Tour, back seat 5, heartache

So I've been too busy to do much on here for the last few weeks. I am currently in Houston Texas laying in a very comfortable bed. The past few days have been very nice with a pool, bbq, movies, sleep, showers and a good show. However, it all ends tomorrow as we move on with the rest of tour.

I really want to be home, I enjoy being on the road for a week or two, but after that... no thanks. I miss doing the things i used to do during the summer, like stay out late, go to the beach, go on walks, have campfires, go swimming, cause trouble and hang out with my girlfriend. With that being said, i miss being home, i miss my girlfriend, my bed, my friends, my family and my cat. 19 days left...

Also, i wouldnt mind starting up some new bands... sometimes new things in your life are for the better.

Laying in a bed with dean is cool and all but i'd much rather have Tay next to me! shes a sleepy head and is asleep. oh well.

Thats all for now... I'll be in Cali soon so thats a short term goal to look forward to i guess.

PS: i want to be in outrage.

Friends, Music, and Everything else

Soooo it's been a few weeks.

I have a new member in my family...

JCM 2000 DSL... oh how i love you



It feels good to finally have good equipment. I can't wait to play shows with it.

The weather is nice now and I've been hanging out with some of my best friends, playing music, and having cookouts/campfires with them. I'm lucky to have such great friends.


In other news, I went to Saves the Day and Alkaline Trio last night with Tay and met up with a bunch of awesome people! it was a lot of fun.


My favorite band at the moment:

Life as of late...

So life has been pretty good. I got all A's and B's on my report card, have been working, have been playing shows, seeing friends and hanging out with the girl.
The weather is getting warmer and the days, longer. I'm excited for nice weather all the time and waking up to birds chirping and having my window open all night.

I just found a JCM 2000 guitar head and traveling case for $700. All new tubes and in good condition. I'm going to take a ride up and check it out and hopefully talk the guy down 100 bucks and buy it. I'll feel accomplished once i finally get some better equipment.

Next week my parents are going away all week and I'll have the house to myself! I want to have a BBQ with friends and hang out. I also don't have school all week because of April vacation so that's awesome as well!

Other than that, not much is going on. Tour is coming faster than I imagined it and I have a strange feeling towards it. One side of me is really excited and the other is kind of bumming out. It's good because I'll be with friends. It's bad because I wont be with one of them and she'll be back home and I'll wish we were at the beach and getting seafood together, or going for walks to clam haven and getting ice cream, or walking around Newbury St. looking at all the things we wish we had.. but i guess there will still be time for that. Hopefully i make it up to her when i get back<3

That's all folks.

Things to look forward to in the months ahead

I'm looking forward to walking around Boston, eating outside, getting ice cream and drinking ice coffee.

skateboarding. whats better than a skateboarding bulldog? I'm not sure, but since the weather is getting warmer, i look forward to skating more.

Touring. I am excited to tour and see places i haven't seen yet. Especially Europe. It should be fun playing shows with friends and traveling around. I'm bummed i'll be gone for a while but i know when i get home i'll still be able to get hugs and kisses from the girl :o)<3
Finally,seafood.I can not wait to grab some fresh seafood after spending the day at the beach with my girlfriend and friends. Yummy. Summer get here soon!

Weekend

This past week has not been the best. Monday started off alright and I went to Converge, Hope Con, Rise and fall show. Tuesday and Wednesday i had work and today i have to write a 4 page research paper due tomorrow. I want this week to end and i want to relax all weekend!

In other news, The Effort has been writing new songs, making new plans and talking to a few labels. I'm excited to see what's in store for the future.

I miss Tay, this is the first time i've gone more than 6 days without seeing her since tour! Pretty sad, but it sucks :o( i get to see her saturday though and we have a coffee date so thats good.

other than that, not to much is going on. Free Maintain show tomorrow in Lowell, and Db4d, Hammer Bros, and the Carrier are playing at anchors up, so try to make it to one of those. Other than that there is a free show APRIL 11TH at URI with The Effort, Outrage, Maintain, Late Nite Wars, All Star Me and Roadrage so check that out. ITS FREE! and i'll give rides!

thats all.

take care.

Show and Friends

Last night I went to go see, Have Heart, Polar Bear Club and Late Nite Wars. The show was awesome and i saw all my friends i haven't seen in a while so that made me happy! Polar Bear Club was one of the tightest bands i have seen live in a longggg time. The whole show was awesome and i had a lot of fun with good people. I came to realize that you don't have to hang out with yours friends all the time to keep them. I have some of the best friends in the world and even if i havent seen them for a year they would still be the same and be there for me. So thank you for that!

woot! off to work... wamp wamp wamppppp

Long days

So the last few days have been really nice, warm weather and sunny. I got my hair cut real short but i like it a ton! Tay did a really good job on it! I had work today and my day was very long, boring and tiring. Friday I'm going to a show and friday and saturday i'll be house sitting with Tay. Thats about it really, more of the same but im not complaining. Things are going pretty good.

Where is the warmth?

I can't stand the cold weather anymore. My days and mood would be much better if the days were warmer. I want ice cream, slush, beach food, seafood, walks, boston, late nights, fires, newburyport, and everything else that comes with summer!

i get paid today.

