Back In Black

Thu, 30 Mar 2006 04:08:06 GMT

wow...

i don't remeber the last time i updated this shit...
or was near a computer to update this shit...
or really cared about updating this shit...

but anyways, how's everybody doing?? alot has gon on in my life in the past [insert time span here] but i don't feel like explaining any of it cause there's way too much to talk about. as a small recap, i've gained some friends, had some fun, found some love, lost some love, alot of drama... unnecesary drama, and in the the long run, i think all my trials and tribulations end up making me a better person. i've been going through alot of personal and emotional challenges lately but as long as i keep a steady head and a strong spirit i'm pretty sure i'll make it through it. i mean, i've made it this far haven't i?
in any event, umm... where to start:

The FLAT BROKE video is OFFICIALLY DONE!! i'm just being a lazy cunt so that's why YOU don't have a copy of it chilling in your DVD collection yet. as soon as i get the ball rolling on this shit, i should be having a VIDEO PREMIER at Uncle Sam's music store. i was going for the end of february, beginning of march but like i said, i'l lazy and i've come to the conclusion that that's going to lead to my untimely demise. anywho, as soon as i get copies made, i'll hit y'all niggas up and let you know about the premier. the video's gonna go for fifteen dollars($15) a copy and the premier's probably gonna be maybe 5 bucks. but if you buy a copy of it AT the premier then it'll only be 10 bucks.

the next drudges show is this friday at Piper high school. sorry for the late notice but whatevs. i doubt anybody cares to read my shit anyways.

johnny spew just alerted mr that "The party's in hur(slang for here)." so i'mma bounce and bid you all good night.

untill the next time i'm in front of a computer with internet access, and not lazy...

bad friggin day

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 05:07:03 GMT

ahhhh... wtf
haven't updated in a while. today sucked kinda:

woke up late for the second time this week(and it's only wednesday) so i was late for work. got shitty-ass nuggets from wendys. came home to see that my mom finally got her new car(she's a director of sales in mary kay cosmetics so she kinda earned a free car. lots of hard work though) so that was cool. i'm really proud of her. went to taco bell w/ krystal and leor( BONDAGE NIGGA! BONDAGE!!). they'll get that. afterwards, we went to meet up with my boo, candice. seriously the coolest girl on the planet. we've know eachother for quite a long time. she means more to me than i think she knows. i'mma let her know soon enough too. can't play that shit like a buster. anyways, met up with her at panera bread and wouldn't ya know it... they ran out of baked potato soup. some potato soup wednesday... whatevs. we left there and i took krystal and leor to leor's and that's when the shit went down and hit the fan like the freckles on candice's back. haha. when i got there, i wasn't even gonna get out but i went inside for seriously, like one minute and thirty seconds to say hey and when i went back out to my truck the shit wouldn't start. wtf. anywasy, my step-dad came and gave me a jump. took like 45 minutes to get there when i live live not even 10 minutes away. wtfX2. so i tried to get to an automotive shop before they closed and needless to say they were all closed. except for one. i got there five minutes before they closed and they couldn't take me anyways. so i just came home, moped, thencame to jays which is where i am right now. i'm tired though. gotta get up by eight to take my car nexdoor to the shop so i can go to the hot hot heat show tomorrow. so fuckin-hella psyched for it. johnny spew's commin with too. so hopefully tomorrow's gonna be better.

lastly the next show is on July 30th. this is gonna be a big one too. the Obscene, The Drudges, Van Orsdels, BTH, the monistats, and Stavikz. Marky who works with Bony Orbit Records is settin that whole shindig up and it's the first show he's set up at flow so we gotta pack that shit to the fullest! pack that shit and shut lee up. HA! BONDAGE!! hgahahahaha. but for real foreal, tell everyone and they're grandma about htis show. i wanna show these guys what this south florida scene is all about.

