Hey strangers,

I ran my self thin last week. Getting 5 hours a night of sleep I just can't do anymore. I went to 4 concerts at 4 different venues on Thursday night. It was a very impressive journey I might add. I left on those really cheesy wrist bands from all four places to prove it.

Before this weekend, I had never shot a gun before. I don't really care for guns, not a fan of violence. I've wanted to learn how to shoot a gun just so I knew how to use it if I ever needed to, not that I plan on it. It's like the feeling of no longer fearing something but respecting it. It freaked me out to fire the gun. Check out the video below, intense.

Side note, the lady who lives upstairs who practices opera singing freaks me out. Just sounds very haunting, haha.

Hi strangers,
I just finished another painting! See below for the images along with the one I did prior.
To check out all my paintings (or at least most) check out the "My Art" pictures on my myspace page.

Wanna know what's no fun? Waiting 45 minutes in line for the only ATM in the entire Home Depot Center. Who the hell designed that place? Velvet Revolver played "Patience" which made my night and I'll always love the foo Fighters. How does Billy get away with calling his band the Smashing Pumkins when he's missing James and D'arcy?

Watching The Crow and drinking some wine.... directly out of the bottle. Who needs a glass when you're the only one drinking it?

Let me know what you think of the paintings! Anyone know how I can make them into prints people can buy?

I suck at updating my journal. I know since I don't have tits most poeple won't read my journal. I think of myself as a fun exciting person but that still doesn't add up to a female without a shirt on.

I've been stressed working at my new job. I left FOX to go to the music industry and it's just been complete madness. My brother finally came out to my mom and dad and they were completely fine. They were more upset he didn't tell them sooner. Kinda awesome they didn't care he was gay. Yay.

Been going to a lot of art exibits. This is the most underated thing in LA. Free alcohol at every event. Tonight was the best. I even got to walk away with free art and plushies. then ran down to another place on La Brea to find some amazing Djs spinning. To drop names: Peanut Butter Wold and J Rock I think. Ffree red Strip and Heineken, doughnuts and candy. Effin awesome.

Listening to Autolux and the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs from work.

I renewed my SG account just because I could keep in touch with just a handful of people I've now met on here. I'm thinking about not renweing my mebership but would I then lose their quote un quote friendship? I don't know. I have a g/f to stare at if I want to see tits so I hope they know it's not me looking at pictures of them naked.

Anyways, I hope those of you I do talk to still fine some way of saying hi to me after I leave here. Who knows, you might get free CDs out of it.

hugs and hand pounds,
Nick

Sorry I was gone kids. I needed to find money between my old and new job at Interscope. Please update me!

Got the new job at the record company, 7 days left at the current gig. and it's easier to get a job when you already have a job. good luck Brixton

I think i'm seriously 10 pounds heavier. between T day and a buffet brunch for my little itialian grandmother's birthday sunday, i need to fast. my girlfrined says i should go on a juice diet with her. for get that.

i'm going to start painting on wood and broken skate boards. i've got a meeting this week with a screen printing company to make my own screens so i can tag my own shirts.

going to the subways show tuesday night and hopefully hopefully hopfully going to theStart on thursday. i aimee echo.

until next time,

I have a third and I assume final interview with Interscope Records sometimes this week. wish me luck everyone.

Had a chill weekend running around with my brother and girlfriend. Got a 2 gig white nano as a gift from FOX and upgraded it to a black 4 gig nano. Yiippeee.

any one heard good or bad things about Spotlight Tattoo?

So I promised I'd put up the pictures I've been painting. Enjoy. And please give *constructive" critisism. Of c ourse the colors look better when in person.

Kubrick. Such an interesting specimen in movie making and also the way we can look at society in general. There's definitely a road I could go down with that first comment but this is SG, not psyc class.

I'm watching 2001: Space Odyssey right now. His "futuristic" airport has little room where you can insert a card and make long distant telephone calls and watch them on TV! What a crazy idea!!! Being able to watch someone while you talk to them, insane!

I wish I was on drugs watching this. Incredible. Makes me want to watch Clockwork all over again. The first half of Full Metal Jacket is extremely funny, while the second half is extremely depressing. Never saw Eyes Wide Shut. Ever see that trailer some guy made up where the shinning was the feel good hit of the sunmer? Find it and watch it!

Damn it's only Tuesday. Waiting back for a call after an interview is more nerve racking, but not as bad when I currently have a good job. Can't complain other than we finished off the handle of Jack last night and had to switch to tequila.

1 tequila, two tequila, three tequila.... MORE!
