wildwood in the winter, big boulder in the pocono, [01 Mar 2009|12:12pm]
[ music | old white lincoln by the gaslight anthem ]

so i just came in from a clean weekend. this is the first weekend i haven't done anything related to alcohol or drugs, yay! haha, so i guess it's a good weekend. well for the clean part. for the fun part, it was sigg as shit. friday i saw jimmy robbins (too sorry for apologies) for the first time at the troc balcony w/ william tell. then yesterday i went to the mountains, prefferbly big boulder with kev. i was supposed to be chillin with lori today but i'm real sore, have mad homework, and she has a hang over for the first time hahah.

i don't usually update this anymore. i usually update my blogspot, or my absolutepunk.net blog. through all them blurry days and blurry nights i do rememebr writing a journal entry that i would still write in this once in awhile! so i haven't drove my mini-van in a long while and my mom calls my van a hazard. it's my baby, and they want to give it up and trash it =( but hey, i'll be getting a new car via summer 09 after i graduate! haha ridley 09 baby. thank god. so march 1st, and time has been flying. ive been meeting new friends and only have lost about a little and i love it. kev was tellling me that i probably have a lot of friends where i can tell my personal stuff to, haha that's a joke. the last time i ever told someone about a relationship or an update on my life are blogposts, and ari. oh shit! ari, i forgot, that's who i tell most of my stuff too. haha, that's why he's one of my best ones. duh, i'm an idiot. i can't wait till this friday because i'm going to see bring me with thursday and four year strong for the taste of choas tour. that should be a night to rememebr haha, and that's where my partying days are back up in store. siqq, i officially love my life again.

oh and up in the mountains, i went snowblading, it's almost like rollerblading but on the ice. that was fun as hell and i loved it. new experiences make life more interesting. i thought i would have broke something but i didn't! i wanna get back into shape, and i decided that i might do tennis again for my senior year. i also decided to start back skating for the new year. i need to keep on living life to the edge. so summer 09, here we go.

last but not least, i listen to mad indie artists such as friendly fires, american football, owen, broken social scene, the gaslight anthem, and more. i love it, it's so mellow, and chill. this year has been such a great year for me as well, i would have never thought i would be going down to wildwood in the winter time. haven't done that since sophmore year w/ peter, sean and co. so good, so good. i have taken many pictures as usual and they are up on my flicka. also last, i have been saying this every year and i really want to do this, but i want to really make rashadrastam.com. have updates on life, my blog and everything else. but i don't now how to and i don't know if i should make it based upon my blogspot or make a tumblr or i have no idea. oh and you can catch me having updates on my twitter if you care about me.
 
haha who the fuck even reads this. i'm not even famous, but i love pretending i am. i really fucking love pretendign i'm somebody, but i'm just like everybody else. someone who loves to have a good time. actually fuck it. i love life.

happy new year! [01 Jan 2009|05:32pm]
[ music | what she really wants by brighten ]

it's 2009.

it's too late to say anything. it's too late for apologies. it's too late to drop secrets. 2008 is gone, and it's over. looking back, to be honest, i really loved 2008. from meeting new friends, losing old ones, reaquainting with the very old ones, and losing the ones that don't care about me anymore. 2009 is going to be the best year ever. i know it. from already planning out with new friends from different colleges, and slowly not caring what high school has to offer anymore. i think i don't have anything to worry about. winter break is almost over, but i am looking forward for summer 09.

