It's Been Awhile....Here's A Month Recap(lets see if i can make something short haha)

Mon, 29 Nov 2004 21:31:51 GMT

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

Mutemath- Reset EP(increibdle talented band, very relaxing... http://www.purevolume.com/mutemath click and lsiten u wont regret)

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)...

Long Week = Long Entry...srry fuckers

Mon, 18 Oct 2004 05:02:57 GMT

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

A DREAM COME TRUE!!

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 04:34:02 GMT

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. We finally moved on to the next step of this crazy phase of our lives, its time to have fun, lets enjoy it...

COLOMBO

im bored....and i rele need a life

Mon, 20 Sep 2004 02:00:34 GMT

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

So yea, this summer fuckin flew by way too quickly and it kinda sux, but w.e, all good things i guess must come to an end. IT was fun to, even tho i worked a good 75 percent of it i got to become rele close with the people i worked with. So to all you guys, thnx cuz rele this summer was with you, whether it was at work or outside of it, we did some CRAZY SHIT!! (merlos party, six flags, city, fils house, scavenger hunt, fridays/wendys, concerts and all the other crap we did)haha.... it was fun

Incubus, DMB, Phish, Days Away, Mae, Dashboard COnfessional, Thrice, Head Automatica, Copeland, Guster, Ben Folds, Warped Tour, OAR, Lovedrug, Coheed & Cambria, and so much more, ahhh this summer was summer of some amazing shows, most of em with some of my best buds whcih made it awesome and next summer will def be a lot more of that, as well as the school yr(cuz when am i not at a show).

The band...had our highs and lows of the summer, some good days, some rele bad, but shit worked out, and it been almost a fuckin yr whihc is crazy, so lets keep it goin

umm, what else did i do this summer....umm...i thikn that was it, so yea pretty weak to most people, no teen tour, no camp, no crazy vaction...just a really relaxing and enjoyable time with some good people and some good music...thats all that i needed i guess, haha

the journey....

Thu, 26 Aug 2004 19:05:50 GMT

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...

FUCK OFF JEN, YOU STUPID CUNT WHORE AND GET YOUR FUCKIN ELEPHANT TITS CLOTHES THAT ACTUALLY FIT

Wed, 25 Aug 2004 06:30:12 GMT

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

Fun shows...

Sat, 21 Aug 2004 05:04:22 GMT

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
Everything Evil
Encore:
The Light And The Glass(acoustic Claudio....AMAZING!!)
Time Consumer
A Favor House Atlantic(they played it agian after the encore for the dvd they were filming)
...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).

I got tix to the 92 cent Coheed/My Chemical Romance show fri nite, and tix to Copeland on thursday nite...should be fun.

Such A Long Weekend

Mon, 09 Aug 2004 03:09:05 GMT

ahh so where to begin...all day sat i worked but was able to get a lil early, came home got picked up by kantors dad and went back to his house with dave. Chilled and wait for the return of 2 very missed people haha...Ezra was first and it was fuckin awesoem seein this kid since i havnt seen him since the last week after school. Then rog came over and it was cool seeing him considering he been in Cali for the past 6 weeks.

OAR

Neway we chilled and then left around 630 along with mikes little sister to go to PNC to see OAR. We get there and it was such a nice night out for a concert. Met up with a bunch of people and got everyone to come down to mine and rogs *th row tix, but even then we all got to move up and we ended up bein 5th row whihc was insane. Watched the openers, then OAR came on and to be honest, when im at home, i reel cant get into these guys, i think they good but they get old fast when u listen on cd. But live, they r fuckin so good, it sux i didnt kno too many of the songs but they played a few of the ones i wanted to.

Show ended bout 11 dropped of kantors sis and then went back to daves to sleepover. Hung outside for a rele long time, ate some wendys, watched some CURB on dvd. then we chilled outside some more had some rele weird convos bout some weird shit but was fun haha. Then me and mike slept in one room, dave and ez in the other. Me and kantor chilled for awhile then i passed out by 430. We all got up by 10, got ready and left for warped tour at 1045.

WARPED TOUR

Got to Raceway Park by 1130 and just ended up cuttin the whole line. Got in by 12 and saw the schdule and was really happy that alot of the bands i wanted to see didnt conflict...only 2 conlfctions Underoath/Early November and Piebald/The Bled. W/e so we walked around to the different booths and just got used to where all the 8-9 stages and shit were. The thing that sucked is that unlike other dates on the tour this yr and pretty much every yr they decieded to make the 2 main stages on opposite ends of the fuckin venue instead of right next to each other like they usally are(..see the idea is that with 2 main stages as one band is playin the other sets up and can start right away when the other finishes) but no they made it a fuckin pain in the ass and made it where u have to run from stage to stage after each band. Neway heres my itinrary of bands and events for the day and shit of what i got to see, ill try and make it short but u know me, that rarely happens haha....

