    It's been a while

    I didn't actually bother checking when I posted last before I began this one so it has been a while.

    Why you ask?

    Well because I've been out fucking up my life of course. In a matter of one college semester I've managed to throw YEARS of clean living and studiousness away.

    That's right thanks to Kutztown University I began drinking, smoking, and developed a very large case of insomnia that resulted in me watching the movie Roll and Bounce for god knows what reason one too many times.

    How did I get there though you're probably wondering so lets start from the beginning. I moved into my dorm in late August full of optimism and hope only to have it crushed a week into classes when the water pipe in my room broke flooding half of my room (we built a barricade out of towels) and our suites living area. Thankfully we never actually used the suite for anything past practical jokes to anyone walking by it so that was fine but notably the half of the room that got soaked was mine.

    This was around the timethat I started smoking. The drinking actually occurred the first night I was on campus. I reluctantly agreed to go with my suitemate X to a party where in turn I meet Roberto Faust (The whitest kid with a mexican name I've ever known) who released the inner party boy in me. This would lead to me being out every weekend getting plastered out of my mind and making a very large amount of very bad decisions. I was responsible during the week of course in fact I never missed any classes with the exception of two and that was only because it was an 8 o`clock. I was sick that week and the nyquill I was taking was doing it's job and not letting me wake up until 11 no matter how much my alarm blared. Regardless I had a doctor's note so it didn't matter and that was the only class I missed.

    Missing class wasn't the problem for me though. Actually paying attention and doing the work well that was. It wasn't as if I did badly last semester. I maintained my gpa and actually upped it from the 3.1 I had at community college to a 3.6. The work itself wasn't that much of a problem as I could barely do any and still do well as I did in high school. My problem was that I was bored.

    I, for whatever idiotic reason, was under the firm belief that when I got to college somehow what I was so bored with in high school would actually become interesting. WRONG! The classes for my major were in turn no help what so ever all they did was bore me further. With this in mind combined with the fact that I was selling my soul to pay to go to this shitty school I have dropped out.

    Now let me just break down what Kutztown University is like for you folks who happen to stumble across this post before I explain how I was selling my soul. See what they fail to tell you on the tour or in an information packet is that the school is in a large downward spiral. If the vote of no confidence to our dean from the board of directors and us going to a class d school isn't enough to tip you off here are some other factors that might give you the general picture.

    • Random power outages for a month because of the new dorm building and ice cream shop they built
    • Smoking ban implimented randomly without warning for no apparent reason.
    • Laundry list of dorm room matinence problems including my pipe (I wasn't the only one)
    • Internet access restricted at certain points went three days without internet at one point.
    • Large amount of random violent acts one of which resulted in a student's death last year. This year included two hit and runs and a very large and rash outbreak of shitty thefts. (I forgot to mention I had my laptop stolen)

    That all being said I dropped out. See going into the ROTC program was in fact that only option I had to pay for college. I will admit I did enjoy my time spent in the program along with the class and over all I had fun with that whole experience but to enlist at the end of the day I decided I wasn't up for that. It most likely makes me a pussy and hey I'm okay with that at least I admitted it before I got in too deep. Regardless though I'm out now and working and you'll probably be hearing a lot more from me because of it.

    That is all

    You know what's retarded?

    The fact that I own all of anthony green's earlier tracks and have live versions of songs like she loves me so laying around and I'm still going to buy avalon.

    Also the fact that he turned his personal myspace page moshtradomus into his myspace music page....

    That part makes me cry a little bit on the inside

    Simply because I've had him added for the longest time

    and we'd always talk whenever he'd post his random bullentions about shows or whatever

    but I never got to meet him in real life and blew my chance this past october at the circa show when I got kicked out.

    So now I'll be lost in the stucko sprawl of teenagers that frequent his myspace and if I'm lucky he'll remember me.

    I say if I'm lucky because of the drugs

    Just sayin

    Warped in conclusion though

    Ownage

    3OH!3 did not disappoint live as they had the same atmosphere as a family force five just like I expected.

    Dance pits=best time ever

    Although the best sets of the day were Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals

    Despite relativly small crowds everyone sang along or danced which in my opinion is a lot better then what people considered the best set of the day........

    A.k.a Bring Me the Horizon

    Know now I'm not a bring me the Horizon fan what so ever if not simply for the fact that oliver skyes vocals are shit and quite frankly he pissed on a girl.

    Seriously who does that?

    But just because it's the last set of the day and everyone is at the set because of it so the crowd is huge

    Doesn't make it a good set

    Just because there was a huge pit because everyone was there

    doesn't mean it was a good set.

    The fact that no one knew the words, the breakdowns, and half of the crowd primarily focused on taking pictures or videos(I can deal with this shit at All Time Low and Say Anything BUT FUCKING REALLY PEOPLE)

    Made this a decent set if that

    I watched the last 10 minutes and was not impressed

    Whose happy they went to see Story of The Year

    That'd be me

    Especially since the crowd erupted when they said we're going to play an old one and we all instantly knew it was till the day I die

    How terrible is that, that I'm still such a sucker for that song?

    I can honestly say though that after Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals my favorite part of the day was easily the thunderstorm.

    Simply because hanging in the passion brand tent and with the guys at the truth.com van was funny as hell

    I've missed dave since bamboozle he did not disappoint.

    Overall a good experince though

    School soon and junk

    That is all

    Because this year Warped brings the br00tal

    I'm actually kind of pumped for the pits this year.

    If not borderline I accept it to be just pure out right chaos

    And while it's getting a lot of flack because it isn't one of the best line ups in years

    Times are a changing

    Bands like Bad Religion, Alkaline Trio, The Casualities, The Bouncing Souls, and Dropkick Murphies cannot afford to be on warped and are concentrating on there own individual tours.

    Not too many bands play warped for more then three years straight and actually the rule of thumb now seems to be play 2 and then drop off.

    So expect what is somewhat popular now to be headlining more.

    Just because it isn't what you consider punk doesn't mean it isn't

    Because punk sounds nothing now like it did in the seventies

    Oh well yay for Norma Jean, TDWP, Protest The Hero, Everytime I Die, and Skyeatsairplane.

    At this point though as long as they have good sweeps and a decent drummer I'm down for anything else

    Oh well my TSLOHF shirt is in and goddamn do I love this thing

    That is all
