Thank You R.L. Stine.

I remember back in the day, elementary school teachers would love to hate on Goosebumps and wouldn’t accept it as valid outside reading material but thanks to Goosebumps I am the avid reader that I am now. I actually read a lot, more than most. Even throughout high school; I may not have done well in English but I excelled in outside reading and I owe it all to R.L. Stine and Goosebumps for getting me to read and love it at a young age.

Day 99

That’s me at my heaviest, Christmas 2010. I’m not sure the exact weight but I know it was up there. I think I passed 240 at one point (244 maybe?, I honestly forget), as of yesterday I was 240. I think this girls face, I forget her name, best describes my current weight situation. For the record, she was doing that face because she thought I was hating on her haha, and I let her believe it cause I’m sure every guy she meets kisses her ass; so when she thought I was laughing at her while she was playing beer pong, I was like yeah, I was laughing at you lol, which lead to some playful banter the rest of the night. I’ve gotten waay out of hand. 20+L-B-S’s since I dated Melanie when I was in my early 20’s and probably around 35+ L-B-S’s since high school. I know I’ve said I’m gonna lose weight in the past but now I’m getting old, I’m running out of being young and I need to be in my best shape now, while I can still go out and party and meet young ladies , plus I want to be in good shape when I eventually move to Nashville, Australia and Paris/Italy and that’s hopefully coming up within the next year or two. I’ve seen a few episodes of I used to be fat and I noticed they give themselves a hundred days to lose, give or take 100 L-B-S’s. I think I’m gonna try it, just go all out for 100 days and see what happens. I’m writing this on day 100 but when I post it, it will be day 99. If I do good, by summer this year, I’ll be in the best condition of my life. I don’t know about a 100 L-B-S’s, but I’m shooting for at least my high school weight of around 200.

New LMFAO!

I saw the video for this today, I downloaded the song immediately. I’m definitely loving it.

Alt Press | Feature | No Money, Mo’ Problems: Why even successful bands struggle financially

Very good article.

Best News of 2011.. so far.

Not that I didn't like Myke Terry, but I just wasn't huge into the two BYD records with him on it.

Definitely excited to hear Mat Bruso back on vocals, heck I may even go out and see them live if he tours with them. Bruso is definitely one of my all time favorite front men. Bury Your F'n Dead!

p.s. I'm gonna start updating this.. a lot.

Girls that have…

accounts are hot, +500,000 points.
and while I’m giving rare bonus points out,
+1 million points for being a
 
fan and
+1million points for being able to play drums

I’d love to meet a girl into NASCAR, or even better, a hot NASCAR driver like
Katie Hagar

or
Mackena Bell

Why I’ll Continue to support “douche bag” clothing labels.

Mainly Affliction and Ed Hardy.
I actually love Affliction, they’re one of my top 3 favorite clothing labels. I’ve been a fan since I first saw their designs. I discovered them when I was looking for new clothing labels to wear. I didn’t want to wear what everyone was wearing so I could be at least a little unique. I started by looking at what clothing brands sponsor my favorite hardcore/metal bands, because I like supporting companies that support what I love. One that kept coming up was Affliction.

Roughly a little bit later I remember when they started showing up on pretty much all the UFC fighters, so I was like sweet. I remember the first designs they had out and I loved them and I still love the them to this day. I remember being able to buy a an Affliction shirt for like $30 and that was the normal price. Then douche bags bought into it, and everyone was wearing it and it kinda took the fun out of it and I kinda got turned off for a little bit but in the end I still love the shirts, so I’ll continue to wear them regardless of who supports them or if they’re the “IN” style or not or the fact that every clothing company out there pretty much has copied their style.
When I went to their website a while back they were playing Polar Bear Club! How f’n bad ass is that.

For those who don’t know who Polar Bear Club is, that’s exactly my point. Polar Bear Club is one of my top favorite bands out there right now and it’s not like they’re a huge band.  Then I visit an actual Affliction store on Melrose in LA and they were playing Rise Against and I could hear a tattoo machine in the background and I was like wait, do you guys do tattoos here too? And the guy was like no, the Manager is getting tattoo’d in the back, haha. I was like nice.
Oh and they sponsored a NASCAR car!

Now for Ed Hardy.

I do like Ed Hardy, I’m not huuuge on Ed Hardy but I do LOVE some of their stuff, not all of it. The main reason I’ll continue to support Ed Hardy is because its tattoos. I love the fact that they’re using tattoo art. If I didn’t love tattoos, I wouldn’t have gotten them right, lol. I wonder how many people that wear Ed Hardy actually know that Ed Hardy is an actual tattoo artist, and a legend at that. He went to the SF Art Institute and still has a tattoo shop today in San Francisco (Tattoo City) although he’s mostly retired. Have douche bags mostly ruined Ed Hardy for me, yes mostly, but I try not to let other people affect what I like and what I don’t, I try to imagine if I was the first one to see this, would I like it and I would, mostly.
Since I think the only people reading this, if any, would be people actually interested in fashion; I’m gonna take this opportunity to throw a “shout out” of sorts to my other two top favorites in my top 3 favorite clothing labels that aren’t necessarily main stream.
1. To Die For

2. Johnny Cupcakes!


I could write another blog about why, but wont.
