i really should update this more often..i'm not sure why i should, cause nobody reads it anyways..
i forgot my password when i tried to sign in..haha..i tried 3 different ones and finally it worked..turns out i had the wrong username in..i'm stupid...
i just got a poo attack..brb...
okay i'm back..lets see..what happened since i last updated..
i finally joined facebook..yeah yeah shut up..it's actually pretty cool..i've talked to people i haven't seen in years..and i made some new friends..not to mention all my current friends actually talk to me on there so it feels like i have friends again hahaha....unlike on Myspace...facebook's music features suck though..you need to give them a photo ID or some shit? too complicated..Myspace is definitely number 1 in music networking.
speaking of music...Suburban Losers are doing pretty well now..we have shit for sale on suburbanlosers.bandcamp.com also Basement Sounds Volume 2 is done and up for free download on bandcamp..so check that shit out and BUY BUY BUY! also, we have a demo complilation in the works (by us) called Hat Salad. it's gonna have all of our best songs, picked out by us, from the 2 Basement Sounds CDs. the collection will be up on bandcamp after we run out of CDs. we're selling them at shows for a dollar, limited to about 19.
Amber has been working a lot so i have not been able to see her much, i saw her Monday into Tuesday and Wednesday morning but now she works a lot again..i've been so bored at home, and i miss her, so it sucks. i got my band though, to ease the pain.
speaking of the band again..we entered the Break contest, if we win we get on Bamboozle 2010 in New Jersey. woo. i honestly can't see us winning though, or even selling the 40 tickets involved in it..that's up to our friends to help us out, or anyone who feels generous enough to buy one..i am offering free music in return..so i don't know what you're problems are..fuckers.
Common Enemy next Friday! it's gonna be amazing..make sure you watch us..
Music is the cure for all emotional pain..writing music and screaming it out 2 or 3 times a week is the best medicine..
Stay True.

Big News
soooooooooooo....
Suburban Losers have made a deal with Massachusetts based DIY label, Just Plain Awful Records. Dan Shedd is the dude that runs it, with some help from close friends and the bands on the label, but this dude is like the next Mike Park of Asian Man Records..he runs the label from his room and does all the printing and distro himself..it's really DIY, we're happy to be helping him out and doing releases with him. He's gonna re-release the Suburban Losers EP, and also release our 2010 yet to be named or finished EP, we're thinking about calling it Judgement, and since we have 3 covers made up, we probably will, haha. this is gonna be great, he helps book shows so hopefully this will get us more shows, the EP is almost done, i sent him a CD to burn off of yesterday. to coincide with this release and promote it more, we have made an infomercial, and we're planning on making another music video. as for now though, here is the infomercial....
hope you all like it..it took awhile to make, but it was fun to make, so that's okay, hahha.
other than that, everything is basically the same..OH NO IT'S NOT
we have new songs up too..listen to www.myspace.com/suburbanlosers. these are brand new songs we just made like 2 weeks ago..we plan to debut them live at the Common Enemy record release show..which we have tickets for..so please buy! haha, 10 bucks!
that seems to be it for now..my job sucks..still..hate the bitch that runs it..and her little puppet..but anyways...
i'll be 21 on Monday..lame..i hate getting older..but i get to prove everyone who says "edge til 21" wrong..Edge for life here...fuck you.
Stay True.

R.I.P. Chuck Biscuits?
just a few things on my mind..time to blog!
influential punk rock drummer Chuck Biscuits passed away last weekend of throat cancer...no wait..he didn't..it was a HOAX?! who the fuck would do that?! some douche bag pretending to be his wife apparently..that's fucking low..i mean..i say a lot of things that people would say is low too..but I'd never start a death rumour about someone famous...a lot of people were saddened by that news..to find out its fake is a relief but still..come on...
i was wondering..before blogging and social networking sites..what the hell did people my age do for fun? like..what were the 90's like for people like me? Internet was there but it wasn't as cool and didn't have as many sites and there was no YouTube..so like..what the hell? I'll have to ask my brother what he did..i know he played in a band and played his instruments a lot in his free time but so do i..but like, the little nuggets of free time in between those important things..what were those filled by? sleep? no..maybe..maybe the Internet is the cause for so many insomniacs these days..who knows..do i care? well..i guess not..i just wanna know what the hell these 90's..or even 80's..no lets go back to the fucking 1800's..what did they do for fun? i guess fight in wars..that's why people joined the army back then cause there wasn't much else to do..hahahah. i probably would..i if i died it wouldn't matter cause what would my life be? corn maker? nah fuck that..let's kill each other!
I've discovered many punk rock gems stemming from one of my favorite punk bands None More Black..i heard of Kid Dynamite and Lifetime and read about them with much respect because they influenced bands i love such as New Found Glory..but i never listened..today i am..and i am now a fan...thank you Lifetime for bringing us Kid Dynamite, None More Black, Paint It Black, and The Loved Ones..all being from Philly might i add..local pride..well 2 hours away local pride but still..real local pride..COMMON ENEMY! ALIVE IN THE MOMENT! BGL! READING REPRESENT! HELLS YEAH! anyways...
so my quest for thin starts today..i bought two bags of 3 packs of gum each so i have 6 packs all together..when i feel the need to snack i just chew gum..cause i snack when I'm bored..and I'm only gonna eat when i feel hungry now not just cause the food is there..i need to get rid of my belly so i can fit into my XL shirts i have a lot of..it better work this time..i guess i gotta exercise too..we'll see when i get that serious hahahaha.
oh..i used to be really exited about halloween..not even when i was little but like..last year, haha..now i just don't care anymore..i don't know why..i haven't celebrated by listening to a bunch of horror punk like i did every year..i guess I'm just getting older and more cynical and will soon stop giving a shit about taking a shit...fuck. kill me before I'm 40 and nothing is fun anymore, Kay? thanks.
i love food.

