How ya all been? it's been a long while since i was last on GS haha. thought i'd stop by and see what all has been goin on. I have personally been supa busy what with college/work/music.

it's been fun though. i signed a sponsor for drumming! i'm finally getting paid to play drums... not a lot but still i'm stoked on that. i now have a tattoo. just been hanging out playin games and playin music. oh i gots a girlfriend after about a year after my super long relationship. and this is one that i never woulda seen coming. this is a girl that i've known since she moved here from washington in like 7th grade. (i too happen to be from washington xD). she was the first girl i ever had a crush on. then we drifted apart in high school then started hanging out again about 2 months ago. and we have now been dating for a week! so i'm pretty excited on that. well... that's about the big update from me. how has everyone else been??

So i just got every last achievement on Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion... took me a total of almost 93 gameplay hours to complete all the guilds, the main questline, and the shivering isles.... i hoenstly think this is very depressing on my part lol. cause that's a lot of gameplay... well now i have to go pick a new game to go obliterate haha...

Pretty much... I'm up in Seattle/Tacoma Washington for the rest of summer... mainly due to the fact that my niece who is 17... was diagnosed with lukemia about 3 or 4 weeks ago.... :cry: but luckily we found out that my nephew(her little brother) is a match for a bone marrow transplant and that is like the best news we could get given the current situation... so now all we can do is hope and pray. but i know that everything will work out alright...

On a lighter note. I GOT AN ENDORSEMENT DEAL FOR DRUMMING!!!! haha this place called Shine Drums which is a newer drumming company messaged me on myspace and wanted to give me an endorsement! i looked at their website and you usually have to apply for one.. but the fact that they actually contacted me on their own time is pretty sick!!! so when i can get the money to afford it cause what they do is sign a contract with me for 2 years. i buy a drumset from them at a super discount price (and for those of you that are drummers you know that a new drumset isn't cheap) and i can make a custom kit and they will shave off as much of a price as they can. and thats how the deal starts i play that drumset for 2 years and put them on my top friends on myspace and if someone asks about the drums i advertise Shine Drums and they help promote my band!! which is a pretty sick deal considering they got about 2.5 million that's right million hits on their site in the month of June. but as of right now money is a little tight and i can't afford it right now but they said that the offer will still stand!

also i'm starting my second year of college(oh joy) and i'm pretty much tired of school haha... but hey what can ya do... oh i dunno if i mentioned this before but my girlfriend broke up with me about 5 months ago so i've been single for a good while... it sucks haha... but hey she said i became a jerk (which no one agrees with her) and she seemed to move on pretty quick... oh we had been going out for about 10 months... so ya... almost a year and she told me when she broke up with me that she wouldn't be in a relationship for a long time.. HA what a lie... so that sums that up... oh management at my work is going down the tubes right now for what reason idk i havent been there for a few weeks... but i've been told by my friends at work that work sucks right now... but doesn't it always? haha....

well that about sums up what's been going on with me these past few months... heading back to Palm Springs at the end of the month... so i'm going from one extreme to the other haha.. well that's about it...

I just don't want to waste another day
I'm trying to make things right
But you shove it in my face
And all those things you've done to me I can't erase
And I can't keep this inside
It's time to say goodbye

On the first day that I met you
I should have known to walk away
I should have told you you were crazy
And disappear without a trace
But instead I stood there waiting
Hoping you would come around
But you always found a way to let me down

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
(I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye
(Cause things will never be the same)
It's time to say goodbye
(You make me think I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye

After all the things I've done for you
You never tried to do the same
It's like you always play the victim
And I'm the one you always blame
When you need someone to save you
When you think you're going to drown
(Think you're going to drown)
You just grab your arms around me and pull me down

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye
(I just don't want to waste another day)
It's time to say goodbye
(Cause things will never be the same)
It's time to say goodbye
(You make me think I need to walk away)
It's time to say goodbye
It's time to say goodbye

Now I'm gone
It's too late
You can't fix
Your mistakes
I was trying to save you from you
So you scream
So you cry
I can see
Through your lies
You're just trying to change me
(Trying to change me)

Somewhere in the distance
There's a place for me to go
I don't want you to hate me
But I think you need to know
You're weighing on my shoulders
And I'm sick of feeling down
So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye

lyrics by Simple Plan... these lyrics prolly relate to my life perfectly haha... if ya wanna know why just message me

At school was very awkward. . . it was spirit week and it was Guys vs. Girls. . . well on thursday the two groups had to dress as the opposite sex. . . sadly i was part of it. . . i don't have any pics of me in my little outfit currently but i do have this pic from the end of the day haha

Today is that Hallmark day of the year where you buy that one special person you like or love a little gift to show your affection.

Do you have a valentine this year? I know i do!!

So yeah if you have a valentine congrats!!!

if not... don't stop believing try your hardest and you will. if you are shy that's ok. i get that way too. but don't give up on what you want. work at it. don't stop halfway and then forget about it. cause that will live with you forever. and then you are caught in a world of what ifs.. like " ahhh!! what if i just did ask her/him out? i wonder what it woulda been like" well i don't mean to sound well.. mean but living in a life of what ifs isn't right for anyone. just go for it like i've said already many many times lol.

Well.... the patch for Assassin's Creed came out a few weeks ago as some of you may know... but. the game still freezes up on me. and i know it isn't the disc. i take good care of my fo **** anyways. i also got Unreal Tournament 3 and it is very awesome!!! but i'm still kinda miffed at the fact that Assassin's Creed still glitches out on me... oh and i got laid off of my job. i am no longer employed by Target... i'm down with that it's cool. ya live and ya learn right? got my last paycheck. another upside. i can jam with my band a lot more now. i dunno where else to apply right now. i'm thinkin somewhere in my towns mall. that sounds like a bit of a plan to me. but grrness to assassin's creed. i know i sound like a broken record but this isn't right. a patch comes out to fix a glicth but yet. doesn't help.... they need to fix it all straight up right the flip now.... well that's all i gotta say today.
