[23 Mar 2011|11:54pm] when was the last time you were in the mood to get really fucking shitfaced drunk? 4 will | say something.

[21 Mar 2011|11:43pm] i'm having an awesome hair day. isn't that great? i feel like i should've done something awesome in honor of that. also, tonight i realized that i fucking love the local natives album "gorilla manor" that is all. 2 will | say something.

[07 Feb 2011|08:11pm] [ mood | nostalgic ] i just found the personal facebook pages of the members of a band i loved in highschool. they were never a huge band, but god damn they were one of my favorites. catchy tunes, incredible performers, constant relentless touring, and some of the coolest dudes i knew.  i admired them and wanted to grow up to be them. i ran into one of them outside a bar near my house the other night. told him i used to love his band. he smiled, but seemed uneasy about the subject. i asked him what they've been up to lately and he simply said that they're "taking it easy." his friend told me to check out their new project (which i did, and it's cool...but not the same). tonight i feel like i'm growing older. realizing that some of these memories i hold so close are nearly 10 years old. realizing that the people i grew up with have taken different paths than i have, or they aren't around anymore. i know this is a part of life and i have to accept it, but every once in a while i feel the need to stop and acknowledge the passing of time. take care out there, guys. say something.

[27 Jan 2011|06:17pm] [ mood | anxious ] ahhhh i have so much excitement built up inside of me. we're going to make a record. we're going to press vinyl. we're going to tour. we're going to play music for a living. this WILL happen, we will make sure of it. there is so much positive energy floating around me lately, it's incredible. i love my friends, i love my band, i love my girl, i love my life. i cannot express myself any better than that at this exact moment. 1 will | say something.

[03 Jan 2011|06:38pm] annual photo entry coming soon. altho i'm still debating whether or not it's even worth it to make one this year. i love ya, livejournal, but you're kinda a thing of the past. 1 will | say something.

[13 Sep 2010|06:41pm] i want to drink all of the beers and play all of the music and have all of the good times with all of my friends all of the time. 1 will | say something.

[27 Aug 2010|03:12pm] [ mood | bummed. ] there is a time and a place for everything. today, it is the time for the New Amsterdams' Para Toda Vida. this album has seen me through the worst of times. there is a specific mood and situation that i need to be in to listen to this album. it's fucking incredible. matthew pryor is a man amongst men. beautiful lyricism, intricate and appropriate guitar lines, and among the best vibes i've ever experienced on record. if only it was pressed on vinyl. things are rough. for me, and for those around me. there must be something in the air. 1 will | say something.

[10 Aug 2010|01:41pm] home from cabo. had an incredible time. just put up photos on facebook. there are more, i'll get to them later. bummed i didn't get to meet up with my uncle rob who lives down there. but it was just too tough with his schedule and me being with friends/friends' family. next time, which there definitely will be. things are good. i think? yeah. say something.

[29 May 2010|04:41pm] some days are better than other days. today is a beautiful day. probably the nicest yet, this summer. yesterday was a bad day. but that's alright. those happen sometimes. i think i'm delirious from lack of sleep. need coffee. say something.

[21 May 2010|11:39am] i'm sorry i neglect you, livejournal. you just seem so outdated these days! you know i luh you, girl. 1 will | say something.

[22 Apr 2010|09:42am] coachella ruled. still enjoying the afterglow/hangover. photos on facebook. happy earthday! go plant a tree, asshole! say something.

[27 Mar 2010|05:41pm] happy 27th. 6 years. how did that happen? miss you. say something.

[09 Feb 2010|11:12pm] i feel like we've gotten more rain in the past month than los angeles has gotten in the past decade. and i like it. future ghost is playing at boardners in hollywood tomorrow night (club moscow). last time we played there it was surprisingly awesome, so i'm anxious and excited to perform there again. tonight, at practice, things felt better than they have in a long while. it clicked, and i really felt like our songs were flowing the way they're supposed to. let's hope this trend continues. i'm comfortable. hopefully not too comfortable. in general. work has been really awesome lately. both bands have been realy great lately. things with dana are amazing. i'm happy. the only gloomy cloud hovering over my life at the moment is the fact that we're being forced to move. i'm ready to move. this house has seen so much of my life, and my growth, but i'm braced to move onward. we almost got an awesome house a few blocks away...didn't happen. continuing to look around. fingers crossed that something works out - soon. i meant what i said last time, tho...someone should have a house party and let yikes play. it'll be awesome, i swear. we'll even buy you beers! say something.