so untill next time

cheers

P.S. - A BIG happy birthday to Darianne : )

large gaps of time + lazyness = really late updates

Mon, 30 May 2005 06:30:50 GMT

yo, holy shit. i'm fucking updating...

alright, first off lemme say i've been absent for quite some time and alot has happened. but i'm too lazy to explain every little detail but whatevs.

ok, it just took me about 5-10 minutes to go from typing that last line to typing this one. i'm a little crunked up right now and i was trying to think about where to start on this shit.

ok, fuck what's happened in the past month and a half. i'm startin from about a week or two ago.

i've been chillin chillin with my boo Krysatl and the Nasty Girls alot lately. quarts to the face and OC parties like woah at leor's. my body's mad tired from skating cause for some stupid reason, last time i skated, i skated for about nine to ten days in a row. i'm payin for it now for real. i've been killing it though. i'm like proud of myself cause i actually noticed how much i've been progressing. but last weekend i rolled my ancle really bad in miami. i tought i had broke it and that would be real bad seeing as how i don't have insurance right now. but don't worry about that. it's feelin ok now. but on the real tip. my boy Elio's birthday was saturday and that shit was redunk like woah: factor 8 or 9. crunk as junk, river was standing at the door with brass nuckles and a baseball bat holdin shit down, three kids got beer bottles shashed over their heads. we staright up bropped three C-notes on alcohol alone(that's three hundred dollas mutha fucka), fuckin potato soup at bennigans. junk mas mad professional son. i had on my iced out, gold, spinner watch that my friggin GRANDMOTHER got me. i don't mess around son. but then it got broken up by cops cause the taravella baseball team almost got beat the fuck up by river, juliano, and half the kids that were there. mad drama as well but i ain't down on that. sam beach hooked it up with henna tatoo shit. i got a xGGMx on my wrist that's gonna be there for about the next two weeks. and i hooked up dan the man with a mad proper, san andeas lookin GGM tag down his ENTIRE FOREARM! that kid's such a gangsta. i've dranken for the past three days in a row son. wtf. remmington's gettin shipped off to iraq on wednesday so we got crunk in honor of that. that sux that he's leavin though. i'm mad slackin on the female situation as well too. and i've kinda been in a position where havin a girl there with ya would make things alot easier to handle. just to have that extra support ya know. but whatevs. i try not to think about it too much. depression sux. but whatevs. it's two in the morning right now and i'm mad tired. went to my homegirl kristen trump's house tonight got a little tipsy while everyone went swimming in the pool.i couldn't hit that junk up cause i didn't have any shorts. but it's all good cause i hit up Family Guy with momma-dukes. so yea...

i'm tired of staring at this screen but i'm gonna leave off on the note of our show on thursday the 2nd at flow. it's the drudges demo release show and i wanna see everyone INSIDE supporting the bands instead of being fuckin "punk rock" and staying outside to drink. fuck that shit. there's nothin wrong with drinkin at the shows but these kids don't even pay for the shows anymore. they go there to sit outside, drink, and then after you played for about ten people, they come up and tell you how good you are even though they don't go in and support the bands they went there for. what the fuck is that shit. these kids need to get their heads on straight. but anyways, the show is this upcomming thursday. the demo is $3 for six songs. but there's a special scenario for this show. when you're paying for the show, if you bring one friend to the show and actually have them pay to get in, than YOU GET A FREE DRUDGES DEMO! that's right bitches. so i hope i see alot of GANG GREEN MAFIOSOS holdin it down at this one.

sam scandal has some killer friggin sunglasses. kyle shows more support than anyone. greg valley has alot of temper tantrums( "if i hear one more thing, i'm gonna start crackin' some skulls together!" ), sarah makes out sith everyone when she's drunk(i haven't made the list yet though), anthony's buyin a set of dubs for three hundred dollars. what a hustler. amber love taco bell alot. BONES IS THE MUTHA FUCKIN MAN!!! happy birthday elio. i saw jessica swartz for the first time in about a year and a half. i love that girl. jason loves poker and it's gonna make him rich. family guy already got cancelled on fox after THREE EPISODES. seth mcfarlane rocks. i'm sick of typing so i'm i'm out. no telling when my next update's gonna be so don't hold your breath.

