Do you smoke grass? Or astro turf?

Alright well today I woke up at my friend's house, my dad came and picked me up
and then we went to lunch at this restaurant. There we waited a bit, it wasn't
that long. Anyways we sat down and our waitress asked us what we wanted and I
looked at her and instantly lost my breath. I felt like one of those men in a movie
when they see a beautiful woman, and hearts are all around him and then I snap out of it
and realize, "Woah, did she see those hearts all around me, was I too obvious?"
Anyways then I made the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. I didn't ask her out.

Now I know I might have not gotten her number, but at least I would have known.
And the sad thing is she seemed to like me too, but I mean she's a waitress, it's
her job to be nice to her customers right? But I don't know, it seemed like one of
those weird "you just know" connections. Well at least I know her name and where
she works, so not all is lost. But I just don't feel right asking her out at her work.
Just in case I get her in trouble or even worse, fired.

All I know, is she is the most beautiful girl I've EVER seen.

If you can talk, you can sing. It doesn't matter who you are, or what you sound like. Singing is about expressing yourself, and no matter who you are, you can express yourself. A lot of people think that people who don't sound good when they sing can't sing at all. That is a common misconception. A singer is there

Neil Young
John Lydon (Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols)
Bob Dylan
Joey Ramone
Bruce Springsteen
Leonard Cohen
Johnny Cash

and so many more

They're great singers with non-traditional good singing voices
But they're some of the most influential and biggest names in Music
Next time you hear a guy/girl expressing themselves by singing, don't make fun of him/her, encourage them!
More good will come of encouraging someone than putting them down!

Alright, this is a rant. A rant against stupid bands on MySpace
I won't list any of the bands MySpaces on here, but they know who they are.

Alright lets start with the band's quote. (Located to the Top right of the Profile Photo)
It's so unappealing when a band's quote is "Getting Rid of Terrible Music Since [Year Here]" or "Bigger than the Beatles" or "Fucking Awesome". Anything along those lines is ridiculous and you're really showing how cocky and stupid you are.

Alright now the Profile Picture.
Alright, let's start with the infamous "standing on a railroad" band photo. I've found that a lot of Metal bands have been doing this lately. Why is a METAL band doing this? Shouldn't you be off in a field looking angry somewhere? I can understand when a Country or Rockabilly band does this, considering one of their music's biggest subjects is TRAINS, but Metal? Sorry try again. Another popular photo Ive seen is a band standing in an alleyway or in front of a wall covered in graffiti to make yourself look Urban. I don't even understand how that makes a band look cool. Anyways I'm done with the profile photos.

Alright when a band makes like fake instruments or roles (eg. Anthony Plant - Lead Guitar, Beer Chugging Champion) it makes you look retarded. I mean does his beer chugging skills have anything to do with the band? No. So why do people that? Is it funny? How many people can honestly say they laughed at that? Not many. And if you did you're just encouraging them to be even more stupid.
That's all I have to say about the Band Members section.

Now Sounds Like. I skipped Influences because if you fucked that up then you shouldn't even be allowed to use the internet (Simple put down the things that influence you). Now Sounds Like is always the one that gets the most beatings by stupid bands. Things like this "An Orgasm of Sound", "[Your Band's Name Here]", "Best Fucking Band Ever", "The Future of Music" etc. etc. Now seriously. That does not help the person who's reading your profile one bit. Is what you put actually helpful? If people don't know what you sound like the chances are they won't give you a chance. If your friend invited you to go see a concert and you asked what type of music would be playing and they said "The Best Music Ever", would that help your decision on going? I don't think so. So think about what you sound like and then you might actually get some more listeners that way.

Now the Blogs. This is a recipe for disaster. A stupid band + a Blog = A bunch of shit not worth reading. Alright so I've seen this in some band's MySpaces, and it's sickening really. Most to All the blogs are rants about how your band is better than everyone else's or how your band is declaring a "musical war" on another band (Yeah, I literally saw that on someone's blog). A lot of other things I've seen are just rants about "the man" and the superficiality of the music industry. They're not being superficial against you. They're just being smart and not signing a stupid and probably shitty band.