So while walkin around we went to the Smartpunk Stage and saw Trophy Scars, rele cool local band, def has a lil bit of a different sound, fun way to start shit off. Dave Mike and Ez were to into them so they left me and i chilled with Gbaby, Zuckerman, and Canetta. We watched a lil more of them and then left to go wander some more booths. Saw some of Allister on the Maurice Stage but didnt feel like stayin...

at 230 we went to one of the main stages for Thursday and HOLY FUCKIN TITTY BALLS, it was intense....the crowd was insane and they played an awesome set of old and new shit. Rele fun way to start off the day, but it got so tiring, especially being in the pits out in the heat(Whihc is one of the only negatove things bout warped) and during the last song crowdsurfed my way out.

Found Dave mike and ez on the stage right behind the one thursday was on and they were waiting to see Waking Ashland. I was supposed to meet matt, canetta and dave and go run across the venue to see story of the yr, but i was just so beat from thursday and exhausted i just satyed behind and watched Waking Ashland with dave and them. They played well but idk, i used to liek these guys but they rele startin to kinda get on my nerves now.

W/e they played well, then after we walked to the main stage Thursday was on and saw Coheed and Cambria with ez and gbaby, while mike and dave waited on the side. FUn times but i fuckin broke my glasses in their pit, however me being the smart colombiuan i am, they were my spare shitty pair, so i still had my one good ones. Watched the rest of COheed partially blind but still had an amazing time and they sounded incredible so it was fun. Went out after their set and met up with dave and mike, put on my backup glasses and walked across the venue to the Maurice stage to see Motion City Soundtrack.

ON the way we saw some of New Found Glory on the other main stage, didnt wanna stay tho and watch. Got to the stage MCS was on and watched them with Mike and ez. Halfway thru i go out of the crowd to chill with dave but he just decided to leave for the day...w/e. So i went back in to mike and ez and watched MCS finish their set. Rele fun show.

After me mike and ez walked aorund lookin for food, and saw the lines were fuckin 2 hrs long, found some people, cut the line(again) and got some food. To lazy to walk back to the MAurice stage to see Piebald, we went to the bleachers by the smartpunk stage and watched The Bled play from above. They had a fucki crazy pit and if i wasnt so exhausted i wouldve went down. Watched most of thier set and then left to go get a good spot for The Early November(yea, chose them over Underoath cuz they wont be comin back for awhile and i knew underoath would be since the lead singer told me so earlier in the day).

We get to the Uproar Stage(the little stage where waking ashalnd played earlier) and see that Boys NIght Out was still, not really in the mood to watch, we go and relaz in the shade til they finished. WHen they were down we went back to the stage and waited while TEN setted up, and since they were kinda surprise band today they didnt get to play the main stage like at the beigning of the warped tour. W/e ...The area filled up REALLY fast and by the time they came on it got crazy. I had so much fun during their set and enjoyed it probably the most of the day and had mike and ez rite next to me in the pit and crowdsurfin, even pizzo, steph and heather got into it and it was just a rele rele rele rele awesome time haha. They finished and we found an empty tent so me mike and ez went in there and just lied down on the tables in there for 30 min. Walked over to go see Taking Back Sunday on the other main stage and by the time we got there they had already started, def one of the biggest audiences iver ever seen. So many people, we squeezed our way thru and got a good spot and enjoyed their set, found gbaby and all them halfway thru whihc was awesome...and TBS tonite sounded fuckin increibdle. Ive seen them i think 6 times and they usally kinda sound shiity but tonite it was perfect, Adam hit every note of every song he played and the whole band just sounded aweseom together. Too bad they couldnt play longer.

"mistakes we knew we were making"

last nite was ALOT of fun, good people, good times...and then of course i had to go and fuck shit up. I ended up doing and saying a lot of stuff i regret, but am kinda happy i got out. Yea, some of it got way to extreme and wasnt the right thing, but maybe it was supposed to be said...idk. I just wanna say sorry to the 2 people there that got the worst of it. You guys really r awesome friends and anything i said or did im sorry i put you through it. I guess what you guys did, helped prove how wrong i was for saying what i did and i guess i needed that.

What a night(s)!!

aite, so quickly...2 different show reviews for ya

Mae/Days Away/Modern Dance- so yea, a whole big posse of us went including me dave mike mike hannah bucher emily alison g baby zuck-a-fuck and g babys sis.

So we get to starland, catch Modern Dance, rele good performers, good music, cant wait to hear offical release from them.

My Hotel Year- ehh...not to good, music is nothin rele new and the try way to hard to be somethign they r not, however i do give them credit for having a lot of energy and good stage presence, they did try and get people in it.

