| so dcab/homecoming weekend was the last entry, jeez, what a long time ago...
so in the past month lets see, in no order this is what been happenin.
I GOT A CAR!! o yea, nothin crazy fast and furious like, but it works for me and i got no complaints, Honda Accord Sedan, black, 2002....which mean liscence in right now i think the countdown is at 31 days(DECEMBER 30 BITCHES). Since ive gotten the car, the days seem to be getting longer and longer, i cant take it nemore, ahhhh
The "how many days in a row can we see each other straight" thing with dave ended at 67, pretty cool, pretty pathetic, haha
Went to some pretty cool shows this past month:
THE USED/THE BRONX/THE BLED--- used was pretty weak, new stuff is way too dissapointing; the bled dominated in every way imaginable, so fuckin good, got to dance alot; the bronx was very sexy, very fun good times
COHEED/UNDEROATH- fun trip to roseland in the city once again; coheed never dissappoints at all and in my opinion gets better and better each time i ee them; underoath was decent, sound problems caused me to not enjoy their set as much but none the less it was fun
TAKING BACK SUNDAY/ATREYU- fun times, but since it was night after coheed, i was dead and very tired; atreyu was surprisingly rele good and fun; tbs was usal tbs, good set good performance
I CAN MAKE A MESS LIKE NOBODYS BUSINESS- instore at vintage vinyl, very sexy, very intimate, got to meet ace and the crew; soudned awesome played lots of good songs
...what else...
as most of u know there was some band drama, people leavin then comin back, but for the record...RAEGAN is back and never been better, new songs, better sound, and we workin better than we ever have. more shows and all that bull comin within the new yr, so be on the lookout...
some messed up fmaily issues, some prettty unexpected but it should all be for the better, we'll see soon if im right...
did decnt on report card except for one fucked up whore of an excuse phycial education lady(yea bitch u dont get teacher cuz ure not, so dont even try and argue) gave me a freakin c- in tennis, C-, honestly, who does, so we colombians rnt the msot athletic on the tennis court, and it was freezing most of the days, how can someone play a sport liek that in such intense frigidness, ure a joke you stupid whore....neway, besides that grades werent bad, b's and a's, can doa lil better...
-------------
What ive seen that you must see in the past month:
SSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW---- incredible fuckin movei, very well though out and clever, acting was lil weak but if u lighten up a lil ull get over it, def one of my faves ever
City Of God---- saw this on starz5034789565 on io at like 2 in the morning one night...AWESOEM movie, portugese subtitled, but is so well done. about slums and the crime lords of rio de janero and is very cool. GO SEE IT or RENT IT!!
Music on my itunes/mp3:
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE- THE PHOTO ALBUM(godly, pure genius); Transatlanticism(very sexy album"
Dillinger Escape Plan- Miss Machine( did i not say i would get into this abnd eventually-- intense and very fun to lsiten to)
A DOZEN FURIES- Rip The Stars Down EP (yes theis is the band that is on the mtx Battle for Ozzzfest show, but they r so good, and if they dont win, the show is rigged)
The OC- ne music playe don this freakin show is amaazing- the walkmen, south, damien rice, new amsterdams, nada surf, zero 7, etc....they all good bands, listen to em)
This Providence- Our Worlds Divorce (good old poppy punk but done rite, enjoyable none the less)
Minus The Bear- Discography(although ive only had it for the past day, it been playing alot in the past 24 hrs, very cool, different sound)
The Bronx- amazing cd to drive to, very fun
Reeve oliver- GOOOOD shit, lsiten to them

last nite, me dave and rog took the trip into the city to goo see Death Cab For Cutie...after bout an hr of traffic and a traumatic first eye contact pop out, in the back of the car...we finally got to the city...we split up with dave sparents who went to see a show, and we began to walk over to the venue. Stopped at mcdonalds for some munchies and then took the 10 block walk over.. Rele nice night out...we got to venue(ROSELAND BALLROOM).
Get inside around 815 and the venue is HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! So fuckin nice, i loved it. Beats ne venue in sound, nice ness, stage, floor, w/eoverall just an amazing place. So we got some merch then went into the crowd for some Pretty Girls Make Graves. I personally like this abnd when im in the mood for it... and i was last nite. Scott and dave hated the chick singer(nto many people seem to get into her easily) but i enojyed her alot...and the music is fuckin sick, evn rog and dave agree on that. neway they plyed a decent set. then when they were done, we charged our way up to as clsoe as we could(which still wasnt that close to the stage). we got our spot, closely paacked(yea at a death cab show, it was intense lol)...
