Snakes..................

So I just received a picture of Erik’s new pet snake Charlie. I freaked out at first , cause I hate snakes and the thought of being around them. I think I get those feelings towards those reptiles from my uncle Indy………(joke) that brings up his new motion picture coming out in this upcoming year of the 2008. Oh I just can’t wait.. So I see everyone has been putting up bulletins on the year 2007, and who was their best drinking partner and best friend for odd weeks and even weeks of a certain month. I tend to think that it’s ridiculous to write things about that, but I’m not saying that to be mean. So I thought I would put my top favorite albums in 2007 so here they are:




My Top Ten
In particular order

1. Foo Fighters “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace”
2. Paramore “Riot”
3. Relient K “Five score, and seven years”
4. Jimmy Eat World “Chase This Light”
5. Thrice “Fire/Water”
6. Switchfoot “ Oh Gravity”
7.Radiohead “Rainbow” I know it comes out the first of January, but that doesn’t count I know it will be great.
8. Jon Foreman “Fall EP”
9. Angles & Airwaves “ I- Empire”
10. Cartel “ Cartel”




Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays

My project...

So, as I've have been getting ready for recording my demo with Dice in the Icebox, I have had no time to write new material, because they say we need to focus on the main stuff at this moment it's the songs that will appear on the demo. So by saying that, I have (OCD)...cause I love writing a new jingle or song a day. Now I’m not saying that these new tunes will be good or bad, but I think I may start doing some new music things on Shane Jones and the Streetlights. This means I have to make a new "MUSICSPACE" The stuff will mostly be slower than my usual material, mainly more piano and acoustic sounds, and some funny sounds as well such as Ukulele whistles bells and more. These will also help me later on with Dice Box material. I feel so Materialistic from saying the word “material”…anyways this is just my new way of writing songs with unusual sounds. Don’t worry I promise I won’t be on drugs, or make it sound like I am.

Thank you!!!!

So tonight, or really last night was amazing. I went to see Relient K and Switchfoot with opening band Ruth is was very good, in San Jose. I have been hearing some rumors about Matt from Relienk ask a member of the audience to play Saddie Hawkins with them. (Not my favorite song, but still cool) So my little bro Kyle decided to make a poster, cause Jon one of the guitarist of Relient K told him a poster would be good to have...any ways Kyle made a poster that said Pick SHANE. Matt read it out loud and said "WOW! You came prepared you must be a Boy scout?" So they told me to come up on stage with them and I did Ethan from old band Suprtones gave me one of Matt's guitars and then I went off on the stage and began to play. Jon held at me on stage telling me to play by him and do some standing on the monitors to look cool so I went with it. There were a lot of people so it was nerve racking at first, but then a whole lot of fun. After the show I got to meet back up with the RK boys and switchfoot we talked for awhile about old bands and where I lived cause apparently John and Ethan have been around the blocks of my neighborhood a couple of times do to friends a I have pictures of this night on MYspace if you want to take a looksey...


This Blog goes out to

Kyle, and the boys of Relient k

Some times you just ponder....

So last night I couldn’t go to sleep. I was wondering the house, and came across my scrapbook my mother had made for me. (Thanks Mom) So as I was looking through them I felt like it was a "blast from the past", good movie by the way. So as I finished I felt the urge to write a Poem. Now I haven't really written a poem in awhile, so I don’t really know how it's going to turn out. I dedicate it to all the people who have been with me in one of my life stories. You know who you are.



PHOTOS



Looking through photos can be rather intimidating

You see ones you like and ones you dislike

You pick and choose you pick and choose

For the ones to keep and the ones to loose

Certain photos bring up other stories beyond it

Some sadden while others make you happy

Like the time when you asked that girl to prom

Or when you had your first kiss

Or having someone close pass

You pick and choose you pick and choose

You see family you see friends you see love you see hate

You see bad times and good times

You pick and choose you pick and choose

In the end life chooses you

The weekend.....

