So I finally gave in a bought an ipad2, I now have the means to check my sg. Ahhhh. It's been so long I've missed all of you... I'm not sure how to use this thing fully but were getting there. I also lost all my photos, and videos off my laptop when it crashed, also all my contacts when some asshole stole my phone(long story short) Huge bummer.
Anyway how you guys? We're the holidays good to you guys? I know I always feel lonely on new years cause its a reminder at midnight that I'm STILL single. Lol. I wish I could post some photos but I can't figure out how.. Lol. I'll learn.

Hope to see and hear from you guys soon! Cheers

sorry for the lack of posts, comments, and chats... ive been on the road for over a month.. i cant wait to get home thats for sure!! i lost my phone, broke my laptop, all in a matter of a week... really sucks... so when i get home first things first new phone!!! then new laptop, and an ipad2!!! yay

more updates soon love all
cheers

ahhhhhhhh ok so i finally did this huge long update... and my dumbass clicked on something and wooooshhh its gone.... dammit..

so here goes again.. it wont nearly be as awesome but im gonna try to stick to it...

so this guy was been spending wayyyy to much money... and altho i go to shows and such for free a good majority of the time... there is never free alcohol.. lol

so first it was summercamp music festival..


i had alot of fun... but if it wasnt for the 30 friends i went with it would have been a drag... people were not very nice like at most music fests... esp the hippie ones it felt like a mother fuckin free for all.. haha
the crowd was strange to say the least.. there were so many.. way to young kids... doing wayyyy to many drugs... for instance and i quote "dude i took 5 rolls and i cant see anything" followed by his dumbass friend "awesome man i only took 4" jeeeeeezus whats wrong with these peeps..

anyway... i love camping and music but i also like to stay decently clean... it rained alot and was suuper muddy....

now thats not my foot but ill tell you mud and dc's do not get along... but i saw people doing this...



not my cup of tea... i guess... hippies!!!

after that i had to get back into the groove of things.. and prior to this i had finally met a cute girl... but as always the timing was wayyy off... she has decided to move to LA.. in pursuit of her career, which im not fond of but.. i was damn willing to give it a try... anyway... im not really sure what to do... she wants me to drive her and her ever so cute pups out to LA.. from here in chicago.. but id have to come back all by myself... and probably feeling defeated... but i gotta look at the bright side.. it gave me hope that i CAN meet someone that awesome... i just hope its not in another 4 years... lol... i guess i just gotta keep putting myself out there.. i really dont have anything to loose at this point...

annnnyway so i got back into the groove of things and then wham it was my mother fuckin 25th bday... and actually the first one in 4 years that ive been home for... ive spent my bday, christmas, and thanksgiving on tour.. which sounds awesome but can be really hard at times... but i got to spend it with my friends for once!!!!!

a few days after that we went to see Orchard Lounge and Dumpstaphunk at a club called the mid... where the price of water and beer, are like gas... always going up.... lol

OL


DUMP



good show even tho i burned up my wallet... lol

and then theres now... ive decided last minute to go to electric forest, or formally known as Rothbury.... im really excited to go see that sweet sweet bugless woods.... hahaa
thats 4 days long then i come home for a day and leave for camp bisco in new york.. also very excited...
but i feel very partied out, and altho this is my last summer to party before i have to go back to work for the rest of my life, it kinda seems exhausting , im just trying to get the most out of what time i have left.. i guess...



the only thing that would make my life better, and me ever so happy is a significant other, to spend/share the experience with...

now i leave you with this!!!

ride or die!!!!

ohh man what an awesome weekend.... Summer camp was a blast... partied with all of my amazing friends... got soaking wet, and hella muddy... but its all good.. mimosa's day set blew my mind.... and bassnectar played my favorite song... "pink elephants".... now i cant wait for camp bisco in a couple of weeks.... new york here we come!!!

pics of festivities comming soon..

cheers!

Well its snowboarding season... has been for a little while...

