J.G.F.U.W. Summary

Well, Jebus Gets Fucked Up Weekend was pretty awesome (and loooong) this year. I will be posting the summary for each day in their own posts soon. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for a kick ass time. It was really awesome that I got to see you all this year and party it up hardcore. Even though at one point I almost died, the good moments out way the bad moments like whoa!


Some Personal Thank Yous

Nick ST - Thanks for driving me around all weekend so that I didn't get a DUI or anything like that. That would have sucked.

Computer Girl - Thanks for letting us use your car and gas almost the whole celebration. That was pretty kick ass of you. Also, thanks for letting us stay at your house each and every night of it (at least I think it was every night...). OH, and thank you very much for the beers at Deja. That was very thoughtful of you :)

My Mother - Thanks for bringing me to the hospital on my actual birthday. I really thought I was going to die, and that would have sucked.

Shebus and her Man - Thanks for listening to my long and boring story on Tuesday. I talk a lot, I know. Also, thanks for hanging out, even if it was for a little bit.

Chris - Thanks for coming to Deja man, and Hair of the Dog. I know you probably shouldn't be out and about too much since the surgery, and I think it was awesome that you came out for those two days, son! Plus, thanks for letting me stay at your house on Wednesday.

Mike (guy from work) - Thanks for not bothering me with work at all on the two days I took off. I know there was probably a million things you could have called me about, but didn't.

Everyone Else - Thanks for just hanging out with me on this most glorious celebration of the curse god gave me (if he is actually real...)


To Everyone I pissed off this year, I apologize. I was just being pretty crazy drunk. You know how I can get sometimes. I know I have talked to a lot of you personally already, but for those of you that I didn't get to yet (or that I don't even remember pissing off), I am really sorry that I got a little crazy this year. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you, let me know. I really respect you all, and feel bad that I put your temper to the test.

Anyway, THANKS EVERYONE! Until next year :)

I Feel Sick

I am not completely sure what the hell is going on, but the world seems to either be shrinking, or becoming so huge that the abyss of such a thing is crippling. This is something I had talked to Nick about this weekend, actually. His answer was that I have just been stressing myself out with all sorts of responsibilities and such. I do agree with that to an extent. But, I can't really come up with a real "tell all" answer. Which sucks, because I tend to think of myself as a pretty smart dude.

I think when it really comes down to it, I just can't make my head shut up. First of all, I am not saying that I am different than any of you. I'm sure your head goes for miles as well. But, what tends to happen to me, is that when I think about one thing for too long, it actually turns into something else completely different. For instance, if I am thinking about... let's say... puppies. I all the sudden start thinking about football. I'm sure you can guess the result, which ends up with a couple very soar and unhappy baby dogs.

I first had explained this point to my sister, Shebus, and said not to go around telling anyone. But, whatever, the whole point of this fucking blog is to be honest and get some things out of head. Anyway, the other day I was at work, typing away, when I decided it was time to go to lunch. As I got up out of my chair, the plan was to get into my car, and go to Taco Bell. You need to understand the short distance I have to go to get to my car to completely understand this point. It is honestly straight the the elevator, down 4 floors, and right out the door. What's that, like 2 minutes or something? Anyway, the plan had completely changed by the time I had gotten the key into the door of the car. The revised plan, was to get into my car, go down the street to meet up with a drug dealer, buy a gun, text everyone goodbye, and slam a piece into my skull. I know that must sound bad, I guess, but I am not completely sure how that became the plan.

After thinking about it for a while, I kind of figured out what happened. Usually, it always feels like there are two people in my head. I guess you could say the devil and angle on the shoulders thing from all sorts of gay movies. But, it isn't really like that. It's more like two people in an office. One, is a hard worker that is on the level for the most part, but has kick ass weekends. The other, is a lazy son of a bitch, who spends his weekends jumping off of moving trucks and shaving every cat he can find. Somehow, these two people are friends, and trust each other. In fact, they spend every waking minute with each other. It works out well though. For instance, the first guy keeps the second guy from doing something really dumb, and the second guy keeps the first guy fun and amusing. Now, back to the point here. I think what happened for that 2 minutes, is that the first guy went to the bathroom or something, and the second guy was left to fend for himself. When I got to the car, the first guy came back all sorts of refreshed from his monster piss, and that's when I actually said out loud, in public, "what the fuck am I doing??". Yes it was very awkward...

This doesn't really happen very often. So, if you know me, don't all the sudden think I am going to kill you in your sleep or something. It just happens every once in while. The times I really DO fear, are those when the first guy goes on vacation for a couple days. Those days are not the best I've ever had, that's for sure... But, it is a lot more exciting than when the second guy goes on vacation. And, I end up with some pretty kick ass scars. So, I guess there is really no complaining. If anything, we need to find a way to evict the first guy. Then, everything would be awesome all the time. Or, there would be a blackness that no one can describe.

