It's been a while, damn. A lot of great things going on. Sometimes I feel good. Sometimes I feel bad or depressed for no reason. I don't mind anymore, I just go out and do what I want. . .

I got to hang with TWISTED SISTER yesterday. I was working on set with them for a tv show. I got to see them perform 5 songs right in front of me. They rock. 80's rock ballads feel good. The Price was my favorite song that they played. I'd never heard it before. . .

I recently became a contributor for American Apparel's internet radio station, Viva Radio. It's pretty cool. I just got my first interview up. Its about one of their contributors from Mexico, Dulce Fernandez.

She hosts the only All-Spanish show on the station, Sencacion En Espanol. Check it out sometime, it rocks.

Still working on the Rat Collective.

I'm planning on getting a shipment of goods out to The Dominican Republic sometime before Christmas hits. If you've got anything (skate shoes, boards, trucks etc.) to donate, please hit me up:

Recently read The Catcher in the Rye. That book made me happy. Sure its about a lot of depressing stuff, but what can I say, it makes me feel alright. Life isn't all fucking sunshine, lollipops and smiles. Lots of it is mega fake. Phony.

I don't do that fake shit anymore. And if I do, I sure as hell do admit it. And that feels great!

Anyway, be cool.
