something for someone...

You only live once, so why not die of smoke inhalation?
Over winter break I'm building an igloo(assuming we get snow). Not many people build igloos and i think that's a shame. It's a lot of work but i think it's worth the reward. I built one with some friends a year or two ago and it was awesome. We basically packed recycle bins with snow and made them into bricks, stacked about a hundred bricks, and patched in the holes. And that was our igloo.

This year will be different, we're making a cigar igloo. It's something I'm wicked stoked on. I love cigars. Not cuz I'm like addicted, but because they're relaxing. They remind me of friends. Good times with friends where we just chill. I miss just sitting on my back porch at 2AM just smoking and chilling out. I can't think of a time i had a bad cigar smoking experience ha ha. I'm a tool. But yea, the plan is to build an igloo with friends (hopefully Dustin can come out) and then after just smoke with all of em in this igloo. Ventilation may be an issue...

I recently started chewing (NOT dipping) and I'm not sure how i feel about it. I get weird nicotine highs. It's weird. Yes, I do know it can cause cancer. So can standing too close to a TV, talking on your cell phone, or inhaling the sweet scent of burning plastics :) I don't plan on making it a habit. Plus it grosses people out. I don't know.


Bro...
I got a taste of Cali and want to go back. NOW! Warped in California was like, the best, and there is no cold weather :)I love palm trees, beaches, California girls, in-n-out burger. And unlike Kevin, I do like the huge glasses girls wear. I think it's hilarious.

NOTE: if you've never been to In-N-Out burger, GO!!!! Delectable burgers..... dear god they were good. I convinced my boss to buy me a shirt from there when we were on tour. I was "supposed to pay him back". Any burger joint that has a secret menu is worth mentioning.

Along with some other things I dislike:
I really despise the sound of my own voice. Is that sad? I think i sound like a tool. Speaking of the sound of my voice, I hate 1-ply toilet paper. Someone once told me, "There are two things you can't cheap out on in life. Bedding and your toilet paper". The concept of one ply is just dumb. You're just going to double it up anyways...... Jeez. That's one of the things i hate about college. Communal bathrooms suck, but i can deal with it. The other thing that really grinds my gears( haven't seen family guy in so long) is my bed at school. Those of you who have been in my room know how nice and comfy my bed it. It sucks you in. Lets just say my bed at school is "lacking".

Once upon a time....
The pipes in my dorms use to clank constantly all night. There were a few nights where i noticed it so much i stayed up until about 5:30AM. That sucks when you have classes at nine. But tonight, there are no clinks and clangs. I fear that this won't last because today was fairly warm. I'm doomed....

What happened to my life?
Since this summer i really started to realize how old i was. I took on a lot of new responsibilities I'd never had to think about. I look back now and wonder where all those days of playing with my race cars went, where the hell my Lego castles have disappeared to, and why the hell I ever sold my N64. ya know? The good days. Where I didn't have to worry about that project i had due, or pissing that person off, or just... being responsible. I miss the days where i had no worries. I miss following my dad around or doing arts and crafts with my mom. I miss being little, when both of my feet could fit into the show prints my dad's boots would make. He still has those same boots haha. It's weird to me how my feet can't fit in them anymore. I'd venture back there for a while if i could. There is something in the new line inspired by this.... You'll see.

Inspiration:
I met a lot of cool people this summer and still miss two of the dudes i was closest with. Like... A LOT.... Kevin I think really helped me mature as a person the past few months. He opened my mind to see things in different ways. I kinda took grasp of a new way of living. He inspired me to start writing this shit. So thanks. I owe you a Sammich'. He's a really cool individual and i miss the look on his face when he'd be like " Really, dude? You just sold three cases of comps in an hour? Really?". Good times.



Then there is Jim Riley. Him and Kev were like my two big gay dads on the tour (they are both very straight). Jim taught me a lot. haha. I'll never forget his thanks... "Thanks for buying me dinner this summer". It's one of those you had to be there things... I miss him doing jumping jacks in mosh pits, knowing EVERYONE on the tour, him being godly with women, and his cute blue eyes. Jim and I would sucker groups of girls into buying shit. That was hands down awesome. He's a rad dude. I'll post a picture of him in his prime down here somewhere :D

I miss those dudes.....









Small World...
So i do these local shows with Bands and solo artists and the craziest thing just happened. For my English class I had to read an essay out of a Student Anthology titled: Year I Missed Winter, By Rosie Walunas. Rosie is a wicked nice, cute, and talented girl that plays our shows a lot. It's a small world. Ha... Anywho, She's awesome...

Speaking of shows...
I have a huge passion for doing live sound and lighting reinforcement. I work (I wouldn't call it "work" per say) for this production company called PDP Productions and it's like, one thing i absolutely love. If i was asked to do sound on a 365-day, show a day tour, I'd already be packing. I love it. I love the people I work with and all the cool people i get to meet. More importantly, I allow a bunch of people to have a great time at a kick ass show. If you want to see what I'm talking about, come to a show. (my clothing line will be debuting new items at these shows) Here are some upcoming dates we have:

-January 3Rd- Greenfield Green Teen
-January 4Th- Enfield, CT
-January 9Th- Albany, NY

On another note...
I'd like to leave this post with these last words.
