Welcome the blog, fellas. I'll be updating this as daily as possible. Nothing special about this blog. No news stories(maybe, but nothing crazy), no celebrity gossip, and no sassafras. This blog will typically be split into sections, none of which I know.
I hate not having obscene amounts of money. It makes me want to sell my old stuff to get new stuff, so that I can be one step closer to having obscene(more than $400 for no specific reason) amounts of money at all times.
List of things I most likely will sell:
-My old(and only) tenor sax
-hybrid and set of shafts for a full set of irons(golf stuff)
-Semi-hollow electric guitar
-Laptop
-Infinity car speakers
-Crappy old bass guitar which I never use
-Kala concert ukulele(my first serious and electric/acoustic ukulele)
List of crap I want to buy:
-Macbook Pro(I don't think I can handle the whomp-iness of the regular macbook or macbook air)
-Audio editing/MIDI program
-Synthesizer which can act as a MIDI controller as well
-New Melodica
-Mixer
-1 mic for guitar, 1 mic for ukulele, and 1 mic for vocals/talkbox
-Something to record microphones
-new strings for acoustic guitar and concert ukulele, new nut and strings for tenor ukulele
List of crap I'm going to do within the next year or two:
- Gathering on March 14th at 2pm on the Huntington Beach Pier. Bill(Doctor Noise) and Monica(from the shortsisters) shall be there at 2pm. I'll be in Ventura until 1pm, watching the parade go by and waiting for Todd(Toddly00) to get off work so we can head over there as well. Yall are welcome to join!
- Playing a show the day before Azkatraz as a guest guitarist for an old friend's band. After that, I'll be off to Azkatraz and then Comic Con soon after. All in the early part of July I believe.
- During summer semester, change my major from Economics/Marketing to either Music/Marketing or Music/Communications
- Annual post-Christmas snowboarding trip with the guys. Hopefully we'll have a big trip with everybody this year as well. We missed it in the 08/09 season. Too much stupid drama between friends. Incredibly stupid drama between friends. Past the point of ridiculous. Sometimes I just want to punch them in the face and tell them to get over it. It's crazy how I'm not even involved in it and I have to hear it from other people because the people who are fighting are completely ignorant and can't even tell me exactly what happened without throwing in 4 tons of opinions against 3 lbs of fact.
- Most importantly...England! Excited to meet Becky, loze around through England(which, besides Germany and Amsterdam, is the only place in Europe I'd like to visit), and drink in a bar/pub. Mainly, it's traveling for a week or two (mostlikely) by myself(maybe with a friend) out of California, with nothing on my mind but...nothing.
I felt like shoving everything into lists because my mind is just everywhere right now and I tend to wander off in paragraphs. I think the punctuation shows that as well. There aren't any typos in this post, I know that. As far as grammar goes, I think I did poorly, but I don't really care.

Meme section!
Today's meme is from Alan Lastufka(fallofautumndistro). You can find his blog here....or maybe back there. Yea, definitely back there.
1. List one book you think everyone should read this year. (if you mention my book for brownie points, please list a second book as well)
The Hunger Games
2. What is your favorite thing about your hometown?
You can catch the sunrise pretty well from here.
3. Incorrectly complete these Fall Out Boy lyrics: "This ain't a scene, it's a(n) _____________" (be creative)
This ain't a scene, it's a u-ku-le-le.
4. What would you title your autobiography and how many pages would it be?
Don't Take This Pen To Paper: Take That One, 42 pages.
5. What was the best Christmas gift you've received? (ages 15 and under, adult Christmas gifts don't count)
A conga drum from my ex.
6. What's one new thing you learned this week? (they say you learn something new every day, so you should have a few things to choose from)
Apparently, listening to baloney about chakras and auras in a "fitness and nutrition" class(our whole class is about chakras and auras apparently) really gets my songwriting juices flowin. I think actively attempting to sneakily ignore something gets my brain working like a damn machine.
7. Open Skype/G-Chat/AIM and type "how's my favorite friend who I haven't chatted with today?" to someone you haven't chatted with at all today. This item isn't a question, just a polite demand to let someone know you were thinking of them.
Ironically, before I got to the meme section of my blog, I did this...sort of.
8. Tell me one really proud moment from your life. (be specific)
It'd have to be the time I met up with my friends(I had their girlfriends and sandwiches in my vehicle) in the desert and decided to take my semi-brand new car out for a little off-roading. It really was a random decision and it's one I won't regret. Seeing as how I suck at riding dirtbikes, it's really cool to find out that I'm not that bad at driving on dirt.
9. Tell me one really embarrassing moment from your life. (be specific)
One time I looked at my phone after my ex(while we were together)and my best friend's girlfriend were messing with it. I noticed they changed the background, and maybe stared at the background for maybe like, 5 minutes until they finally broke laughter and told me it was my best friend's berries. So that day I basically spent 5 minutes staring at my best friend's bollocks.
10. Have you owned something for way too long... something you know you should get rid of or replace, but can't? If so, what and why?
My old drumset. It was my very first(and currently only) drumset and it's now way beyond repair. I don't have the money to buy a new one(yet), and I don't want to be drum-less. It's also the drumset I used when I was in a ska band.
11. Fill in the blank: Other than this one, _____ is the last blog I commented on.
none? It's been a while since I blogged or had an account with a blogging website.
12. Do you have any scars? Tell me about one of them.
I've got a scar along my left arm that's about 6 inches long. When I was about 12 or 13, I fell off of a bed. A normal bed, no bunk bed or anything like that. I somehow ended up breaking my arm so bad that I needed a plate and pins for a year. This also marks the beginning of my fear of pills and minor fear of modern medicine. When they first put in the pins, it hurt real bad, so I used to crush up the pills and put it in ice cream. Back in my even younger days, I had choked on the first 2 pills I tried, so I always prefered not to attempt to swallow them whole. Basically, I would take the pills, go to sleep, wake up, and 10 minutes later, take more pills and repeat. I felt like I missed so much out of life from sleeping all day(mind you I was beginning to get used to my insomnia at the time) that I pretty much thought I could easily just sleep all day and not do anything with the help of pills. It drilled into my head so hard that a year later, when they took out the pins, I dealt with the pain naturally. The pain was bad enough to keep my awake for 3 straight days, laying on a couch. I think for those 3 days the most I moved was an extremely sluggish walk to the bathroom.
13. I say "this is not tom", you say:
A. Who the eff is Tom?
B. Thank god, Tom sucks!
C. Oh, I love staring at page source code all day and solving riddles!! <3 style="font-weight: bold;">E. Where the hell is Tom. I need to slap him for taking hours upon hours of my life away just to tell me that some random guy is not Tom.
14. What do you get complimented on the most? (your looks, your creativity, your impressive collection of black santa figurines)
For those who don't know me well or IRL, I either get complimented on my "cute"ness (which I don't understand) or my music.
For those who actually DO know me, I get compliments about how zany and ridiculous I can be.
15. Paste a link here to your favorite picture online:
No joke, this is one of the greatest pictures I have ever seen

Lyrics of the day:
If I were God, I'd destroy all religion
Abolish all the visions
And leave the world in love
And I'll probably take you up, with me
You Were - Julia Nunes

But what’s one more? Yeah, let me go.
Let me suffer nice and slow.
The pack is watching patiently.
Stand in line to wait and see.
A Welcome Vacation - Julia Nunes

That girl can't dance
she's just embarrassing herself
Look at her friends,
they're slowly edging away, because
That girl can't dance
and I think someone should tell her
but I won't tell her
Girl Can't Dance - Eddplant
