It's great to be alive and well...

Don't take life for granted, if you do, you'll eventually regret it.. Good times and bad times this past couple of weeks, many joyful memories, and some that I'm glad are over with.

Anyway, I'm skating again, trying to get back into a good physical condtion.. Playing bass, music is my drive, without it, I'm nothing..

Talked to some old friends this week, has been cool, I miss them, you know who you are. I want to talk to some of my other disconnected friends, you know who you are.

Anyway, my hair is know short, yes, summer has come and I had to shed the winter coat to survive. Plus every single male is growing there hair out, so I wasn't standing out from the crowd anymore, and you know how I hate blending in.

Velvet Revolver is coming to town on Friday, and I have my ticket to the mayhem... I can't wait.....

Going to Vegas, and Mike is coming with me, then after that, we're driving to Venice Beach, California, it will be a summer to remeber..

Music Midtown is on it's way, and I almost have all my money for the ticket.. I can't wait, many memories.....

Anyway, that just about sums up what is on my restless mind right now..

Ciao

Hello everyone....

Has been quite sometime since I last posted on here...

Well I have been grounded for a long time, and I'm still grounded, Im not supposed to be on here, but I am.

Anyway, it's spring break, and despite all the plans I had made to go down to Florida and raise hell with the crew, I am once again stuck in Hell County. Yea, well, I'll make the best of it, at least I won't be in school.

Anyway, good times and bad times so far, hopefully nothing but goodtimes for the rest of the break, cause that's all I live for.
I guess that's just about it for today you rascals, adios.