They went on ariund 915 and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ben gibbard sounds perfect in every way, as well ass the rest of band...The set was amazing and playe dpretty much every song i wanted to hear(minus passenger seat)...

| yea so this week was filled with ALOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of shit, and im bored and not tired(reasons y ill get ot later) so why not update....
so i guess ill continue form where i left off....i woke up klov and kantor that fri nite adn we went to visit my sisters friend at like 230 in the morn. Mad chill, alot of fun, had some gooooood times, hehe. Me and kantor slept late on sat. but klov coulnt and went home sometime earlier that morn. Later i decided to finally take the breave step into the world of contact lenses, so i went to the eye doctor, got the eye test, and got em. for the emost part i did it pretty well and i went home with them. That night was jen sperms sweet 16 dinner. Good times, chilled with some good people and just had fun. Went back after with dave to his house and met up with allie and ez. Decided around 12 to take the walk over back to ez hosue so we did....chilled there, played some pool, listen to music. Allie got picked up aorund 130ish and me and dave walked back to his house. I slept over and left early sunday morn.
Sun and Mon cant remember what i did, im sure it wasnt to interesting...
tues...DAY 50...of what...of seein the same awesome freind for fuckin 50 days in a row. kinda gay and pointless but its a pretty cool accomplishment. sad part is it still goin, but i Bet most of u cant say uve seen one of ure best buds that many days in a row..... YEA, didnt think so....BIOTCH!!!
wed was a LONGG FUCKIN day oy....half day fo school, then a rele good band practice rite after, where we thought of what i think could be one of the coolest songs we have the potential to write. neway, that ended by like 4, got a surprise visit from allie, jackie, and carly...cool but had to kick em out cuz i was leavin for the city to go to not 1 but 2 concerts....
so wed nite i got picked up by ez and we went to get jeff. Just made the 508 train at aberdeen. was supposed to get in at 616 but got delayed and we got in 25 min late. which wasnt good considering we needed to get food, piss, and catch a cab downtown...so we ran out of the train grabbed some nathans, i took my much needed piss, and we ran up the street to find a cab. the cab line was way too long and we only had about 12 min to find a cab and get downstown. we realized there was no way wed find one right outside of penn with it bein so crowded, so we decided wed walk over a few blocks and get one on a less busy street. Right when we ready to cross the strret outisde of penn, were blocked by a cab and someone getting out...it was perfect, we got in and arrived at CBGB's just in time(7) to see motherfuckin DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!!
so we get into the venue, smallllll as hell, no one rele by the stage, so us 3 went right up front and waited forthem to go on. right when we got our spots they got on stage and played an awesome set...this band is aamzing, i love them, they rule, and oo yea...MY BAND OPENED FOR THEM!!!!!!!....yeaa. ez waited and spoke to the bassist while me and jeff went outside...for some reason i chose to not go in and i regret it so much, but yea ez said they actually remebred playin the show with us which was prety cool, haha...
we didnt have much time tho and left CBGB's for club avalon uptown.
we got a cab and got to the club around 750. The club is def one fo the coolest venue ive been in. its an old church form back in like the 1700s, but they made it rele cool and shit inside. The satge was rele nice size, and the floor was what was usally a dance floor....all around the second level was a railing that looked over the stage and floor. Right as we got in we saw I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Buisness. Ace form The Early November, new side band. he sounded awesome. After we decided instead of waiting on the floor we would wait on the second level and watch from the railing. we found a rele cool spot right above the drummer and had a nive view above the stage lookin out to the crowd. So we staeyed there and watched Halifax (nothin special), Steel Train(WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!.....increidble, increidble incredible) Hellogoodbye (i hate this band on cd, but live they proved me wrong, rele good, i have a new respect for this band). then i went back on the floor and watched HIdden IN Plain View....WEAK ASSS CROWD, but the band sounded awesome so i had fun...during one song, he shoved the mic right into my face and i sang (just me)....soooo fuckin cool, haha. Then Early November came on, played a rele fun set, love watching this band. Thorughout the night i think we met at least some if not all of the band memvber from each band, it was rele cool. LEft by midnight and got picked up by my dad. lots of traffic ddint get home til 2, but def worth it...
