Summer 06 was defiantly one to go down in the books.
It was soo good and it sucks that it has to end and
that school is starting in about 7 hours.
It's really scary that tomorrow will be my last first day of school.
I really hope Senior year is going to be awesome.
I also hope I get into a great college and I get off this island.
It's scary to think about this shit...it really is.
RIP Summer '06
Hello Seniors '07

New Coheed & Cambria CD |
] |
I had to wake up at like 10/1030 ish
it was pretty gay b/c it was for some gay driving thing.
w/e i passed and proved my mom i'm a good driver.
Later went to the school and met up with Corey and Lee.
After that drove over to Roosevelt Mall and got some new food and hung out with some cool kids.
Then came home and Jason picked me up with e.beth and her friend
Then we went around Farmingdale and found out Glassjaw was fuckin playing at the open mic night!!
So we went there and payed only $5 and saw Glassjaw and wow they were amazing.
After that Jason and I got some White Castle and then went through the drive thru and ordered $40 of food and ddin't get it...pretty funny shit.
Then I came home and now I'm listening to the new Coheed album and its pretty amazing.
But all in all awesome night.

On Wednesday was Eric's Rehab Graduation. It was nuts. All his family was there, they're like the Puerto Rican family I've never had. They are all soo simpatico to me. Well on to the story of his Graduation. Everyone was very proud. It was him and some girl named Emily who graduated and they let people come up to the mic and say some words of wisdom to them. So his mom said I should go up there and say something. So I did...I pretty talked about how we were friends since we were the age of 2 and even though he went through all this stuff i still loved him so much like a brother and i would keep a promise to him and his mother and his whole family to not let him slip into drugs again. I watched it happen and i swear I wouldn't let it happen again. I will defiantly keep this promise. Him and his family were all touched by my speech and thanked me very much. I've grown alot from this.
Today is my show at some kids basement in Bethpage...come its free...click here then Days Away at Roosevelt Field Mall.
Saturday is Ilana's Sweet 16 with Lee.
Happy Birthday Evan Malter.
PS Listening to Cassino makes me miss Northstar and I kinda miss having like a real girlfriend :/

Alot has been going on with me lately
My grandpa, who is one of my greatest heroes, is gettin surgery on his heart. He's been on my mind alot. He's getting the surgery tomorrow. I hope everything will be fine with him. He's on my mind and thoughts constantly lately.
And...
My best friend Eric, who's like my brother to me, is graduating from his rehab center. I'm so proud of him and he wants me to come to his graduation on Wednesday and of course im going to go. I'm so very very proud of him. I also promised his mom that I will make sure he keeps clean...and that is one promise I will defiantly keep.
Well on a lighter note tonight i went to the Finch/Rx Bandits/A Static Lullaby/The Exit show. It was alright. This band called The Exit were actually pretty good...defiantly check them out.
Well I'm out...I'll update you guys about my grandpa and about Eric later.

Chroma - Cartel |

Well I was away from Aug 14-19th...left after Warped Tour...which was pretty fuckin sweet.
So from the 14-16th i was in Atlantic City visiting my grandma, her friend, and my aunt.
So while I was in AC I did lots and lots of gambling :)...and boy do I have a story to tell you.
So on the last night I think I played a good $20-30 on poker (the video game one)
So Leonard (my grandma's friend) is playing poker and hes up 225 quarters and lets me play until i get to 100. I get down to a 100 and he lets play til 80..so im going between 80-120 quarters. So the jackpot which was $3400 is 5 wilds, so i get 3 wilds and hold them. I never would of thought I would of gotten I'd get it, but all of sudden I have 5 fuckin wilds..holy shit i just won $3400...so i peace'd because guess what...I'm fuckin under age...but they caught me and I almost got arrested but I didnt get the money...it really sucked....o well...what can you do?
So on the 17th we drove down to Baltimore, but before Baltimore we went to Towson University...pretty cool college. Then on the 18th we visited University of Maryland...holy shit!...what a huge fuckin school I must say. Then on the 19th we visited the University of Delaware then went home...soo much fuckin traffic...then i hung out with Lee, Lee, and Lindsay.
But ya summers almost done and schools soon. lame :(.

oo by the way the new Cartel is amazing!
