I was the Ducky to her Molly Ringwald for 5 long years and being in that situation was pretty awful and pretty damaging to myself worth, unintended as it was. It's taken me a while to get some of that self respect back.

However, she is the reason I found my art. I auditioned for my first play because of her. She was the one who got me to hunt down the rabbit hole that is theatre. And for that, I'm so, so thankful.

Day 7

For teaching me that you can overcome anything, that attitude is half the battle, and telling me I'm a giant and meaning it.

Superhero

My first memory of a child was the Adam West Batman. It was playing at my first birthday party. For years I would go as batman for halloween, go as bruce wayne to day care and transform into batman at recess because i had no one to play with. Batman was an emblem of strength, of good, of overcoming obstacles.

As the years went on and I learned of the more nuanced performances and writings of batman I respected him because he is a mortal. I love superman but I love that Batman is the development of human will and skill to the deadliest edge in fiction. It appealed to my hard work sensibilities. Plus I can relate to feeling like something was my fault, even if it happened in my childhood and it wasn't actually my fault.

Plus it's the Goddamn Batman.

Day 5: Somewhere I've Been

Antwerp, Belgium.

Day 4 Habits

Edit: I was drunk when I wrote this.

Habit(s).

I bite my nails. I'd like to stop that.

When I drink a bit too much I'm very prone to smoking/eating shit food not good for me/being far too snuggly for my own good and I should probably cut back on that.

Day 3

I have many, many, many, many friends but it would be hard to put them in one picture. So, I thought the 5 Horseman might be a good photo. In no particular order: Aaron, Arthur, Gavin, Nate and I to conquer the world, one vlog at a time. I miss hanging out with all of us together.

Day 2

The name Mr. Maxwell


It just sounds nice.


"Travels with St. Christopher"

As a parting gift from my friend Tara, I received the saint pendant for St.Christopher, the patron saint of travel. That summer I realized how much I love traveling and writing about travel, and wanted to make a travel blog. Thus: travels with st.christopher.

Day 1

1. I was born on a perfect number alignment

2. I'm one of the best drivers I know.

3. I read my astrology every week. I'm a leo in saturn.

4. My alarm on my computer is usually set to Ke$ha's "Tik Tok" for the main line.

5. I live with one of my best friends. It's turned out pretty grand thus far.

6. My desk is littered with odd characters; journals I don't write in anymore, a plush luchador, a Dexter bobble head, Buddha statue, a Monskey, and a cactus. I wouldn't have it any other way.

7. I've found inspiration for poems often akin to be set on fire on the inside and if you cannot find a way to let it loose onto a page it will either consume you or wither and cause an empty space.

8. I'm working on my 5th back pocket journal (the first one was a paperblank, the rest are moleskines). I started doing them two years ago.

9. I like my music loud.

10. I really like to dance, I'm good at it, but I'm too self conscious in my hometown to dance infront of most people.

11. I'm a people pleaser. If I want to listen to Katy Perry but I'm in the car with one of my friends I won't play it because i know they probably won't enjoy it, even though I don't think they'd care if I played it.

12. I'm far more passionate than I let on to most people I think.

13. One of my most artistically satisfying moments involved dousing a marble floor in Snapple and screaming "no taxation without representation" while I'm on a Boat is playing loudly

14. I'm both left and right handed, though I'm not ambidexterous. I use the left hand to write, eat, and dexterous skills. My right hand is used for strength purposes. It came about because of baseball. I was taught to throw right.

15. I'm 80 percent straight, 20 percent gay. I don't have a sexual interest in men, but I see aesthetic beauty in them.

I'm doing it starting now...
