Welcome to College!

Well I started out writing this blog as a happy camper, but I just realized that, since classes are apparently not cancelled on Labor Day and I have a Monday evening class, I can't go to Vampire Weekend. So that sucks.

But anyway, I haven't written anything in a while, except for some song lyrics and stuff, so I figured I'd write something. I successfully moved into my dorm and I'm kind of getting used to not living in Westfield anymore, although I do really really miss some people from Westfield. I love you.

Today was pretty good, all in all. I scheduled work for the entire semester, and I'm pretty pleased with my schedule, especially since I have never have to work on Saturdays. That's pretty sweet. I have to work in the morning on two days, which kind of sucks, but then again, who eats breakfast in college? It should be not busy, aka good.

So yeah, that was cool. Also, I dumped an entire cup of Coke on my pants and shirt, so that sucked. I would have still been okay with that if it hadn't been for my voyage to Wendy's, when I inadvertently dipped my house key, room key, and flash drive in a container of ketchup. That sucked quite a bit, but I won't let it get to my head. Especially since I'm wearing a V-Neck right now. Mmmmmm yum yum

Also, our XBOX Live still doesn't work, and that really sucks. A lot. Hopefully it'll eventually start working or else I may throw myself out a window. I probably won't actually do that, since I have a pretty good life, but I'm merely trying to convey my emotions of distress, anguish, pain, and agony caused by the failure of XBOX Live. Is XBOX supposed to be completely capitalized? Xbox. XBOX. They both look stupid.

Classes start on Monday the 30th, and that kind of sucks. Oh well. I guess it is college.

Speaking of college, you're not cool because you drink. Stop pretending like you are. That's a general statement to all the douchebags in the world who think you're awesome because you party a lot.

Anyway, after that little rant, let's travel back to yesterday, when I saw Maurice Creek in real life. That was pretty sweet. I was at this bookstore and I was trying to move somewhere, and he was in my way, so I said "excuse me" and he said "Oh, sorry man." We're best friends now. You can take that to the bank!

Hopefully I'll keep posting on this when I have time, but don't expect me to post very regularly. I'll be pretty busy in the next however many weeks are in a semester, and I think it's a little more important to get moneys and saca buenas notas. Saca? Not sure if that's right or not. If it's not, I don't care.

And I realize that this isn't a literary masterpiece or anything, but like I said, I haven't written anything in a while, so BACK OFF!

Yahoo for school! Yahoo for me!

Also, best lines from Star Trek:

"Affirmative."

haha gets me every time

Simul-blog 2: Revenge of Simul-blog

Josh: So this is the most tired I've been in a very, very long time. I guess that's what I get for going to IHOP until ungodly hours in the morning and taking part in many hilarious voicemails with my partner in crime, but I wouldn't change a thing. It was a pretty awesome time, except that I have the opinion that McDonalds should be open 24 hours a day and not close at stupid 11:00. And don't tell me to go through the drive-thru, because those suck. I won't do it unless I'm dying of thirst (see today, which I will explain in more detail in a bit). Also, I will later discuss the second greatest thing to ever happen to me, which happened today. Basically, I saw my future wife in person, finally. More later. Stay tuned!

David: Hello people. I am also very overwhelmed with feelings of exhaustion, but I guess that's what happens when you've spent the last two days having awesome fun with your best friend and your future wife (Tegan, not Hayley) (eww). So yeah. If you haven't gotten the message yet, we saw Paramore this evening and it was amazing. We also saw New Found Glory which was about equally as amazing for me. Downside: We had to sit through some Indian kid's band (who donned matching t-shirts for the night, that was cute) in Kadawatha, and lesbian twins (not the cool kind) in Tegan and Sara. Anyway, I'm really tired, so here's Josh.

