[Tuesday, June 13th, 2006 @ 4:25pm] |
is taking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I was supposed to move to Canada July 1 but the band has decided to move to California instead. One of the guitar players quit so now i'm back at playing guitar and singing at the same time. Maybe i'm a little happier about that. I just need to find a way to come up with some money to buy some equipment. I sold everything i had when Best Interest broke up. The label won't help because Morning Call hasn't done a damn thing in over a year. Makes sense i guess. Once the EP is finished and approved and ready to record, we'll start recieving funds but the initial investment is kicking my ass and remains about the only thing on my mind. I can't get a job either...whos going to hire me for 18 days? And if i did get hired i wouldnt get paid in time or nearly enough so jeffy is fucked right now yay!
Other than that, summer has been amazing so far...DUH! Enjoying what's left of mine here at home...

[Thursday, April 27th, 2006 @ 4:14am] |
I think it's been FOREVER and a day since i've bothered to write in this thing...i'm not sure if anyone even reads/uses livejournal anymore...anyone???
anyways...so much has happened. Since the last time i posted anything...such as...
A Cutthroat Kiss Broke up - maybe that happened before? I never made a post about it though. Amazing guys and some of the BEST times of my life. Thank you for everything.
The Magic Stick boys all finally got busted. After all the things we've done, we got caught for throwing lemons at a house...a judges house haha. Richie dropped his cell phone outside of the house and when the judge called the police they found the phone and busted us. We didnt know it was a judges house but I guess after everything we've done, i'm glad we got caught for that and nothing else. 1 year probation, a $1000 fine, got booked for a day (shitty). Learned our lessons...The best part of it all is when Richie said (FUck Bush!! S M A S H)
Best Interest Broke up - 7 years and it came to an end. I guess everything happens for a reason. Also some of the BEST times of my life...id rather not talk about this situation. fuck it right? "i searched the earth for the worst ways to let you down because you don't deserve shit" -transit studio
My guitars got stolen - You could steal my car, but don't ever touch my guitars. I swore to myself that if i ever saw you on stage with my guitars i was going to put a glass bottle to your face to scar you the way that you did to me. Then i'd take my guitar and break it on your body. I hate liars and thieves. I worked my ASS off for them you worthless piece of shit. I never thought id say this to anyone and mean it....but I hope you drop the fuck dead you fucking waste of sperm. I will NEVER forget the feeling of when i went to grab my guitars and NOTHING was there. That was THE worst feeling in the world. Thank you.
I got sad
Did some studio work with Virgin Records and various artists...played a HUGE show and walked away from it all. I didn't want to do it. It wasn't my place...
I quit blockbuster (ha!) - I moved to California and pretty much worked at blockbuster as everyone knows since i was about 15 or 16 years old! Thanks for all the visits and hanging out late nights in the parking lot when I got off. I'm glad i grew up the way that i did. Playing shows and chilling and blockbuster with the gang hahaha. Oh man hahahaha. It was pretty cool...but i guess so much change was happening i might as well change more haha.
I got pretty sad hahaha (not because of blockbuster lol, because of everything!)
I got a new car - yes again. i LOVE cars...
I got more sad
I started working as a sound engineer at a studio - met so many cool people/bands and learned a lot about music and whats being put out there right now but reality is...id rather be playing and not working behind the scenes..its shitty that i spend literaly 16 hours a day on projects making the bands sound good as fuck and they don't even give a shit...I poured everything I had into some bands that ended up getting signed to major labels which was really cool to be apart of but i always felt like i was missing something. I wasn't happy at all. So, after a couple computer freezes at the right time, i quit and walked away from my whole career
I got sadder...more..
......I got sadder than that...
I started a new project called transit studio - i was sitting in class one day and the idea hit me after writing 5 songs worth of lyrics on a piece of paper during a test...i woulda failed anyway. So i picked up my books and walked out of the test and sat in my room and started writing again. It brought a new light to my life and made me feel like a human being again. Fuck all the critics and anything anyone thought..i did my own thing and loved every second of it. It brought me closer to all of my fans and friends who i love so much and in return...i got a HUGE response. Thank you. I haven't been to class since..
i learned how to be sad and how to make it okay to be. to use it to my own advantage.
fuck you, sincerely me...
Best Interest played a farewell show - by far the worst show we've ever played but you know what...it wasn't about that. It was about closure and making it okay to let it go...and although everything that could have went wrong did...it was still an amazing show because i got to say goodbye to it all and put it behind me and had a kick ass time doing it as well. Ryan and Chris - i love you guys more than life itself. You made me, me...and i'm glad we started and ended it all together..the way it always should have been...
I got signed to Drive Thru Records - after 7 long years of trying www.myspace.com/morningcall (we're recording right now so songs with me singing will be up soon) After sending demos to drive thru they hooked me up with a band that needed a singer. I flew out to Canada to meet the guys and we hit it off from day one. I'm so grateful to be out here and to be doing what i've dreamed of doing. We just finished writing an EP and we're currently recording it so we can tour tour tour and do our thing. The songs are so awesome, i'm way excited. I'll finally get to meet everyone that i've been wanting to meet for so long. Thank you for supporting everything i've ever done. I've been through so much. I've tried every option I felt that i had at the times. I was ONE day away from signing up for the Air Force to just do my thing and get my life going and this happened...thank god
...the end