Do work

So, it's been a few days. Not much has happend. I've had work everyday and it's been cold and snowy. Today isn't bad and the weather is nice. I can't wait until it gets warm out! Tay bought be the 3rd and final season of Rob and Big on dvd and that made my week! She's the best! Other than that, not much has happend. My band is doing pretty well and we'll be writing new stuff soon and touring. bloop

Warm Weather and Summer

I'm getting sick of the cold and want the warm weather to come. Today was nice and got me excited for spring, until i heard it is going to snow this weekend. I just want to go to the beach, eat sea food, light fireworks, stay out late, walk around, get ice cream, skateboard, and hang out. I want summer!

I've been thinking a little about places i might want to live for a year or 2. California came to my mind. I think i would enjoy living around LA or San Diego for a year or two. Who knows..

I got more hours at work, so that's good i guess, if it means i'll have more money. One thing checked of my wish list! Rob and Big seasons on dvd.


blah. thats about all for now.

Wish list

Over the last few weeks I started skating again and i'm loving it! Why did I ever stop?

anyways, today has been very boring. I applied to MCC as a back up school if i dont get into Umass Lowell. I cleaned my room (kind of) and opened a savings account with 7% interest so thats cool. For the last 3 hours I have been watching tv and laying on my couch eating. Fridays are boring because i usually wait for Tay to get out of work at 8, but after that they're usually fun.

In other news i am obsessed with the T.V show Rob&Big...

I also came up with a wish list.

+ Ikea shelves for my clothes and shit
+ Hamper
+ Mac Book
+ Skateboard
+ Bulldog puppy
+ xbox 360 w/skate, cod5, and other games
+ shoes (both skate and dress)
+ Jcm 900, 2000 or 800
+ Cable for the tv in my room
+ Rob&Big seasons 1, 2 and 3
+ Other random dvd's that i want
+ Drum set
+ New clothes (burberry polo's, new T shirts, jeans, etc.)

thats it for now.... i have a lot of saving to do....

Fried Ice Cream, Burgers and $$

So, it's been a few days since I've updated.

- Thursday- Tay and I went out to eat at Panera and then drove to Margareta's in Manchester to get fried ice cream. Fried ice cream is one of the best things in the world.

- Friday- I sat around for a little while watching t.v and then went to the mall and Barnes and Noble with Tay and got some coffee and read magazines. After that, we went to her house and watched Cky dvd's. Overall a good night.

- Saturday- I had work from 11-4 and then took Tay out for valentines day. We went to Mr. Bartley's Burgers in Harvard Sq. Let me just say... this was the best burger I have ever had. After that we walked around Harvard Sq. Got some coffee at Pete's Coffee and went home to relax and sleep.

- Sunday- Woke up made omlets and went to work from 2-7. After that I came home, won $50 on a scratch ticket and got a Buffalo Chicken Dinner from the place down the street and watched tv on my couch. It was a pretty damn good night.

Blink 182

So last night Blink 182 announced that they are back together! This made my day. This band has been my favorite band since 2nd grade and will continue to be my favorite band as long as i'm alive. While Blink got back together, Verse called it quits. I'll miss verse a lot and i'm bummed they wont be around longer, but having blink 182 back put a smile on my face.

Also, i am no longer sick so that is a good thing. I'm going to the gym to get my gains up and then grabbing coffee with Tay! Today is a good day.

Goodbye Express, Hello Market Basket

So I have just about had it with my job at Express. Not only do their clothes suck, the people i work with suck even more. Actually, everything about that place sucks. I have the flu and all they said was " not my fault get someone to cover your shift then." Im applying to Market Basket so i can make money instead of working one 4 hour shift at Express. I never thought i would be excited about working at market basket.


In other news, Tay came to visit me last night and gave me a bunch of cool get well treats! It made my day a little better however i'm still sick and hate every second of it.

Day 3 and counting..

Why am I still sick? I've slept and ate soup and sat on my ass all day. I did'nt go to school today and slept in. My head is killing me and my sinuses fucking kill. I still have the chills and sweats and it's driving me crazy. Today i will sit on my couch, watch movies, tv shows and eat grilled cheese. If i'm still sick by tomorrow, I'd rather smash my head into a wall!


blah!

Sick-O...

Well, I am sick. It started Sunday night at the show ( which was fun, however i felt like shit the whole time) and has continued through today. I have a 103 temp. right now and get the sweats/chills off and on. I left school early, and came home and had some chicken soup. Hopefully I'll feel better by tomorrow. Last night i went to my girlfriends and felt fine (she cured my illness) until i got home and immediately felt like shit again. Today is the worst of the 3 days. I guess all i have to do now is be lazy and relax.

First posts always suck

I'm not sure why i made one of these but i figured it could be kind of cool.
First posts always suck. That being said,I have a show tonight at the Dover Brick house.Hammer Bros, Watchfire, The Bonus Army, Think Again, the Nasty and The Effort are all playing. it should be alright. If you read this, go. Who cares about the Superbowl anyways?

my head is pounding.
