CALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFORRRRRNIAAAAAAAAAAAAA | | Sunday, April 23rd, 2006 | | 10:13 pm |
im totally having anxiety about this next tour. im gonna be gone 2 1/2 months with people i have only hung out with once. plus, im leaving all my friends here. its weird, im leaving in a day and im not doing ANYTHING right now. its like people dont get it, or maybe care? i dont know, i get weird like this right before leaving for a long tour. i guess its probably a good thing im leaving. | | Tuesday, April 18th, 2006 | | 10:03 pm |
our december sun is setting.
you know, its funny to think how things once were and how they are now. i guess the funny part is thinking that they will never change. and here you are now, wondering exactly what just happened. life is so weird sometimes. you really dont ever know whats about to happen. you wake up just like you would any other day, then something just happens, and everything is different. today was sort of like that, well this past month has really, but today just threw a little more into the mix. i woke up, went to work and came home to find out that cory (my ex girlfriend of almost 3 years) is getting married in two days. im not too sure what to think about it. ive always had very strong feelings for her. i still do now. i guess i just thought that someday things would work themselves out and everything would be okay. i guess it isnt exactly how i thought it would be and today was one of those days where it really just clicks and you just know that everything is different. i mean, dont get me wrong, im over her, well over her in the sense that i can move on with other people and have accepted the fact of where she is now, its just crazy to think...i mean marriage?! thats such a huge step. so big. the biggest. and even though im over her, having the small thought of us in the back of my mind was nice. theres no harm in hope. i dont know, this is weird. and its not just this, its everything. everything seems different. with the whole roses are red thing, me leaving with another band, moving out of my house, anthony and becca breaking up, people moving away, and now this...it seems as if NOTHING is the same, nor will it ever be. i mean, i know things change and thats part of life, but this seems like an awful lot to be happening in such a short amount of time. i guess things are always changing, but they dont usually move this fast, and now its just easier to see. who knows, i need to find a nice girl and a sweet job. hopefully then, ill be pumped on the changes. sorry for the bitch entry haha.

yesterday was a crazy day. i did a ton of thinking. over it. | | Sunday, April 9th, 2006 | | 6:36 pm |
i just want to say sorry to anyone who planned on hanging out or coming to see me on the upcoming tours.
after a year and a half of touring, i am not with roses are red anymore due to a "business decision."
it really sucks when your friends sell you out like that. especially the week youre supposed to leave for tour. people change i guess. i dont have time for shitty dudes anyways.
thanks to all my friends and everyone i met over the past year and half while touring. you guys rule, i love you all. we had some fun times.
as for tour, i have had some offers and plan on going back on the road in a bit. i am definitely looking for more work, so if youre looking for someone to do merch/crew/or even tour managing for not so experienced bands, i am available depending on the offer. i have really gotten my shit together lately and plan on being very professional about it.
if you have any questions or anything, feel free to message me.
and if you have any concerns or are upset about this recent change, you can leave Roses Are Red a comment HERE
oh yeah and for any of you lame ass kids that are gonna try to apply for the rar job now...its taken so dont hold your breath.
i posted that on myspace today. i figured it was the most acceptable way to put it. i know the RAR dudes arent too stoked on the statement, but whatever, im not too stoked on what they did. it sucks. these people were supposed to be family, i thought they were all my best friends. apparently, that doesnt matter in this business. the thing that kills me the most is tomzenns. he was my best friend and i helped get him in this band. he stabbed me in the back. taking something someone says at a party out of context and running it right back to the guys isnt something "a friend" would do. its something that someone who only looks out for themselves would do. oh well, im sure mark will have a great time doing merch. its funny how quick things change. kevin bro's it down with mark and was probably like "hey man ill get you in rar" and here we are now. now im out a job and a best friend. AND ALSO, its funny to think how much i talked about being stoked on this tour and how professional i was going to be while being with tom, kevin, and even vinny! all the while they just sat back going along with what i was saying, knowing they were going to do that soon. yeah i know i liked to party. and yeah i know roses are red are complete professionals. and yeah i partied a lot and dicked around on the shitty one week crash romeo tour in jan...yeah that same one where no kids came out. the "more bands than fans" tour you could even call it. dont blame your low sales on me. i cant make kids buy shit. sorry if a) they dont like your music b) there are no kids there to buy anything c) even if they did want to buy something, there has been 2 new shirts in the past year, so they probably already have it. whatever, i guess im to blame for this. sorry i worked for free for a year and a half. that really hurt you guys. its kind of funny how 2 months ago they kissed my ass. after that whole steel music hall drama thing where i got my ass beat, they posted on a local message board that they were "staying out of it." and everyone came down on them saying they were "selling me out" and whatnot. they didnt want to look bad, so they kept calling me and trying to talk to me and be real nice. they wanted me to post something saying how "we're cool" and i know that theyre not trying to sell me out. once i did that, they got me pumped for take action, even said i could take my best friend on tour as an assistant. 2 months later, no tours later so nothing has changed, i get kicked out...THE WEEK OF THE TOUR. weird. anyways here's what it comes down to...