...And So It Stops.
so we as a band, and me as a person, have been hit with countless bullets of good news in the past 2 days...here it goes..
first off, someone at DQ quit, so that means that i get more hours, in terms means more money, in terms means i may have money to save or waste now. plus i'll have personal money to help out the band if we so need it in the future, which we will.
secondly, the new Lawrence Arms came out, so did the new Misfits, both cheap as hell on itunes so i just bought them, cause the pirate sites didn't have em yet, whatever its like 5 bucks gone from my account that i would have used to get fatter anyways.
thirdly, the new Common Enemy video i'm in for "We're Under Attack" is done! i'm hard to see at most parts but it's still an awesome video..check it out:
We're Under Attack
COMMON ENEMY | MySpace Video
and now onto band stuff...
i gave the money and the image to Stoyer, he said he's gonna order the shirts to print and they should be done in a few weeks. sweet.
also we were given a very generous review by Fungalpunk in the United Kingdom. you can read it at this link..
http://www.fungalpunknature.co.uk/FUNGALPUNK/CDReviews/Page%201.html
we're also on the page for the Song of The Month, called Myspace Snips. he picked The Movement from the Suburban Losers EP. check that out here..
http://www.fungalpunknature.co.uk/FUNGALPUNK/MyspaceSnips/MyspaceSnips.html
in other news..we have the Common Enemy release show tickets! we're selling em for 10 bucks so anyone who wants one just comment me here with your info or message us at www.myspace.com/suburbanlosers
anywho..that seems to some up the exiting news..not to mention we have a show next Friday at Alexander's..but yeah...
oh yeah! Cody has a new guitar we borrowed from Jason's uncle..and it's awesome..normal practices again! yay!
Stay True.

When Will It Stop?
so we've had a string of bad luck lately..PA speaker, mic stand, a mic, and our spirit all broke at the Oct 16th alexander's show..PA speaker has been fixed, mic replaced, mic stand is still usable but annoying..and our spirit..its hanging in there...cause on top of all this, we can't play the Oct 30th Scranton show because of 2 facts..no van that day, and Jason's stupid job that likes to screw us over (this is the second time). to top it off, Jason has personal problems this weekend, Cody did, hopefully they're fixed, and I AM SICK. what kind of sick? oh no, not a stomach flu, no ofcourse not, it has to attack my goddamn throat, the thing i need to yell at practice. fuck you. i hate it. i've been doing all i can to get better by next practice but that may not happen..i'll just refrain from singing and we'll play Cody sung songs cause i WANNA FUCKING PLAY. oh..and the worst one of em all because it's not fixable..Cody's guitar is done..it fell off his strap at practice and hit the floor..the neck is severed..fuck..and then we tried out my Ibanez that i bought from my cousin..and it sucks..so much hissing and feedback and it goes out of tune every song..but yeah..Jason's uncle will have one for us on Monday..hopefully it's good.
anywho..our only hope to get back to the happy point that we were at, is these comps that just came in the mail, and our next two shows, Alexander's with Zipperbeam and Common Enemy's CD Release show at croc, which we'll be selling tickets for, lets just hope good luck takes over by then..also we're recording Basement Sounds Vol 2 soon..so that should be fun..hopefully..
gah i'm hungry but i'm not..

FUCKING PIZZA!
sure has been awhile..sorry about that, haha.
been quite busy with stuff..first off, the Common Enemy video shoot was a success! and it was fucking awesome! a lot of fake blood, and fake violence, haha, i loved it! you can see all the pictures at www.myspace.com/finalrevolution, actually i lied, myspace wouldn't let me put all of them up, but most of them are on there!
as far as band stuff goes. did i tell you we're recording with Bryan Piontek in New York? well we are, and we're going to demo the songs in the basement really soon, so keep an eye out for those tracks. we plan to do a 6 song EP with him, but we're going to demo all the songs that will be on this EP and the next one. we'll be selling that demo cd for a dollar most likely, so we can raise money for the EP recording. i can't wait! haha
we also have a show on friday with Alive In The Moment and Shitlist as the headlining acts, we put this show on, so i really hope it goes well. with the band lineup, i'm sure it will, haha.
we're also going to be selling tickets for the Common Enemy cd release show at the croc rock, that show is gonna be killer. so buy one! haha.
well i really want some fucking pizza, so i may just go get some.
Stay True.

