yesterday i woke up at my house with lauren. we got dressed and walked to her house to eat. we ate laftovers from christmas and finished watching ETTGS and then watched some more Party Down, showered and then walked back to me house and ate leftover pizza and then left to walk to the show. what a shitty walk in the wind, especially carrying all the mic stands. got there early. greek favoruteis were there waiting. then ape up! showed up, then the other bands. it was a fun show, but not very profitable. greeks played first, but i didnt watch them. then ape up played and i watched most of there set. then boys and sex played and i missed there set to collect some money and play video games. then peter the piano eater played last and was really great but i only saw one or two songs really. i'm just really really burnt out on live music these days. after the show we piled 9 people into a car (i was in the trunk with the singer of ape up! and and a bunch of sleds and my snow shovel) and drove to 11th and wharton and started watching Predator 2 but then me lauren and daniele went back to there house and hung out with mary and dan, which was great cause i hadn't seen dan in a few days or mary in forever. mary/dan gave me a anice scarf for xmas too which was unexpected and nice. i went to bed pretty early after that.
tuesday i woke up and got hoagies with nick and then watched a bunch of 30 rock with nick and andy/ then took the subway over to west philly and went to perrys house. hung out there for awhile and played with his cat. then we packed up the car and went and picked up jeff in fishtown and went to the subburbs for the show. everyone was really good. bearhug (paramedic) played first and were really good. better then paramedic even. after them lighten up played and were really great too. all the new songs were awesome, and so was the gorilla biscuits cover. then sidekicks played and were awesome. like legit great. played a few new songs that were all very awesome. then spraynard ended the show and were spraynard. good set but very short. after that perry drove me home and i ate and then rode over to laurens house to go to sleep. wednesday i worked truck and it was truck. god i hate that job. after that i went home and rested for a hot minute. then luther me tony and lauren went to brooklyn for a show. got there in pretty good time. luther played first. were ya know, luther. then timeshares played and were really great. they get better everytime i see them play. then the sidekicks played again and were so incredibly great. they played all the songs that i love that they didnt play the night before, including small, and the island, but didn't play looking.then the crappy ghost robot ninja band played last but i slept through there entire set. all in all brooklyn was great. got an entire pizza and saw some friends. it did suck cause it ended up being dans last show with the band. we drove home that night and i slept the entire way home.
saturday morning we had to wake up early and go to richmond. we left around eleven in the morning. made really good time getting down there. went to jeff riddles horse farm first. was so great to see him and dookie kong. we hung out there for awhile, drank some beer and i generally pissed off a bunch of horses. after that we took jeff and went to this dumb bro bar called the starlite. ate expensive bad food and drank expensive shitty beer and got the phone number from out slutty waitress. then we went to the show and it was all around just a terrible terrible show. this si your life played first and were pretty tight but just a hardcore band. then some other touring band played and were pretty terrible. like very very bad. i only watched it to avoid the cold outside, cause we weren't allowed in the house. terrible show. then luther played to a much smaller crowd then the first two bands did. then hold tight played and were tight was well but still just a hardcoreish band and sounded like a good lifetime rip off. after that we packed up pretty quickly and drove jeff back to his farm and then we made a very long and tiresome/crappy ride home back to philly. got home around 5 thirty am and went straight to bed. slept pretty late sunday. after that i went over to laurens and watched tv with her and danielle and then we went over to ava house for leo's birthday. had a lot of fun there and got very drunk. probably to drunk. went home around 3 am. today i slept until about noon. hung out with lauren for awhile and then came home. i then hung out with dan for awhile and watched 30 Rock with him for awhile, well until he fell asleep, which he is still doing right next to me. lets see how this holiday season goes. 
yesterday we all woke up and then danielle mary dan lauren and i drove up the punk rock flea market. got in for free wich was nice. it was very overwhelming. but it was good to see lots of people. ran into perry, sean g, gay, guy, deanna, zia, josh and some other people. got a descendents button, a vitamin x poster, a subhumanz poster, and a gbh t shirt. after that we drove home and basically just hung low at laurens house. its sweet that danielle lives there now. eventually lauren had to leave to go to work, so me and dan came home and made dinner and watched some king of the hill and then both fell asleep. eventually nick phil and greg came over and hung out for a bit. then everyone left so i went over to zacks house for the show. caught one song by monument, and then saw everyone everywhere, who were good as always. hung out for a bit after the show but eventually left and came home. downloaded a bunch of music and then road over in the rain to laurens and went to bed.