thursday nothin exctin, daves parents left him home alone so it was his first night of what would be a crazy 4 day independent weekend haha. we went out to moms for dinner, then i went back to his house to do some chem work.
friday was supposed to go to sixflags with a bunch of people but it didnt work out, so the band all went to daves and hung out. had a rele cool night, had our own Head Automatica dance party with black light and a siren light....yea, dont lie u wish u were there haha. just relaxed and had fun. Orchant, jackie and allie came over was pretty cool. Everyone left pretty early tho cuz of psats next mornin..
sat-PSATS fuckin suck, oy....cant wait to see how i did on that shit. Wen to mall tih kantor and dave, saw a lot of random people. Went home, then a bunch of us met back at daves before the event of the century...SARA KAY's SWEET 16...yea so the abdn and chris all got their outfits coordinated with the different color ties(me bein a nice shade of purple haha) pregamed a lil and then went to the party. It turned out way better than i thought ut was gonna be. I even danced, haha, yea so had a good time. But the night was only begining....
we left SK around 1015, and a bunch of us guys got picked up in 2 separte cars...we all went to daves and had a good amount of alcohol that we had gotten form a very helpful cleaning lady(we love ya norms, haha)...we got everything set up...then a lil afte 11, people form SK who had stayed for the whole thing showed up and the party began, lots pf people, lots of good times, ahhh...WHAT A NIGHT....from the random, to the ultra random, to the WTF is goin on, to the best times... it was just awesome. Someone ended up drink to much and ended up actin a lil bit too much of an ass, said some shit once again he didnt understand and wanna but of course he did....and agian is SORRY for everything that happened if it caused a problem. yea, so....most of us that slept over (about 20 of us) fell asleep around 5 but ended up wakin up at 7 to clean up and shit. finished rele fast surprsingly and rinds and chris went and took the trip to bagel talk and got eveyrone bagels. MOSt of us were still fucked up even then, so some tried to go to sleep other just relxed. eveyrone left around 1030-11. I came home and passed out form fuckin 12-5....a definatly needed nap, haha...but overall, the weekend was awesome...i got to spend it with mostly all my best friends, which nothin else can ever beat....i love u all haha, hopefully we can do it agian, but maybe not to soon, hehe....until whenevr, ill give ure reading eyes break....goodnite

| I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!
wow, what an incredible day, definately the best of my life. The whole band plus gbaby(which i guess he counts also as band, but for thos eof you who dont know that, him too) came to my house early this mornin for just a good peptalk/psyche up for the big day. We loaded some eqipment into the car, ate some bagels and left by 1130 for the Stone Pony in Asbury Park. We went in 3 cars and got to the venue first at aorund 12. We unloaded and met up with elmo, the cool venue guy who was runnin our stage outside in this rele big courtyard type thing. So we spoke to him found out what the deal was and said we had gotten moved to a later time(which wa spretty cool) but to birng all our equipment to the outside backstage area. so we go outside and HOLYSHIT....the stage, o that stage. IT WAS BEASTLY...so fuckin big, and we were getting ready to play on it, WOW....
so we bring our stuff over, slowly more bands arrive, including Lovedrug(Days Away was rnnning an hr late). O yea we got our nice amps all set up my drums se tup on the side all ready to go and all of a sudden we see these bands bringin their equipment over and it just put our little babies to shame haha...they were so big. W/e we knew it didnt make much of a difference and ecided to go check out the place. Chris had arrived too and him and gbaby helped get everything worked out. So for awhile we justw atched he other bands come and unload. We were told we could set up our merch at one of the empty bars in the back of the courtyard. So we do, and set up a nice dispaly of our stuff. Days Away finally arrived and i made complete ass of myself by pretty much confessing my love to how amaazing a band they were haha, but i didnt care. Then me and kantor went to go sort out our ticket sales and stuff with Kyle, the owner dude. so we ended up makin $800 for cancer whihc was rele rele cool, and also ended up gettin $140 just for playin the show, which was nice bnous, since we didnt think we were gonna get ne money....
we went outside the venue and alreayd saw all our frined beigining to show up, which was pretty cool. Me, kantor, klov, rog, and chris ended up walkin down to the other end of boardwalk to Ho Jo's. get some shitty quality food, and chris being the crazy kid he is, asks for a corona, the guy gives it to him, with just a simple "are u 21" and chris saying..."ummm, yea". haha...and kantor ended up getting a coke, but the guy thoought he wanted rum in it so we were gettin all these drink that we didnt ask for hhaa, pretty funny. We got our food, chris got some more beer, than we walked back the venue. We got back and eveyrone was alreayd inside, and the first band had started. I walk into the courtyard and see everyone wearing our shirt,s it was pretty fuckin cool lol. Everyone just kept grabbing me in this and that direction and it bein so hot out got me all crazy and sweaty haha. So overwhelming but at the same time it felt so cool. So we waited aorund, spoke to some people and got ready for our turn on stage....
