The main reason for my long time away: laziness. But here are plenty of excuses for all of you to laugh at, especially since I forget how to write!

Games and Such

I’m a huge fan of Guitar Hero. I remember when I first got it on Christmas and I failed "I Wanna Be Sedated" on Easy. I somehow played guitar better than Guitar Hero. I still had plenty fu

Tragically Funny Show Bloopers...

If you read one of my previous blog posts (and why haven't you?) then you'd know that I recently played a show at the Trocadero Balcony in Philly. It was pretty much the biggest and most important show of our respected careers. I'll talk about the show later. But events that occured that night reminded me of all my embarrasments on stage, including the first blunder that happened on stage. I immortalized this funny little incident in a FAQ/Walkthrough for Guitar Hero. Before I wro

A few months ago, I tried to write a full-length screenplay for a rock and roll movie of sorts. In eighth grade, I did this funny lil' thing where I'd just write out the song names of albums and they were incredibly hilarious (even though right now you probably think I'm out of my mind). Then in computer class in ninth grade, I felt saucy and started doing it again. My friend looked at the songs and one of them caught his interest, "Ted Kennedy and the Firestarters". Som

So this week's been pretty crappy. There's been some bad and some ugly, so there must be some good right? I go into school on Wednesday and my band mate comes up to me and hugs me. I'm a little confused to say the least. The other day, he told me we might be playing with Bomb the Music Industry at the Trocadero (well-known club in Philly), but it wasn't confirmed. I asked him "... did we get the show". He was all "Yes, no one told you?". I yelled no and starte

So I was told to write a blog tonight to keep the site active and what not. I have many things to write about, but tonight's a special night. Tomorrow I've got Mid-terms for my second semester of classes. I only do two classes tomorrow and on Monday, I get the last two. I'm taking a test in Algebra II and I'm gonna play kickball in Gym (play meaning go up to bat when I feel like it and then talk to people while in the field). This semester has tought me that my past bad grades

 Coffee

 Like most small children of the United States of America, I got up ridiculously early to go to school. For five days in a week in a total of nine months (excluding snow days and other ways to not go to school), I've been getting up too early for about two-thousand-four-hundred-seventy-five days. Well, as I got up and walked to the table every God forsaken morning (not a morning person) to eat a bowl of cereal, I see that my parents had turned

So, I basically made this to assure Dennis that I'm writing the reviews for the albums he gave me. I realized that I'm taking my sweet old time reviewing this stuff so I felt kind of bad.

Andy told me that I'd get some okay stuff, some great stuff, and some lame stuff. Though I haven't given everything a proper listening, I'm enjoying a lot of the albums I received. Justin Klump's Something For September EP caught my interest first. I'm glad it

So I woke up at 1:30 this morning. What I can remember from sleeping for thirteen hours is the Hulk family being involved somewhere in the mix. It was one of those sleeps where before I go to bed, I set my alarm clock to 9:30 AM and expecting to have a fulfilling day but when the alarm goes off, I turn it off and sleep longer. So I got up and ate a delicious chocolate Entenmann's donut, just one though cause I ate the whole pack yesterday. I went to the room I'm typing this blog in right now and