Completed Common Enemy "Beer Bong" Video!
Beer Bong
look for my plaid shirt in the pits, haha. i'm also in one of the camera circles holding a cd.
tomorrow i will be joining them again for another video, only this time, i get to live one of my dreams - i get to be a ZOMBIE! i wanted to be a zombie for something, anything, movie, video, picture, whatever, since i discovered George Romero's Dead series when i was 15, and now i get to live it! thanks to Common Enemy/Justin Enemy. this is gonna be awesome. i have to wake up at 7 or so, Jake is picking me up at 8, and we gotta be there by 9. i think shooting begins a 9:30, i don't know though, i forget, haha. i get to wear zombie makeup and shit too, it's gonna be great. i can't wait to show you all the finished product of that video.
anywho, new plans for our next EP. we are going to record in NEW YORK with Bryan Piontek once again. he offered to do it, and we weren't dissapointed before, so we agreed. not sure when it's going to happen, we might hold acouple shows just to raise money for it, cause he's not free, but he is giving us a discount, 25 an hour, as oppossed to 40 an hour which he wants to start with in his new studio. so i'm exited about that. as of now we're still raising money for shirts, and we may just do another Basement Sounds since we're not sure when we could even get started on the new EP. we still want new shit out there, so Basement Sounds may be a go after these next few shows. so maybe be on the lookout for that, no official plans though.
we've also began work on an infomercial for the Suburban Losers EP that we've had plans to do for quite sometime now..so..once that is completed i will post that one too..it should be funny, it was fun filming the stuff we did today, and we will probably have a blooper reel or something at the end of it all. so keep an eye out for that.
as of right now, i need to poop, and shower, so i'm going to go accomplish that.
Stay True.

Ants In My Pants..Remember That Game?
so i am now loving Paramore's Brand New Eyes.
and AFI's Crash Love.
i knew they would grow on me.
i am getting pretty antsy lately, i wish we could play shows either everyday or every weekend. i love playing, i love the feeling, nothing compares. we play a show but once a month, and i'd like to play more..well i guess we just have to keep going for it, sooner or later we'll have more shows than we can handle..i hope anyways.
practice today, and friday, which we'll also be filming an ad for the Suburban Losers EP, which is gonna be fun, and HOPEFULLY help the sales, if not, who cares, it'll be fun, and funny (to us anyways). we also have a bunch of other videos planned, i don't know when they will be filmed, not Friday, that's for sure.
i'm really looking forward to our alexander's show on oct 16th. there's gonna be some great bands, you should come.
i had some more insightful crap to write than what i have, but i forgot everything i wanted to write..probably cause i'm tired, i never get enough sleep anymore..blaaahhh...
well then i guess this is the end of this entry, if i remember what i was gonna write, i will write it later.
Stay True.

Crash Love/Brand New Eyes
did i ever mention that i'm done giving people advice? no? well yeah, i'm done giving people advice. apparently my advice is useless, so fuck it.
anyways..
i just listened to AFI's new album Crash Love. it's alright..not as good as their early work, which Davey Havok said it would resemble..LIAR! it is good though..better than Decemberunderground which is a piece of crap Depeche Mode featuring Davey Havok album. Sing The Sorrow is fucking amazing, i don't care what anyone says, it rules. to me, they changed for the worse in Decemberundeground, which seemed to have kind of rubbed off in Crash Love since they're still not up to their best, in my opinion. they don't need to revert back to East Bay Hardcore if they don't want to..it's their band..but i would like an album that isn't boring or a piece of crap (like Decemberunderground). it's okay though, cause they have not lost my faith just yet, unlike Weezer.
i am currently finishing up Paramore's new album, Brand New Eyes. Hayley Williams is hot, i know, everyone else knows that i think she's probably the hottest musician out there, haha. i AM however, a REAL fan of their music, i LOVE Riot! and their first record isn't that bad either. Brand New Eyes is good, would say amazing like Riot!, as it kind of runs together and lost my attention by the middle of the record..but it's still a good listen. i would definitely choose Riot! over it anyday though.
maybe i must listen to both albums more than once to really appreciate them. for all i know they might be my favorite albums of 09..no, that's impossible, cause Alkaline Trio is releasing a new one..haha. anyways, sometimes the albums don't catch me right away, so i need to hear it a few times to really appreciate it. i am actually about to check out AFI's new one again, just to be sure.
referring to my last entry, everyone, Edge or not, needs to check out Edge The Movie. it actually shows you what we're all about and that not ALL of us are retards who think we need to kill people who are not Edge.
check out the trailer at http://edgethemovie.com/

we had a show on Saturday at Alexander's with The Marx and Tight Fits, Animal Train was supposed to play but dropped, i don't know why...
but anyways..it was a great show, not a big crowd, but i want to that everyone who did come out, everyone who sang along, danced, whatever you did, it was amazing, and i appreciate any and every second of people enjoying our music. it really makes me feel like i matter in this world and that what i am striving for is actually working and that i'm not a complete fail. so thank you so much to anyone who even payed attention for 5 seconds, anyone who head banged once or twice, anyone who thought we were okay, and last but not least, everyone who actually enjoyed us (you know who you are). oh and thank you to Steve from the Marx for buying a cd, that money goes to the Suburban Losers Charity Fund For Shirt Making, CD Recording, CD Copying, And Any Other Bullcrap We Might Wanna Do For People Who Like Us, otherwise known as the S.L.C.F.F.S.M.C.D.R.C.D.C.A.A.O.B.W.M.W.F.P.W.L.U. Organization. this time around its going for shirts, based on our song Kevin Smith, you can see the shirt on our myspace in the my photos album. anyways, back to the show, all the bands did great, even us, we played very well minus a few little unnoticable fuckups, it happens, nobody is perfect, but the Marx were great, their last show though, but their cd is awesome. Tight Fits reminded me a lot of a toned down Shitlist, whom we are playing with on October 16th at Alexander's. Awesome. by the end of the night, we got paid, again going to the tshirts, by the time we're done with these next 3 shows we should have enough money for tshirts, and hopefully all the bands on the 16th show stick to their words about show trades, i know Mikey from Alive In The Moment will, he already is putting us on a show, info for that to come when he gives it to us, but yeah. should be awesome, i'm so exited for the next shows, i wish we could play shows everyday, or go on tour, i LOVE playing shows so much, the exitement isn't comparable to anything. it feels so awesome to get up there and show people our brainchild, crack some bad jokes, and have fun. this is what i want to do with my life, nothing will change that.
anywhore, i miss old school Weezer, Pinkerton is an amazing album, so is Blue Album, and pretty much everything before Make Beleive, which sucks, so does the Red Album, and their new single sounds horrible. sorry guys, you rock but you'll never top the first 4 albums, Blue, Pinkerton, Green, and Maladroit. maybe someday you will and i'll love you again, but as of now, nope, sticking to old school stuff. brings back a lot of old memories of being 13/14 as well. fun times.
oh! there is finally a Straight Edge film coming out that doesn't make us look like assholes! fuck yes! can't wait!

