well hey kids look who's back.

song- Dropkick Murpheys - Blood and Whiskey
food - Dels
Weather - Alright i guess, ive been inside the past few days.
Random fact - Travis Pastrana pwns your soul

Its been a long hard couple days for me and its gonna get worse before its gets better. Oh well, all this stuff will pass over soon.

In case your stupid, I underwent a six hour surgery on my jaw last wendesday. I won't go into details but they basically cut my jaw in three parts and pushed it up, widened it, and wired it back up with screws stiches and a whole bunch of other things. They let me out of the hospital last friday. Im so glad im out of there. Everyone was super nice but it was soooooooo boring. i just kinda sat there with an ice pack on my head for 6 hours at a time. Im so glad to be home.

As of right now, My face is really swollen and everything eyes is numb. I have a really hard time talking and i hurts like a bitch to yawn or even smile. Im not allowed to have any solid foods, but im not really worried bout that, i wouldn't be able to swallow anything anyways. Im have difficulty drinking this glass of frozen lemonade as it is. Nothing really eventfull happened. At least not concerning the surgery. I threw up all over my mom's bed this morning but besides that i've just been watching tv and playing video games for hours on end. meh

It was my birthday yesterday. I didn't have a party or anything, obviously, but i got a few cards and a few of my friends left happy birthday comments and stuff. That was kewl. As for birthday presents, i got alot of movies. A whole damn lot of movies. a few books, cd's. money. nothing super special. just alot of little stuff. which is always kewl.

so how about those x-games? I spent the entire second night watching reruns of the games. Amazing. I always have been a huge fan of the X-games and Gravity games ever since they first hit providence. You have no idea hiw much money i would pay to have them come back to RI. I was too small to remember specifics about the X-games when they were there, but i do remember the yearly ritual of going to the gravity games. Actually i only think i went twice. I thnk they were only there twice? im not sure. whatever it was kick ass. Maybe the Dew tour will stop by providence next year. I would even go to boston.

As for this year, well there were some crazy moments here and there. I was half asleep when i saw number 199 pull off the double backflip. I think i might have shed a tear. Travis Pastrana is one of the most amazing athltes in action sports by far. The guy is just fucking nuts. No surprise Danny Way got the 3peat in big air. The guy jumped the fucking Wall of China, he is the only one worthy to wear that gold metal. Although Bob did pretty good. I have a special little place in my heart for bob, He'll probably never hit the top of my fav skaters list, that changes daily, but he will always be there on top in his own designated spot.

I dunno what im rambleing about anymore guess im just trying to pass the time. I have a few new movies to watch but ten bucks says i probably won't watch em today. Probably will sit and watch crappy tv then play devil may cry 3 for a couple hours then i dunno. nobody noes.

My family is currently eating some meatball sandwhiches. I want one so very very badly. they look soo good. fuck. Im drooling all over myslef -_- i can't wait until i can feel my face again.

i got nothing else to say, go check out the forums at LBRI. somethimes i think im the only one that actually reads those things.

Aright, im out for the day, peace biznatchez

Well i fished that Reveiw in its entirerty, Ben if you stumble across this before i send it to you feel free to take it right from this Blog. Not super proud of it, kinda sounds like an over obsessed fan, probably should pointed out more negatives but whatever. It really is an amazing CD.

