i've got a backbone...

Dear Diary...ha

I'm currently in Athens, Georgia...home of Rack 'em Willie...also known as William James Huff...we've been searching for him all day...if you don't know who he is, youtube him...Rack em Willie...so hilarious...he's a homeless man...and these kids follow him around and bro down with him...he tells stories and sleeps in bushes...tons of fun, for everyone...we didn't find him, but we found the Wendy's they filmed at...but we heard some bad news...apparently the last anyone locals have seen of him, he was living in an assisted living home and was sick...they gave him 6 months to live...which is extremely sad...i hope he's doing well...but let us pray that William James Huff is alive and well, and if he has passed, let's hope he went quick and painlessly...

on a happier note....i've been eating like complete shit...haha...it's tough to eat healthy on the road...i'm giving myself til i get home to eat whatever, then it's on...i'm hittin the gym and i'm pretending i'm on the biggest loser...

we also ate at a thai place, and it rocked...Cozy Yum Yum...no joke, that was the name...we walked in and the waitress was extremely persistant "come in!! come in!! you sit down,
make comfortable, you sit down!" so we sat and ordered and the cook came out and said hi...and sat with us, b/c it was empty...she told us of how she just opened the place and it was slow b/c the resturant was underground...she started promoting the band to other customers to try to get them to stay and eat with us...so funny...

we JUST played a fashion show benefit for the American Cancer Society..or association...one of those...it was super duper fun...what more can you ask for...lovely ladies struttin the catwalk, actin way too sexy for their shirts...i'm a huge fan of Lolita Girls Clothing...for sure...also my boy Anthony had his clothes displayed...Rebirth is the shit...he said he'll make me some clothes...so i'm stoked...

i watched the first half of Stepbrothers...absolutely hilarious...now i just hafta finish it...i think i'll do that when i get home...b/c i won't have time tomorrow, we're leaving right from the show and haulin ass home...it's gonna be rough...

i missed LOST...and i'm pissed...

talk to you later...

last night we shredded faces...Drive By played Finnegan's Grill in Thornwood, NY, my place of work...it was fun as hell...we finally got to play a real hometown show and it went extremely well...i got to see some friends that i haven't seen since i was in high school...all around a great night...after we played, we packed up all the gear and then i was on the clock..i actually started working at the bar that i JUST played at...it was cool though i made some coinage...i don't mind gettin dirty and workin for some extra cash...the bar was an absolute mess...Drive By fans get rowdy...by the end of the night i was pulling people out of 3 feet of broken beer bottles and i found a sweet pair of shoes under all the wreckage...i'm glad everyone had a good time and I thank you all for coming out and support your boys!

the economy is suffer...which means one thing...stores go out of business...well, i guess it means a lot more than just ONE thing, but the stores shutting down is what i would like to talk about...FYE in a town near me is going under...and i LOVE it...i think i just spent, roughly 3 hundo on used DVDs...everything is the store is half off...and these dvds came out to 3 bucks...you do the math...ok i'll help...that's roughly...hmm...a bagillion movies...i have about a bagillion and ahalf movies now...the whole ROCKY saga for 15 beans, all 3 Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles for 10...i better get crackin...i bought dvds that i never wanna see...sappy movies, chick flicks...for the ladies of course...haha...so 2 things t remember...

shitty economy = great deals on movies
global warming = skinny dipping in the winter

all ya gotta do is see the good side and you'll smile forever!

"i started a war today, and i've never felt better..."

There's a bunch of cool ish in the works...oh and if you noticed I no longer use 'cuss' words in my blogs, my pops yelled at me...haha...he told me to stop...I'm a gentleman and i wanna stay a gentleman...so...big things...

A couple of friends and I decided we do great things...and we're going to write a book...that's right...we already started on it...it's gonna be a process and it MAY become a series of books...we have a lot of short stories to tell...we were just have a few cocktails and talkin about the good old days and we realized that everyone that we told these stories to didn't believe them...they're that crazy...and listeners tend to be drawn to our story-telling...why not share them with the world...this can be considered egotistical..but who isn't? anyone who has come up with a story and thought it to be good enough to publish is obviously thinking their story is the bollocks...ya know...but whateves...i think writing a book with some friends is a fun idea, to say the least...you all should try it...just start thinking about fun things you have done and jot em down...or maybe even extremely sad or disturbing things...writing is fun when you don't have a teacher telling you what or how to write...if you just keep a notepad filled with random ideas, you can always go back and read through and remember...so today's lesson is to write your thoughts down...with no structure...just write!

i heard the other day that schools are now confused about competition...they are taking competition out of learning...i firmly believe in giving the kids something to strive for...don't you? i don't agree with putting down a child for not doing well in school, but, i don't think if a kid does poorly you should call him winner...false security is not cool...not only does that make the kid who's not actually learning the material feel OK with where he is, but it makes the kid that JUST busted his ass to learn the chapter, or whatnot, feel that his work was for nothing...he/she will decide that he can get praise for doing less work...this is what we called 'dumbing down' and it's what is going on in America...we're not encouraging hard work and work ethic and effort, we're simply making the kid who doesn't do as well, feel better about it...i personally was never a great student in school...my bros and sis' pretty much all destroyed my report cards every year...but i always busted my ass and eventually i graduated with a respectable GPA...i had something to strive for...i WANTED to do well...i was NEVER told that a D or a C was good...they were not the 3rd and 4th winning grades...that's ridiculous...if no one ever reads this, at least i got it off my chest, but if you do read this...please...push your kids to greatness...push yourself to greatness, your friends, your family, encourage them to be great...if everyone stops caring about being great, because less is just as good these days, then the Great Ones will just leave us...we will never have the Babe Ruths, and the George Washingtons and Bill Gates, Dr. Dre, Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Paul Oakenfold...even Madonna, they'll all have no desire to be great...no desire to overcome and succeed...we'll be left with idiocracy...and that's all...nothing to look forward to...the ability to want to better ourselves is our human instinct...don't lose that...

I went bowling last night with some friends...it was, a blast from the past...it's been so long since I've been bowling...i don't think it gets enough credit...bowling is fun as hell...thought i was out of shape and my wrist started getting tired...but i bowled a 189 my first game...which i think is pretty damn good considering my time away from the sport...yea i was a dork when i was younger, and I'm not apologizing for it...i was a dork...i still am actually...I'm just way more awesome now...ha ha but yea, i used to be on a league team with my older bro...get your ass to a bowling alley and practice b/c i wanna know where all the sweet bowling alleys are in every city we're about to play...so on off days drive by can school some kiddies in the art of bowl...bumpers are optional...see you there...

OK, my food is here...I'm gonna go destroy it...later on!
