Title: yeah my stomach hurts.

this past thanksgiving weekend was purdy alright the only reason why i'm writing in hear is to get my kreative juices thinking kuz i need to start writing again sooo i'm gonna try what worked before and blogging random novels on this thing worked perfectly before so maybe it'll work again. damn i woke up and i had this in my left eye ball socket...its still there..like i was all forcing tears while i was driving and i even tried klosing my eyes and rubbing it out and yeah i was driving with my eyes klosed for only a kouple seconds but whateverz i don't think i was even paying attention this morning when i was driving to skool i was jus koncentrated on trying to get that thing out of my eye socket and its 1011am and its still there damn thing. i am now listening to PANIC!ATTHEDISCO...on an interesting note i listened to their demos on myspace when they just posted it...like they only had like 10 listens and zero downloads and i checked it out and i said to myself "ehh its alright..its that synth stuff" and now they're one of the new "IT" things in the underground indie scene..how strange is that...so now i am going to listen to everything kritikally again like how i used to when myspaceandpurevolume just started...kuz hopefully i'll find something thats really good and they'll just so happen to be lokal and i'll book a show w/ them so later on when we make the ep and put in the kredits bands: we kan list them and people will say later on in a kouple years "wtf they played with them back then thatz krazy?!" but yeah this panic stuff is quite katchy...lyrically very refreshing...the use of repition in their single is really kool...i mean yeah the breakdown is very very weird at first but it does make sense if you take into account how its supposed to be danceable rock...i wonder how long it'll take them to get a synth player in the band...but yeah i like their songs so far...as much as i do like them i still haven't the drive to purchase their CD..if i found 10 dollars on the floor yeah i'd drive to best buy and buy it right away but right now i am satisfied w/ listening to their songs over and over and over and over and again on purevolume...what else...oh i shoulda watched Iamghost at DiPiazzasback in april when they played there..darn *snaps fingers...i think they kould get really big...they already have the krazy fan base all over so cal CA...but its quite interesting how to gained this fan base...they gave away shit loads of free stuff...the only catch was that the people would inturn have to promote the band by posting flyers..passing out burned cds..giving out stickers...sometimes shirts...but i wonder how they financed these endeavers...but yeah its very ingenius how they won over the masses...i think we should use some of these tactics to to our advantage when we're ready...yeah and to think i really didn't like iamghost when i first heard them...who else didn't i really like when i first heard them...oh falloutboy..i didn't really like them when i first heard them but you know it grows on you...hmm who else...i didn't really like CLB when i first heard them but when i saw them play i was like "whoa these kids are quite entertaining"..hmm who else...i kan't really think right now...but yeah it is quite interesting how music tends to grow on you over time...i was reading somearticle online about sales and how to sell more cds and blah blah blah it was saying something like the bands and artists we like we don't necessarily like them kuz of their musik(this goes for most independent up and coming acts) but we like them kuz of our relationship and our feeling about them and the konnection between artist and listener/concert goer...so it basikally said if you wanted to sell stuff you had to sell it yourself and you had to be social and yada yada...and even before i read this this is what we would do w/ our merch and what not..just hang out after and before and during shows and you know work it in the conversation and they would just buy it...or i dunno maybe its kuz how we treat people as just plain people you know we hang out w/ them and ask them how they are and we kinda bekome their buddies in a sense...i'm using the term buddy very loosly but yeah...thatz also what i noticed w/ the independent bands that i really like...like i don't really like their musik as much as i'm kool w/ them as people..well i mean usually the musik and the personality of the band goes hand in hand when i meet independent bands..like uhm StalkingRoxy when i first heard their musik iw as like "whoa this is kool Ska...the guitar tone is wayyy different i have to check these guys out" and then in person they aktually remembered my myspace picture and the message and whateverz and we chatted about bands and highskool and there was some kind of rapport made...and then there was the follow up you know..chatting online and hanging out after another show...yeah i guess that made a pretty big indention into my way of acting as a person in a band you know..lik ewhen i saw time and distance that one show they weren't very chatty or anything..i mean i kan understand they were a touring band and they looked kinda tired but still you know even if your dead tired you still gotta ask how the people are doing or whateverz something about where they're from...where s agood place to eat after the show..or anything random or stupid you know...like the hanks..that one dude phil the trombone player/synth/keys/vocals guy was kool..he was like add our myspace and IM the band kuz they're usually bored and i dunno it was stupid but kool at the same time you know...damn my stomach hurts..i need to take ashiznet but the bathrooms aren't very klean...i wonder how long i kan hold it..damn my hands