BRING BACK XANGA!
let's see.....hurt my back again today! yay! not. it isn't as bad as before, but hell, it still sucks and hurts when i move it. if i remember correctly though, movement was good for it. how is it that i can life heavy couches and shit for my brother and it doesn't even hurt the slightest bit, but when i try to lift a dresser for Amber, it destroys itself. makes absolutely no sense. ah fuck it, i'll be fine.
i was reading through my old Xanga (well, one of them, i had A LOT), and i realize i was once very insightful, and i cared a lot about other people. nowadays i could give less of a fuck about people who aren't my friends, unless they wanna be friends. i was also really despressed and suicidal back then for no good reason. i really wanna go back in time and kick myself in the nuts for being like that, fuck, i had no reason to be despressed. yeah i was lonely and bored but come on..i could do whatever i want with no responsibilities and no living paycheck to paycheck worrying about money and shit..damn i have REAL problems nowadays and i'm not depressed at all..i'm very happy actually..so what the fuck? maybe it was highschool..that pissed me off a lot..but i loved hanging with my old friends in high school..so fun..but anyways...i'm not embarrassed about being such a dumbass, i think we all were in our mid teens, so here, read my old xangas, and PLEASE make fun of me, okay? i deserve it. haha.

by the way, i was EXTREMELY lame back then as well, so be warned. Xanga was fun though, people actually cared about the blogging aspect of social networking sites, unlike now when people share their inner most thoughts in small amounts of text or brief comments and messages and random ass bulletins that are usually boring surveys with the same fucking questions. gah! fuck that, i miss the blogging, i miss the comments ABOUT the blog, i miss XANGA! lucky we have Blogger/Blogspot, such an awesome site. my time here reminds me of my time with Xanga, except i'm older, wiser, filled with the idon'tcares, and i have everything i wanted back then (a band, a girl, great friends, which i had back then, too). face it, Xanga has been dead since the dawn of MySpace, and MySpace will soon die with the dawn of Facebook. i HATE facebook with a passion, my reasons are a whole other entry though. so if MySpace dies, goodbye social networking, hello daily blogging. social networking is getting boring anyways. i still love Twitter though =)
i hate being old, i know i'm not that old, but come on, to quote Alkaline Trio, when you're only 20 it's not attractive to complain about your sore back. though Dan says 23, it's the same idea. fuck!
big shit coming for Suburban Losers, shows, shirts, new EP(s), awesome shit, stay tuned! i'm fucking exited.

Common Enemy Music Video for "Beer Bong"
so tonight i was invited to be in Common Enemy's new music video for "Beer Bong" off the new record "Living The Dream?". originally the whole band was invited but Jason got sick and Cody had chores. so i went with my friend Jake.
it was so fucking awesome, they shoved everyone into this little room as they played Beer Bong among other songs. everyone circle pitted in this little ass room and in the midst of it all there was an entertainment stand in the back of the room with glass doors that ended up shattered after the second time we pitted. it was crazy awesome. after they got those shots we went down to the garage where they beer bonged out of this crazy ass contraption that Jake made. Justin Enemy filmed all that among other crazy shit going on in the garage. overall it was a pretty awesome night.
there were 3 Edge kids there, including me. these guys are all really cool about us being Edge and we weren't bothered into drinking or anything like that. see people? EDGERS AND NON-EDGERS CAN GET ALONG! just respect each other and everything is cool. Gary, their singer, said to me regarding this topic "just don't be an asshole to each other and everything is cool, simple as that" those aren't his exact words, but yeah. which pretty much goes to show that not all Edge kids are violent assholes with the need to kick everyone's ass who drinks and smokes, and not all non-edgers are assholes who need to rib at us for not drinking and try to force it on us. respect is a two way street, people. i hate hanging out with the assholes who need to pick at us for not doing shit, that's just disrepectful. none of these people are like that though, which is really awesome. everyone respects eachother and their personal decisions.
so anyways, i had an awesome time, i'll post the video on my MySpace and on here if i can, just keep an eye out for it.
oh by the way, do you see the irony in 3 Edge kids being in a music video for "Beer Bong"? i sure do. haha.