a 2:30 in the morning cheers

ok, so what is there NOT to say about last night's show. by far the best yet! i wanna personally thank everyone that came out to support the drudges last night. that was the best crowd i've seen in a long time. not just at one of our shows but at a show PERIOD! there were screwdrivers(that's orange juice & vodka); dropped jaws when everyone found out about the hair; thorn-removal opperatons on Tanker by Dr. Jay(no, not quite Dr. Dre); good news-baring about the crisis comming back; the combination of seeing Gwenndazzle, E.M.I, and Sam; to much to list. last night is just proof to me that i'm really friggin glad that i decided to move back. i feel i made the right decision. i think we have another show in like a week or two but there'll definetly be ALOT MORE where that came from.

OH SHIT, and i almost forgot. Once again, "high biddin kellogs" over here is at it again. this afternoon i won an auction on ebay for my brand new VX2000!!!! Comes with all the goodies as well as a death lens(fisheye). looks kinda like dis...

How flippin sexy...

well, i'm tired so i'mma head out and grub up some ish.

peace out

Kel

And you were wishing, and wanting to be so much older now

and your life and dreams are getting so much colder

you don't know what you had and now your song is sung

you've forgotten what it's like to be young.

And you were wishing, and wanting to take it all back

cause your life and dreams are rotted and cracked

you're sick and tired of all the things you've done and seen

cause you're an old man at the age of eighteen.

-the Trouble

back in black...

Fri, 28 Jan 2005 06:39:33 GMT

Ahhh... i feels good to be back.

Ok. soi left xPVx on Monday at about 2:30pm on the drive back home. Wednesday afternoon, i stopped to have lunch for an hour with my sister in Jacksonville so that was cool. i got into Springs on Wednesday around 8:00pm so the drive took us about 2 days and 5 and a half hours. damn! to stress how amazing that is it sometimes people two days alone just to get through Texas. so yea... But then when i got here, i went to park the truck and my Dad got out but when i went back over to my house, he was gone. he just disappeared. and i still haven't heard from him. and he doesn't have a cell phone either. i hope he's ok. Oh, and b.t.w.:

1. Texas is the biggest waste of space cause it's too friggin big

2. the highways in Louisiana still suck

3. i lost my virginity while i was in Arizona

4. and i was in PV just long enough to make some friends and then have to sever the relationships by comming back here. not that i'm complaining but my boy Shane who's actually from florida might be comming for summer so that's cool.

but anyways. it's great to be back. and how better to start it off than to have a show! that's right. The Drudges are playing Friday the 28th(that's tonight) at Flow so urrbody better come out.

i watched Napolean D. with Jay today so that was chill. i need to go to BC and get a board and some shoes cause mine are quite tattered. and instead of rambling, i'm gonna cut it short so goodnight to all and (mxpx style)i'll see you tomorrow.... AT THE SHOW!

cheers & goodnight

kel

It was familiar to me

the smoke too thick to breathe

the tile floors glistened

i slowly sipped my drink

and when you started to sing

you spoke with broken speech

that i could not understand

and then you grabbed me tightly

i won't let go, i won't let go

even if you say so, oh no

i've tried and tried with no results

i won't let go, i won't let go...

-T.P.S.

yes!!!!

