can't sleep again, lame. update this stuff I guess.
in addition to trying to work on a million other things as well, i really need to start making a blog with purpose. i've been kind of strapped for brain-storming, but anyone who actually reads this, feel free to let me know how you feel about this idea...
Since losing my SD card a few weeks ago I haven't been able to take pictures. Although I definitely have the money right now for one, anyone who knows me knows I'm a cheap bastard and will legitimately make-do with anything I have to avoid buying new shit. My back-up SD card is only 16mb, and I was quite shocked to find it can only hold 4 pictures. For blogs sake, I figured I would try to take the misfortune of losing my SD card and try to turn it into something positive. I'm thinking of possibly starting a daily (hopefully, or possibly weekly) blog where I can only upload 4 pictures a day. I'd tell a story with them and try to fill in gaps, which would give me a chance to work on my writing skills. I don't know, it's an idea, but I really need to start legit working on a website or something for when I graduate and get to big-people world. this new blog would probably be on my more business-friendly WordPress (

I'm excited to play this Friday night at Halfway Cafe for Taylor's 21st birthday. Seriously, if you're 21, please come, we'd all love to see you. Free appetizers. Wii sports will start around 9 or so for anyone who wants to play, appetizers will come out a short while later, then I'll probably start playing music around 9:45.
I played a small show at James the other night, it was fun. Meaghan Casey took some rad pictures, as seen below. I'm excited for Perilli Stock in August as well, it's Friday the 13th. Come, it's seriously a killer time. There will be a whole bunch of bands spanning many genres of music, lots of people go, there's a pool and always mad food.
I seriously love playing music in front of people but truth be told it's fucking scary as shit. While playing music is my hobby, Communications is my major and I've done tons of public speaking stuff. I feel like I should be a little more easy about it, but seriously I feel like freaking out every time.
People tell me I'm good at it, and even today A friend of mine told me, "I really think you should speak at [this thing]....You're extremely well-spoken, you can make people laugh, you tell stories well...."
I just feel that lately everytime I go to open my mouth nothing comes out.