18th birthday is coming up and that's gonna own. tumbr/website is in the making, and someday will beat out martin johnson's site. i have officially became a facebook guy. myspace is becoming mad corny and only just enjoying the music. things to love for the new year: redbull, soco, jack's, skyvod, 5 hr energies, vans, nikes, and more photos.

i don't do resolutions anymore, and i just started a dirty habit on smoking cigs, losing money on green, and having no job. (i'm actually trying to stop smoking, as hard as it seems, and drinking, well drinking, is about to fuck me over. big time.)

after a month of losing my religion for a little, and not caring what goes on outside my room. i think having a short vacation up in hoboken, new jersey did the trick. i'm gonna start all over again. right now at this instant, a few months ago/years, i would be thinking "why the hell am i not in nyc, enjoying life?" right now, i am in my friends apartment, tired, disquesting, fucked, and everything else, thinking, fuck the cold. lets just relax. haha it's so awesome making these guys i'm chillin with laugh. i wish i had my camera last night. i needed to take this one picture, of how these three dudes made me cry laughing. haven't done that in awhile.

haha after writing this short update on my life, and how things have changed, i only missed one thing from 2008. just one thing and the only thing i miss doesn't miss me anymore. moving on is hard. isn't it?

i haven't had this in awhile: best day ever. [12 Nov 2008|10:46pm]
[ music | los angeles by peter bradley adams ]

sort of. well it started when i got out of ridley high school to go to vo-tech. soltured (saturned) some hardware piece listening to well known bands such as snow patrol, and coldplay. then left early with scott to go on our adventure of getting my polaroid cameras! i only really needed one but somehow by the end of teh adventure ended up with three. i went to some dudes house from craigs that lived in norristown and purchased two polaroid cameras from him for 10 bucks total. norristown is the best city known for it's ghetto-ness, thirftshops, old buildings, and mad factories. on our way coming home, we stopped by a salvation army.

now this salvation army was amazing. had many old retro stuff from the 70's and i suddenly found a polaroid camera laying on a radio i believe. no price tag on it, so i just fround a price tag saying: $2.99 and purchased it for well, $2.99 plus tax. now what sucks is that buying the polaroid film is expensive as hell. $20.00 for 10 flim. the worst part is you don't know it* staples ran out of it, so i can't jack and cvs is outragous.

tonight almost sucked. i'm never going into middle chester ever again. i got tangled in a drug-bust, but got out as quickly as i could. my friend didn't survive and i am left off with no green and $50.00 gone. i hope all ends well tommrow.

so how could this be the best day you might ask. (i know you're asking so, go with me). faith and destiny is really what i needed to keep me going. i have been thinking negatively after the date where one year ago had changed my life. an e-mail was sent to me that said the person tried calling multiple times and to end it off is what made me smile. good day.

tonight i was also offered to play a show in december. i am pretty excited. i have been stuck in listening world, finding new ideas, creating melodies in my head, but never playing music and writing in awhile. but yesterday i cured my writers block a little and i have been playing again. this is gonna be good. real good. it's just i need two weeks to rehurse the material and see if rob will help me play the show under my name.

i don't think i mentioned my dive bomb in stat or my new mini fridge that isn't so mini and my two computers. but right now at this second, i'm living the life i wanted when i was 8 haha. but i'm not going to be living the dream i wanted when i was 12. tommrow is a green raider newspaper meeting. i will attend and find a topic that suits me most so i can sort of get this journalist thing off the ground. i enjoy writing for fun, not for a living.

i have my future set for me after high school. it kind of saddens me to see i will be spending one more year at home, and how people will be off somewhere else, ill be spending time here. but the best part about it is even though i will be going to college near home, ridley is not an option. weekends will be spent away from home and the only time i'll be home is to study. at least i know what i want. the outcome will be good. but right now, i'm still deciding majors in the same field but it's complicated.

last but not least on the longest journal entry i have wrote on this since forever ago, i have found a movie that is dealt with destiny. yet, in a deifferent perspective and different country, the movie has heart, and how the story has played out through the trailer has left me speechless. the movie is called slumdog millionaire. it comes out in two weeks and im in love. just wiki it to find out more. but for now, here's the trailer:



love, love, love,
rashad

p.s. it's going to tke a few more years, so hold on.