After the first 2 bands it was ifnally our turn, and it seemed like everyone in the place was there for us, and surprisingly, they were haha. It was crazy, everyone crowded in forn tof the stage while we set up the stage and just kept cheeerin. We even got a good luck form all the guys in days way whihc was rele cool, sondiering they knew how big of a first show this was. we had our share of techinical problems at the beginning but finally got everything together and we started. I started my drum beat and went rite into the first song....only problem was, i could not hear ne of the other people in my band, all i haerd was the thump form my bass drum...UH OH...NOT GOOD!, kinda got freaked out cuz it was hard for me to keep my timitng with everyone else but tried my hardest to follow along. We played pretty well, and it was awesome to see everyone getting into it. the coolest part....seing both members of lovedrug and even Days Away rele rockin out and enjoyin us. Like full on feelin our music, it was just so icnreidble. neway, we get to our last song, and i miss my cue due to thelack of sound in ym speaker, w/e we pull together...next choruses i totally cant hear them and start frekain out, which causes me to froget how the song goes, idk y, but i do, and i end up skipping awhole seoncd half, the band caught on tho to MY big mistake and made it not to noticable. IN the end(of our somewhat short set) we managed to pull together and played way better than we couldve ever imagined. Getting off stage and just havin everyone congratulate u and actually say they enjoy the music was the most increibdle feeling. we even got big comliments fomr the bigger bands which mad eus feel so....special?? haha...yea it was just amaainzg....
so after us people started ot leave....all of u who did that r reading this, smack ureselves 10 times on each cheek. How dare you not stay for Lovedrug or Days Away, WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKIN, haha. yea there was that one scremo(decently good) band form cali inbetween us and lovedrug, but u couldve stuck it out haha. neway lovedrug came on and there was barely ne one left, so all like 20 of us that were, brought some chairs rite inf ornt of the stage and waited for them to start. The played a pretty decent set but still sounded amazing. Such a good band and nice guys...rele enjoyed it. Then....ooo i love this band so much, it not even funny, DAYS AWAY....
they se tup, did a lot of teases in their little soundcheck, and thens tarted...by far the best time ive seen them, still like 20 people there so it felt like we were geting our own private show, played a few songs off the lsdep and then a bunch of new ones...all incrdible. then the song that has become the song of all songs for me....T KLEINS DECLINE....
WWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
10 minutes of pure musical greatness...simply undescribable. Just watching this band play was such a cool experience and to hear this song just added so much to my day...after them i got some days away/lovedrug merch, we packed up our shirts, gave one to the guitarist of days away to have(we just wanted to give hjim one lol) and left. the band, our fmailies, g bay, and chris all met at Franky Feds for some crazy Raegan family bonding time, hahaha...o what a night. Got to watch some of the show on chris camera and surprised to see how well everything rele did turn out.
So what i wanna say is THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU! to anyone that came to the show, supported our music, and evn bought a shirt. You dont know how memorable this day will be for all of us and its gonna be the first of many over the next yr, and who knows, maybe even longer. but yea, it meant so much to have so much fmaily and friends come, you made this day for us and we cant thank you more....gbaby, we couldnt have done half of the stuff today without ure help, whther it was loading/unloading equipment, selling our merch, or just singing along, u r our fuckin best fan, and the 5th member of the band haha, thnx so much dude, ur awesome...Dave mike and mike, what an incredible first show experience. you guys r fuckin the best band members and frinds i could ever have.

COLOMBO | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| yea so in another attempt to find somethin that can amuse me when in boredom...i decided to make my top 10 album list of all time. This is what i feel...i based some of it on how i felt the cd was made, lyrically, musically, sound, difference, etc. and just by how much i enjoy lsiteing to it, whether it somehthing i can play straight thru without ever getting tired of it or i just have fun listenin to. Some of u may agree on some things, some wont, w/e it my list not ures so i rel couldnt care...this just me makin an attempt at sharing my boredom with u all.
