2008-04-10T10:49:12Z

I have been feeling sick since tuesday. I feel dizzy.My head hurts. I am having stomach problems. Plus I think I am getting a little bit of a cold. I'm so upset.I wanted to go to the April thing.I wanted to see everyone.It's been so long. I made the mistake of staying at my parents last night.So now I have to take the train home. I hope I don't have to get off at any point but my stop.

I haven't written in here in awhile. I have been thinking latel.I miss people.I want to start hanging out.

My Paternal Grandfather died.I just found out last night.I never really knew him.I wrote him some letters when I was younger. He wrote back.Then I met him when I was 16. I feel stupid, but I cried. I just don't understand why. I didn't even really know him! I just feel really bad for my dad.They stopped speaking years ago. The way my mom explained it once him and my grandma got divorced he divorced the kids.

I just don't want to go through my life like that.Not talking to people and then something so final happens and I can't resolve it. :( I'm still really upset. And they're not even having a service for him.

YES WE CAN!!!

That's it

2007-09-17T17:30:56Z

I give up.

If you missed the show last night....

2007-05-27T16:37:03Z

No worries.They'll be doing a show every year in April,Cause that's when her Birthday was. Also you can send donations to Thersa. Her myspace is myspace.com/thersa. Also she is still selling pins they are $1-$2. Contact her! The money goes to the April Ann Arcuri scholarship fund. The more you send the big the scholarship fund will get, then the person who recieves the scholarship will get that much more of an education.

Benifit Show For April Arcuri.COME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-05-21T16:40:29Z

taken from dave (the booker of the benefit):

THE MEAN FIDDLER on 47th St. just East of 8th Ave. will host the first annual rock benefit for THE APRIL ANN ARCURI MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND.......
This coming Saturday, May 26th.
We have gathered the best new female fronted bands to make this powerful statement of affectionate support for the fund and the family of our friend, April who died in an auto accident in December, 2006.
I will continue with the history after I give you the details of the show.
Denise Gerardi has jumped on board to help promote this event.
We will start early and stay until everyone gets what they came for.

LETALIS at 7:15
HELLO TOKYO at 8pm
EARTH STOOD STILL at 8:45
AFTER DAWN at 9:30
GROUND TO MACHINE at 10:15
THE BATTERIE at 11pm
JEN URBAN & THE BOX at 11:45
and we finish up with MAHOGANY.

The Long Island based, female rock band MURR played a string of shows for us in 2004, 2005, and early in the year 2006 at CBGB's, The Continental, Pianos, Arlene's Grocery and The Munchaba Lounge. We all became fast friends.
Band members; April (drums), her Sister - Jeanine (vocals), Theresa (bass) and Christina (guitar) always came to shows with their self-appointed Manager, Jason, and the roadies......Al (Step-Dad) and Rosemary (Mom) in tow. The girls were friends in High School and had played together for several years doing shows on Long Island before eventually making their mark at rock clubs in Manhattan. Murr could playfully entertain...and....rock your ass.... all at the same time.
In mid-2006 we asked the band to do a show at Pianos for Kipp's Birthday. They declined, citing April's need to focus on her studies in an effort to graduate early with her Masters Degree by December.
Later in the year we asked if they wanted to be special guests at Meanyfest...and again...they declined.
On Christmas Eve, Jason called, saying that April and Jeanine were rehearsing... that they were ready to return to the stage and wanted us to look into getting some dates for them in 2007. He told me that April had walked in her cap and gown and received her Masters on December 10th. Of course my emphatic answer was "yes"!!
Then on December 31, Jason called again with the heartbreaking news that April had died as the result of injuries she suffered in an auto accident. At the wake I became aware of the formation of the Scholarship Fund in her name. I knew immediately that we would be doing this fundraiser and it is my hope that we continue to do them every year... on a date near April's birthday.
So...that's it for now. Spread the word and bring your friends. See you next week.

So I almost cried last night

2007-01-29T14:53:34Z

I got to my parents house last night.I look on the table and there's a small off white envelope with my name on it.Unfortunatly for me I've gotten so many I knew what was in it.I didn't even have to see the return address.It was a thank you prayer card from Mrs. Arcuri and Family.My mom was like "Is that?" I said "yeah it's from April's family." Then I went in the bathroom to change into my pjs,also so I could stop myself from crying.I know it's normal to cry.But I just need a break from crying.

Things that put you straight back to grieving step # 1

2007-01-15T16:54:18Z

I have been doing a bit better since the funeral. Then on Saturday my parents came over to help me with stuff at my apartment.And well I found her clip.Just a simple little green clip that you put your hair up with.I almost cried.But I didn't want to break down in front of my parents. I still can't make any sense of this whole fucking thing.I don't think I ever can and I know that it's normal to feel this way,but god it sucks.It hurts bad.Crying can only help so much,then it's back to sucksville. I miss you April.

I MISS YOU APRIL

2006-12-31T16:07:52Z

For all that don't know MuRR lost a member.The drummer April was in a car accident on Friday afternoon and she didn't make it.She was loved by all who knew her.April will be terribly missed.I just can't believe this is real.I feel like I'm going to wake up tomorrow and it will just have been a horrible nightmare.

Assault on 411-Vanderbilt Avenue

2006-12-23T00:37:34Z

So this client comes in #1 with an attitude. Then continues to tell Theresa she's going to throw her in front of a truck. So in the mean time I'm on the phone with the Aspca,Theresa then comes to the back.Then this women proceeds to curse and yell. Also she starts slamming on the front door. Screaming that we're racists and she's going to get a lawyer. Screams some more,then the nice glass dog treat thing we had,she chucks into the receptionists office.So yeah,that's shattered.I called the police.And cause they weren't there all they can do is file a report without her info.ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ATTN:GOODTIMES CREW

2006-11-26T23:44:23Z

what dates work for you guys for x-mas/Hanukkah? That way I can figure out when we can get together.

SORRY GOODTIMES CREW

2006-11-07T01:56:27Z

I know that the goodtimes crew probably thinks I was avoiding them.I guess in a way I was.But I was avoiding everyone.Depression is a sucky sucky thing.Unfortunatly I am not good at letting things go. Oct.26th was a year since Roisin died,so I got in a funk.I just needed some space and time to think.I'm still kind of blah. I've just been trying to do things on my own,doing things for me. Because I tend to do everything I can for those I care for.Unfortunatly I end up leaving myself out or more so my feelings.I just spread myself thin.It caught up with me. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

I also learned that I am not quite ready to trust my brother.I had misplaced my mp3 player and automatically jumped to the conclusion it was him, cause he had been at the apartment. I never truly knew how much trust meant to me. I don't trust anyone anymore. I have to realize it's not my fault that he stole from me. I have been blaming myself. Which has only been hurting me.But now I have started to full blame him for what he did.Also I know it's a disease but people saying that to me makes me feel worse.Cause at this point I feel that's just an excuse and it doesn't help me to feel better

I know that you all try you hardest to be there for me and that you want to make me feel better. Which I appreciate. I don't mean to make anyone feel like what they say or do isn't good enough.I in no way mean to come off like that. I fully apologize.

I just ask that everyone bare with me and try their best to understand.
