The Chronicles of Marky March (and the funky bunch)

What a fucking week. I don't think I've ever been as intoxicated as I was on Thursday...ever...including the night after exams in April last year when I slept with the random Sin City girl, the night where Gregete drove to Julias wasted and I tried to make out with her and Roxy and also poured a bottle of water on roxys head, and who could forget the Six Foot Bay staff party in August when I rolled around on the dining room floor. I honestly dont remember much about Thursday night...just that me, Lukey, Ashley and Brandini got so sloshed that it was rediculous. Thats what summer is all about though. Pretty sure me and Ashley made out, that was definatly randomness. I imagine I puked a total of 25 times between the Trasheteria and Barb's abandoned house. It was a bad scene I gotta say. I woke up in a hallway with my head hanging over the stairs. I'm your new hero...just admit it. Needless to say, I havent lost control like that in a long time and I am sort of disapointed in myself for being such an amateur in the drinking scene. Bottom line is that 9 dollar pitchers are always going to be a bad call when me and Luke are in the area.

What else, Vertebrate Zoology is finally done and that is sick! I am also contemplating my romantic life. Being single is fuckin sweet I gotta say. Theres no rules and I really enjoy being able to talk to whoever, hang out with whoever, kiss whoever etc. Its a good life but does anyone else ever get tired of it? I do sometimes. Sometimes I just wish I could settle down with a nice slim brunette with glasses who plays piano and sings like an angel. Wow I just sounded like Andrew Stricko there...I think I need my own seven lettered love. My own "Yassy" if you will. But then I think to myself, do I need to be tied down to a girl in the middle of the summer when the weather is hot and the bathing suits are out? So I decide that I'm definatly not looking for a relationship, but if one falls into my lap I'm not going to turn it down either. Its what I do folks.

Oh I think my band is getting back together...time to reclaim top fame in Peterborough haha. You better be excited. Oh and also you better comment my blog/journal because it is beyond sweet.

Much love

Well its been a while since I updated the chronicles of Marky March so I figured I would take this free time to do so. I finished off the school year with an almost 80 average (79. something) and I am loving that. I never really get how I manage to pull off such sweet marks because I work a lot, get drunk and generally dont really do a lot. I am sad that Whytey has gone home for the summer...me and Lukey miss him and our drinking antics. Me and Rob fuckin Holbrook have been getting shitfaced a lot lately...including random 1am trips to Scarborough to make out with myspace girls. Good times I tell you...the life of a rockstar.

So this evening me and the one and only Jenny Jordan hit the SFB for a round of golf. I played pretty terrible...and shes never golfed before so you know what happens there. Needless to say our 9 holes took us like 3 hours. She went home then we started talking on msn and decided to go out for dinner. Random. I ate spaghetti though and it was good.

I am taking up the drums. It is official. I've always wanted to play them and now is my chance. I am going to buy a sweet orange drumset from buds within the next couple of weeks. Then I am going to rock out at my hizzle 24/7. I really love music and instruments. I have a ridiculous amount of guitar shit for being bandless. I wont be bandless for long though. Rob and I are starting a sweet band and we are gonna rock out hardcore.

Well theres my life update. I love when anyone leaves a comment so please do.

Well this is it...I'm completed second year University and am about to enjoy my one day break before I start Vertebrate Zoolgy on Tuesday :(. I guess I am excited about the course because its supposed to be really interesting and I love that sort of thing. I will tell you what I dont love is Chemistry. Organic and Physical Chemistry Exams 24 hours appart are not a good call...bottom line. I fucked up Organic fairly bad I was pretty disapointed in myself. But most other people fucked it up too so I dont really feel that bad. Just sorta disapointed because I was really hoping to pull up my mark in that class rather than bring it down. Same with Phys chem...although I do feel that I did better on that exam then the rest of the class :). In contrast, I killed all my Bio exams so I am rather impressed with those. HOpefully they will keep my good average afloat nicely.

In other news I met a super cool girl. Well I guess I didnt meet her recently but we have been hanging out and its been pretty cool for sure. We will have to seee where that goes I guess :).

I guess its time to clean my room and go do some work on my house outside. Peaceout

Current Music: Shooting Stars - Cauterize

Wow. What a fucking day I had yesterday! Started off going to Red Lobster for some lunch with Danny...then we went to see Into The Woods. I'm very glad that I got to watch it instead of being in it, because its such a good play...I dont even like theatre usually so it must be real good! Allie was so damn awesome at her part! I am so impressed with her talents. She made a mistake and sorta threw a branch into the audience...but that was super funny! I imagine she felt pretty bad though.

After that...I went to Strickos and talked to his dad about shit for like an hour. Then I went to Slitchbags and we chilled for a bit with his girlfriend, wayne and terry. After Terry left to go see into the woods with jenn, I hit up Wendys and proceeded over to Adams to start getting wasted. Luke and Mike showed up shortly after and we got trashed and watched UFC 57. Good times.

