Good god today was terrible.

I went to the gym for the first time in a week or two, it was really nice weather out. While using the leg press weight machine, I started to feel a little shaky, and was seeing light flashes. I've felt this before, so I stayed calm and just tried to breathe deeply and slowly. Next thing I knew, I was on the floor and a girl working out on the next machine next to me was like "uhhh... you ok?"

Apparantly, I had tried to get up way too soon and just passed out. I do remember feeling really relaxed, like I was in the middle of a really deep sleep in my bed. Turns out I took a full on face plant to the floor and just remained there unconscious, face down on the floor for a min or two, until I came to.

I then decided to try and walk to the locker room, which was an awful idea. I started feeling reallt light headed again and felt my legs giving out. It really sucked.

An ambulance was called, I had to go to the hospital for about 6 hours for tests and a sweet nap : ) At one point, the nurse taking my CAT scan asked if I was "trying to get nicer calves like Johnny Drama from Entourage" That's always nice to hear, being compared to a dude like that, after having the worst day ever, haha.

The scariest part of the whole experience was realizing I had no one to be there for me, even so much as for a ride home. I haven't felt this lonely in my life. Not the best feeling by any means. Soooo, I eventually was able to leave and rode my bike home against doctors orders. FTW

No matter how bad things get, they can always be worse...

At least when someone asks me what band I'm in, the answer isn't Cute Is What We Aim For.

Ok, so two really hilarious things happened at practice today. First of, Tony had a big family function going on. But instead of cancelling/rescheduling practice, the Capponi's didn't mind us making offensive noise and obnoxious feedback for 2 and a half hours. While playing, 2 of Tony's 10 yr old cousins came to watch us, and asked if we were "Jammin' to the max" !!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, a priest from a church near Tony's house came over to complain about the abrasive noise eminating from the garage. Apparantly our set run-through was disturbing a funeral. To our complete amazement, Tony's grandmother (of all people) told the priest "I don't give a shit, they can play all they want." And threatened to call the police to complain about their church !!!!!!!!!!!!

All in all a nice practice.

Slept too much again today. Didn't do anything I had planned. Feel like a mess. Have practice tomorrow, maybe that will make me feel better. I'm gonna take a nap now.

Why the fuck not post? A lot of shit has happened since I last live-journaled. Sheerin played with us again for the first time since like April, it was a weird feeling. He pulled his pants down and started talking with his ass cheeks. That was really out of character of him but absolutely hilarious none the less.

I'm working way too much, but am still thinking about getting a second job. A car/apartment/no more debt is way more important than free time right now. It also seems like I either never sleep, or sleep far too much. That sucks.

My abs look fabulous, just saying. All this biking is starting to show.

Finally came up with a solid tattoo idea to build onto my arm/angel piece. Just need to save some cash.

I'm really confused about a girl, she seems amazing, and we seemed to have a lot to talk about at first. But I've been getting a bit of the cold shoulder lately. Maybe I'm just overreacting. Oh well, I've got better things to worry about than that.

Henry Rollins is still the fucking man.

I wish I was as charming as Christian Troy, just without being a scumbag.

It's my poodle's birthday.

I am a goddamn guitar hero.

My knuckles really hurt.

Slipknot is still awesome after like 9 years.

I need an apartment, be my roomate.

Happy New Year.

Spent an awesome, unusually warm December afternoon with Kristal. Went christmas shopping on South St. It seems a little wrong that I bought some of her gifts in front of her and told her about others. Oh well whatever makes her smile. But hey, the keyword is SOME. Maybe I'll unleash some sick surprises from up my sleeve for her like a fuckin magician come the 25th. XXX-mas with the Stanfas is gonna rule. We also went to Petsmart and found myself hypnotized by the feeding mice. I couldn't help laughing hysterically at them doing multiple 360 degree spins on their wheel.

Raw is pretty good tonight, I'm such a wrestling dork. But at least I have another wrestling dork to keep me company on monday, tuesday, thursday and occasionally sunday nights <3

Coming soon: Passion online merch store for all your metal/hardcore/buffalochickenpizza needs.

Friday and Saturday's shows went great. Some kids took away from our sets. The dudes in Time Of Cholera are fucking sweet. Ate at... wait experienced Sonic for the first time. If I had to rate the place in piledrivers, I'd give it 4.5/5 piledrivers for the drink selection alone. Micah from TOC attempted to eat a banana that had to be 6 months early, it looked like a toy banana. Saturday we played a house show/going away party for a kid going to jail for trespassing. Weird. I remember someone tripping over the extention cord providing power to all our amps. Half of "Longer" (approx. 37 seconds) was drums and vocals. Kenny went on to yell "never stop, you never stop...ever" towards the crowd. Tony thought Kenny was yelling at him. So he felt upset for a few minutes. Sunday was like every other philly show we play. Ward kicked a rock which almost dented a parked Nissan. I tried accomplish a dare by drinking 4 bottles of water during our set, unfortunately I only was able to kill off 2 and got down a sip or two of the third within the 4 songs we played.

BFD.

The world will forever never not be changed.