HO... LY... JUNK!!

this one's gonna be short. alright, i haven't updated in a long time and the reason why is cause my friggin computer broke. wack. whatevs, i'm finally back in So. Fla but don't get too excited cause i'm just visiting. I'm here from December 19th to January 3rd. So everyone can get plenty of Kellogs time and I can get as many chill-sessions with everyone as i can. I gotta soak it up before i head back west cause this dose has gotta last me a while.

anyways i'mma cut it short. But on a final note:

There WILL be a "Welcome Back Kellogs Show." The date is not etched in stone but it's lookin like December 29th at Flow. The Drudges, The Crisis(last show), Lithium, Alley Riot, and The Contemptibles. More to come on this...

till next time

cheers

Kel

a great friggin day

Fri, 19 Nov 2004 06:01:28 GMT

Oh man. ok, well... today in a word.... was great!

i woke up this morning(on time might i add. my alarm is set for 9am but i've trained my self to sleep through the obnoxious blaring of the local radio station. not good.) and watched Pulp Fiction while downing a quad-stack plate of waffles. nothing like a good dose of Quentin Tarentino in the morning. and i also finished tabbing this song this morning that i've been trying to decifer for a good year+ now. Broken by the System by Spudgun. great song with crazy bass so i was super stoked on that. afterwards, i went on the computer to stray from bordom. every time i think about ebay, i always think of lookin for dvd box sets of animes cause they're hella expensive in stores but always forget when i'm actually on. but this time i remembered. so after a few minutes, i came upon several choice finds but it seems that with ebay, there's never good intentions. like you're always gettin suckered or something. i dunno, maybe i just have little faith in online buying. whatevs. anyways, to make a long story short, i ended up bidding on a box set of the anime Trigun. no one had really found it yet and there were only a few hours left on the auction. so while sitting all antsy in my comp chair i was talking to carly online and she was just as excited as i was. the whole auctioning thing is quite exciting. invigorating if you will. it's like a rush. anyways, i won the auction and was super excited. i ran back and forth across my kitchen floor sliding in my socks Tom Cruise style. haha. so to make matters better, this kid i met here named Dustin called me up to.... DUM DAH DUUMMMMM..... SKATE!!! plans were to meet up with him at the little subway/gas station up the road(closest thing to civilization) and head to the local skatepark. so my pops was gonna give me a lift to the corner store and when we went to start the car.... the battery was dead. figures. so the corner store isn't that far from my house so i walked on down there, met up with him, and we were out. it just so happens that the park is actually in walking distance from my house(another +) so we headed down there. the park is great. all concrete, smooth as hell, and free! you couldn't ask for more. nice trannys, chill rails, and a killer bowl section. needless to say, i laid it down FxB style and tore that junk up! after doing some of the stock tricks on the little flat bars and ledges, i started to feel the "gawk-in-shock" feeling. ya know, where you're killin it, don't even realize, and when you're just cruisin by you feel the kids that are just standing there staring at you. and when the feeling kicks in full effect, you look up to notice the kid staring at you. and when he sees you've picked up on him he quickly looks away trying to seem as though he wasn't just eyeball fucking you. so anyways, i skated the little bank/bump Bz-N-Bz type thing and had alot of fun with it. kickflip all steezy first try. nollie b/s 180 all huge. nollie f/s 180 all huge first try(kinda felt bad cause one kid was really workin for nollie at the time). normal stuff. then busted out with the switch stuff. switch 180 all nice, switch pop shuvie-shuv, and in the first couple tries a quite impressive switch flip as well. nice and big too : ) almost did switch b/s 180 first try but dustin had to leave so i decided to bounce with him. all in all i think i made a good first impression. hahahahaha. i met alot of kids. too many to count on both hands and needless to say i don't remember their names(i hate that). the kids here are really cool. not stuck up, cruel, or anything. the normal shit talkers but you can tell they're just playing around in their tone of voice. so, an overall good vibe. dustin and i left, headed back towards the gas station, and then parted paths. i got salsa doritos and a black cherry pepsi at the gas station and started towards the house. halfway there i realived that my beenie was no longer in my back pocket so i was kinda pissed about that but eh, whatevs. it was a good thing i left the park when i did cause as i had set foot in to the house, i saw my dad sitting on the couch watching the OC!! luckily i had only missed about ten minutes of it so once again, another +. i decided to end the great day by celebrating with the grilling of some big fat hamboigas and maybe downing the last two Coronas. but we didn't have any hamburger buns. so my dad and i walked back down to the corner store, i walked all over the freshly mopped floor(and felt awful for it) to retrieve the buns, and what did i find on the way back home.... MY BEENIE!!!!! could this day get any better?!? so in any event, came back home, and now i'm gettin ready to chow down. so i bid goodnight to you all, and before i leave...