Josh: Holy Christ, I am tired. But yeah, like David said, we saw Paramore today with Ali and Sydney and Sarah. That was pretty fun, except for lame people that wouldn't let me go in front of them. That made me pretty upset, but I got over it once I saw Hayley Williams' beautiful face and heard her beautiful voice. It probably wasn't the best concert I've ever been to, because I don't think anything will ever beat Green Day in the United Center in Chicago last year, but it was still an excellent one. Very high energy and what-not, and they're very good performers. New Found Glory kinda surprised me, because I never thought they were that good, but they were really fun to listen to. The other two bands were decent and mediocre, at best. Also, David gave me a Paramore guitar pick, and Hayley Williams looked me directly in the eye and we stared into each other's eyes for at least 10 seconds straight. You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

David: Well, as Josh said earlier, Holy Christ, I am tired. I think we both just realized that it is almost 3 AM and that we should sleep soon maybe. Also, this is gonna be our last time together because THE J-Weezy is leaving for Gaytown on Sunday. Which is not something I'm looking forward to. ANYWAY, I love you people, Hayley, Tegan (eww), Brand New, @PatrickRSebanc, Farren Billand, Sky's Coffee, Roger, poop and pee, Bret Mattingly, not being in school, Lapel, Emily Pelsue, Chipper Jones (too soon), Bobby Cocks, Fang Island, @Jweezy206, @CWizzy77, @KNasty300, more poop and pee, Sydney, Ali, Sarah (ish), McDonald's, McDonald's orange milkshakes, black people, breaking Josh's rules, loving things, Shadow Wachtel, Jeanette Wachtel, Ben Wachtel, Josh's guitar (appropriately named Hayley), hamburgers, v-necks, dirty hipster faggots (I'm looking at you, Ward), and A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT DON'T DESERVE A SPOT ON THE LOVE LIST. SORRY CAPS WERE ACCIDENTAL.

Josh: I'm not really going to say anything cool here, except I'm going to do a love list of my own. Here is what I love: Hayley Williams, Paramore, Green Day, IU (kind of, because they're taking me away from Westfield), New Found Glory (not Chad Gilbert though, and I swear to God if he proposes to Hayley Williams, I will commit suicide), Butthole Surfers, Beck, Weezer, doing quiet duets of Beverly Hills with David (it was actually pretty good too), Nick Reith, Ali Ward, Sydney Moore, kind of Sarah (no last name...it's a mystery. And I only put kind of to go along with David's thing earlier), getting a Paramore guitar pick, looking directly into Hayley Williams' eyes as she does the same to me (I swear to you, this really happened), black v-necks, David Keller, and not being in school.

Also, since this will probably be the last post I ever ever make from Westfield forever, since I'm never ever coming back from Gaytown McGeeville, aka Bloomington (just kidding I am), I just want all of you to know that if I like you, I'll miss you. A lot. I think you know if I like you, so just know that I'll be thinking of you a lot and I hope you think of me too. Write on my facebook, tweet at me, text me, it'll all be cool. I'll respond to you because, chances are that I miss you and I'll really appreciate hearing from you. Don't forget me, and I won't forget you. I promise.

So on that incredibly serious, heartfelt moment (which it actually was), consider this post over. I hope I'll keep using this while I'm at college, but I'll probably be pretty busy doing work and not being a douchebag, aka not partying and not getting drunk with sluts. Hopefully David will continue posting though, because seriously? Lapel? Come on.

Love, J-Weezy and DK

Now playing -- our rendition of Beverly Hills. It really was good. Also, we're starting a band. Auditions won't happen, since we've already planned everything out. This is not a joke. We'll be at the Grammys tomorrow.

My life without school

Since many of you who read this blog most likely attend Westfield High School, I don't really need to point out that my old high school just started their year. But I will anyway. My old high school just started their year a couple days ago, and, since I graduated, I don't go. My days are usually filled with fun, excitement, thrills, and fun. the band. Here is a day in the life of Josh Wachtel, while his parents are at work.

Actually, today was a little different than most other days. On the first day of school for Westfield, I slept on a bunk bed beneath blog-mate and future rock band-mate David Keller until about one in the afternoon or something. That was pretty cool. Today, on the other hand, I woke up at 9:00 to go to the bank to yell at them about something. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. (I was supposed to get checks, but I never got them). So waking up at 9:00 sucks, but I guess that's better than waking up at 4:40 to go to morning practice, or even waking up at 6:30 to go to school.

