It sucks that you can watch 162 games over a 6 month period and then all of a sudden, in 3 days its over.

My journal is going to be friends only from now on, (I guess it kind of has been for a while) so add me and I'll probably add you back if you dont suck.

I love hearing music that makes me totally think someone else has felt what I am feeling right now.

Your still pumping through my veins...

And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar...

Home for a week before full US tour with Set Your Goals, Warped Tour, and Gorilla Biscuits. Set Your Goals should be amazing because I totally love that band and the tour is going to California. Warped Tour should be awesome but I'm expecting to be sweaty when we check in early in the morning. I never thought I would ever share the stage with GB but this summer it is going to happen and it is going to in a foreign country...

This week is going to be crazy because two of my best friends are getting married. Woooo. I cant wait. At least for the week I am home, I will be busy so I dont drive myself crazy.

Turning point of my life, for better or for worse...

I love waking up to you every morning.

Wed, 01 Mar 2006 15:19:37 GMT

Right now I am so psyched to be in a band. I heard some mixes last night and I got so excited. I cant wait for this record to get out there and just see what happens. I think the songs are awesome, the production is amazing and I'm curious how people will take to it this summer. We have some BIG tour plans this summer. It will be announced when it becomes more definite and not so speculative. I dont know who reads this thing....sheeeeesh.

I have to wear this dumb thing on my wrist now because I think I have carpal tunnel or some shit. It looks really goofy so I "forget" to wear it alot. I think it just hurts alot because its been so cold outside so once it warms up it will be smooth sailing.

I cant wait for summer and warm weather. I am so over this winter bull shit although playing in the snow is pretty amazing.

Wed, 08 Feb 2006 15:56:38 GMT

Sooo psyched...

Tue, 31 Jan 2006 14:31:14 GMT

She looks amazing.

Wed, 25 Jan 2006 16:11:30 GMT

Stressed the fuck out.....

I need a vacation.

Tue, 17 Jan 2006 15:17:22 GMT

Today I start getting guitar sounds and doing guitar tracks! I am psyched but nervous at the same time.

It was awesome yesterday to finally have a day off after over a week straight of 10 hour days in the studio. I got to spend the majority of the day with my beautiful babyyyyyyyyy.

when im with you i feel like i could die and it would be alright

Tue, 03 Jan 2006 15:13:46 GMT

The last couple weeks have been pretty hectic but everything has been awesome. I have been super busy helping Jackie move into her new place and trying to finish up the record. We start pre pro in 2 days and still need to try to finish up at least 2 songs. Ah I am so psyched to finally have a record that documents what I have done musically for the last 2 years.

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 00:40:18 GMT

Tour was awesome. I saw loads of fun people and had an amazing time hanging out with MLIW, WH, MPB, and TIH. Being home is good though minus working 10 hour days.

It feels so good to get warm in bed with someone you care about. I'm in love and couldnt be happier about it.

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 07:12:27 GMT

Fuck being sick and not being able to sleep.

Mon, 21 Nov 2005 06:57:33 GMT

This weekend was awesome.

Friday - I got out of work so we could practice all day and finish up a new song. Afterwards we all went to try to see Harry Potter but it was sold out so they all went later I think while I spent the evening driving up to Poughkeepsie and staying in a hotel.

Saturday - We had to be at the show at 10 because they wanted all the bands loaded in early and everything set up. Our set was awesome and we definitly set it off. I enjoyed watching With Honor, 100 Demons, Walls Of Jericho, Shai Hulud, and Converge. I am bummed I missed Modern Life Is War and Zombie Apocolypse.

Sunday - I woke up at Jackies pretty late but once we woke up she found out she had to go up to MA to take pictures for the new Johnny Cupcakes catalog. So I spent most of my day in the car or watching her getting her picture taken. She is dreamy. Her pictures look awesome and I got a ton of free shit.