a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CARMEN!!!!(even though she prob won't see this)

P.S. - carly's gonna make me a picture and i'm gonna frame it so i can use it as a conversational piece at all my "swanky parties."

cheers

kel "the high bidder" logs

i don't know what i'm going to do, i'm feeling beaten black and blue

i'm so confused. is this really my life? society's holding my throat with a knife

play it their way or don't play at all. live your life inside a brick wall

there's no way out. is this what i dread? i refuse to give up. i'd rather die instead

::chorus:: broken by the system! my head is full of their lies

broken by the system! they refuse to hear the people's cries

broken by the system! ignorance and greed are the reasons why

(i'm)broken by the system! and i won't give in until i die!

my future you can't decide. it's my future, my genocide

it's up to me what i'm gonna do, i'm not gonna live my life for you

the system-rich people with the laws in their hands, they think it's theirs, this forsaken land

the ground i walk on doesn't belong to them. i refuse to give in to the system

::chorus::

i used to be at the top. now i'm at the bottom of the chain.

i'm drowning in this world. my lungs begin to strain

what about my dreams? i never had any. now i'm at the end.

i livedmy life but it wasn't mine. it belonged to the system.

like the dickens...

Thu, 18 Nov 2004 02:28:41 GMT

Ok, so alot's gone down since my last update. Here's a quick recap:

Fri. Nov 12

Things have been quite on the productive side since first arriving the previous week. between moving all the stuff from my dad's old house to the new "Pimp-shack", i went out and got a new bed. and ohhhhh man, what a bed. it's a queen size, made of clouds, and hella comfortable. when we got it dropped off, i got a head start by taking a ten minute nap in it and when i woke up i didn't want to get out of bed. haha. anyways, there was more stuff to take care of and we didn't even end up staying the night at the new place so i guess that nap was just a tease.

Sat. Nov 13

FIRST NIGHT IN THE NEW HOUSE!!!

woo hoo!!

I got most of my junk situated in my room today. posters, pictures, basically tried to get it "kelified" as quick as possible. came out mad gangsta too. first night in the new bed too... nuff said about that. buenos noches!

Mon. Nov 15

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E.M.I!!!!!!!

sweet-sixteens are so much better when you're a girl...

Tues. Nov 16-Present

Well, i'm addicted to Tokyo Extreme Racing again. i stayed up till 3am(5am FL time) palying it last night; then woke up and played it some more this morning after a very filling breakfast. OH MAN! and i completely forgot to mention that last week i actually got some skating in! : D i rocked it Pete "the meat" Brown style and set up my rail in the little bit of driveway that i have(most of it's made up of rocks for some stupid fucking reason) and rolled outta the driveway to skate it. worked pretty well. the usual went down, nollie backside lips on lock, started doing b/s 50-50s. gettin the feel for em. and i gotta add that switch boardslides back to switch are one of the funnest tricks in the world. gotta throw that down something. well, anyways, i'm tired of typing so to make a long story short i've been doing nothing. Amy from Dairy Queen wants me and this kid Dustin's gonna try and hook us up. so i'll see how that goes. still on the search for a friggin skate shop. i might have to order all my shit so that sux. whatevs. i'm gonna go eat something and play TXR.

cheers

well, tonight was my first night gettin out and about the town and let me tell you... i learned alot about what goes on here.