[ music | killing me by graham colton band ]


just came home from riding bikes and that was hella fun. who would have known that in my town (morton) there were obstacles and one ways. i love how suburban people are not used to people riding bikes on the side of the road but city people are. a few hours ago i just deposited all 8 of my checks from july, and all my loose money into the bank. total deposited was $3,128.01 and that increased my savings by a lot. can't wait to save more. i lied to the bank lady by telling her i was buying a new car. i don't really know what i want.

but i do know what i want that doesn't involve money but just a little heart.

the picture above is the graham colton band. graham colton is amazing. this singer songwriter struck me through his musical talents since freshmen year by christie. i find it funny that every good band i find is through her, and she listends to a lot of indie rock/good fucking music. now, graham colton in't that young musicial anymore, but is just graham colton, and he just came out with his solo cd. i prefer his old stuff but the new stuff is good as well. check it out:

 
one of my favorite albums through 17 years of living. also i just came to another conclusion with my blogger. my blogspot is for world around me and things that struck people as convient to read than my life. my livejournal is strickly me haha, and my tumbr/website that will be starting right after graduation. sick man sick.

this just in: saving money to move out! that's what it was haha.

to-get-her [05 Nov 2008|08:02pm]
[ music | killing me by graham colton band ]

after these long months of campeigning and helping out, barack obama is now president. im amazed, this is history and majority of voters to choose barack obama were white voters. much love, much love.

new jams have been set. did not know that my one band has 6 songs finished. but we need more members! also i am amazed by a man named dave byrnes. he is a singer songwriter who writes great music and on the side (or what he calls "second life") he is a stand up comedian. that's what i pretty much want to be for pretty half my life. i mean 25 percent is music, another 25 percent is comedian, and then 50 percent is working with computers, living a normal life, making large amounts of money etc etc.

i hope i remember this, but lately i can't remember anything because of chronic in my system, that when i graduate, i am going to make a tumbr, and make it my website. to begin a new life.

but i hope to make it out there someday in the world where musicians come together.

hidden message: this weekend will mark our one year just hanging out by the suburban sides of philadelphia. that night when we broke off, i knew i should have...although we don't feel the same way anymore, that night we did. we knew it. and i just changed the subject from "barack obama: president of the united states of america" to "to-get-her." lame. but worth it.

it was worth it. it was worth the wait.

Windows down as the night blows in
Tap the beat on the wheel as the tires spin
Until we're there crank the radio
We'll join in with the songs we know

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

Smiles light up as we walk in
Old conversations begin again
Nostalgia's thick as the August air
It takes us back to a time when we didn't care, we didn't care

Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight
Hey, everything's right, said everything's right tonight

the things i do for people [21 Oct 2008|09:07pm]
[ music | los angeles by peter bradley adams ]



another night of back to back blogs. i can't give up on my livejournal. both, blogspot and livejournal accounts somehow mean somethig to me, but i really actually don't give a shit. what i don't understand is that one of my friends ask me to upload his photos for him that i took last week, and i do it this week. that is rare because i usually wait a month. but how do you go skate a park that i suggusted every day and not invite me? hmm, the things i do for people.

it's funny, i have plans for my future, and i am loving what's gonna happen, but i'm not moving out. i may plan to move to the city, but it's a waste of money now. all i have to say is that if i don't have my way when i'm 18, and living in the house still, i will move out. i don't care if i move to chester, anywhere but ridley. but hey, the rents are giving me more freedom, but i have siblings, and i have rents that go to bed at 2 in the morn.

but in other news, obama shows a good chance of winning but the mccain people are going insane. owen and gregory and the hawk are coming to philadelphia (first unitarian church). I am doing merch for william fitzsimmons at the tin angel on november 4th and I am going to see peter fucking bradley fucking adams with my dad on november 17th. i will be buying a road bike schwinn off of some kid in my vo-tech class tomorrow which fucking rules. i don't care if i'm by myself, i'm going to skate all day tommrow. maybe with my new friend that has plans for always wait for it haha. finally, i want to start taking portraits for people. photography's gonna be in my blood all week ahh.

