Going to sleep very early tonight. Me and Collin got a lot done at work today. It was awesome. Working with Collin in general is so amazing. Best dude, one of my great friends.

I am most likely getting this tattooed on my arm. The Smiths are one of my favorite bands, and I love this album cover. Under the graphic and it's background that I've yet to decide what it is, I want the line, "Never forget, Never forgive." Which is a No Warning lyric.

Human nature is such a confusing thing. My moods lately have been extreme. Either depressed or happy. Both in extremes. I hope it's just my age. But who knows.

I saw Brand New the other day. This is the live guitarists pedal board. Were brothas in a sense. Best band. MewithoutYou played as well. They were amazing.

After a strenuous work week I can't wait to unwind this weekend, possibly plans with a new friend Friday, and then a show Saturday at Uncle Mike's in Manhattan. Both days should be fun.

My playlist as of late,

The Gay Blades - Ghosts.
Radiohead - OK Computer, Kid A
No Warning - Ill Blood, S/T
The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
Weezer - Maladroit
mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister
The Rocket Summer - Calender Days

That's basically it. The Rocket Summer rules. Now that I think about it, those records have been on constant rotation for years now. I listen to a lot of the same music over and over again without getting tired of it at all.

Well, what else to say. Life is going by like a blur. 19 already. I was 16 and playing Mongoloids songs what feels like a year ago. A lot had changed for the better, a lot for the worse. All in time, we find our calling. I believe I have found mine.

Me and Chris Mele of The Hook Club are starting a band with me singing. I've wanted to do this for ages now and I'm more than excited.

A Love Like Pi just put out a record yesterday. Please support us by downloading it off iTunes or picking it up at a show. Thank you!

A lot of cool stuff happening in the Pi realm. Cool show/tour offers. You'll all hear in due time.

I just want to thank Rivers Cuomo, Lennon/Macartney, Clark Westfield, and Vinnie Cuarana for keeping me sane. I owe you guys a lot.

The only thing I care about, is playing my guitar, touring and tattoo's.

Thank you.

Good night.

But back to the movie, because I can't get it off my mind. It struck a chord, if you will. Now im no writer, but let me try to explain this as best as I can. This movie really shows that in the end, the happy ending you were hoping for usually dosen't happen. But in time, you might find that your happy ending just wasn't what you expected it to be. Follow?

Good Night.

Friendship is a wild thing. I feel like almost 100% of my friendships are one sided.

Pellinore is writing a record. I am beyond excited.

Broke and beaten down.

Been doing a whole lot of nothing lately. Got laid off from my job so I have no money. Pi has been trying to get our shit together to get ready to release our record in march. I've visited my girl Alyssa at her college twice this week. She like the sister I never had.

She's so weird hahaha.

Were doing a tour in March. I'm excited. The fifth to the eighteenth. I'm very excited to get out on the road with Pi. I love those guys so much.

Last night we went to dogpile practice and just hung out. They sounded pretty tight and the new jams are cool.

Tonight Bobby and I are going to our friend Vinny's house for a man night. Beer and Poker. Hahaha. We gave him a haircut the other day.

Bobby as a cute little boy.

Pi.

Last night the Pi played a show in Garwood. There weren't alot of people there, but the kids that were there were awesome. Afterwards we all went to Taco Bell and hung around. We get home and start playing Taboo and Who's In Your Ear? Wild games.

The Gay Blades are an amazing band. Their record "Ghosts" has been on my mind for so long. I really am addicted to their style and sound. The lyrics are amazing. James and Quinn are great dudes as well. Please check them out. www.myspace.com/thegayblades.

This misery, inspires me."

I've been at Krier's for like a week. It's a good life. I just sold him a bunch of pedals. It was cool. Buddy and Smokes are my favorite animals in the world.

This picture is from Jake's party which was way to much fun. We all enjoyed ourselves a lot.

New songs up on the Pi myspace. The songs are called "Innocent Man" and "The Atlas". Www.myspace.com/alovelikepi. I hope you enjoy them. Were going to be playing all over soon. I'm very excited to be out on the road. Exploring the world and what not.

This is Dave Triggano. He is an amazing artist. His new song seriously blow my mind. Www.myspace.com/davetriggiano. Watch the two YouTube videos. He is also one of my good friends.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of stuff like Every Time I Die and Converge. Stuff like that. The attack of hardcore and guitar work of rock and roll, jazz players, and metal players together is so awesome.