we went out earlier today to run some errands and while cruising through the town(notice i use the word 'town' instead of 'city'. that's how small this place is) i began to feel a little at ease towards the things i had been stressing over earlier. up the road i live on, gurley street(how masculine), is basically as 'downtown' as it gets. there's the AZ version of el toro(with no runway) in front of the courthouse and the surrounding area seems to be where most of the locals chill. wishing i had never left my punk scene, i got a little reassurance by seeing a small group of punks lurking in the square. also, i thought the only way i'd be able to skate was if i built a mini in the back but when we went to albertson's i saw a few skate rats gettin drinks and continuing on their skate day. they were on foot so i guess there must be some skate spots that i just haven't discovered yet. there's alot of stuff that looks good to skate but when you get a close enough look, there's always something wrong. either there'll be no runway, the landing will be all rough or even dirt, or if there's a rail it'll be kinked or hella steep or wood(argh). and i'm not prepared with "make-skateable" tools. i'm not even sure if there's a skate shop. i might have to order all my junk(wack!). i was rollin' around with my dad bump-bump-bumpin' to the one and only Dr. Dre. the Chronic. nine-duce style. so that was cool. kinda weird though. never the less over all good day so far.

(7:15pm) tonight i went to the infamous roller rink my dad's always talking about; "Roller Rave." it wasn't that bad. i havent been on skates in God knows how long and i haven't been to a roller skating rink since fourth or fifth grade. but suprisingly i did quite well. got some good speed goin. i met this cool kid named Gabe. he straight up came up to me and was like,"i've never seen you around here. my name's Gabe." just like that. quite the stand up gesture. we went out and skated and he already wanted the best for me. teaching me new things on the skates, just generally wanting to see me "get better." anywho, he kinda gave me the lowdown about how things work and what goes down here in prescott and prescott valley. apparently, there's alot of wangsters who think they're the shit, lesbian college girls, the inevitable "posers", and a few good seeds. he told me to just get out and introduce myself to people cause it's kinda pointless to go to the 'Rave' without a female. i told him how i made the move form So. Fla to AZ and he basically told me that i had made a mistake moving here. there's nothing here apparently. on the positive side, i got to talk with darianne on the phone for a little while so that was cool. she makes me happy. just hearing her voice. the scene at the 'Rave' was a little younger than i had expected. kinda scary. these little girls wear loads of makeup(and i'm talking 7-12 year olds. that's why it's scary). eyeliner, lipstick, the whole nine yards. i'm suprised they don't stuff. HA! and they tickle up on all the boys. i think they're getting too much of a head start here in the AZ. and i think i need to start looking for friends, much older friends, somewhere else. maybe i'll head down to the square tomorrow and try to meet up with some of the locals. regardless, i'm gonna go out and spot search tomorrow. if i don't get to skate soon i'm gonna lose it.

on a much lighter note, i got to talk to my O.G. home gurl Sofia Haga today. she lives in finland so we don't get to talk much. i miss her. i actually got to talk to alot of people today. Vegas, Dar-dogg, the FamilyJULEZ, and i got a message from Valerie Sebastien. too late to call now so i gotta hit her up tomorrow. it makes me very happy to know that alot of people really care about me. it was 39degrees out tonight. *burrrrrrrr*. i have alot of adjusting to do.

well, it's getting late(12:56am) so i'm gonna grab a quick snack and hit the sack..... that rhymed unintentionally.

good night all. good night darianne.

well, i'm finally here.
current location: Prescott, AZ
current temperature: 60degrees F
Humidity: 16%!!!!
current elevation: 5300 ft.

