3:12 pm	6 of Spades Brown outs suck like crazy.I didn't get power last night til around nine when Joe,Static,Joel,Mike,Mike's gf,and her friend came over.We sat here and did basically nothing until we went to the diner.I had some disco fries but they only had american cheese and they didn't taste too good.After that I went out with some really cool people and hung out in parking lots.I witnessed a guy getting thrown out of the drunk of a car in the back of the fish market by Wendy's.The guy was drunk off his ass and was rolling in his own puke.Not to mention he also had his pants off and a penis drawn on his cheek.I hope that guy learned his lesson haha.My lung hurts today and I don't know why but I really wish it didn't.Tonight I think I'm heading up to Bloomfield Ave Cafe for Tokyo Rose and others.

1:14 am	5 of Diamonds YES!I actually have something really good to write.Tonight was the NEA show in Pequannock.They played really good and even though i didn't stay for long it was still good.After that me and Steve dropped off all the equipment at his house.From there we went to the parking lot of Park diner and met up with Joel, Brown, and Lindsay.Then we all went to Tick Tock Diner and met up with Joe, Martha, and Static.This is where the night got interesting.We were all hoping to have a nice time and just eat our food and leave.But then we see Derek walk in.As most of you know,C-Ford and Derek no longer like eachother and have been at eachothers throats the past 2 weeks.Joe is repeatedly calling Dereks name throughout Tick Tock but Derek isn't answering.Finally Joe decides to call Dereks cell phone.Derek picks up his phone and Joe says "Hey baby" and blows derek a kiss.It was so fuckin funny wow.Joe was telling Derek to talk shit to him now instead of online so Derek walks over to Joe and they are making fun of eachother back and forth.As Derek is walking away he grabs Joe's hat and Joe just gets up and grabs Derek,turns him around, and swings like crazy.I'd say he hit him like 5 or 6 times in the face and Derek didn't even swing back.The owner of manager guy comes running over and breaks them up and just starts pushing Derek full force into a table hahaha.Joe and Derek were kicked out and we all finished our food like normal human beings.After that we all went to the AC Moore parking lot cause thats where Joe was since he got kicked out haha.Some more people were there like Dave,Bobby,Mellisa, and more.The night ended with Bobby pinching my nipple which led me to fall over a shopping cart on the ground.It was a nice fall.Thank you Bobby for that very memorable moment=).

2:03 am	4 of Clubs "Play Crack The Sky" We sent out the S.O.S. call. It was a quarter past four, in the morning When the storm broke our second anchor line. Four months at sea. Four months of calm seas only To be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point. They call them rogues. They travel fast and alone. One hundred foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong. What they call love is a risk, Cause you will always get hit Out of nowhere by some wave And end up on your own. The hole in the hull defied the crew’s attempts, To bail us out. And flooded the engines and radio, And half buried bow. Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words past your lips Or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea Or dashed to bits on the reef. The vessel groans The ocean pressures its frame. To the port I see the lighthouse Through the sleet and the rain. And I wish for one more day to give my Love and repay debts. But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west. They say that the captain stays fast with the ship, Through still and storm, But this ain't the Dakota, And the water is cold, We won't have to fight for long. (This is the end) This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear, Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath, I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea, I spoke the words but never gave a thought of what they all could mean, I know that this is what you want, A funeral keeps both of us apart. You know that you are not alone, I need you like water in my lungs, This is the end…

12:49 am	4 of Spades Hey I havent updated in a few days.The other day I went to Joe Static's house for his birthday.It was awesome.There was good food, good people, and as usual lots of laughs.There was also a little acoustic performance by NEA.Since I have nothing to write about I'll update you on how NEA is doing.Tonight they played live for Genco Records and from what I hear the guy really liked them.Also they are going to be on two new compilation CD's coming out in the near future.One of which will be a Drive-Thru Records compilation with unsigned bands including Riding Bikes.Thanks to my good friend Mark I just found out that it is official that Taking Back Sunday has lost two great members.Those two members being John the lead guitarist and back up vocalist.Also the bassist.They have replaced these two members but according to Mark ,who knows what he's talking about when it comes to music,said they still rocked out and put on an amazing show.John will be greatly missed.To me and probably many others,he is what made the band.Hopefully they will prove me wrong when i see them at Warped Tour.

7:30 pm	3 of Spades Yes it has been confirmed.It's now official.I have a hole in my lung once again.Yes it is painful and no I cannot take deep breaths.I went to the hospital today and got the x-ray.The doctor said that it looks identical to the picture of the hole in my lung last year.That is pretty weird.There is nothing I or anyone can do about this "Pneumothorax" but wait and see what happens.Time will tell whether I get better or not.Hopefully the hole doesn't get bigger like last time.But enough about my lung, because soon I will be off to the mall with Joel and Static.I think we are meeting Dom and Joe there too.Maybe even Derek and Chris by the looks of Derek's away message.It looks like a good night.I will update again when I return home.