3:23am on Tuesday and i still can't seem to get Arizona out of my head. The night almost seems so surreal to me. I mean, sure we've had kick ass shows before but nothing has ever added up to that one. The minute we stepped foot on stage ready to play the new stuff to a new crowd, we just felt the energy. We opened up with Magic Sticks in December and the whole place went off. It was seriously the most amazing thing i have ever experienced in my entire life. It's like you work so hard at something for so long and you finally feel like its paying off or that you're doing something right. All in all the night was amazing and the kids were fucking rad as hell. We just want to be on the road full time and not worry about work or school or anything else. This is just what i want to do forever if possible. We're going to see how things go with the new release while working the "back door" at the same time. I can't say what's going on yet but hopefully an annoucement will be made soon. If all goes as planned, we'll be on the road full time which is what i would love. California is so great and all but kids in other states who don't have what we have out here just are all so down to earth and so grateful, its so amazing. This summer we'll be on tour and finally get to the see the east coast kids and everything. I definatly can't fucking wait. This is seriously all thats on my mind hahaha. Nothing interesting has happened. We have a show March 8th @ The Troubador. Its a Tuesday night but also one of the most important shows we've ever played. We're headlining and we need AT LEAST 200 kids there when we play. We know its a Tuesday night but we'd do anything for anyone just to make it to the show. We NEED it to be amazing no matter what it takes to get people to this show. It should be fun too so its not like its a waste hahha...TELL EVERYONE!! well, i'm going to sleep now. I have a lot to think about as to what the hell i want to do with my life. I mean, i know what i want...but as usual i just can't have it...Oh yea, the quote in my "subejct" for this entry is by Relient K, new Capitol Records artist...when their songs are catchy, they're friggin catchy hahah

If you need a friend,
don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.
And when you're in doubt,
and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around,
and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
When your day is through,
and so is your temper,
You know what to do,
I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout,
it's not what's intended.
These words just come out,
with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will.
I gotta tell ya, I need to tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell yaaaa ...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But if you'll wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise, I promise you I will ...
I will...
I will...
I will

[Monday, October 4th, 2004 @ 3:52am] |
A friggin M and i'm still awake...WHAT THE HELL?! So i've come to a conclusion that i can't fall asleep at normal hours of the night like the rest of the human beings on this earth do. I've tried so hard but seriously, just fuck it..so i'm here! yay! So umm...i have some bad news, and some more bad news, and some more bad news. The first bad news is all those tour dates i posted have been cancelled. The reasons, nothing was booked, no gaurentees, conflict in schedules, oh boy way to much. It's gonna happen and it's gonna happen SOON...maybe even sooner than those dates. I've been working on it and we'll hit EVERY city and EVERY state that we can possible get a show in, even if we have to play in backyards to see all of you, we're going to do it.
The bass amp situation...we still don't have one, nor do any of us have the money to buy one. We need $1300 by the end of this month or we're fucked HUGE. Anyone wanna send donations?? PO BOX 1456 Torrance, CA 90505 hahaha. RYans dad (band manager, ryans manager, father that bought ryan his amp) is having a birthday party Oct 9 and asked us to play. HOW THE HEL ARE WE GONNA SAY NO??? We've been thinking and he's going to find out. We're screwed.
Funding for the recording is getting kinda shady so we're on the verge of shelling it out ourselves and being homeless for a while until we can make it back somehow. We HAVE to finish this album by the end of this month. I can't wait anymore so once again, we're sorry AGAIN. Good news!! We got an awesome Distro deal which will stick the album in stores like Best Buy, Tower Records, Amazon.com, Kmart, Target, The Wherehouse, smartpunk.com so you can buy it everywhere!! Just have to meet with some lawyers soon and get this paperwork signed!
School starts again in a week or so. I totally fucked up this semester and I feel like a loser so next semester i think i should read the goddamn books and TRY so i don't feel like this. Maybe we'll be on the road and get signed or something huge like that and i won't need to go through this hell anymore.
OK, i'm done. goodnight. goodbye. i really want a cookie right now. i'm going to the kitchen to grab some. till next time!
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
COME TO OUR SHOW OCT 22 AT CHAIN WWW.BESTINTEREST.NET FOR MORE INFO. I'M GOING TO BE A ********* (still deciding lol)