Cinnamon Toast.
so i had the weirdest dream.
i dreamed that i went to a small comic book/t-shirt store and i saw a Miley Cyrus shirt ( i have no idea why that would be at a comic store) and i wanted it, but didn't have any money, so i stole it, but when i got home i found that i had stolen a medium sized tour shirt of a bunch of metal bands, i think i remember slayer and drowning pool being on it, and i was pissed cause i really wanted that Miley shirt. (i'm not sure why i'd want a Miley shirt, besides wearing it as a joke). i woke up confused. confusing dreams are confusing. i don't like them, but at the same time, i do, cause it makes for interesting thoughts in the morning, like trying to figure out what the hell they mean. apperently every dream means something, but i'm not sure what me stealing a Miley Cyrus shirt and it turning out to be a metal band shirt would mean. maybe it means Miley is gonna start doing metal? haha! i don't know. i hate metal though, i'd rather listen to Miley than listen to metal. oh! i had a leather jacket in the dream too, i stole that. funny thing is, i'd NEVER wear a leather jacket.
i need to shower pretty bad..and shave..i have a gross neck beard right now. i thought i would sleep in today, but i didn't, and i'm mad at myself, i blame Miley.
oh, Cinnomon Toast rocks, no it's not a band, it's Cinnamon Toast, you put Cinnamon Sugar on Buttered Toast, it's amazing. why am i capitalizing all that stuff? because it's AWESOME! pay attention..jeez..
Stay True.

Son of a Bitch.
man, i have long gaps in between blogs..oh well.
so Suburban Losers went from having no shows and a lot of downtime, to having 4 shows within the next 3 months and a future recording date. damn, that's awesome. we'll be recording with my longtime friend, Billy Bevans. we're gonna redo all the basement sounds tracks with him to make a free digital EP. we'll also be doing tracks intended for Basement Sounds Vol. 2 that we will release as another free digital EP. awesome, i know right? i am very exited about all this going on. we're gonna wait until after our shows to start recording, cause well, we're still trying to sell the Suburban Losers EP (our debut EP), still $2, still not selling, blah, i really wanna just give it out for free, cause i want people to hear it but people aren't willing to pay for it, even though it's only 2 bucks, but we can't, cause it's one of our only ways to make money for the band, which also include shows, and we don't always get paid for shows. what we need is shirts and other merch we can sell. stickers and magnets and buttons we'll probably always give out for free unless we pay a shit load to get em made., which punkbuttons.net has affordable prices, so we probably won't start charging for them. i think we're gonna put the EP up on bandcamp after we sell em all, or maybe once we get shirts, so we atleast have another way to make money. see, we're not IN IT FOR THE MONEY, but getting paid for doing what you love is nice, and plus we need money to fund for band stuff, such as merch, which we have to pay to make, or maybe recordings, saving up for a van so we can go more than an hour and a half away from home to play shows, and even schedule a tour. our regular shitty jobs don't pay enough to afford all that, all the time, and plus that money goes elsewhere, such as bills, food, yanno, stuff we need to live?
anyways...enough about me being super exited about upcoming shit, and bitching about money...how are you? oh that's good...ehhh maybe you should go to a doctor? no? okay.
did you ever like, rip a hangnail off your finger and as a result, the side of your finger in between the nail and the skin hurts real bad whenever you touch it? i did, yesterday, and it hurts like hell to type and play bass. bleh! also my computer keeps freezing up and it's really pissing me off..so i'm going to stop writing this now...
by the way! Amber and i had our 2 year anniversary on Saturday. can you believe it's been 2 years? i can't. they've been 2 pretty awesome years though. happy 2 years Amber!
Stay True.

Pizza, Pizza!
remember the Little Caesar's guy? how he always used to say that? yeah those were good times, and i ate half a pizza by myself today, not from Caesar's since they don't exist outside of a K-Mart anymore. does that make me fat? yes, yes it does, but that's not what this blog is about, nor is it about pizza, ironic title, eh?
so i was walking today, and i decided to cut through the cemetery like old times, see, i used to hang out in the cemeteries a lot just to clear my head, because well, they're peaceful. nobody can bother you there cause everyone there is dead, but that's not the only reason it's so peaceful to me, you know what? i'm not even sure why to be honest. i've always had a weird fascination with death, and no i'm not saying that so i can sound dark (even though when i was 15 until i was 18 i had an "i'm so dark i wear black all the time and talk about death like it's awesome" phase), but i have an intrest in what happens, like what goes through your head as your dying? who do you think of? do you think about your life? are you scared cause you don't know whats coming for you in the after life? i don't know, i wish i could die and then come back and tell people what it was like, but of course that's impossible, unless you're like, a zombie, then of course you'd crave flesh and be unable to speak words, that is if you're a Romero zombie, okay now i'm just getting off topic here..anyways, what i'm getting at is that the cemetery is still quite relaxing, but at the same time, it's just not the same as it was before, i didn't feel as relaxed or as good as i used to feel when sitting there, then again i didn't sit i just walked through it, maybe i should have walked slower, i don't know. i still always wonder what everyone buiried there was like when they were alive though, and how they died. also, the slight relaxation i do feel from walking through there is a result of the fact that no matter what, you're going to end up dead, which should give everyone a reason to persue what they wanna do in life. don't live for someone else, live for yourself, and be with someone who is happy living with you, not someone they want you to become. i'm persueing music, i don't care if i end up homeless and broke from it, it's what i want, i want to play music, i want people to listen to what i write and hope they like it. most people just fall into the norm and do what they're suppossed to do, not what they want. sometimes though, the norm is what they want, you want a degree in physiology and a big house with 3 kids? go for it! more power to ya. you want to be a olympic skater? do it! you want to break your leg just to see what it's like to be in a wheelchair or on crutches? WELL GODDAMN GO FOR IT! well, most people don't want the last one, or the skater one, but you get my point. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. because after all, it is YOUR life, and if you fail, don't be angry or depressed, try to make light out of it. hell i always try to make light of negetivity, cause it makes myself feel better about the negetive situation or the tragedy or whatever. you know what i mean.
i guess what i'm trying to say is, we all die, so follow your dreams, go to school if that's what you want, play music if that's what you want, if you want to be the manager of Burger King, do it! (hell yeah, free burgers!) but please, PLEASE don't live your life in someone else's shadow, be yourself and do what you want. cause after all, if you're not living your life the way you want to live it, then you're not really living.
i do beleive dreams can come true if you work at them.
Stay True.

