Went up there with 3 of my buddies, one being Lazerninja. Ran into Fire up there but only for like five minutes. Fun was had,...

So I just saw the Buzzcocks tonight, and well....They ruled. And I don't mean "ah those old men were pretty good, they held it together for a whole set" No. They fucking shredded, tore the goddamn roof off of the place for an hour an a half.

Avoiding sleep (because I'm dumb) so I guess it's blog time.

Well first off I'm the biggest idiot ever because recently I turned down the change to take 3rd shift at my job. It would have been 10pm to 8 am, Thurs-Sun. The days were shit but the hours were great, higher pay, way less work and I'd get to not see people I hate...

Trip to Salem, MA 2009

After several failed attempts at sleep throughout the day Wednesday we finally rolled out about 3 am and drove through the night to our first stop, the Lizzie Borden house in Fall River, MA.

However free booze is free booze and the last wedding I went to was cool only because as I pulled into the drive way of the church Judas Priest's "Deal With The Devil" came on my zune, it was a great moment.
