Holy crap what a weekend....Let's start at the begging. Friday night i had a Bonfire...nothing really out of the ordinary. All the guys hanging out around the fire playing the newest game wachler introduced us to which is called "Hot Coal" I bet you can guess what this game is....yea that's right you pick up a hot coal out of the fire and start tossing it around a circle kind of like hackeysack. So friday was just normal fun....Saturday however was Franks 22nd birthday and a party that i had to attend. Frank tells me the party is at Sables house at about 8....so i don't leave untill about 9 with ms Robin and we end up getting there sometime around 9:10ish to an empty sable house except for Frank and Pete sitting out on the back patio. Apparently Chris went down to ann arbor to visit kim and was still not back yet. So we had a party out on the back Patio with a bunch of scenster kids i didn't know. Untill Reena showed up then life got good again....i love reena. At about 11 or so Robin and i decided to come back to my house as she had some other business to attend to...and i just wanted to go home. Now comes Sunday the real fun day. During the day James and I hung out and played Halo, nothing really special but still always a good time. We went and got food at kroger for the barbeque later around 2:30 and then wachler showed up and we all had a grand time hanging out. At about 6 or 7 oclock we were all outside, hitting rotten apples from my apple tree with a baseball bat...once again enjoying the hell out of ourselves when my dad yelled at us to stop. So james started hitting the little basketball for the pool with the bat....and Dan started trying to catch it in the wheel-barrel. So eventually we worked out a game...the name of which escapes me becuase it's very long(something like wheelbarrel bucket bat ball BOOM)The game is played like this, the pitcher throws the basketball to the batter, who tries to pop it up in the air so that the outfielders with wheelbarrels and buckets can try and come up with the most creative catch they can, they are then scored accordingly to their catches. Let's see the bonfire/barbeque started at about 8 oclock when Brinker and Boozer showed up. It ended up being Brinker Boozer, James, Dan, D^3, Phil, Tony, Devon, Marley, Jim, Jeremy, Nakalsky, Brittany, Scott Nelson, Kevin Neubauer, Robin....and probably more people i can't name right now. It was a damn good fuckin time. We cooked hot dogs hamburgers and made jokes all evening. Fantastic
We watched National Treasure yesterday
We listened to the new System of a Down CD at the bonfire
Today scares me for many reasons |

I don't have that much to talk about right now, but by monday im sure i'll be full of excellent stories and funny tales from the weekend. Tonight is Franks 22nd birthday party, which im sure will be a good time. Im leaving here in about an hour and a half to go to Sable's house and then we'll see where the night takes me. Tommorow im throwing a big barbeque/bonfire at around 9/10ish everybody is invited as usual. There will be lots of food and probably a few very intoxicted people. Hopefully there will be a huge turn out so something exciting will happen but we'll see. Then labor day and then back to school and work BLAH
I did get a sweet new job though, i work at a music tutoring school in macomb. I teach little kids how to play guitar/bass and drums. It's really quite alot of fun. Good pay for absolutly the least amount of work i think i could do, and we're building a recording studio. I am getting paid to do things i sit in my basement and do for free on a daily basis and it's fuckin sweet.
My viral infection is probably still there, but at least the symptoms are gone...i can actually sing again. So today i finished recording the power ballad(sweet name huh) and tommorow phil and i are going to lay down "One Against the Masses"
easiest song ever so it should be quick to record...well that about does it
Things aren't the same now...actually i find myself dwelling on that thought quite often now
Obviously i knew things were going to be different
it's just shocking how alone i actually am |

Well today i went and got my haircut, while im at the hair cutting place, i look outside. There is a man, with one of those wheels attached to a handle that measures distance by the amount of turns the wheel makes. He was pushing it down the parking lot, doing his job i assume, but instead of looking at where he's going...the dumbass is staring down into his walkie talkie. He rams the wheel right into some cars wheel, and guess what? the handle jabbed him right in the nards...i've never laughed so hard in the presence of complete strangers before...haha quite the funny time. After that i went to go get my ear pierced at royal oak tattoo...that was exciting. |

Well let's see...generally speaking my life has turned into quite the sad state of affairs. Angela is like my other half...somebody i can always talk to and is always there for me, so it is really terrible that she's been gone all summer becuase now i have to deal with all the drug abusing hoodlums that frequent my house alone. I usually spend my nights inside by myself while 8 or 9 of my friends sit outside with my brother and smoke pot. It's really not good. At least when angela is home i have somebody i can talk to...somebody im excited to talk to, and makes me happy by just being there. Of course im afraid that when she comes back from caseville again tommorow that everythings going to be ruined and we won't end up getting back together. Nobody i talk to understands the sitution so please don't try and judge what's going on, becuase you'll just end up getting the wrong impression and telling me to leave angela. That's just something i can't do. Even if she says she doesn't want to see me, or talk to me or anything i know in her heart she does...she just get's confused sometimes because we rarley see each other. Which is my fault for not going as far as i should to be with the one i love. We've been broken up/on a break for about 2 weeks now...and it seriously feels like a year has gone by. My days are slow and lonely without her here...i've given alot of people advice about chasing after their loved one when they were let go...and i always told them to just let it go and move on becuase that's the smart thing to do...well i finally realize now that there is a huge difference between the logical smart answer, and the right answer, becuase i can't let angela go no matter what happens, becuase i love her... |