we finally got into Arizona this morning around 9am-ish and have i got stuff to tell you about the trip...
ok, so we left out of So. Fla around 8:30pm/9:00pm and i took the first round of driving. so i basically started off the journey by driving from coral springs to TALAHASSEE! in nine hours of straight driving might i add. i was pretty much wired off of two Mountain Dew pitch blacks and some other soda i had earlier that night. i wanted to stop off and see my sister in Jerksen-Vile(jacksonville) but since we left so late by the time we got up there it was about two or three in the morning. so i guess that was out of the question. i got a snap of the jacksonville skyline though AND it was at night so that made it look all pizzimp. anywho, when you overdose on the sugar, it gives you a boost for the mean time but then there is always the inevitable "crash." so around five-thirtyish things started to become a blur. the lines in the road began to fuse and i started to feel myself doze off. after a few times i figured, "alright kellogs, tighten up!" but it wasn't directly my fault. my body was physically deprived of rest. and not to mention, i had been going all day and driving off of 4 HOURS OF SLEEP! and wired off sugar. so, sure enough, after the previous statement was thought, i began to blank out again. and when i openned my eyes, i found that i had driven half way off the road! the uneven dirt awoke me and the first thing i noticed was that the yellow line that's normally on the left hand side of the road was now closer to my right tire. so to once again avoid DEATH i slowly turned the wheel back to the right instead of jerking it real quick which would lead to the truck rolling over on its side. when it comes to split second decisions, i normally do real good. this was one of em. so with that situation over with, it's needless to say that i pulled that junk over real quick, woke up my dad, and made him take over...

quick details on whole trip:
-hours of solo driving: 18-21 hrs.
-total miles driven: approx. 2466.41 miles
-skyline tally: seven
-states traveled through: seven
-total pictures taken: seventeen
-pictures left: nine
-cell phone calls missed due to being "out-of-range": one
-items left behind: two movies, several shirts, and too many friendships
-over night hotel stays: one
-number of shirts worn: two
-hours of iPod usage: countless
-highways in Luisiana suck
-Texas is too friggin big

the time it took us to cross the country strikes me as quite remarkable. when i moved from California to Florida, it took about five days. but then again, it was only my dad doing the driving then. and not only did we make it from So. Fla to texas in LESS than a day(approx. 22hrs), but we made the whole trip across country in less than three!!! two days and nineteen hours. wow.
the season premeire of the OC is on now soooo... brb...
wow. i love the plot twists of that show

current situation:
-temp outside: 40degrees F
-local time: 8:35pm
-current mood: full

it seemed that by the time we got to texas, the trip was basically over but then i realized how ludacrisly large texas is. what's the point. and when we got to Pheonix, i got pulled over by the stupid border patrol cause they thought we were smuggling mexicans and crack rock steady beats. stupid fucking border police. ehh. whatevs. i have way too short of an attention span to do this. texas sux. new mexico sux. and not being near my friends SUX! with a capital S-U-X!!!!! i just realized what i've done. i moved out. i moved out of my house but it wasn't just out of there. it was out of ALL OF FLORIDA. i miss my So. Fla scene. i miss Derianne. I REGRET EVER LEAVING JASON! i honestly don't know what i'm going to do without him. he's my other half. i feel inadequate when he's not around. let alone on the OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKING COUNTRY! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. this is alot for me to handle. the monday that i left was horrible. we finally got all my shit in the truck and i said my last good-byes to george(my step-dad) and jason. and as we began to roll out of the driveway i looked back to see jay and porgie just standing there watching me drive away. the emotion was so overwhelming. it takes ALOT for me to cry. i mean, last christmas, i went to a friggin funeral and somehow didn't even feel remorse. but on this occassion, i just couldn't hold back. and as soon as i gained a little self control, i would try to call people on my cell to say good-bye. and as soon as i'd just pull the name up, i'd get all choked up and wouldn't be able to beathe so i didn't get past calling my mom. i talked to alot of people on the way though so that comes as a little consolation. wow, this alot for me to talk about so i think i'm gonna call it quits for tonight. i love you jay. just keep it in your mind that you're always on mine. i miss you bro...

goodnight

up to speed

Thu, 28 Oct 2004 19:00:27 GMT

well, the departure date is set for this Sunday : ( My dad's flyin in friday, hopefully i do end up having my going away party saturday, and then it's Bon Voyage on sunday morning. hopefully i'm not too hund over from the two previous nights of "good-byes."

