his is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl’s every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.
This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they’re at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favor cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don’t end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you.
This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn’t worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you’d ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn’t have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing “serious” between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: “oh, but we’re just friends!” And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warm body for her ego, you went anyways. Because you’re nice like that.
The nice guys don’t often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don’t seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can’t. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as “oh, he’s too nice to date” or “he would be a good boyfriend but he’s not for me” or “he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn’t possibly ask him out!” or the most frustrating of all: “no, it would ruin our friendship.” Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathize and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can’t figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do (I’m going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn’t last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realize they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.
So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys. You know who you are, and I know you’re sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker for a pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.
HAPPY LATE APRIL FOOLS MOTHERFUCKERS!

the templars - forever young |

Oh sup update???? LJ has gotten way to fucking emo for me to update (not gonna lie I've posted too much emo shit in it myself).
Anyway quick 3 months update:
- Superbowl of Hardcore = amazing
- Hung out with Nick for 3 weeks = awesome
- Went to Poland for 2 weeks. Got to see family and old friends for first time in 8 years.
- North Carolina was good times wheelchairs coolers fireworks and 40s.
- I hate hardcore (and love it at the same time).
- I'm really considering moving back to Poland or like NYC back into a city...but I don't know if I could leave maybe the 5 people I consider good friends here.
Who wants to go see The Templars w/ Straight Laced with me in North Carolina in early august? Howbout All Out War/Merauder/Outburst in NYC?

stout - point of no return |

Wow so I just had one of the best weekends ever. Drove up to NYC and stayed with lyles (hot)sister in queens. We got there really late unfortunately so didn't have much time to do anything. Bought 40s and weed from some dude that calls himself the Knight Rider. Woke up next morning and walked around a bit in manhattan then hit up the show. It was pretty freaking insane I think like 900+ people there place packed to the brim. Every single band I was happy to see...fucking shutdown,indecision,crown of thornz,killing time, etc etc every single band. Kinda dissapointed that Madball was the special guest (expected something bigger)....but then again I was happy as fuck to see probably my favorite band in their hometown of nyc. Hit up Cafe Risque on the way back to florida hahah. 50 Year old nasty white trash strippers and onion rings with their asses in your face is where its at.
Nick is coming in a few days so I get to chill with him for 3 weeks. Then im going to europe with my dad may 22nd for 2 weeks (sweet deal only paying $900 for plane ticket and my dad is hooking up the rest of expenses). We're planning on going to amsterdam (for a couple hours 8 hour wait between planes), visit family in poland, then rent a cabin in the mountains in poland and hang out there. We might also go to london and some other places while were there. Can't wait!

Got to see madball finally 2 days in a row. I haven't been so happy at a show in a long time. Especially the orlando show. Scream my heart out and wig out for 30 minutes and forget about all the other bullshit. Suprisingly the show went quite smooth was expecting a lot of shit to go down.
School's been good getting A's in all my classes....again. without even trying. what a bullshit major. I'm gonna be done after fall semester and which I'm most likely moving out and possible going for a masters.
NYC/Superbowl of hardcore in a week can't wait.
Somebody get me a gf pronto tia.

badlands - wonderful days |
] |
Past week or so has been pretty wonderful. Got to hang out in naples. Ate at the shittiest hole in the wall bbq place but thw food was actually great. Saw Ignite/First Blood 2 days in a row and hung out with lyle and some kids from south florida. Saturday hit up clearwater beach with the guys for a bit. Man that beach is pretty beautiful. So many hot girls mmmm (I seriously need a fucking girl I haven't been interested at all in any for like a year now almost other than the 'damn she's hot'). Hit up The First Step show in the evening. I'm not really into the vegan-sxe-posi hardcore deal but damn the first step is so fucking good and their music is honest and sincere. It seriously bums me out that um 'certain people' try and take advantage of me and use me especially after how long I've known them and how much I cared about them and never did a bad thing to them. Whatever. I'll stop myself before I get too fucking emo on this shit. Luckily I have a life and enough amazing friends for it not to really phase me.
and ps. Please get at me if you are SURE or know you have the money and can get off work you can go to the superbowl of hardcore. We got a car to ride in almost positive. We have to buy our tickets pretty soon and make plans.

Wow so I just found out about Badlands. This band is fucking amazing. Really awesome melodic street rock n roll comparable to I'd say a bit of skrewdriver (but not racist) and a bit of bad religion and amazing vocals. check it out here. I was able to get a lot of their shit from soulseek and ordered an LP on egay.

