give it up for being fucking old.
today was honestly the best birthday i've had since i was a kid.
woke to a lot of text messages and missed calls/voicemails. made me feel really good.
hung out with lizz all day. saw my pops. my mom got me a cake.
touche amore played with fake problems in whittier. the show was really fun. seeing those kids makes me remember how awesome people who aren't from california are.
we played a new song tonight, we played it first.. it's about my birthday, i'll post the lyrics for the fuck of it.
so this is twenty five
a quarter century spent on wasting time
nineteen eighty three had it in for me
i am my father's son
growing up we swore we'd be young forever
4 best friends who hoped to die together
our tired eyes was the only curfew we knew
not knowing what the future would put us through
_______________________________________________________
back story: I havent done a single thing to prepare for adulthood. I couldn't get married or begin to start a family if I tried. I had 3 best friends in High school. One currently has a 3 or 4 year old (we dont keep in touch) and the other got Married TODAY. I missed his wedding because I sing in a hardcore band. I'm still undecided whether I'm miserable or happy about how different all our lives are.

So now that I sing in a band, I have to obviously write lyrics.
We have 8 songs done, and I have 7 of them written.
I have enjoyed what I've written so far, but I always feel I can do better.
Tonight, I wrote my favorite lyrics I've ever written, so I'm posting them here.
_________________________________________________
I said that I’d never be the same
Possibly for impact, but possibly for certain
I also said I’d never know another you
But fate has been making me a liar
I blame it on the Golden State
My heart lies in Los Angeles,
I think it just needs the attention.
__________________________________________________
and for good measure... the other lyrics.
1)
This city is trash, and it's always moving
It's clientèle represents hell
Buy your way in, sell yourself short
Buy, Sell, Buy Sell
2)
Take this time to remember what we've done and what we've accomplished
I dont want to be known regrettably
I'd prefer a coffin to a shoe box and the ocean to dirt and rocks
I'd prefer to sink miles deep than have this opened again
I'm a time capsule that never had much of a soul
Smooth the soil, burn the maps, I'm not ever coming back
Bury me.
3)
We've got a message and we don't need signs and followers
We've got a message; "you're all fucked"
We're not in Kansas anymore
There's a place reserved in Hell
You're going to fit in just fine
Take that book you've read so wrong
Stop making it your own
Learn to be a human being, and show some compassion
All cults end, take a page from Jonestown
Drink every drop, let none be wasted
We'd love to see you in the ground.
4)
I've got a decent proposition to all the "artists" of Silverlake
The deal is all stop singing when you stop making the music you make
We're part of a dying movement
But at least we've got something to say
The words are, "we're in shambles, due to those who lost their way"
Now I understand there's a lure to fitting a certain mold
But bands dropping off the conveyor belt is getting fucking old
So tell all the Lo-Fi rockers, this is a Hi-Definition resent
And tell Karen O herself to get on her knees and repent.
5)
This was never your decision to make
I still have love, but it's in a different place
You may consider this my fall from grace
But had nothing to do with how I was raised
You did all that you could, with the best intent
But some things in this world are just not meant to grow
I'm still your child, but not one of his.
6)
No lyrics yet
7)
new lyrics
8)
Scene is to be seen
So save your parents money because the parking lot is free
If you can hear us outside
(we hope you fucking die)
You'll always be on the outside

I have a lot of tour stuff to put up.. pictures, stories, etc.
but I sang a song with I Am The Ocean every night because their singer couldnt make the tour.. as did Kevin and Bob. Here's a video of me doing their song "Scribble Jack" in Great Falls, Montana.

I love washington.
The tour has been great so far. we've made a ton of new friends. We're currently at Kevin's house again for the next day or two living it up. We played Seattle last night and it was great. Tonight we're plaing Tri-Cities and tomorrow Spokane. I love knowing we're not going to be home till May. I have so much more to look forward to!
We signed to a label called Guevara out of Norcal to release an EP of all the songs we've recorded thus-far. We're stoked on it. It's run by great and honest people.
I'm happy =)

so its my goddamn birthday and these lyrics fit the situation better than anything:
I’m young enough to be all pissed off
But I’m old enough to be jaded.
I’m of the age where I want things to change
But with age my hopes have faded.
I’m young and bored of being young and bored –
If I was old I could say I’d seen it all before.
More importantly. Tour Starts Sunday!! see ya in May motherfuckerrrrrrrrrrs

all i got is my band and my debt.
all i care about is touring and fuck the rest.
everyone is too busy or doesn't care (minus maybe a very tiny select few).
i got a phone full of numbers with no one to call.
i say things then choke on my words and hate that i wasted the effort.
all girls are shady.. some are just a darker shade.
my birthday is around the corner then im gone practically the entire month of april.
good riddance.

Dear 2007,
Isn't it a bit early for me to hate you so much?

My sleep schedule no longer exists. I'm two steps from a coma most of the time, but I'm takin it with a smile on my face.
I'm at cecilia's right now, she just got out of the shower and im super amped to get some food. I'm starving.
Thriller's show at the Glasshouse ruled, and next week our friends in Me And Him Call It Us are coming to tour CA w/ us and I couldnt be more excited. If anyone who reads my lj cares, try and come to any of the shows because they rule.
Saw P.O.S. on Friday night and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. That man has so much heart.
This is a pointless entry, I'm just killing time.
Listen to Hot Cross.

No place to hide if you're locked in your mind right?
You ever feel like you've got a closet to clean?
You can't find the key, you look but you lost the damn thing
You ever feel you know exactly where the fuck it is, But don't want to see?
Yea, me too
I don't care where, just far right?
I'm escape personified
Drop the P from pride and hop in my car
Just drive far

I like 2007. I feel a lot of changes. I feel content. Though I'm way sick right now, seems like everyone else is too. I had strep throat last week and was on penicilin, it was stupid.
I'm stoked for movies this year: Reno 911: Miami, Grindhouse (on my birthday!), Spiderman 3, Hot Fuzz, Zodiac, The Messengers, Smokin Aces, 300, so many more!
Albums: Hot Cross, Trap Them, Bayside, Bright Eyes, The Weakerthans, Minus The Bear, Say Anything.
Bandwise, i really feel like this is the year. I'm playing at the Glasshouse in Pomona this Saturday. I've always wanted to play there, it's been a dream.. so now its happening! Thats a small step, but I feel very lucky. We're getting a new van this week or next. We'll be touring a lot. We're playing South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin this summer. We're hoping for an East Coast run as well. We're holding out labelwise waiting for the right move. I feel so lucky to be apart of what I am. I love my band more than life, they're my family. We just finished a small run with The Jonbenet, American Black Lung, & Blues. The last night of the tour was in Santa Cruz and it was really fun. I was molested by a swarm of young girls grinding on me and grabbing my junk. I told a girl she owed me dinner and she thought I was asking her on a date. Dumb.
One of the changes I feel is about shows and punk rock in general. I no longer care if I miss a show because I'm so over everything. Hardcore is about as exciting to me as fast food hamburgers. I'll take it in then feel sick after. I want to find the next band to change my life.
My love life is sort of jumbled, but I'm feeling safe about it. I figure what happens happens and I got a lot on my plate as it is, so I'll just keep my head up.
There's an update, ya!
