Hi there. Alright so TRA has two new rockin songs you can hear at our purevolume site (http://www.purevolume.com/therenownedarmy).  We've been working on new material inbetween playing shows and playing jenga.  Look for a release late summer/early fall and cheap merch littered with The Renowned Army and trash cans. Baseball is still going as long as we keep winning.  Tomorrow we're at amsterdam for the semi-finals. If we win we play friday night at Joe Bruno stadium.  Playing under the lights brings me back to the tourny days with the blue jays.  School isnt really happening anymore. APs are over, final projects have been assigned, and since i cant work on mine in school that doesnt matter either. So for the next month i just have to wake up and waste time so i can graduate.  Not really as fun as it sounds though. Last night's 24 has put me in the mood for watching an entire season right now. Anyway...keep coming to shows if you have been and if you havent (that goes for basically everyone in scotia) get your ass out there. I will bring you if necessary.

Jesse's ipod was stolen at our last show 5/22 at New Age. This thing costs $400 and hes a hard working guy. If anyone knows anything about it please contact one of us. And if we do find out who took it, we will all beat the shit out of you.

stewarts ice cream dash...tomorrow....11:29....its on!

I think im getting sick again for another vacation.  I dont know who to blame for this one but i think i'll go with winter in general.  Em and i went to visit her aunt and uncle in pennsylvania this past weekend.  We got to take a train straight into philadelphia.  After passing thru airport-like security we got to see the liberty bell and the outside of independence hall.  Then we went to something that really mattered, hard rock cafe for lunch.  Later we found this awesome indie record store down on one of the side streets.  I picked up the new paint it black cd 2 weeks before its release.  If that store was located up here i think i'd have no money at all after a couple trips.  Her family was really nice and made me some sweet dinner and breakfast.  But best of all was getting to see the most perfectest girl in the world first thing in the morning and last thing at night. 

Upon my return i havent done much besides work.  Which isnt too bad since i have no more money and want more now.  I need sleep however that continues to be a problem with my sickness.  I think im just gonna stay up really late listening to music and watching tv until im too tired to care whether i can breath out of my nose or not. And......aqua teen time. Later

Hey alright so i havent been up to much these past couple weeks. The band played a show this past saturday up at new age.  It may have just been because we havent played a show in months but it was awesome.  Alot of people, alot of bands, alot of people i hadnt seen in a while.  We played fairly well. Hit the notes, didnt mess up, and ran around like the out of shape musicians we are.  Lost City Angels put on a rocking set after us. Before hand they had complimented us on our performance. I didnt really know who they were but there kind words meant so much more after we saw them rock the shit out of their instruments.  Great bunch of guys, i would highly reccomend them.

After a relatively sucky weekend tonight was great. Emily and i went out to dinner at the macaroni grill. We got there, got seated, and got our food no problem. A much different experience compared to last valentine's day. Fortunately for her they gave us oil to dip our bread in so she wouldnt get beat at butter hockey. I love her more than words could ever describe. She is the most beautifullest girl i have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on and i will never understand why she wastes her time with me. I hope someday everyone can find their own equivalent as emily is to me.