12:02 pm	3 of Diamonds If Brand New really does break up,then my life will be over.They are one of the most amazing bands out there.Maybe I'll get there screen names and tell them not to break up.Or maybe I'll send them naked pictures of myself and maybe they`ll get the hint that they shouldn't break up.I really hope they don't break up.Music is the only thing I have in my life.So to see a great band break up is like a really good reason to miss school for a few weeks.If I find out that the rumors are true then no one is to talk to me for at least a year until I get over the tragedy.That is if i have not ended my life by then.

12:04 am	3 of Hearts Today was a pretty cool day.I went to Matt's house and swam with Andy, Justin, Paul, and Steven Vargo.It was cool cause I haven't seen any of them in a while.But I had to leave early to go to Powerzone to play volleyball.I played through the pain of my lung again but this time when I got home I told my mom about it.Hopefully tommorow I'm going to go to the hospital to get another x-ray.When I got home tonight I went online and got some IM's from an old friend.I know when I'm not wanted.I have new friends too.I don't just sit home.Sorry I didn't entertain you enough whenever we hung out.Whatever I don't care. Madison -------------- Right Outside -------------- I can paint a thousand pictures with the colors of your eyes Emotions running wild, if not to my surprise But whoa, your tears are forming puddles that are deep enough to drown Just scream and hope for the best (Sit down on the ground and we're going to watch the fire burn) Praying that tommorow provides answers to this test Just scream and hope for the best (Take it from me, leave me sorry) Borrowing my mindset will not leave you laid to rest I'm staring at old photographs in a wallet I once wore Never knowing phantoms haunt my dreams Don't try to feel the way I feel today The pressure's killing me, I'm close to near insanity Don't try to feel the way I feel Too hard to take in, hard to follow And difficult to bear the pain that follows (Take it from me, leave me sorry) It's all a lie, I hope you die Right outside.

11:57 pm	2 of Clubs Saturday I went to the NEA and Silverstein show with Dan, Matt, and Narin.It was awesome I was very impressed with both bands performances.I went into the pit for only 2 of Silverstein's songs and I thought I was going to die.The heat in that place was unreal.I thought I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital for the hole in my lung cause it was really bothering me(and still is)but I don't want to go to the hospital again.I didn't get much sleep due to the fact I was unable to breathe without extreme amounts of pain but I'm just hoping it goes away soon.Today I went to the mall with Joe to meet Ashley from Wayne.We saw Martha there and that was nice because I haven't seen her in a while.We met up with Ashely at her job and then went to Janelle's house from there.After waiting for about an hour in front of Janelle's house for her to come home we all went inside and watched T.V. for a little while.Janelle's mother cooked us some nice Spanish food for dinner and it was really good.After dinner we watched the movie Ghost Ship.It was pretty cool,I liked it.Janelle is an awesome girl.Hopefully we`ll hangout more often.I would like to write more but I'm tired so cya.

1:12 am	2 of Spades OK so tonight was the Steel Train show.I was worried they weren't going to remember me from the show on Monday. But I was wrong. When I got there, they were unloading and they all came and greeted me.It was awesome.I started to help them bring there equipment in which already made my day worth while.Then I find out that Madison just got added on to the show last minute which made it even better.Every band was awesome.Kick Over The Traces, Denver In Dallas, Madison, The Rocket Summer, and of course Steel Train put on another superb performance.I talked a little to most of the band over the course of the show and they were nothing but nice.After the show I was waiting outside to see if Jack would play the acoustic set that he promised me last week.But they had already packed up everything;(.As I went to say my goodbye to Jack I said something along the lines of, "Maybe next time I'll get that acoustic set." Obviously my puppy dog eyes made him break down and he made them open up the van and he took me in between the van and the loading truck.Me,Matt, Mark, Jack, and his acoustic guitar.I then requested Story In A Dream because they no longer play it live.He was a little hesitant but he started to play it for me anyway.Next was Alleycat and then a new song.After that he played a really old song that I think he said was on their first demo.It was good.Then he proceeded by playing cover songs such as a cover of Me and Julio Down By the School Yard.It was the most amazing experience in my life.Nothing will ever come close to this night.I was literally inches away from one of my idols and he was playing songs for me.I've never been so happy in my life.I was almost in tears.That's how amazing it was.I love Steel Train!
