sunday was an awesome night. i brought the game "circle of death" to my fellow blast percussionists and to the two girls that have been hanging out with us while we've been in thousand oaks, california. this has ended up being a really fun group of people, and we hit it hard on sunday night. no regrets ( Read more... )

ya know what? i had a great act II today. act one kinda sucked, but that was mostly because someone sabotaged my hi-hat clutch. that's the third or fourth time that's happened on tour and if i find out who's responsible then he'll be sleepin' with the fishes, see?! and if that doesn't work i might have to kill 'em. anyway, intermission was ( Read more... )

i haven't updated in so long that i don't know where to begin. i can't really update about my christmas break because there's too much to tell and it was too long ago now. the sad thing is that it was only 3 weeks ago, but tour makes that seem like a long time. sufficed to say, i am now in a relationship with kelly knowlson...as much as you can ( Read more... )

alright. the most rewarding thing about the gig is still the fact that we meet people in the lobby after the show and they have truly enjoyed it. young guys and girls that play drumset come up and say how much it amazed them to watch us play. it's great ( Read more... )

i have eaten too much junkfood in the past two days. this needs to stop. this is a cry for help. ok, not really, i'll just stop eating the junkfood. i can stop whenever i want.......i don't have a problem.........

ok, so the tour thing is starting to get a little hairy. i am really starting to miss being around real friends. not that i don't have friends here on tour....i've met a lot of people that i really enjoy and i am thankful for it. but they're not real friends-- and the troubling thing is, i don't think they want to be. i think the majority of ( Read more... )

today i bought some small articles of clothing to delay doing laundry one or two more days. this is what my life has become. i don't even care. i'm so happy that we have a psudo-day-off tomorrow while we travel to iowa...i might just raise up, take my shirt off, and swing it around my head like a helicopter ( Read more... )