We hit up the junction about 10:30 or so. Kudos to that place for sure as there is so many fucking hot girls there. We were so impressed with the ratios too. Kicked thenight off with a liquid coccaine shooter as per the usual routine and started making the rounds talking to people we knew. Whytey and me got so bombed and it was fuckin sweet. We all got a lot of grinds in last night so that was definatly cool.

Today I am just gonna clean up my room and maybe do some homework. I have band practice at 6:00 tonight so that will be fucking sick.

Love Mark

Current Music: Protest the Hero - The Divine Suicide of K.

Oh my life. Thats all I have to say for now. My band practice yet again is not happening after I went home specifically just to get my amp (which weighs 140 lbs I might add and is mighty awkward). Super lame.

I had a rockin good time this weekend. Luke, Adam and I among some other people hit up the Vibe and it was actually a pretty good time. This hot girl Sarah thats in a lot of my classes is a shooter girl at the Vibe so that was cool to see her aswell. Luke was mangled as usual.

I started writing and now I dont feel like it so bye.

Wow so I feel like an idiot. Heather (Red Lobster manager) was trying to get me to switch sections last night because I was a closer. Since I wanted to be difficult I argued until she gave in. Turns out the section she wanted me to switch to got all these really high tipping tables..so high that one table tipped Jen more then what I made for the whole night! Whoops. Oh well haha.

So tonight me and the Jenny Jordan are hanging out. Gonna have some greek pasta and watch some Exorcism of Emily Rose and Zoolander. Its gonna be good times. I haven't cooked for anyone in a long time...so its definatly a rare occasion.

Current Music: Hawthorne Heights - This is Who We Are

Wow what a reading weeek this has been so far. A whole lot of drinking. Not so much reading. Unfortunately I really have to start getting into the reading part of the week. Big exam on Monday and its going to kill me. But oh well what can you do.

Me and the Lads (Slitchbag, Wayne, Terry, Scott etc) hit up the viber last night for some heavy metal action. Unfortunately there was hardly anyone there, as could be expected. But we got drunk anyways...and when I say drunk...I mean real drunk. We had so many shooters compliments of Scott Miller. That shooter girl's fuckin hot. Scott brought this girl from his work whos a bit older (maybe 23?) and she was all over me! We danced and shit and then I left her and she was all over some other dude in like 2 seconds. It was fuckin funny. I think she probably made out with half the dudes at the bar! Dirty. She was trying to get me to take her home but we ran away and jumped a cab back to Slitch's. IT was good times all around.

Thats all.

Love Mark

ps The sound of my Gibson through my Mesa is honestly like a squirrel birthing an elephant sized porcupine. (Its that good).

Current Music: Death Cab for Cutie - What Sarah Said

MMM I just ate some pizza and I am definatly going to pay for it later. But it was so good it was definatly worth it. I had a very productive split shift at the Red Lobster today. Made about 100 bucks in tips, which is nothing to be smitten about on a Monday night. I also realized that I am extremely attracted to one of my co-workers. Nothing will ever happen there because shes older then me done school and has a real job. Also, it is the last person in the world I ever expected myself to have a crush on hahaha. Shes pretty much a bitch but we have gotten along a lot better since she found out Sarah and I broke up (she really hates Sarah haha). Shes got the worst attitude ever but for some reason I love it. This really proves the theory of attraction isnt a choice. But thats okay because I am not going to persue her as I am pretty sure that will be in vain. I have other potentials as well anyway. In other Red Lobster news they are hiring a cashier back who quit to go to Stockyard. She is a pretentious bitch and everyone hates her. It will be interesting and I cant wait to watch the drama unfold

So I am pretty behind in Organic chemistry and I am thus using reading week to catch up on that shiza. Oh and quitting the play was the best idea I've ever had.

I think thats all i feel like writing.

Current Music: Funeral for A Friend - Rookie of the Year

So this past couple of weeks have been awesome. I got a major stresser off my back yesterday and I feel totally awesome about it. I wrote 4 midterms and did substansially well on all of them...especially genetics considering I didnt even study for it. After exams I went home and dealt with the stresser in a concise fashion and then sat around playing guitar. After that I went over to Shera's and started getting wasted. Some of those forensics girls can drink. Holy shit. Beth...or Carrie Alcohol as she is affectionately called...chugged a beer and a mixed drink in a rather large glass at the same time..alternating them. I havent even seen Zach Washburn do that yet! Luke and Adam finally showed up and we got shitfaced before heading down to Sin City. Ran into lots of people on the bus..including Sharlene and Karim...they both thought that I made the right decision. So thats good that people dont hate me.

