Ok, I haven't been on here in forever because my computer crashed and I forgot my password so I had to go through that whole process. And still nothing new is going on. Summer is coming so soon and even though I'm still going to be going to school and working, I'm looking forward to it. I'll have money in my pocket and I'll be having good times with good friends. So I've been learning some new songs as well as writing my own. Right now, I think I have like 5 or 6 songs completely done and ready to record (recording will also be done this summer with Gregory). Me and Gregory also have another project that we are going to be starting. Since over the years since we've known each other, we've videotaped a ton of shit from cruising around to playing band shows to just doing stupid shit. This summer we are going to put together all of the footage and put it on a DVD so we have it to keep and have the memories so we can watch it whenever we want to and it's going to be absolutely awesome. Me and him are also going to write a few songs together and hopefully collaborate on each others songs so that should be a great time. I'm sure we'll have a great time doing all of this shit.

I forgot about my list of my 100 favorite songs of all time, I realized that it is really really hard to try and figure all of them out, haha. So I was recently asked for my top 10 favorite bands of all time and that is also hard. But as of now, this is how the list is looking -
1 - Blink-182/Boxcar Racer/(+44)/Angels & Airwaves
2 - Taking Back Sunday
3 - New Found Glory
4 - Motion City Soundtrack
5 - The Early November/I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business
6 - Senses Fail
7 - Brand New
8 - Dashboard Confessional
9 - My Chemical Romance
10 - Foo Fighters

That's how it looks right now. I'm sure it would change rapidly, but as of now, that's what it is. There were some bands that are close calls, but that's what I got. This summer, I'm hopefully going to be on here more writing about my recording process, school, work, and a bunch of other bullshit that no one really cares about except for me. I'm going to try and figure out my 100 favorite songs but it's going to be quite hard I'm sure. As those close to me know, there's not many songs that I will listen to beginning to end because I get bored and switch to a next song and shit like that, that's just how I am, I am not big into repetition, I like shit to change a little bit. I say that but the majority of the songs I've written are probably repetitive too, haha. But here's a list of songs that I've learned lately on the guitar -
Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime
The Early November - Come Back
Foo Fighters - Times Like These & Everlong

I have been watching the Foo Fighters live DVD lately so I've been addicted to trying and learn more of their songs and I'm working hard on learning The Best Of You acoustically lately. It's a tough one but I'm working hard on it. Usually, I check with Lauren to see what she thinks of my latest song choices because she hears a lot of them that I play haha. And just for her, I'm trying to learn the harmonica part that Adam Lazarra plays when he plays Divine Intervention live. I've got the guitar and lyrics down to the entire song, but I know absolutely nothing about the harmonica, so I'm working on it. I'm sure she'll enjoy it (ILY Lauren!). And that's pretty much all I've been up to lately. I get to pick my classes for next semester on Thursday so that should be pure excitement, haha. Until next time...
