A weekend of matzah and gefilte fish and awkward family banter = Passover. Somehow the conversation is always about diseases or Nazis. Oh and they told me I was not leaving their house until I played piano for them, and would i please play billy joel... i obliged them with some Elvis instead.

I went to DisneyWorld yesterday. I was in Florida visiting my bro for his birthday and he really loves Disney so we went. I hadn't been there since i was a kid. Man has it lost its magic since i was 8. There were cobwebs on the Small World ride, and Space Mountain's 1980 vision of the future is really hysterical. Splash Mountain is still...

Thanks a lot.
I saw Hank 3 live in portland, one of the best shows ever. If you get a chance to ever see him live, do it.

busy summer, recording our album is taking a long time but it should be done by september. Otherwise, playing raquetball, going to mexican movies, shining my stars.

today we played country at a restaurant in brooklyn for 4 hrs and ate shrimp there. Last night i went to my first Yankees game . this week is "recital week" at the dance studio where i play piano, which means lots of 4 yr olds in tutus being butterflies and shit. this is my life now.

butterflies are cool
I was a PA for the WB at Madison Square Garden the past coupla days. I got to see lots of very mildly famous tv stars like steve harvey, jeff foxworthy, amanda bynes, treat williams, etc.. I missed meeting Lenny Kravitz though. He was being quite the diva. It was pretty funny to watch all these sorta celebrities with all their hangers-on around them like...

So apparrently I had something like Scarlet Fever last week, which is like strep throat with red spots all over you. I looked pink and they took some skin from my neck and put some stiches that look like i got a heinous hickey.

i used to have a friend who told me he hated the beatles. after george died, they did the whole tribute thing on Q104.3 and every 2 seconds "this is the beatles???? i love this song."
I added pics of me from december, recording some stuff in our house. it's weird to do vocals while someone's taking your picture.
i didn't do anything today. only left the house to buy orange juice. and i only taught one 1-hr. lesson. shit i think i'm starting to get stir crazy. i just started cleaning the whole apartment, scrubbing the floors and everything. that's...
