A.) When that city is finished with you, i'm not so sure i'll be around to pick up the pieces. I put myself out there the exact same way you did. We're so vigilant. Maybe we need to be? I can tell you love thinking you've get me right where you want me. I'm driving this car.
b, C.) Young hearts never get until it's too late. There's nothing i can do but watch you make these mistakes. And i say that because i lived it. Just another name in a never ending list. The worst part is, I'd probably give up the world for you! It's so hard to find, you know that! blah blah blah blah blah, yeah, but i wish i were your shadow!
d, e, f, g, h, i, j, K.) It's weird feeling like you've lost something you never really had in the first place. we're not finished here.
l, m, n, o, P.) When the little things start to get to you, it's time to take that big step back. But it's all in your head. Right? Making things up just to make things worse.
q, r, S.) It was bitter sweet. Loving every minute, but knowing our time is running out. Motivation is easily lost in this position. It's time to establish a new fame!
t, u, v, w, x, y, z.

I am so fucking stoked right now. We have a family friend, a wonderful gentleman I grew up with who is now training to become a cop. Anyway, now that he is pretty much in, he was assigned to this insurance company. Blah blah blah. Long story short, i used to be paying $1250.00 every 6 months AND NOW.....i will be paying $1278 for the YEAR!
I cannot even get into how incredible this is. Im pretty much paying $106 a month for insurance. You know, as opposed to $208.
Leaving for tour soon. I am pretty excited about it. Although this tour is pretty effin long....I'll be missing everyone within the first day! drag!
sleepz.

I really wish James was coming on tour.
Everything comes together...or not, in less than a month. It's insane.

We're back in Canada.
It feels great being back in our own country. Although in the past 2 weeks I've had some of the best times ever!!
Our last night in Daytona was....one for the records. I got worked and spent sooooo much money on drinks!! Also got awesome x4 and met a crazy african dude who bought our record at an after hours bar after continually giving me money at the bar we were in earlier. Kyle was a wreck too. haha. so good!
Chicago and Michigan were my favorite shows. So many kids. And just an all around amazing vibe. There is no greater feeling than playing infront of a crowd who's never even heard of you, and making a deep enough impression that they buy a record, shirt, and or hoodie. I'm proud of what we accomplished on this tour.
Miami was incredible. As well as Pembrooke Pines. Loveloveloved it!!!
The dude in the Swellers and Fireworks are absolutely incredible. Nick and John are the most wonderful dudes ever haha.
The only shitty thing about all of this, was going from frezzing cold to nice and hot. I miss the heat already!!!!
Again, stoked to be home. I've missed a lot of people.
I'll definitely have to post some of the tour pics Kyle took once i get em.
neeeeed sleeeeeepzzzzzzzz

We made it across the Border. Thats a long scary story in itself that I probably shouldn't get into. haha.
First American tour. Pretty stoked. We're in Conneticut at the moment, then off to New Jersey tomorrow and the next day! Then South Carolina, and good ol' Florida for a handful of days!
The people in this country scare the shit out of me. We've only been here for barely a day, and we've already had 2 major run ins with massive american hicks. scary stuff. And a handful of weird other people who have some pretty weird/fucked up shit to say.
Anywho, here's hoping everything goes well! It's a new ball game out here.

OH MY GoOOooOooOOoOOOoooOD!
Yo, so anyone ready for a long one?
HERE WE GO:
I can't take this up and down roller coaster ride. It's draining the life right out of me. Literally. I can't think at times cause i hate the idea of thinking about doing other things with my life. That's right. I want one thing and one thing only. And I'm not stopping. So...wanna fight about it?
But really...it seriously burns me out hard. I almost had my big break down today actually. I had plans to meet with my Steph Bunker and her Husband Ryan who were making a nice dinner. ANYWHO, I almost didn't even go because of how bummed i was, but when i decided to go and came up and saw steph who always makes me smile, i just couldn't kick my bummed out....ness. And i can never hide it either. Then out of no where, all it took was one phone call. Then I'm back to normal. It's terrible. Up and down and up and down.
STOKED to go to the United States of America to play some music with some pretty rad bands.
GOOD NOTE: I never thought I'd ever get endorsed with anyone. HOWEVER, this past week i received a full "Top Level Artist" Endorsement deal with ERNIE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This may mean nothing to anyone, but ir's good stuff so just say "hey man, thats awesome". :) Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm.
Check this out:
BEST MOMENT OF 2007:
-MEETING ASHLEY...........loveloveloveloveloveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. .youhavenoidea.
WORST MOMENT OF 2007:
-FINDING OUT ASHLEY HAS A BF, AND BEING WAY TOO NICE OF A GUY TO FUCK THAT UP. (Although come on....y'know)
Oh, and that thing below hahahaha!!!
what else????? uhhhhh.......
these were for Monika and Ana. Part of their xmas gift:
This was 2006 but SO cute. Squishy noses.
 
remember this? HAHA!!!!!
Best Photo Shoot Ever:
Oh and uh.....well....this was also part of the best photo shoot ever:
haha. oh brother.
Im out. LIKE THIS! NOT THAT!