So after the bank voyage, I went home and bathed, which was weird because who takes showers anymore? They're overrated. Just kidding. So anyway, after my showa, I watched The Price is Right. It's surprisingly very difficult to guess how much things cost, especially if you just assume that everything costs either $69 or $420. But still, I would have won the Showcase Showdown, so that was cool. Except that one of the prizes was a "steam shower" which sounds incredibly ineffective.

So The Price is Right ended, and I listened to the Alternative Music Choice station for an hour. Highlight -- Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake. Then, Loaded with Sum 41 came on Fuse, so I watched that. I like Sum 41, especially this song.

After that ended, I really don't remember what happened until 3:15, when my brother left to go to practice (I didn't go, citing a foot injury that all my twitter followers heard about). When he left, I played Green Day: Rock Band for like 4 hours. It was pretty fun. I rule at singing. But I was doing a challenge, which is playing the entire American Idiot album straight through. I was playing on Expert guitar, and I was just about to beat it, when my stupid XBOX became unplugged, which destroyed everything.

After a thirty minute crying session, I continued playing and perfected a bunch of songs on Expert vocals. I'm so good. I could probably win American Idol if I wanted to, except that I could never be as good as Taylor Hicks. hahaha

So that ended, then I ate, then I ran four miles. My running was filled with pain, agony, and suffering. I almost crapped myself like four times, and it was miserable. Also, to that little girl on a bicycle, I'm sorry for scaring you. A tall, lanky, shirtless man running after you is scary, so I understand why you frantically pedaled away from me. I would have done the same. No hard feelings.

After my run, I sat down and decided to blog. After I finished blogging, I don't know what I did, since I can't see the future. Sorry!

So that was my day today. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it, or something.

Oh, something I forgot. Everything I did today (minus the bank trip) I did while not wearing any pants. It was glorious. I don't think I'm ever going to wear pants again. I'm a fan of "Not Wearing Pants" on facebook, and with good reason.

Shout-outs to Ali Ward, Sam Velazquez, and Nick Moore for liking my status about it. Nick, I'd give your entire facebook name, but it reminds me too much of Sam Armstrong, and that's gross, so I'm not going to do that.

OH! The most important news of the day. The Diamondbacks hit back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs today. How cool. Also, Rocky Balboa is a movie that I enjoy watching.

The End!

Simul-blog!

Josh: So tonight, the Indy Metro Boys are stepping into new territories. KNasty and JWeezy are chillaxing, bro! tonight, and the ever brilliant David Keller came up with the idea of a simul-blog, aka we just pass the computer back and forth and blog together. Now, I don't know if this means that we are going to talk about the same topic for the whole time or what, so I'll just pass the computer along and see where this takes us. Every time there's a new paragraph, that means that there's a new author of said paragraph. Here we go!

David: Well, J-Weezy pretty much explained the point of this post, so we'll see how this goes. The one thing on my mind right now (other than Craig Ferguson, that is) is that an overwhelming majority of our friends start school tomorrow, and we don't, so we think that's awesome. My personal goal is to be asleep until all my friends get out of school, which means I'm planning on being asleep until at least 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Anyway, here's Josh because I'm gonna go get lemonade.

Josh: David getting lemonade actually means that he's peeing in a cup and then drinking it. So anyway, Like David said, we're watching Craig Ferguson right now. I used to hate @CraigyFerg (that's his twitter name) but then I actually watched his show, and discovered that he is absolutely hilarious. I did the same thing with Daniel Tosh, aka thought he was stupid but then found out that he was really funny. And if David told any of you to watch Craig Ferguson, it's because I told him to watch it/made him watch an episode at my house. You can thank me later. Somebody named Brittany just sent David a facebook message, so I'm gonna give him the computadora back so he can respond.

David: I'm also making popcorn right now, so I'm gonna be eating that as I blog. Also, whoever this girl is on Craig's show (she was in The Other Guys), she is really really attractive. Her name's Lindsay Sloan or something like that I guess, so Google her. Make sure SafeSearch is on though. ;) Also, this is probably my last paragraph, so I've got a couple shout-outs. Pond and Ariana mostly. They rock. Farren Billand is pretty cool too I guess. And last but not least, the senior boys for making (what sounds like) the funniest video ever. I love you people.

