[ music | these new puritans ]



hey remember that time that i quit my band and moved to nashville and got a really awesome paying job doing real things with my degree and my life was finally positive and i actually felt complete for once and i was the happiest i'd been in a really long time because i found the person who makes me happier than any person ever, no seriously EVER, and i really really really felt 100% sure about where my life was heading?

[ music | this will destroy you ]



SERIOUSLY...
i never thought i could be this excited about someone.
she is so perfect and sweet and beautiful and she loves me and she makes my heart so happy!

on a completely unrelated note...
this will destroy you sounds nothing like i thought they would. the whole 'hey look at us we play instrumental ambient epic soundscape rock' thing is kinda played at this point, but when it's done right, it's amazing.

say i won't.. [14 Nov 2007|04:38pm]
during the long ass drive to omaha:


kids back in the day were such hardasses.

oh yeah, i'm on tour again.
in omaha, nebraska now and it's turbo depressing. no wonder conor wrote such an extensive amount of material here.

being on a good record label rules.
and we got hit up by AP for 'top bands you should watch in 2008'. that's amazing!

awesome stuff:
the new crime in stereo album
DIPLO
starkey
my awesome new head

[ music | the teenagers! ]

the record sounds SO fucking good, i'm very excited for people to hear it.
let's just hope it gets pushed. i'm ready to make that fall out boy money.

so apparently God doesn't want me and travis to move to california this summer.
because he's burning it down! wtf?!

i need to get the hell out of NC, though. i know that.
i can't keep hearing about or seeing certain people.
they say you can't run away from your problems..
watch me.

best apartment/roommates ever.
we are getting a house soon, like in the next 2 months. that will be amazing!

i'm done with girls. for my own reasons.
and idiot people running their fucking mouths about me or my friends.
and also, fuck anyone who thinks put their noses in other people's shit.
fuck off. check yourself. get a life. grow up.
blah. get me outta here.

our new demos sound ridiculously good. i'm so stoked to hear them mixed.

i'm getting turntables again.
i had them in college and learned to mix really well but that's it.
i'm going to actually put them to good use this time.

[ music | bio-dome in the background ]

lately on the plus side::

working out
eating better
designing/creativity
working/$$$
losing weight
hiking
only drinking one day a week
sleep
feeling better
energy

lately on the negative side::

i still miss someone a lot.
i don't know what to do about it.
i don't know if there's anything i can do about it.
....and i didn't get smashing pumpkins tickets today.
....and i'm broke til i get paid on thursday night.

it's really really really odd for me to hang out with people who are drinking and i'm not. but cutting out beer from my diet completely just has to happen. my goal is to be back to 170 by my birthday (july 31). we'll see if that happens, i think it's possible.

we're playing a show this saturday with he is legend.
too bad it's sponsored by camel.
on one hand i'm stoked on the big guarantee..
but i still feel like i'm playing a show sponsored by satan.



don't tell me my whistling is good. whistling's dead.

I AM THE STREET DREAM. [27 Feb 2007|05:18pm]
[ music | YOUNG JEEZY ]

so i was real paid...
my entire tax return went to paying late bills and crap and now i'm broke/overdrafted again. haha
i'm suprisingly NOT stressed about it though.
actually now that i think about it, i'm not really stressed about anything right now.
hm..

so it's really wierd knowing that my right arm will never be "normal" again.
i'm not having regrets in the slightest, it's just kinda crazy!
i only have the outline of the bottom half of it done so far.

new secret lives jams are the shit. i love our new stuff! i'm so proud of it, i can't wait to record it and let other people hear these songs.

i have been spending a LOT of time with my girlfriend lately and it's been fucking awesome.

stoked. [18 Feb 2007|10:59pm]

tattoos!
tristen!
drinking!
making out!
a lot!
drinking!
matt!
yeah!
tristen!
stay wasted crew!
tattoos!
party!
tristen!
repeat!

i start my sleeve on tuesday. oh shit. virgin mary, roses, candles, snakes, etc.
i already have my idea for half of the other arm too. it's a giant teddy bear destroying a city. haha

[ music | we're all dudes ]

not tryin to be mr. gushy pants but..
gahhhhhhhhhhhh that girl puts me in such a good mood. this is awesome.

we're recording doom buggy and so far it sounds exactly like i wanted it to.
first song: marilyn manson 2-step into heavy mosh into epic black metal into noisy/drone/sludge.
hopefully doing vocals and finishing up on saturday. so maybe we'll have some music posted on a myspace page sometime at the beginning of the week?

party at my house on the 16th for matt's bday and every person ever is invited. ..and since we LOVE theme parties at the homeboy hotel, the theme is southern rock and there IS a dress code. guys: dress like an asshole. girls: dress like a redneck slut.

[ music | bauhaus ]

this is the way i live. little boy's still pushin' big wheels.

god damn, i'm paid.
i get my tax return this week and it's ridiculous! thank you, the government, for considering me technically impoverished and giving me back most of the money you quietly stole from each paycheck.
i'm getting at least one big tattoo. probably patti mayonnaise. or a morrissey portrait on my leg? decisions...

if i was ever forced to have a scene name, it would be Most Precious Jud. haha

candace moves in in 22 days!!! i'm so excited!!!

speaking of awesome.. my girl situation makes me very very happy. i'm way into it.