DAYS AWAY--- INCREDIBLE

played rele well, vocals, were a lil low and the guiatr didnt work for a good half of the set, but wow they still know how to put on a show...*HIGHLIGHT(out of posssibly all my concert going experiences)* during the last song(also one of my fave songs ive ever heard by any band or any genre) they rockin out and just goin crazy, then all of a sudden, a bunch of band memeber form the other bands start comin out on stage, dancin or playin nething possible they could find lyin around. It was b/c it was the last nite for Days Away on the tour so everyone wanted to kinda say goodbye and what a way to do it. The drummers from the other bands took sticks and went over to the already incredble drummer and just started a kinda drum circle thing goin, all of them going completely insane on this one set. Everyone just ent nuts, and def one of the coolest things oiver eever seen at a show.

Mae- These guys sound rele rele good live. They played an awesoem set of all the songs i wanted to hear. The only problem was that their music is very hard to get into, dont get me wrong i think they r an incredibe band and they sound awesome live, but when no one is rele feeling it as much, its hard to rele enjoy it without getting a little bored. Still i had an awesome time, and cant wai til i (hopefully) see Days Away again next week at Krome.

..............................................

so tonite, was the Head Automatica/The Red West show. Now for those of u who dont know, HA is Daryl Palumbo(the lead singer of Glassjaw) new band. And for those of u who rele know me, know that Glassjaw is my faverite band ever. However, of course with my luck, they decided to take i guess u can say, "break" for who knows how long, leaving me with the fact knwoing i may never get a chance to see them live(cuz every other time theyve been near us b4, i either was away, no ride, or no one to go with). So, w/e the new band is definately a big change from Glassjaw, going from Melodic hardcore to dance-party pop rock. But this shit is fuckin gooooooood. So neway, me and dave trying to work out how we would get rides to the show and everything settled out after a last minute bail from someone(i still love ya haha) and in the end we ended up convincing Alex Brumel, thats right, everyoens favorite Phish lovin, jam band guy, to come to the show. So they pick me up and well...(i told g baby the review of my whole nite b4, so instead of typin it again, ill copy paste the convo)....

DriveThruDrummer: red west was rele cool, but the sound(for both bands) was just way to unbaleanced and loud(like ARR)
whitejewboy036: true...the lounge
whitejewboy036: was there a crowd
DriveThruDrummer: PACKED!!!!!
DriveThruDrummer: alright here the dizzy...
whitejewboy036: am i getting the dizzy?
DriveThruDrummer: so we get there at 9, red west goin on 915...we go and the arnt that much pople by stage, everyone chillin on the side area...so we go to stage and watch, and we were expecting rele soft/aousticy stuff(cuz that what it is on the website) but the band kinda looks emoish...neway they start and they r a lot heavier(not in a bad way screamo or nething) like days away gods and mars but a lil more(idk if that made snese)...so we watched and their music was rele coool...trippy rockish kinda like a mellower sparta, but with that intensity, again the sound sucked but im sure if it was fixed rite it wouldve been awesome...neway i bought cd to see if it either like the show or slow
DriveThruDrummer: then we stayed their while HA set up, and it was cool during the sets they had djs in the dj booth scratchin so it was rele rele rele cool
whitejewboy036: hahaha
whitejewboy036: awesome
DriveThruDrummer: .,..
whitejewboy036: am i stilll gettin the dizzy?
DriveThruDrummer: so we rele close(like 3 rows of pople) from stage...HA is rele fuckin cool, like they all wear suits and i saw the drummer which was fuckin awesome(cuz he is one of my fuckin gods) and then lightsa went out, i turn around, everyone is on the floor...so music starts, pushin starts(just to kinda open up a pit, nothin bad, but didnt think it would be like that) so i take a look at pits and they cool mix of skanking and dancing...i felt bad cuz dave and his bro both had sandal(dave ended up losin part of his toenail) neway, haha they played thru the set immaculately, exactly like the cd and shit, daryl is fuckin flamboyant as hell and defines the term"rock star frontman" even tho his voic was a little tough to hear at time...so they played most of the cd and crowd was cool, and rel rele RELE into it...alot of people knew the words and stuff, so there occasional push here and there but most of the set was pretty cool...last song comes on...CHAOS(but the cool fun chaos we like, it just wasnt expceted) so dave gets showved onto the stage(as did 20 other people) alex is just groovin liek the little hiippie he is toughin it outand just rockin out, havin fun like a crazy man, i lose dave hought he went out of the pit, cuz we were rttie there...so i go in dance a lil(the song was I shot Macy, whihc my fave, so i went nuts) go back see dave hadnt left and was upfront tryin to hold his own, but ii felt bad cuz he was in sandals, and his firstt pit experience so i went behind him and kinda helped him with shit and blocked up while he just went nuts
DriveThruDrummer: i kno i say this alot, but wow, what a show and it was something so much ifferent than alot of other stuff
whitejewboy036: awesome awesome awesome glad u had a good time
DriveThruDrummer: rele one of the best...to bad i didnt kno a lot of words but it was def top 5 performers and fun times ive had
DriveThruDrummer: yea, srry, i talk alot when im excited
whitejewboy036: haha
whitejewboy036: no problemo

so there ya go, hopefully u can understand somethin i said, but def one of the most fun times ive ever had at a show. Head Automatica just has a rele cool different sound that u cant rele hear newhere else and was so much fun to see something like this live. Very cool to get Dave in his first and hopefully not last semi pit experience. and since i wont be seeing Glassjaw anytime soon, this works and it couldnt have been better.