1. GlassJAw- Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
This may cause a lot of disagreement but this cd i think was done perfectly, considering at the time it was something different. Lyrically, Daryl is a genius and it shows in every single song, even at its harshest points, u cant help but feel the vibe from what the whole band is trying to give out. Overall, a really fuckin good cd, that i have not once, over the past 3 yrs of owning it, have gotten sick of.
2. Radiohead- OK Computer
Yea, this is a generic top 10 album, but it has every right to be. Pure genius is the only term that can describe the complexity of how amazing this band is. It was tough out of all their cds to pick a best, but this truly is. Every song has unique sound that comes across perfectly as you play the cd thru.
3. Coldplay- A Rush Of Blood To The Head
I was surprised to find this one so high on my list, but after thinking about it, it definatly desrves to be. They kno how to make the simplest things in a song sound so extraordinary and complex that it relaxes you, yet at the same time blows you away with a subtle intensity that cannot be in any way ignored.
4. Days Away - LSDEP
I kno, I kno...this is an EP but it counts. From the first time i heard this band live without having any knowledge about who they were, I knew they were amazing. This cd really helped make me decide i want to be in a band and have just as much fun as possible. Considering the best song on the cd(let alone my favorite ever) is one with absolutely no words proves that musically this band has something there that i wish i could.
5. Brand New- Deja Entendu
I'm sure all you punky/hardcore kids (if there any that actually read this) are laughing and disagreeing, but i picked this one not for the music, but just for the pure lyrical talent Jesse Lacey has. Never have words been so well put into songs than this cd. It just happens to be that in this case the music adds a necesary, yet simple, key to what Jesse is trying to portray. Whether it "emo" or w/e u wanna call it, it definatly well done and deserves to be recognized alot more.
6. Lovedrug- Pretend You're Alive
Considering I've had this cd for only such a short amount of time, and it to be as high on my list as it is, it is incredible. For those of you who dont kno this band, you SHOULD. It has a sound, that many bands who attempt at fail i feel. They no doubt will gain a certain exposure, but deserve any recognition they can get. To be such an increibdle first cd from such a young band really shows a talent many bands hope to achieve.
7. Hopesfall- The Satellite Years
I think this cd was done extremely well. It definatly gave different more complex sound to what some may think is the hardcore/emocore genre or w/e the fuck u wanna call it nowadays. I think it awesome how such incrdible music can be combined with such a hardcore element like screaming and sound so imacualte. this cd really shows this better than anything else ive heard and live it just as good.
8. The Postal Service- Give Up
Another increidbly done cd. Not much can be said about it that hasnt been said. The songs all have a cool unique sound that just really stand out from a lot of other stuff these days. One i really enjoy just listein to.
9. Every Time I Die- Hot Damn!
Now i chose this one for one reason only. Its just plain out fun to listen to. Lyrically, most of the songs are quite impressive, all having a hidden point to them somewhere. Besides that, nothing else really stands out of this typical hardcore style cd, just that whenever i lsiten to it, i enjoy it. I havnt gotten sick of listein to it over the past yr, and even tho most songs soudn the same to people, its a good change once in awhile from a lot of the other stuff i listen to.
10. The Early November- The Rooms To Cold
Again, like the last cd, i chose this one simply out of how much fun i have while listening to it. No standout musicianship or lyrics, just something i can turn on and enjoy whether happy, sad, w/e. I kno some may think this isnt a good enough answer but thats all that matters to me, and im comfortable with where it ended up.
HONORABLE MENTION:
The Fire Theft- The Fire Theft
Dave Matthews Band- Crash
Phish- Junta
Death Cab For Cutie- Transatlanticism
Saosin- Translating The Name EP
...yea so if you read all that, good job i applaud you for lasting lol. I know some of the answer may not seem "good enough" but idc what u think. Also, by like cd 6 i kinda got lazy and wanted to rush thru this so the last fewe may not make as much sense but w/e lol...
