So I just finished doing my taxes for the year and I went outside to my car to get a stamp for the envelope. On my way back inside I checked the mail to see if there is anything cool for me. Well there wasn't but there was a credit card application. I never look at them because I get about 5000 a year and I dont want/need a credit in my life. I have my Guitar Center card : ) and that is all I need. But I decided to check this one over and see what they have to say. Well first off they want to give me a Chase Manhatten Bank Platnum Visa with a $100,000 limit. An amount like that can be summed with one easy movement, my jaw crashing to the floor. Ontop of the limit they are gonna put a 1.99% APR on it and no annual fees. Do these know who I am? I love to buy things, spend money, but I am no fool. Credit is a dangerous game my friends and if you just stumble into it like a kid in a candy store you are bound to get your ass reemed. That is just insane. $100,000. Do you know what I ...

So here is the story I'm sitting around, doing the late night "I'm bored so I will look through all the 'people who are on my buddy list but dont know it' profiles and see whats shaking in the world. I find a link my buddy Chris (singer for my old band AKA) to his girlfriend's art webpage. I like art and dig photography so hell I can check this monkey business out. Turns out she has a Liquid Bliss (the band that formed in the ruins of AKA after I moved back to Iowa) video and I thought, hell I miss seeing these wacky guys I'll watch it. The video is pretty hilarious. Three kids from Michigan being dorks (which answers why they were my friends) in front of a camera and talking about their band. Hell I was even mentioned a couple times. It's a pretty good video but I have one major problem. They talk about "Fun Dip Cool Aid" and man if there is one original thought I have had on this Earth, that is it. Back in 8th grade I saved all my gatorade...

So I wasn't going to go see the Warped Tour this year but than the Sounds signed up and and hell if I am gonna pass up seeing them. I got a regular list rocking here. wanna see it? Alkaline TrioAquabatsBig D and the Kids TableNOFXRise AgainstThe SoundsTaking Back SundayThursdayThe Vandals those are the ones I most looking forward to seeing this summer. Hopefully a date will work otu where I can see all of them. But probably not. I mainly just want to see The sounds. So whatever date of theirs works out best for me, I am going. word. Later yo.

So I just watched Stigmata and I gotta say the fact that the catholic church doesn't recognize certain gospels is BS. While I guess I can understand the fact if you just recognize everything you come along you could be getting a whole lot of bogus stuff but I mean shouldn't they atleast put these Gospels out for the public to make their opinion? That movie on the other hand was pretty... ok. They needed to kick out the love story and just go with the dogmatic shit. I know, I know, religion wont sell in Hollywood but come on you're doing a movie with an Arquette, is that gonna sell? So kick that love shit out and just run with the wierdness. Hell, The Exorcist didn't have any love shit besides a priest who loved his mom. Whatever. See that flick and make your own opinion. On a semi-related note, I went to church for the first time in three months tonight. Never been to this church, so as my mom likes to say "make a wish." The priest was a native of ireland...

Except for my new Record (as in vinyl) player, every gift I got this christmas from my extended family can fit in one pocket. I am not upset about it, hell I love gift cards, I just find it dang funny. But let's forget about that, let's get down to the brass tax. LOVE SONGS who fuckin needs them anymore. I mean nobody is writing anything new. We have rock guys saying the girl is a bitch, or they are in love, or they ruined everything and want her back. We have chicks calling us guys assholes for ruining their lives. We have Rap stars talking about straight up sex and fuck that whole love thing. We have R&B singers who cant string anything original together all and last but not least we have country singers just creeping us out. Now I am not saying I am exempt from writing bad love songs, hell I have written more than my share but seriously what the crap is going on! You know what is ruining it? All this god damn, half ass emo. Some executive at a record label heard We...

Seriously, I haven't updated this page in forever, and you know what? I dont care. Seriously for the last month I have been thinking my BS-ing is ridiculous and I dont care if you people care. I am reading books and have all these new opinions but I dont feel like sharing them right now. If you really care email me and maybe I will update this page this weekend with more rubbish. Right now I am gonna go watch some Holiday fun. Have a good one. PS I am in a great mood, I just dont want to update this page in this point in time.

Whats up, Not much here. I am just chillin out rockin the intranet. You know what I love most about having a job now? It's the idea that I can stroll around the net looking at musical gear and think about things I want and now that I have a job I can actually purchase these things. Infact a few things I am considering buying include a moog, some new pickups for one of my guitars and just random this and thats for recording purposes. So I am listening to North To Alaska, I don't understand why these guys broke up. They released this EP called "Everything right now" and I think it rocked. Needed some compression on the vocals, some remixing, and what not but I dug it. Quality rock n roll. Hey remember that test I mentioned? The Eut, the test I needed to pass to stay in the Journalism program here at ISU? Well I didnt pass it. Yeah, that was my last allowable attempt and you need a C to pass, I got a C-. That shit sucks. So tomorrow I am meeting with my advisor and i...