Alright I don't have much to say about the Biography section, but here it goes. I've read some band's biographies on their MySpace and it was just either boring or hard to read. Most of these band's problems were there were no paragraph breaks and it's about three times longer than it needs to be. I don't want to hear about your day to day life. Just include the facts that are important to the band's history. None of this "The next day we went to the park" shit. Just the FACTS that are IMPORTANT.
I'm so sick and tired of reading long and overdrawn band biographies. And seriously if your band writes their own songs than you should have a writer. GET HIM/HER TO WRITE THE BIOGRAPHY. Is it so hard for 3,4 or 5 people to figure out that the WRITER of the group should do the WRITING. But I'm going to move on before I start ranting.

Now the only problem I have with a band's MySpace friends is if they're one of these rather common STUPID BANDS

Thanks for Reading, Hope Someone Learned Something

Hey, last blog I posted was a long time ago! So here's a new one

I am 16 years old, but everyone I meet thinks I am a lot older (One woman even guessed 24, which is a really terrible guess haha), but I usually get people thinking Im 19 or 20 years old. Now my friend is the exact opposite. She's 19 but a lot of people think she's 15 or 16 (but she's really pretty, so who cares?). I had been looking at pictures of me 2 years ago, when I had gone to Minnesota, and I laughed at how young I looked (and what a goof I looked like). That was the summer that I had a HUGE growth spurt that shot me up to being 6 feet (I'm 6 foot 2-3 inches now) and I started becoming and looking like a man and not like a boy.

The point of this story is Puberty. That is all

So the Jaywalkers have been writing a lot and we've got a bunch of songs that are just great
Ive never felt better about my artistic side EVER. I love how much Im writing.
Im working on a song that when I tell people what its about, they are shocked and violated haha.
But the good thing is they think my rhyming is ingenius and that it is REALLY good.

It's about a Frog and a Princess who were such great friends, but the frog wants to get into
the princess's pants and the only way that's possible is to get her drunk. So he gets her
drunk and she kisses him and he turns into a Prince named Pierre (but he still has some
"froggy" aspects to him). So they fuck. In the end they turn out to be brother and sister.

Shocked? Violated? Turned on a little?

Thats what I thought
 

Well anyways I'm in a band called The Jaywalkers
and they recently got back together. Which makes me pretty happy.
We started work on two of my original songs.

And I'm in this other band, that doesnt have a name, and its a lot like
Theory of a Deadman's style. Really fun band and guys to jam with.

But most recently I started an acoustic project with my buddy, RJ.
A bunch of songs for his ex girlfriend and one of our best friends
that passed away a couple months ago. It's a tribute to her memory =)
We even have a 9 song setlist already made
The songs are:

Banana Pancakes - Jack Johnson
The Weight - The Band
Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan
She Talks to Angels - The Black Crowes
Here Today - Paul McCartney
Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apperatus
Helena - The Misfits
Trench Town Rock - Bob Marley
Walkin' with a Ghost - Tegan and Sara

It'll be a fun project and also a great feeling dedicating our
performance to her memory =)

Rest in Peace Cassandra, we will never forget you =) <3
 

So yesterday I got the chance to go see Sex Drive
This movie really surprised me, I thought it was going to be pretty bad
but it was actually a really good movie. It was funny but also
was very sweet and it touched my heart haha.
James Franco and Seth Green were absolutely great
Every scene they were in was absolutely hilarious
They absolutely made the movie

After seeing this movie I am in love with Amanda Crew.

Alright I'd just like to say Hi to everyone on Livejournal
I post in my blog religiously so I hope this will stick and keep me interested when
Im not working or out doing stuff haha.
Well anyways stick around and read some of my blogs
A lot of people say theyre insightful and fun to read
So I hope you all think so too

Have a Nice Day :)
