blahhhbity blah blah.
long time no type.

things have been all good on the quiet front. nothing to spectacular to write home about. 2 bachelor parties 2 weeks in a row. both definitely taking its toll on my body. but definitely a good time.

ive been laying low due to lack of funds. bills have been tight this past month, and i really need to start saving money. with gas bills going to start being sky high soon, and christmas right around the corner, i need to save every penny i can. we're planning on going to florida again at the end of february again, so i also need to start saving for that.

speaking of florida... i will be in florida from oct. 19th until cot. 24th. Spending some time with my folks. I havent seen my folks in probably a good month or so. i should probably stop over and say hello one of these days.

ive been busy at work. i'm still down and employee. they still have not hired anyone for me, and it doesnt look like they are going to anytime soon. go figure! other weird shit is going on at work. i'll know more news next week.

i'm so glad the seasons of television shows have started up again. i am seriously stoked on a ton of shows on tv. so to pass away the time now, i will become a vegetable and chill and watch tv. video games have also been keeping me busy. Madden 09, Tiger Woods 09, NHL 09, and soon i'll be getting Batman Legos and Left 4 Dead.

I've been eating a lot better now a days and drinking less and less. I'm starting to feel good and have been losing some weight. i call that a plus.

Ive also found myself more and more not into music as much as i used to be. i dont know why, but ive found it to be less interesting to me as it used to be. i'm not really into all the new bands, new genres etc.. i guess i am getting old......

i am a little preturbed right now.so i finally decided to dig out my record player from the basement and listen to some records. I jerry rigged my turntable up to my surround sound as best as possible right now. I threw on a few records i bought a month or so ago. One of them being "Wasted Again" - Black Flag. Only to find out that when i put it on and spun it around i noticed it is slightly warped. it still plays fine, but thats not the point. I miss listening to records.


ps. this is for joe.:) eat it.

here's a update for all of you... since i know you all care.

As of late work has been biting the big one. They added a store to my route. Took an merchandiser from me. Gave me a new merchandiser. She sucked. She quit. I'm down 2 merchandisers and gained a store. Totally bites the big one, and i've been working my ass off for the past 3 weeks. So from now until they hire me a new guy, i'm screwed. Hopefully they will hire someone soon. As for now, I will be working 7 days a week. FUN!

With that being said, I havent really been able to do much besides work. At the begining of the year, I told myself this would be the year i concentrated a lot of playing golf and getting my golf game up to par. I'm no slouch when it comes to golf, but i could use the work on my game. I think this summer i've played a total of 4 rounds. which is totally pathetic. I am really bummed out about that. It's something i LOVE to do more than a lot of things in life.

4 weeks ago my life has been semi destroyed by video games. First Madden 09. And now Tiger Woods 09. I cannot pull myself away from Tiger Woods. The game is fuckin solid! the online play is amazing. Madden on the other hand has been making me frustrated and was told i need to turn the game off, due to words flying out of my mouth, and me throwing the controller across the room.

Joe, Mike and I took a nice bike ride today. We rode down Lake Ave to Rocky River, and headed to a private beach on Wager Rd. We skipped rocks and hung out on the beach. After that we ended up going to the Rocky River Pier and hung out a bit. We also got in trouble by the cops for riding on the pier. After the pier we rode back and ended up stopping for a beer. It was a well deserved beer as it was a nice bike ride. pictures can be found here...

What's awesome is that i have had that bike since 1995. Still rides smooth and still is an awesome bike.

Band stuff.
Well, we played a show at Mahalls for the Cheap Tragedies 7" release show. I was in a really awful/weird mood that night. I ended up throwing my mic on the ground and smashing it. For some reason i was very angry at that show. I felt bad i left and didnt get to see CHEAP TRAGEDIES. btw they used photos of mine i took of them in their layout. It is on NO IDEA RECORDS. buy it.

Other than that we havent practiced. The band has, but i haven't. Maybe this makes me a dick for saying this, but sometimes i really loathe going to practice. I know joe and mike and jeff like to have a good time and play metallica songs, but it does get rather annoying to me because most of the time spent there is them playing it. Listen, I love metallica more than the next guy, but still, sometimes im just not in the mood for it. I like the songs we have so far and i'm really looking forward to writing more. Only thing is, it feels like no one likes this band either. which makes it hard for me to concentrate on doing it. It just seems like every band I am in, no one cares. SO it kind of makes it hard for me to really keep caring. I love being in a band, dont get me wrong.

Other than that things been been on the DL. This weekend is a very busy one. Last Indians game in our package play is Friday night. Saturday night is Chris' bachelor party. And Sunday I am golfing in an outing with some people from work.
what's up with you?
