Pain room

Well It has been a long slow six days for me. I have been sick with a really non common virus called Peritonsillar Abscess Tonsil. I'm not writing this to gain symphony I just need to sit and do something for half an hour cause the new meds say so... And I also wanted to tell people about it.

Enjoy

So I thought I would tell you what they had to do to me. I visited the doctor on the 26 of March to see if I had Strep Throat, a day later it still hurts but test results came back negative. So they just put me on some semi powerful meds. Then I was still in pain by Friday night I needed to see them again When I saw the doctor he saw my Tonsils and how swollen they were, he then just sent me straight to E.R or shall I say Grey's Anatomy... anyways I arrived to the E.R they told me that they would need to cut my swollen parts of the mouth open to drain all the puss out. So I had to prepare my body by taking all the best drugs that dealers on the street can't even sell. Then when my blood pressure and all that other E.R stuff was ready two guys a surgeon, and a nurse went in my mouth with needles a scalpel's while I was awake!!!! hacking and poking away at. The good thing is it was like a boxing match it hurt, but I got to take breaks...Thank you Jesus.

So now I am finally home, and feeling better if you actually read all of this Thanks , and keep on praying that my voice come back cause me and the boys of Dice Box have a show this Friday in Modesto at the underground mark the calenders.

Needles Drugs, and Happy

3x+(9-5)=_________

I felt I needed to blog again since some people have told me I have been lagging at it. It's funny how people will actually take time out of their day and read my lame and same everyday life. I thank you though it means you care...I also heard some people have been starting one of theses as well and some say that I have inspired them. So I feel that I have achieved something...I don't know what it is but...I feel good about something.

So We played a show the other day, and mite I say it went swell. We had a lot of people there. Most of them have never seen us live before. So that was cool to gain some new listeners.We played one of our new tunes "Super Nintendo" I thought it went well. We then went to the city of San Francisco for some meeting about a show in the future. We even took a new picture, cause apparently people want to see NEW 1's and by ONE we did only take 1. Sorry if that last sentence confused you I was trying to make it look like one of those MATH..?'s

New shirts are in the making, which we are all stoked about cause we're getting two designs, and I think you will want to BUY!!! them. That was cheap advertisement I apologize.

The Roots.......not of a tree

It has been awhile since I have been on this here BLOGSPOT. SO I thought I stop by an pay my dues. Where to start well the other day was my buddy Johns 18 Birthday so I went to my old town where I grew up most of my life until sophomore year of high school. WE had a blast I haven't seen some of those people in awhile and it was really a blast from the past with all the stories we remembered growing up and it was different this time cause instead of roasting mallows in the open flames of the fire like children we all had cigars so I guess we grew up. I don't encourage smoking, and I don't consider myself a smoker. We later watched films that we as neighbor kids made and had a few laughs along the way... I realized I wasn't that good of a Guitar player back then... I believe it is always good to visit old family and friends. You will always have a good



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Johny Boy

Ryan TV "What are you watchin"

So I have been enjoying watching what Ryan Wood has been watching. This probably sounds weird, but just hear me out. So every time I check the good ole Myspace he has a new video clip or show on his video section on HISspace. So I watch everyone he puts up for some reason, it’s like he’s my new Direct TV.

Thanks, Ryan (rye rye)

Lost....Happy...DemoListen

I have finally got HOOKED on another T.V. Show LOST!!!! It is amazing how they make you want to never stop watching it. Aku got me to start watching it. I have always wanted to get in to it I don’t have T-VO, and I never really had the time So me and Eric started to watch season one on NetFlix. Now we have been on different episodes cause of our schedules. So now we have been watching them on ABC.com I have been so into it I even made my own laying device with a couple of pillows and blankets and a chair put laying down. I know sounds pretty nerdy and Lokish… if you know what I mean. So I think I will be caught up before Season four starts.



HAPPY
__________________________________________________________________________________
This last weekend was quit splendid. Sharla came up for three days and we had tons of fun. We went to the movies to see that recently new film JUNO. I would have to say I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see her again she just always makes my day even I don’t see her, cause she still makes it when I think about her. (Shout out) MISS YOU girl.


The DemoListen should be out by the end of next week…We have been getting some paper cuts from all the CD stuffing we have been through…ha The art work on it is a comic and Austin feel, He drew the cover here is the picture. We have been playing a lot of shows as well so that is a somewhat good excuse to be behind. I have been I a work out plan. I call it the Ryan Work Out. He has been telling me I should do some certain work out’s. So I told him I would try my best. I just think he doesn’t like my lanky pale body.

First of 08

So I haven't been on here in awhile. So I felt the urge to get back on the bloging life. Well I know that Christmas has been gone for some time now...but I had a wonderful Christmas. I got to hang out with a certain blonde haired girl I like talking to all the time...wink She has these shoes she has been wearing that drove me crazy. They were FAKE uggs. I know I sound Materialistic, but they were Ecko brand so, they were very Hip Hopish. I just thought they were so ridiculous, but I loved that they kept her warm, mainly her toes. She did happen to get some new shoes she is very proud of though. She got the shoes everyone else has, but wait she got a deal, only $19.00. Woot Woot!!! Maybe that’s why I like her. So any ways the band has finally finished our part of the DEMO. We have been done for about a week now, and we’re just waiting for it to be mixed. The name of it is called DemoListen. a little play on word action we got going for you kids. I'm proud of it. We have been playing a couple of shows, and they keep getting better each time. We also have a lot more to do. I started school again. I only go four days out of the week, and all my classes start around five in the afternoon. So I guess I can't really complain. My sleep schedule has changed a bit due to the recording process of staying up late, and I have been living with my buddy Eric. So we basically we stay up, and watch movies cause we can't hang with our gals, cause there both down in So Cal.TEAR thank God for those Strawberry Daiquiri's (don’t worry non alcoholic). It does suck that I haven't seen my girl in a while, but I have been thinking of just taking a trip down there. I really want to take the train though, cause it will be cheaper, and I have never taken a train anywhere. Other news is that Dice in the Icebox will be playing at the Kodak theater. So that shall be fun along with some other shows along the way there as well. i just really want to say and Big thank you to all of you who have come to a show or have bought something from us. We really appreciate it. I hope you will enjoy the DemoListen.

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
