new update starting with... the band. our recording process is going pretty smoothly, we've layed down the guitar and bass for our first song. the next song we'll definitely do drums first. i think we're gonna have an acoustic track on there somewhere. our second song is already basically written. i wrote it and i think we might actually have to add another guitar part to it. we'll see. i have to write some lyrics tonight. going along with that, the annual telethon is coming up and we're going to be on it, so if you're gonna watch it, check us out. since our ep isnt finished, and we arent confident with our first song yet, we'll be covering taking back sunday's "a decade under the influence" since we've got that one down.

also john gets his license on saturday so we're gonna drive up somewhere... i dunno... mark and john were talking about some trip. itll be cool though. im gonna see if meri wants to come over after school tomorrow. natasha said she might come by on sunday so we'll see. its a long weekend so i think we're all gonna crash at my house on saturday and then we'll probably end up at john's on sunday night.

i've also been doing some mixtaping... this definitely isnt one of my best, but it's got a really good flow. it's gonna be part of a series. this is chapter 1: if all else fails, i can count on this.