On a lighter side, here's a pic of my new best friend:

the kid that had it before me must have been pretty cool cause it already has alot of good music on it. everything from thursday and brand new to anti-flag, the adicts, and the sex pistols. there's also a bunch of songs from skate videos too so that's pretty straight. i haven't even touched the thing yet. i'm just gonna rock out to the songs that are already on there before i put new stuff on it.

Last weekend i skated this rail in delray with Moe-Dizzle and Dax-dogg. it was pretty cool untill it started raining so we dipped out to skates U.S.A. and skated the free mini in the store. i got called out by like, the shop's "good kid" for a game of skate and totally ANIALATED him. it was funy. i had a crowd goin and all too. Ha! well that's just how us BC guys do it. after skating we found out about this pompano beach high party so we went and tore ish up there. a few games of Hold-Em', i "found" twenty dollars, and jacked a bottle of Smirnoff vodka from the kid's dad's liquor cabinet. heh heh heh... fun night... and some broad named jessica flashed me. haha

i went and chilled with brooke, carly, and candace at the mall on tuesday so that was cool. watching the "retard convention" that they seem to have regularly i've been told. and i got to see my homie Matt Schwartz one more time. maybe i'll get a chance to see them all again before i leave. i enjoy their company.

EMI IS THE SHIT CAUSE SHE DEDICATED A WHOLE FRIGGIN' HALF HOUR OF MUSIC TO ME ON 88.5 AND CAUSE I SAID SO!

and i got this cool pic of me from her. i don't remember it being taken but i like it

we had the (sob*sob*)last drudges practice wednesday and i must say it was killer. one of the best. i had alot of fun. i really don't wanna give up on the band cause i know the potential that we have and we can actually take this somewhere but you can't force anyone to do something they don't want to do for themself so that's something we'll just have to work on. my dad want's to try and get us on the radio in arizona cause he says the city that he lives in is really open to new talent and what not so maybe when we get our recording done we can hit that up.

carly's supposed to come over today but she'll probably sell me out cause i'm black or something lame like that. whatevs i'm used to it. hahaha. well, i've run out of things to say at the end of this long ass post so untill next time, i leave you with a quote from the one and only, Peter Griffin...

(peter reads alloud) "I'd be more apethetic if i weren't so lethargic..."

let that one sink in

cheers

sorrows and new beginnings

Wed, 13 Oct 2004 19:56:41 GMT

ok. so the long awaited and witheld news that i feel i must let my friends and others know...

in the EXTREMELY near future I'M MOVING BACK TO CALIFORNIA!

yep. if all goes as planned, i should be on my way as of the beginning of November(ya know... NEXT MONTH!) i'm hella-excited and kinda bummed at the same time because i not only feel as though i'm leaving part of myself here in So. Florida but i am also really upset about leaving all my friends behind, especially J-Dizzle! he's like my other half. i don't feel complete or i fell like something's missing when he's not around so that's gonna be really hard for me. i also feel like i'm leaving with alot of unfinished business. everyone can't get their act together so the recording thing isn't going all to steady. words bottled up and left unsaid to certain girls i've had constantly on my mind. FxB, OH GOD! FLAT BROKE! i'm gonna have a real hard time re-adjusting to this major change. i'm gonna miss this So. Fla punk scene. i've sat back and watched it grow so much. i'm gonna miss the subtle hook-ups. i'm not gonna be able to skate Miami for a LONG FUCKIN TIME. as much as i say i hate florida, i'm really gonna miss it and what i had going here. it's been real good to me. but at the same time i can't let it hold me back. as the phrase goes,"only those that risk going to far will know how far to go." so in any event, i'm going to try and get as much accomplished as i can with the little time i have left here. but be asurred that i wont leave without bidding my final farewells to those i do hold close. but who knows, maybe my band will work out for the better and you'll see me again soon enough back up in the "durty south." hahahaha...(desperate attempt to lighten the mood)

well, cheers for now. leave any thoughts/comments you wish to, good or bad.
