crazy to think it’s been a full year since i played a show (& i’m not even upset about it)

unplanned day off from work (thus 3 day weekend) & might actually go buy that new converge record (because it rips)

went to the movies today for the first time since the bone temple in jan. saw masters of the universe & it was a lot of fun. the cost.. woof

how did my legs get this far apart?!

yesterday was 7 years since i lost one of my close friends. today i started my day at a viewing for my mom’s best friend. i’m tired.

also 21 years ago today.. Marathon’s CD release show, in a New Brunswick basement. Marathon would call it quits a year later with some members going on to play in Polar Bear Club. if you’re unfamiliar, dive in!

21 years ago to the day.. 4 piece Nakatomi Plaza in a New Brunswick basement. This era of the band seems to have been poorly documented despite being the best!

next week marks 7 years since one of close friends passed away. we hung out a bit saturday, i said “i’ll see you soon” when i left & monday i was getting messages saying sorry for my loss. he passed on his sleep. you never fucking know. show your people love openly & often.

A serious piece of advice that many of you probably already know too well: Don't wait to tell your friends how much they mean to you. It's easy to just take for granted that tomorrow is gonna be there for us all but you just really never know. So many people I wish I could just talk to one more time

conflicted over the passing of my mom’s close friend. i’ve known her since i was about 9 yrs old. she never felt like an aunt or 2nd mom but always in the picture for the most part. she also got very brainwashed with politics. no way my mom can make it here for a funeral. likely falls on me to go

never forget when our old recording engineer made us watch 2 girls 1 cup in the middle of a session..

it’s funny to me that the door guy at the church show last night was the drummer of kid dynamite

solid hangs with @hubbellcolours.bsky.social today. great reason to take off of work. one day we’ll tell you all about how my car sounded like it exploded & yet was somehow.. fine?

nothing like having lunch with @hubbellcolours.bsky.social on a random wednesday in may..

random day off from work for rad reasons!

save to say i need a cut & trim..

got my eyes dilated for the first time ever. i can’t see shit. i hope this makes sense

scheduled an eye exam tomorrow.. first one in nearly 15 years.. oops

wanted to relax & read comic books after work.. ended up running around & replacing my front brakes on my own

snagged the new @ashcanpress.com book! have to shout out @griffintalkscomics.bsky.social for being my backup option in case this didn’t pan out

@griffintalkscomics.bsky.social might need you to hold me a book if i don’t get it before work is over

this past weekend broke my 4 month streak of not attending any shows at all. it was nice to see so many homies in one place

Nakatomi Plaza - “Meanwhile In Greenpoint…” 05.26.05 // New Brunswick, NJ

after finally seeing this nakatomi plaza / marathon footage nearly 21 years later.. i’m convinced that era of nakatomi plaza was completely underrated & better than so much other shit at the time. so glad i got to see them so many times

19 seconds in.. young me

footage has been transferred. just need to grab it on the way home & start to dig thru it. 90 mins of footage from what i was told. almost exactly 21 years untouched, unwatched..

mail day!

i can see the impossibles AND hot rod circuit in the same weekend but i have to attend ska shows to see either?!

holy crap! @danhausen.bsky.social in wwe is the best thing ever. made wrestlemania worth the watch.

when will it stop?!

something different this time around, i had a handful of the songs mixed without vocals to help visualize the flow of the album. no revisions or anything like that yet but holy fuck do they hit hard. i can’t not drive around with these songs LOUD

listening to rough/not final mixes in an effort to motivate myself.. my brain is more so in editor mode this time. one of my favorite mindsets to be in. could easily put out an ep but an album is more important to me

now in my possession. one step closer to digitization. confirmed by my friend that this footage hasn’t been seen by anyone since we were at the show.

playing catch up & added this one to collection

ebay nutbags selling copies for $300

probably overpaid for the new angine de poitrine record last night but also likely completely underpaid considering what the first record has been going for & how fast copies sell out

woke up early & went to a vinyl show in my hometown. lots of old white dudes selling nothing interesting but i finally grabbed this gem..

first time at a new to me record shop & i got a free 7” along with a discount on the other, & of course one of my favorite splits ever

shoprite playing SRDE

someone saw the band’s story & decided to unfollow us & force unfollow us from his account. guess this means i’m never getting my refund?

just put in my number in for the free samples at shoprite & 5 samples came out. also found a dollar in a puddle. luck of the irish for me i guess..

so when my time comes & my life flashes before my eyes, will i see you again?

every morning on my way to work i spot the first gas station i see’s price. it went up to $3.05 last tuesday & today it’s $3.39.. my job requires driving my car & putting in gas often. rip wallet

i’m so tired..

oops two years ago

danhausen in wwe is better than danhausen in aew & not being used at all

just finally found out how a friend of mine passed away back in july 2015. i never knew what happened just that it did. closure of sorts.
