After 2 years of not posting anything, I figured this is worth bragging about on livejournal.
I was pretty nervous and forgot to smile. I was worried my camera wouldn't take it and he was in a hurry. The show was everything I wanted it to be and more, what an amazing night.

I love rainy days. they are my favorite.
my life is the best.
-I have so much fun with my friends. they are the best. all we do is party
-my band is writing new songs like crazy. we all have such good chemistry i think, it feels good playing with those guys. and the fact that they are my best friends helps too.
-for the first time in a year and half i have finally met a girl that i feel good about having as a girlfriend. and i couldn't be happier with that.
-my job is doing pretty good too. i basically get to work completely on my own, and get paid pretty damn good for it.
-i'm getting better at bass to i think. i'm trying to learn more about it, becuase i love more than anything to do something with music for the rest of my life.
there is an apple store at northpoint mall. which is roughly 40 minutes from my house. now i have to buy an ipod. hah.
i'm going to the rope swing with jj and cj today. then going to Jasr's and one false move show. come unless you are stupid. i'm so excited to see jasr.

i had a pretty relax night
ate pizza
listened to music
played bass
then i tried to hang this flourescent light in our garage band practice area. i've done this before its not hard to do at all. but my dad bought the cheapest fixture ever. i couldn't get it to work right. so i just start hitting it as hard as i can. it felt so good. i broke the hell out of that thing. and now it hangs broken from the ceiling. what a nice feeling to completely destroy something you can't do right. haha
btbam, glass casket and caliban are playing the masquerade july 20th, what a good show.
i can't wait to take my vacation from work. oh its going to be a amazing.
everyone come to the show on june 29th next tuesday. OUTBREAK will blow you away, they are amazing live. oh and we are playing it to. along with final expression and creations end.

If you are worried about the draft, or fear them reinstating it. read this: http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=200
and check out that site if you are interested in politics at all. its breaks down alot of the lies in the media and gives some pretty good info.
we played the show in chattnooga tuesday night. it was such a blast. thanks so much to everyone who came, that meant soo much to have you guys there.
I'm looking for a bass teacher that isn't associated with a company so i can pay him directly. if anyone can help me, i would really be thankful.
i hate living so far away from atlanta. i would be there so much more if i could, but with gas the way it is i can't afford it.

The show last night was fucking awesome. Btbam played great. is it just me or anyone else just not feeling the drummer. its not that he is not good enough, he just could be so much better i think. he has no emotion.
speaking of emotion terror blew me away. i've never been more inspired by what a band had to say. there was no fuck these people or fuck that. it was just positive, completely positive. and their new stuff is awesome. i can't wait for the new album.
i'm really excited about the show saturday. i think we just got alot better after tonights practice.
Everyone come out to this show. Its the schools out party show!

i'm sitting at home. doing nothing.
i went biking with my little bro(the one thats not a dad). qaulity time was spent. it was really nice. i felt like a little kid again when it used to just be my brothers and i, because i had no other friends.
i read some more of my book tonight. i wish i wasn't the slowest reader in the world. i might just finish it sometime next year
i need to get my family guy dvd back from cj. i'm missing it pretty bad right now.
my little brother has saved over $1000 bucks. he works evenings at kroger, making about 70 dollars a week. he is 15. i am so proud of him. i know people my age that don't have that kind of money management skills.
i want to dye my hair. for some reason.
am i the only one concerned about the growing political push for laws allowing the gov't to take your PRIVATE property and just give it to the highest bidder for development. emanant domain.
lets say your not doing anything tonight, you should call me. just a thought. i'm bored as fuck.

i got a new cellphone friday. when i bought it, it made me realize how little money i've spent in the last months. i've saved so much. so i went to the bank to pay off my car. the guy told me that i shouldn't because it will look better on my credit to keep the loan for a long period of time. then we talked for about 30 minutes about money and my future plans, he actually took interest in them, and really helped me out alot. he told me he was impressed with how i have managed my money. it was reassuring, because i never spend money. and its nice to see that i've done something with it instead of spending it so easily like my friends.
i think i'm going to buy erics drumset from him when he gets his new one. its not the best set. but i just want to learn how to play. so its a good start.
we are looking for a new employee at my work. if anyone would like to come and apply tell me. its a full-time spot. 8am-4pm monday thru friday.