hello livejournal, it's been a while you piece of shit. I am not going to begin to describe the past few months of my life in this box, becuase it is just not worth it. What's going on right now you ask? or maybe you don't but you're reading this anyway so friggin deal with it. Right now my band is recording a demo soon to be released. I am recording the thoughourly emo austin white john lurie etc etc emo band. WHich is always fun because i make money doing something that i do for free to myself constantly...which makes me sound like a hooker relating their job to masturbating...anyway. Life has been hectic. Angela and i are...whatever it is that we are but it's not bad really. That poor girl goes through more drama and household bullshit...she has to deal with her parents(which are about as easy to deal with as a rabid saber tooth TIGER hopped up on meth-amphetamiens and crack cocaine) and all their crap about school and a job and extracurriculars and just everything...so ugh i can't blame the girl for needing some time to sort everything out. but anyway...i got fired from ZOUP and im getting a job at circuit city. As opposed to getting paid 8.50 to deal with old people and asians all day i will not get paid 10 dollars an hour to stand at a door checking people's reciepts. BOOYA MOTHA FUCKA. Let's see....i think that's about the short and skinny of my life at the moment. Goodbye everyone till next we meet
and angela i am here for you...always and i love you with all of my heart and will do anything for you hon...i hope you always remember that |

since im almost positive nobody reads this anymore since i never update any more i think it's safe for me to post =)
So i've been dating the same girl for almost a year now...we're going on 11 months and i think that's crazy...i've never dated anybody for near this long before and it's pretty awesome. I really couldn't be happier with my girlfriend if i had worked this whole situation out in my head. We have problems like everybody else does...but that's part of life. You can't just give up everytime something goes a little haywire and i think we've done a damn good job of staying together and staying happy for this long. It's really like i just met her still becuase i still learn new things about her everyday and everyday im excited to talkto her and i can't see her enough. Her parents make it really hard on us becuase they tend to be kind of crazy but i'd go through hell and high water for that girl so it doesn't really matter
i love you angela |

So i have decided upon very serious condsideration and study that people in general, when interacting with other people, do not care or pay attention to what is going on. I was walking out of Target the other day and while leaving a man was basically in my way so i said hi and nodded my head to aknowledge his existance to which he replied "fine thanks". While this is obviously not a horrible thing to say to me, or that it is even in the least bit offensive, it made me realize one thing, not matter how inane or miniscule the dealings most people have with other people, they just don't seem to care. It's ridiculous that i said hi to that man and for whatever reason he replied "fine thanks" as if i had asked him a question. I can easily imagine he was either trying to cope with the fact a random individual spoke to him and in a panic he spattered out whatever sounded reasonable, or that he was indeed, just not paying attention to me at all, and merley heard what he wanted to hear. I find this at work dealing with people all the time. Since i work in a resturant i always ask people how they are doing today and they often reply "i don't know what i want yet" which is not the fucking answer to the question i asked you douchebag.
anyway i went bowling with angela and her sister and her sisters....concubine last night it was pretty sweet as it always is. I have found that there are alot of people in angela's school that annoy the living hell out of me.I I'm sure you all remember that fat, ugly, annoying emo/goth chick at your high school who craved attention like she probably craved cake. Thank god my girlfriend is quiet, well mannered, and well spoken or i would do some serious remodeling of her brain =D <3 you angela |

Well ladies and gentlemen, As of today Angela and i have been dating for 8 solid months. I am very happy about that. While everything else is kind of falling apart im glad i at least have one thing that's solid and somebody that i know is there for me. This is definatly the longest relationship i've ever been in, but i don't think using the word long is really a good choice. Language is an interesting thing like that. Though the word long satisfies my purposes i really don't feel it portrays my emotion completly. I think it's funny how the majority of people go through their lives with such a limited vocabulary. Never really expanding themselves beyond a sub-high school speaking level. A higher vocabulary offers anyone with it a chance to out-wit, out-think others, and to much better portray what it is that they are trying to say. For example, when someone is describing their computer and they say "That computer is running really slow...but it's old so i understand" Old is really not the right word, old denotes aging, alot of aging depending on the relativity of the object you're speaking of. A better choice would be the word Antiquated, which more accuratly nails the point. The problem is not that the computer has aged, the problem is that other machines are faster than it, thus making it outdated.
Now that my rant is over for the evening i think i will start writing my book. |

