Hello everyone! How are things going? The weather has been especially nice here in SC over the past few days with temperatures in the middle 60s, so I’ve been…working, actually. Been working during the nice weather.

How have your resolutions that you started at the beginning of the year been going? I’ve been able to stay pretty on track this year, I’ve been making a lot of spreadsheets indicating things I want to do and how much I have reached them and whatnot. Writing things down, or in my case typing them out, makes things a lot easier to keep in mind because you have a physical reminder of what you’re actually trying to accomplish. I’m sure in you’re mind you’re thinking “typing it out won’t help at all because all you have to do is close the file, and if it’s out of sight, then it’s out of mind”, but it’s my desktop background. I switched my picture of Naruto Uzumaki out so that I could have goals. Just kidding, I’d never cover up Naruto.

Everyone has their favorite websites, whether it be youtube, twitter, facebook, or anything like that…and a new one that’s been popping up is this formspring nonsense. The essential point of formspring is that you can ask someone a question, any question, anonymously, and then they answer it to this anonymous person and it’s posted on their profile. Primarily this website is a tool for people to indirectly try and get with girls by anonymously telling them all of these awesome qualities or for people to basically send hate mail anonymously. Those are cool. Here’s some of my favorite questions I’ve received:
1. Ever stepped in dog shit, then brought it in the house all over the carpet?
2. Have you ever put a dogs poop in a brown bag; placed it on someones porch, lit it on fire, rang the bell & then ran?
3. Is your shit soft or hard?
4. Have you ever smelled one of your friends shits?
5. do you look at your shits before you flush?
6. Have you ever taken a picture of one of your shits then called a bunch of your friends to come look at it?
G. Your penis nearly split me in two last time we had sex. Why?
You see what I’m saying? It’s just like…I’m at the doctor. That’s probably how I would explain my personal formspring. It’s mostly where girls get called sluts and dudes get hated on. Lots of fun. Everyone should get one.

So, there has been speculation of new MacBook Pro models rolling out soon, and I’m quite excited for that. My main purpose of buying a mac is so that I can screenshare with Taylor Stradling and steal pictures from her computer to post onto my website while she’s out doing her thing in SoFlo. In case you guys forgot, she’s beautiful. There’s everything but confirmation that the new Intel processors will be in the computers. The core series. I’m really stoked, it’ll make my band and my life better. I need iChat partners, so start dropping your screenames now so that I can build my repertoire up now. If you guys are interested in the new processors, called the core series…let me know. I’ll give you my basic explanation that I give people at work about it:
There’s a single core processor and a dual core processor, as we all know. So with the dual core, there’s straight up dual core which is 2 processors, and a simulated dual core which is one processor that acts as 2. The core series is 2, or even 4(for the upper core i5 and the core i7) of the simulated dual core processors, giving you 4 or 8-way processing.

My band is coming out with a few new shirt designs, as well as shorts for the ladiez soon. Also, we’re well in the process of writing for our next EP. We’re trying to just put out a lot of EPs so that we can cut out the filler and only provide you with hits. In case you guys are confused about anything I have said, please listen to our first EP in it’s entirety on our myspace, or feel free to purchase a physical copy from our online store:

Here’s a small secret to one of my goals this year that I’ve been doing for the past few weeks. Something called “$2 Tuesdays” on this website called “The Blackmarkers”. Every tuesday, they put up a couple of things from their website up for $2, and you can purchase it at that price with the coupon code the provide on twitter. I’ve been doing it a lot lately. Hopefully not too many people jock me and get the OTHER shirt they post up. Haha. They have a lot of dope shit, don’t sleep on it.

Now that I’ve let out a few of my secrets, remember that they don’t make friends…and go make some friends.

PS – SkyEatsAirplane(STILL one word) is almost finished with the recording process of their new record, and I, for one, and stoked as fuck.
PPS – tell me a secret
PPPS – if you don’t listen to Trophy Scars, you’re a fool.

Yo!

I know this has been going on for a while, but I am JUST getting into the idea of anti-Valentine’s celebration. It’s such an amazing idea to me. Even though I have nothing else witty to say about the holiday, I did want to show you these shoes that I’m super into. 2010 is going to be the year that I start wearing Supra shoes. Here’s a good beginning for me, hopefully:

These are called the Heartbreakers. I’m really stoked.

My friend JeffET, who’s mixtape I posted my last entry, has a website for his crew up. Electric-friends.com is the URL. One of these days I’ll be on the website too!

Lastly, I just want to remind you guys of the immense beauty that @tayallday possesses:

Alright. My band is playing tomorrow with a lot of other bands. Who you ask:
American Me, Endwell, CDC, Murderdeathkill, In Regret, and Path of Reprisal. Be there or be square.

AND ON THAT NOTE: goodbye.

What’s going on?

I always wonder if the people I write about ever read my website. Like that last post about Sarah Silverman..I wonder if she sees it and is like, “I can’t believe this nigga pilfered a picture of me and put it online.” I guess I should have sent a direct message on twitter and just asked for n00dz? That could have resulted in success. She’s gotta have a smartphone. I’m waiting on the @ reply @SarahKSilverman. Tik Tok.