all i want now is a macbook, tickets, a shirt, finish my walls, finish studying, and get the new g1.

top: robert chimienti. portrait. i think it's a pretty good picture.

copeland friday. i was planning on getting fucked up for the show or after, but i don't know anymore. i really wanna stop hitting up the bong and pipe, but i can't. haha, it really kills brain cells. i can't remember what i did lately, and i have loss all hope in spelling. my memory is sinking but i hope i can remember some copeland songs by heart for the show.

till then.

haha i love going back and fourth between blogspot and livejournal. all i'm going to say is:

"And what if we were married forever?
Like the past never happened
And time did not exist for us at all
I still think we'd still be traveling together
Through all kinds of weather
Everything's a piece of everyone"

[ music | taken by brightwood ]

not waking ashland, but brightwood. i have been getting catchy songs stuck in my head. Not from lousy signed pop bands, but pop, indie, ambient, emotional, bands that actually send out meaning that actually matters. right now i am in a state where when i want alone time, i got it, but it is a gift right now, and its only for a limited time.

my folks come home tommrow, and they have been gone for 8 days already. i've called out work twice already, missed an amount of school that doesn't actually kill me, made new friends that count, and found out that throughout this time to actually think what is going on with mty social life, everyone who is new to me, is a safe zone.

i have been driving my mom's 06' toyota solara: open top convertable, everyday so far, not for the popularity, but to feel what was it like living like a different person. by day, i am a imple like boy who wears button down collared shirts that don't matter, but by night i drive with an open top with a new friend.

i met a twenty year old lady from blockbuster two months ago. she was a nice person to scan all my blockbuter movie out, but she caught my dad's attention. yeah, he was pretty and my dad would like to whip out hi charm jut to turn frowns upside down, but this was different. i decided to work mine as well. her name was kara, and afterthe departure of my family's trip to las vega, nevada, i spent time with her.

he broke the news that she was moving to new york, and leaving her town behind. i never got a chance to hang out with her, but after i heard that, i decided to hang out with her. the best part was that this was a truthful friendship and everything was based upon being yourself. we aw a shooting star and played on the playground sunday night/morning, and last night, eating at dairy queen for dessert first then dinner at tom jones. at last came back to my place and watched little miss sunshine.

she's now a good friend of mine, and when she moves, i'll be back here by myself again, making the mistake of hanging out with (i would never say this but it has convinced me...) lame lower classmen that don't matter.

bringing it back down: my friend rob's birthday is tommrow! so i decided to give his present early. all is well, all end well, and so now we're gonna see copeland!

vo-tech is amaizng for only one thing: the teacher is a mess and i met a new friend who actually got a ticket on the first day who passed his licence. bill, a student at penncrest is friends with my old friend chris lamon, and dominic! this other kid rap and records his stuff at chester.

update: i want a microKORG so bad so i can make and produce mad beat like no idea and secretly play in one could only hope because they are getting ethan a they're new screamer/singer!

speaking of ethan, he wanted me to play with his band thieves and saints @ glenolden park last saturday and i did. it was really nice and i played some of my favorite originals!

i blew all my money. i spent my new starter money on food and clothes. i made a wishlist for eid and i have been fating everyday in eptember except two days.

i have been going to philadelphia everyday to get away from everyone and to live. ubiq, deep sleep, urban outfitters and american apparel!

copeland has posted a new on their mypace off their new record entitled you are my sunshine which come out october 14th and it is called "the grey man".

i have brought always wait for it back to life as a clothing company. check it out. i want to have three shirts coming out on 11/11 or 11/9.

i also want my solo ep to come out that time as well.

listen to: brightwood, copeland, inpassing, owen, courage call, ryan calhoun, search the city, rookie of the year and ellington.

check out: deep sleep, and ubiq clothing.