(oh by the way, when i was walking through the cemetery, Alkaline Trio was playing on my ipod (ironic cause they're dark right?) and it was a song that Dan Andriano sings, and here comes a guy walking down the hill that looks like Dan but much older with a grey beard, hahahahaha! it was awesome.)

Busy Busy Busy
so it's been awhile, eh?
yeah i've been quite busy (and lazy)..especially today, me and Cody called a bunch of venues to book shows..of course half of them were either disconnected or whatever..but the other half we made some progress..pretty much all of them don't book over the phone, i don't know why, they like to book online, so we're waiting for responses. This is good news since we ALMOST opened for the Misfits, but the fucking guy at croc wan'ts a 160 dollar down payment, WHAT THE FUCK? i have no idea why, money hungry? i don't know, point is we can't pay that, so we can't play it, sucks yeah, but oh well, we probably would have been first, and we were gonna be downstairs anyways, so people probably wouldn't have paid much attention to us, especially if they wanted to keep their spots on the main floor for the Misfits. i can't blame them, i'd do the same, haha.
anyways, i've heard that 2 people have had the Suburban Losers song "Kevin Smith" stuck in their heads. Of course that song is about the famed director. i wrote the main riff and the lyrics to that song and it just feels so good that 2 people have MY voice stuck in their head. it's crazy, it's almost like people are going to start taking us seriously now. we are a serious band, we work our asses off to get our name out there, book shows, flyer shows, give away music for free so that people will listen. hell, we're probably all going to go broke over this band, but quite frankly i don't care how broke i get doing this, cause it's my fucking dream, and i'm going to keep fighting for it until it happens, people will know Suburban Losers whether they want to or not. cause we won't give up until Kevin Smith is stuck in everyones head! hahaha! no, we won't even give up after that happens, hell, i'll give up when i'm dead. yeah, that works.
so we might have a show on october 30th, still waiting for a response to that, hopefully we get it. tomorrow though we're doing another acoustic show at Hot Topic Berkshire Mall. i don't give a fuck what anyone says about Hot Topic, that store rocks, and so does the staff at Berkshire, they've helped us get our name out so much there. We've flyered there, played so many acoustic shows, given out CDs, hell that store is like our outlet for promotion and i love it! so thank you very much Hot Topic Berkshire, you'll forever be our friends.
man i'm tired..we practiced today, acoustic and electric, i tried singing Normal Ones, like, actually singing it. Normal Ones is a song that i wrote lyrics to that i love so very dearly, those lyrics mean a lot to me and are the best lyrics i've ever written. Cody was so kind as to write a riff to it, and i was going to sing it, but he sung it so well that i just told him to do it. Lately i've been wondering what i would sound like if i sung smoothly, and then i was talking to Becky and she said i sounded good because she saw us do an Against Me! cover at our first Hot Topic show that i actually sang, and she said i sounded awesome, so she told me to give it another shot, so i did. i think i sound alright, i need some work and i'm not confident enough yet to start writing songs in which i sing smooth and i'm not confident enough yet to sing smoothly in front of anyone who isn't the band yet, but maybe i'll get there, who knows, for now though i'm sticking to what i'm good at: yelling my face off! no that was really lame, let's just call it yelling aggressively.
anywho, i should get to bed, practice tomorrow and the acoustic show tomorrow, gotta get some rest.
goodnight blogosphere.

Work Sucks...I Know.
oh joy, back to the monotonous, depressing, tiring work life. the weekend was fun, now it's back to no fun, tired eyes, tired mind, tired body, tired soul...well you get the point.
i hate work when it's not something productive (as in band stuff, etc) but i have to go, i need money, pretty damn badly, and sadly (rhyme) my only means of income is working at the bullshit king known as Dairy Queen (well ours is the bullshit king..i guess it's also a drag queen). everyday i i care less and less about this place and i think by the end of this year i'll either be working somewhere else (hopefully) or still stuck at this damn place with no motivation to care at all about working there. i just hope some other store hires me, and i'm trying my hardest to get another job and hopefully get an overnight stock or janitor job or something, cause let's face it, there's no way i'll ever cure my insomnia. i tried no caffine, i tried getting back to a regular sleep schedule, nothing works, i can never fall asleep early no matter how hard i try, and if i get overnight hours, i will not only get many work hours, i will also have something to do with my late night evergy that i always seem to have when i'm at home alone. i think maybe when i'm with my girlfriend i like sleeping because i feel secure and all that stuff when i'm laying next to her, because when i'm alone, i don't like sleep, it's more like a chore, something i have to do because i have to get up for fucking work. it's like i can't let the tired come naturally anymore because i have a job, and i guess i need to be miserable to make money, unless my band gets signed or something, someone sign us please? i'm going crazy..
ah fuck it, why do i bitch? it gets me nowhere, i guess i'll just have to try to deal with it until something better comes along, hopefully an overnight job, cause i can't work afternoons because it'll interfere with practice, same with evenings, so it's either morning or overnight, and i'd pick overnight over morning, so i'd actually get sleep. i'm getting to the point where i actually black out at work, is that dangerous? maybe, but i don't think so, worst that could happen is some fat ass might not get their ice cream right away because i accedently dropped it on the floor from blacking out. who am i calling a fat ass? look at me! no, we're not getting into how much i need to lose weight, this blog will go on forever.
well i guess i should go get ready for work now...
Stay True.