My friend who has been teaching me how to dj, JeffET, just came out with his first mixtape! If you like dance music with some disco mixed it, even if not, download it! If you workout and you’re not listening to 3 Doors Down since you’re not in the military or whatever, then bump this shit. It’s an hour long and I’m gonna post the whole shit up right here. If you don’t work out and are naturally beautiful or whatever the case may be, you can still cop it while you’re doing coke or whatever it is. It’s called “I Stays Invested”.
JeffET – I Stays Invested

Other than that, my band is playing a show this coming Wednesday. I’ll also inform you that I have presale tickets for half of the presale price, aka 5 dollars. Flyer:

5 Dollars.

Alright guys. Have fun.

Hey guys.

I’m off from work for the next 2 days. I’m sure you don’t really care about my life, but the other day at work, I received a hefty titl-a-whirl backbreaker from a series of customers over the shittiest laptop we’ve carried in my Best Buy tenure. Here’s a scenario: 3 men, 2 women, a kid who looks like a really short Fred Durst and his shouldn’t be that hot, but is hot just because her life sucks and she isn’t atrocious , girlfriend were all ready to Angle Slam me because I sold out of the computer moments before their arrival. Fuck you. Get a better computer. I don’t wanna be Angle Slammed, Ankle Locked, fucking Chokeslammed, Tombstoned, Pedigreed, any of that shit. Not the kind of thing I go prepared to work to do.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys about something that I’ve recently been getting stoked about: prints. Yes, they’re basically posters, but prints are better. Why you ask? I don’t know…because they aren’t posters. Anyway, your favorite hardcore band E.V.A. is in the process of possibly getting some done and here’s one that I’m really digging:

If you click the picture, it’ll take you to our online store.

Anothr really cool one is one that my friend Carlos, ygtnha(you’ll get to know him as) Gran’, made. It appears that he’s trying to do this thing called “Come One Come All”, and here’s his first print related to that:

You can click on the print to go to his online portfolio of all of the different shit he does. Talented dude. Follow him on twitter if you want @xGran.

I haven’t talked about the new tablet phenomena that’s been poppin’ off lately! So, Archos came out with a tablet that’s running Google’s operating system, Android, on it. It’s pretty terrible. It’s a fantastic idea, but the way that Archos twisted and restricted the system, the tablet sucks for anyone who’s a legitimate enthusiast of the brand and the operating system. I have played with it a bit and it would have been fantastic, had Archos kept it open. After that failure, I decided to place my faith in Apple’s tablet venture. It was announced a couple days ago, and it’s called the iPad. iPad!? EW! What a terrible name. I’m glad everyone is calling it MaxiPad. Keep it up. To me, it’s a big iPod touch with programs redesigned to suit the size of the thing. Nothing super sick about it. No camera, not solar powered, can’t run multiple apps or anything! A lot of people I’ve talked to have expressed disappointment in the item, even a few pretty hefty Apple fanboys. I guess we’ll see. It should be out in March, I feel.

That’s really all I have for you guys. Guess I’ll toss you another picture related to a female?

@tayallday

Peace.

Hey guys.

Did you know that apparently the appropriate way to say 2010 is “twenty ten” and not “two thousand ten”? I like to say “two k x” or “two thousand ten”. Weird. I even write “2kX” on official documents. Yes, OFFICIAL ones…like leases and loans and shit. At the bank, they asked me what year it was, and I politely informed them that I’m clueless, but that I’m going to take a stab at it and say it’s the year of the goat. They weren’t amused. That’s alright though. People at work complain about me because I speak a foreign language. It’s not foreign, it’s called American. American is the best language, the only thing that’s fucked up about it is that everyone in this country speaks it, just not the same. Shit is pretty funny, you can get on the phone with someone and have no clue what they’re talking about but in English it’s the most basic shit ever. You know what I’m talking about.

So, let’s talk about some 2010 things poppin’ off. Firstly, my boy Carlos, aka Gran’, is going to putting out his first real mixtape next month. It’s gonna be pretty good. Kid’s really good at what he does and is driven to make the shit happen. Anyway, shit is called “Gran’ Opening” and, in normal mixtape fashion, it’s a mix of him over beats of other songs and some original tracks as well. I’ve heard a good bit of it already and it’s hot. Find him on MySpace and on Facebook(click the word for links) Here’s the intro track for you guys, and a peek at the album cover:

Gran’ – Gran’ Opening(Presale)

Secondly! SECONDFUCKINGLY! The best band in the sunny state of South Carolina, known to you by 3 letters, E, V, and A, has finally received the physical copy of their EP, known as the Manfiest DestinE.P. We’ve placed it online so that you guys can purchase them through those means. Here’s what the cover looks like and one of our songs, called “All Girls Are Sluts”. If you click the cover, it’ll take you to our online shop:

E.V.A. – All Girls Are Sluts

Thirdly, and I suppose lastly, I’m going to try and do all sorts of cool shit to my website throughout the year. I need a new theme and favicon for starters. I’ll work on that favicon probably tonight. Hopefully I can come out with something awesome.

Did you guys hear about that crazy earthquake in Haiti? Like a 7 on the Richter scale or some shit. Decimated the place, apparently. I heard that America is thinking about bringing some of those people over here. I say thee NAY! Haitians are crazy as fuck, and that’s word. I have a hard enough time understanding America as is, as well.

A few more things before I depart: @officialKat is awesome, Jersey Shore is the most addicting show of 2010, SierrEmerge is probably gonna date me soon(don’t ask questions).

Alright. Later.

PS – There’s this new anonymous question answer thing called formspring on the internet right now. I’ve got an account, and I, of course, was an OG to it: CLICK HERE to ask me anything you want without me knowing who you are. It’s a beautiful thing. I answer ALL questions, too.