During the winter months instead of hibernating, i spend a very good majority of my time boarding.. I do go to colorado and places like that but lately moneys tight, so i gotta keep it real... soooo wilmot, alpine, devils head, tyrol basin, cascade... are all the places i visit.. if any of you ever want to join me... you should... if you dont know how to board or ski.. ill teach you... and i swear im a good teacher....
the bad news of all this... is that im pretty sure i have a broken wrist... and you might be thinking youd know if you had a broken wrist... well ill prove you wrong.. haha.. i fractured my skull once drove home 5 hrs.. then when to SLEEP haha.. whoops.. grew some weird bump on my head.. doctor says it was the NATURAL healing process... ahha... another time.. broke my wrist.. (same wrist mind you) in 2 places.. again drove home 4 hrs went to the hospital cause it kinda hurt... but i could still move it.. sure enough destroyed.. haha.. so the point is.. my wrist hurts, and my fingers lock up quite often... but im not sure i have medical insurance right now... soooo its just gonna have to wait..


question of the day... goofy or regular!!!

sooo whats up with all you???

SOOO... its been awhile since ive written anything! so a little catch up is in order.

my Christmas was good.. i always spend it with my friends family... they made a delicious dinner... and the eve and day were spent with good cheer... except when i left i went to another friends house cause he was having a few people over.. so its like 2 in the morning when i finally show up.. and people are just fighting... i mean common people its freakin christmas... so that was totally lame.

my new years started a day ahead of time... on that thursday... i spent 2 nights at pretty lights in chicago... second year in a row.... it was really ill... derick threw down hard both nights... and since my friend is such good friends with derick, we got sweet vip everything... free beer, free water... ya know the works.. BALLER!!! haha.. we also got a dope balcony spot, where it wasnt crowded in the slightest... too bad i didnt know more people there to share that experience with... i could have brought like 10 people with my sweet pass.. haha.. o well... on the downside i didnt get a new years kiss for the 4th year in a row... its always kinda sad... but hey you cant win everything.. haha.. we had a limo both nights.. so much easier then a cab.. haha i saw some guy holding out a hundred dollar bill trying to get a cab, and still couldnt... ouch..

in other news.. im debating if i want to continue to tour manage... tour has taken its toll on me... i donno how but i promise you it has... lol.. so in the mean time... im looking for a temp job, at least for the time being...

now its picture time... yay...

Things have been super hectic lately. I packed really last minute for tour. Like the night before to be exact. But hey i got it done, right? I left the day after halloween, the airport in chicago was surprisingly busy, and when i arrived in cali, my luggage was missing I put in a report, and they delivered it to me in a timely fashion. Thankfully.

So we finally get on the road to start tour.. the first show was in oakland california. nobody showed cause there were riots literally down the street. So that sucked. our second show went alot smoother. But the third show, one of the guys from the other band was complaining about stomach pains, they took him to the hospital, possibly appendicitis. so hopefully hell be alright. Were canceling our next show due to lack of promotion, a sick member, and a nice day off. Some good news.. we got some new merch, 2 new designs and a hoodie, im excited to put those out there. They are only available at shows. So youve gotta come out to get them. If your interested in comming out to one.. PM me and ill get you in fo free. LOL. Here they are....

In other news, im still single, and im not gonna lie, ive been putting myself out there, ive really been trying. Maybe too hard. Ive been trying to meet new peeps, pretty much anyway i can. Im usually pretty shy, but im trying to live outside my comfort zone. Thats how hard ive been trying. But i think im kinda giving up, it seems that anytime i try, i get nothing, and even when im not trying, i still seem to get nothing. hahaha i donno i guess you could say im a hopeless romantic. but hey, i cant stand to meet people at say a bar, or something similar. Just isnt my style.

Im gonna post some pictures that i took straight from my phone. They turned out really good. I like to take pictures of scenery, guess im a hippy at heart. Im also gonna post Halloween pictures, and even a few randoms. Hope you enjoy.