im heated
ok so i go to bed last night thinking i have work at 1pm today (they usually call the day before to let me know). so i wake up at like 12:10, and for some reason think its a good idea to get like 10 more minutes of sleep so i chill in bed for al ittle bit more. next thing i know i wake up and its like 1:10, so i jump in the shower and im thinking "fuck that, i didnt get a call im straight." then i go to call my boss and i see theres a voicemail telling me to come in at 12. FUCK. so i called to see if i can still go in and theyre like "nah." which sucks. i was going to go to PA this weekend to see say anything but i dont think thats gonna happen anymore because i cant miss any more work :( anyways, i love hit the lights. the new cd is the catchiest thing ever. i need to get back on tour soon. heres the dates to the next tour:

IM HOME
its been so long since i updated. im starting to think this whole tour journal thing is a bad idea haha. i cant update from my sidekick and internet access is hard to come by sometimes. so im home for a day bc we decided to take the day off and we played albany last night. speaking of last night, it was funny. we played at this place called valentines, there were 4 local bands, then us and chiodos. the 3rd or 4th band was this hc band called the black stallions, they were sweet. tons of kids of kids were moshing blah blah blah. anyways, vinny clled me in the back room (like the band room), only for me to walk in and see brad gilboe jumping on a trampoline naked. haha, it was funny, but thats just where it started, eventually, we push him outside, through the crowd, and into the pit. so brad moshed naked. so funny. all these kids were stage diving and kicking each other and shit, all this stuff that pissed the venue off. they were on edge. eventually, i took the trampoline into the pit and started doing moves on it and jumping off it into the crowd. the sound guy wasnt too stoked on that. he came out with a bat and grabbed the bat and started swearing at everyone. the show got stopped, then somebody snuck the sound guy in the face and the hsow was ended. CRAZY NIGHT. bottom line is i love the chiodos dudes. warped tour was fun. i got to see a ton of my friends that i dont get to see normally. it was so tiring though because we did warped in a van. loooooong drives and hot weather. gah-ross. tomorrow we have a show in detroit, then a day off, then chicago warped tour, then minnesota warped tour.
...THEN HOME FOR 6-7WEEKS. :) | | Saturday, July 2nd, 2005 | | 11:34 pm |

last night in texas
i gotta make this fast because vinny's laptop is about to die. Im in houston right now, were playing a warped tour after party with the bled. its pretty sweet. last night was nuts. after waking up this morning and reading last night's entry, i realized how bad i made it seem haha. the story behind last night is that we played a show with these burlesque girls called On The Fringe. The show sucked, but we got tons of drink tickets so that was sweet. I got soooo drunk. The girls' performance was awesome. After that we headed over to this barbeque at the warped tour grounds. Shit was nuts. I got to see so many dudes that I love and havent seen in a while. I was super stoked. Then after bus call, I headed back to where we played and some of the girls were still there so me and some of the dudes went back and hung out. That place was nuts. Turns out, they were Suicide Girls and Burning Angels. haha looking at a naked girl on the internet and looking up and seeing her looking at you looking at her pictures is FUCKED UP. the best part of being there was exploring "the dungeon." i got to try out a swing, being in a cage, locked up in some shit, whips, all that stuff. haha shit was CRAZY. im stoked. after the show we begin our 24 hour drive to LA. well im not too stoked on the drive, but whatever, california rules. its gonna rule because when we get there we'll have 5 days to just hang out there. no shows. STOKED. its always good to see my LA crew. Southern California is like my home away from home. July 3rd - HEADLINING SHOW AT CHAIN REACTION July 4th - we start warped tour in fresno, ca. we'll be on it until minnesota or buffalo, im not sure yet. rochester - im coming home on july 25th and i will be home for all of august! :) | | 2:48 am |
craziest night ever.
ok, soits been a few days since i last updated. apparently, i cant update from my sidekick. Right now im in Dallas, TX at a DOMINATRIX'S APPARTMENT. this place is nuts, swings, chains, cages, whips, etc. the full nine yards. brian and the girls (3 of them) locked me up in one of those things they would have in the middle of the town square in the middle ages. that shit was fucked up. im not exactly sure how i ended up here, we were at a warped tour after party and somehow i ended up here. i have been wasted for a while. the last week has sucked, except for that we have been playing with he is legend and chiodos. alright i gotta go. brian is riding my ass to get on here. he got on myspace a few days ago and now hes hooked. alright, the pizza is here, im done. cali is 3 days. stoked. www.angelaryan.com www.studioamelia.com thats 2 of the girls webpages. holy shit. | | Saturday, June 18th, 2005 | | 4:48 am |
here we go again...
its 5:48, im leaving for tour in 12 minutes. Another 5 weeks away from home. Dont get me wrong, its gonna be fun, but i miss home sometimes. I miss the people. Well either way, warped tour is going to be amazing and im stoked for having some time off in LA. fuck yeah. were about to make our way to the west coast, playing a bunch of shows with he is legend. that should be cool, their record is sick. the only thing that really sucks about today, well besides leaving, is crossing the border. i hate that shit, they make you feel so sketchy and all im gonna wanna do is sleep. well the van should be here any minute and i have to go say goodbye to my family. | | Friday, June 17th, 2005 | | 6:18 pm |