It's time to party, lets party...

Mon, 26 Jul 2004 06:49:00 GMT

wow....what an evening with the fuckin coldstone crew haha...so i go to work sat morn and rumor goin around that no other than jow merlo(yep thats rite) is havin a little party cuz his parents in cape may for the weekend. Sooo...what was gonna be a little party with just a few people from work...spread into a party with almost the whole staff finding out. Anyway, i go home, fall asleep(cuz i only slept 3 hrs nite b4) and wake up to find out the party def hallening and that everyone was gonna meet up after the night shift ended aorund 1130. Me and karpf deicded to go early at like 10 and help joe out with w/e and kinda chill.

People started comin who werent workin that night througout the hr and by 1130 everyone form work showed up and we had crazy amount of drinks...I mean RIDICULOUS. Ive never seen so much alcohol in my life, it was crazy. So everyone was just hangin out, slowly more people showed up, didnt get to big and no random people showed up, so it was just people form the crew, plus some random firends of people, but it was cool. Anyway the night starts pretty well, we all rele chilled out drinkin, people smokin and just havin a fun time. It was fun to finally hang out with poeple outside of the fuckin backline of coldstone. By 230 everyone was either drunk, high, or both. Me def included lol. Then my boss that had just gotten fired last week, shows up and bring a shitload of beer and opther shit, like 100 cans and bottles more. So the party was still rele chill some people had left, others were there and stayin there, haha.

so we kept partyin then out of nowhere one of our ltittle friends form work*cough cough* LIZ!!! cough cough* so after her randomly reutrning form the kid across the street, looking like she had just been raped up everyhole on her body, at least 12 times per hole, she comes back to joes house and she said she did stuff w.e and that she was no messed up, none of us believed her but w/e. So the party goes on, karpf leaves cuz he doesnt feel good, bout an hr later(bout 330), im just "chillin" on the couch when all of sudeen i hear someone threw up all over the place. So i find out who, not expecting it to be any one other than coldstones favortie, LIZ! Now joe is freakin out i feel rele bad for the kid, but im just too lazy to get up and help, so i go back on the couch, Hear that it rele worse upstair and that not only did she thrwow up on the basement stairs but from the stair up to the hallway, thru the hall, across the very large(and quite nice) merlo kitchen, down the little side steps, past the laundy room, into the bathroom. IT WAS FUCKIN GROSS!!!!! just thinkin bout it...eww. So people had to clena it up, she was passed out on the floor, in the bathroom people tryin to help her, no one rele doin much, everyone now kinda buggin out bout cleanin the fuckin house now. People each did somethin to help out wiht this massive cleanin project, than suddenly rite when we think shit cant get crazier, someone else pukes (at least this oen got it in the sink) and was just rele bad, so she got taken up to the upstairs bathroom and was helped out by someone up there while everyone else worried about dowstairs. i go back down on the ocuh, feel bad and realize maybe i should do somethin so i deicde to clena what i could of the bottles and cans all over the basement. DO my job, find out progress is being made with the cleanup of puke. Liz is still out in the bathroom people still tryin to help. By 5, everything is finally cleaned up and we try to get liz in the shower to help her sober up, get her in(clothes on, dont worry we not perverted like that) and hepl her get out of it, Gets a lil bette but still not to great, go back in basement she cleaned up, and passes out on floor.

Everyone finally mellowed out again, calm, w/e...so drink a lil more do w/e...by now (bout 530) im beat, my 3hrs of sleep the nite b4 plus my 2 hr nap b4 the aprty) had finally caught up and i was out. But by 730 we were all woken up to bring one of our other worjkers to here other job at bridgeway diner, so we all got ready helped clean up the house, some people had gone i guess while i slept and some poeple were still sick. We got jackie to work and huever was left got some breakfast. Ate our food, got dropped off at home at like 930, felt bad for the people that had to go back to the fuckin stone to work the 10-5 shift, but w/e, i came home slept all day straight from 10-6...

woke up went to work form 7-11, fun shift, pretty busy, then out to fridays(applebees closed), stayed there for like an hr and half, got home at like 130. Overall crazy weekend, ALOT more shit happened over the course of sat nite sun morn...some im just too lazy to type and others that just shouldnt be said.