SIDE NOTE - Me and my sister were once talking about death, and she didn't really get the concept at all. I tried to explain to her that is was nothingness. She said, no, it would be just like sleep. I was amazed that she couldn't comprehend the fact of death. It was amazing to me! I think I finally ended the conversation by telling her that death is just like a TV. The TV has no idea whats playing when you turn it off. I guess that would really work with any electrical device, but, that just popped into my head real quick...

So, what have we learned here today? Basically that sometimes it's good to have a balancing in your head that you can't explain. Because it's potentially scary, and not knowing makes the fear go away. Also, it would be awesome if guy number two would murder guy number one. Plus, your whole life can be summed up by talking about electronics.

What a great post this has been :)

Budweisers Signature Glass

I just saw a commercial on tv... right now, all about Budweisers Signature Glass. I am actually kind of pissed about it, to be completely honest. I get mad enough about commercials as it is, but this commercial was all about how Budweiser made this glass that completely releases the flavor of their beer just by the perfect way it's designed.

I might be a little drunk at the moment. Again, to be completely honest, I am actually drinking Budweiser. But, I am so taken back by how much bull shit was in that ad. Seriously, c'mon!! There is no fucking way that they invented that glass. I have seen many like it, and not all are even beer glasses.

I can see it all going down right now. Everyone who is a beer lover, or even extremely drunk at the moment (me), running around telling all their friends about this new "fact" and they should all try it. It's classic word of mouth advertising. When you really think about it, there are only a couple of demographics that really fall into the word of mouth advertising campaign category. Drunk people (the story teller group) are very high on the list. But, also high on the list, are retards. Yes, that's right. There is a demographic listing for the mentally impaired.

SIDE NOTE - Thank god for spell check, haha.

Anyway, I am a true Budweiser lover. I don't think I would drink anything other than Budweiser. Unless I am feeling a tap beer at the bar, in which case I would go with Stella. But, this is not a basic rant from some Heineken jerk that doesn't know the difference from beer to beer. This is a complete disgust for having the beer you love, make a shitty commercial out of something I know is bullshit.

Fucking A, Budweiser. Don't resort to the same thing everyone else is doing. Be yourself. I swear to god if you ever play that commercial again, I will have to look into a different brand. I probably won't, but STILL. Don't make me feel ashamed for drinking what I'm drinking. I have a lot of respect for you as a brand, but don't make us all look like idiots by spreading this kind of crap. Why can't you just talk about the taste, or quality, or ANYTHING else. That should all sell your base customer way better than some crap story about how the glass you "invented" makes your crappy beer taste better.

In fact, that's another point all together. You are making people think your beer tastes like shit without the "special" glass. You're a billion dollar brand! Why didn't you pay someone who knows how to market instead of the no name hack fuck company that made that commercial? It just makes no sense to me.

Whatever. I can only assume it doesn't matter to you. You don't care about your brand. Why you wouldn't, I have no idea. But, it would seem that way. If you DO care, I would stop the placement of those ads, and never speak of it again. Go back to the horses, and the old cowboy spirit. That's what makes you... YOU! Unless you would rather be another Zima. I guess that's up to you...

A Relocation and Thoughts

Well, I am finally doing it. I am moving to Middletown. I just found out today that I am approved, and now I just need to figure out when to move in. I am hoping this weekend, but, as it turns out, there is a photo shoot in NY that I might have to go to. That would suck. I originally thought it was supposed to be in late May, but I guess I was wrong. Anyway, here's to hoping I don't have to go. I am way to excited to move into the new place.

The original owner of the apartment was Greg. Someone we knew from the warehouse in Middletown, CT. I guess Marcus, from Pullout Method, used to live there with him, but money troubles arose and then Greg needed a roommate to pull the other half of the rent. Luckily for both me and Greg, I was looking for a place in the area of Middletown. We used to hang with Greg more often then we recently have been, but he's a cool dude, so living there should be fun experience.

Why would I want to move to Middletown if I work in Stamford? Basically, everyone I know is in Middletown. Plus, I have developed an interest in someone who lives close to there, and I am curious to see where it will lead :) The biggest reason, is for Cut Me Deep really. Being this far away from the crew makes communication a little harder. Since everyone involved with Cut Me Deep is basically in and around Middletown, why not be there, too.

It's a bad ass apartment! There's 3 floors, which include a basement, 1st floor, and 2nd floor. Starting off in the basement, there's a washer and dryer, there's a pool table, and a deck. Moving to the 1st floor, there's a pretty big kitchen, a pretty big living room, and another deck. Finally on to the 2nd floor, there's my room (which is really I saw other than the bathroom). My room is pretty bad ass, too. It's almost like two rooms since there's a loft in there. I was thinking about putting the bed up in the loft. But then, Nick brought up the fact that I would probably kill myself somehow. So, then I got to thinking about putting the bed on the regular floor, buuuut, I know I would jump off the loft into way more than anyone ever should. Plus, I kind of like the way my neck isn't broken right now. Hmmm, I guess I have a problem then. Shit.

