today was one of those days....
days where you literally have a million flashbacks, today was probably one of the coldest days ever...i love winter and fall so much, because so many amazing things have happened to me during that time, and it's almost like you're totally in another world, the feeling you get, it's like the world is literally changing your mood and you don't it to, but it does anyway...you're all warm and relaxed...then boom, you're freezing, and i love, it reminds me of a past, and it kinda makes you appriciate life a little bit more better, and brings you back to earth..this is my apology to anyone i've offended, make feel unconfortable, ignored, or made feel left out...i am so blessed to be able to live the life i do, i have expericanced and still do experiance stuff that most people don't get to do, this will obviously happen to everyone, you get into a big atmosphere and you think you're on top of the world, but once you feel you are on top....things will obviously look so small, i have also made some of the best friends i have ever made in a long ass time, and i want to stick around with them, so this is my apology to every single one of my friends...you guys all have something that i hold special in my heart, and today weird, having all those flashbacks of me offically relizing..."damn...i'm growing up"...this is my apology, i just hope you can forgive, then if not, i'll understand...

i honestly do, last night, there was a little get together at Kevin, Kent, Wes' house from CT, i saw some friends i recently met like Marrisa, and i saw Kevin2Step whom i havn't seen since July. I was the first to arrive, as Kevin came back from McD's, and we were locked out!, Kent was shopping and Wes was at Liz' so it was funning watching Kevin flip out from all the mesquito bites he was getting, we finally got keys and just chilled and watch "Myth Busters" and obviously...checked MySpace, Jon, Brooke, Austin, Scott, James and them all came things started kickin in, One funny thing of the night was Kevin2Step was on my Sidekick for like 45min. and fell in love with it! after all the beer bong hits and Jon explaining how :thirsty: he was...it was time for me to head out, and have more of McD's at 2 in the morning, i can honestly say i had a blast and love all of those guys to death like my brothers (and sister)

back, from another day at work, ok..there are these two girls who alwayss come in and see me (like 3 times a week) and one of them would not stop bugging me about going out with her...shes one of those "like OMG like wow" girls that do nothing but need a boyfriend and goes to clubs, she says she loves my bands, but its all a crock, i doubt a fan of "Terror" goes to the clubs, anyway, she comes in today with her friend and she does the talking for her, this girl called me last night and i told her up front, hey, were not gonna date, period, my music is whats imporant to me, and plus she was kinda crazy, so they come in today and her friend is trying to make me feel like shit, i ask if theyre coming to a show im doing Saturday and she was "theres no point now", first off, thats one of my biggest pet peeves when people go to shows just to be with friends and/ or get fucked up, and then her friend goes "EWW NO! WE GOT DATES!" i was all "bring them" and then she flipped, so i just ended up laughing at them, little underage girls trying to make an adult jelious of some frat-guy they fuck just cause he drives a pimped out shitty Honda Civic, and threw a crayon and called it a night, so basiclly...dont fuck with me...im gonna sound like a cock here, but i AM a big deal, and if you wanna get involved with me, you better be a BIG deal too, in which all of my friends are...but don't fuck with me, cause you can't have me,