I met up with Scott Milla and his hot punker girl friend and we went into the bin. There was a pretty good crowd last night and I gotta say Liquid Coccaine is the best shot ever. Only scott milla would snort some with a straw then drink the rest. What a fuckin guy. I danced with a cute forensics girl for a few songs...that was cool. haha.

The walk home was absolutley dreadfuly wet. My shoes were fuckin soaked by the time we got back to Sheras...I am wearing her socks as we speak actually. They arent like gay socks or anything though just plain white ones lol.

Today I went to biology lab and that was lame. However I got 81% on my first lab i handed in this semeseter! I was pretty proud of that. I got 80% and 75% on the quizzes I wrote Wednesday as well.

Oh more good news. MY GUITAR HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These past two days have been so amazing in every detail. Makes me thankful to be alive! :) Be prepared to see it at the next Remember May show...it will rock your fucking socks off!

So tonight I am going to work and hanging out with Lyndsey (another server) afterwards. Not sure what we are doing. Tomorrow I am going to work again then going to Cobourg to do some re-recording. I have plans to hang out with Nikki but the recording is more important unfortunately so I will have to reschedule that.

I guess thats all for now. Stay classy.

Have you ever been lied to or screwed over? I HAVE! Wanna know how? I just found out my stupid ex girlfriend, who broke up with me because she needed some time for herself, already has another boyfriend. I'd also like to mention that I'm much better looking and generally in every other aspect as well. Its not that I am jealous because I am not. I am glad that I dont have her problems in my life anymore. But when someone breaks your heart and tells you something like that...then turns around and does that...its a little reason to be ticked.

So I found my old Senses Fail Let It Enfold you cd today. Best lyrics ever. They really hit it home with me today. Give em a read

Half smoked cigarettes and you're the trash that infests my sheets
can't make a wife out of a whore, don't want your skin on me
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust
Detoxing the cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on a dusty shelf

So this love's been worn down, like songs on a tape
The sex has lost all of its fun, like gum loses taste
And you're, you're addicted to the drug of lust,
And detox in a cold sweat of shame
and I love your pain

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf

I'm here lying in your bed babe
Remember what you said to me
"You can be my james dean, I'll be your sweet queen"
I said that you were my first, but you weren't even close now
Like a frame in a movie, you're just one of many
Can you grant me one last wish
Play russian roulette as we kiss
I'll be your cheap novelty
Blow your brains out on me

I gave you these roses now but I left in the thorns
I'd rather hurt someone than hurt myself
I'll dispose of you like a lighter out of fuel
I'll lose you somewhere on the shelf



FUCKING LOVE IT. Comment. I love you all. (well most of the people that read this haha)

Current Music: Choke on This - Senses Fail

Just to warn you...I am intending to make this journal entry fairly lengthy entry so I would recomend going to the bathroom before you start reading this. haha. There will also be stuff in here that I've probably never mentioned to anyone. I feel like being honest and no one reads this anyways so whatever.

I'm not sure where to start. These past few years of my life have been the greatest times and the worst of times. I was driving home tonight and just got thinking about the past few years...what I've accomplished...what I've fucked up...who I've fucked (haha kidding...maybe). I've been through so many jobs...many dates and flings...a couple serious relationships and some not so serious ones. I lost track of who I dated and who I made out with a long time ago haha.


I started a band with 4 of my good friends and managed to open up for Yellowcard and Rufio after being together for a year. We've wrote some incredible songs and met some amazing people along the way. I really like the fact that my band has earned so much local respect and I get recognized on the streets as "Mark from Remember May".

My latest relationship ended recently (month ago or so) after 8 or 9 months. Looking back on it I had some amazing times and it is definatly a 9 months that I will never forget. I dont think it was meant to be though. I tend to lie to myself about shit like that all the time...ignore warning signs from people and ignore thoughts of resent. When your happy and comfortable with something in life...the tendency is to block out anything that might make you be otherwise. I was attracted to other girls. I will admit that. I never acted on any of those desires because I am an honest faithful dude...but I just had to get that out there. Our relationship was too predictable. There was no suprises, no conflict. We never fought. There was plenty instances where we should have...but I turned into a passive wuss and avoided conflict at all costs. I got bored...she got bored. I was clearly upset when we broke up because I was so used to the routine and no one likes change when it comes to something like that. I now know that it was definatly for the best. I am better off without those problems in my life

I find that I am a lot happier now...being single. I can go out with my friends...not have to worry about getting too drunk and doing something stupid Trust me when I get loaded I am a totally different person...ask anyone about my wreckless night at Sin City after exams last year! Particularly Scott Miller he had a good laugh about it. That was just before me and Sarah were actually steadily dating..just to clarify that.

On a side note...I am really looking forward to reading week. I will finally be able to catch up on Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. I also get to hang out with Jenny. We might go to 38 degrees or maybe I will cook for her. Its undecided as of yet.