But seriously now. Who wants to go to Europe with me over the summer. We will buy plane tickets and travel on train to random places all over. No planning at all just buy plane tickets get there and go from there. No shows or talk of hardcore...unless Discipline is playing somewhere then it's a must. I want to go to London, Paris, Venice, Rome, Naples, Amsterdam, Berlin, Warsaw, Athens. Wherever. Italy is the most beautiful country ever. I have the money saved up I will go if I can find 2-3 cool people to go with.

"To feel someone beside you is beautiful in life
But to feel a wholeness inside is the greatest feeling
There is nothing that can take that away

Falling asleep to bouncing souls is the best thing ever <333 .
Don't got much to say. UCF starts back up monday which sucks. Work is going alright with my sweet $12.50/hr I'm banking in.
Most likely driving up to Philly then NYC for the Panic shows with Modern Life Is War next weekend which hopefully will be good times.

upright citizens - never say good bye |

I found this album in my 'downloads' folder never listened to it haha. Upright Citizens -
Make The Future Mine And Yours. Some punk bank from early 80s. So simple yet so fucking good.
Man it's fucking 630am and I still can't fall asleep so im gonna just stay up till I have to go to work. I'mma update this shit as if anyone cares.
I spent the past couple days up in missouri hanging out with nick and his friends. That state is the biggest shithole ever but I had the most fun I've had in a while. Not even because I finally bought my first 40 got trashed and went to a strip club for the first time....as much as I'm against it lets just say I had a blast although I don't think I will be going again anytime soon. And that's not even why my trip was so amazing. I dunno I have so many friends and quiet a few very good friends down here but nothing compares to him (not gay).
I'm not going on the make or break tour (almost for sure) anymore and I'm really bummed out about that. Some shit is just beyong our control :( On a brighter note we might be riding up to Boston january 15th to see Panic (first show in the US in a loooong time as far as I know) with Modern Life Is War. For spring break I'm planning on either flying up to missouri again or going to poland. Either of the two but one of them will defenitly happen.

$12.50/hr bitches the drinks are on me. $$$$ bling bling bling $$$$
I got A's in all my classes this semester first time in a while. Hopefully I can get into a more ummm challenging masters program after I'm done with this bullshit.
I'm flying up to Missouri saturday morning coming back Tuesday. Gonna hang out with nick for a few days.
I'm not even gonna bother spending the night in daytona for TIFY...I'll prob work during the day and drive there the 3 nights for the fest I need $$$.
Make or Break tour is almost all set up we'll be in daytona,jax,orlando,north carolina,virginia,kentucky,toronto,ohio,st louis,chicago. The drive back from Chicago to Orlando is going to be killer especially that I will have to be in school and at work the day we get back or the day after.
I have a bunch of money saved up so hopefully that plus my xmas money I will purchase a 15 inch powerbook or a 15 inch ibm thinkpad t43 after tour. I really should get rid of a lot of my computer junk I have 3 computers on 24/7 (2 of them being faster than what most people probably have right now) another computer in the closet, and then a closet full of computer parts.
Hopefully there is some sweet reunions/shows coming up early next year I'm itching for another road trip ;) I might try and go to poland over spring break since I can probably afford a ticket now. Somebody should go with me and we should hit up a bunch of euro hardcore/metal/punk shows :)

Reach The Sky - Sometimes The Things You Say |
] |
w00t. False revelation. A rebellion based on lies. Break down the walls. Your slogan until you get inside. Fearing the truth - it will destroy your so-called scene. So easily bought and sold, as you await the next big thing. Hypocrites - every last on of you, so afraid you can't see the truth. Your rebellion so packaged and safe, controlled by fashion and fakes. False preachers up on the stage. Social climbers who thirst for fame. They are liars, complacent, and insincere, to be called out, their one most fear. Fuck you and your scene, I'm going to watch you fall. I am your antichrist, bringing down your false safe world. I shatter the lies you embrace, and expose your heroes as fakes. I look into your eyes and all I see is fear. A coward, a failed revolutionary. More hollow than the world you hate. Seeing that shit live made me about 1000 times more stoked about the band than I already was. All Out Fucking War I can die a very happy virgin now.
Shit's been going sweet. Finished up this semester (one more easy exam to take online). I think I aced all my classes. So I pretty much got a full time job ligned up now after I graudate + finally a raise coming in the next month or so from $10 hour. I got like 2 other job offers too at UCF alone (and that's without looking or applying anywhere people just coming up asking me to work for them) apparently I'm pretty popular but I think I will stick with where I am now.
H2O tonite is gonna be amazing. Next weekend I'm flying up to missouri for a few days to hang out with nick.
Then xmas - I will be buying myself a laptop as a gift to myself....either a 15 inch powerbook or a ibm thinkpad t43.
This Is For You Fest. Then 1-2 week tour before school starts back up again. Up to the east coast and midwest and one day in canada. Can't wait to hang out with some of the best dudes ever!