The really cool thing about this place, is that hear and hot water is included. Some of you might be saying "so what ya fucking jerk?!". Well, out here in Stamford, you can never find a place that has ANYTHING included. Everything out here is over priced and small as hell. I am so relieved to be getting something for under $2,000. When I was looking for places out here, I found an apartment that was under 400 sqr feet, for over a $1,000. The sad thing, is that I almost took it, and there was nothing included. It was basically a dorm room with how small it was. But, from what I'm told, the closer you get to NY, the drastically more you pay.

So, this weekend should be awesome, as long as I don't have to go to the photoshoot. Can't wait to get in there!!

The Weekend

Well, needless to say, this weekend was pretty freakin' crazy. To be completely honest, I don't think I remember much of it. All I remember well, is almost getting my ass kicked by a couple of people in New Britain, CT. That video will be posted by the end of this week. Maybe later tonight, depending on if I don't get caught up in being lazy....

Let's hit the break down, shall we??


Friday

I met Nick at his house in Haddam, CT, where we waited around for a while because he takes forever to get ready. Then we went to Stars house. I kind of just laid on her couch while Nick MySpace'd it up. Anyway, from there, I think we went to CLH (a party house in Middletown). We chilled there for a while, until it was time to go to Up or On the Rocks in Hartford, CT. There was supposed to be a block party going on, but the rain turned it into just a show. It was still pretty bad ass anyway. I don't remember leaving, or driving to back to CLH, but whatever. You can see the video in the videos section.

Saturday

This is where I kind of lose track of what was going on. I know I left CLH in the morning and went to New Britain to meet up with Nick, Jen, and Computer Girl. I also know I humped the shit out of all of them. They loved it. I believe it was this day that me and Nick decided to take a drunken walk to the package store. We got some amazing footage on the way, and on the way back which will all be posted soon. Basically what happened, was that me and Nick were being a bit loud in the store, and some people got pissed. I talked about there mom, and after we left the store, they followed us in there car in an attempt to jump us. To be completely honest, I never saw it coming. But, tragedy was averted and we didn't get our asses kicked.

After New Britain we went to a party in Rocky Hill. The house belonged to a friend of Marq's, so we didn't quite know them to well. But, Sam ended up being there. So, that worked out. Anyway, we were partying away, when all the sudden Nick did... something... and got everyone mad. They all swore they were going to kick the shit out of him if he didn't leave. So, we left. I am not completely sure if he really did anything, or if they just wanted us all out of there. In fact, I went around asking everyone what he did, but no one seemed to know. Fucking assholes. So, from there, we tried to go to Marq's house to pound a few beers. We got lost and it took us forever to figure out where we were, and then Marq called and said we couldn't go there anymore. So, back to New Britain we went. I have no idea what happened there, but I remember getting into a talk about religion for a hot second...

Sunday

This day was not awesome. I lost EVERYTHING!!! First, I lost one contact. Then, I lost my cameras charger (it's useless without it and it's expensive). Then, I lost my happiness when the hang over really started to kick in. I felt like such shit alllll day long. It was horrible. So, we watched movies all day long. I think Nick went out to party for a bit over at Bryans house, but we pretty much kept it quiet. After Nick got back, we went over to Chris's house, where I just played Grand Theft Auto IV and fell asleep. Nick and everyone stayed up and got bombed though. So, at least someone had a good time.


Well, there you have it. The weekend of FASTERCHILD. It was a good one, and I can't wait for the one coming up.

Lamb of God: Sacrament

I was just looking for some new music to listen to earlier today, when I remembered how much I loved the band Lamb of God. I decided to see if they had anything new out. Turns out, I completely missed a release. It was back in 2006 that they released their latest album Sacrament. After finding this out, I went straight to a download site to get it (yes, I paid for it, no worries).

This CD kicks ass! If you are into hardcore metal, definitely go out and get it. It ranges from extreme hardcore, to even more extreme hardcore. I think it should be the angry album of all time.


The Song List

01: Walk With Me in Hell
02: Again We Rise
03: Redneck
04: Pathetic
05: Foot to the Throat
06: Descending
07: Blacken the Cursed Sun
08: Forgotten Lost Angels
09: Requiem
10: More Time to Kill
11: Beating on Deaths Door


The best song on this album, in my opinion, is "Again We Rise". I think I have been listening to it non stop for a couple hours now. I am wondering when I will get sick of it. I'm starting to think never. It starts off with this demonic guitar riff, then hits this incredible scream until it goes right into the metal build up.

I am not completely sure if it can really compete with Lamb of God's previous albums, seeing as how they were extremely bad ass, but I will give it a couple more days before I decide on that one.

Anyway, I completely recommend this album to anyone out there that loves metal. Oh yea, and as it goes for anything I would ever listen to, this album is probably for adults only. Unless you parents don't mind you screaming adult language everywhere you go. If that's the case, feel free little ones.