I miss tour with Isolation and Troublemaker. I can't wait to see them again.

Mark and Kwame rule.

Here's a picture I took outside of Maxwell's in Hoboken. The view of the new York skyline is amazing. I would live in Hoboken in a minute.

Good night. Aka six am.

I'm sitting in my room listening to Radiohead. Played a Pi show in New York city last night. Some wild bands played. After that I hit up Rutgers hang with my girlllllssssss. Woke up, and my neck is done cause I slept on a floor. Got lunch with Lindsay and her buds Gabi and Ester. It was cool.

Hahahhahagahagagagag the other day I went to Stockton and visited Gretchen and Brit Smo. They are the best. We drank hurracane. Wild. Zach Carson and his wild ass hair was there as well. He showed us a GREAT fucking time and we live him.

At a basketball game.

This is my lawyer. Laurence Bitterman. He is a great man and just defended me in a little run in with the law. He got me out of a sticky situation. My boy.

That is Krier and Kristina. They are the best.

More funny pictures from Stockton.

Alrighttttttt I'm out.

Love you all. Especially you Waldo.

Today was a strange day. Pi played a show at Middletown North High School. It was Awesome! All of my friends came out. I was so happy to see all of their faces. I'm staying at Krier's all weekend. Steve's party tomorrow with the Middletown boys. Very excited for that. After the show, we came back to Krier's and raged a little bit. This is when my night got interesting. I started thinking hard about stuff. I need a girl, but am so afraid to settle down because I fuck everything up. Who knows. I sure as he'll don't. Maybe if I stop looking she'll come to me? Who knows. Rivers said it the best.

Tired of Sex.

You have a very special place in my heart.

Second try? I can't. I'll fuck it up.

Possibly the most wild picture of all ducking time.

So I'm in my kitchen eating a bowl of cereal. It's french vanilla. Seriously the best. Did nothing but work on guitar stuff for pi today. Very productive. I'm happy I did it. After a little bit PJ, Jeff, Sammy, and Fitzy came over. Bobby is sick. I love him. We went to McDonalds. Then we got back and Gretchen and Nicole came over and we listen to old music. Old music is crazy. It makes you feel the way you did when you first listened to it. Smell certain things. Well at least for me it does. Here's some pictures for you creepers.

Over and out. Working tomorrow. See ya l8tr.

Last day of tour. This has been a very enjoyable ride. I've been on tour before, and I've never met such a group of real kids. I'm very excited to come up to Mass and hang out all the time.

We get to the show after a very relaxing two hour drive from home. It was still very snowy and cold but we were very used to it. A couple bands played and we were scared people were gonna leave but some people stayed. The Isolation and Troublemaker sets were the best of the tour. I literally just stood behind the speaker and just observed. All of the kids on tour and kids from Mass were going nuts and it was a lot of fun.

Me and Brendan looking silly.

Isolation.

The final supper.

Overall, tour was awesome. I met some people who I'll be friends with the rest of my life. I'll never forget these ten days.

Love you guys.

Were on our way home from the night. It's 3:10 AM. We slept at Mark's practice spot, woke up and then went to the mall to get Wendy's. It was awesome. After the mall we went back to Mark's house to hang out a little bit more. Isolation called us and said they were at the show so we headed over there. The house was really cool. A lot of bands were playing. We took over the living room and partied HARD.

The party went on and on and the cops showed up before any of our bands could play. It sucked but we made the best of it. Afterwards we went to Jake's house. 21 Robinson St. A real rager. We partyed some more and then just chilled. Here are some pictures.

Middle fingers.

Alright. Last day of tour. Makes me really sad. See you tomorrow.

We slept at Mark's apartment. It was awesome. We made a lot of spagetti in the morning and it was great. Afterwards me, Phil, and Tyler went on a tourist adventure. Here's some pictures to sum it up.

It was a lot of fun. Afterwards we went to the show. It was wierd. And then we loved Silvana and Cate. All. Night. Long. Oh ok and then we went to the show. The show was wierd. Isolation and Troublemaker got to play but we didn't get paid. It sucked. Afterwards we went to Mark's practice space and slept.

Love you all.
Goodbye.