Friday I got to go shopping with Brad, Chris, and Ryan. We went to a thrift store, so it was like a shopping spree....We were actually buying clothes for a cheezy Christmas picture, that we would be part taking in with the band. The coolest part was that Chris bought some undersize ice skates, for only $7! Now that’s a deal, but to bad he would never get to skate in them. So the next day Erik came back from So-Cal to rehearse and to take a picture with us. The funny thing was it took a long time to get in "the right spots" for the photo; it really seemed like a family photo especially with Erik teasing me in my lame outfit. Just like my cousin Lindsay, which is used as a guys name in Canada, yes he's Canadian. So I guess I am too. The weather also helped the mood of our setting; it was raining really hard so it brought out the winter in us. Any whoooo we finished the photo, and headed off for some real good Mexican food. TACO BELL!!! When we finish ed with band stuff most of us headed different ways well the ones who had a girl to go to. So that left Erik and me alone. So we decided to see some old friends we haven't seen in awhile. I love doing that because I feel I loose touch and when things like this happen I feel I gain it all back. We ended our night with a little HALO 3 action. It was my first time playing it, but I think I could get away with saying I'm good. After all my bussyness was over I became a little apathetic towards the next day, and decided to stay home, not shower eeeeeww, and watch movies, and a new TV sow (to me at least) called Little People Big World. I'm really hooked on it for some reason. I have been doing a lot of thinking these past days, and I really don’t want to finish school. I mean I love certain classes, but I know there are more things to life then listening to a lame lecture only to get a passing grade. I still am going to finish school don’t worry. I just hope I can take a little break for some future goals of mine to be achieved.

Anyone for some Sonic's

This happened a couple of days ago, I just now wrote it.

Well Eric and I were on are normal night out. We normally go to a Starbucks and grab some coffee, and talk about how lame our day was. this time we decided to drive all the way to Tracy which is about a thirty to forty minute drive. We had to drive there cause that is where the only Sonic's near us......I know seems crazy, but those kind of things happen around here in small towns. so we finally arrived at our destination. We were so excited about this moment too, but when we pulled through the drive through. The MEAN....nice lady sorry were closed, Eric replied "what time did you guys close?" Mean lady "um about three minutes ago" We were three minutes late,for our blizzards.....mmmmm they would have been good. So we drove to a Weiner place. By that time I wasn't feeling up for some ice cream, but Eric was so he ordered an Oreo shake. So happens they just clean out there shake machine five minutes ago. At that moment we really didn't like odd numbers. So we both ended up eating two corn dogs, with a dab of mustard, and ketchup, and some soggy french fries, washed down by our tasty beverage. we ate outside on the back of Eric's tail gate of his truck, then out of no where I felt water on my face it atrated to rain......I'm not trying to sound like a baby but it sure did top things off to not having Sonic's.


So remember Sonic's in Tracy will close no later that 11:00pm

The latest, and lamest.....

I haven't been on this in awhile, my apologizes. I have been up to the same thing every day, work, school, and Music, but between some of those there has been some cool things that have happened.

Dice in the Icebox has been cracking down with the work as in new photos and videos(podcast)mostly. The coolest thing that has happen to us is last weekend Chris and I and Mr. wood (Chris dad) Went to go and pick up some of the new Recording equipment. It is some very nice products, we have three sets of (AKG 414) which is a very expensive Mic, it makes us sound a whole lot better.....uh and a bunch of other cool gismo and gadgets. We are even writing this birthday song so when its you birthday you will receive this little song on your Myspace page. So hopefully we will have a good demo done by December, for our Kin and friends to give a listen to. So stay in touch with www.myspace.com/diceintheicebox for new things coming.

I recently went to a Halloween party with some of the guys in the band. We all showed up at different times, but when Brad showed up he looked a little familiar as in his costume. It turns out he had a name tag that said SHANE. I was kind of weirded out, but it was funny he had my look down to the very last spot. He even put some dirt under his nose above his lip to pull of my new mustache look. It still looks like dirt but its getting there. I will be shaving it after Turkey day. I've noticed that some people I used to go to High school with don't really recognize me cause of my lame stache, and the way my hair is growing out. I ran into two of my old class mates, one was at A Gas station and I gave him a hello and he was like....huh and same with another one at the movie store. It is some what said to me, but I never really cared about it till now. I feel sometimes I have lost some really close friend ships to ok friendships. I am always to busy for some of them, I feel really bad, but it is always fun to catch up with some of them. I'm even to busy for some of my good friends now, and they have been with me since I was in the small schools. speaking of school I really dislike it. I know I need to get my education, but this whole English junk and random math......I mean come on. I do love my Music, and recording classes though.

