as of late, the weather has been completely horrible. and i mean retched. constantly raining, being windy, then sunny then rainy, then windy. ugh. its depressing. normally i would love this weather, but not so because i work in this at night and it is not fun what-so-ever. anyways, i don’t think its going to change until next week or so. lame

with that being said, i haven’t really been able to do much except work. nothing exciting going on my life. i tried to take some cool pictures, but they didn’t turn out to well.

so yeah. pretty lame week for me. but there is some cool news i found out. angels & airwaves has shot a video for their next single ‘secret crowds‘ which is going to be epic. not just because the song rocks, but because of the concept of the video is. anyways, i guess they are in some alley way and there are hundreds of kids, literally. and it two-stories tall and its raining. the premises behind the song is, if you had your own world and made it they you wanted. and had the power to make an empire for the person you love. kind of cool meaning if i don’t say so myself. anyways here’s a video some was able to capture. check it out!

bringing the awesome. bye bye.

well, well, well. it has been a long time since i’ve posted on this thing. sorry i guess. i just haven’t found the time to post anything. which might sound lazy, but really, i have been. lazy and stubborn. i don’t know why i haven’t posted anything. but i finally am after much speculation and other stuff. i’m just writing things that come to my head now. ha! anyways, where to begin. i last left off right before halloween. so might as well just start there…

i have no words to explain that night except that i have never seen or experienced something like in my life. so evidently i went to halloween party. it was for-told that night would be the night off all halloween parties. i didn’t think anything of it. but apparently, it was. me and luiswent up to chico, and all i can say is, wow. because i didn’t know what else to say. it was crazy. girls in barely anything. that’s what i liked. oh yea. it was pretty fun though. drunk girls are a good thing. yes. but to my surprise alot of people thought i was jesus. are you kidding me? i was a jedi. see, that’s what makes me upset about ignorant people. star wars is way to awesome. i mean i love jesus. but i was jedi. come on people. does jesus carry around a light saber? i think not. anyways, it was a fun trip but not worth the drive what so ever. kind of a one time thing so to speak. anyways there were bitches everywhere. ha!

the next weekend. complete and total raging. i can’t describe it any better than that. so i went up to san francsico to hang out with jordan at jake’shouse. there was a party and i had to go. anyways my arrival wasn’t expected the way it should have been. i came a little early. a little too early. time came, and then me, jordan, and timwent to be some alcohol and head to jake’s. me being the ass that i am, picked up a bottle of wine before hang at trader joe’s. so tim and decided we wanted nice beer and it was kinda of bring your own drinks thing too. so we got a case of fat tireand some belgium beer called stella. 8:30pm, raging officially begun. guest’s inculded: jordan, victor, ryan, tim, jake, jaynee, jamie, jimmy, derek, ciara, jamie’s sister, and some 23 year old. by 8:45 ryan was trashed i believe. guitar hero 3 was being shredded on and ryan spilt his beer on the way. he was the first one gone. the night was full of laughs and falls. hmmm. i believe that tim was the highlight of the night. do work son! i’ll haunt your dreams! at one point me and tim ran down stairs and fell. tim hit his head. and my knee split open. and it was kinda bad. the knee i had surgery on started to bleed from where the incisions were. ugh. i passed out eventually with drunk calling people. *bad mistake. and i woke up with wieners all over my body. tim had fun with a sharpie. and also the bush’s too. probably one of the most fun night’s i’ve had in a long time. while i was home laying on the couch my dad said, “is that a penis on your arm?” i looked and responded with “yes. a big vainy triumphant bastard.”

and most recently. 2 nights ago i traveled up again to san francisco to hang out with jordan and vic. and it was pretty sweet. we tried to get into the beaches, but there was a whole bunch of haz mat teams out there. so that sucked. but there was a photo mission. and walking down haight street. buying a hookah. finding robin william’s house. buying cd’s at amoeba records. smoking tour. eating italian food. and gelato. oh, and finding industrial light and magic. oh gosh. it was freakin’ sick. i was so stoked to be there. being a star wars fanatic. it was almost orgasmic to be walking around george lucas’ buildings of production. it was sick. we say the yoda statue, the darth vadar costume, and boba fett’s costume. it was just awesome to be there.

and here i am. home. its been a crazy couple of weeks. sorry for not keeping every up on everything. but its been crazy. there has also been so much too but i cant think of it.

oh. angels & airwaves finally released their sophomore album “i-empire” and it is pretty sweet. every track on the album is good, except, breathe. whatever you do. do not listen to this crappy love ballad. this intro is kinda cool. they distorted the kick drum to make it sound like a heart beat. but, that’s about it. songs to listen to: call to arms, secret crowds, and heaven. besides that, pick it up. now!

so yea. yet again sorry. im going to try and keep every up-to-date with my life, even if it’s a boring life. i’m going to do it. and you better enjoy it! ha!

in one of the very website posts, i played a band called angels & airwaves. after playing their 9 minute version of the adventure, promotion for their new album “i-empire” started happening. which is about to be released on november 1st on their website and november 6th at all retail stores. awesome. also on an later post i played the trailer for the movie “start the machine.” well just recently, the movie is set to be released in early 2008. to play the songs from i-empire and we don’t need to whisper. from angels & airwaves. who i played on the website. so when the angels and airwaves album comes out, i can put one of their NEW songs and video’s on later updates, and you can go watch them play shows with tom delonge from blink-182. a band i love. see where i’m going with this? the website has some kind of strange magical power to make music happen. i don’t know how it works, but like spongebob says “never question the power of the conch…”

also, i have a flashy new myspace page promoting myself. you can check it out here.

i didn’t forget this either. enjoy humans.

ok, yet again, i’ve been super busy lately. and i haven’t updated this in awhile. but never the less, i am here! and to talk about a few new things going on. so, lets start.

so, this week has had a few new music releases and they were all amazing. emery’s new album “i’m only a man” is awesome! i’m actually listening to it right now. me and jeremy have been listening to it like crazy, and have come to our conclusion. its good. ha! their style has changed, but that doesn’t change the band. different sounds means your growing up and doing bigger and better things. anyways, its a sweet cd and i suggest anyone who likes emery to go pick it up at your local record store and blow a load in your pants. my personal favorite on in would be ‘don’t bore us, get to the chorus.’ another new cd that dropped this week was dashboard confessional’s ”the shade of poison trees.” its pretty sweet too. i’m stoked about the album release if you couldn’t tell. also, angels and airwaves leaked a couple of songs. you could head over to my myspace page and check out one of them. they are pretty sweet!

ok, i’ve also been sick for the last couple of days, and it suck major balls. i hate feeling this way, but it happens i guess. i haven’t been sick in like 3 years and all of sudden i catch something. what the f***! anyways, it wasn’t good. at all. so now recovery is must. ugh. i hate being sick!

well if you didn’t know, or if you were hiding underneath a rock for the past month. i got an iPhone. and let me tell you how amazing it is. everything about it is awesome! apple really out-did themselves when they made this fine piece of machinery. anyways here’s some sick pics i was able to capture.