Everyone come to the show tonight/Friday night. Every good band you don't know about is playing. so come support. it starts at 6pm. i would be so happy if you came by 6 to see us, but at least be there for the other bands later if not.
terror signed with trustkkill!? thats cool. i guess. i hope they don't start sucking like all the other trustkill bands. although the new album is sounding good so far.
thanks to everyone who came out tonight. i know we only drive a little over an hour to get there. but it means just as much to me when you come as it does to the touring bands. thanks

today i decided to slam my finger in a car door. it was fun. so anyways it swells up and was throbbing and i couldn't use my hand, and the only thing i'm thinking is i have a show tonight. so my boss says i have to release the pressure from under my nail and let all the blood out before it gets better. so he gives me a screw and i drill this whole in my finger and my blood pops and goes everywhere. and it hurt really bad. but i got the use of my hand back kinda and we played the show. what a happy ending
thanks to everyone who came and supported us at the show. i serioulsy appreciate that soo much. I love more than anything playing music, and it means so much to have you guys there with me.
everyone who couldn't make it, thanks for trying to come. just the fact that you wanted to be there is reassuring. especially ender. what a cool guy.
everyone come to the show tonight at mellow mushroom. a bunch of friends having a bunch of fun.
everyone come to the movies with us at 4pm in towne lake we are going to see kill bill 2, and then we are partying until the show tonight. wooooo

I've had such a good spring break thanks to everyone.
Last night we played capture the flag for about 4 hours. we got done at 4am. then we all decided to go home. i didn't get home til 545 because i live so far away.
then i slept until 2, got up and ate baked beans and mashed potatoes, and went back to sleep. until about 730. i slept way too much today but it was sooo nice just to be a bum again for a day.
i've been learning this slap bass stuff today too. slap bass is so fun, but its hard to get used to.
i got a promotion and a raise at my job this week. which makes me really happy.

This weekend was soooooo fucking good. i love my friends more than anything. i have never got to have a fun spring break because i never had enough friends, but this one made up for all the lame ones.
Bunnyfest was non-stop fun. even when everyone was having trouble it was still great because i was having trouble with my friends. even during the huge fight, when we were all getting our asses kicked by shattered realm, i was loving it, because there is no other group of people i would rather be getting my ass kicked with then those kids. even during our flat tire, i was changing it with my friends.
I disagree with anyone that says this weekend had a bad point, because for me every second of it was absolutely wonderful, becuase i was surrounded by such a great group of people. you guys are fucking amazing.

this weekend was nonstop fun. ultimate frisbee to capture the flag to staying at mikes. to band practice to partying at zacks.
i was going to sleep at zacks. everyone took all the couches and beds and covers. so i just layed down on the floor with no cover and tried to sleep. well i'm sitting there freezing my ass off trying to sleep. and jj comes and lays a cover on me. he gave up his and his girlfriends cover so i could have it. then he went and found another one for them. what a good friend. i went right to sleep after that. i don't forget things like that when people help me out. thanks
fight like a brave practice saturday went good. we got alot done. finished a new song and worked on some other stuff for the show friday. its going to be a good show. i love playing with jasr and one false move. both those bands are good guys.
i can't wait til next weekend. the show is friday. and then i think i'm going to bunnyfest with mike. because we both have to come back monday. so its going to be awesome, and its aubrey's birthday weekend so we are going to have sooo much fun down there. and the whole spring break thing.
i'm going to go practice bass until i go to sleep. hope to see everyone next weekend.

well the entire time i wasn't writing on here i was mostly playing bass and having a fun with my friends.
i finished my book. i liked it. it bascially made me feel stronger about all my current beliefs.
i stayed home tonight. i just felt like being at home tonight. i ate dinner at the table with my entire family for the first time tonight in 5 years. it was weird, i felt like i was the oldest person there. but thats my family and i love them.
the rest of the time i was playing bass. learned some cake songs.
i haven't shaved since friday. so right now i'm doing that whole half beard thing. and damn i'm really liking it. i miss having a beard. i've convinced myself that it looks good, haha. i have to shave.

-I've bought a 6500 dollar car on my own, and i'm about to pay it off completely within 6 months of buying it.
-the 850 dollar hartke bass amp i'm about to buy on my own.
-i have the best friend anyone could ask for.
-i've met a genuinely nice and sweet girl.
-people are actually liking my band.
-work gave me a 100 dollar bonus this check because i kick soo much ass.
i feel like i own the world right now.
i think i'm slowly getting better at bass. all this staying up late until my fingers are numb and bruised is finally paying off. and i'm loving it.
i'm going to sleep now. to all a goodnight!

I just woke up after a horrible nightmare. and now i can't sleep.
somehow me and eric ended up at this old warehouse. we are there for like 3 seconds then all these kids start messin with us. and then this girl starts hitting me. everyone is just yelling at us and hitting us and freaking out. then we get pissed and start yelling back and things just get really loud, and then next thing i know i hear sirens coming. and i look up and eric is gone. so one i'm freaking out because the cops are coming(i'm terrified of jail now for obvious reasons) and second i can't find my best friend. so i take off running through woods. and get back to the road. the cops are slowly chasing me and i'm running and can't seem to lose them. and then i woke up.
its not really that bad of a dream. but i'm so afriad of jail after halloween that i woke up sweating and panting, and i didn't know where i was. it was scary. also when i woke up i still didn't know where eric was so for about a minute before i realized i was awake i was freaking out over him disappearing. and right now i want to forget about it and go back to sleep. damnit
i think i'm in love with hartke. i can't stop thinking about how good it sounds. i'm buying it next week. then i probly won't leave my house for a week and just play. i pre-apologize for ignoring you then.

