1. Flights, Folly, and Mel Gibson

    I want to blog more. I complained that I don’t because it takes me an hour to do so. I’m doing the Kurt Approach: Just type strait no matter what.


    Warped tour was as it always will be: Spontaneous, and unpredictable. This summer had a lot of suck in it. Thought some friends were friends, kids don’t like to spend money or they don’t have it, it was amateur hour on repeat,  and a majority didn’t go to warped this year,  The only thing that truly got me through warped was my friend Andrew W.K. Everyday was a party. A cardio work out to the extreme. He gave me a gift at the end that tops all gifts ever. It’s going on the wall, and it will never be sold. No matter how much unpleasentness and disrespect was thrown my way it didn’t matter. Andrew was playing at 11:55 or 2:45, or even if I was lucky 7:50.

    What I have left to say about it is about you. You were the  biggest disappointment. We are actually friends. I talk to you multiple times a month. I care about you. No one else there truly does. No matter the politics I was there for you. Then, when asked to help me out one time you just write off your friend metal, and didn’t even talk about it. The biggest disappointment.

    I wish I could have saw Eva before I left. It’s something that I live with these days.

    The MITE record is finished. Mike Day is one of the most amazing people in the town of Albuquerque. If you’re a band record with him if you want to hear platinum and gold knocking on your door. 

    Right now i’m reaching out to all my friends be it older or newer, in the ABQ music scene or not to go to the MITE release shows. If I hear another “I’ll try” I’m going to pull my hair out of my skull. It’s a month away, there’s two shows, and I’ve seen or supported their project be it art or band (multiple times). Is an “I will” that hard. All I’m asking is just this show, pick up the record, smile for five minutes. fuck.

    Miles got a concussion at a Bane show in Denver. He had or still kind of has some short term memory loss. Things are back to normal now, and we are working on getting Tim and Karie up to par for our release shows.

    Karie is like… wow. I had no idea that she is the nicest person of all time, and everyone in the area respects her as a sweet heart. I’m stoked that she’s in, and is willing to put in the effort, that she does so effortlessly without being asked. I think I was scared to have her a bit. Or more like I didn’t want to overwhelm or scare her away, which I do to some people honestly. She had just left a project she was in for a long time, and when you’re in a single band for a lot of years, and then it’s over it’s really hard. You reassess your life and you almost tell yourself you never want to work that hard and feel that way again. It’s almost like falling in love, or connecting with peeps while making a float in highschool for a football game—when it’s over, it’s over. I no longer fear scaring her off. She will always remain a free musical spirit that does her thing as long as she is comfortable, and with us I think she’s finding a snug place to be completely insane. 

    Alex looks like Beetlejuice. Not the character, but the black midget. I swear it. Tell him that. I want it to burrow in his skin.

    The new MITE record is pretty amazing. After listening to it for a bit in its entirety I can say it’s honest, and real. Finally got to hear and understand some lyrics. “Forget my name, forget my words, forget my desperate attempt to be remembered.”

    The shows are going to be insane. Walking on heads insane hopefully.

    Spring-Loaded Hotdog and The Ill Motion are the greatest dudes on the planet.There are some peeps that rank up there too, but man, I have the greatest time around them and they are real.

    Saw Vertigo Venus in the mall the other day. It was awesome. They own it when it comes to dancing for your life.

    Working out NYC CMJ stuff. Miracles are happening.

    Played killer Mario Kart with Jessica, Justin, and Kurt. I’m talking killer.

    I want Jesse’s couch, chair, and coffee table.

    Kurt and I listen to the Mel Gibson tapes every day. No shit. It’s the best shit.

    I’m getting a job soon or something.

    I hate that fucking dog.

    Amanda was here with her friend. Totally rad. Wish i wasn’t so busy.

    I was on campus. All the ladies with hoop ear rings better holla back.

    Gotta love Karl.

    I’m a huge Brock Lesnar fan.

    Got stood up I think the other day. I’m not sure exactly what happened. I’m so busy that I never think to follow up as much as i should… or i got stood up. I was able to eat the fruit and chef salad I had made for the picnic. I forgive though. Busy lives we lead.

    I wish i was on battlenet all day long, but i’m not. Too busy.