Josh: My eyes hurt. My face hurts. Everything hurts, and yet I do not want to sleep. Also quote from David Keller, while watching Vampire Weekend: "How is this even a song?" What a great fan. So I just got on twitter, and "Taylor Hotner" is trending. At least it's not "Justin Bieber" or "Bustin Jieber" but still. Really, people? I'd also like to give a shout-out to Kathy, for making wonderful cookies that I ate. They were really good. Also, I'd like to give a reverse shout-out to Renee Heine, because you're annoying. Hush. Craig Ferguson is funny, so watch him. I hope that we do some more Simul-blog!s in the future, because this was a good time. Also, Charlie Holcomb, if you're reading this, have David and me back on the show sometime because that was a lot of fun. P.S. I know that this was a lot of rambling, but if you don't like it, then shut up. Sorry, I'm cranky. I wish I didn't have to go to school tomorrow :( Haha oh wait. I don't. COLLEGE

Dreaming, I was only dreaming...

I just got home from McCormick's Creek State Park a couple hours ago, and I'm so dedicated to this blog that I've decided to immediately update this wonderful, beautiful, sensual web site. This post will make you laugh, cry, think, and feel things you've never felt before. So, read on.

I went to WHS XC camp for the fifth year in a row for some reason for all of this week. I say 'for some reason' because this prevented me from doing really cool things, like feeling air conditioning and being able to take a dump without being ravaged by spiders. It'd be cool if latrines were ever clean, but I guess that's too much to ask. DNR = lame.

It was a blast though. I love the guys on that team (in a completely heterosexual way...except for Kyle DuVall and Alex Schulke) and we had a really grand time. Whether we were defending our honor in Ultimate Frisbee against Bloomington South (where I was the MVP...even though nobody said it, we all know it was true) or picking up hot chicks at the pool ("GUYS! I'm trying to flirt!" --Jake Flagg), we had a great time all around.

However, it was 100 degrees all the time, including a heat index of 115 degrees on Wednesday or something. That was super lame. And it was hard to sleep, what with the sweat pouring down my body. Fortunately, I was glistening for a lot of the camp, so that was cool.

I smelled terrible the whole week, I worked on my tan a lot (not really), and I perfected the simultaneous pencil dive at the pool. It led to me bedding many chicks, but not really.

So now I'm home, with the only vacation I've had this entire vacation being over. Later, there's the high school talent show, where I will be judging and not have a good time as I sit through a couple hours of a bunch of unfunny videos.

Oh, I almost forgot. When we got back to the high school, after I woke up on a bus while listening to 'I Woke Up in a Car' (which is an awesome song, by the way) we all learned that Adam Prokai's car was parked on top of his keys. That type of thing would only happen to Prokai. Mostly because he's an idiot, but I still love that kid in a totally non-sexual way.

This has been fun. However, all good things must come to an end. I hope this entry did not disappoint you, but now I must depart. Macaroni and Cheese is calling my name. I love all of you, especially a few people that I'm not going to mention by name. Use your imagination.

I'm Having Trouble Tryin' to Sleep

So I've got Green Day on shuffle right now, it's late at night, and Brain Stew just came on and made me awake, so it's time for me to post. If I recall correctly, I haven't posted since we were on-air with our good friend Charles on After Midnight on 98.7 WQME in Anderson. If I have posted about that, forgive me, but I'm too lazy to look. Anyway, that was a blast and turned an awesome day into an even better night. Josh and I both loved it and it was the most fun we've had in a very long time. We want to thank Charlie a whole bunch for letting us on. It was a blast.

In other news, I've become a big fan of posting video messages on Facebook walls (I swear I'm not trying to be KG). It's just a lot of fun. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but I do. I've also become a big fan of MLB Gameday, because it saves my life sometime when the Braves aren't on TV, which is always.

Speaking of the Braves, they are still awesome. Not as awesome recently (because letting a 7-game lead be cut to a 2-game lead kind of pisses some fans off), but still awesome nonetheless. Unfortunately, Kris Medlen's arm died last night (which is something I'm not very upset about because...) so Mike Minor (ex-Commodore) wil be brought up from the AAA Gwinett Braves. So that'll be fun.