Last night i found out (by total fluke) that Kelly DID in fact actually fuck that kevin dude during that one summer.
SO, she lied to me. for what...about 2 years straight. Right to my goddamn face. Over and over.
And then, you get the nerve to come to my fucking house to tell me you want to get back together after all this other shit...and as i bring that situation up, i was told again that the only thing that happened was that he kissed you.....
...i guess the whole fucking part must've slipped her mind...
it makes me feel SO fucking sick to my stomach having to know this. Having to know who you really are. What you really are.
My dearest Kelly, if by chance you get to read this, i want you to know that you are the shittiest, most heartless human being that walks this green earth. And i really don't think the word slut or whore can really do justice in a situation like this.
The worst part is, I always thought there was some good left in you. Always thought there was at least one small piece of you that was sincere and true.
But now i know that doesn't exist. And if i never have to hear that name or see that vicious and disgusting face again, it'd be too soon!
you are nothing! you will never be anything more than a shitty fucking memory.

last night was our first ever video shoot.
that's so fucked to think about haha!
It was way fun! The only shitty thing about the whole ordeal was that the night before we had a show in windsor. So we had to play windsor, then drive all the way home to be in toronto for 9am. In other words, i came home at 5am. did my laundry and shit. went to bed at 6:10am. set my alarm for 6:40am.....
I was sick to my stomach from no sleep and from going crazy throughout every take. My brain felt like it was bouncing off my skull by lunch. So it got really hard to keep going. All the dudes did such an amazing job.
anywhooo....yeah...

with regards to Van Halen:
My eyes and ears witnessed something i never thought i'd ever be apart of. And i'll never be the same. We had amazing seats...got in quick....owned that merch table...and goddammit they were better than i ever thought was possible.
I wouldn't even know where to start so i won't even try!
the only thing that bummed me out, was thinking about how unbelievable they must have been in their prime if they were this good now and how i missed it cause i was way too young. like 4 years old haha.
i never thought i'd see the day Van Halen and Diamond Dave got back together. And now my life is complete. Not to say that i wanna die....cause i dont. I'm not ready for that part yet haha!
stoooooked on life.

So, we all went out for a casual night of drinks. We end up at the shittiest burlington bar ever. There is this bar band from manchester playing and the dude keeps checking out our table. Eventually the guy calls out me and kyle. Just literally comes over with his microphone and starts being like "these boys look like they are in a band". hahaha. fuckin dick. Anyway, so this dude keeps asking what band we're in, so we say we are in Shrimp Cocktail. Then the dude goes on a tangent about how Shrimp Cocktail is signed to A&M records hahaha. So we have no idea whats going on, then the guy pulls us on stage and just keeps telling us to play....by this point again, we're all just like what the fuck is happening? So long story short, kyle gets behind the drums, they give me an acoustic guitar and we start playing hahahahahaha!!!! Oh it was fucking hilarious!! We ended up doing 2 songs. A Brand new song and a taking back sunday song. And this my friends, is how Shrimp Cocktail was born. Signed to A&M records.
it was actually pretty great.
now if you 'll excuse me, I HAVE TO GO SEE VAN HALEN TONIGHT-AHHHH!!!!!!

Today was one busy ass day! Jay and I went to the t dot to pick up the guitars that our new friends at Gibson donated to us for tour. So stoked about that! haha!
We then spray painted all of our road cases. They look so tasty.
And now i also have our new record in my hands. :) They look so nice and it's so unreal that I'm finally holding a copy. Fuck, it took us forever to get our shit on track. And now it's all paying off and i'm so unbelievably proud of this!!!!
SIDE NOTE: We just got word that we are shooting our very first music video on Sunday October 14th in Toronto! So...friends....i need you all to come. We want to ram the place with people. as soon as i get more details i'll throw em up!
i'm feeling this!

These are the months where it all comes back. It's good and it's bad. Just terribly missed really.
Moving on.....again. ugh.
I've been listening to our record non-stop haha. I love it. I can't wait for the release. Or to start touring. I'm just terribly worried about touring in the winter months. Especially going out west. Nothing scarier than having your van and trailer sliding all over mountain tops and roads.
It's about time to catch some Zzz's.

i feel sick. everything always seems to fall into place, and i have enough things to keep me as stoked on life as i could ever be and now i don't know what to feel.
-the cd is halfway done, it will be done by this month, it's the best sounding cd on the planet. i can't fucking wait to drop it and for life to hopefully begin.
-i might be losing the most important person in my life...it's like this sick feeling that just keeps happening to me. You're in and then you're out. And i don't have the stomach for it anymore. I thought the last time was it. I honestly feel like breaking down but i'm holding it together. just barely.
for the first time, i just don't know what to do.