wenesday I woke up incredibly early for work. after work i showered and then helped pack up the van for Luthers second show, which was at the lanes. then nick andy and i rode down in andys truck. got there very early and i got to walk around the backstage area and behind the bowling pins and stuff, which was very cool cause i had been coming to the lanes since i was in highschool. mikey lawrence was there, who is a great dude, and he got me in for free and got me three drink tokens, which were the downfall of my night, cause nick and andy both ended up not drinking as well and giving me there tokens, which resulted in me drinking 9 whiskey/coke drinks, going into the ocean, pulling my pants down in the lanes and conving big mike to drive me to flemington. anyway Luther was ok, we had free 'tshirts' for them, which was basically me writing luther on duct tape and putting on the shirt people had on. Banquets and Timeshares played somewhere after that but I was all over the place at this point and don't really remember watching them play. i do remember watching big mike play solo, which was cool, and i can't wait to get him out to philly to do a show. after that though i convinced big mike to drive me to flemington cause i thought that would be a good idea, which was not. ended up only having one dollar to give him (oof), then had to break into a window in the kitchen to get in, then ended up emptying all my pockets in the kitchen and taking off all of my clothes in the kitchen as sort of a warning to my parents that i was there. then went to bed. they woke up very confused why my door was open and why the dogs were barking then saw my pile of stuff (which was basically, almost all of my wet clothes, a water bottle, a bunch of drink tokens, buttons, a rubber bat toy, a dvd of They Saved Hitlers Brain, a strip of photo booth pictures, a disposable camera and other things). 
friday i woke up and went straight to work. got home around 5, showered and watched the new Office with andy. then went over to laurens and ate tacos and drank vodka with her dan and mary. after that I went over to the show i booked. pete and tim were there already when i got there, and we watched king of the hill videos on youtube, check it out cause it's funny. then more people began showing up. glad the posters were actually made this time, but i sat at the table all night and didn't sell any, and only like two people even took them for free. oh well, just a poor investment. the show went well though, asides from it just being friends there who didn't want to pay me. Ceasefire were first and were good as always, then Great Explainer played. after that SteveHitMike played and it was awesome to see them finally, and it especially ruled to hear 'Me and My Liver' full band. then The Ruining played and I watched from the stairs behind then band with steveo and greg. they were good, i honestly only really knew the songs because they had been practicing in my basement for the last month. after that lauren didn't feel to swell so we basically just left and went to her house and went to bed. it's funny cause i was the one who ended up throwing up all night. i blame the vodka One Win Choice gave me.
Planet Terror, and suprisingly she stayed awake for the entire thing and enjoyed it. after that we watched some Saturday Night Live downstairs and then Hoarders. then suprisingly to my I found out there was no room for me to come to trenton for the last Ruining show. I was pretty bummed about that, but whatever. i made some dinner for myself and watched an episode of 30 Rock and then went over to zacks house for the show. Watertowers were pretty good. Greek Favourites were tuned down so they sounded metaly. Choke Up were pretty heavy and people were enjoying them. honestly though the only band i watcheded entirely was Captain Were Sinking, even though they played the only who songs i know first, but they did close with Linoleum cover. also, people were losing there SHIT during capt, it was nuts. after the bands i hung out for a few more hours and partied. around1 i went home and watched more 30 Rock waiting for lauren to get out of work and come over. The Cardinal Sin - Eye Opener
we went to her house and took a nap. then i walked home and hung out there. bunch of people came over, including phil, tom, greg, greg, danielle, vinny and maybe some other and all of my roommates. we drank..a lot, and watched king of the hill and just hung out. andy nick dan and phil recorded Luther demos all night. i waited up real late for lauren to come over and sleep over. saturday i woke up and me and lauren watched Get Him To The Greek, which was pretty good. after that she went home and I went to work at the coffee shop. danielle and greg b came and visited me at work for like 4 hours. I burned ALL of the Luther demos at work that day and wrote on everyone one and stuffed them all in there sleves with inserts. took me awhile but worth it (they look like crap). after work i went home then to dads haus for the show. missed the first band, but got there in time for Luthers first show. they were okay. i've heard them play like 17 times already. after them Timeshares and Great Explainer played but I didn't watch them really. i walked to a store to get beer with greg b mary and adrian. ended up getting way to drunk. after the show i went to J&Js pizza with amanda mary and augusta. put my two extra pizza slices in my jacket pockets, rode home a different way then the people I was with (which led them to believe i was in an accident), got home, forgot to get andy pizza, apologized, asked him to buy me a pie from dominos, told lauren to come over when she was out of work, went upstairs, locked me door and passed out with pizza in my pockets. sunday i woke up to a mess downstairs and connor greg k and mattvan still down there watching Waynes World 2. eventually lauren came over and her, dan mary andy and amanda and i and greg k walked to melrose diner fo breakfast, which ended up being some sort of a shitshow where me and greg spent the entire breakfast trying to make andy sick. after that we went back to my house watched some of the Office then i went to work at the coffee shop again. Lauren came and suprise visited me for a little bit and before i left to go home arik came by and hung out for a little bit. after work i went home, got laurens car and drove up to the fire to see The Measure [sa]. it was a terribly attended show. fid said mid set that when they "normally play in philadelphia it's right in front of dennis breaking his glasses". that was probably one of my more favorite 'shoutouts' ever. Omar and Worn In Red played too and were both pretty good. after the show i hung out there with patO for a bit and ate pizza. eventually drove back to laurens and slept there. yesterday (monday) i walked home in the morning and just hung out at home all day. watched a lot of Parks and Recreations and made a picture on my computer to print out and hang up in the house (which i did). 