[20 Jan 2010|05:33pm] [ mood | aight. ] it's rainy. really rainy. like 5 days straight of rainy. masa's been awesome. dana's been sick for like 3 weeks. we're going to san diego this weekend, hopefully she'll be better by then and it won't be rainy. been tracking bits and pieces to add to the future ghost recordings. mr sean foye is mixing it for us. apparently there's a rough mix somewhere that brandon and kim heard (and really liked) so i'm stoked. yikes is playing spaceland with nico stai. pretty damn stoked. besides that, life's been moving forward fairly pleasantly. aside from the fact that we're being kicked out of our house and need to find somewhere else to live before march. hopefully svensson and rudy get their money back and everything works out. i don't want anyone to feel burned or bummed or taken advantage of. if you live somewhere awesome, you should have a huge house party and let yikes play. it'll be awesome, i swear. say something.

[07 Jan 2010|06:18pm] [ mood | content ] so here's my annual photo entry with highlights of the past year. 2009, you will be missed. 2010 is already off to a good start. enjoy these. ( not 65k friendly ) 13 will | say something.

[06 Jan 2010|07:23pm] my annual entry of photo highlights of the past year is coming! i've been too busy to sit down and finish uploading photos. check back within a few days! say something.

[14 Oct 2009|03:44am] [ mood | worried ]  life moves forward.  i can't be such a packrat towards the evolution of my own life.  things change, people move on, life continues.  why am i such a sentimental person?  why can't i be one of those people who "doesn't give a fuck" ?  i quess anticon is done.  future ghost is changing.  masa is changing.  my house and life and roomates and living situation might be changing.  my own personal idea of who i am is changing.   there's a strong hint of change in the air. let's just make sure it's all for the good. 2 will | say something.

[13 Oct 2009|05:54pm] my to-do list (off the top of my head). talk to sean and sean about rent. talk to sean and sean about deposit. come to an agreement on what we can do. call belissa. sign a lease. pay bills. feed/walk rza. pay the courthouse (more and more...ugh). keep writing music. buy brandon n giselle a wedding gift. buy new jeans/shoes/shirts. fix my computer battery. buy more records. make more money. tour. clean the house. get nick and nick to get the rest of their stuff out of the house. fix headlights. call guitar center/take care of cymbals. get new glasses. make more yikes! cds. take dana on a date. call friends that i never see anymore. help anticon. move the office. call adam hain. say something.

[29 Sep 2009|02:29am] [ mood | a little overwhelmed. ]  i feel very rushed.  i feel like everyone wants something.  hardly anyone is genuine anymore.  i am so grateful for the ones closest to me.  i've been contemplating what i'm even doing with my life.  should i sign this lease?  should i pay all this money?  should i work at this restaurant?  i know i want to keep playing music.  i know i want to keep dating dana.  i know i want to keep living in los angeles (for now). adam quit future ghost.  sina hasn't paid rent.  our landlady's phone has been off for 3 days with "a full voicemailbox" and i don't have a way of getting ahold of her.  svensson wants his deposit back.  rza ate my glasses.  i still don't have a driver's license (and it'll be suspended on the 2nd of october if i don't go back into court).  i have unpaid parking tickets.  my new van is missing a headlight, has a smashed blinker, and a huge fucking dent in the side from i-have-no-idea-where/who.  our house has mice.  my bank account is empty.  there's pizza in the fridge, and butts in the ashtray. i want a silkscreen press.  i want to quit my job and make tshirts for bands.  i feel like it's time to start doing real things.  working in a restaurant isn't going to get me anywhere, it will merely keep me afloat for the time-being.  speaking of which, david (fat asshole manager from gg) got fired.  i miss working there (aside from dealing with david), and i made more money there.  masa's cool n stuff, but i feel constantly on-edge. dana truly is amazing.  she makes me smile like no one else ever has. what other thoughts have been passing though my mind lately.... too many.  i will spew more snippets some time later on. 4 will | say something.

[24 Sep 2009|11:11am] [ mood | sleepy ] busy busy busy busy busy busy busy last night we screen printed the yikes! a lion! cd covers, they look fucking awesome.  way better than i had imagined.  come get one!  bryan may is making a zine/insert for us.  sina showed me the concept and it's exciting.  this shit's gonna be raddd. i want to buy a silk screen press.  and a button machine, and quit my job, and tour, and sing, and scream, and drink, and smoke, and laugh, and live, and enjoy every aspect of every day. two days ago was dana's birthday, it was awesome. david got fired from gingergrass, should i have stayed? livejournal is all weird now? living with sean and sean is rad, but it's strange not having the nicks around.  we're training rza, and it's kind of working? i never feel the urge to write in this anymore, but sometimes i feel like i owe it to the online community to update things every so often. it's 11:11, make a wish! 2 will | say something.