I have also decided that I am going to record some songs and release them on the internet or something. I have so much to say about everything in life. Undecided of whether I should do acoustic or electric or both. Let me know your thoughts

I have so much more to tell but alas I have to get back to the studying. So this is "To Be Continued"

I booked Valentines day off in December. What a fucking joke.

Mood: Apathetic.

Just kidding. Oh my life. Thats all I have to say. In the span of next week I have four fucking exams! FOUR! Then after reading week I have two more. As me and my partner and crime Kari would say...thats so brokeback its not even funny. I am so scared for Organic. When Jeffrey Charters is scared of the practice exam...you know that you are in big big trouble. But thats okay I will be studying between drinking on reading week so that will be pretty cool.

So tonight after work I hung out with Karen. It was a fun time. We rented some movie with Nicholas Cage being a gun dealer or something. Weird. It was a pretty boring movie too...I picked it because I thought there would be lots of action but alas there was not. Oh well whatever I am over it. At least I got a blockbuster membership now haha.

I guess thats all for now
Much love

First off I would like to mention that Julie Gordon is hot shit and that we should probably make out if it wont make our friendship of a million years weird.

Where do I start? Biochemistry is the worst text book probably in the history of textbooks. I have to read approximately 1064 chapters and I cant even get through the first one because it is more boring then the movie Munich (dont go there). I have a test on a bunch of chapters on Monday that is worth 20% of my mark and I am probably going to fail, considering I cant even read the first one. What the hell is school coming to?

So today, genetics was talking about PCR and basically made me want to punch myself in the dick. For those of you who dont know what PCR is its the DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction. Basically...you turn a little bit of dna into a dickload of it. We covered this to exaustion (Seriously) in Biology 206 and when I say exhaustion I mean lab reports and notes after notes until i wanted to kill myself then. Fucking course overlap.

After that, me and my very attractive friend named Kari went to Wendys and I ate 3 burgers. On a side note ever since I have started working out all of a sudden I have been consuming 4 times the amount of food in a day. Weird. So we ate Wendys then went to the Crypt and talked about all kinds of random things. It was a good time.

The next point of my adventure for the day was to go to Cell Biology. Remember the Veternarian prof? well shes gone for a few weeks and Brunetti is instructing. Hes a smart dude. I actually learned something new today which was cool.

On Friday me and my good pal Santina are going to go out for lunch. Not sure what time or where yet...but its going to happen.

Much Love

Andrew Stricko has a girlfriend. And shes hot as fuck. what is the world coming to?

love mark.
ps I'm single and need a hot brunette. takers?

I dont even know where to start. This weekend absolutely kicked my ass! The kick off event of course was the amazing concert at the Trash. We got such an awesome response from the crowd and I was loving it. Also the first concert I have played as a single guy in a long time...so that felt pretty damn good. I really enjoy having my photo taken with random chicks and signing autographs...I could really get used to that scene :). Oh and Summer Hero/Rides Again were absolutley amazing. Sick harmonies! Wow. I got so trashed and was singing summer hero at the top of lungs. Good times. I went back to my friend Kristy's house after the concert was over and crashed.

Saturday my throat felt like shit so I went home and slept for a few hours. Then I drove to Lindsey and hung out with Nikki for a few hours. Shes fairly hot. THeres nothing to do in Lindsey so we sat around in the car for a bit...then went to the mall and I bought a new garbage can and a stupid dustbuster that I am taking back. Lame.

After the Lindsey affair I went to PTBO chilled with Scott Milla and co...then went to Strickos and ate his chinese food. Then I went and hung out with Kellie and Jenn for a bit but they were wasted so I decided to go home and sleep.

Today I went to work and wasted 4 hours of my life doing nothing. Then I went to band practice and we wrote a sick song. We are so good. FUCK. It sickens me.

Anyways thats my update so bye.

Love Mark
ps comment if you love me

Current Music: Lets Get Fucked Up and Die - Motion City Soundtrack

I have come to the conclusion that Kate Beckinsale is, without a doubt, the most attractive woman in the entire world. For those of you who are not familiar with her...she is the girl that is in Underworld and Underworld: Evoloution. Nothing like a hot and sassy brunette that knows how to kick some ass. haha. Anyway I went to see Underworld: Evoloution last night with my friend Julie and I have to say it was one of the sweetest movies I have seen in a while!

We went to Montanas for dinner before the movie and it honestly wasnt that bad. I had a chicken salad wrap and it was fairly good. The hostess commented on my Protest the Hero button (strickos actually but whatever I was wearing it) and said how good she thought they were. I was gonna invite her to come see my band but she wasnt there when I left. Oh well!

Anyways...everyone should listen to Lets Get Fucked Up and Die by Motion City Soundtrack because that song is sooo good!