Well i've been off being busy with school work angela and what remains of my band. So i don't really know what to update since life is full of the same old boring shit day after day after day. Angela and i have been dating for more than 6 months now which is pretty cool, cuz it's my longest relationship i've ever been in. I also completly rebuilt my studio. I'll save everybody the gripe of having to read a lengthy explination of complex and unnecisary musical terms and equipment.
On another note...who watched the State of the Union Adress? and more specifically who is upset about the fact that Bush is going to try and ratify a constitutional amendment that will prohibit same sex marriages...? The constitution clearly states that no-one shall be denied the equal opportunity of the law, that is taken verbatum from the constitution, if astraight man is allowed to marry, then a gay man is offered equal protection of the rites of marriage by the constitution. This is a pretty simple concept, so it boggles my mind that anybody could think it's okay to ban same sex marriges.
I love Angela Polkowski lots and lots |

So tonight i went with angela to see Ted Nugent at the Palace, it was by far the most kick ass live show i have ever seen. For an old republican dude he can rip the fucking axe. I was very, very impressed by the entire show. Angela was really tired and quiet the whole time and acting kind of wierd but eh...some things can't be helped. So all things considered the night was really good and i had a fun time. I have untill next monday off of work which i intend to take to the fullest. I really have no idea what im planning on doing but hopefully it will involve my band, and hopefully my girlfriend will be around as well... |

Well today was 5 months with angela so i am allowed to write about how awesome my night was with her. We went out to dinner at her parents friends house and the cheesy potatos made me orgasm. All of the food that man cooked was gloriously excellent and i enjoyed every second of it. Let's see...after that we went home and angela gave me the presents she bought me for christmas...i had already given hers before we left. She got me a bunch of family guy stuff which is sooo cool. I love you angela and you are the best girlfriend ever =) I'm really surpised it's already been 5 months with her...it doesn't really seem that long or feel that long...everything still feels like the first day, like i have to impress her everytime i go to her house...so yeah it's been a good time so far =D hopefully everything can keep going the way it's been going
on another note christina rose had her wisdom teeth out and i wish her the best becusae she looks like a chipmunk

for that...Anyway...tommorow is studying and studying for the 3 finals
i have next week. Then hopefully at night more angela time. Sunday more
studying still but thank god that this week marks the end of the
semester and i actually get some time to relax and just chill out. Work
is a bitch....they don't pay me enough and i need to get a fuckin
raise. Other than that...my bands
going into the studio soon which is always good... I just wish more
people would actually listen to our music. My girlfriend really
actually listens to our songs and it makes me feel really good that
somebody...anybody at all HONESTLY likes the music we're making.
Something that we're all putting so much time and effort into, im glad
somebody likes it at least. As for the rest of you go to www.myspace.com/briges

Well last night was our show. It went really good much to my suprise. Phil and i were rushing all day to get everything ready and packed up for the show, and then finally i get to leave at 5 oclock and M-59 is backed up to shit. So it takes me an hour to get angela...but we finally made it to the wired frog at about 6:30. So we set up...kinda late but not a big deal(ignoring the fact i left my snare drum at home and had to have mike get his) We end up waiting around untill 7:30ish maybe later to start becuase the sound techs took their sweet fucking time micing the drums and sound checking us, but whatever. We had 15 people come to see us, which was fucking sweet and i hope everyone enjoyed the show. We got live tracks recorded which ill put up online pretty soon here. NRG had their photographer come out and take some snazzy photo's of us perfroming which will be on their webpage pretty soon so we're all really happy and excited about that. Any thoughts or comments about the show are appreciated =)
Hopefully today i can hang out with my girlfriend...she's so fucking hot :P |

It amazes me, how interested people become in my band when i tell them that we're under managment. That we're going to be playing big shows at big venues with big bands. It really brings me to my knee's how nice people can be to me when they find out im actually making my way to fame and glory. However it's also interesting to note how lazy these same people can be about actually coming to my show. We're not a bad band, we practice 3 times a week and have been ASKED BACK TO THE WIRED FROG. How many local,unknown bands can you honestly say you know that have been asked back to a venue...without a bassist no less? The Local scene around my house is just so devoid of interest and care that it makes me sick. Where is your interest in the future of music? Can anyone honestly tell me they want nickleback to rule the mainstream rock scene for the next 20 years? Where is your faith in musical visionaries? Where is your interest in talent skill and catchy mother fucking chorus's? I can see now if i become famous, and i do plan on getting there one day, how many people will beg me for things, opportunities, and chances becuase i have the connections and the power to make your dreams come true, so Friday December 3rd at 7 oclock i hope to at least see some of you at the Wired Frog to see my band play, becuase if i get famous and you don't come to my shows im not giving you a god damn thing |

If you need directions or a ticket or any information regarding the show talk to me phil ahren or max about it and we'll be happy to sell your punkasses a ticket. 8 dolllars from us or 10 at the door...and remember if you come there's a good chance i will dedicate a song to you and embarass you in front of 100+ viewers of this plethora of sound we call a band. |