are already tired of typing...i guess i'm not used to typing like this anymore...damn my stomach hurts..fuck...but if i leave then someones gonna take my komputer..shit...i need to krap...ok wait its gone again..ok back to typing...hmm ok so thanksgiving weekend was kool i guess...jus going house to house and eating...i mean its not like before..nothing major...we didn't even pray or anything and say grace it was jus like walk inside the house and say hi to everyone and go straight for the food...i guess you kan say that types are changing...hmmm...i saw harry potter...i like it..it was purdy kooll aktually..the whole time i was trying to figure out what the ending would be like..kuz ever since i took that akting klass and they told us the graph of a movie/play you kan figure out what part of the movie/play it is and you kan proally figure out the ending if its obvious..but yeah i kouldn't this time kuz i missed like the first 5 min. so like when i walked in i wasn't shure if it was a movie preview or if it was a part of the movie...so yeah damn i missed the beginning ...i'll watch it again if someone pays for my ticket haha...but yeah so if you wanna watch it and you need someone to watch it w/ i'll go as long as you pay for the ticket...if your lokal maybe i'll drive you so its even...but yeah i like the movie....i kan't wait for the Da Vinci Code movie..kuz i read the book so i wonder how it'll goo you know...all i know is that the chick who plays Sophie is hott so thatz good..i woulda been xtremely dissapointed if she wasn't....and tom hanks is in it so it should b good...oh i saw the trailer for the new superman..damn that looks good too..i wonder how the turn out will be..hmmm king kong looks good to..damn i wannw atch that..kuz peter jackson is directing it..but i don't feel like paying hahaha..so yeah if you wanna watch harry potter or king kong but you dont' feel like driving and you live in Long Beach kontakt me and maybe we kan arrange something...taking a 20 min. break from typing...ok i'm back...so now i'm listening to Copeland another band id idn't like when i first heard th emusik..but i really like now..my brother doesn't like them i think it annoys him but i really like the dynamics of their songs and the melodies...its like heavy and soft in the same song you know...which is quite a change from the usual punk and pop punk and powerpop and synth pop that i usually go to for melodies and rythmchanges and wha tnot..but this is different..yet still similar..but still very much different in a way...damn someone IMed me and i klosed the box kuz i thought it was Popup hahaha so to whoever you are my bad id idn't mean to deny your IM i jus thought it was an annoying pop up....yeah...finals are koming up and i need to do really reallyd good on two of them so i kan pass the klass..so far i'm only passing 4 out of 6 klasses which is purdy good...but i need to pass ALL 6 so i don't have to take them again...kuz yeah i wanna graduate spring of 07 and that is the goal..to graduate then...so yeah i must make that deadline..so i kan start working fully on Sun Doominal things...so yeah we might make shirts who knows kuz we're thinkign of ways to accumulate more capital w/out loosing money but gaining and strengthening fan relations...so yeah shirts is the idear..but when we tried to do that w/ stickers we jus gave them away haha..and its the really kool sticker design too..which is kinda funny..ohw ell whateverz..as long as the kids are happy..but yeah maybe shirt designs..two designs is how we'll start off but i want a really really kool design..D$ is kool w/ a whatever design and i think Neil has idears for some..but yeah i think the shirts need to be really kool kuz if they're whack thatz a poor representation of who we are as a band...and so they kan't be whack...and they kan't be too "scene" either...kuz we don't really akt or dress scene or follow that mentality...and there kan't be checkers kuz we're not fully a ska band w/ horns that ONLY play ska..kuz we play whateverz we want...and we still don't have a definite definition for Sun Doominal so it has to be creative and defining in a way so when peopel see the shirt they're liek "damn thatz a kool shirt..who are those guys?!" you know...like when i see a kool band shirt i think "damn thatz dope" but when i see a generic one i go "oh they're jus trying to make some money" yeah...and while it is true we're trying to make a lil more money then we have now so we kan have enough money to record and produce the album i still want the design to look really really kool....something that i'd wear and i'd approve you know..kuz if you don't nkow i don't really spend my money on anything..i dont' even buy gifts for peopel..so yeah when i buy something it HAS to be good...so yeah...we'lls ee...yeah i think our songs r good enough to demo for a producer but if we get one of those that'll cost even more then what we kan afford and i personally think we really need to make this one on our own..like push ourselves to the limit kuz if we do then it'll turn out really good and it'll finally be something i kan spread around the internet and release onto the masses...so yeah i need tos tart prakticing everyday again...and i need to start going back to the gymn....the excess fat is good for insulation but bad for the arteries and the cholesterol too damn..i have a check up in january and i'm not even shure if i decreased it..so yeah i need to do that...and i need to start studying for finals..damn and read the books for winter session...hmm...i wonder who IMed me..proally something whateverz.....damn its only 1117 and my klass starts at 1pm...and the komputer will log me off at 1130..hmm what to do what to do....ok i guess i'll end it here.
