i would be the sunlight in your universe

i hate falling behind on this thing. not like a lot of ppl read it or anything, but i feel like im letting myself down if i dont re-cap and think out loud on here. what i was saying in the older post that got deleted by some blog hating internet pirates was that lauren and i have been eating a lot of raw foods lately. raw food diets basically include any foods that have not been cooked or processed. i suggest going to www.rawguru.com ok thats the jist of that... lots of other things too but now my mind has been flooded with new more recent happeneings.

just went to the jersey shore with my fam. it was a nice end of the summer getaway save for the fact that it was raining for like 72 hours. i also went to my first racetrack in monmouth. not as much fun as gambling in vegas. i was just picking the horses with the best names or one that magically kinda sorta meant something to me. didnt win. not a single penny. so that was fun, lauren was there my 2 brothers and their fiances. the rents, etc.

i think we're supposed to be filming a video before we leave, which is sep 3, but as of this minute nothing is known about what song, where this will take place, and who wil be directing it. that makes me very anxious and kind of nervous. you HAVE to shoot a video before your record comes out!

lauren starts her first day as a full time employee of her gallery tomorrow. im so proud of her.

i have so many things to do this week, it gives me a headache thinking about them. i hope to do as many as i can tomorrow. i have to get fitted for a tuxedo for my friend shawns wedding. im excited because i get to wear a paisley vest.... as some of you know. i love paisley :)

my mom gets a new car tomorrow because hers got totalled (shes fine) when my dad encountered a very large amount of rain water one day in newark. the car flooded. suxx

im just going to keep writing random things as they pop into my head. they will all be spaced out like they have been above with one full space in between thoughts.

what does everyone think about the world? environmentalism? politics? free speech? BUSH? season 4 of lost? you know the important things. im not one for being burning bushes but i think that our generation has a calling. i think we are really supposed to save the world.

practice makes (close to) perfect

i just wrote a whole in depth post and when i tried to publish it i got an error which basically shattered my heart. once i recover i will post again

update

so lastsunday we had a surprise party for my dad at a cafe in maplewood it was in the works for a few weeks. i didnt want to write about it in here because i think he might read this occasionally. not sure. haha. anyway it was a blast and im a good secret keeper! im going to put some pictures up from that as well as some pics of my place which ive been promising for a while and perhaps picks of me rockin out on that new strat of mine.

also, yesterday me, nash and tone did some craziness. we converted one side of his garage into our new practice space. we were really hard workers, and anthonys neighbors power saw didnt hurt either. we moved out of our old space in clifton because we drained it of creativity, it had just become a horrible black hole of ideas and frustration. this will hopefully shed some new light on us. we have our in-ears coming pretty soon which is a huge thing for us. were trying to become porfesional without losing our youth and passion onstage... ya know. kind of a compromise.i think thats one thing we always thought. in our eyes we are always treated as amateurs (did i spell that wrong?).

toinghts gonna be good. lola and i are going to watch Weeds, season 1 disc 1 which shouldve arrived at my house today via Netflix. how did ppl live w.out that. peace

topless

just got back from the beach where lauren and i crashed for 1.5 days in a crowded shore house, which included like 8 girls under the age of 5 and 1 boy who was 1 week old (and liked to cry at 4am). it was lots of fun, nash and lauren were there. the highlight was probably me swimming w/out my shirt on 2 days in a row. as you may know i am very very pale and once in like 6th grade i refused to wear my shirt while swimming and the end result was an emergency room visit and multiple 2nd degree burns on my shoulder and chest. being that I am much older and wiser, I decided to take another chance. I should note the above mentioned burn happened at my town pool. so yea... ive never swam in the ocean bare-chested. I felt good because ive been working out lots and my "bod" was lookin prettttty good.

a few posts below, i talked about some guitars. i ended up getting a strat. its an american and its black and gold, bridge humbucker. u know whats up