Today is Halloween, and basically I will not be wondering the streets with my little bothers trying to get the most/best candy. I think I will be staying home, hanging with Brad, and Eric. We will watching a scary movie and handing out some candy to children. Man do I feel old......

Oh.... Football

My favorite Football team is finally strarting to pick things up. They just won again, thanks to Donte Culpepper. Who has been second string but after his performance on the field today with three touch downs he ran in by himself. I think He may be first string now. So I am pretty happy about today. I also stared to write some new tunes for you Dice in the Icebox. They won't be done yet, because I still need to figure some stuff out. but hopefully they will be great for all of you out there.

Im writting small now cause I may be a little childish. I have been watching High School Musical 2, and so far it's pretty good and I wish I watched it before so for all of you who haven't seen it yet. Give it a chance you may like it.

Have a Magical day

The Lonely Pin

With eking pain the pin had to go, and the only way for it to do so was to give it a couple of turns and pulls. My buddy Eric had surgery awhile ago for his foot. They had to put a screw, and a long pin inside his foot. I went to the Hospitol with him. So I got to see all this happen the pictures you see are pretty grosse, but I had to put them up so you could get a better fill for it.

Dr. shane

Fill me up

With some water and some more medication. I went to the Dentist the other day to have two fillings done. They hurt so bad, because the little shot they gave me, that felt like a friendly prick didn't really work. So there I was lying on my back with at least three dentist toys in my mouth, drilling, and hacking away. Then the dentist's assitant put some kind of tooth paint gun in my mouth and sprayed away like I had bugs in my mouth.........eeewwww. After all my tears dried up I had the courage to walk off that office and, go to my car and drive myself on home. ( I lied about the crying part) Kids remember BRUSH you teeth as much as you can.







I went for my two mile run today. I like running cause it's the only thing that can keep me in shape, now that I dont play volleyball anymore. Occasionally I will play some sand court but that's rare, becasue I never have the time but when I do it sure is fun.

I missed "The Hills" last Monday and I can never find the dang re-run of it. Does anyone know what happens?


Shane

A good Thursday

It all started off by waking up with the ring-ding-dong sound, from my phone set at 8:25. So I guess I got some good shut eye. I went to my first class, and left early. She let us go. Then I came home to have two Chimichangas, and some oh so refreshing Diet Coke.....mmmm. I then got to watch my favorite (scripted/reality) t.v show, the"The Hills". After awhile being a potato on the couch. I got a call from Karla. she treated me to some coffee at Saxby's. Kudos to her. To the Greeks it means glory. I also skated with my little bro Logan. I love doing this because it's the only time I really get to hang with him. I never have time to hang with him and my other brothers cause I'm either busy with classes or with the band. I do have two other little brothers but they weren't with us at the time. they skate as well. Just not as well as Logan, but Dylan the youngest is on his way. I kept up a little but, when he did That!!!!!! I just walked down those stairs, that he nailed that rail on. I recently found out that one of my close family friends did a contest to meet that cast from "The Office". She is in the Top 25 in the nation. So maybe............it could happen. Any ways I'm going to hang with two of my best buds Eric Ailleo, and Erik Aku. It's said because this may be our last night that were all togher for awhile. Cause Aku is going down to Long Beach for college. I will also be heading his way in the spring while Eric, follows his fathers foot steps in becoming a Fire Fighter. Thats right a true hero.

------------Shane---------------


ps. Don't have coffee from Saxby's their not that good.

This is New....

So this is my first Blog post. I really have nothing so say, except for a Hey. I hope I can start bloging alot during my free time I have, when i'm not doing something more important with my life. Hope you enjoy them.
