i'm back in school and slightly frustrated. one of my classes, legal research and writing, is about as interesting as watching paint dry. our teacher, being the nice guy that he is, gave us two case briefs to write over labor day weekend. i haven't written one in a few years, so i'm kind of stressing on it. i have to summarize two supreme court...

one week to go and its back to school. i'm hoping to go back to the beach at least once before that happens.

i'm sorry i've been a bad friend on here. i haven't been keeping up with people's journals at all. the truth is, i'm on myspace a lot more than here these days. i finally put the link for that on my page...

hello..

i'm back. i went to the beach at ocean city, MD, for a couple of weeks. it was a lot of fun. good food, good times, and a lot of sun. to cap it off, i went to the annual bob marley festival in wilmington, DE last night. the headliner was a classic reggae band, israel vibration. it was a great end to a...

dawn of the dickies..

i made it out to the khyber last night to catch a set from the dickies. it was another great summer show. the band are a lot tighter than they were at last year's 'fiends of rock' tour. they really cranked out a bunch of their best songs: 'you drive me ape', 'tricia toyota', 'my pop the cop', 'banana splits', 'doggy...

i made it out to philly again last night, this time it was for the boys in GBH. they put on a great show. it was the first one on their current US tour, and they played all the classics- 'city baby attacked by rats', 'race against time', 'catch 23', 'no survivors', even 'big women' (my fave, which they never do). i was happy to...

thankfully summer is finally here. i'm hoping to head out to the beach more, and catch some good shows too.

i got to hang out with Tori last weekend again, and we had a cool time...

this thursday, june 23, my brother would have turned 25. he died six years ago in a car accident. i miss my little brother a lot. i wish that i could tell him that i love him one more time.

i hate interviews. i must've gone through fifty of them this year so far. its really hard to muster any enthusiasm at all for the process. you hear the same questions, try really hard, and know that regardless of what you say, someone else with more experience (or who has a connect) will get the job every fucking time.

i'm thinking about asking the folks...

i'm a couple of days late, but: Clover's second set is up! and it is really hot.

i was there man, before she was a cult star. i remember going to the philly SG burlesque show with her before either of us were members. glad to see her doing so well, and um, undressed.

you hil!

"but you haven't got an MP rick, you're an anarchist.."
"alright then, i shall write to the lead singer of echo and the bunnymen."

last night i drove about 100 mph after work to make it to the echo & the bunnymen show. the band put on a great show, they have a really full sound live i don't think translates well on their old...