vaca, and then another vaca, [04 Aug 2008|10:09am]
[ music | brace yourself by howie day ]

well i'm gone that is, missing another my american heart show, but the same time, enjoying whats left of the summer. actually you know what? i need a break. from drama, friends, work, and life. stop all world now.  i've been working for like 5 or 6 straight days and all i want to do is settle!

i xpect a huge ass pay check. i have a grand and 200 dollars lying on my table now dying to jump in the bank. at work i met ben gibbard (lead singer of death cab), at home i watched the full straight season of the oc. season one that is and it was pretty much epic. wish that the oc on tv today wasn't over. 

only one more week till new material for the city skyline begins. over in stone harbor, ahh can't wait. mad pictures, photography, creating new memories. i can't wait.

my ride is officially coming apart. i have no idea why but all the windows are being fucked up and its hard to hotbox in it anymore. all i want to do is to make it my second home. oh speaking of hotboxes, i just found out that smoking with me isn't so chill anymore. if you are a teenage dirtbag that wants to fuck my chill sesh, don't ever fuck with me.

jesus, i pretty much babysitted a scared bitch while i was in my peak. why do i even chill with little bitches who think they are hot shit? we need to have a talk.

last but not least, my new best friend, chelsea, is one of the funniest sorta lesbian sorta not, best person in the world. you should meet her sometime.

right now: uploading all of my new cd's on itunes, syncin that bitch! howie day: stop all the world now.

i miss you [17 Jul 2008|11:57pm]
[ music | christy's wedding by the class of 98 ]

 vaporizer owns. the class of 98 owns. new city skyline owns. the colbert owns. thieves and villains owns. boobs owns. i really miss you.

i guess this is a personal "live" update on life. but here it goes.

i miss my old life. i miss hanging out with the class of 09. i miss hanging out with my best friends. i miss the tranisition of going from baggy torn up jeans to tight pants. i miss discovering new music through purevolume.

i miss wearing my hat crooked.
i miss rastam's three, norwood.
i miss interboro and it's people.
i miss sean ward from rms.
i miss sleeping on the floor.
i miss staying up way too long, and waking up way to early.
i miss the good times with everyone.

and i miss when everything seemed so close yet so far away. it was never too far away.

love, rashad

[ music | worlds apart by thieves and villains ]

early morning for me. gotta get ready for another sat class at dccc. i love skating now, it's pretty fun and boss. i love life actually. i used to couldn't balance skating and music but now i can. i made/wrote a new song yesterday with the lyrics for the city skyline, and it is pretty damn legit. recording at huppmans owned yesterday. i also had the chnace to record material for my solo ep as well. i was so happy. but i want to re-record two songs. legit is my new word!

best things in life: huppman is our drummer now. i have just produced the best acoustic sound at huppman studios. my vocals were up to my best potential. didn 't break a string yesterday from recording haha. my lyrics are all about travel says huppman, and roadtrippy style. haha hey i like it. feeling like a rockstar, never felt so good. 

when i come home from this class, i'm going straight to practicing the new song. here's a sneak peak of the lyrics.

i always knew
that believers
were always
knocking at my door
i always knew that
the seasons
were changing as i go, you were as well
i always knew that
this would end
but not like this, not like this
im covered in hope that
i could change you
i could change you
i could change

how's that for non-travel. love life.

love, rashad.

the part of me that begs you [10 Jul 2008|03:32pm]
[ music | dry throats unite by thieves and villains ]

i just bought the new thieves and villains record "movement" and apparently it is the "record of the summer" says victory records. i thought it would have been a bad buy since i can get it for free but i just wanted to support the band instead. i bought it and already love it. yes, it is a short record, and its one of those records that say yes, our demos were better but in the end its a likable record. i can't wait to write a review now.

actually can't wait for stone harbor.

actually can't wait to skate...so yeah!

p.s. watch vantage point, mad action packed, it will kickass. mine severely badly. out of your seat film, better than any action/adventure movie you've seen in years. hows that for critic?