but feel free to bitch/agree with ne of what i posted, or feel free to make your own. It be cool to hear ne one elses imput on this, so go ahead...lemme kno

| ahhh, yesterday was very good day....so wed nite during my mass boredom during the holiday of rosh hashana...i decided to go coin hunting around my house. i took the big think i had in my room dumped it in a big lemoande pitcher and went to all the rooms in my house in a search for change. What i found was fuckin ridiculous. I filled the jug about 2/3 the way and we thought maybe it was about 150 dollars. so yesterday i went to the bank and went to the free coinstar thing dumped the change and low and behold how off we were....272 MOTHERFUCKIN DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all in change, it was amazing just watching that number not stop as we kept dumping more money in. SO FUCKIN GOOD RITE NOW, I NEEDED THAT MONEY, haha, im in coldstone money withdrawl.
neway, dave came over for a sad attempt at what we grosfelds call a "family dinner", and might i say, i have seen this fuckin kid every day, for the past, what is it, 24 days...STRAIGHT!, yea kinda weird, but considering we can stillufckin look at each other is pretty cool. neway we chilled for awhile, jammed, watched some music dvds. Then allie and her friend traci cam over, watched what could be the best movei ever(next to dinnie darko, of course) THE GOONIES...yea cool stuff. Got an unexpected surprise from sir karpf, was cool to see him come by. he left and then the girls left bout 1230. me and dave chilled some more, tried tos etup my N64 to play snowboard kids, but when we got it all set up, i realized i had no controllers(where they r is a complete mystery). so we kinda sat some more in boredom, went outside at like 2 and chilled out on the deck for a good hr and half just listenin to death cab/postal service...good times, real chill. went back in, ate some more food and went back to the sauna i like to call my bedroom. fell asleep around 5. woke up from the fuckin dog barkin at the cleanin ladies, kinda sucked but w/e.....tonite we havin a band practice, then out with some people i would guess, should be fun.
...ooo, i also got motherfuckin DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE tix in nyc with dave an rog....def gonna be a fuckin amazing show(THU THU, BUY A FUCKIN TICKET, YOU GOTTA GO, HAHA).
ummm....thats all i guess for now, gonna relax before raegan tears apart my room in practice haha...lata

| yea so the stories r true...i decided last nite at 140(it was actually mor like 1230) but due to some delays i didnt leave til 140 to take the LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG walk, not drive, bike, scooter, fly, swim...WALK to the brumel house on the other end of marlboro. WHY most of u r asking, i really dont kno. Maybe cuz i stay up every night til fuckin 4 if not way later doing absoultely nothin but stare at my fuckin buddy list, i decided what the hell, why not get my ass in shape and take the journey. Then you may be askin why would i do this just to go seee dave, who i had seen about 2 hrs b4. But then i realized y not do somethin fun/slighlty rebellious/and kinda freaky where in the end he'll probaly end up falling asleep right when i get there if not b4. But i idnt care, honestly, it was fun and to my surprise when i arrived at his fuckin door at 220(i kno im just as surprsied as u that was how short the walk ended up being) he was still up and food and drinks there for me, haha. And to my surprise, i wasnt that sore or tired from it, it didnt seem like i had walked as far as i did and it was actaully rele fun. So in the end i guess the walk was worth it, we ended up just chillin watchin tv for like 2 hrs then got yelled at by warren for makin to much noise at 430. Now most of u r probably thinin that is the dumbest thing ever to walk that whole way just to do what you couldve done at home(watch tv and eat food) but i guess doing it with an awesome friend like that makes it a lot more enjoyable(that sounded rele gay) but i think u know what i mean, and if u dont w/e.
SO id just like to say thnx to mike, danielle, and the one and only SNOOP-ROGGY-ROG especially, for accompanying me on the phone for the duration of my walk.
...so yea...dont kno whats goin on for tonite, seems like mike, mike, pizzo, daniele are all workin which wouldve been an awesome shift. Dont kno what im gonna do yet...so if neone got ideas call me or w/e....ill be around...

