saying goodbye is always hard , esp to a friend

colte we loved you and will miss you more than you will ever know

your smile could light up the room , you were a pleasure to be around

i will miss you dearly ,

be at peace my friend

another semester down , one A and two B's , im happy


this friday is That Was Then's last show , im going to miss that band , new additions to the
Keepitcore family Copwatch will be playing. As well as While i Breathe i Hope , it is going to be at a house , should be nuts

two more days of work then im off for 2 weeks , i need a vacation

its cold as shit out

dont you just love it on ebay when you win something and then you get it in the mail and it is a completely wrong size than what the auction said , goddammit

movies to see -- milk, slumdog millionare , the wrestler, the reader , revolutionary road , ben button , frost / nixon .

i think thats it for now

so its raining today , the rain makes me sleepy


getting to see ALPHA & OMEGA and TRASH TALK 2 nights in a row was awesome ,


Barack Obama is President , i have never supported a president more , im confident he will do a great job , the time has come and change is upon us ,

one day i hope to live in a world when the color of someones skin will not matter ,

i think this is a good foot in the doort , im glad America is catching up with the times , it only took 140 fucking years


im getting tattooed tonight , im excited

sunday is this beast of a tour , like 2 minutes from my house

finally getting some more work on my arm thursday .

i was in heaven yesterday in memphis , i got to eat at my fav vietnamese place, kung pao tofu was incredible , i broke away from my usual pineapple with tofu and tried something new , and it ruled

so last night me and the crew drove to nashville for DEATH THREAT . we ended up leaving from jonesboro at 3:30 , i could not miss my class , needless to say we were doing like 80 sometimes 85 or 90 all the way there. and we even stopped a few times. we missed the local band , but who gives a shit since hollywood is gone i do not give a shit about the local scene. we got there just in time for DEAD CITY , who as always killed , its kind of hard for bands to follow them, im not just saying that because they are great friends its the goddamn truth , after they played another shitty local band played so me and dom and bill and alysia went over to the porno store , sketchyness ensued as usual when me and bill are together . the scumbags who worked at the store kept watching us which was kinda weird but anyway . keith was in a trace looking at all the skank ass slut porn , i think he ended up buying some bella donna dvd , that bitch is crazy .

walked back to the show and watching crowns of kings , reaper records newest additon and they didnt disappoint . skarhead cover was awesome and the one life crew intro they played was awesome as well .

then at last DEATH THREAT took the stage , i have not seen this band since the summer of 2004 at posi numbers , i got to see them 4 times in 04 and it ruled fucking hard every time , and the set they did at furnace fest 2002 was just as killer , they played a good mix of old and new jams , lots of singslongs and croosh pit action ahahaha

aaron is still def one of my favorite frontmen in hardcore


good seeing lots of folks i normally do not get to see on a regular basis ,

we left nashville around 11:30 and drove straight home stopping once or twice to get gas and rest so i wouldnt fall asleep , i think i went to bed around 4 something this morning . my alarm went off at 7:10 , i am currently at work from 8-5 today . im in need of some sleep .

this fall it happens .........................

school starts back on monday , im ready to get back into the routine



some more ink next month should be exciting



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


p.s. if your reading this our paths will cross again .............. i promise

ok so this past week went by so slow i thought i was going to go insane .

tropic thunder was pretty damn funny , people really need to get the fuck over some shit that happens in this movie and take it for what it is-------- a GODDAMN MOVIE.

went to tims last night and got some good shit ,

two h.p. lovecraft books , the gulag archipelago (RIP solzhenitsyn)

citizen kane on VHS

i got to meet george singleton monday , for those who are unfamiliar with him , he is prob one of the country's most prolific comedic writers , he signed a few books i brought and he was an all around awesome guy , he asked me if we had met before and he swore up and down we had he also asked me if i was in a band ahhaahha , i guess i get that alot

modern life is war was also monday , i j7mped on some heads during the ''secret cover'' , im going to miss that band , i am glad i got to see them 10+ times , good memories

i also went to american eagle today and bought some shit , i bought some boxers with water guns on them ahahaha shit rules


i called in at work today cause i have felt like shit for a few days , i guess all this school work and going non stop is catching up with me , as soon as school is out i plan on taking a few days off and just sleeping , well maybe not , but probably going to my mom's house and staying in the pool all day .

ok i think thats it for now

united blood was awesome , great road trip , seeing old friends , an all around great time

im leaving for united blood tomorrow , i should be back on sunday

maybe ...........

got my 2 day pass today , see you in a couple of weeks richmond.

this semester is flying by , i cannot believe it is almost march

man i was looking haggard today , i had not shaved the face in a while ,

needless to say i am once again smooth

nothing really good comes out at the theatre this weekend , im sure i will see semi pro , it will be dumb im sure but who doesnt like will ferrell ? i still want to see BE KIND REWIND


my goddamn money from the school needs to hurry up and get the fuck here

that is all

do youself a favor and pick this up , lindberg and crew have made another killer record

so today i braved the crowds and went to the store , it was a mad house to say the least , i did however get to dvd's

leaving las vegas and lawrence of arabia

i had the sting in my had but i had to put it back because they only had fullscreen , i will never buy full screen EVER!!


tomorrow is friday , thank goodness

my favorite label put up a bunch of new shirts , so i might have to get some

yeah like i need any more t shirts

hahahaha


o well

ok so yesterday was really fucking long i worked 8-5 at the school then worked 6 to close at hastings , i had 3 classes this morning , when i got home i ate some lunch and went to my room to lay down needless to say around 6 i woke up , i pre ordered the new cursed record today , i cannot wait , they need to come back soon and play , i think me and some friends are going to watch the assassination of jesse james tonight ,
i wish the new disfear would hurry up and come in at work

curently listening to tragedy

THERE WILL BE BLOOD , is one of the best american films i have ever seen , daniel day lewis is a force to be reckoned with, the sheer magnitude of his performance is something to be seen , give him the oscar now

paul thomas anderson has made a new classic

this film will leave you speechless

im still kind of in shock about heath ledger , he was becoming the great actor every one knew he could be : heartbreaking and perfect performances in monsters ball , brokeback , im not there and without question im sure his work in THE DARK KNIGHT will be unforgettable

his work will remain timeless


rest in peace

oscar nominations come out tuesday ,


there will be blood
atonement
no country for old men


will get a lot , you can bet on that








i got this bad boy in the mail the other day, pre-order cover and all , #3 out of 200 , dont ask how i scored that