Album Reveiw- Monty Are I Wall of PeopleYou may know them as Monty, you may know them as Monty's Fan club. But who cares about the band's name, they sure didn't when they picked the name Monty Are I as the title that would gracce their first major release Wall of People. They may say they are the same monty, but we all know better than that.The truth is that Monty's sound has changed drastically over the years. They used to be ska, and damn good ska at that. They sitll may have a horn section but monty has long since drifted away from the ska scene, and this new album proves just that. Monty is no longer ska.But i never said that was a bad thing.Instead, The boys of Monty Are I have discovered... a new sound. Something unlike anything else. They call this sound action rock. That name is almost as lame as the name Monty Are I, but never the less, it rocks, just like Monty Are I.So we got the fact that monty rocks the socks but how good is this album? is it worth my money? Im bored so lets lets break it down.
Song by song
1. Between the Sheets - This song was on their last Cd, the red shift. In fact all of the songs on that cd are on here (except for Polished and Poisoned and Away with Two chairs), but chances are you never heard it. Thats where i come in.
It’s a classic Monty song, and a perfect one to start this album. Its powerful and chatchy, and it really gets you into the song and album. If they ever put out a single, ten bucks says this song is the one they use.
2. Castle Bound- I love the intro to this song, so classy. and it just fits. There are so many little things in this song that sets it apart, I don't like the brigde right before the solo, its like a brick wall, but it makes the guitar solo even more awsome. Its not an amazing solo, but the timing is just perfect and its feel rewarding.
3. Dublin Waltz- A new song. This song just like most of the other once has alot of little things all over the place that makes it that much better. Theres a cow bell! Its soft and faint but after the third time i listened to it i heard it. I also like the fact that the song is actually a waltz. Some bands use waltz in the name of the song but the song isn't actually a waltz. Major props for monty for doing their research. Also the orchrastra in the background is a nice touch and makes the song that much more powerful.
4. Anchor and Hope- I bet this song has something to do with rhode Island. Another new song. It has a faster pace than some of the other songs, which is a plus. I can’t really say much about this song. It’s a good song but not super amazing like.
5. O Brother – A Red Shift Song. I can’t say anything bad about this song. Very powerful just like all of monty’s songs. The thing that makes this song stick out is the Cranston East Quire singing in the end.
6. Island City – Another song off the Red Shift. It’s the first slow song on the album and gives you time to rest after rocking out from the songs previous to this one. It also has a lot of nice effects. It’s a nice relaxing song, kind of draged out at the end alittle but that’s kewl cuz it leads in right into the next song.
7. Metropolis – I guess you call this Island City Pt 2. It’s Faster and louder than ist’s predisesor, and is pretty catchy. But it lacks the emence power the other songs had. But I guess it’s a nice change. If all their songs had that emence power to them the album would be painfull. Don’t get me wrong its still a good song.
8. In This Legacy – In my opinion the best song on the Red shift and one of the best on Wall of People. It’s Monty at its finist. It’s powerful and catchy and is just everything monty does well in a nutshell.
9. Just in Time – My least favorite song on the album. Its slow and just doesn’t sink in. There are just to many things going on in this song and I just can’t get a feel for it.
10. Tie off your veins – When I first heard this song I didn’t really like it. I felt it was just this massive blob of sound with no direction. The more I listened it however the more I began to like it. The more I got into it the more I realized, this may just be the best song on the CD. Just the intro alone makes this song on the top on my list.
11. Only the Weak – I can imagine seeing steve screaming the words of this song on stage and everyone going crazy. Its like an anthem, and one of the most powerfull songs on the entire album. Your tired from rocking out to everysong and just when you feel you couldn’t go on, this song comes on and it just completely refuels you. Its almost like he is tauting you. “Only the weak can’t rock out any more, your not one of them are you?” (I don’t think that’s what the song is about but that’s what I thought he was talking about the first time I heard it)

Okay so you get the point. This CD is amazing go buy it right now. Best CD in the history of man? Not quite, but not far from it.

9 out of 10 is a good modest score right?



Besides that..bleh. Got my senior picks taken today i dun like getting my picturese taken but it wasn't that bad. It was over fast.

I dunno.. bored.. bleh.

Been screwin around in photoshop, ill post some stuff i made later, to lazy to do it now.

NEW POST NEW POST NEW POOOOOST!

This kid gone fucking nuts?!

YOU BET THE FUCK I AM!

Alright lets get down to BUSINESS!

Song-Hysteria by MUSE
Food- COOKIES
Weather- the fucking HOT
Random object- STAPLER OF DOOOM

So what the fuck up Internet! yea thats right im talking to you! The only person who reads this! yea you know who you are! i don't but you do!

in my life nothing much really. same old shit day by day. Getting bored with summer. This summer totally sucks ass. And its just about over for me. In exactally one week im getting my jaw cut open. Oh joy. Well it will be all over soon. Trying not to think about it.

Hey i finally wrote an article for LBRI. If your the one person i havn't told repeatedly about it then you should check it out HERE. Will i continue writing for them? As of right now... no.. Im not gona ne anle to eat for the next month so i doubt ill be writing anything.. But maybe in the future someday somewhere.

Gots my new guitar its fucking sweet, but i havn't really had the chance to put it to the ultimate test. Sure i jammed with it alittle, but its just been to hot to reallly try it out. When it starts to cool off then ill have my fun.

Btw im looking for a new group to jam with, Jamming with other people is the best way t progress on one's instrument and make music. And i just find it fun. Playing with verrater and FKA was always a blast. hell just watching Delila pratice was fun. I havn't done that alll summer and wanna get my music out just once more before next week.

ONce this shits all over then shit will be good but as of right now it sucks in ten differant ways. I can't go into some of the things bothing me cuz frankly it ain't none of your business.

I can't wait until school starts. Holy fuck did i just say that? yea i did. This summer is a drag and i just realized that i miss the cold, not the extreme cold but like the Autum cold. I love the fall. And i can't wait to finall be able to go outside and not sweat my ass off. And im gonna be a senior this year. That fucking rocks.

Yea well the im signing out. I can't think of anything else to rabble on about. Peace in the middle east.

But not really