| yea...so if u wondering who jen is and y i said that, she the fuckin fake ass Jlo bitch that manages the coldstone I USED TO work at. Yep, thats rite, i am no longer a slave to the labor laws that have been broken there so many times. so for now(and until winter) most likely ill be job less...by then i plan on finding another, less demanding job, and if i dont i guess it will be back to coldstone(unless that fuckn whore as sbitch still there) just to get a few more bux....hopefully it wont come to that. i made some fuckin amazing friends out of the time i was there inclusing getting to do the scavenger hunt the other nite.
so speakin of scavenger hunt...it was fuckin awesome. I almost didnt end up doin it and had a team come pick me up last minute. So me pizo, bucher, and chris(yea the last 2 dont work there but w/e) and we fuckin went everywhere to get all the crazy items and pictures need to win, so from 730-1130 we tore across marlboro, manalpan, and freehold lookin for the shit needed and in the end, we fuckin won. since each person put in 5 bux we got a s ateam 70 total to split, but since fil(driver for karpf danielee and jackie) got pulled over and got a ticket we gave him the money. but it was still rele fun, and plan on doint that shit again.
today slept in pretty late, then met up with what could be some of the funnest kids i kno at the monmouth heights pool and considering it was my first time in a pool all fuckin summer, i enjoyed it quite alot. came home after and then went back out to gbizzle, who must be the only person i kno that can relate to music the same way i do and enjoy diverseness of different shit let alone being an amazing kid, and that too me is all i fuckin need in a friend, so gbaby....GOOOD FUCKIN TIMES!! haha
so now that im free of work, im gonna enjoy my last week of summer while i can, hit up some shows, chill with awesome friends, and get our band fuckin goin and done with shit b4 school starts, which means a long week ahead...but it will be FUN!!!
so til whenver

| Last nite went to see Wotking Title, Lovedrug, and Copeland. Pretty small show and not to big a crowd but i went with a lot of pople so it was rele fun. WOrking TItle was extremly good and have a rele cool sound, so i bought their cd, same with lovedrug. COpeland, sounded ogod, but just wasnt in the right mood for them, also the vocals sounded like shit. W/e afterwards, me mike, bucher, danieele, blake, and pizo went back to marlboro and went to buchers house. Decided to go get some midnite Wendys. Ate right outside the drive thru window on the back of joshs car...and lemme say it right now, IT WAS THE VEST MOTHERFUCKIN #6 SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH EVER TO ENTER MY MOUTH!!!! And for those of you who dont kno, i eat wendys every other, if not every day(that was my second one of the day) fat fuck, yea you can say it, but wtf who cares, its so good, and im not being fed at home so ill eat it haha. Neway after we dropped blake off, then went back to buchers. Hung out in his basement for like 2 hrs and just chilled, Rele fun time. Got dropped off at like 230, went to sleep.
Had work at 12 this morning but it was a rele fun shift so it wasnt bad. Then tonite, i went to the 92 cent show of Coheed & Cambria/My CHemical Romance....what a fun time. I had one ticket left but couldnt find neone else to go(those of you who dint miised out) so me gbaby and zuck-a-fuck went. Show was pretty fuckin packed, so the crowd was rele cool. My Chemical Romance sounded awesome, which rele made me happy considering that at Surf snd Skate they didnt sound the best. But they def proved me wrong tonite. Played pretty much all the shit i wanted to hear which was cool. Then Coheed came on and there were a shitload of cameras(at least 8) all over the venue, so i got excited, cuz that meant some kind of video was being filmed. So finally they came out and their set was awesome(might be a lil off on the order but w.e)
The Ring In Return
In Keeping Secrets...
Three Evils
Delirium Trigger
The Crowing
A Favor House Atlantic
Devil In Jersey City
Blood Red Summmer

...the show was very very fun and considering it was only 92 cents(plus the 3 bux for fuckin ticketmaster) it was def worth it. These guys r fuckin amazing live and everyone should try and go see them.
Tomrrow idk what goin on, maybe a band practice and then someone form work is havin abig party so i may check that out late tomrrow nite, who knows...til whenever

HOpefully we can do it more often...last nite went to jordans, saw a bunch of people, was rele fun and chill. I feel bad tho, i think the kid hates me and i dont kno what im doin wrong but when i try talkin to him he doesnt admit it. ahhh, w/e, ill figure something out. AFter i went back to daves, slept over, watched some tv and movies and w/e.
Today was supposed to be a practice, but things got in the way and some miscommunication went on, but w/e it cool, we'll play tomrrow nite after dinner.....speakin of the band we put up a new mp3 on our purevolume site...YESS we kno it sounds like shit but we couldnt stand just having one shitty song on, so we put another one up haha. It was recorded months ago(i think march) on my mp3, and we'll be putting up better quality stuff within the next month so ill let u kno, but def go check the song, leave a comment bout the song(not the quality please, i kno some people r too loud, and vox r low, etc).