Today was a really good day. worked outside all day. it was sunny. beautiful. went to new blood practice. recorded the songs. good good day.
but i got really pissed off today. i was driving down the road and i'm watching this douche bag pass on curves through double lines. it made me want to take him from his car. and beat him senseless. people like him are the reason my friends die in car accidents. people who don't understand the value of life, and how lucky they are to be alive everyday. people like him deserve to have their life's taken away before they take someone who does respect life. i got so pissed off because my life has been soo good. and i could only imagine some moron like him doing something stupid and taking one of the people i love, who make my life wonderful, away from me. because i could only imagine what i would do if some idiot ever does happen to do that to someone i love.
i really wish bands would learn how to do cover songs. taking the same song and playing it just like the original and singing it the same is not a good cover. put your own twist on it. make it better. do something different to it at least. The black dahlia murder does a good job with paint it black. thats a cover.
taking it to titanic tuesday.

whats up with everyone typing an entry and then half way down saying edit and retyping the whole thing different. this you guys first time using livejournal? you guys forget how to backspace?
this weekend has been so relaxing. i've just hung out with my best friend and went to jessica's and hung out with her basically. its been so nice.
saturday night was the first new blood show. we didn't surprisingly mess up. the sound was off i think. and we play in c so that makes it sound sloppy. but it went good especially for a first show. we are going to try playing in d instead, because i love our parts but we need more clarity. oh and thanks to everyone who came out to see us, you guys are great.
i love my black eyes record, especially when i'm in a artsy mood.
i bought motley crue's shoot at the devil record tonight at goodwill. one dollar. sweet deal, and it plays great.
i really miss hanging out with aubrey. i can't wait til summer comes because we are going to make everyone rock the lake with us. me him and eric. we are going to take it to you this summer.

Tonight was soo much fun. I went out with eric, jen and jessica. and we tried to go bowling but ended up at jessicas house watching trainspotting, and eating vegan pizza. Keith and elaine came too later. we just relaxed and goofed off and had lots of fun. it was really nice to not have band practice for once on a friday night. I can't wait til keith is done with school for good.
Tomorrow New Blood is playing at swayzes. there was alot of talk about not playing the show. forget that. its suppose to be about having fun, we are taking this shit to serious i think. worrying too much about getting it perfected. we go, we play, even if we mess up a couple times. so what it was fun. you should come out its going to be a good show.
I have to stop staying up soo late every night. I just seem to find some new information on the internet every night and then i have to read about it fully. I've been so hungry for information lately. I really like it. I feel like i'm having my own little renaissance of my life.

tonight we played at swayzes. i think we played good, it just wasn't a very good show. but can't expect to much for a week night. thanks for everyone who came out. especially aubrey. he has been at almost all of our shows. he's a good friend.

Bush announced today that he is sending to congress an amendment to the constitution redefining the institution of marriage. He wants to clarify that it is a union between a man and a woman. I really disagree with the way he is going to handle the gay marriage issue.
On the other hand I disagree that kerry supports partial-birth abortion. I also disagree with him wanting to roll back the tax cuts.
tomorrow is fight like a brave's last show for awhile. you all should come out and support us. i would really appreciate it.
I'm up for anyone who wants to completely disagree with me on my views. I would really hate to get to set in my ways, because no one has the balls to speak their opinions against mine.

the show tonight was awesome. everyone seemed to really like what we played. and everyone seems to like the demo. and the other bands were good too. i thought one false move did a good job. i like watching them live, they seem like they enjoy playing alot. lots of energy. instilled played a couple of songs. which were really good. overall a good time. you missed out if you weren't there.
tomorrow is new blood pratice. i really hope sky can come.

tonight was fun stuff. had fight like a brave band practice, which went really well. we re-did all the lyrics and the way they are sung. i think its alot better now.
then, cj, keith, elaine, eric and I all went down and ate at cameli's which was great food. that place makes me want to become vegan. jessica was supposed to come, but she couldn't, which sucked.
cj seemed like he wasn't having fun all evening, that was depressing.
we are playing a house show tomorrow/saturday night in sugar hill. you should come out and support us and the other bands. its going to be a good show. and its cheap too. like 3-4 bucks.
i love orange juice.
why do drunk people feel the need to talk to me about everything. the best part is when they tell me how good of a friend i am and how much they love me. i'm just like, thats cool, you're drunk. well its nice hearing you make an ass out of yourself drunk but i'm going to bed. hah

work sucked today, not because of work but because my stomach was killing me all day. something just isn't sitting right and i feel like i'm going to die.
i'm suppose to go running with eric and maybe jessica, but i'm seeing myself having to cancel because this is getting worse by the minute. i was really looking forward to that too.
my night is taking a turn for the worse, i thought this was going to be such a good day too.
my dad just decides to ask if i want to go to marilyn for 2 weeks. i ask why, he tells me to make 2000 dollars. then says after that we would go to Louisiana for 2 weeks, i would make another 2000 working for him.
one month:4000
money i make now in a month:1200
i honestly don't think i could miss everyone for a month. i love you guys too much.