Straight Edge..for life?
okay, if you're not Edge, fine, whatever, everyone has their freedom to live their own life right? right. so now that we got that clear, what the hell is your problem with Edge kids being Edge? just cause we don't want to die in ways that you do? just cause we care more about our minds and bodies? i don't know the reasons, but like i said, i don't care if you're not Edge, some of the coolest people i know aren't Edge and they smoke, drink, do drugs, all that. as much as i wish they wouldn't they do, but i'm not going to tell them they can't, cause it's their life and i have too much respect for them in other aspects of their personalities to be telling them how to live. so why is it that people have to rag on us all the time for being Edge? well i say fuck you, we don't wanna drink, do drugs, smoke, or fuck everyone we see, so that makes us bad people? again, fuck you.
oh but there are others that piss me off even more..like the person who claimed Edge and suddenly isn't? IT'S NOT A LABEL PEOPLE, IT'S A FUCKING LIFESTYLE, DO NOT EXPLOIT IT LIKE IT'S A FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL LABEL! you claim Edge, you're Edge, if you stop being Edge, than you never really were, Straight Edge til you're legal, right? no, fuck you, have some pride, some principals, don't become Edge just cause it's the coolest thing you can do before you're legal to smoke or drink, don't become Edge because it'll please mommy and daddy, become Edge because YOU WANT TO BE EDGE, and for fuck's sake, be serious about it, will ya? don't treat it like you can just strip it off anytime you want and say "okay, i'm not Edge today, tomorrow i will be" no fuck you, i can go on and on and on about this, so i won't.
now, there's two ways of doing so, claiming Edge, saying it's just a label, but still abiding by the lifestyle. now, okay, that's alright, cause you're not getting into alcohol and drugs, which is always cool in my book. problem is that it's NOT a label, it's a lifestyle, that's like saying you're not homosexual but you're attracted to the same sex. it just doesn't work that way, people! now i don't want to be judgemental here but to me it sounds like you're trying to escape being Edge so you may one day get drunk or high or whatever, when you're legal. sorry if i offended anyone, but hey, that's just how i think, and i'm done holding back. if you think you may one day drink, smoke, and/or do drugs, DON'T CLAIM EDGE, you may walk around and say that you follow the lifestyle, but please don't claim it? k? i tend to lose respect for people like this. the second way of being a fake Edger is to say you're Edge, and then suddenly you're passed out at a friends house getting ass raped unwillingly by some Frat boy. why are you passed out? too much to drink? yeah you were never Straight Edge.
oh and guess what people RUMOURS AREN'T ALWAYS TRUE! I NEVER SMOKED POT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I DON'T PLAN TO SMOKE POT EVER! yes, i drank, yes i tried ciggarettes, BEFORE I WAS STRAIGHT EDGE! why did i do those things? to fit in, cause i thought i would be cool by doing these things, acting like i don't give a shit about myself, blah blah i'm a dumb 9th grader. yes, i admit that. can anyone else under 40 admit that's why they tried ciggarettes and alcohol? i sure hope so. NEVER ONCE did i try pot, i had the chance to, plenty of times, but i did not try it, because i thought, HEY what the fuck is this? this isn't me, i'm not this guy, i'm the other guy, the lame-oid who is sober!
oh god..sorry i'm so angry today..it happens..
come to think of it..i never actually got this shit off my chest..ha.

Patent Pending @ The Sherman Theater.
so, like i mentioned in my last blog, maybe the one before, i don't remember, we played a show with Patent Pending on saturday, and let me just say, it was the BEST DAMN SHOW WE EVER PLAYED so far..
people were into us from the start of the show..i was very surprised and very happy at the same time..plus Joe Pending was watching us..which was fucking awesome..
only problems i had were that the venue cut our set 15 minutes for whatever reason and i could barely hear my bass..but whatever..people liked us..i stayed til the end to watch Patent Pending and hand out some cds, i gave an EP and a demo to Joe and the rest of the EPs and Demos i handed out to fans and such. so now i have to make more EPs, which is fine. Basement Sounds Vol. 1 is no longer available physically though so if anyone wants to hear it they have to go to www.suburbanlosers.bandcamp.com where it's up for free download along with our very first demo.
work should begin on Basement Sounds Vol. 2 in the coming weeks, but we still have to do tracking for our friend Chad Hill for a project he's doing, so we'll see how these next few weeks come along.
this is a short blog, i know, i just wanted to review the show and give some updates, i may repost this on our myspace too..or something like it..who knows.
anyways, i'm gonna go get to work on those EPs.
Stay True.