Also, girls and guys, don't drink. You look stupid and trashy when you do. Just sayin'.

I ran across this blog a couple days ago and it's been dominating my life lately. Czech it out. It's called Blame it on the Voices. Although I know absolutely nothing about it, it's still awesome and hilarious and will make you laugh, I guarantee it.

Also something I've become a fan of is Netflix. Nowhere else can I watch an entire season of The Office, an entire season of Weeds, and an entire season of Entourage, four full seasons of Say Yes to the Dress (There you go, Kathy), as well as The Human Centipede in the same day, for less than 30 cents. It's pretty awesome and totally worth it, so I suggest that you invest.

Anyway, I'm not sure if Joshua covered this or not (too lazy to look, again), but he's been away at gayboy camp and I think he actually gets back Saturday. But I'm not sure and totally that's a shitty thing for a best friend to not know, but I don't know. But I do miss him a lot so however gay that sounds, it's true.

So, not to make this some super un-interesting post (which they all are, I guess), but I had a very very good day today, thanks to my good friends Ali Ward and Sydney Moore. It's not like much happened, but it was cool I guess. Let me tell you about it.

(I just realized [have realized a whole lot of times, actually] that I never write about anything useful or interesting, and for that I apologize. Thanks for reading, anyway)

It all started off around 2 pm, when they came and picked me up in Ali's sweet ride. It was cool I guess. We then went to the bank and stuff and were trying to this of cool stuff to do. We all arrived at the conclusion that we were hungry, so we went to Bella's Pizzeria  Pizzaria. We went to Bella's. After about 15 minutes of Ali and I waiting for our food while we watched Sydney devour a slice and four breadsticks like an italian Kobayashi, I finally got to sink my teeth into my two slices of deep-dish pepperoni(not really deep-dish. I'll explain in a second). Well, almost.

As I got up to go get a butter knife to cut my pizza, I bumped into my large fruit punch and sent it tumbling to the ground, creating a 15-way river in the cracks between the floor tiles that was as awesome as it sounds. The only not-awesome thing was having my foot stuck to my flip-flop by the fruity, red heaven-juice. That was driving me to the brink of insanity. But I stood strong.

After I finished my not-so-deep-dish pepperoni (oh yeah, I said I'd explain that).

In the world, on Wikipedia, but mostly in Chicago (I'm eyeballing, I've never been there), deep-dish pizza has a buttery crust up to three inches tall at the edge, slightly higher than the large amounts of cheese and chunky tomato sauce, acting as a large bowl. At Bellas, a deep-dish pizza has a dry, slightly burnt crust only an inch and a half tall (trust me, I measured), acting as a bed for the tablespoon of tomato sauce, paper-thin layer of cheese, and three pepperoni per slice. For the average deep-dish fan, Bella's deep-dish pepperoni is kind of a boner killer, if you know what I mean. Not to trash them or anything, because this is the first less-than-satisfactory experience I've had there, but it was just bad.

Also, whatever Ali got looked like some old mad had injected his seed onto a pile of rotten spinach (sorry, Al), and wrapped it in bread, so don't get that either.

After that, we went to Goodwill and that was cool and all. I bought a book called I'm a Stranger Here Myself by Bill Bryson. That seems exciting, so I'll post something about that whenever I finish it, which should be fairly soon.

So anyway, after that, we came back to my house, watched Dear Jack, played some indoor soccer, watched The Crack Fox (if there's no other link you click on today, you MUST click on this one. Please. You will not regret it), and went on an adventure around Lapel, so that was fun I guess. Also, Ali threw up in my kitchen like 17 times so that was also awesome. Ask her about her tap-dancing, too. And ask me for my 'Butter with Macaroni on the side' recipe as well.

That's about all, but it was a pretty sweet day, in my opinion. Definitely better than the past couple ones have been.

Anyway, it's late, and I've got a gallon of Arizona tea and The Dust of Retreat calling my name, as well as the top bunk. Stay happy, people.

One more thing: Props to Connor Martin for the text he sent me. I can't forward what he said to you guys for some personal reasons, but hopefull I'll have permission to release it shortly. That kid's a champ. Be his friend.
