So right now while uploading my photos, I decided to put on a Van Halen record I picked up a little while back, and it is terribly awesome. Every song so far has at least three “ow”s in it and tons of “ooooh yeah”s. It’s funny but I actually like it.
Now on to the good stuff.
I finally heard from Christina after 3 days of nothing, it made me extremely happy.
I decided I dont want to watch TV this summer, so I went out and bought some books.
The Fate of Liberty: Abraham Lincoln and Civil Liberties
Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad
Himmler’s Crusade: The Nazi Expedition to Find the Origins of the Aryan Race
I have a bunch of other books I really need to catch up on. About 8. My goal is to get through them all by the end of this year. Yea I know that a long time but I am a slow reader.
Recently my cousin Mikey came into town for the summer. Its always good hanging out with him.

Especially when swimming and playing a few good games of shark.
“What is Shark?” you ask.
- One person is deemed shark.
- Decide on the number of times one must be attacked before becoming a shark.
- The Shark must take someone under water and hold them for 3 seconds in order to be considered an attack.
- Last survivor becomes the shark in the next round.
- People (not the shark) are only allowed on land for 3 seconds.
- No punching or kicking.
- (optional) Have a fun island with a hole in the center.
- (optional) Play at night with a bunch of friends.
After the game of shark we all came in a just hung out and played Worms on PSP and Call of Duty 4 multiplayer.
On another note, I couldn’t sleep last night so I went out and tested out the night function on my camera.
My favorite of the whole group.

Here is the video of Val recording a scratch track. The quality is kinda shitty, but I still enjoy the song.
We should be recording today, maybe I’ll record some more stuff.
Enjoy
P.S. For those of you who actually read this thing, check out my friends blog The Tree That Escaped The Crowded Forest.

Christina is out of town for 10 days, on a tour through Germany, Sweden, Italy, and some other place I forgot. Either way, I’ve just been trying to keep busy. Joe and I started recording Shake Shake Bottoms (Val) and it sounds really good, I’m very excited for this album to come out. I have a feeling it would be something that i would spend a good time listening to.
I had a video of a song but I’m having trouble with youtube right now, if I can figure it out I’ll put it up.
Today, after cleaning the house I set out for a bike ride. It ended up being pretty lengthy, about 4 hours. While on my ride I passed by the house I was first raised in.
I don’t think pink is a very flattering color.
I live on the very top of the mountain, so unfortunately I had to walk my bike up. Way too steep.
My legs are definitely not happy with me at the moment.
Right now Im getting frustrated trying to hack my friends PSP, I keep running into dumb problems. It wasnt that hard hacking mine.
Hopefully this week will get better

I finally got a camera. Its kinda late and I just started messing with it so I haven’t really taken any pictures. I updated the vinyl section with what I have. For example this Rod Stewart Live album:
I know you wished you had spandex pants like that, I know I do. They would be great to work out in.
Once I get to taking pictures I’ll definitely updating some more. For now to hold you over here is a picture i took messing with the camera.

So I still have yet to get a camera. I had found my dads old digital camera and it worked for about 3 pictures then it just completely stopped working. Until I get the money for a camera I will just post like this. So I tweak a few of the links on my page, I put them into categories for whomever reads this. The section marked Vinyl is where I’m going to start putting pictures of my vinyl collection.
I got my bike last week and have been riding a good amount. My legs are badly out of shape. Hell, I’m badly out of shape. Last weekend Christina and I went on a very fun night bike ride, my favorite. My mother and I finished building the head for my project amp. It looks really classy, like it should be in some old mans smokers den, next to the leather chair and glass of scotch on the rocks.
I found my old 4 track cassette recorder yesterday, so I’m going to throw down some stuff on a cassette sometime soon. I’m going to be doing a split with Mark Anderson that will be download-able for free on the Leatherfist page. I’ll also put it on here for anyone who is interested. I need to start working on some stuff, but I’ve hit a bad writers block…