eventually nick dan and phil came home and we drank and played golden eye. eventually andy came home and I took the Luther band photos for them when there photographer bailed. we did it in nicks shower. they came out bad, but they used them. after that we all watched the premiere of Conan, which was fanfuckingtastic. after that we watched Russel Brand stand up comedy which ended up being pretty ok then i sorta passed out on the couch and then went up to bed. today I had off again and wasn't sure what to do with my day. so I began to watch The Brady Bunch Movie then i was called to cover a shift at the coffee shop, said yes, finished my movie then went to performance to buy new tires since i kept gettng flats and then rode to work after hanging out with lauren for awhile. while at work young jok came by and fixed my laptop then later on reuben and arik and one of his roommates came by and hung out for awhile. and here I am now. wonder what life is going to be like the rest of this week
sunday i woke up late, went to oregon diner with lauren then we went to some random stores then went back to her house and napped until about 4, when i went home and watched the office with mary and scott why luther practiced. then met lauren at her house and rode to the fire for another awesome show. finally got to meet the guys in carpenter, who were all fucking awesome. everyone everywhere opened up the show, and they ruled, and they rule for getting me into the show for free. then carpenter played, and were awesome as well, high kicks included. then laura stevenson played, and i didn't watch her at all, i just sat at the bar with lauren arik and talked to pat o as he bar tended. then cheap girls played and i didn't watch them either. didnt drink much at the show, but after wards i rode home and ordered 5 pizzas and andy bought a bunch of beer and carpenter gave us a bunch of jargermeister and i drank that and rum and beer and ate pizza and we hung out all night long and had a great time.
thursday i worked and after work i rode home in the rain and it sucked a lot. ate pizza and watched south park with andy then went over to the acoustic show. got there while madaline was playing. she was okay. she's just like a notch below laua stevenson or hop along in my opinion. then kite party played acoustic, didn't dig it at first but grew on me. then three man cannon played acoustic and it was alright, but they unfortunately totally blew a mountain goats cover of no children. total bummer. then some weird band played. then tom may played, did a dead kennedys cover, i messed him up by switching the order of the lyric sheets he printed out for that song (*note, by this point of the show everyone was very drunk, but it was only like 9). the rest of his songs were great, did some old acoustic menzos songs no one hears anymore. then greg barnett played, was also very good, played a bunch of really great new songs and then played my friend chris and i was born (also decided it was okay to laugh during the "i didn't do it" part of my friend chris and to sing the end of my friend chris over him during the end of i was born (im an asshole)). after that we hung out for awhile, there were tons of people there, lots of friends, lots of great food, ate pasta and cupcakes and brownies. it was a very cozy show. could of been something great if it wasn't ruined with the 48 natty bo's me and tom bought. after the show i went home to my house with lauren and went to sleep. friday i worked a longer shift, but after work i picked up my new glasses! then went home, showered and went to see JACKASS 3D with lauren!!!!!!!!!! and it was fucking amazing.
wenedsay i worked again and blah blah blah. after work i went home and watched more office, then met briand at black bird pizza for some dinner. after that i went to the litterbox for a show. all pretty good bands, got to see ltos of people, overall pretty good night. went back to my house with lauren and watched some MORE office, but fell asleep while watching.
saturday i worked a double. opened at cvs and trained some new kids there until about one, went home and showered and then closed at the coffee shop. will mcandrew came down and visited me at work. and then zack schwarz and jp came and visited too. after work i went to siri's tattoo shop and me and josh got tattooed and then went to manny browns then went and checked out zack and jp's new house, which is fucking awesome, and then after that went home and fell asleep for a little bit then went over to laurens house.
