As Cities Burn's new album Hell or High Water is amazing. I really don't know what to write about it. I'm kind of at a loss for words. The wait was worth it. This album will probably be my favourite of 2009, unless Brand New get it in gear and release their new one.
Speaking of albums, to be honest, I was highly disappointed in Manchester Orchestra's new one. I know I'm going against the grain, because it got five stars everywhere, but I don't like their new sound.

Albums I Can't Wait For...

Mewithoutyou - It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright
Nathan Phillips (formerly The Winston Jazz Routine) - Postcards (to be released digitally)

been a while.

life really sucks without a job. i sent out my resume to a design company today. i doubt i'll hear back. i've been emailing employers on craigslist but i never get a reply. i'm starting to lose all hope in craigslist. on the bright side, i did recieve my tax return check. so that helps.

i've been writing an awful lot lately. tonight as i was driving home i was thinking about how i always play scenerios in my head. i have made up conversations with people. it's an odd thing that i've always done, so i wrote a song about it when i got home.
i've always wanted to record an album. it's been a dream of mine for a long time. i'm so serious about it that i even made my own album art cover the other day. i've always written about life and things that were on my mind. but recentely i've noticed that my writings have been more mature. and i'm slighty starting to share them. now if i can get the courage to actually play them in front of people.

and i play the scene over and over in my head
but it never turns out that way in the end
and i converse with you until i realize
that your words are my thoughts completely contrived

in passing the time on dark roads late at night
i talk to you in my head instead of by my side
and i know it's not healthy to do all the time
but i wont stop until my heart is petrified

and my mouth moves
but nothings heard
just the voice i hear in my head

portfolio.

it's coming together. finally.

trash awards.

frustration ran high yesterday in some big games. and i witnessed some terrible displays of sportsmanship.

example 1. - jose bosingwa.

liverpool v. chelsea. huge game. title implications. being a die hard 'pool fan i was stoked about this game. and even more stoked about the outcome. but seriously what the hell?!?!?!?



how the linesman didn't see this is beyond me. and what's funny about all of this is that the FA (football association) is taking no action against the unibrowed piece of trash.


example 2. - james harrison.

i'm not even going to start on how i feel this game is tainted. the refs were absolutely horrible. it's sad that they have such a huge impact on the game in that way. and if you disagree with me either you are blind or you weren't watching the game. but we all saw this play. it was inexcusable. i felt that harrison should have been ejected. i guess anger management classes didn't work for this roid ragged piece of trash.