[Thursday, September 16th, 2004 @ 4:11am] |
It's 4am and i can't sleep because...well i can't ha! too much on my mind and i don't really know what it is if that makes any sense what so ever? I think i feel kinda alone and lost which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think it's just because i've never felt like this in my whole life and i don't have anyone to talk to about it. I've realized that everyone is off in their own little worlds, own lives, own groups, so i don't want to bother and nobody bothers to ask so it's all good i guess right? I think i want to leave and i want to do it soon...don't think anyone would notice anyhow
Ryans amp got stolen and he still hasn't told his dad/band manager. I gotta sell mine and buy him a new one so we dont get caught. His dad will shit bricks if he ever finds out his amp got stolen. Even though we had no control over it what so ever, he's just crazy and will flip so its better left unsaid. We still have to record the album but with school and work schedules, who the hell knows when the fuck that's going to happen but it needs to happen now. We're also waiting around for funds, sponsors, and endorsements as well. We should be crackin in a couple weeks. We better cause we have a tour Feb 01-Apr 17. I hope all goes well.
I gave up on school this semester and I think i'm going to try to transfer to another school. Things will be better someplace else. I just need change and change in a lot of things. I've done/been doing some things in the past few months that aren't me and I shouldn't be doing. I just stopped for a second and looked around at what i was surrounded by and everything just hit me.

The fine lines between both of these worlds
They say no but we’ll choose to rebel

The ones you love you hate the most
The light is so dark when you’re alone
Take me home…

[Monday, September 6th, 2004 @ 2:52pm] |
seems to be the phrase of the week lately...so we just got back in town from probably the worst weekend/show i've ever had.
1) leave LA at around 11pm. After some stops we get to SF at 10am. -cruise control goes out?? My foot is asleep and dead
2) Arrive at the hotel and find out we can't check in yet so we drove to a friends house but they gave us wrong directions so we drove 20 minutes in the wrong direction
3) go back to the hotel and finally get a room
4) no room to park van and trailor (still no sleep yet)
5) park in loading docks and go upstairs to sleep but cant cause everyone is to loud
6) get a phonecall saying we have to move the van and trailor and upload the stuff (still no sleep)
7) we upload and put it in the ballroom where we're playin and set up merch
8) finally find parking then went to eat
9) go back to the room and take a nap for an hour

This was the WORST weekend of my life but thank god its over. For anyone that watched us play, we're so very sorry for everything. We were in horrible moods, ryan got his amp stolen. A lot of the bands were missing things that night (guitars, cables, amps, etc..) our set got bumped back 4 hours and we lost a lot of money on the trip. Nothing was going right for us. I hope the next time we come up there it'll be amazing. I know some of you paid $25 at the door to watch us but ended up leaving before we played cause it was so late. I dunno how we'll ever make it up to you but we had no control over anything that night. Well, i think i've written enough! i'm going to get some rest...

What's crackin! It's almost 5:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. My computer decided to have a heartattack so i've been without for almost a day (im on my laptop). Seriously, where the hell would you be without a computer? It feels like something is missing or you forgot to do something. We leave for San Francisco around 10pm tonight. It's going to be some fun times. We finish recording the album as soon as we get back. I think i'm more exicted about that than the whole trip. School is absoultely horrible right now. I don't even want to be there its so fucking pathetic. I haven't went to class in about a week. Hopefully the new album will go well and i'll be able to do what i want to do for a really long time hahaha. I'm almost graduated but i guess i'm just not feeling it at the moment. I don't know what else to write about really. Everything else has been the same ol same ol. Till next time...
