been a while

I suck at keeping up with this. It's been over 4 months since I've posted? Sad! Well, I have a new baby sister now, she was born last Sunday, so she's a week old today! Other than that, nothing really new. End-ish of the school year stress, summer plans, etc. I'm on Spring Break now, and it's really boring here. How lame am I that I stayed home over spring break?

Get at me! E-mail or facebook me or something so I have something to post on here, haha.

support my blog!

Hey guys. Though my view counter shows almost 1k views of my blog, my returning visits are near zero! I really need help if I'm going to keep doing this blog - I love doing it, but I need solid viewers. I made some new icons to put on profiles to support me, I'd really appreciate it if you used one of them, or the old ones (I'll post those codes here too):

Christians, represent! Let's get some background info here:
I went to Marquette for the Fire Up! Christian Youth Conferences last year, and I saw awesome bands like Morning Will Break, Mark White Band, and a few others. My group from First Union Church was bunking at a church for the night in town. After Fire Up!, there was a Christian Metal concert at the church. It was wicked sweet and there was this awesome (very cute) tall guy hanging around so me and my friend Jess went and talked to him. I later found out he plays guitar for worship at his church, which I attended on our way out of town the next morning, there we met again. I got his name (Walt0r Aho, on the right...yes, Walt0r, with a zero) and found him on MySpace. He plays in an awesome band called Abide with a couple of his friends, and they're way cool. Metal all the way and really original. I'm not even a metal head and I can enjoy them. Whether you're metal, or not, Christian, or not, give them a shot. They may just change your life through Jesus.

MySpace

lights out: update

Well, in attempts to reconnect with my lovely boys, I send them a message and I was all up in their grill like, "Eyyy, Lights Outttt, what's up homiesss?!!!!1one" Yeah, okay, maybe I didn't quite say exactly that, but regardless, they told me what's up. When I asked, they had just gotten out of the studio, recording a new song that they'll be releasing November 27th, along with brand new everything on their MySpace basically. They're writing a new EP, set to record some more of it in January, and in the meantime, they're playing a crap ton of shows, which you can find one near you on their MySpace page. Keep up with these boys, their golden!

atavan: update!

Hold up, wait a minute...put a little...L.A. in it! Sorry, I cheerlead too much. But, for real. My boys messaged me the down-low, and they're still the same loveable grouping of Josh, Jim, Christian, Teddy, and Joe, but there is one major difference: location! The boys moved out to Los-freaking-Angeles in September. There, they have been writing some new lyrical madness for their next album to be recorded in January 2010. They're really excited to get these beats down in concrete, and so I am! I can't wait to hear the new tracks. Hey fans, turn up the heat...message the boys to get me free beats! Ha, you like that?

Sounds Like: All Time Low meets The Maine

I so meant to review these guys eons ago. I met Mike, pictured, roaming the halls of Comerica Park at Warped Tour in Detroit, and be being a shameless self-promoter, told him about my blog. He thought it was wicked sweet and I promised to MySpace them and get them on here ASAP. I guess I just figured I did it already and forgot. Anyways, Lights Out consists of Mike, Ryan, Doug, and Chris. I don't know them all personally, but Mike was pretty cool. I have a picture with him on my Warped blog I believe. Kid has gorgeous eyes, completely illegal-acts worthy. Their music is the same kinda fun stuff that All Time Low does, spunky riffs, flowing vocals, you get the picture. Other than that, I have one word: awesome!

MySpace

saturday night shakedown: talkin' with mike reed

So, I was a-talkin' to one of the SNS cuties via MySpace a few minutes ago, and cutie numero uno, Mike Reed, clarified some fogginess in the M.I.A. Josh Mondro issue. And really, in my opinion, it's a complete non-issue. As soon as I saw his smilin' face gone from the pic on SNS's MySpace, my soul did the happy dance. Just wasn't my kinda person. And the story behind his absence deepens these feelings.

I won't spill someone else's dirt when it's not my dirt to spill, but coming from Mike, he said that Josh basically lied then screwed him over. So, Mike is now the only original SNS member left. (I'm glad the sexiest one stuck it out) Mike's a really dedicated sweet guy, and I saw this in him from day numero uno. He was the one who started talking to me and got involved in my blog when it was just a wee baby in the makings. He was really supportive and helped me along by giving me stuff to write about, just like a lot of other people did. (Randy Randol, etc.) Mike "was very devastated" when all the boys started resigning, then Josh went AWOL, but he realized what the best of us do - it's all the for best. His heart's in it. Their hearts weren't. It was meant to be this way.

And he found 2 other people who feel the same way, and I can testify Chuck and Roby are hard-working, super dedicated guys. Chuck worked a lot on Michigan Bands MySpace with me, so I know how hard he can work when his heart and soul are there. I don't know Roby well, but I know he has to be great to be working with these two hunks - and by the sound of their demo they rock together. The new SNS is far from the old, but miles in a good direction. Mike "never really enjoyed the old music", though he wrote it. He says: "This new music is fresh, and comes completely from my heart. If im gonna write music, its going to be meaningful and something that i enjoy playing, and i hope that it helps people out with certain hard situations going on in there lives."

...in Jesus name we pray, Amen.

revamp'd: saturday night shakedown

I can't keep up! They keep changing. I guess ix nay on Josh Mondro-aye? Say hello to the incredible trio, the original Michael Reed, who's heart and soul is composed of sheet music and symphonies, along with my home boy Chuck Hendricks (hello, Michigan Bands MySpace? Love!), and Roby Kost.

I'm not sure what the deal is with no Josh, and Chuck and Roby joining, but it may be awesome. Their new demo's are stellar. I don't know much about them though, I'm sort of out of the loop. I'll get my lazy ass on it though...

Keep up with me, the boys, and of course The Jones' (he, he) on Twitter.

michigan bands myspace: HACKED.

Okay, well, some kid named "Matt" hacked our MySpace and changed all our shit, and is now running it. Lame, right? Hackers suck, but what can you do.

To be honest, we don't know WHAT to do...so I'm calling this a lost cause.
