READ IT!

I completely forget about this thing all of the time. Maybe because the events of my life, often, leave me speechless. I honestly dont know what to say to anyone anymore. If everyone could just be real, everything would be easier. I dont like the feeling of walking into a room, knowing people were just talking about me or someone was just saying something about me that isnt true. I try and try over again with the same people but at some point I have to realize theyre just toxic for me.

Aside from that shit is pretty good. I’ve been working so hard the past few days and it’s all going to pay off very soon. It feels good to be creative again and have something of my own. The next few weeks are going to be pretty rough but I’m excited. And this weekend is going to rule! Good shit!

Going to the circus tonight I swear if this snow ruins it I’m gonna cry like a little baby. I am sooooo stoked. I’m gonna be in the circus one day I swear.

It’s been so effffing long since I used this. reading those old posts is making me laugh hysterically. And it’s really making me miss my time in Hoboken. That was some of the best shit everrrr. I swear everytime I start or re-start one of these blogs my life is so much different than before. But I’m happy to know there will always be those constants.

I should probably start using this more.

So I just went to Anthony Ranaris tumbler to read about what’s going on with him and everything. And what do I see? That he isn’t blogging anymore because people jump on everything he says and twist his words around. Fuck them. You’re a bunch of 15 year old scenester fucks that have nothing better to do such as a job or an aspiration to be anything more than a dick sucking merch guy. They have no idea how hard he works to be where he is and how he deserves to say whatever he wants especially on his own blog. That just really gets me. I know what it feels like to be opinionated and not be able to find an outlet to express it. Hopefully this just means there is going to be another amazing bayside cd with a lot of good material soon!

October 3rd whos going with me to see them? fuck yea.  Keith buckley is too good looking ;)

I have been on warped tour for 2 weeks now surrounded by a ton of bands, trends, haircuts..and you would think that a guy like me would have a million things to say about what I have seen here, and i do. I don’t like just popping up and saying this band sucks or this band is great. i try my best to wrap my head around things and analyze them before I talk about them.

Now there are bands that are bad for sure and bands that are great. The most disappointing thing that I am seeing these days is just completely fake bands. And I don’t mean fake in intentions and attitudes. I remember when that was the problem with the scene and I wish that was all it was. Things have gotten a lot worse then I could have imagined. The amount of “bands” that I see using autotune live, playing to drum tracks with a drummer pretending to play along, people even straight up lip syncing. It’s outrageous. Bands that use professional songwriters and bands that use sex appeal to win over 13 year old girls. It’s just awful. It almost makes me wish for bands that are writing and playing music just to get rich because that would be better then bands that are having other people write it for them and then pretending to play it live.

what really breaks my heart and gives me the feeling that this black cloud disguised in neon is going to continue to digest our scene until there’s nothing left of it is that no one seems to give a shit. The bands that are using auto tune when they play, don’t turn it off in between songs so they sound like auto tuned robots when they talk. It’s such an insult to people’s intelligence and these bands don’t even have to hide it because everyone is eating it up anyway. They need to take that shit over to radio disney.

To be honest I saw Brokencyde and Millionaires and after seeing a lot of other bands, I wasn’t even that offended by them. I mean, I don’t like it still, but at least they are exactly what they claim to be. They’re not pretending to be bands. They’re not trying to trick anyone into thinking that they’re musicians. And at least they write their own fucking songs.

I guess what I’m saying is, there are silent killers out there that are poisoning us from the inside, and they’re flying under our radars because they’re holding instruments and pretending to play them while we’re all bitching about the fucking Millionaires.

Ok I totally get all of that and I love Anthony and Bayside BUT… You are a huge fan/friend od paramore and they aren’t doing anything fake but they FUCKING SUCK BALLS LIKE REALLY REALLY BAD. And yea people should be worrying about “bands” like Millionaires because they do lipsync and theyre just taking up space on warped tour where a valuable band could be. Thats Kevin Lymans fault though.

Disgust me. I lost complete respect for somebody over the past week and its just gross now.
