Back In New Jersey

It's good to be home, minus the fact that I am writing this at 6 in the morning cause I cant sleep because of the time change/day light savings.

Slipknot was everything I wanted it to be. I've been waiting to see that band for almost nine years.

old habits die hard

skateboarding again

and buying shoes again

oof wasting money...

but at least they are cool shoes

see everyone back home, cant wait to be there....

started skating again

Went to the Venice Ramp, except there wasn't a photo shoot of some dumb girl like in that picture. Me and my friend Danny went skateboarding. I don't do much else and I have perfect weather all the time, so why not skate, or at least watch skateboarding and be outside.

Josh Freese is either a genius or insane (in a good or bad way)

Drummer from Nine Inch Nails, Devo, The Vandals, A Perfect Circle, Ween, Sting, and The Offspring is doing some ridiculous I guess you would call them sale packages. They range from $7 to $75,000. This is the $75,000 one.....

For $75,000
-Signed CD/DVD and digital download -T-shirt -Go on tour with Josh for a few days. -Have Josh write, record and release a 5 song EP about you and your life story. -Take home any of his drumsets (only one but you can choose which one.) -Take shrooms and cruise Hollywood in Danny from TOOL's Lamborgini OR play quarters and then hop on the Ouija board for a while. -Josh will join your band for a month...play shows, record, party with groupies, etc.... -If you don't have a band he'll be your personal assistant for a month (4 day work weeks, 10 am to 4 pm) -Take a limo down to Tijuana and he'll show you how it's done (what that means exactly we can't legally get into here) -If you don't live in Southern California (but are a US resident) he'll come to you and be your personal assistant/cabana boy for 2 weeks. -Take a flying trapeze lesson with Josh and Robin from NIN, go back to Robin's place afterwards and his wife will make you raw lasagna.

My apartment has five bottles of this stuff
this could potentially ruin me, or be the best thing ever.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

I've been back in Los Angeles, and I can honestly say I have no complaints. It has been around eighty degrees the past couple of days, and it is the dead of winter. I was wearing a Tank Top in January, not bad. I've been writing songs, but it seems i have 3 pretty good intros and 1 ending to 3 pretty good songs, but I can't really do much else. I'm sure I'll figure something out. I downloaded a bunch of annoying Atari Synthcart sounds and used them which helped pass a few hours and was fun.
Assorted Music came out recently, and it seems to be getting a lot of attention, buzz, whatever you want to call it. So congrats to all my friends involved with that, it is definitely better than Time Trials.
The big decision this spring is my living situation. I have been offered a room at a house here in LA that a handful of my good friends live at, or I could just go back to New Jersey and enjoy all the good things home has to offer.

I can't really think/write, I think on account of I am kind of stressed about doing well in school this semester.

Things I am siked about/looking forward to:
Nick coming out to LA
Berg coming to LA
Fucked Up + Trash Talk Shows
Pig Destroyer
Slipknot show
Fleet Foxes in general