Fuck Headaches.
god, i hate that people you may know feature on myspace, cause the same people come up all the time, and it annoys me. i kind of want to friend request all of them so they stop popping up, but then i'd be friends with a bunch of people i don't care about or abunch of people that didn't talk to me in high school. oh how fun. no, i'm not requesting them.
i'm also kind of sick of twitter updates on my phone, but i think if i cancel them, i'll miss them, but then again my phone won't vibrate every 20 minutes and i won't wake up to 19 new text messages all from twitter. it seems i never get texts from people i love anymore, it's always twitter. or maybe i just never got texts from people i love very often before twitter and i am just now realizing this..poo..oh well, i need to cancel some of my updates, not all of em though.
so i didn't eat all day, had a terrible migraine, which if i don't eat right away when i'm hungry, i get a terrible migraine that likes to last all day until i either sleep or take pills. well i took pills before i went to see my neice, then i ate Burger King, yes it was good, shut up, but then i still had a headache, so then i went to sleep at about 5 something, woke up at 9:30 and i STILL HAVE A HEADACHE AS i TYPE even after i ate a bagel, drank Kool Aid, and ate a giant Hershey bar (Hershey is probably the only perk about living in PA, i mean, it's distributed world wide but atleast i can be proud to say i'm from the Hershey State, plus we have Hershey park, take that better states! HA!). i also took more pills, advil (taking headache pills does not break Edge, shut the fuck up you assholes who don't understand Straight Edge and like to pick at us for medication and caffine), so my headache has kind of subsided, but it's still kind of annoying me.
anyways! tomorrow my band Suburban Losers plays with Patent Pending, it's so fucking awesome. i personally love Patent Pending, i'm definitely going to try to talk to Joe and give him a cd, hopefully. Also, it's awesome to play more electric shows, we do more acoustic shows because well, that's all we can get, and since we barely play any shows ever, we signed on with Hot Topic to do a monthly acoustic show just so we can get our name out and give out our cds, since we barely get electric shows to do so at. Don't get me wrong, we love the acoustic shows, they're always fun, but Jason (our drummer) doesn't get to do anything there and plus me and Cody love playing electric shows more. they have more energy and people can hear what we really sound like, cause we haven't done an acoustic record yet, we want to but not just yet, since we only have 1 EP out and just started a series of demos that display our new songs. before we do anything else, we'd like a fan base, and an indie label, but we know that takes hard fucking work to get there. some bands just don't get the work ethic that needs to go into music, if you want to get even a lukewarm response from people, you need to work your ass off, DIY shit because you know you don't have a label, book your own shows, talk to other bands so you can get shows with them, and along the way make some awesome friends in bands and help eachother out. so much work beyond myspace and just "hey, check out my band" goes into this shit, and i fucking LOVE every goddamn tiring minute of it, i wouldn't want to be doing anything else with my life, so you bet your ass i'm going to be working as hard as i can to get to where i wanna be. we aren't no panic at the disco who just send their demo to Pete Wentz and suddenly have a label, hit record, and huge fan base, no! those assholes didn't work at all beyond songwriting, which is the fun part! fuck them. we have to work work work work and then more work, THAT'S how you make it with honor.
well that'd be enough out of my mind for today, til text time..

Hungry...So..Hungry...
i woke up about maybe an hour ago, surprisingly i did not sleep through my alarm..you should be proud. anyways, i had that annoying hunger pain in my tummy, and i wanted cereal real bad, so i went down stairs to get some and it turns out we have no milk..so now i sit here, hungry, writing this pointless blog about being hungry, and debating on whether i should shower and shave now or do it later after practice..
for whatever reason we live in England now, it rains every fucking day here, i'm not sure why. someone told me it's from the heat wave..i wish there was a drought. did you ever notice drought weather, while hot, is the best kind of summer weather? it's not humid, it's dry out, not sticky, it's great. though i believe the best kind of weather is Fall or Spring, which is why i may never move to California..i'd miss those seasons..ofcourse then it becomes stupid fucking winter and i hate it and want to kill myself..so cold, i hate snow, can't go anywhere when it's snowing cause i'll die. well i'd rather die than be cold anyways..oh well. fuck winter. but i don't have to worry about winter just yet, i'm looking forward to Fall.
today i will eat, get dressed in proper outside clothes, and then head to practice. we gotta rehearse for the Patent Pending show this saturday, yeah i know i said PATENT PENDING, it's fucking amazing, and we can't wait.
anywho..that should be all for today..if i think of anymore boring shit i'll type it...
Stay True.

Introduction.
i made a blog..yeah..i'm not sure why..i'm never that interesting..i guess cause i figure somebody wants to read my weird thoughts about everything that i come accross..you just wait, they get pretty weird.
so here i am at 2:24 in the morning..made some pop corn..not sure why because i really need to start losing weight and yet i keep eating and eating and eating..oh well..as long as i don't become as fat as that mexican dude who got married and almost died from being wheeled out of his house on a flatbed truck..yeah i know right?!
so you might wonder why i call myself a Loser more often than not..and why i adopted it as my last name..well here goes..first off, i'm in a punk band called Suburban Losers, check us out at www.myspace.com/suburbanlosers you might like us, might not, but anyways, i adopted Richard Loser as my stage name, and now i can't stop using it because it makes be feel so good inside to know that i'm taking pride in an insult people have used on me for years..it makes me feel like i've won, i guess. just like how now i take pride in being fat, i was called every fat name in the book when i was in elementary school through middle school, and by high school i was like "yeah i'm fat, that's nothing new..why are you telling me this?" oh well..that's enough of that blabber..(remember Flabber from the Beetle Borgs? hell yeah!).
i don't feel like using caps..usually i'm more gramattically correct but i'll only use caps on important stuff..like Flabber..
well i'm going to go be more of a fatass, eat my popcorn, and then try to sleep, i've got practice tomorrow.
Stay True.
