Hey guys

So it's been awhile...not alot's changed, still working...still bassin'...still eatin'...so i really don't know why i'm updating...but eh, it beats christmas shopping...

I went to a Tenacious D concert in NJ last week or so...it was pretty bad-ass...took bortz with me cause he don't get out the house much and neither do i so i figured "why not?"...that and no one else would probably have gone with me...i liked it, they played alot of stuff, so much in fact that i was even suprised...they had an opening act, a comedian named neil hamburger (with a name like that you can only expect gold...) his whole schtick was that he'd tell horribly un-funny jokes and then insult the crowd when they booed him...in other words: it was pure genius...my favorite insult was "i'm sorry, i couldn't understand you with your friends cock in your mouth, why don't you stop gargling his cum, spit it out and say it again you fucking shit-stained motherfucking cocksucker"

I was in stiches...

I bought nate's drum set from him awhile ago...i'm not exactly sure when, just know it was before halloween...it's been going pretty good, i'm no black man but i think i can keep a steady beat for my talent.........and color.

The escort is still running like a fucking beast...purrs real nice-like...

Me and jen are on-and-off...i'm not sure about this anymore, somedays it's good and others i just wanna cut ties completely...weird...i never would have thought i'd argue with someone so much and so seriously just to sleep with them two hours later...odd relationship...

Oh well, i'm bushed...back to the christmas shopping....later

Git - r - Done.....

So i just got back from seeing Larry the Cable Guy over that the york fair...by far, the hardest i laughed in a long time...even though it rained...and my seat was wet...and the line was long to get in...it was one of the best times i had in awhile...two thumbs up...

So me and jen broke up...and then got back together like 24 hours later...i dunno what's gonna happen there...it's like when we're having fun it's the greatest...but the arguments are very, very trying...it's like polar opposites...i'm starting to realize that with us, there is no such thing as a small disagreement...it always blows up to something huge and unnecessary...maybe that can be fixed.......maybe not....

So i just bought some stuff that i'm pretty excited about...got the new audioslave cd...the new mastodon cd...the new slayer cd...the new lamb of god cd...the dvd silent hill...an oil change from wal-mart...a book called "the alphabet of manliness"...and most recently a git-r-done hat...all of which are very, very good things indeed...but i must say that my favorite of them all is that new mastodon cd...jesus christ is it ever good...

So my bass is broken...it took a header down my stairs at the house...i was super-dupper pissed off...one tuning peg is kinda bent, my knobs are all jacked up...and my input jack is completely busted...so much so that to get the plug out, i have to use a dentist's tooth scraper to get it out...no joke....

So my band is pretty much broken up too...john has his sights on school and work and family and such...so the rhythm section now consists of only me...i'm not mad that he chose that stuff over our band...it's his life, his choice and who am i to stand in the way...but at the same time i feel this bummed-out feeling...he was so good as a drummer, and for any bassist/drummer that's reading this (which is probably none at all) you know how hard it is to find a drummer or bassist that you really click with musically...which is what john and me did...so i don't know what's going on...damnit...just when it was getting good too...

So other than giant grand opening over at the delco plaza and the trama of steve irwin dying that's been my life for a bit...nothing fancy or nothing...in reality i'm just writing this to kill time before jen gets here...but i gotta go take a shit so i'm gonna end it now...goodnite guys

I was thinking...you know what really sucks?...when you share a common interest in music with a woman you're in a relationship with and then you break up...it ruins perfectly good songs...case in point: i can't even listen to evanescence at all anymore because of sarah...it's not like she forced me to listen to it...but everytime i hear it it makes me think of her singing to the songs and how exact it was and how great it made me feel...and then a mild form of regret comes in cause i'm with someone now, and am fully committed to her from now till she gets sick of me... but is it wrong that i can't hear "roulette" or "radio/video" by system of a down cause it makes me think of who's-it's and the good times we had?...

You know what...fuck it, i don't care...i like those songs...

Currently Listening American V: A Hundred Highways By Johnny Cash see related

Well, another year has past, another birthday gone with it...

Have i learned anything in the past year that is of real importance?....no

Have i contributed anything of importance to society in any way, shape or form?....no

Have i gained any new abilities or any extra privilages by turning 20?....no

So, my question is....why turn 20 in the first place?...

You gain nothing from it....at all...it's just like turning 19, only now instead of people saying "only two years till you're 21" it's "Oh, you're 20??...man, that sucks...so close to 21 but yet not quite there..."

But i guess i'm overreacting to it...i should be happy that i'm alive and healthy...in fact this is the fittest i've been in...well, all of my life (sad, huh?)...and i have a fulltime job with insurance out the asshole...i have folks that don't hassle me anymore, and i pretty much come and go as i please now...

And then there's jen...she's been pretty constant in her staying down here...it's almost like she's living at my house...in fact, that's probably where she'll be living at in a bit. she put in for a transfer to come down to the new lowes that's built where the delco plaza is...it should go through and then she can move down here with me till we can get a place on our own...it'll kinda be like a test to see if we can stand each other on a constant basis before  we get an apartment or what-not...we'll see what happens...she has a weird way about her, her mood switch is a bit sensitive...well, very sensitive...and that kinda bothers me but oh well...i guess i was lucky with the last two womens...they never really ever got angry with me...huh...maybe kayla wasn't so bad after all...

Oh well, jen and me should do just fine...it's a nice mix of personality and i've really gotten her to open up alot in the 5 or so months it's been...and she's even starting to talk like me...it's pretty funny...

I think that's it...i'm gonna go back to bed with the lady for awhile, take her home around noon or so, come home and listen to the new johnny cash album...because unlike the age of 20, he never lets me down...

The Dresden Dolls rock...

So, i went on tuesday to dc to see Panic! at the disco and the dresden dolls...well, just the dresden dolls...fuck panic! at the disco...who puts the exclaimation mark after the first word on a title??? gay dudes like panic! at the disco...

The original line up for goin' there was me and jen and then also my buddy/drummer john and his guest to be named later...but they (john and co.) backed out last minute...so i hustled to find two others to go...called chuck up, he was game...and gave the last ticket to a dude i work with, dustin...so, no ticket went to waste...

Left around 4:30 or so...maybe a little after...took a wrong exit on 83 (fucking mapquest), had no a/c in the car, raining like a mother-fuck and it was hot as a bitches tit...but, we made it...around 7 to be exact...just in time for the opening act "the hush" or as FYE has them named "the hush sound"...either way they were suprisingly good, in fact i picked up their cd today...listened to it and can say that they're better live, but oh well...most people are...remember, i said most...

Next was the dresden dolls...fantastic...only played about 7 songs, wished it was more but oh well...i always have the "paradise" dvd if i wanna see more...brian was in full swing and amanda's voice was crazier than on the cd's...all in all, it was more than i expected...but also less, they only played one song of their new cd (sex changes) and it was their opener...but yeah, it was great...until...

I had to wait 40 minutes for Panic! to take stage...they had like 7 band members...plus a singer...they sucked...nothing like the cd...which already isn't held in my high regards to begin with...but we left after one song...i seen who i wanted to see, and was hungry/de-hydrated/sweaty...so we said bye-bye to the screaming women and bi-curious men...and back to my car, where somebody parked about 10 inches from my car door...well, dustin's door...so he proceded to slam my door repeatedly into this other car...alot of times...very hard...i was a little upset, but then i said fuck it...that shit is funny...and we all had a good laugh

That's all for now...just wanted to share the adventure with you all...not very interesting i know, but eh...you read it anyways...i'll be back later...
