I've been doing a whole lot of nothing lately, but then again, that's usually the case anyway. The band hiatus is almost over, thank God! We'll be practicing strong starting next month and already have 3 shows for October in the works. Our 7 track EP is set to be released on Cabana 1 Records late fall. Mastered by Pop Punk legend Mass Giorgini.

My days are wasted with the usual internet searches, trinkets and whatnot. Am I the only one to be overwhelmed by all the SG's of late? I'm not complaining at all, don't get me wrong, but it's hard to try and look at every set. I kinda miss the old days with one girl every day. Ah well. And keeping up with people on here? Forgettabout it!

Besides my usual time wasting on the ol' intranet (you porn...highly recommended. you'll never go back to The Hun again!), I can be found playing Madden 2008 and watching tv on demand. I rarely leave the house besides work and sometimes lament the fact that I hardly have any "real" friends these days. Oh sure, quite a few loose associates thanks to my standing in the band and my space, but hardly anyone that wants to hang out. My fear of driving long distances alone kinda puts a damper on things as well.

I was becoming good friends with my co-worker Dawn, but now she's leaving and who knows if and when we'll hang out again. Her going back to her idiot of a boyfriend kinda restricts things too. But if she's happy, what can ya do? This is the guy who wanted a friggin' cheesesteak while we out having sushi at the Japanese restaurant. But she's young, dumb, and in love (I am name checking a Lovegutter song BTW). At least she went with me to see the Black Crowes at the Borgata in AC on the 12th. Her first real rock concert and she really dug it. But with her working at a new job and being back with said idiot, that will probably lessen any time for hanging out.

Miss Tina and Margaret are still in the picture with random visits every now and then. But no offense to them, I need some new blood if you know what I mean. I kinda even blow them off lately. Something I'm not proud of I must say. But I question my friendship with them sometimes. Have you ever been in a situation like that? Someone has all these memories of you, but you can hardly recall a thing? Shallow? Self centered? Sure, lay it on. But if you know me by now you should know I beat myself up far more than anyone else could. Sometimes I think this is my karma for never meeting anyone new. Maybe I should cut all ties off or at least make it with a strict no tomfoolery rule involved. I don't know. It is kinda hard to say no when someone's saying yes.

Martha is really going thru a tough time. One of her good friends just died from cancer after a long fight. I somewhat lifted her spirits when she called. Roz was a pisser, truely one of a kind. I had her thinking of the good times. I know mourning is a must, but try to remember the positive times. I'm used to this process by now with all the death I've been surrounded by all my life. I'm glad her and I have gotten closer over this year. The future is still uncertain of course, but our friendship is stronger than ever of late. Our long distance marriage arrangement is still working no matter how strange it seems to most.

Miss Cindy is pretty much a stranger these days. I rarely hear from her even by email of late. I guess she still feels she would keep Martha and I from getting back together even though I've explained many times that's not the case. I miss her friendship more than anything. The realization that her and I would never be together sank in last year. I still loved hearing from her with her cute accent and the friendship felt strong as ever. That just isn't the case these days.

I did meet a cool new chick thru my space, Sharon, but of course, she's married. Everytime I meet someone cool they're already taken. Rinse, lather, repeat.

My brother Mikey is down for his B-day visit. Does anyone like riding roller coasters? Thanks to my girth let alone fear, I can't go on them with him. I was pondering putting that on my space. Sissy will pay for your ticket, just ride the coaster with him. Him being autistic might throw people off though. People always fear what they don't understand.

I'm kinda stressing about work with Dawn leaving, but what can you do? Overcome and adapt. It's gonna be a rough stretch 'till things settle down. September is booked, October isn't much better. C'mon November!

That's about it. Everything is up to date if anyone even reads this. Laters!
