SHOW me what you're made of!

Playing a show with my popfuckingpunk band Second Time Around (http://www.myspace.com/secondtimearoundcle) was fucking sick. Admittedly I was nervous before going on but, I'm pretty sure we did good. Not due to the fact that most of my friends said we were good, I expect that from them, even though most are brutally honest but, the fact that random people were saying we were good, like In The Day liked us, some of the Flying Free guys said we did good, and Bobby from The Promise Hero said he really liked us (granted he was plastered). All in all I'm pretty happy with the outcome of the show and big thanks to everyone who showed up and actually reads my blog.

There will be more shows to come from us and we are working on recording.

HUGE thanks to TimLeo for the big confidence boost via text after the show.

I'M GOING TO GET BACK INTO BLOGGING.

Jury Duty Recall

So I meant to post this about a week ago because Jury Duty fucking sucked. It's basically going downtown and working an 8 hour day for $20. What bull shit is that? And on top of that the buildings you're in are pretty cold so I was forced to wear a hoodie downtown, in like 80 degree weather. So that fucking sucked too. Then the case was a lame ass business dispute between like some Canadian phone company and Magic Jack. I got to see the Magic Jack dude though, his name is not Jack. However, he was quite the crafty business man. But all in all that sucked balls.

Jury Duty is something to wish upon your enemies.

Project Figured Out

So I have had way too much time on my hands as of late. Because of this I wanted to start a project. And now I know what my project will be. I'm basically just gonna build a pretty large box, like 8'x8'x8' out of wood. I will paint it white to start with, and then whatever colors come to mind after. Basically it's going to be for spray painting because, I'm going to be like 20 and don't feel like I am even good enough to go out painting, if I'm going to go out painting, I want it to look good so it's actually a favor to the community rather than a burden. I'll most likely invite anyone who wants to paint on it over as well. I'll just take photos of each piece after it's done and before it's painted over. Keep it in mind if you read this and actually are interested and maybe want to help fund it???? I hope to start building it soon, like in the next week or so.

Ewwww sticky....

Played way too much Halo 3: ODST in the past few days with Mike Poggi. Stayed up til 7 AM, slept til 9:30 AM. Went to recording, drums are done. Slept the day away when I got home. Later went to hang with Melissa and Mark. Recently checked my sticker flickr, and by recently I mean like ten minutes ago. So I'm going to make stickers again, it's decided. That's all.

Good things come to those who wait

This phrase seems to be a whole bunch of bullshit. Good things come to those who take risks and seize their lives. They come to those who actually try to make something of themselves and have goals that they are working towards. Although the phrase nice guys finish last is not entirely true either. Yes in order to get what you want in life you have to be somewhat of a dick, however you need to learn when to be a dick. I do not believe that phrase should be nice guys finish last, it should be timid guys finish last. There is no reason you can't be nice and be successful, it happens a lot, you just need to realize when a change needs to be made. That being said every one does change, regardless if you realized it yourself or not, there is always a change, may it be for the better or for the worse. I hate judging people for what they do unless it's something serious in my eyes; i.e. serious drug addiction/problem, betrayal or crimes. This summer I'm about to make myself take risks I wouldn't normally take.

Getting the run around

So today I went running with my good friend TimLeo. I would have to say that it sucked hard because it was really cold and my lungs hurt a lot. But I can't wait to keep running, and I really hope I stick with it throughout summer so that I will be able to get my side tattooed this summer. Also he told me to check out a site called emptees.com. If you haven't checked it out, go do it, there are some really good artists. One in particular is Mike C Hardcore, or at least that's his account on emptees. That was also Tim's find. He has a clothing line, the Hotlife, so go check that out too, I plan on getting a shirt or two once I get money. On a final note, I had my interview at Pac Sun and it went pretty well, hopefully I will be hearing from them sometimes this week. Yay money! Peace for now!

"Booyah grandma!"

As my second year of college comes to a close...

I feel that it is time to reflect on myself and if I have actually gained anything as a person from this. Overall I would have to definitely say I have, I have definitely grown up a bit, and by grow up I mean that certain things that I used to find funny I now find immature. I also broke through a wall and have been playing my acoustic guitar for about the whole semester and have gotten to the point where I think I would be able to write pretty good songs with just a little more practice. This was a huge thing for me because I tend to get into something, i.e. stickers or graphic design and then stop doing it after about a month or so. However I was stumbling one day and found a site that was about the creative mind and how it tends to do that and you must be able to train yourself to stick with what you have started. I no longer have the site. But the summer is about to be very hectic and full of fun, I hope. I may get two jobs, I have some bills. I have two bands to definitely play in, and possibly some jam sessions acoustic style, possibly some other music with my good friend TimLeo. Also I plan on starting to make my own tee-shirts this summer, I don't have any intention of selling at this point in time, it's more for me than anyone else at this point, working to put stuff out that I feel people will buy is a pain, I would much rather make my own shirt for me and make it how I want it. However if you happen to see me wearing a shirt and you think it's sick, please by all means, ask me where I acquired it. I also plan on getting like three tattoos this summer which is going to a pain seeing as how I'm broke as of now. And speaking of tattoos I plan on running and actually getting my ass in shape this summer. Running with TimLeo, lifting Mike and Nick. So hopefully this summer holds shows, shirts, friends, fun, exercise, and more shows.

Boo-Yah!
